Natural Skin Firming Ingredients

Although we would rather not spend time worrying about the effects of aging on our skin, if you do not think about it now, it may be too late when you do.  An easy way to fight the signs of aging before they even start is to begin and maintain a high quality skin care routine using Oro Gold products.  These formulas are created by combining the always evolving science of skincare with naturally beneficial ingredients.  Sagging skin is one major area of concern.  Luckily, there are plenty of natural ingredients that help tighten and tone the skin.

Green Tea

As you may know, green tea is full of antioxidants.  Antioxidants are an excellent defense against free radicals.  Free radicals steal outer ring electrons from other molecules, turning them into free radicals.  If this cycle is allowed to continue, damage to the cells will occur.  This causes them to not function as properly as they should, which leads to increased signs of aging.  It is easy to understand why something rich in antioxidants would be beneficial to your skin’s health.   Green tea extract has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.  Through several research studies, green tea has also been shown to prevent ultraviolet radiation damage, another important benefit to your skin since sun damage is the number one environmental cause of premature aging.

Shea Butter

The Shea tree can be found in western and central Africa and almost every single part of the tree can be put to practical use, including the one we best know it for, an anti-aging skin care product.  Shea butter found in Oro Gold cosmetics naturally moisturizes the skin because the moisturizers found in shea butter are very similar to the body’s natural oils.  It also contains large amounts of Vitamin E which protects skin from UV rays as well as improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera and skin care have been partnered since the Ancient Egyptians.  Its most popular use is connected to the treatment of sunburns.  When the plant’s leaves are broken, they produce a clear gel which can be applied directly to the skin to sooth and heal wounds and burns.  You may already have an aloe plant in your home.  If you don’t, they are available at almost all nurseries.  This plant is great for your skin because it contains 19 of the 20 amino acids the body requires for good health.  Besides the incomparable healing properties, it also firms and moisturizes.

In addition to these ingredients found in Oro Gold cosmetics, it is important to understand that what you eat can also affect the appearance of your skin.  Whenever you consume lots of sugar or salt, your skin tends to look puffier, especially around the eyes, and loses overall elasticity.  Eating an antioxidant rich diet along with using Oro Gold skin care formulas will help your skin stay healthy and toned.
