When it comes to the battle between
natural and synthetic skincare products for teenagers, it may be safe to say
that it would be a landslide in favor of the natural product.
As to speculations, people say that
there are a handful of side effects that come with the synthetic remedy for
skincare, hence the switch or patriotism with the natural remedy.
There are different kinds of natural
skincare products out there. Most of the time, these natural products do not
only support the skin but it also has other functions beneficial to the body.
This short article will talk about
three of the best natural skin treatments available.
Citronella
Oil
The grass where you can extract
citronella oil is native to Java and Sri Lanka.
It is popular as an insect repellent
but it has many other uses.
To the skin, what it does is to
soften it. This means that applying citronella oil will not only keep those
insects away but it can also help the skin stay soft.
The citronella oil also has the
capacity to control oily skin and help in excessive perspiration which usually
happens to teenagers. This is why this oil can also be used as a deodorant.
Precaution however must be taken
when using this substance against sensitive skin.
There are cases that when the skin
is very sensitive, irritations might happen.
Hence, when you suspect that you
have sensitive skin, then you must test it first with a very small amount
before going all the way.
Pili or Elemi Oil
This oil is similar to the one
previously discussed in a way that it can also be found in Asia, specifically
in the islands of the Philippines.
It is taken from a tree where
locally is known as Pili. It is a little spicy so extra care should be taken
when directly applying to the skin.
Most of the time, the application to
the skin is not direct but instead, it is applied by mixing it to massage oil
or to bath soap.
The results will be the rejuvenation
of the skin.
Sometimes, it can also be used for
skin infections since it has a property of being antiseptic.
Just like citronella oil, elemi oil
also reacts to very sensitive skin. So again, caution when applying must be
strictly imposed.
Puchaput
or Patchouli Oil
This oil is indigenous only in India
and Malaysia, again, making it an Asian oil.
It has a lot of uses but the benefit
for the skin is the most popular.
What it does to the skin is to
rejuvenate it by regenerating the skin cells, making you appear younger and
more beautiful.
The patchouli oil, known locally as
the puchaput oil, is also good in wounds. It can heal wounds fast and it is
also remarkable in a way that the wound healed will not leave so much for a
scar.
There are many other natural oils
that have good benefits for the skin.
They are effective and relatively
safe to use because it’s natural.
However, just like what is discussed
above, always be careful when you have very sensitive skin.
