Incredible natural discoveries in skincare ingredients are helping to prove Mother Nature really is our most effective anti-ageing friend.Of course, it’s no secret that nature provides us with some of the most effective skincare ingredients. The ancient Egyptians knew very will the value of the aloe plant in softening and moisturizing the skin, and tea tree oil has been used on skin for more than 100 years. Even honey has therapeutic properties that have been recognized for around 3000 years.
But it’s only in recent years scientists have uncovered another high-tech plant ingredient that’s set to change the way we prevent ageing. Some ingredients such as Vitamin C, come from common plants like orange trees, others are slightly more obscure. For example, Kojic acid is derived form fungus and has recently been shown to effectively treat age spots.
Glycolic acid, a type of alpha-hydroxy acid, has become very popular in recent years. Extracted from sugar cane, sugar beets or pineapple, it’s well regarded for its exfoliation benefits. Xylose, a natural sugar extracted from trees, has been shown to stimulate cellular renewal, so the skin’s natural structure is bolstered and volume restored.
Of course, it’s not as simple as finding the ingredient and whacking it straight on your face. Scientists must test each ingredient extensively and develop formulas, so it’s delivered to you safely and effectively.
Beauty companies test every new ingredient to ensure it doesn’t irritate the skin in any way. Once they’ve established the new ingredient if safe, they combine it with traditional skincare ingredients like water and aqua.
If you’re looking to bring some high-tech nature to your beauty routine one of the most recent products on the market to harness the power of naturals skin products. This day cream features an ingredient called Pro-Xylane, which is made from Xylose. With regular usage expect your skin to feel plumped up, smoother and firmer, and any wrinkles will visibly fill out.
