Tackling adult acne with natural beauty products

With half of all adult women suffering from acne at some point, it is no wonder that many females are looking to find natural beauty products that don’t contain harsh chemicals that will irritate their skin.
According to makeup artist Laura Jane Sessions, people are becoming more interested in their overall health and wellbeing, which is leading to concerns about what we put on our skin and in our body.
"Sadly, there are still many toxic substances in the products we use," she said.
"However, thanks to the media, reports of the potential long-term health effects of many of these ingredients are becoming well-known. As concern rises and media interest grows, more consumers are becoming aware of the potential risks associated with repeated exposure to some of these ingredients and [are] looking for toxin-free alternatives to beauty favourites."
While adult acne can be caused by numerous factors, including hormones, stress and certain strains of bacteria, some cosmetics can also lead to a flare-up, so opt for organic beauty products that will calm the skin and clear up any blemishes.
Certain herbal oils, like grape seed oil, are thought to have mildly astringent properties that tighten the pores and so help prevent further break-outs, while other natural products can soothe the skin and treat scarring left by acne.
Frankincense essential oil, for example, has antiseptic properties that can prevent infection and help fade scars, so mix a few drops with carrier oils like walnut or grape seed for a nourishing skin treatment.
Rosehip oil is another good product to keep on hand in your bathroom because it is packed full of non-saturated fatty acids and vitamin A, which studies suggest is why it is an effective treatment for acne scars. Try using these oils as part of your skincare regime and in a short while you should see the difference in your complexion.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
