I created 3 new products using Rose Petals and Red Clover Flowers infused in Sweet Almond Oil. Once you read the benefits of each herb and oil you will see why I chose to combine the ingredients into facial oils and salves.
Roses contain many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help with skincare. The oils can help soothe dry skin, and can help reduce redness and calm the skin. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can even help treat acne. Rose essential oil and rose hip oil contain high levels of antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals and prevent premature aging. The oils can regenerate cell tissue, which can be beneficial for dry, sensitive, or aging skin. Roses are full of natural sugars and oils that can help keep skin moisturized, smooth, and soft. Roses are rich in vitamins C and E, which can boost collagen and help smooth wrinkles.
Red Clover Flowers have been used traditionally to treat skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis and it is commonly used in skincare products to enhance skin tone and firm skin. There have been studies showing that red clover isoflavones can reduce skin aging caused by estrogen deprivation. Red clover isoflavones can stimulate the skin's natural collagen production system. Over time it can increase the skin's thickness and increase the dskin's plumpness. It improves the skin's moisture levels and enhances the hydrating role of hyaluronic acid, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Red clover can also help calm acne and red spots.
Sweet Almond Oil has many benefits for the skin, including UV that helps protect the skin from UV damage and it helps repair the damage caused by sun exposure. It can help calm irritation, redness, and aggravation associated with eczema and psoriasis.
Sweet almond oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, which help nourish and moisturize the skin. It contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe skin irritation, redness, swelling, and itching. It contains vitamins A and E, which help soften the skin. And it can be used as a cleanser to help remove dirt and excess sebum from the skin. It's antibactreial properties can help prevent the growth of blackheads and acne.
Bonus: Sweet almond oil can help prevent stretch marks by improving elasticity in areas that are prone to stretching.
Frankincense benefits include the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone and elasticity. It is used as a defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes. It improves the skins appearance as someone ages. It may help tone and lift skin, reduce the appearance of scars and acne, and treat wounds. It may also be beneficial for fading stretch marks, surgery scars or marks associated with pregnancy and it helps heal dry or cracked skin.
All of these products smell wonderful and are very nourishing to the skin, providing the benefits listed above. What I love about this product is that it can be used on aging skin as well as teens and young adults dealing with breakouts of acne and blackheads.
