Natural cosmetics have grown in popularity over the years, and for good reason. A good natural beauty routine leaves its benefits felt outside as well as inside the body. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted benefits of natural cosmetics, ranging from skin health to mental balance, and how these benefits are all interconnected:
1. The skin, a reflection of inner health
Taking care of the skin is important for balanced overall health: The skin is not simply a body covering. It acts like a mirror, reflecting the state of internal health. When we take care of the skin, we invest in overall well-being. Natural cosmetics are made from natural and organic ingredients, plant, mineral or animal by-products. These are rich in essential nutrients for the skin: they nourish, hydrate and protect the skin, thus creating a natural barrier against external aggressions.
The influence of natural beauty on mental well-being: The use of natural cosmetics goes beyond improving physical appearance. It has a calming impact on the mind. By using products free of harmful chemicals, the skin absorbs natural elements that stimulate the production of serotonin, a happiness hormone. This feeling of well-being has an impact on self-confidence and self-esteem, thus contributing to better mental health.
On top of that, the divine scents of Moroccan beauty rituals guarantee to captivate all the senses for a calming effect, including the sense of smell. Indeed, a body mask or a massage oil can have this effect thanks to the delicious scents of verbena, orange blossom, jasmine, oriental rose, almond blossom…
2. The relationship between the health of the skin, the body, and the mind
In search of balance in skin care: Skin health depends on balance. Natural cosmetics have the power to promote this balance while respecting the natural physiology of the skin. They do not disrupt the pH of the skin, do not dry it out or clog pores. By preserving this balance, they also prevent skin problems such as acne, irritation and allergic reactions.
In order to help maintain the balance of skin cells, cosmetologists today use natural active ingredients such as minerals to promote beauty. Some of these natural active ingredients extracted from rocks are part of beauty rituals, used by women since the dawn of time.
Indeed, Ghassoul, a Moroccan mineral clay beauty ritual, contains numerous mineral elements which each have a specific role in the balance of skin cells: Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Sodium, Phosphorus, Potassium. Magnesium has the property of stimulating protein production and cellular exchanges, while zinc ensures good skin elasticity by stimulating collagen synthesis. As for potassium and sodium, they contribute to good hydration of the skin. And finally, zinc is recognized for its sebum-regulating properties.
Minerals are essential for the proper functioning of our body. Integrating active ingredients that contribute to the regeneration and protection of the epidermis into the formulations of natural cosmetic products ensures the skin’s water content and promotes microcirculation.
In the Prodigia laboratories, this is our main value; our know-how is mobilized to guarantee the end users of our products total respect for their physiological and holistic balances.
The impact of using natural products on general health: Natural cosmetics not only improve skin health, they also contribute to overall health. Avoiding toxic chemicals commonly found in conventional beauty products involves avoiding exposure to substances that are potentially harmful to the body. This reduction in chemical exposure can lead to better long-term health by limiting the buildup of toxins in the body.
Indeed, ensuring better long-term health includes avoiding conventional cosmetic products which are more likely to harm your health. They may contain endocrine disruptors suspected of disrupting the hormonal system and can also affect a woman’s fertility. This is particularly the case for parabens, certain preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone, BHT, BHA, etc.
With the right nutrients, the skin, like the entire human body, has the ability to heal and repair itself. The body absorbs nutrients orally, but also through the skin (dermal route). Organic and natural skincare products are products whose ingredients work harmoniously with the skin’s sophisticated mechanisms. Thus, the largest organ of the body which is the skin, benefits from the extra attention and care it deserves.
