How to Moisturize Your Face Naturally
There’s no doubt about it—skin care is a billion-dollar industry. Facial moisturization is a crucial part of your skincare routine, but does loading up your face with all those unnatural chemicals really help? The truth is, with daily use, some chemicals can be absorbed topically and may pose a threat to your health. For example, 1,4-dioxin, a carcinogen, has been found in numerous moisturizing products.
Fortunately, there are viable options for a natural facelift, many of which are affordable and can be found right at home! Many natural moisturizers are highly effective. After just a few days of use, you might be tempted to throw away the chemically processed stuff and go all natural!
Here are some natural moisturizers to try:
Oil
Just about any edible oil, such as olive oil, can be used as a facial moisturizer. While applying oil to your face may seem strange, this substance works well as a natural emollient and absorbs quickly. Coconut, olive, almond, and jojoba oils are all great options.
Shea Butter
Shea butter comes from the fat extracted from the fruit of a shea tree. It has a creamy yellow color and is loaded with beneficial antioxidants, which is just what your face needs!
Aloe Vera
An ancient remedy, aloe vera leaf has anti-inflammatory and cooling properties, making it ideal for treating sunburns. The soothing gel from the aloe vera plant can also quickly calm an irritated face.
Dermapen: A Natural Facial Rejuvenation Treatment in Cincinnati
Otherwise known as a vampire facelift, a Dermapen is a microneedling cosmetic tool that creates tiny punctures on your face. These microscopic “injuries” trigger natural healing by signaling your body to increase collagen production. This process can help improve scars, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
However, it can be challenging to find a physician who understands this cosmetic tool’s benefits or how to use it correctly. At Blatman Health and Wellness Center, we’re proud to be a skilled provider of the Dermapen treatment in the Cincinnati area. Contact our office to learn more about this tool and how it can complement your natural skin care regimen.
