Healthy skin is one of those things that walks the line between beauty and wellness. Healthy, full skin is a sign of beauty, but it’s also a sign of general health. Unhealthy skin can be uncomfortable, it can itch or cause pain, and it can make you feel less confident in your appearance.

If you have sensitive skin, you need to be especially careful about what you put on it, especially for skincare. Here are a few natural remedies that are great for your skin and can help it look healthy.

Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp has a wide variety of uses, and one great way is as a natural skincare ingredient. Hemp seed oil is incredibly good at moisturising and can repair even extremely dry skin. You can find it in an ingredient for creams, or simply get hemp seed oil for skin, so you can apply it directly.

Hemp seed oil is great for hydrating the skin and also has anti-inflammatory properties, so you can use it when your skin is inflamed and irritated. If you get the oil, it absorbs very quickly and without any residue, so it’s perfect for quick application. You can even use it on your hair as a conditioner.

Collagen

As well as putting things on your skin, you can also improve your skincare routine by thinking about what you take into your body. Collagen is what makes our skin more elastic, which is associated with youthful skin. As you get older and your body produces less collagen, you might get wrinkles or skin that isn’t as firm as it was.

But you can add more collagen to your diet and support your skin health. While collagen supplements and powders are an easy way to do this, if you want a natural source of collagen, look no further than thick stocks and broths.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a common natural remedy for skin issues, as it’s a natural humectant. This means that it draws moisture from the environment and into your skin, providing almost instant hydration. So, if you need a quick way to moisturise your skin, aloe vera is a fantastic option.

You can use aloe vera products or even cuttings directly from the plant. It can be a good remedy for sunburn or sun-damaged skin, as it soothes redness and has a cooling effect on your skin.

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet almond oil is sometimes considered nature’s retinol. It contains a lot of vitamin A, which in turn contains retinol. Using sweet almond oil can smooth fine lines in your skin, making it look more youthful.

Sweet almond oil also contains vitamin E and fatty acids that can protect against sun damage and repair sunburnt skin. Some people use sweet almond oil to reduce facial scars or acne scars, because vitamin A and zinc can both contribute to skin healing properties.

Sweet almond oil or products containing it can be a great addition to your facial and body skincare routine, especially if you have sun damage, scarring, fine lines, or stretch marks.
