How Helichrysum ‘Immortelle’ Repairs Scars, Sun Damage & Discolouration — RENEWAL Skincare
Helichrysum, often referred to as "immortelle" or "everlasting," is a popular ingredient in skincare due to its remarkable properties. It comes from the Helichrysum italicum plant, which is native to the Mediterranean region. It sits at the heart of our RENEWAL skincare line, designed specifically for scars, discolouration, and sun damage.
1. Anti-Inflammatory: Helichrysum has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
2. Antioxidant: It contains antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage, helping to prevent premature aging.
3. Healing Properties: The essential oil is known for its ability to promote wound healing and improve the appearance of scars and blemishes. Our Renewal Spa Mask harnesses this power in a concentrated treatment mask formulated for scars and discolouration.
4. Anti-Aging: Its regenerative properties can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating cell turnover and collagen production. The Skin Renewal Concentrate delivers this rejuvenating action in a potent, targeted formula.
5. Antibacterial: It has natural antibacterial properties that can help with acne and other skin conditions. The Skin Cell Renewal treatment is especially effective for discolouration and sun damage repair.
How to Use Helichrysum in Skincare
Essential Oil: Often used in diluted form, helichrysum essential oil can be added to carrier oils (like jojoba or argan oil) and applied topically to the skin.
Serums and Creams: Many skincare products incorporate helichrysum extract for its benefits. Our RENEWAL™ Face Complex and Aroma-Face-Therapy Moisturizer for Renewal both feature helichrysum as a key active, delivering its full spectrum of healing and regenerative benefits in a daily-use formula.
DIY Skincare: You can make your own skincare products by adding a few drops of helichrysum essential oil to your favorite carrier oil or unscented moisturizer.
Precautions
Patch Test: Always do a patch test before using essential oils to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
Dilution: Essential oils should be diluted before applying them directly to the skin to avoid irritation.
Incorporating helichrysum into your skincare routine can offer a range of benefits, but as with any skincare ingredient, individual results can vary.
