Great
Skin, Naturally!
Nowadays, there seems to be such a variety of skincare products
available to us, which claim to have the latest discovery in
creating a flawless complexion. Pay X amount of dollars for
this miracle cream and it will magically erase all of your
skin’s imperfections. Unfortunately, the majority of these
products are loaded with plenty of toxins, which may
contribute to certain forms of skin allergies, sinusitis and
even possibly be carcinogenic.
When you make a purchase, make sure you don’t buy items because
they smell good, come in pretty colors or have unique
packaging. Try to remember that the products you purchase will
be applied to your skin, which is your body’s largest organ.
Avoid making the mistake, of assuming that the skin forms an
impenetrable barrier to chemical substances. The layers of our
skin are open to penetration and passage of synthetic
substances into our bodies. It is a tragedy that American
consumers are used involuntarily as test subjects for
ingredients and thousands must suffer adverse reactions before
these substances, are taken off the market.
If you are searching for completely natural, skin care products,
you will definitely have a hard time finding them available on
the commercial market. One of the main reasons is that
commercial products contain synthetic preservatives, which
help maintain their shelf life for about two to three years.
Without some type of preservative, microorganisms would
multiply freely within products, and create horrible side
effects (such as skin allergies or even blindness). However,
synthetic ingredients are cellular toxins and have caused
allergic skin reactions and dermatitis.

Fight
Naturally
...Within
Achieving a healthy skin is not always
determined by what you apply topically to your skin. An
important component is what you take internally. We live
in an environment where we are bombarded constantly by
chemicals in the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the
water we drink.
The way your skin looks reveals a great deal about what is going on
inside your organs, tissues and cells, and about the way
you live and think. Loss of skin tone and elasticity, skin
dryness, oiliness, sallowness, undereye puffiness,
breakouts and premature skin aging reflect the condition
of each cell and the quality of the nutrients each cell
receives. You can have a healthy and young skin at any
age. To obtain optimal results, you must combine natural
skin therapy “from the inside out”, with the
appropriate skin treatments on a daily basis.
To determine the right skin care regimen for yourself, you will
definitely have to focus on the proper treatments for your
skin type and choose those you enjoy the most.
Personalization is the key. Try to remember though, as
your skin or environment changes, so should your skin care
treatments. The only way you are going to be able to
maintain the true beauty of your complexion is to treat it
appropriately. Three simple steps ----Cleansing, toning
and moisturizing twice a day, every day --- will help keep
your skin healthy and protect it from the stresses of
daily life.

the best!

oatmeal and mill( or water) makes a great cleanser.Wheat germ is high in protein, vitamin E and B, which makes this
ingredient nourishing, soothing and helpful in preventing free
radical damage. It’s very slight granular texture, gives a
sensitive or dry skin a wonderful, gentle exfoliation.
Organic fruits and vegetables, when applied to the skin, can either
have a lyposolvant, stimulating, vitalizing, or soothing
effect locally. Prior to using these natural ingredients, make
sure you understand their individual actions, so that way you
can use the ones most appropriate for your skin care regimen.
Organic milk, sour cream, and yogurt all contain lactic acid, a
natural alpha hydroxy acid that helps the skin exfoliate dead
skin cells away from the surface of the epidermis. These items
are also very hydrating and soothing to the complexion,
especially during the colder months of the year.Organic honey
is a wonderful humectant (retains moisture) and is great for
any skin type.
Fresh aloe vera gel,
straight from the plant is hydrating, soothing, detoxifying,
and helps to prevent or reduce the appearance of scar tissue.

reduces the irritation of bug bites. A live aloe plant is a
great attribute to any home.
