Herbal skin care cleanses the impurities, rejuvenates by providing nourishment, relaxes the facial muscles by messaging with herbal oils, and hydrates the skin. These recipes also help to fight skin problems like stress marks and wrinkles, acne & pimple problems, dark patches etc. Ultimately you achieve an elegant, glowing, problem free skin ensuring a long lasting beauty.
However, the point to be noted is that all beauty recipes are not meant for all types of skins. Therefore in order to derive maximum benefit we must identify our skin type before giving any type of care or nourishment to it. We must identify our skin type based on five basic skin types;
1. Oily skin:
This type of skin is acne and pimple prone, easily tanned, slippery texture and appears shiny with large clogged pores. It is because of the excessive production of sebum by the oil glands. There are drawbacks of oily skin, still, the skin remains younger looking, smooth and supple for a longer period of time compared to other skin types.
2. Dry skin:
It is just opposite of what oily skin is, appearing dry and dull because of very less or no production of sebum due to inactive oil gland. Dry skin tends to get wrinkled before time so it is important to moisture and hydrate dry skin regularly.
3. Normal skin:
In this type of skin, oil glands produce a balanced amount of sebum. The normal skin is neither too oily, nor too dry, so it looks vibrant and moist all the time. It does not require special care; however, daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing will keep this type of skin beautiful for a longer period of time.
4. Combination skin:
This type of skin is characterized by T-zone area, which is oily and other parts of the facial skin is dry or normal. The T-zone area includes oily forehead, nose and chin. This type of combination skin calls for two types of treatment for the two different skin types.
5. Sensitive skin:
Any skin type can turn into sensitive skin, be it normal, oily dry or combination. This type of skin should be treated as skin condition and should be taken care of, to protect it from over stimulation and environmental pollution. This type of skin reacts against synthetic cosmetics, cosmetic containing alcohol and artificial colors, fragrance oils, etc. Herbal recipes are boon to this type of skin, as it can benefit greatly from the natural skin treatment.
