Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? It’s also one of the most ignored, with sensitive skin problems affecting as much as 60% of the population.
While it might be easy to just reach for steroidal and antibiotic creams and ointments, these should be used as last resort options.
This is because they can interfere with your body’s other systems and even cause more problems for you down the line.
For everyday skin problems, you can keep these three products on hand and use them to help soothe your skin and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Keep reading to learn about how and when colloidal silver, tea tree oil, and coconut oil should be your go-to for your skin concerns before turning to more drastic measures.
1. Non-ionic Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver has been around since it was first used in 1891 to sterilize wounds.
An over-the-counter product, colloidal silver can be used on your skin to clean an area with broken skin.
This helps to prevent infection without the use of antibiotics, which can promote antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
You should look for a colloidal silver product that is non-ionic, to ensure you’re getting the full benefits of the silver.
2. Tea Tree Oil
Another great treatment for preventing skin infections, tea tree oil is known for its antimicrobial and antifungal benefits.
In addition to this, tea tree oil has been known to promote the healing of wounds and infections, which makes it a very potent part of your skin toolkit.
Because it’s so effective at killing germs, you can even use it as a hand sanitizer alternative to the common alcohol-based gels that can severely dry out your skin and compromise your skin barrier.
You can find tea tree oil at most drugstore stores and supermarkets, and can even use tea tree oil for other purposes, like an insect repellent and a natural deodorant.
3. Coconut Oil
An excellent moisturizer, coconut oil helps protect your skin barrier and can soothe irritated and dry skin.
Coconut oil has a high content of lauric acid and other beneficial acids like oleic acid that help kill harmful bacteria as well as promote healing.
This beneficial oil also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe inflamed skin and help to boost the effects of antioxidants.
When buying coconut oil, you should look for cold-pressed, virgin organic coconut oil, in order to make sure that you’re getting the most benefits from this moisturizing powerhouse.
You can use coconut oil straight out of the jar as a daily moisturizer for your body, hair, and nails.
