Dry, scaly skin, in addition to not being pleasant to the touch and making you feel uncomfortable, ages faster. In order to make it gentle and soft, it needs special care that will hydrate and regenerate it. If you prefer natural preparations, we will suggest several effective ingredients of plant origin and explain their nutritional properties.

If you are wondering what natural ingredients it should contain Body Milk that will provide you with the best care and deeply restore dry and sensitive skin, here are some suggestions.

Geranium essential oil

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is a plant that originates from the south of Africa, and whose essential oil has found its application in the therapy of many diseases. It has proven to be extremely healing for the skin in several ways - it restores the skin's natural glow, reduces wrinkles and signs of aging, regulates sebum, and is beneficial in wound healing, treating dermatitis, eczema, dandruff and psoriasis. The ingredients that distinguish geranium oil are geraniol, nerol and citronellol, the last of which has an extremely pleasant citrus smell. Geranium oil destroys fungi, bacteria and free radicals, soothes inflammation and irritation and is very effective in neutralizing toxins.

The medical name of this plant comes from the Greek word pelargos which means stork due to the appearance of the fruit, which resembles a stork's beak, while graveolens denotes fragrant leaves. A body milk or lotion containing this essential oil, in addition to bringing excellent results in the treatment of dry and mature skin, also has an extremely pleasant and sweet scent reminiscent of the scent of a rose. 

Green tea - to shine from the outside and the inside

Nutrients from green tea have become an indispensable ingredient in many cosmetic products for skin and hair care. Thanks to green tea, the skin will be soothed, cleansed and radiant. Antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, B vitamins, caffeine, manganese, magnesium and potassium affect wrinkles and sagging skin by reactivating cells from the surface layers. 

Green tea body lotion or milk can give your skin visible results after a few weeks of regular application. In addition, green tea can be consumed as a drink, but also added to a steam bath, while diluted with water, it will serve as a very effective facial cleansing tonic. Green tea has the power to revive your skin, tone it and give it a healthy glow.

Yellow evening primrose, a flower of great power

Yellow nightshade (Oenothera biennis) is a plant that originates from South America, whose natives used it in ancient times for various ailments, including dermatological inflammatory processes. It is often used to treat acne and rosacea, and when applied to the skin of the face and body, it compensates and restores water loss and neutralizes free radicals. 

We can thank gamma-linoleic acid, which belongs to omega 6 fatty acids, for its healing power. These fatty acids literally build a barrier against environmental factors. Evening primrose oil also improves elasticity, and is even more effective in combination with panthenol and vitamins A and E. It eliminates dryness and restores a smooth, youthful appearance to the skin.

Ginger improves the structure of the skin

Ginger originates from China, and as a culinary supplement, it is becoming more and more popular in our region. Besides being used as a spice and being used to make bread, beer, cakes and tea, it has found its place in cosmetic preparations. Thanks to the high level of antioxidants, ginger deeply nourishes the skin and acts against cellulite, accelerates circulation, cleans the skin and melts fat. This spicy root is also used to treat acne, scars and blemishes, and it also stimulates hair growth.

Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine have known it for centuries as anti-aging ingredient considering that it promotes the production of collagen and therefore "repairs" the structure of your skin. Apart from the fact that it can be taken as a prevention and medicine against various diseases such as colds, flu and stomach ailments, it is extremely effective against cellulite and aging skin, and as an ingredient in lotions and body milks, it works wonders for restoring skin elasticity. 

Immortelle oil – the sun's gold

A small yellow flower typical of the Mediterranean climate, and also found in our region, is an ingredient of an extremely valued, expensive and fragrant essential oil. Helichrysum arenarium, translated from Greek means "golden sun herb", has been known to women since ancient times - they put it in jars and poured olive oil over it to use this powerful elixir for skin care after a few weeks. 

Organic acids, vitamin K, tannin and alkaloids are responsible for the role of immortelle oil in natural cosmetics and mature skin care. The second name "immortality" probably got due to the fact that it retains the same appearance even after drying, but also because of its powerful effect on the skin, which makes it a real elixir of youth.

Clear and healthy skin is the result of persistence and adequate care. Restore your skin's necessary hydration, elasticity, softness and beauty thanks to the combination of nature's elixirs.
