My very dry skin cleared up (with the help of coconut oil), and everything started looking smoother and, well, glow. Instead of soap, I started using honey face wash at night and this homemade anti-aging daily cleanser in the morning to exfoliate and plump the skin—the one area where plumping is a good thing!
How to Naturally Nourish Dry Skin
This homemade cleanser is chock full of natural ingredients to soothe skin of all types. Almonds and powdered rice polish skin while dry whole milk plumps fine lines. All in all, it will leave your skin feeling nourished, hydrated, and squeaky clean.
Here’s how it works:
Ground almond benefits
Finely ground almonds gently exfoliate, which is the key to getting rid of dead skin cells and blocked pores. Almonds are also full of natural oils that provide vitamins A and E to your skin .
Vitamin E is one of the most commonly referenced nutrients for skin health, and with good reason. Not only does vitamin E fight free radicals, but it helps to improve the skin barrier and protects against UV photodamage . You’ll also combat wrinkles and premature aging with vitamin E, thanks to all those antioxidant scavengers .
Milk powder benefits
Lipids, the naturally occurring fats found in milk, replenish lost moisture, keeping skin hydrated. Thanks to its high lipid content, milk is also rich in fat-soluble vitamins (specifically A, D, E, and K) and essential fatty acids that help to nourish and heal the skin . Milk is a natural source of lactic acid, which provides a perfect source of gentle, yet effective exfoliation.
Ground rice benefits
You may have already heard about the benefits of rice water for skin, but I’m personally convinced that brown rice flour is one of the best-kept beauty secrets around. Asian women have used ground rice powder as an anti-aging daily cleanser for ages to smooth complexions, lighten skin discolorations, and reduce wrinkles. Read More………………
