History has proven that proper skin care has been dated back to the beginnings of mankind. Especially herbal skin care.

Modern technology has allowed skin care to transform in a huge manner. Natural skin care treatments have been taken over by chemical and or synthetic based skin care treatments.

Rapid advancement in chemical processes and mass production has all but eliminated the once common herbal skin care treatment remedies.

The change to chemical skin care from herbal can be blamed on our lack of knowledge, laziness and to the mass production of skin care.

Even herbal skin care products have been commercialized. These commercial herbal skin care products have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life, hence making them less effective than the fresh ones made at home.

However, it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for natural and herbal skin care routines.

Even though we have the knowledge and understanding of the benefits of homemade herbal skin care treatments, the majority of us still opt to purchase products from the commercial market rather than make them ourselves.

Aloe Vera, which is an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples of herbal skin care product.

A natural moisturizer, aloe Vera is perfect for dealing with cuts and burned skin. A piece of freshly cut aloe plant releases aloe Vera which has an amazing power to refresh the skin.

Along with Aloe, dandelion, chamomile, and rosemary are also known to possess healing elements. They are considered to be most effective when they are used in combination with various teas.

Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care. Lavender, marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also form good toners.
