Skin care is not a topic of recent times; it has been in practice since ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of skin.
Modern technology has allowed skin care to transform in a huge manner. Natural skin care treatments have been taken over by chemical and or synthetic based skin care treatments.
Due to these new technologies, natural skin care remedies that were once considered common place, have quickly become obsolete.
This transformation from herbal skin care to synthetic, can probably be attributed to two things – our laziness (or just the fast pace of lives) and the commercialization of skin care.
If fact, even herbal skin care treatments have become mass produced. While this is good in some respect, the fact that these herbal remedies have been diluted with preservatives to increase shelf life is a disappointment. Simply put, these herbal remedies with preservatives are not as potent as their homemade versions.
Recently, there is a movement towards herbal skin care products without the chemical preservatives that add not beneficial value to our health.
Even though we have the knowledge and understanding of the benefits of homemade herbal skin care treatments, the majority of us still opt to purchase products from the commercial market rather than make them ourselves.
Aloe Vera, which is an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples of herbal skin care product.
Freshly extracted aloe Vera is a natural hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and treating sun burns.
Along with Aloe, dandelion, chamomile, and rosemary are also known to possess healing elements. They are considered to be most effective when they are used in combination with various teas.
Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care. Lavender, marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also form good toners.
