 Water is the secret ingredient for daily-fresh skin. Well-moisturized skin is soft and elastic reflects a healthy burn and ages less rapidly. They put off the skin off drying and chapping, therefore slowing the aging process.
Water goes through the body to the surface in a process called "transepidermal water loss" leaving skin pleasantly fleshy and firm. If your organism is lacking in water, the skin's upper layers become dry and fragile. Drinking at least six glasses of water daily and eating fluid-rich fruits and vegetables help regularize dry or oily conditions, and is necessary for preventing your body from stealing its compulsory moisture at the cost of your skin. Besides inside liquid refreshment, skin requires outside water replenishing. Moisturizers or humidifiers attract moisture to the skin's surface and hold it there. Younger skin only wishes light conditioning while older skin needs specific nourishing treatments. A large variety of moisturizers are accessible that range from very cheap to very costly. For instance: vegetable glycerin, jojoba oil, rose water, vitamin E oils, sorbitol (derived from plants), aloe vera, iris and honey. Aloe vera is an effective remedy for skin care. Since ancient times, it has been used efficiently to treat everything from dry skin, burns, insect bites to skin irritations, cuts and abrasions and acne. Mineral oil, used in many skin care products, can dry the skin, block pores, and prevent it from breathing and removing waste. Most moisturizers calm and sit on the surface of the skin, but essential oils, with their good molecular structure, work their way through from the surface to the internal dermis. Mixed with the right amount of base oil, these pure essentials do not block up pores on lubrication. They are light enough to be absorbed impulsively by skin. Use 30 ml (2 tbsp) of base oil and add 6 drops of volatile oil (maximum of 3 different oils) to fit individual needs. (See individual skin type explanation for advice on type of essential oil to use).
