How You Can Make Botanical Skin Care Work For You to Regain Healthy Skin & Take Years Off Your Face

Read Time:3 Minute, 4 Second

There’s a line in the movie Jurassic Park when the brainy scientist says “nature always finds a way”. Well, it does. For years, people have been putting chemicals on their face in an attempt to get younger or achieve a healthier look. Mostly without success. All along, the answers have really been in natural ingredients. Botanical skin care is not only good for you but if you use a combination of the right ingredients you will rejuvenate your skin, fix any skin health issues and take years off your look.

Not every plant out there is necessarily good. These natural ingredients should be backed up with clinical trials (and not just legend or gentle marketing) before you waste your time with any of them. But many work so well they could have been made by nature specifically to stop aging and give us perpetual health.

Make sure you do some research so you understand which particular ingredients will do the most good for you. There are many botanical skin care products to choose from but some are better than others. Here are a few you should look for.

The best botanical ingredients

Phytessence Wakame comes from a Japanese sea kelp and is a powerful antioxidant that can penetrate down through all seven layers of your skin, fighting free radicals and repairing damaged skin cells. If you had to pick one botanical ingredient over all others, this might be the one. It hydrates, it’s full of nutrients and there is no one ingredient that delivers more antioxidants.

Maracuja passion fruit extract is rich in linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid in your skin) and helps regulate the production of sebum (oil) in your skin. This is now becoming a common ingredient in the very best natural botanical skin care.

The babassu palm is another ingredient you’ll only find in the best botanical skin care products. This palm gives us a natural wax that acts as a moisture barrier so your skin doesn’t dehydrate – but it also doesn’t clog your pores.

For antioxidants there are several botanical skin care ingredients to look out for. Manuka honey is a fantastic source of antioxidants as is grape seed oil.

Botanical oils also bring goodness

Your skin needs other nutrients besides antioxidants though and there a couple of natural botanical oils that are incredible in terms of the health they bring to your skin.

Avocado oil is probably the best. It contains natural vitamin E (absolutely essential for skin health), stimulates the production of collagen (a protein in your skin that gives it strength and firmness) and hydrates through all skin levels.

Olive oil is another one you shouldn’t do without. Of all the plant oils, this one probably has the closest compatibility with human skin. It hydrates and showers your skin with nutrients that allow it to rejuvenate.

These are just a couple of the ingredients you should look for. There are several more that I would consider indicate a top quality botanical skin care product. I’ve written more at my web site. Aloe vera, macadamia, jojoba oil – check out what these ingredients can do for you!

One more quick tip – ingredients are required by regulation to be listed in order of quantity. So when you’re assessing the quality of a product, make sure it has these quality ingredients listed near the top and not the bottom.

Botanical skin care is safe, healthy and if you choose the right product it is tremendously effective. I only use botanical skin care products and I am 100% sold. I enjoy having people tell me how healthy and young my skin is. Please visit my website if you’d like to review my favorites.
