Using Lycopene in Your Skincare

 
by Richard Moran

Which is better for your skin's hydration - Lyco-persicum or Lycopene? Lyco-persicum means "Wolf Peach" which is another name for tomatoes. Why would a product contain Lyco-persicum as a name for tomato rather than Lycopene, which is the actual healthful botanical that is derived from tomatoes? The answer is (probably) that just putting tomato in a skin cream is a lot less expensive than extracting the organic botanical - Lycopene - to use in its pure form. Remember the big cosmetic companies are all about profits to keep the stockholder's happy - if your skin is helped in the process that is OK too. Basically, with Lyco-persicum you are putting tomato sauce on your face, along with a bunch of other chemicals.

Natural botanicals are gentler and better for your skins' health. They work in harmony with you skin and its natural oils to help maintain the basic balance of elements for healthy skin. If you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin this is especially important. Any harsh chemicals can cause damage to the skin that is only repairable with plastic surgery. Most skin care companies start with water as a base - that should tell you the importance of natural botanicals in skin care. Unfortunately, they then glop it up with chemicals and ruin their base.

Let's look at some of the benefits:

It gently supports your skin's natural curing properties. It will protect the natural balance of your skins structure. Your skin needs to be soothed and lubricated regardless of dry/sensitive/normal/oily skin types. Natural ingredients will help to purify your skin and remove unwanted elements. They will promote a firm, vibrant looking, and healthful complexion. They protect the skin from harmful free radicals and bad elements in the air. Get your skin back to its strong, healthy, self sustaining base when you were younger. Organic botanicals support the self-rejuvenating nature of your skin.

The botanical Lycopene, when extracted from organically grown tomatoes has been shown to help will all types of maladies. In it ingested form it can help with blood-flow and blood pressure. In males its ability to ease the bad symptoms of andropause has been proven. Its direct positive effect on the prostrate has also been shown in medical studies. In pill form, it can help with certain cancers - breast, cervical and others general cancers. It has also been shown to have a positive effect on the eyes. Most studies proclaim its unrivaled positive value in skin care products when used in its natural botanical form.

When one single botanical can do all these things, why wouldn't you want to incorporate it into your skin care and diet. Putting anything natural on, and in, your body has to be better than smearing some chemical onto it. While chemicals are definitely proven to be helpful with medical conditions, the day-to-day maintenance of your skin and body is best left to the earths natural elements. Treat your skin and body naturally and it will have a long life of good service to you.
