06/11/2014 Remember the tradition of applying turmeric paste to increase the glow and vitality of your skin? There are similar age-old traditions that involve natural, fresh ingredients for enhancing our natural beauty. It is a fact that natural, homemade cosmetics are very useful for prolonging the life of our skin. However, the only problem with these traditional recipes is that they do not have a shelf life. That is why we need specialized products that are made with a combination of traditional recipes and science so they are effective as well as long lasting.

This is even more important when we want products for special needs, such as people with sensitive skin and babies. People with sensitive skin cannot use just any off-the-shelf product. They need specialized products that help them with their daily needs. They need products that help revitalize their skin and help prevent adverse skin reactions or other dermatological complaints, such as dry skin, overly sensitive skin, thinned skin, and even greasy and impure skin.

These problems need specialized products that contain calming ingredients, such and ginseng, eucalyptus oil, juniper berries, aloe vera extract, and even orange blossoms. Ginseng is very useful for revitalizing dry, dull skin, especially among people who are mature in age. This product also reduces puffiness, dark circles under the eyes, and even prevents wrinkles. On the other hand eucalyptus oil is very beneficial for healing your skin and taking care of the rashes and other skin ailments. Combined with juniper berries, eucalyptus helps your skin overcome a lot of skin problems. Aloe vera, the amazing skin whitening and revitalizing agent, when combined with orange blossom oil helps refresh both your body and mind.

Babies, on the other hand, need products that are as gentle as the babies themselves. Baby products need to be free from any abrasive items and should be gentle, sensitive, and effective. These products need ingredients that have a calming effect on the babies’ skin and an aroma that soothes the baby. Strong-scented or mildly abrasive products will only harm babies.
That is why products meant for babies should never have ingredients like eucalyptus, orange, lavender, peppermint, and even most citrus items. Baby skin care products should also be free of coloring agents because these, while nice to look at, would harm the tender baby skin. Additionally, baby products should have a mild moisturizing effect on the skin so that it helps sooth the infant and prevent rashes, especially diaper rashes.

The best ingredients for baby skin, such as shea butter, almond extract, and Calendula, help nourish and moisturize baby skin. These ingredients are mild and ideal for the sensitive skin of babies. And, not surprisingly, one of the best ingredients for the skin of a baby is rice and rice paste. This ingredient has been used for centuries to make baby skin care products and is perfect to enrich the delicate skin of an infant.

So before you shop for cosmetic products for people with sensitive skin or even products for a baby, make sure that you buy products after a thorough scrutiny of their ingredients. It is a good idea to compare the ingredients against their benefits so that you know that the product is suitable. And when you plan to buy products for an infant, you also need to see and smell the product to ensure that it is free of any artificial colors or strong fragrances.
