Skin Benefits

Sea Buckthorn Berry | Natural-Looking Glow

Antioxidant

Sea Buckthorn can be utilized for its antioxidant power. Rich essential vitamins protect the skin from free radical aging, even as a mild sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays. However, problems occur when free radicals run rampant in the skin, they cause problems. Specifically, they break down the skin's support structures, causing premature lines, wrinkles, and even the sagging, hollow skin that indicates age. By fighting these free radicals, Sea Buckthorn lessens the appearance of these signs of aging.

After-Sun Salve

UV rays wreak havoc on your skin after too much time in the sun. A Sea Buckthorn product can calm and soothe. It can also soothe burned skin and mitigate the redness and pain following too much sun exposure.

Skin Restoring

Though we rarely have an actual wound on our faces, we may have a blemish or a pimple that we could not help but pick at. Though, there is small scar. Sea Buckthorn works deep in the underlayers of the skin to deliver the nutrients our skin needs. In addition, circulation increases so irritants can be carried away.

Bronzing Treatment

Though not its primary purpose, Sea Buckthorn can enhance an artificial tan or create a natural-looking glow without going to a tanning salon or another chemical-laden treatment. In addition, because of its beta-carotene levels, regular application of this berry will naturally darken the skin.

Slow Dow the Signs of Aging

The rate of aging can slow down, though not permanantly. Using antioxidants and other nutrients to increase cell turnover and growth speed can delay the development of some signs of aging.
