I have discovered some important information about medicinal herbs for skin and their use in herbal skin care products and I wanted to share it with you.
First, medicinal herbs have been in use for centuries.
They have proven to be a safe and effective way to treat a variety of skin problems including: dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and acne.
Men and woman who seek to turn back the clock and reduce the visible signs of aging such as dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles have also relied on these medicinal herbs for skin.
Medicinal herbs for skin provide the skin with the essential vitamins and antioxidants that it needs to stay healthy.
The cells that make up the skin need the B complex vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium and sodium to give them nourishment.
Antioxidants found in herbal skin care products, like coenzymeQ10 help protect the skin from the dangerous radiation of the sun that we are exposed to every day.
Not all skin products are good for you.
If you look at the labels of the most common lotions and creams that claim they can help heal damaged skin and ease the discomfort of dry, itchy skin you might find these ingredients: alcohol, mineral oil, DEA (dienthanolamine) and phenol carbolic acid.
These are all substances that may worsen your skin condition, increase the occurrence of acne or lead to serious health problems (in high concentrations over a period of time).
Herbal skin care products often do not contain these harmful substances.
There are different types of medicinal herbs for skin and herbal skin care products.
Some are used to heal dry, damaged skin.
The best of these herbal skin care products will contain a special variety of sea kelp found only in the Sea of Japan.
This sea kelp, called Wakame, is rich in all the nutrients that your skin needs to heal and remain healthy.
Another ingredient is allantoin (a natural compound found in some herbs).
Allantoin restores damaged skin to its healthy state.
Medicinal herbs for skin combined with antioxidants like coenzymeQ10 and functional keratin help mature adults (like me) look younger.
They work to restore the collagen that we lose as we grow older.
This helps reduce or even remove the appearance of wrinkles and lines on our face.
These substances also help clear up the dark circles that we often find forming under our eyes.
People who want to lighten up their skin color should look for nut grass on the label of products that claim that they contain medicinal herbal extracts.
This natural herb really works.
Remember, when looking for medicinal herbs for the skin, the product should contain Wakame and allantoin if you want to heal damaged skin.
If you are searching for a way to turn back time and return your skin to its former, younger looking self then you should look for a product that contains conenzymeQ10 and keratin.
If you want herbal skin care products that effectively lighten your skin color, you should read the label and find nut grass among the ingredients.
Finally, you will want to avoid lotions or creams that contain alcohol, mineral oil, DEA or phenol carbolic acid on the labels.
These substances can cause skin problems to worsen or pose a serious health risk.
