Skin Cleansers

Most commercial soaps that you will find in a supermarket are harsh and very drying for skin. Pure Argan Oil is great for restoring a level of oil and hydration to repair the drying soap effects but When it comes to better skin a cleansing regime for skin is essential. Luckily you can make a gentle home-made facial cleansers for your skin cleansing.

They will clean your delicate facial skin by removing dead skin cells, excess oil and dissolving dirt and impurities. This is great for skin renewal and is an essential step for using Argan Oil on your skin. If not every day, then at least once or twice a week – men and women.

 

Anti Ageing Milk and Honey Skin Cleanser
Milk and honey is an ancient anti-wrinkle cleanser that dates back to the Pharaohs. There is now some scientific support for this treatment. The milk is rich in lactic acid which cleanses pores and helps get rid of debris from the skin. It also stimulates the production of collagen. Oily, blemish prone skin can benefit from the ex foliating power of alphahydroxy acids (AHA’s) which peel away layers of dead skin cells.

Milk also contains AHA’s so we can use this as part of our cleanser.The honey is rich in humectants which help keep your skin hydrated which in turn increases its elasticity. Massage this into your skin and leave it on for ten minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of whole milk
1 teaspoon of honey for milk

How to:
Combine about a teaspoon of honey (preferably dark honey) with a tablespoon of whole milk. Put the mix in a small bottle and dip it in hot water until the mixture gets warm and the honey can thoroughly mix with the milk by shaking it. Make sure it’s comfortably warm but not scalding. Shake well and apply. Leave on for around ten minutes, then rinse with warm water.

 

Skin Cell Stimulator and Cleanser

Ingredients:
1 ripe fresh Tomato
2 tablespoons Milk
1 tablespoon fresh Lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh Orange juice

How to:
Put all the ingredients in a food blender and blend until a smooth watery liquid/paste.Can be refrigerated for a few days

 

Collagen Boosting

Lactic Acids in Milk also help to stimulate the collagen production in your skin – collagen is what keeps skin firm and supple – so simple Milk contains two of the ingredients of an expensive anti ageing cream. Collagen production is also said to be boosted by infusing as much vitamin anti oxidant into our skin as possible.

This possibly helps explain some of the renown benefits of Argan Oil for skin care. Certainly most of the “magic active ingredients” advertised in commercial products seem to have come from a natural product anyway. Why use a product that says it contains “some” AHA fruit acids when we have the fruit in the first place.

 

Wrinkle Beating Exfoliators

Lemon Juice and Sugar Exfoliator
Lemon juice is rich in citric acid which has strong exfoliating properties. This can also help to get rid of wrinkles. Exfoliating skin removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin, revealing the softer, supple skin beneath. Lemon juice is also rich in anti oxidant vitamin C, which promotes the production of collagen. The sugar contains glycolic acid, a type of alpha-hydroxy acid that helps repair skin damage and remove dead skin cells.

Ingredients:
one teaspoon of sugar
two tablespoons of lemon juice

How to:
Mix the ingredients well then gently massage into your skin avoiding the eye area. Leave ten minutes and rinse with cool water.

Lemon Juice and Baking soda Exfoliator
