1. Feed the Bugs that Feed Your Skin
Our skin is the home of millions of beneficial microbes. Remember, the human body is made of trillions of cells. Only 10% of these are human cells and the rest of them are microbes – mostly good ones! The outer skin produces an oil called sebum. When the good microbes feed on sebum, the skin microbes produce new immune boosting fatty acids that create the skin’s protective barrier.
2. Over-Bathing Kills the Good Bugs
When bathing and showering with lots of soaps and shampoos, the healthy oils and free fatty acids are often washed off. This leaves the skin too dry to support the health of the good bacteria that protect it.
3. Employ Plant-Based Oils as Carriers for Powerful Skin Nourishing Herbals
It is traditional to slowly cook specific herbs into the plant-based oils to make them even more beneficial to the function of the skin. These herbs are impregnated into the oil, enhancing the benefits and lending specific properties to the oil depending on the herbs used.
4. Rehydrate, clean and rejuvenate your skin with herbalized oil.
