A lot of people don’t realise that when applying body lotion and creams that the creams do end up in the blood stream. Yes, it’s true; the creams get soaked into the skin and travel all the way through until they reach the bloodstream. So when choosing creams that you are applying onto your skin, you should look for ones that are 100% natural and don’t contain any toxins.
When you next look for body lotion and creams, here are a few ingredients to look out for:
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is used as an antioxidant and has a great property of removing wrinkles and other lines from the skin. That is why it is contained within most of the popular anti wrinkle creams on the market. By applying a cream with Vitamin E as one of the ingredients, you are giving your skin an instant dose of antioxidant. You don’t have to wait for it to go through your bloodstream if you are taking a multivitamin tablet for instance.
Olive Oil
Olive oil has many more uses other than for cooking. It is a great property for hydrating the skin and also replaces dead skin cells. You may have seen it in products you are already using, as it is used in many cosmetic products. You may see OliveM 800 on the ingredients, this is olive oil.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is used in many moisturizing creams. It is natural so doesn’t clog up pores like other products and ingredients can. It hydrates the body without causing any excessive oil or clogging of pores.
Honey
You may or may not know this but honey is antibacterial and antiseptic too. It is used on wounds as it helps to prevent infection. This is why it is used in skin care products because of the rejuvenation factor it has on the skin. It is used in many body lotion and creams.
These are just a small example of ingredients you can look out for when you buy body lotion and creams. Some of the major manufacturers will use them already but often you might find smaller companies use more natural ingredients than the larger ones. So always read the label and check what ingredients are in the product before you buy it.
