Well, this is understandable: traditional skin care recipes include many herbs with their pronounced beneficial properties. Nature does not deprive anyone. It gives us herbs that help care for dry or oily skin, have an antiseptic, smoothing, stimulating, soothing, nourishing (and so on, and so on) effect. It helps with the help of medicinal herbs to cope with the problems of oily skin, stop the rapid aging of dry skin and prolong the natural beauty and youth of the most normal and problem-free skin. By the way, herbs, or rather their extracts and infusions, are actively used in the cosmetology industry. They are used to make a wide range of care products, from traditional creams to newfangled serums.

Where to get the herbs for the face?

It is possible, of course, to urgently organize a landing party inflooded flowering meadows or rush to search for medicinal herbs in the impassable forest wilderness. You can contact local herbalists, but only if you are absolutely sure that they do not collect their herbs along the nearby highway or in the backyards of the neighboring chemical plant. But there is an easier way out: buy ready-made natural cosmetics or useful herbal infusions. By the way, the ever-increasing popularity of natural cosmetics and medicinal herbs is explained not only by their beneficial properties. Today, these magical products can be purchased in specialized stores or pharmacies. And what is interesting is that you can find both the herbs themselves for the face and various products made on their basis: lotions, masks, creams, gels, tonics, tinctures, infusions, ointments, teas. Considering our not entirely favorable environmental situation, ordering medicinal herbs by mail is often the only possible option to purchase truly rare and truly useful types of herbs. Moreover, herbs collected in truly ecologically clean areas. And if such cosmetics or herbs you need are not sold within walking distance, then perhaps it is really worth using the services of online stores. True, to be sure, you need to make sure of the seller's impeccable reputation. However, we do not urge you to rush to search for potential saviors of the youth and beauty of your skin. Perhaps there is a chance to do without such material sacrifices (after all, natural cosmetics are not a cheap pleasure). After all, our ancestors managed to do without industrial cosmetics. But in any case, when deciding to buy herbs or herbal cosmetics for yourself, you need to find out what type of skin you have (dry, oily, normal or combination). And if you have already figured everything out, then you should figure out which herbs are good for your skin.
