Natural Skincare Fights Aging AND Supports Skin Health
Monday, September 20th, 2010
By definition, natural skincare is caring for the skin using only naturally-derived ingredients. As the largest organ of the body, the skin’s health is an important subject. But, it is one that is often overlooked.
We often neglect our skin’s health. We use harsh cleansers and shower too often. We fail to moisturize and forget to wear sun block. We use perfumes and cosmetics containing allergens, irritants and toxins.
The cosmetic industry helped to change the way that we think about caring for the skin. Since the 1930’s, the companies have focused more on immediately improving the skin’s appearance. Caring for the skin’s health was an afterthought, if it was even a … Read Full Article

Hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and an assortment of synthetic fillers will stretch out wrinkles when they are injected into the deepest of the skin’s layers. The injections are widely advertised. They have different brand names. You have probably heard some of them.

A natural skin care routine can keep your face free of blemishes, healthy looking and wrinkle-free for years to come. The first step is one that you may have overlooked completely. It all starts with eating right.

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010
Who makes the strongest wrinkle cream?
That’s a subject of some debate, if you are speaking in terms of effectiveness.
A dermatologist would likely suggest trans-retinoic acid, aka Retin-A, which is now made by many companies.
A natural health expert would recommend against the use of that product, because it is a synthetic form of vitamin A.
Any health expert might recommend against it, because vitamin A is toxic in large doses. It would never be recommended for someone with sensitive skin, because it causes redness, itching and irritation.
One of the ways that wrinkles can be repaired is to induce minor damage. Lasers are used during in-office treatments and acidic creams … Read Full Article
