Herbal skin care

Skin care is not a topic of recent times; it has been in practice since ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of skin. However, skin care has transformed in a big way. Herbal skin care routines have been replaced by synthetic/chemical-based skin care routines. The herbal skin care recipes which once used to be common place are not so popular today (and even unknown to a large population). This transformation from herbal skin care to synthetic, can probably be attributed to two things – our laziness (or just the fast pace of lives) and the commercialisation of skin care. Even herbal skin care products have been commercialised. These commercial herbal skin care products have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life, hence making them less effective than the fresh ones made at home. However, it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for natural and herbal skin care routines. But still, none want to make them at home and hence the commercial market of herbal skin care products is on the rise.

Before we can start to discuss oily skin care, it’s important to understand what causes oily skin first. Put simply, oily skin is a result of excessive production of sebum (which is a naturally produced oily skin substance). As everyone knows, an excess of everything is bad, so this is the same for excessive sebum. When this happens, it will lead to clogging of your skin pores which will result in accumulation of dead cells and this well form pimples/acne. Plus, when you have oily skin, your looks will be spoiled too. So taking care of an oily skin is as important as the skin care for any other type of skin.
