Good food for normal/combination skin

If you have this type of skin, you’re lucky. Why? Because you don’t need to worry so much about what you put on it. But you should still nourish it – here are some yummy foods.

Organic rosehip seed oil. Bright orange, unrefined rosehip seed oil is used to reduce scarring and facial lines, soften scars and retard premature aging. It is high in vitamin F (essential fatty acids).
Jojoba oil is a yellow liquid wax pressed from the bean of the desert jojoba plant. It contains a waxy substance, similar to skin sebum, which gives a silky smooth feel. Jojoba has excellent moisturising and protective effects; it penetrates deeply. It is useful for acne, eczema, inflamed skin and psoriasis, and seems to have some possible benefits in preventing hair loss.
Calendula is antiseptic and anti-fungal and contains hormone and Vitamin A precursors to help soothe, heal, and restore skin
Chamomile extract has counter-irritant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It is excellent for sensitive and allergy-prone skin.
Olive leaf extract is a unique anti-oxidant. It protects your skin from free-radical damage. It also reduces skin damage caused by pollution and UV radiation, therefore protecting the skin from photo aging. And it improves skin hydration and elasticity.
Lavender. The pure essential oil from the freshly cut tops of lavender flowers is useful for all skin since it regulates sebum production. It fosters the regeneration of new skin cells and soothes inflamed skin.
Marshmallow leaf has been used since ancient times as an anti-inflammatory to soothe and heal the skin. Its other name, althea, comes from a Greek word meaning healing. It is said to control oily skin and soothe allergic skin reactions.
Pink clay is softening, refining, and toning. Pink clay is intended as a maintenance program for the face.
Organic orange peel oil. The pure essential oil expressed from the peel of ripe oranges is astringent, antibacterial, antiseptic, toning and cleansing. Orange oil can cause increased skin sensitivity to ultraviolet light if left on the skin.
