Let’s welcome to the family Ayur Herbals’ Foaming Face Wash made out of the goodness of sugarcane, orange, lemon, rice, aloe vera, cucumber and turmeric. Due to its high nutrient content, this face wash cleanses deeply, provides hydration, controls oil and brightens skin. Read on to discover the specific advantages of all of its ingredients!

● Sugarcane: Sugarcane contains glycolic acid, which is an AHA that removes dead skin cells and promotes healthy cell turnover. Flavonoids are a phytochemical found in sugarcane, which act as an antioxidant that protects the skin from harmful free radicals. The vitamin B-complex in sugarcane helps stimulate collagen production, locks in moisture and adds to the skin’s natural burier function while preventing clogged pores. Lastly, the vitamin C in sugarcane helps brighten the skin by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

● Orange: The citric acid content in oranges helps dry out acne and control oil, balancing out sebum production to prevent break outs. Additionally, the vitamin C content of oranges help control signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines, in turn increasing collagen production to get plump skin. Orange also helps keep the skin toxin free by exfoliating to keep infections and impurities at bay. It also locks in moisture for supple skin. Orange brightens the glow on your face by lightening dark spots, acne scars and uneven skin tone. Lastly, orange contains anti-inflammatory properties to help treat redness and inflammation.

● Lemon: Lemon is rich in vitamin C such that it brightens skin by lightening acne scars, dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Lemon juice has astringent properties that help control excess oil production, in turn minimising the appearance of pores and reducing shine. Lemon also has anti-bacterial properties that fight acne-causing bacteria, lowering the probability of breakouts. Lemon contains vitamin C and other antioxidants, which neutralise free radicals to make the skin look radiant and youthful. Lastly, the citric acid in lemon is a natural exfoliant which helps promote cell turnover and remove dead cells.

● Rice: The natural compounds in rice water - namely, ferulic acid and vitamin C extracts - act as gentle exfoliants and antioxidants, brightening your complexion over time. With its anti-inflammatory properties, derived from allantoin, rice water calms flare-ups such as acne-induced redness or sunburn without clogging pores or causing additional irritation. Rice water locks in moisture. This property stems from its rich mineral content and natural humectant features. Additionally, unlike heavy duty creams and such, rice water provides lightweight hydration that penetrates deep in skin.
 
● Aloe Vera: Aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory and coolant properties in addition to its antioxidant and mineral content form a protective layer on the skin, in turn retaining moisture. This also helps ease sunburn. Unlike other moisturisers, aloe vera doesn’t leave a greasy film on the skin, actually doing the opposite by unclogging pores and softening skin. Aloe vera helps the healing process; it enters the epidermis faster than water and speeds up skin formation - aiding in repair. Rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, E and beta-cerotine, aloe vera fights oxidative stress, leading to anti-aging effects. Due to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera helps increase the production of collagen in the body - improving skin elasticity. Aloe vera helps in cleansing gently, putting its antimicrobial properties to use to help reduce pimples without causing damage to the skin. Aloe vera’s content of polysaccharides and gibberellins help in the growth of new cells while reducing inflammation and redness. Lastly, the astringent in aloe vera helps reduce the size of pores while ridding skin of excess sebum, microbes and dirt.

● Cucumber: With 95% water content, cucumbers are a natural hydrating powerhouse. They resupply moisture to the skin, fighting off dryness and leaving skin soft, supple and refreshed. Cucumber is your perfect summer friend as it provides instant relief to hot, irritated and inflamed skin - calming inflammation and redness. Cucumbers contain anti-oxidants like beta-carotene, flavonoids and tannins. These fight off free radicals which cause pre-mature ageing and skin damage. Cucumbers also contain natural skin lightening agents that fade discolouration such as dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, consequently brightening your complexion. Cucumbers also have astringent properties that help tighten pores. Cucumbers detoxify skin by removing impurities and excess oil, in turn regulating sebum production and preventing breakouts. Lastly, cucumber’s cooling and anti-inflammatory effects reduce puffiness, dark circles and tiredness around your eyes.

● Turmeric: If you suffer from psoriasis, turmeric can help by killing off inflammatory bacteria. By reducing the skin’s inflammation, it can also heal skin by curbing bacteria that causes acne. Another benefit of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties is that it accelerates the skin’s ability to form new tissue. Turmeric’s skin brightening agents can help reduce the appearance of scars, dark spots and undereye dark circles as well. This property can also bring out your skin’s natural glow, helping your skin look naturally even and radiant. Curcumin found in turmeric stimulates collagen production, consequently making skin look more youthful. Turmeric helps protect against environmental damage by fighting the damaging effects of pollution, sun exposure and other unwelcome environmental irritants. Lastly, turmeric also resupplies your skin with moisture.
