Natural Skin Care Remedies - Avocado Is The Glue That Holds The Body Together

What’s so important about collagen ?

Our skin is mainly made up of collagen –mainly 80% of the dry weight of the skin is made of collagen. It is the main structural protein found throughout our body. Collagen provides the strength our tissues and organs need while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil.

Collagen works hand in hand with elastin in supporting the body’s tissues. It gives the body tissues form and provides firmness and strength. Elastin gives the same body tissues much needed flexibility.  Some people refer to collagen as the “glue that holds the body together”

.

The goal in natural skin care skin rejuvenation is to have a treatment that stimulates new collagen development. Any collagen cream claiming to give immediate results will not be long lasting.  Increasing collagen does not happen overnight as it takes time for a substance to bond with your skin naturally.

It has been scientifically proven that avocado oil stimulates an increase in  the amount of  soluble collagen in the dermis layer of the skin.

 

Although avocado oil is officially a vegetable oil, it is really a fruit because it has a stone.

Avocado oil penetrates into deep skin tissue. It enriches, nourishes and revitalizes the skin. The oil is rich in vitamin A, D and E.  The oil contains proteins, lecithin and amino acids.

Avocado Oil is  highly therapeutic and is said to have regenerating properties. This oil is ideal for mature and dry skin, or for sensitive and problem skin.

   It also relieves the dryness and itching of psoriasis, eczema and other skin ailments. It is very useful when treating sun, climate or chemical damaged skin that is dehydrated or undernourished.  Avocado oil is very high in nutritional value and will help keep your skin healthy.

 And it stimulates collagen production.

Banana and Honey Natural Skin Care Recipes

NATURAL SKIN CARE: - THE BEST IN BANANA AND HONEY

One of my very, very favorite natural skin care ingredient is banana.  There is nothing that makes your skin look super -radiant quicker than a banana honey mask.

So what’s so great about banana and honey?

Let’s start with the benefits of the banana.  Bananas contain vitamin C which helps in deep cleansing of the skin.  It also helps in preventing inflammatory diseases. The banana peel helps in healing wounds , scars and blemishes. The banana peel is great for deep cleansing and contains essential oils to help moisturize and nourish the skin. Banana skin can also be used to exfoliate dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria in the skin.

The antioxidants in banana helps in removing and neutralizing the bad effects of free radials.   

Bananas help in soothing the skin from damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun, and pollutants, and nourishes the skin with potassium and calcium.

Banana can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles. They help diminish their appearance and prevent new lines from forming. The vitamin C and other antioxidants in banana help increase circulation in the skin and boost collagen production.

Bananas are effective in the treatment of blemishes. The potassium in the banana suffocates the bacteria in the cells helping blemishes heal quicker. Bananas are also effective in treating Eczema and Psoriasis.

Okay, so you see the benefits of banana in skin care. Now, what’s the benefit of honey ?

As impressive as banana is in natural skin care, honey is it’s equal. 

Honey’s natural antioxidants and anti-microbial properties help protect the skin from damaging UV rays, and supports the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin.  

Honey is loaded with helpful, natural vitamin B1, B2, B5, B6 and C. It’s natural minerals include magnesium, potassium, sodium chlorine, sulfur, iron, phosphate, copper, iodine and zinc.

Honey is also used in the treatment of minor acne.

Honey moisturizes the skin. It is a natural humectant.  A humectant is an item or substance that attracts moisture and keeps it locked inside. Even people with oily skin can benefit from honey.

Honey also promotes wound healing. It can prevent and heal infection due to its anti- microbial properties.

Put the two together and you have a  powerful, natural  anti-aging solution that will produce beautiful results at any age.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN NATURAL SKIN CARE

One of the hottest natural additives today that is now being added into everything from hand sanitizers to laundry soap is, ironically, something that has already been used for centuries. This substance is the Aloe Vera plant.

Most americans keep the aloe vera plant in their homes to aid in soothing burns and healing cuts. But what many people don't know is that aloe vera's healing properties go way beyond that.  This miracle plant can also help control acne, psoriasis, frostbite and blisters and help maintain healthy beautiful skin.

Also vera also contains a large amount of phytosterols,  which are plant lipids that help improve skin elasticity eliminating he effects of scarring and wrinkles.  Aloe vera gel also has moisturizing properties and also possesses the ability to oxygenate the skin tissue helping it heal faster. This little plant also contains 200 other active biological agents including gycerol, Vitamin E and Zinc.
