Dry skin! Who hasn’t had dry skin, especially on hands and feet, a few times in their lives? We ALL do . . . and we all jump hoops to fix our skin when it turns dry.
While there are lots of options out there that do help with this condition, PLorigin believes that natural products with no synthetics or chemicals are better for your body and skin. Wholesome products that contain natural plant based ingredients like organic shea and cocoa butters and nourishing oils like coconut, sweet almond, and castor. Then, when adding pure therapeutic essential oils specifically targeted towards healing, soothing, and rejuvenating dry painful skin . . . it’s a win-win for your skin problems.
Let me hit a few high notes with these crazy-good-for-your-skin ingredients that some of you may not know.
Coconut oil is definitely one of the game changers in the PLorigin product line. It hydrates your skin and locks in moisture. It can remove impurities and actually soothes irritated skin. Coconut oil is made up of medium chain fatty acids (which are GOOD) and provide a protective barrier for the skin from environmental toxins that we encounter on an everyday basis.
Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, but wait . . . it also has antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiretroviral, and antiviral properties. This nut oil is fantastic for so many things that your body and skin can benefit from.
With regular use, coconut oil can diminish the signs of aging. You know what I mean, those fine lines and wrinkles that start creeping up on us as we age. It can also improve the texture of your skin; softening and smoothing the skin’s appearance. There is so much more to using coconut oil in your daily skin regimen, but these are some of the key points.
Shea butter is another excellent nourishing ingredient that appears in most of the PLorigin line. This butter is nutrient dense with vitamins A, E, F, K, and essential fatty acids. These nutrients help regenerate skin cells and works well for both dry and oily skin. It also helps protect the skin from UV rays and harmful sunburns and, like coconut oil, creates a protective layer on the skin to help retain water/moisture. Shea butter has collagen boosting properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties that help make it a no-brainer in this line of natural products.
One of nature’s richest moisturizers, cocoa butter is next on the list. It also contains fatty acids that work miracles on dry, flaking, irritated skin. It is an excellent moisturizer than can even out texture and smooth the skin. Cocoa butter, again like the two ingredients above, has anti-aging properties. It is super rich in antioxidants, omega 3 and omega 6 which help improve the skin’s elasticity. It is also a wonderful free radical scavenger and hydrates the skin like a winner.
While many may remember using castor oil as a natural treatment for constipation (it is a powerful laxative), it is also widely used in the beauty industry. Another fatty acid oil, castor is a humectant that helps the skin retain water. It promotes hydration and is a wonderful moisturizer all on its own.
Castor oil can promote healing of the skin and prevent sores from drying out. It can also stimulate tissue growth which builds a barrier between the wound and the environment around it. This barrier may help decrease the risk of an infection.
An excellent anti-inflammatory, castor oil also has antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. It’s all about keeping that skin supple, moisturized, and healthy.
The next heavy hitter is sweet almond oil. Rich in vitamin E, proteins, potassium, monounsaturated fatty acids, and zinc, plus quite a few other vitamins and minerals; sweet almond oil is an excellent ingredient to add in skin care products.
Sweet almond is a hypoallergenic oil that is so gentle and mild, it can be used on babies. Warm it just a little and rub it into your baby’s skin for a wonderful alternative to chemical laden baby creams.
Being rich in vitamin E, which is one of the more dynamic antioxidants known, sweet almond oil can help repair some of the oxidative damage to the collagen layer of your skin. Application of this sweet oil can prevent dehydration by reducing moisture loss from your dermis.
Any one of these butters and oils on their own offer lots of health benefits for your skin, but ALL of them in a skin care product plus soothing, nourishing, healing essential oils that add even more health and wellness benefits . . . PLorigin would like to think that you are now realizing some of the benefits that your skin could reap with this line of skin wellness products.
Why not order a small tin today to see how great your skin can look and feel in as few as a couple days. Dab some salve in the palm of your hands and rub for a few seconds to warm it up, then rub onto your hands, elbows, feet . . . anywhere your skin is dry. Not only will your skin be thanking you, but your nails will, too. All of these natural ingredients are as wonderful for your nails as they are for your skin!
