Your skin is more than just the largest organ your body has, but it is certainly the most visible one. You don’t have to look at your liver or your kidneys, and no one will know about their condition, but you need to present your face to the world every day, so it only makes sense that you keep that skin healthy, clear, beautiful, and lovely looking for as long as possible.
When your skin is healthy and glowing on the outside, then it’s safe to assume that your body is healthy and beautiful on the inside. You don’t need to spend a small fortune on commercially made and chemical filled skin care products when there are dozens of natural herbal remedies that can give your skin plenty of nourishment and fight free radical damage at the same time for pennies a day.
Even if you have skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, burns, scars, scrapes, cuts, or even skin cancer, there is a remedy that will help you look your best, no matter the shape of the skin you are in.
Keep reading. We are going to let you in on the top secret herbs that can have super benefits for your skin and make you look younger and more beautiful than ever before.
1. Burdock Root
One of the greatest things about burdock root is that it is super high in antioxidants. Anti-oxidants kill the free radicals that are floating around your body all the time that can cause damage to us on a cellular level and cause premature aging signs such as wrinkles and dry skin. Burdock is often thought of as a weed in North America but it can produce great results when it comes to those suffering from eczema, acne, and psoriasis. Burdock root is a known anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial. This plant contains quercetin, luteolin, and phenolic acid, all of which are potent antioxidants. You can use burdock root as a blood purifier and often to treat skin problems such as dermatitis, bruises, dandruff, cysts, and boils.
2. Calendula
Sometimes called marigold, calendula is known to both heal and regenerate skin tissue. In studies done with humans, calendula has been found to improve the hydration levels and the firmness of skin. Calendula oil used in a cream form has been shown to be effective in fighting UVB radiation induced alterations of the skin.
3. Nettle
Nettle, when added to cleansers, really deep cleans the pores. There are more than 500 species of nettle grown throughout the world. While it is widely considered just a weed to many people, this plant actually has powerful medicinal and healing compounds. Nettle is super rich in minerals including chlorine, sulphur, magnesium, calcium, potassium, copper, and silica, which are vital to the rejuvenation of cells. Nettle is also an astringent herb, which can help to balance out oily skin. When added to cleansers, it can help to deep clean pores and stop infections. Added to shampoos, it can quickly clear up dry scalp problems and dandruff.
