Skin Vitality Handbook Final

Oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant
chemicals called avenathramides. Oatmeal is great alternative
for extremely sensitive and eczema prone skin. For people
with eczema they shouldn’t use too many products because it
can cause more irritation or allergies.
Shea butter is an ingredient found in a lot of moisturizers
because it hydrates the skin through its abundant amount
of fatty acids. It is extremely helpful in treating and soothing
eczema as well. Shea butter is also a good ingredient to look
for if your skin is more sensitive and dry.
Soy or soybeans has antioxidants and fatty acids that come
naturally from the plant. Soy is a protectant from UV rays
because it can reduce pigmentation aka redness or darkness.
Soy also helps your body to increase collagen synthesis.
Last, but not least, tea tree oil is an ingredient that also
provides beneficial plant chemicals. The leaves have antiinflammatory
effects which prevents your body from being
irritated from germs, fungus, and bacteria that may grow on
your skin. By applying tea tree oil it could decrease the amount
of redness or other pigmentation on our skin.
One disclaimer is that the way every body reacts to specific
ingredients is different. So just stay attentive to what you are
applying onto your skin and listen to the signs of your body.
