How Do You Know What is a Good Skin Care Product? Mystery is Now Solved
The first thing to look for is Botanicals.Hydralyft If you are not sure what a Botanical is let's talk about it. A botanical is from the word Botany. Botany is the study of plants for simplicity sake. When a good skin care product contains botanicals you know at least one of the ingredients is a plant. Have you ever been to a botanical garden? It is made up of plants, many plants, thousands and thousands of plants that thrive and live in harmony with each other. What does that have to do with good skin care products?
The plant derivative ingredients offer many benefits. Clover for instance is a topical antioxidant. Jojoba oil is used as an emollient and moisturizer. Grapefruit extract is an antioxidant. Avocado oil softens the appearance of the skin. Cucumber extract is a natural cleaner. Cocoa extract helps contour the appearance of the skin. Citrus extract is an acidifier and adjust the PH. Chamomile topically helps soothe skin and internally helps relieve indigestion. Apple extract exfoliates. Aloe Vera extract moisturizes and is an emollient. Papaya Enzyme exfoliates. Sage extract conditions and softens. The list goes on and on. Plants have been used by humans for thousands of years for healing, colors, skin treatments, and food just to name a few. The plants are very important in a good skin care product offering a natural benefit. But, if that was all we needed then we could take an aloe vera plant leaf and snap it in half and rub it on our face and call it good.
What place do vitamins play? I am not talking about the kind of vitamins that you may take internally. Other than being good for you, do you know what a vitamin is, or what role they play in our body? A vitamin is an organic compound. It is the science thing again. Vitamins cannot be made by our body but must be obtained through what we eat or supplement our diet with. Vitamins play a very important role in our cell growth. Vitamins can help with metabolism, protecting, and conditioning our body. The best benefit from certain vitamins is anti-aging. Hopefully, you will never look at a bottle of vitamins the same.
