As the largest organ of the human body, our skin plays a crucial role in protecting our body against external forces from the outside world. As an interface to the environment, it is also responsible for our body’s temperature regulation, sensation, and the storage and synthesis of vitamin D. Unfortunately, many of the external factors that our skin protects us from have, in turn, an impact on the skin itself. Herbs and plants have the ability to support and facilitate our skin’s natural powers by activating skin cell regeneration and inhibiting allergic reactions. On top of that, they can be a gentle alternative to improve acne, heal warts and have a cooling effect after a sunburn.
