Hyaluronic Acid - Naturally found in the body, hyaluronic acids plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication, and cellular function. It is able to hold more water than any other natural substance, making it one of the best moisturizers for all skin types. These hydrating properties result in increased smoothness, softening and a decrease in wrinkles. The soothing, calming properties of hyaluronic acid have been shown to reduce dryness, itching, and burning in irritated skin and assist in healing.
Ginger invigorates, and oil soothes.
Try this double dose for dry skin.
2-inch piece of fresh ginger
2 teaspoons light sesame oil
2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil
2 teaspoons vitamin E oil
½ cup cocoa butter
Preheat oven on lowest setting. Finely grate the ginger just enough so that you have about an 1/8 teaspoon of ginger "juice." To obtain the juice, squeeze the freshly grated ginger over a small bowl. Place the ingredients (including the ginger) in a glass container and heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place. You can add a few drops of orange or other essential oil for a nice twist.
Ginger is being added as an ingredient to more commercial skin care products to improve the skin. Ginger has been used in home remedies for many conditions for centuries. People put fresh ginger juice on burns to heal them. Ginger can also improve the appearance of many scars. One way to get ginger juice is by grating ginger and then squeezing the juice out. Another way to put ginger juice on the skin is by rubbing a fresh slice of ginger on the skin. For skin repair rub the ginger on the skin two to three times a day and use a fresh slice of ginger every time. Use care in rubbing the ginger on the skin and don't press too hard. Scars may fade and show signs of healing within 6 to 12 weeks.
