Spirulina

This green algae may smell a little funky, but it’s packed with superfood nutrition. It’s rich in protein, iron, antioxidants, magnesium and b-vitamins to name just a few. It has more than 26 times the amount of calcium found in milk, and pound for pound is considered to be the most nutrient dense food on the planet. The antioxidants help to prevent aging and wrinkles for younger looking skin.It will give your skin a nutrient boost for healthier, better looking skin, and it’s also really great for acne prone skin.

Raw honey

It’s soothing and regenerating to skin and is even used to help heal burns. It’s natural antibacterial properties make it great for cleansing skin and keeping it clear. It also acts as a moisturizer to keep skin soft and supple.

Yoghurt

You may know that yogurt is full of gut healthy probiotics, but these good bacteria stains are also nourishing for your skin. Yogurt naturally contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that helps to naturally exfoliate dead skin cells. This in turn reveals the fresh, healthy skin underneath and helps to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and aging skin.

Essential oils

There are so many different essential oils, with so many different uses. Some essential oils can be too irritating for the delicate skin on the face though, so choose your essential oils carefully and use a carrier oil . My favorites to help enhance skin are geraniumfrankincense and lavender. These essential oils help restore and rejuvenate skin and also fight aging skin.
