Herbal Skin Care Tips

Skin care is something that we can agree is important to how we look and feel. Choosing the correct skin care is important.В  Is herbal skin care the answer? Let"s take a look.

Skin care is not a topic of recent times; it has been in practice since

ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take

care of skin. However, skin care has transformed in a big way. Herbal

skin care routines have been replaced by synthetic/chemical-based skin

care routines. The herbal skin care recipes which once used to be common

place are not so popular today (and even unknown to a large population).

This transformation from herbal skin care to synthetic, can probably be

attributed to two things рЂ“ our laziness (or just the fast pace of lives)

and the commercialisation of skin care.

Even herbal skin care products

have been commercialised. These commercial herbal skin care products

have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life,

hence making them less effective than the fresh ones made at home. However,

it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for

natural and herbal skin care routines. But still, none want to make them

at home and hence the commercial market of herbal skin care products is

on the rise.

So what are these herbs or herbal skin care mechanisms?

Aloe vera, which is an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples

of herbal skin care product. Freshly extracted aloe vera is a natural

hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and

treating sun burns.В 

A number of herbs are known to possess cleansing properties. Dandelion,

chamomile, lime flowers and rosemary herbs, are a few examples of such

cleansers. Their herbal skin care properties get invoked when they are

combined with other herbs like tea.

Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care. Lavender,

marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to

possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also form

good toners.В 

Tea plays an important part in herbal skin care.В  Tea extracts are used

for treatment of skin that has been damaged by UV radiation.

Oils prepared from herbal extracts present another means of herbal skin

care.В  Tea tree oil, Lavender oil, borage oil and primrose oil are some

popular oils used in herbal skin care.В  Some fruit oils (e.g. extracts

from fruits like banana, apple and melon) find use in shower gels (as a

hydrating mix)

Homeopathic treatments and aromatherapies also come under the umbrella

of herbal skin care remedies.

Herbal skin care is good not only for the routine nourishing of skin but

also for treatment of skin disorders like eczema and psorasis. Most herbal

skin care products donрЂ™t have any side effects (the most important reason

for preferring them over synthetic products) Moreover, herbal skin care

products can be easily made at home, hence making them even more attractive.

So, herbal skin care is the way to go. However, this does not mean that

you totally discard the synthetic products. Some people go to the extent

of debating with their dermatologist, if he/she suggests a synthetic product.

You should accept the fact that some skin orders might need usage of clinically

proven non-herbal skin care products.
