Natural Homemade Moisturizer Recipes



This is the forth part of the series, ‘GOOD SKINCARE NATURALLY’.  This series discusses the various skin types and provides recipes tailored to specific needs.

Among the various skin types, dry skin needs moisturizing most. A rich, nourishing moisturizer that protects the skin is most suitable for dry Vata skin type.


Sensitive skin needs moisturizer support as well. Cooling moisturizers that reduces inflammation is best for heat sensitive ‘Pitta’ skin type. When out in the sun, Pitta skin also requires a moisturizer with sun block capability.


Oily Kapha skin type is the most resistant to the ravages of the elements and premature aging. However, as one ages, there will be areas of dryness that needs lubrication with oil and other areas that can benefit from water-based hydration.
