There are a lot more chemicals in skin care products that are more harmful than advantageous for your skin. Only natural ingredients are the most reliable. Being aware, a lot of people are now trying to avoid the side effects of these synthetic, chemical laden products. More and more people are choosing herbal skin care so as to gift themselves with beautiful skin.
Unfortunately big brand companies are jumping on the bandwagon and labeling their products as natural and herbal when they really arent. Here some ingredients you should look for to know whether you have the real deal.
Active manuka honey should be present in night creams, face masks, and any other skin care treatment. This ingredient stimulates collagen production and the growth of new skin cells, and is more effective than any other type of honey in repairing blemishes and wrinkles. UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) should be contained in the honey for it to have these manuka honey specific healing properties
For centuries, an amazing marine plant called Wakame (Japanese Kelp) has been the Japanese women’s beauty secret. Phytessence Wakame, a concentrated extract from wakame, makes a quick and big difference to your skin and it should be present in herbal skin care products. Penetrating deep into your skin, this ingredient provides skin cells the vitamins and minerals they need as well as preventing the skin from losing hyaluronic acid, which maintains skin smoothness and elasticity.
Another ingredient is the Maracuja, a passion fruit of Portuguese etymological origins. It should be one of the main ingredients listed in all herbal skin care products. It contains an abundance of essential fatty acids known as linoleic acid that softens and smooths skin by keeping under control the sebum levels. At the same time, it also prevents skin from getting too oily or too dry.
Babassu oil, from Brazil, is another great additional ingredient. It is a natural moisturizer extracted from the Babassu palm fruit. Hailing from the Amazon rainforest, this Babassu oil helps to prevent grime and dirt from penetrating into the pores of your skin as well as keeping its natural moisture. It also helps to soothe irritation and inflammation.
Last but certainly not the least, is the Avocado oil. This Avocado oil is a natural moisturizer which is very similar to the skin’s natural oils. It can be found in most herbal skin treatments (the real ones). It reduces oiliness and keeps the skin moisturized by producing collagen.
if you want to start off on the right foot with herbal skin care, look for products that contain the above ingredients. The right combination of products with the right combination of ingredients will give you the dramatic results youre looking for and all without the side effects associated with synthetic chemical ingredients.
