 Herbal skin care



Skin care is not a modern topic; it has been practical since ancient times when herbal skin care was the only way to take care of the skin. However, Skin Care has been significantly transformed. Herbal skin care procedures have been replaced by synthetic/chemical skin care procedures. The once popular herbal skin care recipes are no longer so popular today (and even unknown to many, the population). This transformation of herbal skin care into artificial products is probably attributed to two things–our laziness (or simply the fast pace of life) and the commercialization of skin care. Even herbal skin care products have been marketed. Commercial herbal skin care products should be mixed with preservatives to increase their shelf life, which makes them no less effective than fresh products made at home. However, things are changing rapidly and more and more people are now choosing natural and vegan skin care procedures. No one wants to make them at home. Therefore, the commercial market for herbal skin care products is on the rise.


So, what are these herbs or herbal skin care mechanisms?


Aloe vera, which is an extract of the aloe vera plant, is one of the best examples of a herbal skin care product. Freshly extracted aloe vera is a natural extinguishing spout that helps soothe the skin. It also helps to heal wounds and treat sunburn.


It is known that several herbs possess cleansing properties. Dandelions, chamomile, linden flowers, and Rosemary herbs are some examples of such cleansers. Herbal skin care properties are called when combined with other herbs such as tea.


Antiseptics are another important part of herbal skin care. Lavender, Marigold, thyme, and fennel are good examples of herbs known to have antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water are also good toning agents.


Tea plays an important role in herbal skin care. Tea extracts are used to treat skin damaged by ultraviolet radiation.


Oils prepared from plant extracts offer another means of herbal skin care. Tea tree oil, lavender oil, forage oil, and evening primrose oil are popular oils used in herbal skin care. Some fruit oils (for example, fruit extracts such as banana, apple, and watermelon) are used in shower gels (as a moisturizing mixture)


Homeopathic remedies and aromatherapy are also among the herbal remedies for skin care.


Herbal skin care is excellent not only for routine skin nutrition but also for treating skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. Most herbal skin care products have no side effects (the most important reason to prefer them over synthetic ones). In addition, herbal skin care products can be easily made at home, which makes them even more attractive. So, herbal skin care is the way to go. However, this does not mean that you completely get rid of synthetics. Some people increase the discussion with a dermatologist if he suggests an industrial product. You should accept the fact that some dermatological requests may require the use of clinically proven non-herbal skin care products.
