With so many products on the shelves, which one do I use first, and what do they do for me? Rest easy knowing that BBeautiful has got you covered from face to toe, and from pimple to wrinkle.

 

The three basic steps of any good skincare routine go:

  • Cleanse
  • Moisturise
  • Protect

 

Cleansing

Cleansing is the most basic step of the routine. We can’t promise that the process will look as ceremonious as those commercials with two handfuls of water splashed gloriously onto your face, but with BBeautiful, we can guarantee a radiant glow at the end of it all. The Purifying Neem and Gotukola Face Wash from Inveda is an organic blend of natural ingredients that targets excess dirt clogging your pores, leaving your skin soft and clean. It’s good for all skin types, but especially for oily and acne-prone skin.

 

Moisturising

The next step, moisturising, is the most important. While too many individuals believe they can neglect moisturising because of their skin type or the season, this myth can have a negative impact on their overall skin health. If you have oily or mixed skin, use an oil-free moisturiser to avoid breakouts caused by excessive natural skin oil that comes from your body compensating for the lack of moisture. We recommend you check your face, and notice how much natural skin oil you produce.

 

For oily to dry skin we recommend Neemli’s Hyaluronic & Oat Amino Acid Moisturizer. The organic combination of hyaluronic acid (don’t worry, it’s the safe kind), oat amino acid, and aloe vera. Hyaluronic acid works like a sponge, absorbing water from the environment and rebuilding the skin's barrier. This softens fine wrinkles and makes the skin appear tighter while smoothing down dry, rough spots. Hyaluronic acid also plumps and volumizes skin cells, resulting in a more radiant appearance. Oat amino acids contain pH-balancing qualities that moisturise and soothe the skin while guarding against the negative effects from outside exposures. This moisturiser, which contains soothing aloe vera and antioxidant-rich niacinamide, protects against moisture loss, as well as chemical and UV damage, regulating oiliness and boosting skin resilience.

 

If you have normal, goldilocks skin - not too dry, not too oily, but just right - there’s Inveda’s Kumkumadi Face Cream. It’s enriched with the luxurious kumkumadi oil which treats various skin problems which helps reduce pigmentation, treat acne, and clarify the skin for a healthier complexion. The emollient oils of sweet almond and wheat germ deeply moisturize and nourish the skin, while potent saffron extracts provide a radiant glow. 

 

Protecting

For this last step, the simplest thing you can do that will work wonders for your skin is a little sunscreen. Mom alway told you to put on some sunscreen, and she was right! Maybe not until you look like a ghost, but sunscreen prevents ultraviolet (UV) rays, which cause the majority of sunburns. UV intensity changes. It's strongest at midday, and in the spring and autumn, although it can burn you anytime of the year. Another crucial reason to use sunscreen everyday is that 80% of UV rays can pierce clouds, so you can burn even on a cloudy day. It also reduces the risk of cancer, premature aging, blotchiness, and hyperpigmentation. 

 

A good sunscreen like Inveda’s Sunscreen Cream Gel. Enriched with comfrey and zesta, Inveda’s Sunscreen Cream Gel SPF 50 is a broad spectrum sun protection that protects your skin from the harmful UVA/UVB rays of the sun. And don’t worry - it doesn’t leave any white residue and it’s light on your skin. 

 

Diving deeper

If the basic steps just won’t cut it, then we’ve got you too. Toners, exfoliants, scrubs, serums, and masks. If you’re looking to add these to the mix then let’s show you how. 

 

 

These steps will lead you to radiant skin, and a glowing smile. 

 

So remember, BBeautiful.

In today's world, the pursuit of radiant, healthy skin has become more than just a beauty trend – it's a lifestyle choice that embraces the values of sustainability, health, and well-being. As consumers become increasingly conscious of what they put on their skin, and the impact it has on the environment, the demand for natural and organic skincare products has surged. But what exactly makes these products so special, and why should you consider putting them into your skincare routine? Let's dive in and explore the many benefits of natural and organic skincare for both you and the planet.

 

Gentle and Nourishing Formulations 

One of the most significant advantages of natural and organic skincare products is their gentle and nourishing formulas. Free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and synthetic preservatives commonly found in conventional skincare products, natural and organic options are designed to work in harmony with your skin's natural functions. Instead of stripping your skin of its natural oils and moisture, these products provide essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants that promote healthy skin from the inside out. Whether you have sensitive skin prone to irritation, oily skin that just feels too greasy for you, or simply prefer a gentler approach to skincare, natural, and organic products offer a soothing and effective solution.

 

Clean Ingredients, Clean Conscience

When you choose natural and organic skincare products, you can feel confident knowing that you're supporting brands committed to using clean, ethically sourced ingredients. Organic ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), ensuring that your skincare products are free from harmful residues that can potentially harm your skin and the environment. Additionally, many natural and organic skincare brands prioritize sustainability and eco-conscious practices, such as using recyclable packaging, reducing water usage, and supporting fair trade initiatives. By aligning your skincare choices with your values, you can make a positive impact on both your health and the planet.

 

Environmental Benefits

Conventional skincare products often contain ingredients derived from petrochemicals and other non-renewable resources, contributing to environmental pollution and habitat destruction. In contrast, natural and organic skincare products utilize plant-based ingredients that are sustainably sourced and renewable, helping to minimize the environmental footprint of your beauty routine. Furthermore, many natural skincare brands prioritize eco-friendly manufacturing processes and biodegradable formulations, ensuring that their products have minimal impact on the planet from production to disposal. By choosing natural and organic skincare, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support a more sustainable beauty industry.

 

Holistic Approach to Beauty

Natural and organic skincare is not just about achieving external beauty – it's about embracing a holistic approach to self-care that nurtures both your body and the planet. By prioritizing products that are free from harmful chemicals and packed with wholesome ingredients, you can enhance your skin's health and vitality while promoting overall well-being. Additionally, the ritual of using natural skincare products can be a mindful and indulgent experience that allows you to reconnect with yourself and the natural world. Whether you're applying a luxurious botanical serum or indulging in a relaxing herbal face mask, each step of your skincare routine becomes an opportunity to nurture yourself and cultivate inner and outer beauty.

 

In conclusion, the benefits of natural and organic skincare extend far beyond mere aesthetics – they encompass health, sustainability, and a deeper connection to the world around us. By choosing products that are gentle, clean, and environmentally friendly, you can nourish your skin, protect the planet, and embrace a more conscious approach to beauty. So why not make the switch to natural and organic skincare today? 

 

Your skin, and the earth, will thank you for it.

Look for organic moisturizers with mattifying ingredients like:

  • Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer for oily skin. It helps to balance oil production, regulate sebum levels, and prevent clogged pores, without leaving a greasy residue.
  • Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera gel is lightweight, soothing, and hydrating, making it ideal for oily, acne-prone skin. It helps to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and moisturize without adding excess oil to the skin.
  • Green Tea Extract: Green tea extract is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for oily skin. It helps to control oil production, minimize pore size, and protect the skin from environmental damage.

Dry skin lacks moisture and can often feel tight, rough, and flaky. To replenish moisture and restore hydration, it's essential to choose rich, emollient moisturizers that nourish and soothe dry, thirsty skin. Look for organic moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like:

  • Shea Butter: Shea butter is deeply moisturizing and nourishing, making it an excellent choice for dry skin. It helps to lock in moisture, soften dry patches, and improve skin elasticity, leaving it supple and smooth.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, making it an essential ingredient for dry, dehydrated skin. It helps to plump and hydrate the skin from within, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Oat Extract: Oat extract is known for its soothing and calming properties, making it ideal for dry, sensitive skin. It helps to relieve itching, irritation, and inflammation, while also providing long-lasting hydration.

As we gracefully journey through life, our skin inevitably undergoes changes that can manifest in the form of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. While the aging process is a natural part of life, it doesn't mean we can't take proactive steps to maintain a youthful glow and embrace our skin's natural beauty. 

 

At BBeautiful, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to combat the signs of aging and achieve radiant, age-defying skin. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of natural anti-aging solutions and share some of our favorite ingredients and products to help you on your journey to youthful vitality.

 

Understanding Aging Skin

Before delving into natural remedies, it's important to understand how the aging process affects our skin. As we age, our skin gradually loses elasticity and firmness due to a decline in collagen and elastin production. Additionally, environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits can accelerate the aging process, leading to the formation of wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone.

 

The Power of Nature

Nature has provided us with a bounty of ingredients renowned for their anti-aging properties, from hydrating botanicals to potent antioxidants and vitamins. Unlike harsh chemicals and synthetic additives commonly found in conventional skincare products, natural anti-aging solutions work synergistically with the skin to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate from within.

 

Key Ingredients for Youthful Skin

  1. Retinol (Vitamin A) - Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient known for its ability to stimulate collagen production, promote cell turnover, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Derived from vitamin A, retinol helps to improve skin texture and tone, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.
  2. Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to plump and hydrate from within. It also helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and restore a youthful radiance.
  3. Vitamin C - Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental damage, brighten the complexion, and promote collagen synthesis. It also helps to fade dark spots and uneven skin tone, revealing a more luminous and even complexion.
  4. Peptides - Peptides are amino acid chains that help to support collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin. They also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve overall skin texture and tone.

 

Age gracefully and embrace your skin's natural beauty with the power of natural anti-aging solutions from BBeautiful. By incorporating gentle yet effective ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C into your skincare routine, you can rejuvenate and revitalize your complexion for a more youthful, radiant glow. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and synthetic additives and hello to the beauty of nature. Unlock the secret to ageless beauty and experience the transformative power of natural skincare with BBeautiful.

Zits, pimples, comedones, and you-name-its. Struggling with acne can be frustrating and disheartening, but finding effective solutions doesn't have to mean resorting to harsh chemicals or prescription medications. 

 

At BBeautiful, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to combat acne and achieve clear, radiant skin. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of natural anti-acne solutions and share some of our favorite ingredients and products to help you on your journey to healthier skin.

 

Understanding Acne

Before diving into natural remedies, it's essential to understand the underlying causes of acne. Acne can be triggered by a variety of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, inflammation, and bacterial overgrowth. While conventional treatments often focus on drying out the skin and killing bacteria, natural anti-acne solutions take a more holistic approach by addressing the root causes of acne while nourishing and balancing the skin.

 

The Power of Nature

Nature provides us with a treasure trove of ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and healing properties – all of which are beneficial for acne-prone skin. From soothing botanical extracts to purifying clays and oils, natural skincare ingredients work synergistically to promote clearer, healthier skin without causing irritation or disrupting the skin's delicate balance.

 

Key Ingredients for Acne-Prone Skin

  • Tea Tree Oil: With its potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil is a popular natural remedy for acne. It helps to combat acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and unclog pores, making it an excellent spot treatment for blemishes.
  • Salicylic Acid (Derived from Willow Bark): Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates the skin, helping to unclog pores, reduce blackheads and whiteheads, and prevent future breakouts. Derived from willow bark, salicylic acid is a gentle yet effective ingredient for treating acne.
  • Bentonite Clay: Known for its detoxifying properties, bentonite clay helps to draw out impurities, excess oil, and toxins from the skin, making it a valuable ingredient in acne-fighting masks. It also helps to soothe inflammation and promote healing.
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Niacinamide is a versatile ingredient that helps to regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. It's ideal for calming redness and preventing breakouts, making it a valuable addition to any anti-acne skincare routine.

 

Our Top Natural Anti-Acne Products

  • Our Anti-acne Blend of lavender and tea tree oil. There is a never ending list of supplements and ingredients that you buy to treat your acne. But Inveda has the secret of Ayurveda to heal your acne. Its powerful & complex combination of 100% organic ingredients works fast on curing acne and evens out acne spots & scars.
  • Moroccan Argan Oil with vitamin E is a gentle, alcohol free, cleansing gel that purifies the skin by lifting and removing makeup, oil-based debris and impurities. This essential cleanser, refreshing and invigorating, is formulated with the calming action of Moroccan Argan Oil and Vitamin E. As it cleanses it softens and soothes while maintaining moisture levels in the skin and keeping it healthy.

 

Achieving clear, healthy skin doesn't have to involve harsh chemicals or synthetic ingredients. With the power of natural anti-acne solutions, you can effectively target breakouts while nourishing and supporting your skin's natural balance. By incorporating gentle yet potent ingredients like tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and bentonite clay into your skincare routine, you can enjoy the benefits of clearer, more radiant skin without compromise. Embrace the beauty of nature and unlock the secret to naturally beautiful, acne-free skin with BBeautiful.

When should you start using an Eye Cream?

Our customers often ask at what age should they start using an eye cream?

As a rule of thumb we always say that when it comes to skincare, the earlier the better. Many people start using eye cream in their 30s — when they start noticing the first subtle crease on the outer corner of their eyes — but even before you see a wrinkle, you can start as early as your 20s. That’s because the best results come from prevention.

If you have extremely dry skin, noticeable dark circles, chronically puffy eyes or other eye-specific issues, you want to take care of your eyes no matter what your age.

Do you really need eye cream if you use a facial moisturizer?

A lot of people wonder why an eye cream is even necessary in the first place. After all, can’t you use your regular moisturizer around your eyes? You can, but eye creams are specially formulated to tend to the skin around your eyes, which is very different from the rest of your visage.

The skin around your eyes is ten times thinner than your face. As you can imagine, that means it is that much more delicate, which means it can crease and dry out a lot more quickly. Plus, it’s that much more vulnerable to environmental aggressors (think harsh winds and UV rays).

Your eye-area skin does not enjoy as much natural moisture from sebum (oil). Oil, even though it might be a hassle for those who struggle with constant blemishes, is one of your skin’s best anti-aging features since it keeps your skin healthy and smooth. Your eye area doesn’t have enough of it, so it’s up to you to provide plentiful moisture.

Since the eye area is so fragile, it’s typically the first part that manifests the signs of aging. As we get older and all the wiser, skin in general starts weakening in structure. It loses elasticity (the quality that makes youthful skin “bouncy”) and collagen begins to slowly break down, which causes sagging and wrinkles. Not only does this come naturally with age, but both internal and external factors like hormones, weather/climate, pollution, smoking, poor diet and sun damage expedite these changes. All of these changes show on your eyes first.

Your eye area is in constant motion and endures a lot of strain every day. Think about how often your eyes move throughout the day. You blink around 10,000 times each day, and when you smile, frown, cry or squint the skin around eyes get “tugged” around. Let’s not forget all the times you rub your eyes, put on and remove makeup and insert contact lenses. Compare that to, say, your forehead, which pretty much get left alone all day as long as you’re not touching them. All these movements contribute to the development of the dreaded crow’s feet around the eyes.

What do eye creams specifically do?

Eye creams are specially formulated to deliver anti-aging benefits while respecting the delicate nature of the eye region. Since the formula is so close to the actual eye, they are created to ensure you get all the hydration and protection you need while minimizing chances of any irritation.

All great eye creams will include potent antioxidants, which are important to help defend your skin from expedited aging caused by UV rays and other environmental influences. Your eye cream should at the very least consist of a form of Vitamin A (or Retinol), which is one of the most extensively studied ingredients in skin care for its skin-renewing, age-defying benefits.

As I’ve been moving towards simplifying my skincare and makeup routine, I’m focusing more on what’s in the products I buy and how they’re made. However, I’ve found that it’s actually not so simple. There are a lot of terms that brands use when talking about clean beauty which become muddled, so it’s hard to know if what you’re buying aligns with your values. In an attempt to more clearly define what I’m looking for when I restock, I did some research to clarify some of the terminology around clean beauty. Here are some of the most common clean beauty terms and their definitions.  I know there are some of you that, like me, that appreciate knowing this.

Note that these definitions are what I have come to understand based on my own research. If you disagree with anything or feel I’ve got it wrong, let me know in the comments below!

Vegan

Free of animal ingredients. Basically, nothing in the product came from an animal. There are actually a lot of ingredients commonly found in cosmetics that are derived from animals!

Cruelty-Free

Generally, this means that the product is not tested on animals. PETA has a super useful brand checker to see whether they are certified cruelty-free are not.  It is important to mention that a product can be vegan, but that doesn’t mean it’s cruelty-free. These terms are not interchangeable, so it’s important to check a brand’s disclaimer to ensure its production processes match what you’re looking for.

Natural

From what I can tell, any product calling itself ‘natural’ is made with ingredients occurring in nature, like fruits, vegetables, oils, and minerals. It should not contain any chemical, synthetic, or artificial ingredients. However, many products that claim to be natural get away with it because they are including a few natural ingredients, but are still mainly made up of chemicals. The best way to ensure you’re getting a 100% natural product is to make research the brand and the product first.

Organic

This usually means that a product is made using natural ingredients grown or farmed without the use of things like pesticides, GMOs, and other synthetic or chemical products. It’s very similar to when you’re at the grocery shop and looking at organic produce. Brands should put the percentage of organic ingredients in the product on the packaging. Organic food products may be regulated by your country’s food industry, which is separate from cosmetics and beauty products. However, for a cosmetic product to obtain the organic certification, they must pass the regulations laid out under the food industry.

Clean or Green

Now we finally come to the term ‘clean beauty’. I’ve also heard ‘green beauty’ thrown around in the same context. I think this is quite similar to natural beauty in that products saying they are ‘clean’ are typically free of harsh or toxic chemicals. While there may be chemical or artificial ingredients, the brands have hopefully stayed away from those proven to be harmful and instead use ingredients with little or no negative impact on our bodies.  These products are generally made with the consumer’s health in mind.  Things like parabens, sulphates, and phthalates should not be found in Clean or Green products. 

Non-Toxic

Again, this term is very similar to clean or green beauty. Products purporting to be non-toxic should avoid ingredients that have been proven to have harmful effects on our bodies and health. My rule of thumb is that if the packaging lists a whole bunch of ingredients that I can’t even pronounce, it’s likely got some harsher chemicals in it. If you’re like me and you’re not familiar with the wide variety of toxins out there, you can search up the ingredients on the internet before you buy.

Sustainable

This refers to a product that is made in an eco-friendly way, both in how it’s made and how it can be discarded. Typically, the products and their packaging are one or more of the following: recycled, recyclable, reusable, or compostable. It can also refer to a company’s production processes having a lower impact on the environment.

Ethical

This one is still a bit muddy for me and can mean a lot of different things. On one hand, it can mean that the product contains ethically-sourced ingredients (i.e. that the ingredients were sourced in an environmentally-responsible way, the ingredients are certified fair trade, etc.) It can also be related to cruelty-free in that it is produced in an ethical way (i.e. not tested on animals).

At the end of the day, my goal is to ensure my vanity case (and that really sounds so vain!) includes only products that aren’t harmful to myself or the environment, and are made by reputable brands in a sustainable and ethical way. Knowing what each of these terms means when a brand uses them should help us determine where we draw the line and what products we invest in.

I hope you found this post interesting and informative!

Thanks for reading!

Aren’t you tired of swimming through hundreds of different face creams only to end up facing the same skin problems? A daily skincare routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen is vital for skin health, but skin damage can persist even with a good skincare routine.

Unfair, isn’t it?

If, despite following a skincare routine, your skin is cracked, red, or prone to frequent acne breakouts, take it as your skin’s way of telling you that it needs something more.

While a cleanser is responsible for keeping your face clean, the toner makes sure your skin is receptible to all the nutrients you provide for it. But a face cream does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to providing all the nutrients and hydration your skin needs. So choosing a face cream that works and provides the love and care your skin needs is extremely important.

Best Face Cream Ingredients For Glowing and Healthy Skin

Every now and then, there comes a wave of skincare ingredient popularity that unleashes a wild demand for skincare products starring those ingredients. But that wave often dies as fast as it rises.

However, every once in a while, we stumble upon a keeper.

Special mention to our beloved Vitamin C, proudly leading the ingredient-driven skincare industry of face cream for women.

Amino Acids

If you have ever attended a biology lecture in school, you would know that amino acids are the building blocks that create protein and are an integral part of almost all body systems. That means they are critically responsible for anything that happens on the skin level, too.

Interesting!

Amino acids are what bricks are to a house. Without them, your skin is defenseless against environmental aggressors. So when you go out to buy a face cream for glowing skin, remember that healthy skin is the stepping stone for glowing skin.

Benefits of amino acid in face creams –

Hydrates the skin

All our dreaded skin problems like excessive oil production, dryness, and acne breakouts stem from this one problem, the lack of hydration. We try so many different moisturizers hoping that they will help lock the moisture into our skin, giving us hydrated and supple skin.

So, we are trying to fix an internal problem with a superficial solution, these hydrators can help lock moisture for some hours, but they don’t hydrate your skin from within. So the issue is just covered, not fixed. Even the so-called best face creams for women fail to hydrate the deeper layers of our skin.

Whereas, Amino acid pushes the moisture through and into our skin, thereby hydrating it from within. Hydrated skin is resistant to frequent acne breakouts, dry and dull-looking skin. Hence, you must choose a face cream for daily use that not just moisturizes your skin but, more importantly, hydrates it internally.

Builds Collagen

One of the essential functions of a face cream is to strengthen the skin tissue and increase skin elasticity. Collagen is responsible for improving skin elasticity and stretch.

There is a plethora of face creams for women available, including synthetic collagen that helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It would have been magical if that worked, but sadly that’s not how either face cream or collagen works.

Our collagen-producing skin cannot absorb this collagen, but guess what it does absorb? Amino acids, and that too, quite easily. The relatively smaller size of amino acids allows the skin to absorb them readily. Thus, amino acids are a crucial part of the process of creating collagen.

So isn’t it wiser to choose a face cream for daily use with amino acids rather than collagen in the ingredients list? Do that, and your skin will start feeling smoother and firmer in just a few weeks.

Whoa! Now, that’s some valuable bit of information.

Accelerates healing

Perhaps the most remarkable quality of amino acids is their ability to heal damaged skin and decelerate tissue breakdown.

 

The most frequent complaint that men and women have about their skincare products is their inability to initiate improvement in their skin quality. As long as we apply the products, we enjoy the benefits, but our skin goes back to its usual condition once we stop using them. The reason being that these skincare products solely focus on treating our skincare problems, but they fall short in healing them.

On the other hand, amino acids play a vital role in increasing cell turnover (remove dead skin cells and regenerate new cells in their place) and heal acne scarring.

After you cleanse and tone your skin, your face needs an emollient that not only feels soothing but works tirelessly behind the screens to help you achieve healthy and glowing skin from deep within.

Find a face cream with amino acids that suits your skin, and you have hit the jackpot.

Argan oil

Argan oil has undeniable success in the hair and skincare sphere. Extracted from the fruit kernels of argan trees found in Morocco, argan oil is a nutrient-dense gem you must not miss out on. Traditionally it was referred to as liquid gold for its many medical, culinary, and skincare benefits.

Whether it’s a face cream for women or men, brands have often highlighted Argan oil for all its glorious benefits. And for once, they aren’t overselling – this super-rich source of fatty acids and vitamin E does live up to the hype.

See for yourself!

Benefits of Argan Oil:

Scar Treatment

Scars are the manifestation of an issue our skin is fighting on its own; it’s a cue for us to bring in super ingredients into our face care regimen.

What better than the Moroccan liquid gold itself?

The healing powers of Argan oil have been utilized by the local tribes of Morocco for centuries. The omnipotent antioxidant properties of Argan oil can help prevent scarring by regenerating new cells. It also deals with hyperpigmentation and scarring, giving you healthy and scar-free skin.

Acne healer

Even though it’s an oil, the non-comedogenic properties make it a great ingredient for acne-prone skin. It’s super light on the skin and doesn’t clog pores. It’s perfect as an ingredient in a face cream for daily use.

If you have acne-prone oily skin, here’s an effective daily skincare routine specially curated for you.

 

Best Face Cream for Glowing Skin

Neemli’s Hyaluronic & Oat Amino Acid Moisturiser is one of the best face creams for glowing skin. This face cream has not one but two super products that will boost your skin and leave it hydrated. At the same time, the oat amino acid works to strengthen your skin’s connective tissue and heal the scars, Hyaluronic acid pumps and adds volume to the skin cells. The dual attack from this light yet effective moisturizer will leave you with hydrated, youthful skin.   It’s a myth that you don’t need moisturizer for oily skin.

Our  Hyaluronic & Oat Amino Acid Moisturiser works wonders for oily and acne-prone skin. It’s light on the skin and non-comedogenic, making it the perfect choice for acne-prone oily skin.

Neemli’s Argan and Rose Day Cream is another winner on the list.  Loaded with therapeutic benefits, rose oil is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that helps moisturize and stimulate collagen production, while vitamin-E-rich Argan Oil improves water retention of the skin and helps balance oil production. Also blended with other skin-loving ingredients like Kokum Butter, Hyaluronic Acid, Sea Buckthorn Oil, and Caffeine, this beautifully textured day cream works to hydrate and brighten while stimulating skin cells and improving the skin’s moisture-retaining ability. It’s the perfect face cream for daily use.

Get ready to fall in love with your skin!

Conclusion

We spend hours on a stretch looking for the best face cream online only to end up buying a moisturizer that does nothing to improve our skin quality. It’s high time we start focusing on ingredients that can help solve our skin problems and improve its quality in the process. 

Instead of looking for the best face cream, look for the right ingredients to add to your daily skincare regimen. With Amino acids and argan oil, we have taken the first step in the right direction; it’s all supple and flawless skin ahead.
