The best way to natural skin care is to be aware of it first. It is the body’s sheath which protects the organs inside your body, and it is generally through which we become aware of some underlying symptoms of a disease.

We have always to keep our skin clean. Because it is nature’s wonderful way of protecting our organs, we must prevent it from becoming unhealthy as much as we can. Cleanliness comes from having regular baths, in tepid water, not hot water or too cold water. Washing yourself after a day’s work, helps too.

Of course in many countries, especially the very cold nations like Russia, etc., have spas, where they put you first in a room which is very hot. That makes the skin pores open up, and your body sweats. Sweating indicates a healthy condition. When hot, the skin pores open up and move water from inside your body to the skin, so that through your sweating, the body still maintains the required body temperature for the other organs to function. Then you take a cold bath, after that hot atmosphere. This is done after a little while, after you have patted, not rubbed, yourself dry. The cold water, or rather tepid water, helps the body to take back the water released, again through the skin.

It is advisable to drink as much fluids, particularly and preferably water. Fruit juices are also good for your health. Some amount of sun is also required, because they provide a few vitamins. But don’t expose yourself to a hot sun for time more than necessary. Well, if you are on a beach, and want to get a healthy tan, use sun tan oil or gel and put in on your skin. Use a light touch to put it on. Just do it, as you would do, with a child. As far as possible, as one saying goes, “keep your back to the sun, and the front to a fire”. That’s good advice.

Regular exercise is a necessity, you may be surprised to know, for a healthy and glowing skin. That’s mainly because exercise pushes blood flowing a little more faster, and activates blood supplies to the capillaries that the skin depends upon for blood supply. That is why after an exercise, you find yourself glowing everywhere. And that is true of the skin. It is glowing.

In taking baths, use more tepid water than hot or cold showers. Tepid water allows intake of water through open pores and keeps your skin healthy, because simultaneously, you are able to wash the skin’s dead cells.

If you can indulge in an oil bath, say twice a month. Olive oil, or rubbing oil, is best. Massage slowly the oil into all skin areas, and wait for say just about 15 minutes or half hour. Then take a tepid shower, with a oil removing shampoo and with a gentle scrubber, slowly use it to gently scrub your skin and remove the oil. It’s an old grandma’s recipe that we have all forgotten.

But if any of you have gone to any of those genuine parlors which offers Chinese, Indian or Asian massages, you would find that they use oil, allowing it to soak, and then give you a rub down, and then you take a tepid shower with someone helping you to scrub down, using a nature based shampoo.

There any number of organic body lotions that are available in the market. Check them out for their oils used. There is no harm in talking to your physician about what kind of conditioners or shampoos to use.
