Are these ingredients the answer to naturally glowy skin?

When it comes to food and drink, our bodies benefit from and more readily accept those that occur naturally. (Read: water, fruit and vegetables.) The same goes for skin care. Apply a product that contains ingredients of a natural origin and it’s less likely to irritate the skin, and more likely to penetrate and nourish the cells, promoting healthier skin.

But what natural ingredients should one employ when it’s hydrated, glowy skin you’re after? Or if you wish to correct your dry, dull and lacklustre skin? Well, there are many, but today we’re focusing on three: organic aloe vera, organic argan oil and chamomile.

SKIN CARE BENEFITS OF ORGANIC ALOE VERA
This cactus plant is wonderful when it comes to soothing burns and sunburn, but its glorious talents go beyond healing skin wounds and inflammations.  Highly nourishing, it can help reduce scarring, stimulate cell growth and heal dry, cracked skin. Aloe vera is also high in vitamins E and C, and can lighten dark spots and pigmentation, promoting a clear, glowy complexion. It acts as a natural barrier on the skin too, protecting it from external ageing factors such as toxins and pollution.

SKIN CARE BENEFITS OF ORGANIC ARGAN OIL
Argan oil is well known for it’s nourishing abilities when it comes to hair, but it’s ultra-hydrating for the skin as well. Extracted from the kernels of an Argan tree, this ingredient has been used for centuries, and is rich in vitamin E. Also high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, it not only provides the skin with a natural protective barrier, but protection against free radicals, too. It is also a natural antioxidant, and leaves the skin feeling smooth and healthy.

SKIN CARE BENEFITS OF CHAMOMILE
As a tea, chamomile is deeply soothing for the stomach. As a skin care ingredient, it is the ultimate healer, as it reduces inflammations and irritations, making it perfect for sensitive or tender skin. It’s also wonderfully refreshing and purifying, so it is a fantastic addition to cleansers and toners.
