Is there truth behind botanicals in skin care products? Are these products really worth the little bit extra? As an esthetician who specializes in anti-aging and acne skin care and owner of Tahitian Blue skin care products, I personally formulate my products with as many botanicals as I can. Why?
Botanical ingredients in skin care have many healing properties and are a wonderful addition to any skin care product. The skin care industry knows this fact very well. By wide profit margins, the skin care product market share is driven by this necessary trend which is why botanical ingredients are now front and center on every product label you see advertised. They describe which botanical or Superfood ingredient is formulated into that specific product holding the key to your skin care success. Botanicals have become so trending that advertising them has become something of an exotic flare. These trending key words that now describe botanicals are Pro-Vitamins, Skin Surfing Anti-Oxidants, Skin Fighting Free Radicals, Superfoods For Your Skin and well you get the picture. Bottom line is, it's all true.
As a consumer do you want assurance the skin care products you are buying will give you the efficacy you are looking for? The answer is yes. Buying products formulated with botanical ingredients are a win every time. When you purchase products that are infused with botanicals you are getting what your skin needs and much more. Yes, they fight free radicals that are up to no good. Yes, they create a healthy environment for your skin. Yes, your skin will look more radiant and you will look and feel better about yourself. Yes, they are worth it!!!
As you shop for skin care you will be shopping for your specific skin care need. Maybe your goal is anti-aging or maybe it's acne care? Whatever your skin care desires are these Pro-Vitamins will put you on the fast track to achieve the look you desire. While there are benefits to your body and skin when you ingest these Superfoods rich in anti-oxidants it pales in comparison when applied directly onto the skin. When topically applied the results of a quality product should be immediate and powerful. This is what I love most about the botanicals I use in my skin care product line. The proof is in the mirror. What makes you look good feels good. What gets you noticed by others, makes you feel even better.
