6 Superfoods that take your skin and hair care to the next level!
And they all have many powerful benefits!
Superfoods are not just for eating anymore. Did you know that you can also use superfoods in your skin care? Plants are making their way into high-tech skin care. From restoring skin through sun exposure, to increasing the skin's natural collagen production and reducing redness and blemishes, skin care is going greener, more specifically 'plant greens'.
Because organic plant material consists of the same vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes and amino acids as the human body, our skin absorbs them easily and passes them on to the rest of the body. Once absorbed, they can help from increasing collagen production and improving circulation to reducing redness, pigmentation and irritation and reducing visible signs of aging, leaving skin looking radiant and healthy.

3. Moringa
The moringa tree that produces moringa oil is called the "miracle tree," and for good reason: it nourishes dry skin, reduces redness and blemishes, and can reduce scars. Moringa oil mimics the skin's natural sebum production, so it is ideal for all skin types (even the most sensitive skin). It helps stabilize oil production for oily or combination skin and nourishes dry and normal skin long after you apply it. It soothes redness, evens skin tone, minimizes the appearance of lines and wrinkles and fights free radicals that cause premature aging.

6. Coconut oil
Asian countries have relied on coconut for thousands of years: the oil from the milk of the coconuts is used as an elixir for skin and hair. Coconut oil contains high amounts of fatty acids, making it one of the best natural hair conditioners available. It works from the inside out, as these acids bind to the protein in your hair and protect roots and strands from breakage, dehydration and damage. Because coconut oil penetrates deep into the hair shaft, more intact hair shafts make your hair look and feel fuller. Coconut oil is rich in antioxidants, nutrients and essential vitamins that all work together to improve the softness and shine of your hair. Vitamin E nourishes the skin, promotes hair growth and promotes a healthy scalp and shine. Did you know that coconut oil relieves dandruff, prevents breakage and split ends, and even reduces hair loss? Coconut oil is essential to make your hair strong, shiny and healthy!
