From the beginning of time, herbalists have conducted many studies and research on the effectiveness of herbs. Some of the best skin care contains medicinal herbs. There are no unpleasant side effects or any adverse health effects, caused by the use of herbs, like there are in most skin care products out there. Most of the popular brands, on the market today, are infested with harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients.

The big trend in recent years has been toward all natural, herbal and organic cosmetics and skin care products. Chemicals are a thing of the past in skin care. They are dangerous and link to the production of cancer, kidney and liver damage and many more problems that just is not worth taking the chance on.

Medicinal herbs for skin are the best choice when it comes to you and your skin. They are safer than pharmaceuticals because they are natural.

Some of the most popular companies are changing their formulas and claiming that their products are in the same category as all “go green” cosmetics and skincare. This is producing a lot of misleading claims with this new trend. If you do a little research you will be surprised to find that the products may only have one or two natural and herbal ingredients however, they may not have enough of them to actually work. Also, they are still including ingredients such as parabens and alcohols. (Parabens are used as a preservative to lengthen shelf life of products which can lead to cancer. Alcohols dry the skin out and strips away skin’s natural acid mantle, making the skin weaker against bacteria and viruses.) Therefore, the products are not natural, herbal nor are they organic at all.

Your skin deserves the best there is out there and medicinal herbs are the best to use for skin care. Natural is the way to go. There are safer to user and very much effective. Here are some ingredients to look for.

AVOCADO OIL

Avocado oil is an excellent moisturizer for very dry and mature skin. It is rich in fatty acids which makes it a popular ingredient in natural anti aging products. It also helps decrease age spots and helps reverse skin damage brought about by sun exposure.

SHEA BUTTER

Shea butter is ideal as an anti aging ingredient because of its ability to penetrate deep into the skin to restore firmness and elasticity. It is also rich in antioxidants like vitamin A and E to prevent skin damage caused by circulating free radicals. Shea butter also helps even out skin tone and provides protection against the UV rays of the sun.

ALOE VERA

 

Aloe vera is one of the best herbs for the skin. It contains minerals, amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes that are necessary for healthy skin. It has a calming effect on the skin and it promotes proper blood circulation. It is a common ingredient in products for wrinkles, aging, and acne.
