Your Tush May Smell Like a Glade Candle, But if it Beats Cellulite...
Phoenix cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Jeanette Jacknin "wrote the book" on floral extracts as a skin treatment. Her new book is called Smart Medicine For Your Skin and just as this news segment shows, Dr. Jacknin discusses the potential these natural substances possess.
While she says lavender is the most effective, geranium and chamomile are among the other effective "power flowers." Conditions like cellulite, burns, dryness and acne rosacea can be treated with floral extracts. As she says in this video, "floral extracts are wonderful for the skin because they're natural, they're non-toxic, and complex."
Dr. Jacknin says botanicals are overlooked right now, perhaps due to a common belief that you have to pay a lot for some rare chemical treatment. If you really want to show your flower power and do wonders for your skin, do as the doctor says; mix the oils yourself. You'll enhance your creative imagination and your looks.
