Our skin is subjected to various challenges on a daily basis: dryness, cuts, burns, ageing, etc. It is charged with protecting us, and it is thus crucial that we look after it in return. Here are 4 plant based remedies that are 100% natural, to help repair, hydrate and soften your skin.

Aloe vera, your best friend when it comes to skin problems

Aloe vera is one of the most widely used plants in terms of natural remedies for skin healing. This plant has over 200 benefits. It is effective for treating blackheads, for soothing burns or sunburn, for healing eczema and even for combatting skin ageing. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it can be used on the skin in ts pure form.

Ideally buy organic aloe vera, or buy it as a plant you grow at home.

Plants for treating burns and sunburn

First of all, put the burned skin under water at a temperature of 20°C for 10 minutes and call a doctor if you develop a fever, shivering, etc.

Olive oil and gotu kola essential oil or powder are highly efficient in the cases of burns or sunburn. Gotu kola is the perfect plant for treating skin inflammations such as eczema, hives, spots or for fighting against hair loss.

If you have minor burns or sunburn, apply a small quantity of olive oil to the area and massage it in gently to soothe the pain.

100% natural plant remedies to promote healing

Aloe vera, hyssop and gotu kola are three plants that can be used to accelerate healing in the cases of minor cuts and wounds, as long as they have been disinfected beforehand. Pure organic sea buckthorn oil is also well known for promoting healing. You simply have to apply it twice a day, either pure or mixed in a moisturiser, to the area to be treated.

Natural anti-wrinkle remedies

Wrinkles are a part of natural skin ageing, but that is no reason not to treat them! Certain plants such as marshmallow root, ginseng, ivy and hops have proven their worth in cosmetic anti-wrinkle products. You can find organic versions in liquid extract form either in health shops or online, but do not apply them directly to the skin, and always follow the directions for usage. Generally, it is enough to add a few drops to your organic moisturiser.

Finally, certain vegetable oils, such as corn oil; evening primrose oil, wheatgerm oil, apricot oil or avocado oil are very good for the skin because they contain nutrients and vitamins that contribute to skin repair.
