One Star Health Herbal Skin Systems



Herbal Skin Systems

Skin care is not a new topic and has been in talked about since ancient times. Herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of skin. Herbal routines have been replaced by synthetic and chemical based routines. The herbal skin system recipes which once used to be common place are not so popular today. This transformation from natural skin treatments to synthetic, can probably be attributed to two things, the fast pace of lives and the big money in cosmetic systems. Even herbal skin system products have been commercialized . These types of herbal skin care products have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life. However, it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for natural and herbal skin care routines.

Aloe Vera, an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples of an herbal skin system product. Freshly extracted Aloe Vera is a natural hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and treating sun burns.

A number of herbs are known to possess cleansing properties. Dandelion, chamomile, lime flowers, and rosemary herbs are a few examples of such cleansers. Their herbal skin care properties get pronounced when they are combined with other herbs like tea.

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 create a good toner.

Tea plays an important part in herbal skin care. Tea extracts are used for treatment of skin that has been damaged by UV rays.

Oils prepared from herbal extracts present another means of herbal skin care. Tea tree oil, Lavender oil and primrose oil are some popular oils used in herbal skin care. Some fruit oils like banana, apple and melon find use in shower gels.

Herbal skin systems are good not only for the routine nourishing of skin but also for treatment of skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis. Most herbal skin care products don’t have any side effects. Most products can be easily made at home. Herbal skin systems are the way to go. However, this does not mean that you totally discard the synthetic products. Some people go to the extent of debating with their dermatologist, if they suggest a synthetic product. You should accept the suggestion from your physician.
