Natural Moisturizer For A Soft Skin
Moisturizing is very important for every type of skin as it helps to make the skin silky soft and supple. After rigorous regimen of cleansing and exfoliating the skin becomes rough and dry, hence moisturizer helps to regain the lost moisture of the skin.
A wide variety of moisturizers are available in the market these days. However, it is difficult to choose the correct one that will suit your skin and also do the needful job. Therefore, a safer bet is to use moisturizers that can be made by using natural ingredients available at your home, as these will not harm the skin because they contain no amount of chemicals.
Jojoba Oil can be used as an effective natural moisturizer as it is very rich in Vitamin E and acts as a natural antioxidant. It can be used on all types of skin, and even oily skin since it is non comedogenic in nature and does not block pores.
Another good moisturizer for dry skin can be made by combining grated beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, sesame oil, olive oil and filtered water. These ingredients have to be melted in low heat and when the mixture cools down, this can be used as a great natural moisturizer to make the dry skin soft and smooth.
Avocado oil acts as an effective natural moisturizer as it is full of essential vitamin like A, D and E and other minerals. It is very effective for aging skin as it helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
Honey works wonders in rejuvenating the skin, making it soft and imparting a natural glow. It has to be applied to the skin and kept for sometime and later washed off with cold water.
People with oily skin also need to hydrate and moisturize their skin. Therefore a natural moisturizer can be made by combining grated apple and honey mixed together. This has to be applied on the face and kept for 10 minutes and then washed off.
Strawberry is not only delicious for the taste buds, but it is also great for the skin. Some mashed strawberries have to be taken and blended with olive oil, coconut oil, and Vitamin E oil to make into a smooth paste. This can be applied once every day to get a baby soft skin.

Use a brush for body when you take a bath or shower – it’s a good peeling for body. Among skin care tips this is the best for normalizing blood circulation and removing cellulite.
To make your skin very smooth and tender and to prevent skin declamation follow these skin care tips: while bathing put dry milk in the water. And after shower always put a moistening skin care product on your skin: it can be oil, skin care cream or lotion.

:( To keep your skin lubricated from inside, you need to keep your skin moisturized from inside that is, you need to drink lots of water. Drink at least eight glasses of water every day and eat plenty of green fresh vegetables which will not only provide nutrition but also keep your body cells hydrated. Make sure that you keep yourself hydrated and do not wait to drink until you are thirsty because by then your body will be dehydrated. If you find yourself drinking plain water boring you can always drink sparkling water or flavored water.
Make sure you are in a room which has lots of moisture content which will keep your skin hydrated. Use a humidifier during the winter months to overcome a dryness of indoor heating at the same time if you are using a conditioner in a dry climate make sure you keep the bowl of water in the room to counteract the dryness of the air. Apply oils like aromatherapy oils, olive oil, coconut oil which can be absorbed immediately and be refreshing for your skin helping to keep moisturized throughout the day.
Try to avoid excessive hot water which can remove protective oils from your skin which can be prevented by taking warm bath and when you are wet you can then massage your skin with the above-mentioned oil. This thin layer of absorbed aromatherapy oil can act as a protective barrier which can prevent the evaporation of moisture from the skin and keep your skin moisturized, soft and supple.

If not available, curds can be used to moisturise the skin well. Just add a few drops of lemon juice and honey and wash off after 20-25 minutes.[/quote]
Kalyani honey is really more good as it gives glow in natural way.
