Lemon Peel
Lemon is that one fruit that is blessed with natural healing and soothing properties which we can use, but the amazing thing is that we are also able to take advantage of the benefits of lemon peel. Surprisingly enough, the lemon peel that most of us throw away contains certain enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, which can help us live a much healthier life. In fact, the lemon peel contains as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the actual lemon juice.
Lemon peels help in preventing and fighting skin problems such as wrinkles, acne, pigmentation, and dark spots. The free radicals play a very important role in this process. These are also rich in antioxidants which tend to detoxify the skin to a very great extent. Lemon is rich in pectins, phenols & hydroxycinnamates which are all essential oils that are
useful to your skin. Lemon peel is a great skin enhancer giving you glowing and soft skin after use. Because of the acidic nature of lemon, the acid helps in cleansing and lightening your skin when used to remove the dead skin and stimulate new skin growth.
Lemons are immensely good for treating brown spots, age spots, and freckles. The citric acid contained in lemons helps in bleaching and clarifying the skin. The top layer of your skin is exfoliated by the acids and thus, it helps to fade pigmentation. Direct application of fresh lemon juice on blackheads helps to remove them effectively. The citric acid aids to dissolve the blackhead-causing oils in your skin.
Lingonberry oil
The slightly sour super berry that is dotting the greenery with red in the Finnish wilderness is called lingonberry. Like all Arctic plants, it too develops exceptionally high levels of various active plant compounds that have all kinds of benefits to our skin, metabolism, immune system, and so on. Lingonberries contain A, B, C, E, and K vitamins, fiber that helps digestion, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Lingonberry seed oil improves the skin’s hydration making skin smoother and younger-looking. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in lingonberries help to reduce water loss significantly and many actives in the lingonberry seed oil act as antioxidants, blocking free radicals that can damage the skin. Both functions are crucial in maintaining the skin’s protective barrier which in turn locks the moisture into the skin.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera is perhaps one of the most widely used herbal remedies for topical skin conditions. This is because the gel-like components of the plant are known to heal the skin from a variety of minor ailments. Aloe vera gel absorbs easily, making it ideal for oily skin. However, it can help treat dry skin, too. Consider swapping out your regular moisturizer for aloe after bathing to help seal moisture into your skin. The moisturizing effects of aloe can help alleviate dry, itchy skin associated with eczema. Aloe vera gel may also help alleviate seborrheic dermatitis. While this oily form of eczema is most often found in the scalp, it can also affect parts of your face and behind the ears, too. Due to the anti-inflammatory effects of aloe vera, the gel may help treat inflammatory forms of acne, such as pustules and nodules. Apply the gel with a cotton swab directly to the pimple three times daily.
Glycerin
Glycerin is great for the skin because it acts as a humectant, which is a substance that allows the skin to retain moisture. It can increase skin hydration, relieve dryness, and refresh the skin’s surface. Glycerin also has antimicrobial properties, which means it can protect the skin from harmful microorganisms
Allantoin
Extracted from the root of the comfrey plant, Allantoin is a non-irritating ingredient that soothes and protects the skin. With the ability to help heal the skin and stimulate the growth of new tissue, it’s a great all-rounder for keeping skin at the top of its game.
Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is known to make your skin lighter and brighter. It makes your skin tone a shade lighter and reduces the blemishes and dull spots.
Arbutin
Arbutin is a cosmeceutical that fades hyperpigmentation meaning it works to fade sun spots, age spots, acne scars, and melasma. Plus, arbutin prevents future freckles and hyperpigmentation from developing, even after a sunburn.
Morius Alba
Morus alba (white mulberry) root extract has antioxidant properties, but its main benefit for skin has to do with calming signs of irritation along with its potential to fade the look of discolorations and uneven skin tone.
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic acid/Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it protects skin cells from damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure. It also inhibits melanin production in the skin, which helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and brown spots, even out skin tone, and enhance skin radiance.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may be effective at reducing UV damage in the skin. And vitamin E applied topically may help nourish and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Citric Acid
Citric acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid that’s extracted from citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits, as well as other fruits such as berries. Citric acid is a natural astringent, helping to dry out excess oil and leaving the skin feeling nice and clean. Antioxidants like citric acid can help combat some of that oxidative stress to reveal brighter-looking skin.
