Positive aspects of using natural cosmetics
Gentle and safe for all skin types:
Natural ingredients are suitable for all skin types and can significantly help with sensitive skin. You can use a lot of home remedies, like oatmeal, avocado, and olive oil, to achieve a calming effect on your skin. Essential oils, on the other hand, are highly concentrated and need to be diluted before use and are perfect for their therapeutic properties.
A healthier skin:
To nourish our skin and help with skin elasticity, we need to give it vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish and protect the skin. All of these can be found in natural ingredients. For example, vitamin C and leafy greens can help to boost collagen production, promote skin elasticity, and protect against environmental damage. Therefore vitamin C is an essential ingredient for natural cosmetics when rejuvenation is wished.
Essential oils with anti-aging properties:
Some essential oils can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promote collagen production, and improve skin texture. Our favorite essential oils for skin rejuvenation are frankincense, sandalwood, geranium, neroli, and ylang-ylang. However, each person is unique and reacts differently to different oils. It is, therefore, important to try them out to figure out which essential oil is most suitable for you. But the most well-known essential oil for skin rejuvenation is frankincense.
Healing properties of essential oils:
Essential oils also contain healing properties that can help to soothe and heal damaged or sensitive skin. For example, they have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties or can help balance hormones and the oil production on your skin. This can significantly benefit those with acne-prone or damaged skin due to sun exposure and other environmental factors.
Natures healing power
Natural ingredients contain several benefits for healthy skin. They moisturize, hydrate and protect or soothe the skin. All we need for a healthy skin can be found in nature and we believe that often times natural ingredients are more effective than expensive and synthetic skin care products.
Environmentally friendly:
Only natural and organic ingredients are used in natural cosmetics, making them perfect for your skin but also for the environment. They are mostly also biodegradable reducing our footprints on this earth.
