Natural Skin Moisturizers & Skin Care
What do you know about the ingredients contained in the skin care products
that you apply to your face and body daily? Are they natural skin
moisturizers and essential oils or are they synthetic and full of
preservatives? Some products may contain toxins and chemicals that
can accelerate the aging of your skin and even create adverse
health effects.
When you apply a skin care product, its ingredients are absorbed into
your skin and enter the body through the pores and into the blood
stream. So, why not put products on your skin that will nourish
and moisturize, rather than poison?
This is the philosophy behind Rituals Skin Care’s organic and natural
skin moisturizers, bath and shower gel and shaving cream. Our
products are created to promote health for your skin and body, so
that you look and feel beautiful inside and out.
Rituals Skin Care’s shaving products contain a variety of
moisturizers. Why the emphasis on skin moisturizers? The act of
shaving irritates and drys the skin, removing the top protective layer
and reducing moisture. For many men and women, shaving is a daily
ritual, and some men with heavy beard growth shave twice a day.
With each shave, the skin must be moisturized to restore
its healthy complexion.
The most effective way to moisturize the skin is to prepare the
skin before the shaving begins. Anti
Irritation Pre Shave Oil prepares
the face and body for a close, comfortable shave. When applied before All
Natural Shaving Cream with Coconut Oil ,
the drag of the razor is lessened and, therefore, creates a closer
shave reducing razor burn, chapping and irritation. Follow up your
shave with organic
shaving lotion, and your skin will remain smooth and clear.
Soaps can also dry the skin, especially when they are not made up of
natural ingredients. Our Organic
Bath & Shower Gel is formulated to clean and moisturize the
skin without leaving it dry. After bathing, while the skin is
still damp, apply Moisturizing
Face and Body Oil to
moisturize your body from head to toe. If it is a lotion you prefer,
you can seal in all of that wonderful moisture with Organic
Milk and Honey Lotion. This hydrating organic face and body lotion
is a cool and creamy deep penetrating moisturizer that nourishes
the skin without feeling greasy or heavy.
The various all natural and organic moisturizing agents in our products
have different beneficial attributes that contribute to creating
an effective skin care product. A
quality product moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue on
your skin and blocking your pores or drying the skin after it has
been absorbed.
Natural skin moisturizers leaves your skin feeling soft by increasing
its water content. Ingredients, such as emollients and lubricants
each have a specific job such as building a barrier against loss
of moisture, repairing and soothing irritated and injured skin,
or repairing or decelerating signs of aging. We have a wonderful
array of nourishing ingredients in our products:
- Tamanu Oil comes from the Tamanu tree, and has been used over time
by many cultures in the tropics for ailments ranging from skin allergies
and abrasions to rheumatism. It is legendary for its healing and regenerative
growth of the skin, and its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties
can prevent breakouts in the skin that can flare up after shaving.
- Noni seed oil is abundant in linoleic acid and is effective
in reducing inflammation and retaining moisture.
- Milk Proteins are made up of casein and whey proteins
and are rich in amino acids. They act as an emollient, sealing
in moisture while soothing irritations, such as rashes and burns.
- Honey has antiseptic properties and is used topically
for swelling and scarring of wounds, which makes it a great skin soother
after a shave.
- Sweet Almond Oil has been used for many years as
an emollient to soften the skin. It does this by covering its
surface in a thin layer of oil, which keeps water
retained within and increases the capacity to retain moisture.
- Jojoba Oil comes from the seed of the Jojoba plant,
and acts as a waterproof protector for hair and skin by keeping
them from becoming brittle and dry.
- Shea Butter is a moisturizer and emollient that
comes from the fruit of the Shea tree in West Africa. It has anti-inflammatory
properties and has been effective in treating skin conditions such as
scarring, eczema, burns, rashes, acne and dry skin.
- Grape Seed Oil is known for it regenerative qualities
and is used cosmetically in repairing damaged and stressed tissues, especially
around the eyes, and has been found to reduce the appearance of stretch
marks.
- Avocado Oil is used as a base and a carrier for
other oils and substances because of its ability to penetrate deeply
into the skin. Its ability to stimulate the metabolism of collagen and
its high Vitamin E content makes avocado oil a powerful antioxidant,
enabling it to assist in the deceleration of signs of aging in the skin.
- Macadamia Oil has a very rich feel to it and is
used as an emollient to retain moisture in the skin due to its high content
of palmitoleic acid, which is found in sebum in children, but virtually
disappears in mature skin. Sebum is an oily substance that helps the
skin retain moisture, and macadamia oil helps restore some of that ability
in adult skin.
- Horsetail, a primitive plant is used to heal skin
tissue and sooth irritated skin.
- Geranium serves as an antiseptic and is also known for balancing the
skin, whether it is too oily or too dry.
- Dandelion has many benefits internally and externally. It is an antioxidant
and an effective skin cleanser and toner.
Each Rituals Skin Care product is made from the cleanest ingredients,
and goes on smooth leaving skin feeling silky as it dries. Enjoy
our products and make them part of your skin care ritual!
