Don’t Ignore The Golden Rule When Choosing The Best Skin Care Line

7:44 pm December 3, 2009

You’ve been spending some time on the net looking at skin care reviews and different skin care products and programs trying to find the best skin care line. Good. You’re interested in your skin health and want to improve your skin.

But if you’re currently asking yourself “what’s the best skin care line” you’re dwelling on the second most important question of skin care. Not the first. You’ve got to remember the golden rule of skin care. Don’t harm your skin.

It can be a more important consideration than the skin care products that you choose. If you ignore the golden rule then no matter how good those skin care products are your skin health may be going backwards. If you follow some simple steps to make sure you aren’t doing any damage to your skin you should be way out in front.

What do I mean by don’t harm your skin? Just this. There’s so many things that women do that harm their skin and they don’t even realize it. Here’s 2 examples. Smoking and sunburn. Both are dreadful for your skin.

Smoking can damage your skin in a number of ways. It is very bad for your blood circulation, and this is dangerous to so many areas of your body that rely on good blood circulation, and that includes your skin. Because a good blood supply is essential for great skin health.

And sunburn is no better for your skin either. Sunburn can damage your skin permanently and even lead to skin cancer.

Here’s another example that may surprise you. Many big brand cosmetics and skin care lines damage your skin too, because they use chemical ingredients like mineral oil. Mineral oil isn’t good for your skin, but it’s in many products because, although it’s a petrochemical product, it’s a cheap way of adding oil. Many cosmetics also damage your skin.

And there’s more than that too. There’s other things to avoid, like many big brand soaps and shampoos, and you ought to also keep baths from being too hot, and showers, and not stay in too long, as long hot baths and showers can dry your skin oils. And the chlorine in your bath or shower water can also damage your skin, you ought to filter all the water that comes into your house, it’s not that expensive to do.

Look for and use the best skin care line by all means, because there’s no doubt that the best natural skin care products can work wonders for great skin health, and the best natural skin care products don’t contain ingredients damaging to your skin. But although using the best skin care line is great, doing the things I’ve cautioned against in this article can undo all that good. Don’t forget the golden rule.

Ignore the golden rule and you’re in trouble. Don’t do things that can cause damage to your skin. Get that sorted and get out there are buy the best skin care line and use it every day and you’ve got a recipe for great looking healthy skin.

Should We All Be Worried About Mineral Oil In Moisturizers?

6:45 pm November 26, 2009

If you use a moisturizer right now is there mineral oil in it? Should there be mineral oil in moisturizers, and if there shouldn’t why not?

One of the by products of distilling crude oil to produce petroleum products is mineral oil. It is used in a wide range of cosmetics and skin care products because it is extremely cheap, and is also known as white oil.

It may surprise you to know that many ingredients in big brand skin care products are also derived from oil.

The Cosmetic Safety Database finds that there are 454 different moisturizers that contain mineral oil, and there are of course many other cosmetics and skin care products as well, so there is an extremely high chance that there is a moisturizer or other product that you use now that has mineral oil in it.

You probably know mineral oil very well if you have a baby, because baby oil is 100% mineral oil, usually with fragrance added, mineral oil isnt the most fragrant of substances.

And there’s more from the Cosmetic Safety Database. They say that mineral oil is linked to allergies, cancer, toxicity in biological systems in the body and irritation of lungs, eyes and skin.

And there’s more too, mineral oil has also been linked to skin problems including acne. The reason why it’s suspected that mineral oil is bad for the skin is that it forms a thin film on the surface of the skin and this clogs the pores of the skin. So acne can be increased and this can also lead to a reduction in the ability of the skin to release toxins.

And there are some who have also linked the use of mineral oil on the skin with premature aging.

But like all these things none of this if firmly proven and there is debate, and the big cosmetics companies and skin care companies maintain that it is perfectly safe and works well.

So for anyone worried about mineral oil in moisturizes what should they do? Well the bottom line is that if the moisturizer works for them thats a good place to start. There are highly priced skin care products that do very little, so if youre happy with your skin care products thats good.

I suspect that many women continue using their skin care products even though they do very little because they have come to expect very little and so arent being disappointed. And if you’re paying a lot I personally believe that you ought to be seeing good results that both you and others notice.

And if you’re really worried about that mineral oil you could try using some skin care products that don’t contain mineral oil. There are excellent natural skin care products that don’t contain any mineral oil, and you ought to see how they work for you.

The best natural skin care products are made by a small niche natural skin care product manufacturer. The best thing about their products is that they offer you a full money back guarantee, so you can try the products risk free.

So if for any reason you dont feel they are working you can return them for a refund, and very few do, or they wouldnt have the guarantee.

But, sadly, there is no conclusive evidence linking mineral oil in moisturizers with health problems, and no conclusive evidence that mineral oil is safe to put on your skin, though many think it is not, and doesn’t moisturize very well at all.

Treatments For 7 Dry Skin Causes

7:00 pm November 23, 2009

If you’ve got dry skin it’s annoying isn’t it? What causes dry skin? What can you do about it? Here’s 8 dry skin causes and their solutions.

There are a wide range of factors that can produce dry skin. Some are more rare than others.

Dry skin is much more common than you’d realize, especially as we get older, and there are so many people who are searching for treatments for dry skin. Some common dry skin conditions are easier to treat than others.

And dry skin can be so irritating. You skin can be dull and flaky, red, swollen and painful. And really really itchy.

Normally our skin has it’s own protective layer of natural oils that the skin produces itself. But various causes can result in our skin losing it’s natural oily protection and result in the symptoms I’ve previously mentioned known as dry skin.

So lets have a look at dry skin causes and treatments. Some are easier to treat than others.

1. Long hot baths. Now of course like most women you love that bath as hot as you can stand it and for as long as you have the time. But that bath is stripping away those natural skin oils. A shower is better, not for as long and not as hot.

2. Skin care products and cosmetics. You might find it hard to believe but many big name skin care products and cosmetics have ingredients in them that are not at all good for your skin. If this is news to you spend a little time on google researching dangerous skin care products and cosmetics.

Many ingredients actually dry our skin. An example is mineral oil. Mineral oil is a petrochemical product (ie derived from crude oil) and damages your skin, but is used because it is cheap.

Much better is to use high quality natural skin care products that won’t damage your skin and will help you overcome your dry skin problems very successfully.

3. Exposure to the sun. Don’t ever get sunburned if you can avoid it. Sunburn dries and damages the skin, and can lead to skin cancer.

4. Weather. This also can cause dry skin conditions by reducing humidity and dry your skin out. For example those living in cold dry winters may well find that they suffer from dry skin in winter, but if it is more humid in summer they don’t. This can usually be corrected with a high quality natural moisturizer, or even better, a complete natural skin care product.

5. Soaps and detergents. There are many modern soaps and detergents as well as shampoos which can dry your skin. Many of these also contain ingredients that are bad for you. Avoid soaps with deodorizers, you don’t need them. And the same for anti bacterial soaps. In fact avoid soaps which lather a lot and make you feel squeaky clean, these are often signs of soaps that will dry your skin. Look for natural soaps fragrance and deodorant free and keep trying until you find a soap that works for you.

6. Psoriasis, medical conditions, and drugs. Many medical conditions, like psoriasis and eczema, can cause dry skin, and some drugs can too. For specific medical conditions consult your doctor.

7. Avoid itchy clothes, they too can cause skin dryness.

.There’s 7 dry skin causes. But what dry skin treatments are there for this condition. As previously mentioned for medical conditions see a doctor or dermatologist. But in many cases you don’t need to.

I have already suggested some dry skin natural remedies like cooler showers and changing to more natural soaps and shampoos and you may well find that this solved the problem. Natural remedies are often cheaper and easier to achieve, and have no risk to other areas of health.

And consider using a range of natural skin care products. The best natural skin care products contain natural oils like avocado oil and Babassu oil from the nut of the Babassu tree, both excellent and perfectly safe natural moisturizers. These will do wonders for any dry skin conditions.

It may sound counter intuitive but the best natural skin care products on the market are actually very cost competitive to the big brands skin care ranges, not to mention working better and being safer. This is because they are made by a company that doesn’t advertise on TV, so doesn’t need to factor the huge costs of TV advertising into their products.

There’s 7 dry skin causes for you to consider. Combine some or all of the treatments I’ve mentioned here and you should be well on your way to relieving that dry skin that is so bedevilling you.
