Natural Skin Care Alternatives Are A Healthy Way To Save Face

Posted in Beauty on December 24th, 2010 by Tammie W. Neal – Be the first to comment

Protecting and caring for your skin doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals, thanks to a growing number of natural skin care products. The reason for the rise in natural products available is that more and more shoppers are demanding them. Natural products available now include plant based cleaning products, toothpastes, skin creams, and more. There are a variety of reasons why it is imperative to avoid toxic chemicals whenever possible.

The green movement has contributed a lot to the availability of Earth-friendly products. The research involved in bringing the hazards of some common chemicals has pushed people to make the “green” choice. Aerosols and plastics are some of the more commonly known eco killers, but there are many more. However, very few people realize that hundreds of other chemicals that are routinely used in daily products also effect the environment in many detrimental ways.

Take, for example, the case of Triclosan; this strong antibacterial agent is used in many different types of hand wash, sanitizer, and dish soap. This chemical is considered a pesticide by the EPA and is extremely dangerous to humans in large amounts. This product is used so extensively in home and personal cleaning products that it has slowly began to infiltrate the environment, all the way down to showing up in our food sources. Every time you wash your hands you could be rubbing your skin down with a toxin known to be dangerous to human skin.

Pollution that is caused by these harmful toxins is just a part of the large scope of issues that they entail. Toxic compounds like sodium lauryl sulfate and other culprits can have terrible effects on the human body with regular use. These chemicals are linked to several fatal diseases like cancer, and a lot of us use them every single day. This is the reason it is so important to find out more about all the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, skin moisturizer, and hand soap. Chances are that you are going to find out some pretty surprising information.

The truth is nobody would knowingly subject themselves to disease. Tons of products contain carcinogens and substances that can damage the liver, the heart, the nervous system, and so much more. We should all do a bit of homework before settling for the most glamorous or affordable thing on the shelf. Whatever you do, never take it for granted that something is safe just because it is available at your favorite shop.

Next time you are out browsing for a new skin care of cleaning product you should keep yourself and the Earth in mind. These unnatural chemicals and their various toxins have already infiltrated our natural environment in a major way. With a little bit of research and discretion you can greatly reduce the amount of toxins that you come in contact with everyday.

So many women want great looking skin but don’t realize that great looking skin has, by definition, to be healthy. Unhealthy skin just doesn’t look good.

So here’s my 3 healthy skin tips.

1. You can’t have healthy skin if you’re unhealthy.

Obvious though it sounds if you’re healthy your skin is healthy, you can’t have healthy looking skin if you’re unhealthy yourself.

So all the things that you read about in the get fit stay healthy literature have an effect on your skin.

You need to improve your diet, more fruit and vegetables. More water to drink.

And even though you might not immediately make the link between the two, regular exercise is also important for your skin. Why? Because it helps blood circulation and skin needs good blood circulation to be healthier.

2. Avoid 2 of the worst things you can ever do for your skin.

What are the 2 worst things you can do for your skin? Smoking and sunburn. Both are just terrible for skin health and you can’t have healthy looking skin if its burned to a crisp and you smoke.

3. Source the right vitamins for healthy skin and make sure you’re getting them.

There’s plenty of nutrients important for great skin health, and I won’t list them all here. One to mention though is omega 3 oils. You probably know about omega 3 already, but didn’t realize that it’s great for skin health too.

So how do you make sure you’re getting all the nutrients essential for great skin health?

You need to be using the best natural skin care products.

So why should you be using the best natural skin care products? Because big brand skin care products may contain ingredients that are suspect or dangerous to your health, and to your skin.

Science knows about a wide range of nutrients that are essential to great skin health, and the best natural skin care products contain these nutrients.

And the worlds best natural skin care products, as well as providing a wide range of essential skin nutrients, don’t contain suspect ingredients.

There’s no secret formula to great looking skin that is healthy and vibrant. Follow these simple rules and you’ll have good looking skin that will glow.

Stay healthy and your skin will thank you for it.

What In The World Is Functional Keratin In Skin Care?

Posted in Beauty on February 6th, 2010 by Peter Albertonach – Be the first to comment

If you are interested in researching a little about skin care and skin health it won’t be long before you start to read about the role of keratin in maintaining your skins health. But what is keratin?

You can find keratin in many parts of our bodies. It is a very strong protein that can be found in parts of our bodies like our hair and nails, and our skin.

It is produced in the epidermis of our skin by cells called keratinocytes, and these keratin cells slowly come to the surface of our skin where they form a protective layer of dead skin cells on the surface, and slowly slough off over time.

Keratin does some good things for our skin like providing some waterproofing qualities, but there are 2 functions in particular that are essential to skin health. Elasticity and strength and elasticity.

Both these are important for optimal skin health, and as our skin ages it starts to lose some of its ability to maintain its strength and elasticity and this is due in part to a reduction in keratin.

So it must be good to use skin care products that contain keratin to replace our skin’s stores of keratin? No.

You see the keratin that is used in mainstream skin care products is extracted from the horns and hooves of animals and is extracted using acid and heat. This results in the keratin being denaturalized by a process called hydrolization. Denaturalized simply means that its no longer of use to your skin because its form has been changed.

Now what is functional keratin? It is a form of keratin that has been extracted using a different process other than heat and acid and so isn’t denaturalized. It comes from the wool of sheep and is functional in the sense that it is still in a form that is of use to our skin.

It is only recently that this process has been perfected by one small company that makes it and has patented it. It is put into a product called Cynergy TK that is used only in the worlds very best skincare products.

Studies on the effectiveness of products containing Cynergy TK have shown visible improvements in fine lines and wrinkles on the skin and an improvement in skin complexion.

Cynergy TK is expensive, and so the big brand name skin care products don’t use it. But it is possible to get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK, and they aren’t more expensive than other skin care products. Why? Because the big brands spend their budget on advertising, whereas the small niche company spends it’s budget on product quality.

Big brand skin care products are priced to cover the cost of all their advertising.

So now you know more about keratin and what it does in the skin, and about what funtional keratin is.

I write more about Cynergy TK on my website.
