Essential Skin Care Accessories and Personal Care Products

by Xavier Thomasa

Daily personal care regimens should be easy and simple to do. Here are some essentials that help simplify your beauty routine so you can care for your skin and hair with ease.

Essential Skin-Care Products

Cleansing, toning and moisturizing should be a part of your daily skin routine. Select cleansing, toning and moisturizing products based on your skin type. Try to look for products made with organic and natural ingredients. Another idea is to make DIY skin care products at home. Moisturizing body lotions can be made at home with natural substances like beeswax.

Essential Skin-Care Accessories

Along with cleaning, toning and moisturizing, scrubbing is an important aspect of skin. Skin-care accessories such as body brushes and wash cloths help to exfoliate and clear dead skin cells. Choose brushes, loofahs and sponges made from natural fibers like jute or coconut as they are great for the skin.
Other skin-care accessories that are essential include facial tissues. Choose tissues infused with essential oils like tea tree oil. These tissues are excellent for on-the-go skin-care. They clean surface impurities and help to blot excess oil.

An eye mask is also a helpful skin care accessory for common problems such as puffy, tired eyes. These masks contain gel-based substances and they can be cooled or warmed. Pop in the fridge for cooling or soak in hot water for warming.

Essential Personal Care Products

Protecting skin against UVA and UVB rays is the foundation of great skin-care. Opt for sunscreen with adequate SPF protections such as SPF 30 and higher. For sunscreen to be effective, apply it 30 minutes before you step out in the sun. Sunscreens with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are great choices as they deflect the sun's rays.

Choose these personal care products based on your lifestyle. If you'll be working in the yard, choose waterproof sunscreen. For people with busy lifestyles, two-in-one products like body lotions with SPF protection are excellent choices.

Look for personal care products like shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant free from harsh substances like parabens, sulfates, phthalates and heavy metals. The internet is a great resource to find organic, all-natural and environmentally-friendly products. Browsing online also allows you to read reviews, compare products and make better choices.
