<p><p>With all the skin care products on the market today, it can be
difficult to determine which one is right for your skin. As
consumers tend to be increasingly interested in the ingredients
of the products they are using, it is only natural for companies
to promote products based upon those ingredients. The problem
with this is that not all companies are completely honest about
the ingredients they use. There are many companies that claim to
use all-natural ingredients, when they are not. The same can be
said for so-called organic ingredients. 

<BR><BR>There are many benefits to using truly natural skin care
products. For instance, <a

he skin care benefits of almonds</a> have been well researched
and documented. Almonds have a high concentration of vitamin E,
which is absolutely wonderful for treating dry or sensitive
skin. You can create your own facial mask using almonds and
honey. Simply mix two tablespoons of crushed almonds with a
single tablespoon of honey. Apply the mixture to your face, and
wash it off with cold water after five minutes.

<BR><BR>The <a
href="http://www.yourskin101.com/natural-skin-care/avocado.aspx">
benefits of Avocado on the skin</a> are plentiful. It is
regularly used in high quality spa products, as it is rich in
vitamin A, B, D and E. Unbeknownst to most, an Avocado actually
has more potassium in it that a Banana. Avocado is an excellent
remedy for eczema, red skin, aging skin, and skin sensitivity.
You can also use Avocado as a facial mask. Whenever I use
Avocado, I just mash it in a bowl and spear it all over my face.
Sometimes, I will put in my hair and on my hands and feet. It is
so good for your skin.

<BR><BR>The best way to include all natural ingredients in your skin
care regimen is to stop relying on consumer goods. In my humble
opinion, the best skin care products can be found in your
kitchen. Oatmeal, apricots, egg whites, and many other everyday
products are better for your skin than most consumer skin care
products. I am not saying you should stop using the products you
use, but to consider supplementing them with some of the truly
natural elements noted above. Your body will thank you for it!
