Choosing Organic Natural Skin Care Without Breaking the Bank

on Jul14 2011

Organic natural skin care treatments are becoming increasingly popular and increasingly easy to find. It is still important to do a little comparative shopping before you decide what to buy. It could save you money and save you from an embarrassing adverse reaction.

As far as price goes, you may have already noticed that organics cost more than conventional fruits and vegetables. Choosing organics is sometimes very important. But, sometimes it’s not important at all.

Avocados are an example of conventionally grown fruits that carry no risk. The only portions that could be treated with pesticides are the skins. The skins are thick. We do not consume them and they are not used in skincare products.

Only the nutritious pulp is used. There is no risk that the pulp will contain pesticides. So, there is no reason to pay extra for organic avocados.

Kelp is a food that is also used in some of the better skincare products. Wakame kelp is particularly beneficial as an anti-aging ingredient.

Kelp is seaweed. Growers are not allowed to use pesticides on seaweed and there is no reason to do so. The ocean provides natural protection against bugs and the weeds are prolific. They grow fast and require little, if any, tending.

So, you shouldn’t have to pay a lot for an organic natural skin care cream containing avocado or wakame extracts. Companies sometimes charge extra just because they claim to include organics. The only way to really be sure is to buy from a company that you trust, but comparing prices will give you an idea of who is overcharging and who is not.

When it comes to the oils included in organic natural skin care products, you want to look for cold-pressed varieties. Chemical solvents can be used to extract oils from grape seeds, Shea nuts and olive pits. Cold pressed varieties are extracted mechanically. No chemical solvents are used.
Cold pressed olive oil is referred to as extra virgin. In other cases, the label or the manufacturer’s information will simply indicate that the oils are cold pressed.

Since the oils come from seeds, pits or nuts, there is no reason to pay extra for so-called organics. If pesticides were used, there would be no way they could end up in the oils.

Honey is often included in organic natural skin care cleansers, night creams, body lotions and eye gels. The risk of chemical contaminants in honey is a real one. As bees gather pollen, chemicals stick to their legs and are carried back to the hive where they end up in the comb.

Finding out where the honey comes from is helpful. If the hives are located in heavily populated and polluted locations, there is no way a company can ensure that it is not contaminated.

Natural Skin Care

on Jul13 2011

Natural skin care is not something modern, in fact it is the most basic skin care methods known to men, a long time before we were watching television commercials that showed us elaborate scientists explaining how their new formula had made a breakthrough in skin research and skin care humans have been using the things that grow around them as remedies for skin problems and found many herbs and plants that helped the skin to look better, younger and healthier.

It is not surprising that most of the people on earth will be more suspicious of a chemical product that has been developed in laboratories and tested on animals time and time again, while science has made human life what it is today it is still fighting many battles with understanding the way that the skin works and the needs of the human skin, not to mention the features and qualities that human skin has.

The need for skin care products is on the rise and that is a direct result of more and more people in the world have problems with the effects the chemical skin care products, while it is true that many others enjoy the same chemical skin care products there are many others that have serious problems with it.

The battle for a better skin in fact a fight to balance and nurture the skin, the human skin is effected from its environment, and the modern life has also a heavy toll on the health of our skin, the products that are on the market for skin care are in fact balancing products that aim to restore the main qualities f the skin and strengthen it in order to protect it from the damage that is inflicted on it daily. The advantage to the natural skin care products is that the scientists that make these products do not use any chemicals so the risk that the person using the product will be sensitive to it is relatively low, even though there are some people who are extremely sensitive and can not use even a natural and non chemical skin care products, but these are very rare in the population.

The ingredients used in natural skin care are taken for the natural world, you can find many different kinds of flowers like lavender and the cedar wood, the use of honey and oats of different kinds is also common among the natural skin care products, the researchers search every organic product for its potential qualities and apply them to the skin, sometimes creating a sort of cycle in which products that are generally considered foods are used to nourish the skin and protect it.

Skin care is a very delicate matter, it is important that we use efficient products that will protect and nourish our skin, there are many products on the markets around the world, but it seems that the natural skin care option is growing bigger with time, it is only natural that many of us will try the natural solution for our skin care needs.

Try oil cleaning for natural skincare

on Jul5 2011

It may sound counter-intuitive, especially if you have dry skin, but the best way to get oil out of your skin is by putting oil on your skin. Your skin actually needs oil to be healthy. Without natural oils, your face gets inflamed, dry or pimply or becomes a bed of blackheads. All the soaps and cleansers you buy and pummel your face with to remove oiliness only serve to increase the defensive oil-production by your body. You end up in a losing battle against nature.

On the other hand, by using the right oils before steam-cleansing, you`ll help the pores in your face to relax and release any blockages. This will allow a natural and purifying flow of your body`s own, natural skin oils to pour forth.

Experiment until you find the oil combination that gives you the best results. One popular oil cleansing recipe is castor oil and either extra-virgin olive oil or sunflower seed oil. Castor oil (paradoxically) can serve to dry your skin, so mix up to 30 percent castor oil with the olive oil if you have oily skin and down to 10 percent for dry skin. If you like, try mixing in green tea extract or tea tree oil.

Here`s how to give your face that healthful oil massage:
Blend all your ingredients well in a bottle. Pour a sink full of warm to hot (but not scalding) water before starting your facial massage.

2. Starting dry-faced, warm some oil by rubbing it between your palms, and begin gently but firmly to massage the oil into your skin using circular motions.

3. Be careful around your eyes, and don`t forget (especially women) to continue the cleansing right on to your throat and down your neck.

4. After several minutes, soak a soft washcloth in the hot water and drape on your face, gently patting and lifting the now-dirty oil layer away, along with the impurities.

5. Go over your face with this mini steam bath until you feel your pores and skin are relaxed, refreshed and clear.

6. Some recommend then blotting your clean face with a cool towel to close the pores again.

Frequency of the therapy depends on your preferences and your skin type. But whatever you do, be gentle with your skin and don`t use scalding shower water and soap on your face, or you`ll undo all the benefits of the deep, gentle, restorative cleansing your face just received.
