LUX Beauty: Mother Nature-Inspired Beauty Remedies
Are collagen, botox injections and plastic surgery becoming beauty procedures of the past? Beauty consumers are becoming tired of the usual old ways of trying to appear younger and are searching for newer ways to do it, naturally! Out on the beauty market now are cutting-edge alternatives to maintain younger skin without using needles or going under the knife. These new ingredients impacting the beauty industry are all-natural and produced by Mother Nature herself. Wish bygone beauty fixers like botox and face-lifts farewell. Say hello to Mother Nature-inspired beauty remedies using ingredients like syrup, snail slime, stem cells, flowers and fruits!
After discovering that sap from the upper Amazonian Sangre de Drago trees plumps sagging skin and eases wrinkles over time, beauty brands have incorporated it into facial creams and serums like Rodial’s Dragon’s Blood eye gel. Known as an all-natural beauty wonder, maple syrup enhances the appearance of skin with manganese, potassium, zinc, vitamins A and B, antioxidants and anti-bacterial properties. B. Kamins’ Maple Night Cream and Naturally Upper Canada’s Hydrating Oil are both products that are extremely healthy for the skin’s appearance.
Snails from South America are currently taking the beauty world by storm. Their snail slime is extracted for its special properties that firm and tighten ageing skin and is proven to improve moisture. This snail slime research has convinced beauty brands to infuse this snail slime, or mucin, into face serums and creams. Celebrities are even catching onto this trend, getting snail slime facial treatments and using snail slime products to give them great skin before auditioning for film roles. Dr. Jart, Tony Molly and Mizon are brands that all offer these products.
The human body fights off damage with the help of stem cells. Stem cells naturally found in plants can regenerate themselves and are being added to topical creams. Once applied, the stem cell-infused cream offers dramatic age-defying results. Wrinkles have the ability to disappear within days and dark spots will fade. Although these products are expensive to produce, there are now more affordable stem cell beauty products offered over the counter. B. Kamins, The Body Shop and NeoStrata are among the affordable ones.
Many beauty companies have looked to various flowers, leaves and even herbs to offer their powerful ingredients. Flowers offer aromatherapy that seduces the brain and makes users feel happier. Smelling the scent of flowers and herbs such as jasmine is proven to boost the body’s energy, reduce anxiety and increase focus. Other leaves and herbs that make a difference when infused into creams and oils are mint leaves and lily flower petals. Brands that incorporate these properties into products are Shu Uemura, L’Occitane and Aesop.
Fruit and vegetable extracts are becoming increasingly popular in the beauty market. The natural benefits of Mother Nature’s candy like strawberry, coconut, citrus, and essences of tomatoes and avocados are used to offer products a powerful, yet natural boost instead of using artificial scents to make the product smell tasty. Using real strains of fruits and vegetables will enable oxidation damage to be erased so lines, wrinkles and sagging skin will disappear. Fruit and vegetable-infused products also mean that skin discoloration will reduce and hair will become softer and shinier. Fruit and vegetable-based beauty products are available from Crabtree & Evelyn, Lamke Beauty and Say Yes to Tomatoes.
