We all know what skincare products are. They’re products that are supposed to make your wrinkles disappear, and your skin younger.

But what exactly are “natural” skincare products, and what do they do?

Yes its true, skincare is all about making your skin healthier, and looking younger. This is done in a number of ways. In many cases it isn’t done at all, because many skincare products do very little.

But they’re marketed to make you believe that your skin will look younger.

Mainstream skincare companies make products that may or may not work well, however they have another problem. They often contain dangerous ingredients. Ingredients that may damage your health, and your skin.

This isn’t just confined to skincare lines. Many cosmetics can also contain dangerous ingredients. Ill give you one quick example, but there are many, and there are whole organizations set up to combat this.

Lead isn’t good to have in your system, but a recent study found lead in over 50% of lipsticks tested. Big brand names. See the problem?

There’s plenty more examples of dangerous ingredients in skincare products, cosmetics, personal and beauty products.  Read more...

There are many searching for organic skin care products. But what are organic skin care products?

What are they? How do you find the best organic skin care products? What is the safest organic moisturizer?

Every day women worldwide search words like these in their favorite search engine, and there is a growing interest in organic skin care.

There is no definition of organic skin care, and no easy way to really find out what it is.

What does organic mean? Search the dictionary and youll find something like this:

characteristic of, pertaining to, or derived from living organisms.

So the ingredients came from something living.

So that may help, a little.

As an example do organic skin care products only come from sources like farms that are “certified organic”? If so what about ingredients from products grown in other countries? What are their certification standards?

So what happens where an ingredient is used from a non farm source? There are excellent skin care products using a particular Japanese seaweed. The sea isn’t “certified organic” is it?

But isn’t the sea clean? No not at all in some places.  Read more...

You’ve become aware that many big name skin care products contain potentially dangerous ingredients, so you want to buy natural skin care products instead.

Perhaps you’ve decided to buy natural skin care products because you’ve also become aware that they actually work better than the big brands of skin care anti aging products.

Either way you ought to be aware of some important things before you buy. The Safety Of Natural Skin Care Products

But if it’s news to you that many skin care products can contain dangerous ingredients then I have to report that it’s true, sad though it may be. And cosmetics, and many personal and body care products too.

Here’s a quick example, though there’s many. A recent study of big brand lipsticks found lead in over 50% of them. Scary?

So as a result there are many women who are looking to buy natural skin care products, cosmetics and more to find products that are safe to use.

But is this really a good idea? You see there is no real definition of what “natural” means for skin care products or cosmetics.  Read more...

So you’re thinking what does it matter? The ingredients in natural skincare products don’t matter as long as the products work. I saw that exact comment on a skincare website recently.

I dont care whats in it as long as it works.

Why is there such a consumer movement towards natural skin care products? There seem to be 2 reasons.

1. That there is a slow realization amongst consumers of skincare products that there really are naturally occurring substances that are extremely good for your skin.

Theres now no doubt about that. In the past I have talked about Phytessence Wakame for example. This is a seaweed found in Japan that has extraordinary properties that are excellent for skin health, and this is one of the major reasons why Japanese women have such good skin. They eat the important ingredient.

A second example is Shea Butter, the oil from a tree found in Africa called the Shea tree. It is a very good natural moisturizer. There’s many more examples of naturally occurring substances that are very good for your skin and as good, often better, than the ingredients found in mainstream skin care products.  Read more...

Here’s 3 healthy skin tips. Because although there are so many women out there looking for great skin care products, what they are in fact looking for is healthy looking skin.

What you need to look and feel great is healthy skin, because healthy skin resists lines and wrinkles and other skin blemishes much more than unhealthy skin.

Healthy skin just makes you feel good about wearing it.

But so many women try so many different skin care products and other skin solutions without making the link. They never think that really what they are looking for is healthy skin. Because no matter how good your skin care products are you can’t have great looking unhealthy skin.

So here’s my 3 healthy skin tips.

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

It may sound a little trite but if you’re healthy your skin will be more healthy too. If you’re unhealthy this will show in your skin.

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

Improve your diet, drink plenty of water.  Read more...

The movement towards all natural skin care products is gaining momentum. And for good reason. And so many women who are new to this area of the anti aging industry are now trying to work out which are the best all natural skin care products.

Because there is a growing realization amongst consumers that our skin care products as well as our cosmetics and many personal and beauty products contain potentially harmful ingredients.

A quick example, a recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.

Its no coincidence that L’Oreal has recently bought The Body Shop, a huge seller of all natural personal products.

Now lets consider skin care. Firstly, what does “all natural” mean when applied to skin care? Well there is no definition of natural for either cosmetics or skin care or other products.  Read more...
