---

There are several benefits of mixing up natural beauty recipes to use in the comfort of your own home. One of the best benefits is that you completely control the ingredients used in your skin care products. You know the ingredients in each product are healthy and safe for your sensitive skin.

Homemade beauty recipes won't break the bank and many ingredients can be found in your kitchen, so making a cleanser, mask, or exfoliating scrub is simple.

Be sure to do a skin test first on the inside of your elbow or behind your ear, as even natural ingredients can cause skin inflammation for some people with sensitive skin.

Easy Beauty Recipes for Sensitive Skin - Natural Exfoliating

Recipe #1 - Mix together two teaspoons of baking soda, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup cornmeal, one Tablespoon pure olive oil, and four to five drops of tea-tree oil. The tea tree oil is optional, and provides natural cleansing but may be too strong for some sensitive skin. Once the ingredients are well blended, gently apply and then rinse with warm water. You can find tea-tree oil at the health food store.

Recipe #2 - Another effective recipe for exfoliating the skin safely is made from oatmeal and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Juice an entire grapefruit. Strain the seeds and pulp. Mix the juice together with 3 or 4 Tablespoons of oatmeal. The consistency should be thick, like a mask or paste. Spread the mixture evenly over the face. Allow it to work for about 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Recipe #3 - Mix together 1 Tablespoon honey and 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal. Spread over facial and neck areas. After 10 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Natural Beauty Recipes for Cleansing

The jojoba oil in the first recipe is a bit more expensive initially, but because you don't need to use much each time, the cost per use is really very inexpensive.

Recipe #1 - Mix together 1-teaspoon jojoba oil, 1-teaspoon fine oatmeal, 1-2 teaspoons of rosewater, and 1-teaspoon milk powder until it becomes a nicely blended paste. Gently spread the mixture over your face using your fingertips. Massage into the skin. Allow it to work for about 10 minutes. Rinse completely with warm water.

Recipe #2 - Mashed fresh fruit is an effective way to cleanse sensitive skin. Use fresh papaya now and then to cleanse your skin. Simply mash it up, spread over your skin, and massage into the skin with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Facial Mask Recipe

Honey is the only ingredient in this natural recipe for toning and tightening skin a few times a week. A double boiler works well for warming up the honey. Use just enough to cover your skin, but in a solid even layer. Spread the warmed honey over your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse completely from the skin using warm water first followed by a cool rinse.

Honey is the ideal natural food ingredient for all skin types. Top-quality honey does tend to be a bit more expensive than other natural beauty recipes ingredients, but using it only a few times a week won't break your skin care budget!

Facial Toning Recipe

Green tea is great for your skin as well as your body! Steep 3 Tablespoons of green tea leaves in 1 cup of distilled water for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the tea to cool and strain. Use the liquid as a skin toner.

Facts About Organic Cosmetic Certification

---

Natural organic beauty and health products are more difficult to find than you think. Even though there are a great deal of products that are labeled "organic" or "natural," the true meaning of these words is often misunderstood and misrepresented by the cosmetic manufacturers. One must understand that the Cosmetic Industry is self-regulated and therefore, can put anything they want on their packaging, even if it is misleading, simply because no one is watching over them. Although there are organic cosmetic certification organizations most US based cosmetic companies refuse to be certified.

On the other hand, we are fortunate that it will not be difficult to find these natural organic products anymore. This is because the BDIH or Bundesverband Deutscher Industrie und Handelsunternehmen has created helpful guidelines that will aid the cosmetic manufacturers in manufacturing only certified organic/natural cosmetic products of highest quality.

The BDIH is the union of German industries and trading companies for health products, personal hygiene products, pharmaceuticals, and food supplements. This association is based in Mannheim, Germany and has coordinated almost 400 manufacturers as well as distributors of cosmetics, nutritional foods, food supplements, medications, etc.

It was in 1996, while working with some top natural cosmetic makers that the BDIH came up with complete guidelines for certified organic and natural cosmetics. And using the guidelines, a private institution had tested over 2,000 products and had published their findings so that consumers will be informed about them.

What are certified organic and/or natural cosmetics?

These cosmetics are mainly for beautification only but they can also provide care for the human body through their ingredients that come from nature. And getting these natural ingredients was made feasible by the readily available natural raw materials.

At any rate, the makers of beauty products that use the organic cosmetic certification logo or the BDIH seal which represents "Certified Natural Cosmetics" only utilize natural raw materials like fats, waxes, oils from plants, essential oils, and herbal extracts from natural or controlled biological cultivation. With these ingredients, you can be sure that the products BDIH certifies are really safe to use.

The criteria

In order to earn the organic cosmetic certification, there are criteria which must be met.

1.There should be transparency as to the kind of ingredients as well as the process used to make the organic cosmetic products. The process must be non-polluting.

2.The product must contain ingredients of natural origin. The whole composition of the organic product must abide by the strict rules and must be meticulously controlled.

3.The use of petrochemical and chemically synthesized materials is totally banned.

Why Are Organic Beauty Products in Demand?

---

There are a number of reasons why we are turning more and more towards organic beauty products in our choice of cosmetics. The main reason is that organic beauty products are much more beneficial to your skin. Basically, what we put on our skin will be absorbed at some point into our bodies. There are far more instances today of asthma and eczema, as an increasing number of genetically modified products make their way onto the market.

Organic skin care products that are made with no synthetic additions are far healthier than those whose ingredients contain pesticides or artificial chemicals. Some skin care products also contain ingredients such as petroleum waxes and genetically modified items. These are not good over the long term when applied directly to the skin.

Additionally, organic beauty products tend to be made with superior ingredients. There are no fillers or fake colours contained in the items and therefore, they have the capacity to last longer. As far as the environment is concerned, we all have a role to play in protecting our climate, and going organic with our beauty regime is an ideal starting point.

In order to ensure that organic beauty products are legitimate, look for the COSMOS-Standard as a point in the right direction. This can be found on genuine organic products including organic hair products as well as organic skin care and organic make up. The Standard has been set up by an international non-profit association to be developed into an internationally recognised guide for natural and organic cosmetic products.

You can also look for the Soil Association certification symbol. This organisation is rigorous about what goes into organic beauty products, especially parabens, which are chemical preservatives.

There are numerous manufacturing companies that cater for the organic beauty market. We are now more aware of what to look for in a beauty product, with genuinely natural ingredients that come from organically farmed sources. With organic farming, no harmful chemicals are used on the grown products, which protects our immediate environment and our health.
