Here are a few things everyone should know:

1. Moisturize
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule normally present in our body and it is this substance that gives compactness and freshness to the faces of young people. This quality declines progressively with advancing age. One of the main functions of Hyaluronic acid is, in fact, to stimulate the production of collagen which gives firmness and elasticity to the skin.

When our skin is dry and cracked, it is recommended to use creams based on this molecule or to eat foods fortified with it.

Jojoba oil in its chemical composition is very similar to the sebum produced by human skin. Sebum is a substance rich in fatty acid and cholesterol that moisturizes and protects the skin from external factors such as cold, bacteria and smog. We certainly look unwell when our skin is cracked and irritable due to dryness, but this condition can also affect our body’s defenses. To alleviate this condition just massage a few drops of jojoba oil gentily into the skin until completely absorbed. Your skin will feel rejuvenated. Jojoba oil also protects skin from wrinkles.

2. Nourish
Vegetable oils are perhaps the best available nutrients for the skin because they are rich in substances such as vitamins (especially A and E), minerals and especially essential fatty acids , These ingredients are necessary for the proper functioning of our body. These substances, once absorbed into the skin, acts as nourishing emollients. They also improve elasticity, prevent wrinkles and stretch marks.

Argan oil, shea butter and grain seed oil is crucial to strengthen the hydro-lipid film protecting our skin. If this film is thinned or absent, skin becomes cracked and irritated.

3. Relieve
Calendula (or marigold) oil is obtained by macerating flowers in vegetable oil, This oil has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, healing, refreshing and emollient properties. It is also possible to use against redness, inflammation and cracking of the skin.

Chamomile, thanks to its protective action on the mucous membranes and its anti-inflammatory properties, is used in many cosmetics. It relieves congestion and soothes skin irritations.

With a little care, we can nurture our skin without the use of synthetic chemicals, simply by using natural ingredients, fantastic, isn’t it?
