Is your skin easily irritated?
Does it turn red or start to sting, no matter what you put on it?
If you’ve answered yes, meet your new BFF: Allantoin.
I’m not sure how allantoin has managed to avoid the spotlight for all this time. It’s a true multi-tasker that penetrates deeply to repair the look of skin’s texture for a smooth, clear and moisturized complexion. It can nurse even the driest, roughest, most sensitive of skin types back to health again – and keep it that way.
While you may be tempted to dismiss ingredients that you’re not quite familiar with, you definitely shouldn’t do this with allantoin. Here’s why…
What Are The Skincare Benefits Of Allantoin?
- Soothing – Allantoin has anti-inflammatory properties that calm down irritated skin, sooth redness, and reduce itching. Best part? It is gentle and so well tolerated for even the most sensitive skin types.
- Retains Moisture – Recharges dehydrated skin by helping to retain moisture. A great fix for dry, rough skin.
- Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells – Allantoin softens keratin, the protein that holds the layers of skin cells together. By breaking up these connections between skin cells it makes it easier for the skin to shed them away.
- Accelerates Wound Healing – Allantoin stimulates new tissue growth. So, if you ever scrape or burn your skin this can help speed up wound healing
With all these benefits in mind I have started using Lemongrass Spa’s Overnight Glow Mask. This product was first introduced in one of our Bliss Boxes – Fan Favorites along with exclusive items we get to test out to see if they will make the cut into the next catalog. Well, this little gem made its way back and is Here for the month of January! AND, it’s $10 off!
This Overnight Glow Mask is a quick absorbing cooling gel that not only contains Allantoin but also Hyaluronic Acid (which helps retain moisture), Turmeric (to brighten skin tone and reduce redness), & soothing plant extracts that penetrate deeply to repair the look of skin’s texture for a smooth, clear and moisturized complexion.
So whether you’re dealing with dryness, roughness, dullness, sensitivities, or even wrinkles, allantoin can help. It’s a fabulous multi-purpose ingredient, and there really aren’t many of those out there. While allantoin may not be as well-known as some of the more famous skincare superstars, it’s an ingredient that I would definitely recommend seeking out.
