Skin Care Secrets
The Effects of Modern Life on Your Skin
Every day we are bombarded with chemicals in our food, water, bath & body products, clothing, the air we breathe and the environment we live in. Anytime we can lighten this chemical assault upon ourselves we should.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. What you put on it is absorbed into your skin then into your bloodstream and carried throughout your body. Everyone is rightfully concerned with what we put in our bodies, but isn't it time we also started to think about what we put on our bodies?
Good skin care products that do not contain chemicals or damaging ingredients are a Very good start on your journey beyond the healing horizon.
Something to think about
When you shower, the warm water open's the pores
in your skin. This, then, become's a permeable pathway for the absorption
of toxins. And if that was not enough, most of the soaps will emulsify
oil. This means there is no longer a protective layer on your skin.
Now, take a look at your favorite soaps or lotions and read the ingredients.
All commercial product's have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, SLES, Propylene Glycol,
and other chemical's penetrating into your skin.
Chemicals to avoid like SLS, SLES, Propylene Glycol and Parabens
(chemical preservatives) along with other harmful chemicals you
should avoid and what they do to your skin and body are listed in the
“Ingredients" section for your awareness.
Learn to Understand and Read the Labels
The more you know about the natural choices available, the better. When choosing a natural skincare product, always read the information carefully so you know what ingredients are used in the product. Give some LOVE to the skin you’re born with by using natural skincare products. Using natural skincare products is a great first step toward a natural healthy glow.
Generic skincare products cannot give your skin the care it needs. Only
the best natural skincare products can make your skin look and feel better.
So don’t wait! Make sure to take the plunge with the natural choice for
healthier, firmer, more radiant skin.
When you choose a natural skin care do you look for the word "natural" on the label? Seems like a good thing to see if you are trying to buy something with pure, natural ingredients, ingredients that come from nature, from Mother Earth. It should be a good thing but frequently that word on a product can be misleading. At present, a company might put “natural” on their label even if only one ingredient is natural while the other ingredients are synthetic and even toxic chemicals.
Perhaps you've seen a product claim "made with Shea Butter" or some other natural ingredient printed on the front of the container. It gives the impression that this is a natural product which it could be but you won't know for sure unless you learn to read the label and know the ingredients.
At this time, there are no regulations guiding the use of chemicals in skincare products. And since your skin is capable of absorbing 60% or more of whatever you put on it, I know you want to be sure that what you are using is a safe and natural skincare product.

What is Natural Skincare?
A Natural Skincare product is one where the ingredients come from natural sources from Mother Earth. Most importantly a Natural Skincare product is made without the use of synthetic chemicals, petrochemicals or other suspect ingredients and manufactured in such a way to preserve the integrity of the natural ingredients.
Why is Natural Skincare important?
Natural Skincare is all about caring for your skin. The problem is that our skin, the largest organ in our body, absorbs chemicals. This means we are absorbing and ingesting a large amount of chemicals found in skincare products each day. Scientific research may vary on the severity of damage that these chemicals cause, but one thing is for sure ~ it’s not natural.
From an issue of Alternative Medicine Magazine:
- 100,000 synthetic chemicals are currently registered for use.
- Fewer than 10% have been tested for their effects on humans.
- Increasingly these toxic chemicals are found in most skincare products.
Synthetic chemicals are a common ingredient in many of the products people use everyday. Chemical preservatives used to preserve a product and extend its shelf life is just one example. Some research has shown that the small amounts typically found in a product are not harmful. That may be true but what is of concern is the accumulative effect of the many different synthetic chemicals and their potential reaction to each other.
Since most of the synthetic chemicals have not been tested individually much less together the reaction is unknown. Why take the risk when you can purchase our natural skincare products today?
Our natural skincare products provide a solution to people who are seeking a gentler, healthier alternative for their skin care needs. Most lotions contain chemicals that are harmful to your skin and the environment Our natural skincare products can provide smoother, softer, firmer skin, and can actually help make the skin healthier with the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants your skin receives from the variety of oils and butters we use in our formulations.
Our natural skincare products are made from all natural ingredients that can improve the appearance of your skin and heal damage caused by sun, smoke, extreme hot or cold temperatures and the process of aging. The effects on the skin can be long lasting and very effective providing healthy, vibrant and radiant skin.
The same goes for choosing an Organic skincare product as with choosing a Natural one (just because the label say’s Organic doesn’t necessarily mean it is Natural). When you choose an Organic skincare product do you look for the word Organic on the label? Look at what the standards are for Organic in our full article. If you cannot pronounce a word it is not Natural much less Organic.
