Natural Ways To Keep Your Skin Healthy
Now its not easy keeping your face and your entire body healthy at the same time. Eventually people age and they get wrinkles it’s just part of life. Some women even go to their local stores and buy almost anything that indicates anti aging. But, there are also chemicals in these products that may be harmful for your skin and to the environment.
All these can be eliminated by focusing on nature. In fact, that’s why I use Young Living’s aromatherapy oils during appointments with my clients because these oils are plant based and all natural. Remember, your skin eats so feed it well with naturally active green ingredients. I found this list of some great natural foods on ecofriendlytip.com that you may want to try out.
Papaya
This antioxidant-brimming, Vitamin C-plumped fruit helps fight wrinkles and maintain skin’s supple texture. The multi-tasking fruit even helps increase collagen production, improving skin’s strength and resiliency.
Blueberries
The diminutive berry is power-packed full of age-defying agents. Blueberries contain more than a dozen vitamins and minerals, but are most adored because of the wrinkle-busting antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals they provide. And, yes, frozen are just as nutritious as fresh!
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are more than edible fungi; they have also been shown to have immune-enhancing, cancer-preventing, and anti-inflammatory properties. When incorporated into skincare, the fungus functions as a line and wrinkle-reducing, puffiness-placating, hyperpigmentation-equalizing, and moisture-replenishing ingredient.
Pineapple
Fruit enzymes found in pineapple act to eat away dead skin cells, detoxifying pores and leaving the skin naturally glowing.
Ginseng
Ginseng extract, when ingested, has been shown to energize the mind. When topically taken, the raggedy root stimulates skin’s circulation, conditioning and rejuvenating without irritating. The face is left feeling invigorated and revitalized.
Green Tea
Green tea is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant proven to prevent photo damage, improve elasticity, repair and strengthen the skin, and naturally shield from UV damage. Originating in China more than 4000 years ago, this age-old healing medicinal is still used in modern skincare to pacify the soul and restore the body.
Olive (and olive oil)
A known antioxidant powerhouse, this “good fat” fruit is rich in antioxidants, coenzyme Q10, and Vitamin E, known to fight free radicals and promote cellular energy production without clogging pores.
Aloe Vera
The succulent plant that rampantly grows in desert climates like Southern California and Arizona has long been used as a backyard remedy for cuts, scrapes and burns. Now the sticky stuff residing within its prickly skin has been bottled and infused in beauty products to help accelerate cell growth, balance natural ph levels, and soothe the skin.
