Food and cosmetics are becoming more intertwined this year to keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant. Probiotics, super fruits and green tea are the three booming ingredients that are making its way into our beauty products. Pierce Mattie has already predicted that probiotics were making a big impact in the cosmetic industry, and they most definitely are. Probiotics are essentially dietary supplements that are live organisms (in forms of bacteria) that contain potentially healthy ingredients. Probiotics strengthen your immune system and help with stress, which can help with anti-aging.
Recently, Clinique teamed up with Allergan- a health care company (noted for Botox cosmetic) just launched a probiotic cleanser under the Clinique Medical line that is used before and after non-surgical cosmetic procedures that can be ordered by your physician. This new line of products are suppose to strengthen your skin, minimize discomfort and unintended effects after surgery. The collection also has a treatment for the effects of certain prescribed medications that leave skin dry.
Super fruits are also making their way into cosmetics. Super fruits are enriched with vitamin C and high in anti-oxidants. Fruits such as baobab are found in hair products and are known for adding great shine to hair. Super fruits are also found in anti-aging skin care products and has skin restorative benefits. Tarte currently has a line of products that combines five super fruits together to make a great healthy product.
Green tea is all in rage right now with all of the health benefits it provides. Green tea is no different in cosmetics and is known to be effectively absorbed through your skin, which is why many face creams have been using green tea as an ingredient. CoverGirl and Aveeno have a lot of great products with green tea in them.
Healthy is always the way to go, even when it comes to makeup. Will you be buying healthy products this year?
