Natural Skin Care
Monique Eames
We all want to stay looking young forever but do we really know how to care for our skin naturally? For many years natural products have been used to heal and restore our skin from moisture enriched Aloe Vera to the relaxing aroma of Lavender and most cosmetic companies now use these important ingredients in our skin care ranges. But do you know what they are and how they can help to improve your skin? Some of nature's best products are found right outside your door.
Lavender is one of them. This beautifully scented plant has a soothing and calming aroma, perfect for easing the aches & pains of headaches. Lavender also helps to promote the growth of healthy skin cells and contains antibacterial properties. Perfect for the bath, lavender absorbs well into the skin and is commonly used in face and body moisturizers.
Honey has been used for centuries, in fact right back to Cleopatra days. Honey contains skin-replenishing nutrients and is considered humectant (has moisture-holding properties) and is also an excellent antibacterial agent. Because of its versatility, honey can be found in so many different skin care products such as lip balm, body butter, body wash and even just as an antibacterial cream to help ease skin rashes such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
Chamomile is another fantastically versatile plant extract. Chamomile may be used for anti-inflammatory, soothing, anti-itching and antiseptic. It is also considered to be hypoallergenic which means it can be used to calm even the most sensitive of skins. Chamomile may be found in Eye Cream, Eye Make-up Remover, Moisturisers, Shampoo and is even perfect for babies with nappy rash by using the liquid from a brewed teabag.
Aloe Vera is a succulent that was originally found in Africa. The thick gel that is found in the leaves of the Aloe Vera plant is excellent for anti-inflammatory and wound healing. It acts well as a moisturizer and is perfect for soothing burns or irritated skin from rashes. It can be found in body washes, cleansers, moisturizers and also as a gel. If you do get sunburnt, Aloe Vera is perfect for lathering onto the skin to ease the heat and help to prevent your skin from peeling. Though for your skin's sake, it's best not to get sunburnt in the first place!
We have only just touched on the surface of the natural products contained in the skin care products and with so many options available to us these days, it really is worth looking into how you can prevent your skin from aging and taking a little bit of extra time for yourself to develop your own beauty routine. After all everyone needs some time to pamper themselves!
