Chamomile isn't just great for fixing your insomnia. The miracle-working plant has a number of calming properties that are beneficial to the skin as well. The chamomile flower contains phenolic compounds that work as antioxidants, along with a significant amount of anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, studies show that chamomile is roughly 60 percent as effective as 0.25 percent hydrocortisone cream when it comes to treating eczema. Meanwhile, the levomenol in chamomile contains hydrating properties, so if you're suffering from dry skin, the flower can be a stellar natural remedy. Plus it eliminates free radicals, which can actually help slow down the aging process.
Chamomile enhances just about any type of product that it's incorporated into, and there's an abundance of skincare products touting chamomile as an active ingredient. From cleansers to moisturizers and masks, here is a list of the best products that contain chamomile!
