5 Green Ingredients In Your Skincare:

1) ALGAE

Algae is widely used in skincare products due to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to hydrate and smooth the skin. One of the most popular forms you may have heard of before is spirulina, which brings us to number 2:

2) SPIRULINA

Spirulina is the ultimate skin superfood inside and out. It contains 10x more concentrated beta carotene than carrots and is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A and K, as well as B complex. It’s also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids, and lipids. Spirulina is an amazing detoxifier and will help to protect your skin from free radical damage.


3) CUCUMBER

Cucumber has been shown to reduce swelling and puffiness making it beneficial for inflammatory acne and sensitized skin. Cucumber has a naturally cooling and soothing effect on the skin topically and contains silica (a collagen boosting mineral) which makes them a beneficial skin food internally too. They have a fountain-of-youth effect, hydrating us at the deepest cellular level possible.

4) OLIVE LEAF

Whether you love olives or you hate them, you need to know about the skincare benefits of olive leaf. The leaves of these ethereal trees have been used throughout history for a variety of remedies, and mentioned in ancient scripture:

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” - Ezekiel 47:12

Internally, olive leaf helps to get pathogens out of the lymphatic system, provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, and remove acidity from the body. Topically, olive leaf protects your skin from free radical breakdown, lessens the severity of inflamed breakouts, soothes irritation, brightens, softens, and supports wound healing.

5) AVOCADO

Avocados increase the body’s ability to assimilate nutrients, which make them a wonderful addition to green leafy salads to ensure proper absorption of all the vitamins and minerals. In skincare avocado oil is known to boost the skin’s elasticity and its ability to strengthen and moisturize the skin barrier.
