There are quality ingredients and there are those that will dry out your skin. If you’re experiencing dry skin, here are five ingredients that will help you stay hydrated and moisturized. Coconut oil, aloe vera, monoi oil, argan oil, and shea butter are among the earth’s best kept secrets for skincare. Read on to learn about how including these natural remedies in your skincare routine will deliver the results you’ve been looking for.

Ingredient #1: Coconut Oil

If you are looking for a new way to improve your skin and health, look no further! Coconut oil has been used for thousands of years and has many nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. Backed by dozens of studies, coconut oil has been proven to boost your skin’s moisture and protect it from external conditions such as dry weather, allergens, and diseases.

Not only can coconut oil enhance your natural glow, but it also works wonders for your hair by nourishing your strands and strengthens it by reducing breakage. It has a high level of saturated fat, iron, and vitamins K and E which all help grow your hair at a faster pace. Coconut oil can even prevent dandruff and serve as an all-natural alternative to combating frizz!

For those who have inflammation, muscle soreness, or even arthritis, you have a hero at your side now – coconut oil! An Indian study published in International Immunopharmacology reported coconut oil contains high levels of antioxidants which can reduce arthritis side effects and skin/muscle inflammation. It also has fatty acids that your body needs to improve metabolism, hair, and skin health.

If you’re looking for the soft-to-touch look, we recommend using skin products where coconut oil is present. One of the oldest soaps in the world that’s enriched with coconut oil is the Liquid Marseille Soap. Freesens handcrafts the soap with more than 96% of natural ingredients according to the beloved timeless recipe.

If you are running around all day and come home stressed, coconut oil-based products can reduce stress and depression and can even instantly relieve headaches and mental fatigue! Coconut oil is also an ideal organic alternative for those looking to turn back the hands of time. Since it functions as a natural skin moisturizer, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as decrease the rate of aging through its antioxidant properties.

Ingredient #2: Aloe Vera

You may use aloe vera to treat your sunburn, but did you know it has other benefits? It has been known to have healing properties as well as vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids.

Your skin will not only be soothed, but also moisturized. Known as the “skin savior,” it’s essential to your skin’s health, especially if you have irritated or sensitive skin. If you have clogged pores, acne, or even damaged skin, aloe vera can fix all of them. It has both cooling and medicinal properties that are great if you have dry skin.

If you want to get rid of wrinkles, we recommend adding shower gels such as the Freesens Ultra-Moisturizing Shower Gel with Aloe Vera to your daily skincare routine. This shower gel provides double the benefits because it’s enriched with coconut oil and is handcrafted in France with all-natural ingredients. Products that have aloe vera will hydrate your skin and refresh your natural glow.

Skin that has blemishes and skin damage can be reduced with the use of aloe vera. This organic ingredient has vitamins C and E which are anti-aging. It’s been reported that it can even help speed up cell reproduction as much as eight times! This plant is nothing short of magical and can not only increase collagen production, but it can also increase your skin’s elasticity giving you a natural glow.

No matter skin type or condition you may have, aloe vera is a must-have ingredient that delivers fantastic results to give you the skin you desire.

Ingredient #3: Monoi Oil

By leaving your skin exotically cared for, monoi oil is a gift from nature. It has been used for centuries, comes from the Tahitian gardenia flower, and originated in Polynesia.

Monoi oil is an infused oil that’s combined with pure coconut oil, and although it’s different from coconut oil, they come together as a team to deliver double the benefits. The wonderful thing about it? It’s completely all-natural: it has absolutely no sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, or anything else artificial and synthetic.

Polynesian societies have used monoi oil to treat a variety of skin and body ailments and it has even been known to cure earaches, insect bites, and more. Monoi oil delivers amazing benefits such as helping protect your skin from the environment and other external elements, and it can be used for sunburns and rashes, and promote healing by keeping out bacteria.

This ingredient is a powerhouse of hydration, and we recommend it if your skin is feeling dried out. Shower gels and body washes with monoi oil, such as the Freesens Ultra-Moisturizing Monoi Oil Shower Gel, are the perfect addition to your shower. Monoi oil is also a great option for your hair: it can help moisture which makes your hair grow stronger, shine brighter, and have less frizz and split ends.

Ingredient #4: Argan Oil

Did you know women have been using an ingredient since 600 BCE? With a track record of success spanning over 2,000 years, argan oil, also referred to as “liquid gold,” is an ingredient you’ll want to make a part of your skincare routine.

Originating all the way from Morocco, the oil from argan trees has been in use for centuries because it’s packed with vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants, and omega-6 fatty acids – all of which are essential to make your skin and hair health easier to manage.

Its antioxidants protect you from sun damage, which in turn minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation and sunburn. If you’re tired of having dry and itchy skin, then argan oil is the choice for you. Its abundant supply of vitamins A and E deliver optimal moisture to the skin.

If you are seeing signs of aging – puffy eyes, wrinkles, and lighter hair color – we recommend including argan oil in your skincare routine. A recent study with postmenopausal participants found that argan oil helps with skin elasticity and decreases the effects of aging.

A 2016 study confirmed that argan oil can not only treat but also prevent stretch marks. This ingredient works wonders for delivering anti-aging effects, and we recommend it if you want to eliminate those pesky signs of aging. Body oils with argan oil, such as the Freesens Dry Oil with Argan, Almond, and Buriti Oil, are the perfect addition to your skincare routine. The driest skins and most damaged hair will be transformed by being repaired and nourished with this ingredient.

Experiencing brittle nails or dry, rigid cuticles? Then argan oil is the solution for you. Among all its other benefits, it can also help strengthen your nails and soften your cuticles. For those who suffer from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis, this ingredient’s abundance of vitamin E aids in soothing your skin and reducing inflammation naturally. And it does all of this while repairing your skin. You can even use the “liquid gold” to heal wounds and cuts, dry scalp, and acne!

Ingredient #5: Shea Butter

Here is a must-have all-natural ingredient to keep your skin moisturized: shea butter. Dating back as far as the 14th century, the shea tree originated in Africa. It has been used for its anti-inflammatory purposes and pain-relieving properties for hundreds of years. Known as the “Karite tree,” or tree of life, shea butter really delivers on its name: it gives life to your skin and hair!

Throughout the decades, researchers and scientists have thoroughly studied shea butter and its benefits. In 1979, scientists suggested that shea butter can alleviate nasal congestion. Unbelievably, shea butter reduces allergies, sinusitis, and even the common cold! Besides these surprising benefits, scientists also found those who used shea butter had a reduced number of dandruff flakes and had less irritated and itchy scalps. If you get stung by a bee or bit by a bug, shea butter can help with that too – it brings down swelling and helps soothe the irritated skin.

Whether it’s shower gel or body cream, shea butter is an all-natural ingredient that you’ll benefit from by adding to your routine. If you’re looking for moisturizing products, we recommend using those such as the Freesens Foot Cream with shea butter and macadamia oil. Featuring organic ingredients, it’ll soothe and nourish your feet through every season. With no parabens, foot creams made by handcrafted brands like Freesens deliver an easy way to care for your feet.

Besides performing anti-inflammatory wonders, shea butter is also impressive at soothing even the driest skin types! It hydrates, moisturizes, and exfoliates your skin. It can also fight breakouts, treat acne, and prevent clogged pores. Plus, shea butter has an amazing ingredient: amyrin. This part of shea butter has its own benefits that help boost collagen, minimize the signs of aging, and help regenerate healthy cells.

Amyrin is also a great anti-inflammatory tool for your skin. A study found that the amyrin in your shea butter helps your skin react less to irritants. Shea butter also has fatty acids which reduce redness and swollen skin.
