NORMAL SKINNormal skin is the natural state of our skin which is not too dry or too oily. Normal skin needs as much care as any other skin type. Sunblock is essential to all skin types to protect it from sun damage that can lead to skin cancer. All skin types are susceptible to sun damage. It is recommended that natural skin care, using naturally-derived ingredients (such as herbs, roots, essential oils and flowers) combined with naturally occurring carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants and emulsifiers (everything from natural soap to oils to pure water) be the products of choice for your skin. The classic definition of natural skin care is based on using botanically sourced ingredients currently existing in or formed by nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals, and manufactured in such a way to preserve the integrity of the ingredient. As a result of this definition, many people who use natural skin care products, generally make their own products at home from naturally occurring ingredients. While there are many wife's tales surrounding the benefits of certain ingredients, scientific studies have proven that ingredients such as Chamomile, tea tree oil and lavender have demonstrated healing and anti-inflammatory properties when applied topically. Many people use natural skin care recipes to make remedies to care for their skin at home. Many spas and skin care salons now focus on using more naturally derived skin care products. Over the past ten years, several companies have been started to make available completely natural products to the general public.
