Natural skin care products can help you get out of bed in the morning and can help you maintain young-looking skin, an expert has said.

Jenn Brockman, a natural beauty expert, told internet advice site Examiner that exfoliation is essential to stimulate new skin cell growth and remove the appearance of old, dull looking skin.

Natural skin care products, like Weleda's Birch Body Scrub, help cell renewal without disturbing the natural balance of the skin.

Ms Brockman gave her own recipe for a natural exfoliating facial scrub containing sugar, citrus juice and coffee, which she explained is great to use in the morning to help you wake up.

The citrus juice is particularly good at treating age spots and tightening the skin, while using the scrub on your lips can help keep them kissable, she continued.

Using natural beauty products is not just an effective way to look after your body, but can also save you money, with expert Janey Lee Grace recently telling the Daily Mail that she spends only £40 a year on natural makeup.
