The Benefits of Natural Skincare

Natural Skincare is skincare made with ingredients from nature.  The ingredients in natural skincare products usually include fruits, vegetables, plants, and herbs.  With the right combination of natural ingredients and a consistent skincare routine, natural skincare can be very effective at preventing skin disorders and keeping the skin healthy and youthful. 

Natural skincare is not a new fad.  In fact, the first use of natural skincare dates back over 6,000 years to Ancient Egypt.  The Egyptian women were so obsessed with beauty and their appearance that they discovered the wonderful benefits of using natural oils, plants and herbs on their skin.  They used natural skincare to fight wrinkles, preserve their youth, and rejuvenate their skin.  Egyptians were the first to document use of natural skincare, but the Chinese, Romans, and Greeks quickly followed.

Natural oils used in skincare products are often oils from plants called essential oils.  Most essential oils in natural skincare products are medicinal grade oils that provide healing for a range of issues.  Some of the oils are  anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and even anti-fungal.   Applying essential oils as well as vegetable oils like avocado, olive, and coconut oils to your skin offer the following benefits, which are also the benefits of natural skincare:

• Added skin hydration
• Shrinking pores
• Combating acne
• Smoothing away wrinkles
• Loaded with skin healthy vitamins and nutrients
• Free of harmful chemicals

So, It should come as no surprise that natural skincare is very effective at combating skin issues and maintaining healthy skin.  Natural ingredients are packed with skin healthy vitamins and nutrients that provide the same benefits when applied topically that they would provide if they were ingested.  The difference being that applying natural skincare topically provides quick absorption and immediate benefits to the skin.
