Natural Herbal Skincare - Part two
Seaweed hydrates the skin
to create a firmer,
less lined apppearance...
This is the second part of an ongoing series that gives you quick insights into the traditional uses of a variety of herbs and natural skin care ingredients.
In this issue we're looking at the skin healing properties of Seaweed and Sage:
Seaweed
Stress of everyday life, fatigue, pollution and bad eating habits all affect the body leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This can result in broken capillaries, loss of firmness, dry skin and more. Seaweed is a natural way to fight back against the ageing effects of the modern environment. Seaweed hydrates the skin to create a firmer, less lined apppearance and its healing qualities gently tackle marks and blemishes.
Highly valued in the most expensive spas, Seaweed is a modern day lifesaver, stimulating and improving blood and lymph circulation, revitalising and firming the skin whilst re-establishing natural moisture levels.
The cleansing properties of Seaweed are favoured by beauty specialists because it is known to nourish, oxygenate and detoxify the skin and improve circulation leading to the reduction in appearance of cellulite. It also tones and soothes the skin and regenerates body tissues, offering a new energy and helps to maintain a youthful appearance.
Sage
If you have oily or blemished skin Sage extracts could come to your rescue. Sage's antiseptic properties help heal existing blemishes whilst its astringent properties remove the excess oils that can cause them. Skin is left clean and toned with few ocurrances of marks and blemishes.
Sage is a praticularly potent herb and its oils and extracts should only be used in moderation. A particularly gentle way to harness the power of sage to help an oily or blemished skin is to apply Sage in a soap, such as The Celtic Herbal Company's natural handmade Sage Soap.
