How do you determine what natural skin care products to use or how to decide what is best for your skin type?
Fortunately for us, Tina, an aesthetic practitioner for 23 years at Pebu, (Pebu means skin in the Korean language) has provided healthy guidelines on what to look for and how to go the natural route without spending a fortune.
“Think how skin is the largest organ of the body and therefore should be cleansed at least twice a day. Also think as if your skin is a beautiful garden that needs to be nourished with food and water and the results will be vibrant, dewy, bloomed, rose petals”.

Healthy Hydration Is A Must
Hyaluronic Serum: There is a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging. In fact, hyaluronic acid has been promoted as a “fountain of youth.
How does it work: Hyaluronic acid works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. In addition, it might affect the way the body responds to injury.
Treatments For Healthy Skin
Hyalluronic Acid: Make the time to spray your skin with hyaluronic acid spray and consider using moisturizer that contain hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.
Protective C : Using liquid vitamin C everyday protects the skin from the sun and free radical damage. Best to use in the mornings apply first then followed by a moisturizer cream or serum.
Skin Sun Care: Use sun-block that contains me zinc oxide to prevent sun damage. Remember to reapply every two hours if you’re in direct sunlight.

Facial treatments should be done maybe every 6 to 8 weeks. If you are on a budget twice a year.
Facials should consist of cleansing (deep pore cleansing) of extractions, analyzing the skin and treating the skin of its problems, whether sun damage or dehydration.
Facial treatments with natural skin care products such as vitamin C facials are very beneficial for anti-aging and sun damage. Vitamin C facials also benefit from acne scars. Hyaluronic facials are very beneficial for loss of water in the skin or dry dehydrated skin
A good facial massage should include aromatherapy oils and a nice hydrating mask to treat the skin. Your skin is like a garden, a nourishing, hydration treatment for the skin should be complete with lots of love and water.

Hyaluronic acid, moisturizer that contain hyaluronic acid
Good eye cream
Good sunblock that has zinc oxides
