In 2015 we saw a huge rise in the amount of superfoods used as ingredients in skincare products. I’m going to talk you through some of my favourite natural skincare products that have superfood ingredients and what their benefits are.
One of the first I tried out of this bunch was the Inlight Organics Superfood Face Mask (review). This mask packs a punch when it comes to superfoods and includes spirulina and baobab powder amongst other amazing ingredients such as sesame seed oil, beeswax, coconut oil and frankincense oil.
Last up in terms of facial skincare is this oil by Vedani Botanicals. The No 31 Moisturiser is a blend of beautiful ingredients in a base of hemp seed oil. It has baobab oil and chia seed oil amongst other oils that are ideal for an oily skin type. It’s really lightweight however I love using it in the mornings under make-up and also in the evenings with a light moisturiser over the top when it’s especially cold.
Onto some superfood body products…I was introduced to Coce Skincare fairly recently and they kindly sent me this Antioxidant Body Butter which has baobab seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, acai fruit oil and pomegranate seed oil amongst other oils and butters to deeply nourish skin. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins which work together to smooth skin and retain moisture. I simply scoop a small amount of this green-ish yellow balm from the jar, and rub into my skin where it melts into a lovely oil. It isn’t just limited to the body either, this butter can be used sparingly on the face after cleansing if you have dry or mature skin.
Have you tried any of these superfood products? What do you think of using superfood ingredients in skincare products?
