Known for its soothing properties, this beautiful yellow flower contains carotenoids which are high in antioxidants and can help prevent premature aging of the skin. Calendula has antiseptic, anti fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, and that makes it an excellent choice to use on your skin!
I put it in both O My Goddess Herbal Face Cream as well as the Herbal Salve. I have had so many good reports of people who use Herbal Face Cream, it seems to make one glow older rather than grow older! I have had reports of it reducing redness, and even those with mature skin that start using it on their face notice a difference within a short amount of time. Perhaps that is because calendula increases circulation and bring more oxygen to the skin that can help promote new cell growth
I received a great letter last week from a happy customer who said:
"I've been using it for two weeks now and my skin is positively glowing and gorgeous"
And as far as the salve goes, over the years people have reported good results using it on dry irritated itchy or red skin. From diaper rash, eczema, hemorrhoids and everything in between. Here is what one person wrote to me last winter:
"So, it's cold and blowing here this weekend and my hands have been taking a beating this winter. They have been saved by your healing salve though. I put it on again last night at bedtime and my hands are nice and soft this morning. I don't use it every night, I save it for emergencies. The other hand creams are barely maintaining my hands though so I have been using the healing salve as a preventative as well as a cure. Good stuff!! Thank you!"
Calendula is doing such good work in this world! I hope some ends up in your hands soon!
