How Calendula Can Transform Your Body Care
Calendula is a botanical that has been included within skin and body care for ages. In traditional medicine, calendula has been used to treat a range of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial skin ailments. This flower has shown numerous benefits for the skin, which is why calendula is an ingredient incorporated into many skin creams, oils, and ointments. Below we've included some of our favorite ways that calendula can transform your body care:
Moisturizes dry skin: Calendula contains natural oils that can help moisturize dry skin and help improve skin elasticity, making it a great addition for those with mature or aging skin. The antioxidant properties of calendula can help protect the skin from damage and support overall skin health, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to improve skin elasticity overtime. This wonderous plant can also help hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft, subtle, and smooth.
Skin brightening benefits: Calendula has properties that can help improve the overall appearance and luminosity of the skin. The natural skin-lightening properties of calendula can help reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and other skin discoloration to brighten the skin and even out the skin tone for a more radiant complexion.
Skin healing properties: Calendula has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated, inflamed, or otherwise sensitive skin. Calendula has been used for centuries to treat wounds, cuts, and other skin irritations. It has been shown to help speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of infection, while reducing the appearance of scars and improving overall skin texture. This ingredient is often applied to body care products aimed at relieving itching and redness caused by dry, flaky skin. Additionally, calendula’s antimicrobial and antibacterial properties have shown documented benefits to helping to kill the bacteria that causes acne.
These are just a few of the reasons why we love this flower and have incorporated it into our Coco Chiloso product line. Calendula is suitable for many skin types. However, it's always a good idea to patch test products in your skin care regimen to make sure your skin does not have an adverse reaction.
