Natural Skin Care

Archive for October, 2009

I’m looking for an all natural (no chemicals, parabens, preservatives) acne product that works the same /similarly to Differn. I’m ont Differin right now and it works okay but I’m looking to switch to all natural products.

**I researched/experimented for a long time and found this safe, natural cure was a truly effective way to quickly and permanently rid face of pimples, black and white heads, etc. It also reduces large pores and and completely gets rid of scars. See the happy answer from "Jasmin" below ##

Vigorous massage using essential oils works wonders – sweet almond, grape seed and, particularly rosewood, have been used by skin specialists to treat and cure acne. They do not clog, and they actually diminish skin’s over production of oil. Rosewood should be diluted with grapeseed
.
So as not to pull/stretch skin, first tighten by opening mouth 3/4" and pull lips firrmly back against teeth. Do a forward and back massage – not circular – using tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms – depending where on face you apply. For quickest results do for 15 to 20 min daily (Doesn’t have to be all in one session). Skin will start to clear and pores will reduce in as little as 2 to 3 days and see better results day by day. Scars take longer but can also be completely got rid of overtime.
My severe skin conditions started healing simply by stopping using skin harming products. I now only use a pure natural bar(tablet) soap with no coloring, no perfumes, no additives of any kind. Many moisturizers are harmful. Oils are perfect and safe, Natural moisturizers. They do not leave face oily. Do not remove – splash with water and dab dry with tissues.

## My advice? LISTEN TO MUKUNDA M!!! He knows what he’s talking about. I directly emailed him because he’s gotten so many Best Answers for skincare topics. I’ve been doing the oil treatment for a little more than 3 weeks and I can’t tell you how absolutely fantastic the results are. Seriously. You will not be disappointed"

I want to start using natural ,organic, not tested on animals and all that other stuff kind of products. All I can find is Tom’s of Main products, is there anything else? maybe something better?

(Tom’s is fine, I’m just wonder)

Thanks

Do you have a Whole Foods in your area? I get a lot of stuff from there. I like Zia natural skincare stuff.

Another thing I like to do (and this is really above and beyond) is make my own cosmetics. There are lots of websites that will tell you how to make your own mouthwash and stuff with baking soda, witch hazel, peppermint oil, etc.

I work as a manicurist partime and when i service my clients. i used some of the products that i make. I make body glow salt scurbs, using all natural essential oils and i use my own hand whipped shea butter as a moisturizer. When performing my natural nail care services and pedicure, my clients always rave about how good my products feel and ask about them. I have sold them to my clients as well, but i want to know if i should go all out and if this is a lucrative business

i definitley think that natural body care products is a great business idea because people want to know what they’re putting on and into their bodies.
i think it also really depends on where you live. for instance, i know you’d probably find a very favourable market out here in vancouver, bc. those kind of products are huge.
if i were you, i’d start within the confines of your work and your clients. perhaps give them samples that they can give to friends and family to try, and like you said, people are still raving about your product, start staking out beauty product stores and setting up appointments to talk to the owner or manager about selling your products in them. but i definitley think you’re on to something, and the sky is the limit.

here’s a link to the beauty bar

I have a short haired dog. She is constantly itching and the vet has confirmed that she doesn’t have fleas or mange. I only bathe her when necessary. She is getting the fish oils in her food everyday. Is there anything I can apply directly to her skin?

If she’s itching, she has allergies. How long has this been going on? Have you changed detergents, sheets, or bedding recently? It might be environmental. What food do you feed her? A lot of dogs tend to be allergic to grains and certain proteins like chicken. You can do a food elimination diet or take her to a vet to get an allergy test done. Avoid any food brands that contain corn, corn gluten meal, by-products, food coloring, nasty preservatives, and things you can’t pronounce. The first few ingredients should be meat or meat meal (i.e. chicken, turkey meal, etc). Make sure there aren’t too many grains (i.e. wheat, barley, oats, whatever) in the ingredient list.

Some great foods are:
Canidae
Wellness
Nature’s Variety
Orijen
Solid Gold
Timberwolf Organics
Innova
Innova EVO
California Natural
Taste of the Wild

You’re not limited to just egg whites. Whole eggs are completely fine. I feed my dog 2 raw eggs a week.

ETA2
I’d avoid cod liver oil. It’s extremely rich in vitamin A and it’s easy to overdose, which can be dangerous. Stick to pure fish oil such as salmon oil.

The truth about instant wrinkle removers may disappoint you:

There are none. Nada. Nowhere. They don’t exist, except in fantasy fiction and over-hyped advertising claims. Want your wrinkles to disappear today? You’ll have to hide them with good, carefully-applied makeup.

But the truth isn’t all bad. You can’t find true instant wrinkle removers, but you can find products that are great for healing wrinkles, work well and quite fast, and actually help your skin look smoother immediately.

In the right preparation, keratin is a wonder worker for healing wrinkles rapidly.

Keratin is a natural protein, a main building ingredient of the skin, hair and nails. There is a refined keratin ingredient which:

- Reduces wrinkles

- Promotes skin firmness and elasticity

- Reduces inflammation (that causes redness)

- Gives your face a warmer, creamier complexion.

The ingredient is called CynergyTK and it contains a trademarked refined substance called Keratec, or Functional Keratin, extracted from the wool of New Zealand sheep.

The ability to convert natural keratin into a functional form that is readily available to the skin is a recent breakthrough.

In most skincare products, the keratin is de-naturalized by hydrolyzing in rendering plants. Rendering plants are the source of that terrible stench you may have smelled in industrial and meat-packing districts. They use high temperatures and acid to change animal byproducts — hooves, horns and feathers, for example — into hydrolyzed protein. Like the sound of using this on your skin?

Keratec is made by a patented process using a gentle method called keratin solubilization. Functional Keratin is very similar to the basic protein found in human skin — and is highly effective in rejuvenating the skin and healing wrinkles.

CynergyTK stimulates the regrowth of collagen and elastin, both vital for healthy skin, and also stimulates the regrowth of skin cells. It contains zinc and copper protein complexes, both essential in small amounts for skin repair; they help to restore the skin’s ability to heal itself.

And here’s the closest thing to a REAL instant wrinkle remover: CynergyTK is a natural wrinkle concealer.

It reduces the appearance of wrinkles by forming an invisible layer over the surface of your skin. This seems to fill in fine lines and wrinkles — and the invisible film also refracts light, so your skin looks smoother than it actually is.

So even though true instant Wrinkle Removers aren’t possible, skincare products are available that are a big step toward the goal of healing wrinkles.

CynergyTK, with all its remarkable qualities, should be combined with complementary skincare ingredients to make the most effective skincare product.

Check my website for details on other effective ingredients, and recommended products for healing wrinkles.

From time immemorial the concept of beauty is associated with the physical appearance of a person. The term generally conjures up images of a beautiful face with flawless complexion and good physique. Skin care treatments date back thousands of years. Ancient Greeks where known to indulge in the care of mind, body and soul, with the body taking preference. We are fascinated to hear about beauty baths, natural skin care and other details of those times. To maintain the god-given beauty, we have to take care of our skin. What better way than to follow the natural methods and ingredients found in nature to achieve the most sought after aspect of human existence?

During early civilization skin care transcended gender. Both men and women took care through various methods of Natural skin treatment. The trend is fast approaching where people of both gender want to look good. Skin care treatment not only helps in maintaining the looks of a person but also produces a sense of well being and helps in rejuvenation of the mind. The fresher we look the more confident and replenished are we.

Skin care through natural methods is therapeutic.

A holistic approach to skin care can be achieved through Ayurveda. As the meaning of this ancient treatment lies in the `knowledge of life’ where health is a result of harmony, and illness is that of disharmony with nature, one has to strive to maintain a healthy balance between them. Known to have practiced more than 5000 years ago in India, it paves a path to acknowledge the dire need for it.

The practice of ayurveda has been passed on from generations. We can still hear our grandmother admonishing us to use natural methods to clean our face other than the chemical cakes, which we use in the name of soaps. Oil massage is still a favorite with most of us, as this makes us face the daunting tasks in this materialistic world of today. It serves as a natural `soothener’ and makes our skin radiant. Skin care is still a part and parcel of one’s life. Improper or negligent skin care results in premature ageing of the skin and turns it excessively dry and wrinkled. Proper diet helps in maintaining good health. With good health comes proper skin nourishment. Regular intake of honey and milk products helps in nourishing the skin.

As more and more people are turning towards fast foods, the idea of healthy food is fast diminishing. The culture with which we were bred has taken a back-stage with people vying to survive in this mechanical world. With alarming rise in global warming added efforts have to be taken to ensure a trouble-free life. Such drastic changes have an unending effect on our skin too. Many naturalists, however, have taken upon the daunting task to revive our ancient culture and tradition, which includes our health. As beauty is not only skin deep but also is produced from proper care of body, mind and soul, the need of the hour is to once again embrace the nuances of ayurveda.

The input is directly proportional to output. What we take in reveals its magic by allowing it to be witnessed on the exterior. In other words, a healthy lifestyle of exercise, diet and ayurveda proves to be priceless in the long run. So, it is high time we pack up all our synthetic products and turn towards the time-tested methods of gaining radiance back into our lives…whether it is internal or external. Beauty is not merely skinning deep but allows itself to manifest in the well being of one’s relationship with nature.

Even if a product claims to be natural, you need to check the ingredients to make sure you are actually getting the best natural skin care ingredients. Many consumers are becoming more educated on skin creams because they are tired of putting products on their skin that just do not work as advertised.

You need to educate yourself so that you avoid applying harmful chemicals to your skin. Most of the brand name products on the market today contain ingredients and preservatives that could be harmful to your skin. Parabens are added to some products to act as a preservative. Tests have shown that parabens can cause cancer. Fragrances are added and they can be irritable to your skin. A skin care cream does not require a fragrance.

Parabens and fragrances are not natural skin care ingredients. If your product contains either of these ingredients then avoid using these products at all costs. Now, you are likely wondering what skin care ingredients work and what are they called.

I will not use a product that does not contain natural skin care ingredients. One of the best natural substances used is called phytessence wakame. Most people have never heard of this. It is used in skin care products in Europe and the Southern Hemisphere. It is derived from a type of Japanese sea kelp. In fact, residents of Japan also use it in their diet.

Even though you will not find it in products in North America, it is available online from a high-end natural skin care company in New Zealand. In fact, many of their customers are from the United States.

The benefits of using phytessence wakame are impressive. It helps to restore the vital protein levels in your skin, which give it the texture and elasticity associated with younger skin.

You may not have heard of Cynergy TK, but it is another of the best natural skin care ingredients available. It is high in functional keratin, which is a vital skin protein that helps to restore the natural proteins in your skin. This natural substance is derived from the wool of sheep in New Zealand.

My website has more information on the best natural skin care ingredients used in the best skin creams in the world.
