Starting an all natural skin care can be one of the best things you have ever done for your skin, but it can also be the most challenging. After all, how do you know which products out there are actually natural and which ones are not? Not to mention, which ones are effective and which ones are a waste of time? For one, you can make a lot of all natural skin care products at home, which saves you money and you will know for a fact that the product is entirely natural and safe for your skin. One recipe you can whip up is your very own vitamin C serum, which helps reverse sun damage to skin along with helping rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. Take a quarter of a teaspoon of vitamin C powder and mix with a teaspoon of distilled water, then add a teaspoon of vegetable glycerin oil. Use all over your face, neck and body to refresh and plump up skin. Read 10 Best Natural Beauty Products for a list of more recommended natural beauty products to add to your cabinet.

Other natural products you can whip up at home include body scrubs (mixing granulated sugar or sea salt with essential oils), hair masques (avocado, olive oil and eggs) and face masks (using various fruits and plain yogurts). If you plan to purchase your skin care products at the market or store, some of the brands that are certified natural include Aubrey Organics, Skin Botanica and Shea Terra Organics. These can be purchased online or in store and are all cost effective brands that offer an array of great products that are all natural and preservative free, from lip balm to body lotion.
