Organic Skincare to the rescue

If you’ve been considering switching to a more natural and organic beauty routine, then synthetic chemical free, non-toxic products are the way to go. Asia has a long heritage of ancestral knowledge when it comes to organic beauty and it’s a quality that has passed down through the ages. The Prestige brings you the perfect skincare routine that is all natural and organic.

Cleansing the Skin

The first step, as always, in any skin care routine, is cleansing the skin. This could be done in two different methods.

Method 1

Raw Honey

Raw honey is the clearest example of the wonderful skincare that nature provides. Honey has antibacterial and lightening properties which help to fight acne, redness, and hyperpigmentation on the skin. It helps to lock the moisture in the skin by keeping it hydrated and doesn’t strip your skin off of its natural oils like other cleansers tend to do.

Tip: For best results, leave the raw honey on your skin for a while to use it as a mask to get the most out of it.

Method 2

Oats

A simple cleanser that works for all skin types is plain rolled oats. Yes, you read that right. Oats will not only cleanse your skin but they will also gently exfoliate and leave your skin feeling baby soft. These grains help to calm any redness and soothe dry itchy skin.

Oats are perfect for you if you are dealing with acne prone or oily skin.

Tip: Instead of using whole oats you can consider grinding them in a blender for easy application.

Rinsing the Skin

Rice has been near and dear to us since forever but how many of us know about the skin benefits of rice? Rice water is one of the most prominent ancient skin care secrets for Asians. It helps to make your skin look more youthful.

Tip: Whenever rice is being cooked in your house, keep the rice water to rinse your face with afterwards.

Skin Toning

Apple cider vinegar mixed with water is an excellent go-to natural toner. No matter what skin type you have, apple cider vinegar will always help to keep your oil production under control by keeping the pH of your skin balanced. Additionally, apple cider vinegar helps to stimulate blood circulation for healthier and better-looking skin.

Tip: To mask the strong vinegar scent of apple cider vinegar, add some rose water to the mixture and let the sense of peace and calmness take you over.

Moisturizing the Skin

Herbal oils mimic your skin’s natural sebum by making it suitable for all skin types to use. The simplest and the most natural way to moisturize the skin is by using coconut oil.

Coconut oil is known to be antibacterial, antifungal and contains amazing nourishing and moisturizing properties. Enriched in antioxidants, coconut oil helps to restore the skin’s radiance and keeps the skin looking fresh.

Other herbal oils like jojoba oil can also help to keep your skin moisturized.

Tip: A little goes a long way. To avoid your skin feeling greasy from coconut oil, use about two or three drops.

After struggling with numerous skin complications in this extremely humid weather of ours, it is only normal to develop the idea that skincare routines are complicated and expensive. The sooner you realize that it’s best to take a break from your normal skin care routine and go back to something simple and natural, the sooner you will know that our skin doesn’t need complex products with a long list of ingredients to take care of it.
