The idea of natural herbal skin care can be misleading at times. There is no doubt that natural herbal ingredients are important in the skin care products you use. However, just because something is herbal doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be effective.
The process that many herbal ingredients go through to become part of skin creams and lotions often leaves little to none of the original qualities found in the herb. Because of this, it is incredibly important to understand the scientific research behind any of the natural herbal skin care ingredients used in the products you use.
Natural herbal skin care should be rich in natural oils that have been shown to be beneficial for the skin. A couple of my favorites are shea butter and avocado oil. These wonderful moisturizers are very similar to the oils produced by the skin and are therefore easily absorbed without leaving the skin feeling greasy.
They are also loaded with nutrients that help heal the skin while building healthy tissue in the background. Shea butter has been shown to heal blemishes and small cuts in the skin while diminishing wrinkles.
Avocado oil contains very high levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids that are essential for developing healthy skin. It has even been shown in recent studies to help increase collagen and elastin production.
Natural herbal skin care it must also address the skin’s need for antioxidants. Antioxidants are natural substances found throughout the body that fight free radicals. Free radical damage can lead to dry, wrinkled skin, much of which can be cured with a skin cream that includes antioxidants.
An all-natural skincare ingredient called Nano-lipobelle H Q10 contains high levels of two well-known antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 and natural vitamin E. The CoQ10 in this ingredient is in a nanoemulsion form so it can penetrate through many layers of skin.
These are the types of ingredients to look for in natural herbal skin care products. Remember, just because something claims to be herbal doesn’t necessarily mean it’s beneficial. Plant-based moisturizers like avocado oil and shea butter, combined with powerful antioxidants like Nano-lipobelle H Q10, will treat your skin gently and effectively, giving you the results you want.
