Who is already in their 20s and 30s? This is the right time for us to use anti-aging skincare so that we don’t experience premature aging! Especially for those who are active in the midst of busy hustle and bustle and city pollution. Nowadays, there are many anti-aging skincare with various ingredients, but for those of us with sensitive skin, it will certainly be more difficult to find a suitable skincare. Don’t worry, there are natural alternatives out there!
In this article we will also discuss which is more effective, using anti-aging skincare or directly consuming these natural ingredients. Curious? Check out this article, Sereni-Trees!
Coconut Oil
This natural ingredient is popular for its multi-functionality and effectiveness. Aside from the skin, you can also use it on other areas like your hair or as a natural make-up remover! The reason why this natural ingredient is popular is because coconut oil is rich in antioxidants and is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory (perfect for soothing irritation, inflammation or redness).
Other advantages include its moisturising ability (automatically preventing signs of premature aging) which can make skin more supple, radiant and moisturised. Last but not least, coconut oil is proven to stimulate collagen production. Skin elasticity and firmness will certainly be better maintained. Perfect for anti-aging skincare!
Tomatoes
Who says tomatoes can only be consumed? It turns out that this natural ingredient functions as a mask or one of the ingredients of skincare! Lycopene and beta-carotene in tomatoes can protect your skin from UV rays and reduce inflammation. In addition, we can also prevent signs of premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and aging spots.
One of the unique facts about tomatoes is that this natural ingredient can also reduce acne and hyperpigmentation. Are you sure you’re not interested in trying it?
Moringa Leaf
Not just any leaves, moringa leaves are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and flavonoids. No wonder why these leaves are effective in brightening the face, removing spots, increasing collagen production, accelerating cell regeneration, and fighting free radicals.
Other than skin benefits, this natural ingredient has also been used for traditional medical treatments, maintaining eye health, boosting the body’s immunity, and even being a potent dewormer! Of course we don’t need to doubt the good benefits anymore!
White Turmeric
White turmeric is more famous as a kitchen ingredient, but make no mistake, this ingredient is also famous for its benefits for the skin. The vitamin C it contains can improve texture and increase brightness levels naturally. Not only that, white turmeric contains vitamin E (an antioxidant) and hyaluronic acid that helps our skin stay moisturised.
Moist and healthy skin is certainly very important to avoid premature aging!
Grapeseed Oil
Apart from being rich in fatty acids, grapeseed oil also contains polyphenols which are effective in fighting the signs of premature aging. Polyphenols not only help slow down the aging process, but can also reduce the appearance of premature aging signs.
Additionally, this oil has natural astringent properties so your skin will look firmer and more supple. It’s also great for those of you with rosacea or eczema!
Avocado
Avocado is one of the most popular fruits for food, especially for those on a diet. But it’s no less popular in the world of skincare! Avocados are very effective in fighting the signs of premature aging, providing good hydration, and providing vitamin C, vitamin E, and omega-9 fatty acids.
It can keep your skin healthy and glowing! You can also use it through skincare or direct consumption!
Green Tea (Extract)
This tea drink has been a favourite of all ages for as long as we can remember, but it’s also good for our skin and body! Evidenced by its abundant polyphenol or catechin content, green tea is proven to be a great antioxidant, skin hydrating, UV protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial.
That’s why these natural ingredients often appear in anti-aging products. For those of you with rosacea, acne, and atopic dermatitis, this is a must try!
Is it More Effective to Consume or Use Anti-Aging Skincare?
We can see the power of natural ingredients for our skin health. Plus the point is, most natural ingredients can be consumed and used through skincare. But which one is more effective?
The effectiveness of anti-aging skincare versus natural anti-aging ingredients actually depends on individual skin preferences and conditions. Anti-aging skincare is often specifically designed to address the signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of skin elasticity. However, these products generally only address skin aging issues.
On the other hand, consumption of natural anti-aging ingredients can not only be good for fighting premature aging but also provide long-term benefits to the overall health of the skin and body. For example, antioxidant-rich foods such as green tea, tomatoes and turmeric can help fight free radicals so that our skin is protected from damage.
What we consume will affect the health of the body including all its organs. In conclusion, the effectiveness will be much higher if we combine these two methods. It’s like skincare works to take care of the skin and then we help by taking care of the body from within through the consumption of natural ingredients. If necessary, we can also add certain supplements to our daily routine!
Sereni-Trees must remember that the essence of glowing skin is healthy skin and body. That’s why we always remind ourselves to prioritise health over instant, temporary “beauty”. Good things don’t come easy!
