skincare? The outermost layer of our skin is known as the
epidermis. And new cells are continuously formed in the innermost
layer of the epidermis. These cells, over a period of about 27
days, travel up to the outermost layer of our skin, dying slowly;
and then get sloughed off. This is a continuous process. As we
age, the balance between the production of these new cells, and
sloughing off the dead cells, is upset. This results in
accumulation of dead cells on the surface of the skin; giving it
a dry, scaly, rough and dull appearance. Exfoliation or scrubbing
helps us remove the excessive dead cells from the surface;
smoothing the face and allowing younger skin (cells) to surface.
Moreover, the process itself, promotes cell renewal, by
stimulating the blood circulation. This two-way action makes
exfoliation and important part of any anti-aging skin-care
regimen. How does Cinnamon oil help exfoliation? Cinnamon oil is
highly anti-bacterial and anti-microbial; and mildly astringent.
These properties help fight acne and other skin infections; while
helping ease any redness and inflammation. Cinnamon oil is also a
rich source of anti-oxidants; neutralizing free radicals; and
delaying the aging of our skin. Moreover, because of its warming
effect, cinnamon oil stimulates blood circulation; granting your
skin an increased supply of ents. This too reduces acne
break-outs, as well as improves the overall of the skin.
How do walnuts make a good exfoliation scrub? Walnuts shells are
hard and fibrous, making them naturally abrasive; perhaps a
little too abrasive for our skin. However, when crushed to a fine
powder, they are an effective natural exfoliant ingredient. As
their angular, multi-faceted particles retain the same hardness,
yet owing to the fine particle size, are rendered gently
abrasive. Walnut scrub helps restore the natural exfoliation
process of the skin; while ridding the epidermis of f the dead
cell accumulation. It is also effective in removing impurities
from our skin, which are not taken care of by routine cleansing.
Thus, walnut scrubs smooth the skin and eliminate dullness, but
gently. What is grapefruit oil and how does it benefit the skin?
Grapefruit oil is not obtained from the fruit grape; but from the
fruit of another citrus tree, namely grapefruit or Citrus
paradisi. With anti-oxidants lycopene and C, grapefruit
oil effectively fights signs of aging, including tissue
degeneration; by combating the harmful free radicals. It is also
known to have strong anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties;
which is helpful towards treating acne and other skin infections.
Grapefruit oil is also a popular decongestive. It disperses
pockets where impurities and fluids might have accumulated;
making it especially suitable for oily skin, which is prone to
congestion. This also helps in tightening and toning the skin;
making it much smoother. What is saffron and what are its
exfoliating benefits? Derived from the flower of Crocus sativus,
has been used as a and a toner since ancient times. It
removes dead cells, reduces oiliness and unclogs pores. Its
anti-bacterial activity keeps the skin free from infections, and
helps against acne too. Saffron has also proved effective as a
skin-lightening agent. As such, it reduces the appearance of
sun-tan, pigmentation and blemishes; while evening out the
skin-tone and granting a smoother complexion. Also known for its
anti-oxidant properties, it stimulates cell regeneration and
collagen production. This helps in healing of the wounds, as well
as in firming of the skin. Saffron even brightens up the skin, by
rendering it a ‘golden’ (tinted) glow. What makes Sandalwood a
good exfoliating agent? Sandalwood is a great skin care product
for both dry and oily skin. It happens to effectively hydrate the
skin, as well as protect it against sun damage. It also has
anti-microbial properties, owing to the presence of
beta-santalol. This helps in treating minor skin problems;
including cuts, sun burns, acne and even blackheads. Apart from
healing, sandalwood also soothes dry, irritated and/or inflamed
skin. Even blemishes that are left by stubborn acne, sun tan, etc
can also be effectively removed by it. The cleansing, toning,
moisturizing and sun-protection properties of sandalwood result
in a clean and flawless complexion.
