Natural body care

How often should it be done?

For some reason, it so happened that taking care of the face and hair is considered an urgent necessity. But at the same time, we completely forget about body skin care.
Meanwhile, the body needs your attention no less. He needs the same procedures as a person: cleaning, toning, nutrition and hydration.
Let's consider each of them in more detail.

Cleaning

By analogy with facial skin, body cleansing can be done in the form of bathing (daily care) or peeling, which is recommended to be done no more than once a week.

Soap and gel

Soap products used for regular body cleaning dry the skin to one degree or another. To prevent this from happening, vegetable oils are added to the composition of soaps and shower gels, but most often their content in these products is minimal, since essential oil is a short-lived product and cannot be stored for a long time.
The good news is that you can "revive" your shower gel yourself by adding a little oil to it before use. It can be citrus, grape or almond oil, olive or lavender oil - which is more suitable for you personally.

You can also go the simplest way: buy a natural shower gel that already contains several types of plant components, including a natural coconut foaming agent - an excellent alternative to alkaline products.

By scrubbing

Peeling is necessary in order to free the skin from dead cells and stimulate the renewal of its upper layers. For this, natural scrubs saturated with essential oils are very good - a kind of combination of a cosmetic procedure with aromatherapy. Scrubs are selected depending on the type of skin, because completely different materials can be used as abrasive particles in them.
For example, sugar-salt scrubs are more suitable for oily and combination skin, for dry and especially sensitive skin it is better to choose options with ground coffee, coconut shavings and poppy seeds, which do not have sharp corners and have a more gentle effect.

Toning

Things are not as simple here as in the case of facial skin. If in the first case you can simply apply a specially designed tonic, then you will have to work on the body. In order for the skin not to lose elasticity and freshness, there are several types of care:

Gymnastics for the body (do not be surprised - physical exercises stimulate blood circulation and thus increase the tone of the skin).
Contrast shower.
Massage.
Baths with herbal decoctions, essential oils and sea salt (many ready-made salts and bath bombs contain all these ingredients together, saving us from having to buy them separately).
Wrapping (applied once a week and promotes weight loss, as well as eliminates cellulite and smoothes the skin, making it more elastic).
Nourishing masks for the neck and décolletage.
By the way, the use of natural scrubs has a toning effect on the skin.

Hydration and nutrition

It is highly desirable to carry out this procedure every time after cleaning - regular or peeling. As in the case of the face, for this purpose it is good to use essential oils, cosmetic clay, herbal extracts and other natural products.
From ready-made cosmetics, natural body butters, ubtan and coconut oil are perfect, which in itself is a unique tool for caring even for children's skin.
We should also not forget that the beauty of the body largely depends not only on care, but also on lifestyle. What foods you eat, how many hours you sleep, whether you are prone to bad habits - all these factors are of great importance for the health and beauty of your skin.
