Why use chemicals to destroy your beautiful skin?

Hey Guys, here i am again!As you all most have known by now I am a huge fan of natural and organic products. having done series of research, i decided to create a blog with the title "why go or use natural products" yesterday. Those interested can look it up. Come to think of it we use all these cosmetic products with harsh chemicals in them for one reason or the other without knowing what they do to our skin. Many of us use these products skin problems such as acne, wrinkles, stretch marks and so on...while, nature has given us so much natural things we can use to treat all these problems at a lesser time, no side effects, and at a cheaper cost than all the cosmetic brands out there. Why pay more money to destroy your skin? when all you might need to treat your problem is right in your kitchen.As we all know, we need a lot of vitamins and minerals in our system for us to look healthy. Since we can ingest, why cant we as well apply it on our skin to make it look more healthier and beautiful?, i guess that wont hurt. I grew up to have a combination with an acne prone skin,which was quiet annoying and frustrating.There was a time in my life that i bought all the fancy scrubs and cleansers from the department store. And paid a fortune for them. A few years ago I decided to give some of the homemade versions a try. and you know what?from my personal experience, the homemade products have worked just as well, if not better for me. i will share one of my favorite recipe here today. This brown sugar honey scrub works very well, smells 100 times better, and costs 95% less to make.No joke! this is my all time favorite scrub.But what I love even more about this scrub is that its all natural and toxin free. We all know that Raw pure honey is a humectant i.e it draws moisture into the skin without leaving the skin dry as most scrubs after exfoliating do. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacteial properties which helps to combat acne, in addition it has anti-aging properties.It is known that ancient women like Cleopatra used honey and milk to keep the skin youthful, radiant, and smooth. Brown sugar:Brown sugar contains glycolic acid, that fights bacteria. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxyl acid, which is important in keeping our skin vivacious and healthy. Brown sugar gives you younger and fresher looking skin by breaking down glue-bonded skin cells which supports cell turnover. It also helps to improve sun damage and offers support to aging skin. Certain exfoliators can leave your skin dry and dull. Brown sugar is a natural humectant just like honey, so it absorbs moisture from your environment and deposits it into your skin. Hydrating and conditioning, brown sugar helps to keep the moisture locked in. It also guards your skin from destructive toxins and keeps it healthy, nourished and glowing. After knowing all these, we can now proceed to making our honey sugar scrub: Ingrdients:1-tablespoon of brown sugar 1-tablespoon of raw honey Procedure: Place the brown sugar and honey in a small bowl and mix well. Store in a jar with an air tight lid. Keep at room temperature. How to use:Wash face well. Apply a small amount of scrub(about 1/2 t.) to a wet skin and massage gently in a circular motion. Avoid eye area. Rinse face well and pat dry. This leaves my skin perfectly smooth and soft. I absolutely love it and love what it does for my skin. The cost doesn't hurt either. Try it out guys and let me know your reviews about it. I hope you will enjoy it just like i did! You can also check www.frailisse.com for some amazing natural skin care products.
