What are the best skin care products?

Nowadays, the beauty world is growing with high-tech devices and cutting-edge ingredients, but when it comes to handling some of the most common Skin Care problems, newer isn't always better.

In some cases, basic natural options can be as effective as scientifically engineered solutions.

We asked experts to share the ingredients that are the best of both worlds-naturally based and science-backed.

Let me start with a basic natural option:

Coconut Oil

Benefits: Hydration, anti-inflammatory. There's growing science supporting the use of this plant fat as a topical skin soother.

Recent research shows that extra virgin coconut oil suppresses some of the body's natural inflammatory agents while making the skin a better barrier.

"Many people love coconut oil products to help fight dry, itchy skin and skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis," says Laurel Naversen Geraghty, MD, a dermatologist in Medford.

"Some of my psoriasis patients swear by overnight coconut oil scalp treatments worn under a plastic shower cap." But Geraghty warns against putting coconut oil on blemish-prone areas because it may worsen acne.

Gotu Kola (Also Known as Centella Asiatica):

Benefits: Wound healing. This ancient herb often used in Asian cuisine is now a part of modern skincare due to its wound-healing benefits, says Michelle Wong, Ph.D., a cosmetics chemist and creator of the Lab Muffin Beauty Science blog.

Chemicals in the plant boost blood supply to injury sites and strengthen the skin. Researchers have found that when skin injuries in rats are treated with Centella Asiatica, the sites showed higher healing.

The combination of amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and phytochemicals help speed healing time, making it a helpful way to treat injuries.
