Increasingly, consumers are becoming more savvy when it comes to their health, including the products they put on their skin. Greater awareness of commonly used synthetic ingredients and the side effects that can include itchiness, dryness and even skin irritation are just some of the reasons many more are turning to natural alternatives every day.
Looking after your skin with natural oils and extracts high in naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and antioxidants will greatly benefit the skin. Aloe Vera promotes rapid cell regeneration and is a powerful natural moisturiser rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and humectants (attracts moisture to the skin). It is also an antiseptic with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, with exceptional ability to enter the skin, up to four times faster than water. It has been clinically proven that Aloe Vera stimulates cell growth in damaged skin and leaves the skin hydrated and softened. Rich in both vitamins A and B, it contains sources of calcium, choline, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. It is also what is known as a manno-protein, containing 18 different amino acids that are occasionally referred to as wound healing hormones. Beneficial to all skin types, Aloe Vera is commonly used to treat a multitude of different skin conditions such as eczema and burns due to its healing properties - it is soothing and cooling to the skin and has an affect likened to that of aspirin, also combating inflammation.
Of course, eating well is vital to maintaining clear healthy skin, so be sure to include plenty of fresh organic fruit and vegetables in your diet, choose organic produce wherever possible, drink plenty of filtered water to flush toxins from the body, get daily exercise and enjoy fresh air! All of these things will contribute to giving you a fresh, healthy and glowing complexion and a healthier, happier well-being.
