Body Creams — Simple Strategies For A Beautiful Skin
The most effective body creams don’t cost hundreds of dollars, but they do cost more than Unilever or Dove. Their body lotion and creams are primarily composed of petrolatum, paraffin wax and mineral oils.
Those petroleum derivatives only work if you skin’s moisture levels are already high. They prevent moisture loss and repel moisture, which is why they are effective for diaper rash. But, they do not provide any new moisture, as they are not similar to the skin’s own oils and do not penetrate. The best body creams are quite different.
Several plant oils are very similar in composition to the skin’s own sebum. Body lotion and creams that contain them are effective for everything from rough elbows to sagging necklines, eczema, psoriasis, acne, age spots, stretch marks and wrinkles. Here’s a look a brief look at some of those plant oils.
Jojoba
Jojoba was used historically to treat a variety of skin ailments. The oil is very similar to sebum, so the cells accept it well, without the threat of breakouts or adverse reactions.
Body lotion and creams contain jojoba help to balance sebum production. They moisturizer dry skin and ease the production of oil in oily skin.
In addition to softening and moisturizing, jojoba body creams are beneficial in fading wrinkles, scars and stretch marks, as well as relieving acne and psoriasis.
Grape Seed
Grape seed oil has high antioxidant activity, so it can repair damage done by free radicals and prevent further damage from occurring. It is included in the best body lotion and creams, since it also helps to fade stretch marks.
The best body creams focus on providing the nutrients needed for healthy skin. Grape seed is rich in essential fatty acids, which are important nutrients for the skin’s health.
Olive
Olive oil shows the closest compatibility to human skin of all of the natural plant oils. It is also rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids.
Other Nutrients
Vitamin B5 helps repair skin tissue and acts as a natural moisturizer. It provides some natural protection against sunburn and relieves existing sunburns.
Coenzyme Q10 levels are quickly depleted when the skin is exposed to UV radiation from the sun. It is one of the most effective antioxidants and supplementation on the hands and arms is particularly important. HEQ10 is a patented compound that contains coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, in a nano-particle formulation that is quickly and easily absorbed.
Body lotion and creams should contain kelp extract, as well, because this extract protects protein levels in the skin that are naturally reduced with age. Wakame kelp is the best variety to look for, but only a few products contain it.
Supplementation of the keratin protein is also important, as it is necessary to build new cells. If you want to look younger, longer, you have to support the body’s natural ability to grow new skin.
The best body creams on the market provide all of these beneficial nutrients and contain nothing artificial. Now, you know what to look for.
