With the weather changing from blistering hot summers to dry, freezing winters, your skin may experience some drastic changes. Our skin is very sensitive and needs constant care and attention. It is easy to hide all the acne under layers of makeup, but in the long run, you will realize that this makes the acne worse. More acne breakouts happen due to the harsh chemicals in makeup products. To get a perfect natural, no makeup look it is important to care for your skin on a daily basis.

Some easy and simple do-it-yourself natural skin care routines are:

• Exfoliation is very important for the skin. For people with oily skin, sea salt and almond oil can be used. They can be mixed in equal parts and rubbed on to the skin. People with dry skin and normal skin can use the classic sugar scrub recipe. All you need to do is mix some granulated sugar with coconut oil and scrub your face with it. It will remove all the dead cells, leaving you with a fresh feeling face. Exfoliation can be done once or twice a week.
• Cleansing needs to be done once or twice a day. Some simple natural skin care regimes include mixing coffee powder with milk. This mixture can make your skin radiant and glowing. Also, caffeine has anti-aging and antioxidant properties that help revive the skin.
• To get rid of blemishes, a very simple method can help. Boil some carrots and blend them well. This can be applied to the face for around 25 minutes. Doing this once a week can ensure that the blemishes disappear from the face.
• To get rid of acne, lemon juice can be really effective. Simply cut a lemon and dip it in some honey. Rub this honey-soaked lemon over the area affected by acne. Following this on a regular basis can help reduce acne breakouts. Honey is known to have antibacterial properties which help reduce and heal acne.
• Natural skin care face masks can work wonders and leave our skin feeling soft and supple. A simple mask including yogurt with turmeric can do wonders. Leave this on your skin for 20 minutes. The turmeric could leave a mild color, but this will go away once you cleanse with a face wash.
• Normal skin requires little to no moisturizer. It is, however, important to apply a dab of moisturizer to ensure that the skin stays hydrated throughout the day. Coconut oil or shea butter can be used as a moisturizer. For people with dry skin, both of these must be used. Since dry skin needs moisture, it is essential to follow this step. For people with oily skin, it is important to use a toner. Apple cider vinegar is a great natural toner; use it in a diluted form as it can be very strong.
