The earthy herb thyme not only looks lovely growing in a pot and adds depth to soups and stews, it also has been shown to have some significant benefits when its oil extract is used topically.
Skincare-News.com reports that thyme is a common ingredient in skin and hair care products for its ability to provide antibacterial and antioxidant benefits to the epidermis.
MedicineNet.com supports this notion, reporting that thyme extract may help soothe itchy or irritated skin.
These properties suggest that thyme may be an appropriate addition to anti-aging creams, since irritation and inflammation are known to accelerate the effects of aging.
Moreover, the herb's scent is so lovely it has been immortalizes by Francis Bacon, an English philosopher.
"Those herbs which perfume the air most delightfully, not passed by as the rest, but, being trodden upon and crushed, are three; that is, burnet, wild thyme and watermints. Therefore, you are to set whole alleys of them, to have the pleasure when you walk or tread," Bacon said.
Ladies who desire firm neck skin but don't want to turn to harsh chemicals or invasive treatment should consider the best neck creams that contain natural extracts to reduce the appearance of saggy jowls.
