Washcloths and loofahs can damage delicate facial skin and are known to harbor bacteria. It is recommended that you use a soft cloth designed specifically for face.

After your skin is clean, next step is to use a toner. Using a cleanser on your face will raise your pH level, even if you use a cleanser that is pH balanced. It is important to use a toner formulated to return acid mantle (a natural layer that covers skin) to its normal level and help rebalance skin after washing.

Using a toner reduces pore size, so that fewer pollutants are absorbed into skin. Look for toners that contain aloe vera. Aloe vera is one of best skin nutrients available and you can use pure aloe vera juice (found in most health food stores), poured onto a cotton cosmetic round. Keep it in refrigerator for an invigorating experience! Aloe vera has an exceptional ability to penetrate skin. It is absorbed into skin four times faster than water and has a pH level nearly identical to that of skin.

If your skin is especially oily, an astringent (similar to a toner, but with a high alcohol content) can help absorb excess oil and kill bacteria. Extracts and essential oils including camphor, menthol, tea tree, and citrus also help control oil.

Their Vitamin C Serum is formulated with 12% fresh-dried, naturally-derived L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that becomes active only when you are ready to use it. Other vitamin C skin care products are in liquid form, often derivatives of vitamin C, and require additional ingredients (and preservatives) to attempt to stabilize liquid. These ingredients can dilute potency of vitamin C plus, given that it is already premixed vitamin begins breaking down from time it is formulated to time you purchase product and use it.

Some synthetic progestins commonly used for contraception have also been associated with a decrease in libido.

It's because of complexity and scope of organic causes of female sexual health problems that drug companies haven't been successful in producing female product equivalent to male 'Viagra'.

Female sexual health problems have to studied using a natural approach from many different areas.

Recovering Your Sex Life & Eliminating Female Sexual Health Problems:

If you think that your female sexual health problem is psychological and you can't determine root cause or just aren't sure how to deal with it, then you should seek professional help.

Talk with your physician or other female sexual health professional to find a good sex therapist in your area that could help you.

Other than unique devices such as vibrators that help to arouse you sexually, there are other products, although not very effective, that have been approved for use by women suffering from female sexual health problems.

These are for most part suction devices designed to be placed over your clitoris to try to help force blood into general area and to engorge clitoris in readiness for sexual activity.

Not exactly a very effective or sexually exciting thing to do.

Although trials are underway with drugs to help eliminate female sexual health problems, current feedback is not promising.

This is understandable because although there are some similarities in women's sexuality as in men, such as need for clitoris (as with penis) to become engorged with blood in order to reach orgasm.

One problem however is that this is just one function of female sexual response. Nonetheless you can be sure that research will continue and there is no doubt that at some time an approved drug for female sexual health problems will be released.
