What are Lotions & Moisturizers?

Lotions & moisturizers play many different roles to help keep skin looking and feeling soft, smooth and youthful. The natural ingredients found in these products help to defend skin against environmental factors such as UV rays, heat, wind, humidity, pollution and cigarette smoke. Over time, exposure to the elements may lead to dry skin, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, also known as sunspots. Moisturizers and lotions often supply antioxidants to fight the damaging, age-accelerating effects of free radicals.**

Natural skin products may further support youthful-looking skin with specialized “building block” compounds that nourish the skin’s collagen matrix. Youthful skin contains naturally occurring substances known as collagen and elastin, as well as fat deposits that give skin a supple, full appearance and healthy glow. As years go by, skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. Topical products are quickly absorbed by the skin, providing on-site support that helps replenish collagen and elastin for rejuvenating skin renewal.**

Dry skin is another problem that can be addressed with lotions & moisturizers. The natural emollients and humectants in these products help to “seal in” moisture, promoting hydrated, soft and supple skin. They also form a natural barrier that helps protect the skin against environmental assaults and drying factors. Some dry skin products may also supply inflammation-modulating natural compounds that help to soothe away redness and dry, scaly patches on skin.**

Some of the most popular lotions & moisturizers include:

• Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Also known as hyaluronan, hyaluronic acid is a type of complex sugar that occurs naturally throughout the body. Within the top layer of skin, hyaluronic acid has similar effects as collagen, providing a plump, full effect that mirrors that of youthful skin. Research suggests hyaluronic acid may help speed cell regeneration.**
• Aloe Vera Moisturizing Cream: For thousands of years, healing traditions in Asia, Europe and South America have prized aloe vera’s soothing properties. Research reveals aloe vera supplies 70+ beneficial compounds that work together to speed wound healing and modulate skin inflammation.**
• Coconut Oil for Skin: Across the tropics, coconut oil has long been used as a moisturizer and skin soother. Research supports coconut oil’s use as an emollient; recent studies show that this rich oil also contains powerful antiseptic and antibacterial compounds that promote clear, glowing skin and speed wound healing.**
• Vitamin E Cream: Vitamin E delivers powerful antioxidant compounds that neutralize damage from free radicals. This fat-soluble nutrient also contains inflammation-modulators that ease redness and irritation. Studies suggest that vitamin E may help with wrinkles, fine lines and other visible signs of aging.**
• Tea Tree Moisturizing Lotion: For centuries, oil from the tea tree has been prized for its skin-supportive antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This Australian plant’s natural compounds are used for cleansing, acne, athletes’ foot and fungal issues. Studies show the oil also modulates inflammation, easing redness, itching and irritation.**
• Alpha Hydroxy Acid Lotion: Alpha hydroxy acids are naturally occurring organic acids that have long been used to exfoliate skin, removing dead, dry cells to reveal fresh layers. Studies show that alpha hydroxy acid hydrates dry skin, reducing itching, flaking and peeling, as well as easing acne and revitalizing sun-damaged skin.**
• Collagen and Placenta Cream: Collagen and placenta cream helps revitalize the full, supple appearance and glow that collagen naturally gives to young skin -- effects that dwindle over time. Placenta provides a rich natural source of collagen; research also indicates that lotions containing placenta may help wounds heal more rapidly.**
