Look for these healthy features in your product purchases:
•Water free
•Products specifically designed for the eye area
•Plant based products
•Oil free
•Soap free
•Dermatology tested
•Won’t clog pores
•Not tested on animals
•No animal derived ingredients
Avoid these ingredients in your product purchases:
•Animal derived ingredients/testing
•Avobenzone – preservative found in sunscreens that decomposes when exposed to UV light
•Oils – mineral and vegetable – moisture sealants – block skins natural oils
•No soap – high alkaline – often animal derived
•No isopropyl palmitate – guaranteed to induce black heads
•No propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, or sodium laureth sulfate – these ingredients are questionable – carcinogenic
•No dyes – not necessary in any product – can irritate skin
•No DEA – common foaming agent – currently under investigation by the NTP (National Toxicology Program)
•Fragrances other than those that are hypoallergenic
Finally, I developed systemic candida and severe allergies to fragrances - I believe the preservatives listed below were part of what contributed to my ill health
•No imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, quartnium 15 – common preservatives that “out gas” releasing formaldehyde – sensitivity to formaldehyde is on the rise – may provoke auto immune response
ACNE
Acne can have a genetic component
All adolescents experience some form of acne in their teenage years
50% of all adults suffer from this persistent condition
Acne is a complex cycle of events…
I sourced this from a field plant based anti-aging skin care document.
I found it absolutely faascinating.
After reading this it makes one want to wash your face, doesn’t it?
1. Begins with the sebaceous gland ( found at the bottom of the hair follicle) this gland produces an excess of sebum
2. This natural skin oil travels up the hair follicle and spreads on the skin’s surface – the result sometimes is merely oily skin
3. The sebum becomes degraded from the ever present microorganisms – as the sebum continues to degrade the chemical byproduct this causes skin cells lining the hair follicle to fall off – The sebum and shedded skin cells create a plug at the opening of the hair follicle or pore
4. If the plug does not completely block the pore it becomes darkened – known as a blackhead
5. If the plug is completely blocked and no air can get in or the sebum can’t get out then a whitehead is formed
6. In this lovely low oxygen environment another type of microorganism thrives propionibacterium acnes (p.acnes) and begins to flourish.
7. This microorganism further degrades the trapped sebum creating skin irritating chemicals that cause redness often associated w/ acne
8. Free radical reactions also occur in the sebum resulting in more damage to the cells lining the follicle. The body sends white blood cells to repair the damage – this causes a battle inside the follicle causing pimples on the surface of the skin
9. As sebum, skin cells, white blood cells and bacteria continue to accumulate in the blocked pore the lining of the follicle can rupture.
10. The contents then spill out into surrounding skin tissue and potentially lead to more blocked pores
11. The reason we produce excess sebum is not completely understood but one significant trigger is an enzyme that is produced during hormonal changes.
Look for products that encourage the healing of blemishes and control the factors that contribute to the cycle of Acne.
Manucka and Tea Tree Oil are often found usefel
Nutrient or Herb Based – A, E, Zinc, B’s, Licorice, Burdock, Watercress,
Avoid high dosages of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide
This particular nutrient and herb rich acne product stops the cycle of acne
Treatment for acne when I was a teen was a long dose of tetracycline, followed by a nasty yeast infection that nooone ever talked about. I certainly didn’t know about friendly bacteria way back then
The antibiotics got rid of the zits but created health problems for me later.
I was so allergic to the preservatives in mainstream products that my skin got horrifically dry
It wasn’t until I was 33 years old that I discovered a skin care system that worked for me.
The hype is on!
Lose weight so you can l0ok good in that summer bikini!
Is that hype healthy?
Quick weight loss is never the answer.
I feel weight loss is like a chemistry project. A big ( no pun intended ) very complicated, individual, unique equation that requires all the variables to be working together.
Some of the variables include:
Foods – do you eat for taste or for nutrition?
Fiber – are you getting enough?
Fluids - many of us have replaced water with soda or coffee – what do you drink ?
Function – are we stressed, do all our body systems work well ?
Fitness – we movin it ? daily ?
Finesse – do we have the gumption to have healthy eating be a life long lifestyle ?
Fight – willpower is part of the plan – what are you willing to let go of ?
I believe each of us have intent to lose weight but don’t combine ALL the variables.
When all the pieces aren’t in place, that intention as well as any results get deflated pretty darn fast.
I was completely apathetic to my weight. I had given up. I was fat. I had decided to accept fatness as my fate and call it a day.
I needed more than help, I needed hope.
Two weeks on these safe and natural weight loss products gave me the tools I needed to begin to lose weight and the hope.
Simply – on this program I felt good, I began to see results and I felt I could move forward.
I believed.
Here it is many years later and not only am I maintaining my weight loss, I still feel really wonderful.
By the way you can lose weight too! Do it healthfully.
Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
( over the last 4 yrs i have lost over 72lbs, still losing, a bit every month, feel great!)
When placing your next order consider adding your sun care protection needs
Here is what I use:
our anti-aging 30 SPF sun screen
my absolute favorite AM treatment with 15 SPF already in it
and our after sun care - our calming complex
This is a product that I keep in the fridge.
Excellent for bug bites also – which by the way I got my first mosquito bite yesterday – yikes!!
