Notably, natural skin care ingredients have become more and more popular in the beauty industry. And more and more skin care brands are introducing new natural ingredients into their face masks, moisturizers, and other products. However, it can be hard to keep up with which ingredients are good for your face. Especially with new innovations in technology that allow the incorporation of more natural products into skin care. So we’ve researched some of the newest natural ingredients being used in skin care to help you decide what products will be best for your face!
What natural ingredients are good for you?
Papaya
Skin concerns: acne, hyper-pigmentation, dull skin
In particular, papaya is a natural skin care ingredient that is on the rise. While papaya tastes good, it is also good for your skin! Particularly if you suffer from dark circles or hyperpigmentation. Indeed, using a product with papaya on your face helps eliminate hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne. As well green papaya can help your dark circles appear brighter. Additionally, papaya is a very gentle exfoliator, which is what helps fight against acne and hyperpigmentation. Moreover, papaya is packed with AHA as well as vitamin B and C.
Honey
Skin concerns: acne, dry, dull skin
While people have known about honey’s skin benefits for a while, brands seem to keep coming out with more and more honey infused products! Because of honey’s antibacterial nature, it lends itself as a superb skin care ingredient for fighting acne. As well, honey is full of antioxidants that help fight the signs of aging and add moisture back into your skin. Moreover, applying honey products can help your skin appear more glowy and help fade acne scarring! However, it’s important to remember that if you’re going to use honey on your face it should be in it’s raw, unprocessed form. In fact, Manuka honey is the perfect honey for your face if you’re thinking of diy-ing a face mask.
Turmeric
Skin concerns: dull, inflamed skin
As well, turmeric is becoming increasingly popular both as a natural food ingredient and as a natural skin care ingredient. In particular, turmeric is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. So it’s perfect for helping with acne scarring as well as brightening up your skin. Moreover, turmeric can help heal wounds making it good if you suffer from eczema. However, products containing turmeric may stain clothes due to the strong pigment found in this ingredient. But if you’re looking for something that will brighten up your face and reduce inflammation, then turmeric is for you! Especially, if you have dark under eyes, an eye cream with turmeric can brighten them up immediately!
Calendula
Skin concerns: dry, cracked skin
Another new natural ingredient brands are beginning to use is calendula oil. In fact, calendula oil is extracted from the marigold flower. Products that have calendela oil, include petals from the flower. Notably, calendula oil is antifungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. As well it’s highly moisturizing! Additionally, calendula is great at healing wounds. And it’s great if you suffer from eczema for its healing and hydrating properties. What’s more is calendula has been tested to have slight UV protection, which means it’s a great addition if you want to double up on sunscreen! However, if you’re allergic to the marigold flower it would be best to avoid calendula oil since your face might react badly to the product!
Ginseng
Skin concerns: dull, aging skin, dark spots
Finally, a natural skin care ingredient that is massively popular in Korea is ginseng! Indeed, many people in Korea will not only use products infused with ginseng, but also eat it as a dietary supplement. Typically, the ginseng root is harvested as it has grown in the ground for 6 years. And it has anti-inflammatory properties as well as antioxidant properties. In fact, ginseng can help protect you skin from environmental factors such as pollution. Moreover, it can help brighten your skin.
