There is a variety of herbs that can help reduce the symptoms of skin allergy, rash, irritation, rash, infection and other diseases. These herbs are anti-microbial, astringent and support detoxification and they are easily absorbed and often contain soothing ingredients. Herb extract is found in many skincare products and they can be effective in moisturizing the skin and enhancing a moisturizer’s effectiveness. This article discusses some of the most common extracts used in skincare. Comfrey, Aloe vera, Chamomile extract, Calendula, Barley, and Witch hazel are also good choices. All of these ingredients are great for a variety of skincare concerns. But which one is best for your skin?

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is an amazing plant that can treat many skin problems. It is a natural moisturizer and heals burns, wounds, and blemishes. In addition to this, it can help reduce staph bacteria that are often found on the skin. It can also help a person manage itchy, inflamed skin conditions like eczema. It can also increase hyaluronic acid and collagen levels in the body, which are crucial for healthy skin.

However, be careful when using aloe vera gel. It may irritate your skin if it is not the right fit for your skin type. If you have a rash after applying it, wash off immediately and consult your doctor.

Witch hazel

Many people believe that witch hazel is synonymous with Sea Breeze Astringent, but this is far from the truth. This ingredient is an effective toner that doesn’t strip the skin of moisture. In fact, it helps tone and unclog pores. This makes it an excellent choice for people with oily skin, or those who have trouble with acne. Using witch hazel as a toner is an easy way to incorporate the ingredient into your skincare routine.

Calendula

Calendula is a great herb for skin irritation because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is rich in phytochemicals such as flavonoids, carotenoids and phenolic acids that soothe inflammation, calm the skin, promote wound healing and improve the elasticity of your skin. It can also help protect the skin from oxidative stress, which is caused by free radicals. The same antioxidants that help heal skin irritation also scavenge these free radicals, neutralizing them before they can cause damage to your skin cells. You can use calendula oil, tinctures, tea, and ointments to treat a variety of conditions, including diaper rash, ringworm, vaginal yeast infections, and dermatitis. But more research is needed to find out if it helps with a broad range of other skin health concerns.

Chamomile

Chamomile, a flower native to Europe, is commonly used to relieve headaches, back and joint pain, fevers, arthritis and pregnancy discomfort. It also used to soothe skin irritations because it has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that make it an excellent treatment for a variety of skin ailments including sunburn and rashes. It’s also great for reducing redness and swelling caused by acne or other skin conditions like eczema. The anti-inflammatory compounds in chamomile can help improve your skin’s barrier function, which keeps out irritants that could otherwise aggravate it.

Barley

This grain contains a high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients help reduce inflammation and create a protective barrier over the skin. Barley is also a source of selenium, an essential mineral that helps protect against free radicals and improves the immune system. However, barley should only be used as a cosmetic ingredient in skincare products at a level of five to ten percent of the finished product.

Jewelweed

Jewelweed is the most popular herb for skin irritation, as it has a long history of being used by herbalists to treat poison ivy and other plant-induced rashes. It is anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine, and can help to ease itching of bug bites, stinging nettles, athlete’s foot, eczema, and other itchy skin conditions. Jewelweed can be harvested fresh to use as a poultice for itchy, red patches of skin. It’s also often infused into oil to make a salve.

Comfrey

Comfrey is one of the best herbs for skin irritation, its leaves, roots, and fruit of comfrey have been used since ancient times. Dioscorides, a Greek physician, wrote that the plant was effective for healing wounds and broken bones. It also helps with the healing of broken bones, and bruising. The best way to use comfrey for healing is as a poultice or a salve. It is very important to use it only on clean, closed wounds. Otherwise, it can encourage new tissue to cover the wound and allow a bacterial infection to start. However, comfrey contains toxic chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be harmful to the liver, and may be carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
