Herbal and Natural Indian Spices Skin Care For The Summer
Soaking up the summer sun can be extra harsh on you, especially on your skin. But you don't have to be hiding out in a hole for the rest of the summer, with an armor of protection against the harsh sun, you can be out surfing and splashing all day, everyday. This summer, try ditching those greasy sunblocks and synthetic tonics for these organic and natural skin care concoctions, that are yummy as your fruit shakes and refreshing as a dip in the cool waters. Made with organic herbs, essential oils, fruits and some natural Indian spices, skin care essentials like these could keep you looking your best even on the hottest summer days.
The summer sun can leave your skin really dehydrated – leaving your skin looking dull and its oiliness in hyper-drive. That is why you always need to moisturize your skin with a light moisturizer that's perfect for hot weather. Water is probably your best beauty aid to keep your skin in a glow and moisturized. Try whipping up water-based lotions for your skin's needs. A cucumber-water mist or any herbal refresher is perfect. All you really need to do is to dilute cucumber juice or herbs in water – and voila – you have a cooling treat for your skin.
An organic and natural skin care body lotion also counts as one of our summer essentials. A tropical body cream can set your mood for a holiday by the sea. This cream combines the scent of tropical paradise in a jar.
To make this body cream, you will need: 4 ounces of aloe butter, an ounce of virgin coconut oil, a teaspoon each of coconut fragrance oil and yuzu fragrance oil and 1/8 teaspoon of Vitamin E. All you really need to do here is blend all the ingredients together in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy in texture. Transfer to a sealed container and use whenever needed.
Made with essential oils and natural Indian spices, skin care facial toners are a great way for guys to start a summer day. After shaving, put on this masculine herbal splash and toner to leave the skin moisturized and smooth. Just combine these ingredients in a bottle: 4 ounces of witch hazel, 2 ounces of mineral water, half an ounce of alcohol and glycerine, and 10 drops each of essential oils like those of sandalwood, bergamot and cinnamon. This organic and natural skin care toner works best for guys with oily to normal skin – irritation could occur to those with sensitive skin because of the alcohol.
A soothing bath is a good way to laze away the summer nights. Make your own bathing paradise using fragrant oils and herbs, if not natural Indian spices. Skin care ingredients like lavender, milk and honey can make for a good soak. Combine a cup of milk, about 5 tablespoons of baking soda and 2 tablespoons honey in a bowl. Add this mixture to a running bath, along with 5 drops of lavender essential oil. To get an even relaxing feel, put some lavender leaves and flowers in the tub. This will not only leave you smelling good, but this bath can do wonders for your skin too.
These organic and natural skin care concoctions can keep you protected during summer. By just whipping up a good mixture of herbs and oils, plus a bit of natural Indian spices, skin care will be the least of your problems. This leaves you more time to enjoy your holiday by the beach or just about any activity under the sun.
