Human skin is the largest organ
in the body. Not only has a fairly complex structure, but also holds the lives
of many maintenance functions.
We can live without a spleen,
gallbladder, or appendix, and we can survive with one kidney or lung, but we cannot
survive without our skin. Therefore, it is essential that we take care of our
skin.
Using natural products for skin
care is a good first step in providing nutrients to the skin on the right and
building materials to maintain the health and function.
What is your skin really do for
us?
Our skin has many functions, most
of whom did not know until something goes wrong. These include:
The regulation of body
temperature;
Protection against wind and
weather;
Sensation;
Excretion;
Integrity;
Blood storage and
Synthesis of vitamin D.
If you want to know more about
these features, you can look at this article: "Anatomy and physiology of
the skin."
In short, these features gives us
awareness of our environment, climate, protect us against certain bacteria and
other potentially harmful insects in our environment, we can see touch and
feel, to eliminate toxins from our body to store blood and provide the means of
our body to get vitamin D, while protecting the body against UV radiation Sun
Given these vital functions of
the skin that must be done, it is not surprising that we have to take care of
our skin and make sure you are given every chance to work properly and stay
healthy.
Why you should choose natural
skin care?
With all the media and the news
to warn consumers of potentially toxic ingredients in many products
commercially available skin care sold in supermarkets and department stores,
it's an easy question to answer.
First, many commonly used
products contain artificial skin care and / or synthetic ingredients that the
body has difficulty eliminating, and therefore it tends to store these
chemicals in its tissues. Research has shown that the accumulation of several
of these drugs can have serious consequences for health.
If you're interested in learning
more about some of the toxic chemicals used in products for skin care, please
read the article "potentially toxic ingredients in skin products."
You will be a lot of references and research information for you to be able to
identify what is in your skin care and what should not be there.
Holistic care natural skin
contain no artificial or synthetic ingredients. Not contain any isolated,
strong substances such as parabens natural (pseudo-natural conservation) and others
that have proven to be potentially dangerous.
How to choose natural products
for skin care that are safe and effective?
This is where it starts to get
really hard. You see many so-called skin care products natural or organic are
actually nothing of the sort. Adding a minimum amount of aloe vera to the water
is not a natural holistic skin care. It may be "natural" or even
"organic", but it will not be effective and therefore are wasting
your money.
For a product like aloe vera
effective, it requires at least 10% of the total with aloe vera. Or, aloe vera
should be combined with many other natural active ingredients are combined to
obtain an accurate result.
The term 'organic' is another
area where consumers are not misled. With the addition of one of the
"organic" ingredients, and then calling the product as organic, it is
simply wrong. You will see ads on television and in newspapers every day ...
"Product XYZ that contains organic and biological," ... but makes no
mention of any of the ingredients in these products, many of which have been
shown to be hazardous to our health.
There is a problem with natural
skin care products, which is an area of confusion and potentially misleading.
Just wondering what exactly is a "natural"? What is actually meant by
the term "natural"?
"Natural" The word
conger images of nature - pristine environments that make us feel good. A safe
environment conducive to natural health and wellbeing. Spring water,
waterfalls, lakes, a healthy salad, tropical forests, etc, are all the images
we perceive as "natural" or in other words "good for us."
The cosmetics industry has made
this and used the word natural in their advertising to instill a sense of well
being and the idea that this product is good for us. Unfortunately, one or two
natural ingredients is not a natural skin care are ... Far from it, the natural
skin care should not contain ingredients that are not naturally occurring. This
brings us to another problem with natural skin care.
Of course, by ingredient, such as
a variety of Paraben, can still be dangerous. Just think about it - could put
arsenic, lead to skin? Of course not, you. But they are natural, what is the
problem? Natural substances may also be too deadly poisons.
Applying this to the products of
skincare, may be looking for a product that is natural and contains AHA (alpha
hydroxy acids), which is known to help remove the layers of dead skin cells
which in turn helps to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, skin revealing a new
dynamic.
Now you can buy a product that
lists one of its ingredients AHA, it may even contain AHA, in its name, or you
can buy a product containing a concentrate called papain, a natural substance
from the papaya. So, yes, papain is natural and yes, this product can,
according to other ingredients, a product called natural skin care. However,
papain is a concentrate and as such many people have experienced side effects,
because the papain is present in concentrations too high for some people.
A natural product skin care does
not contain papain truly integrated as an extract. On the contrary, it must
contain within itself the papaya. You see, all the fruit also contains papain,
however, also contains other ingredients that modify the effect of excessively
strong papaya papain. Choose a product that, at least in large part to reduce
potential side effects of papain, as the product is naturally balanced and
contains natural ingredients balance that will benefit your skin rather than
burn it.
The results of removing wrinkles
and lines may take a little longer, but it is generally better, and you reduce
the chances of "burn" your skin with an AHA concentration. Remember
AHA stands for alpha-hydroxy acids and we all burn our skin.
How to use natural products for
skin care?
Following directions
This is actually much more
important than most people think. The manufacturer's instructions for use are
the product of their communication to consumers on how to use and get the best
results for a particular product.
It 'has been our experience that
most people who buy our products for natural skin care do not read the
instructions and use our products in the same way as they used their previous
mark. However, this may be the right way to use our products.
Properly formulated products
contain ingredients in amounts high enough to achieve the desired effect when
used in accordance with product instructions. Using more does not mean better
or faster results, do not use too much can have negative or no effect than any
amount.
Conversely, if for example,
suggests that the use of proceeds must be used 2 or 3 times a day using a
single time is not likely to produce the desired effect in most cases.
This is evident when you think
about taking medication. We read the instructions and take the medicines, herbs
or whatever, when necessary, and we get the desired result.
So why do we do that when it
comes to taking medicine, but he does not know (especially) when it comes to
the use of skin care and other personal care products?
Read the instructions carefully
and follow them to ensure that a) do not waste your money, and b) you should
get the desired results.
Good and bad reactions for use in
skin care products
There are several possible
reactions you may encounter. There are good reactions and bad reactions. Look
at the reaction starting point.
New products for good skin
Herbs, essential oils and most of
the ingredients you find in our range of products have a therapeutic effect and
are included for a specific purpose, ie, formulas that make our products were
originally designed for the treatment of skin, particular health problems. This
intention, if not promote, continues to this day.
As you probably know that there
are three basic skin types, normal, oily and dry. In addition, your skin may be
sensitive, prone to allergic reactions or under the influence of hormonal
changes that occur in your body. The herbs and essential oils in our products
are specially selected to normalize the skin get one of these skin types. The
herbs and essential oils have a therapeutic effect on skin structure and
function to create an environment where your skin will begin to function
normally again.
Similarly, it is important for
sensitive skin that tends to react inappropriately to different stimuli. And
'possible, for example, that individuals with sensitive skin, which is used in
products for the first time, have a reaction where you can see the negative reaction.
This, however, could be the
opposite of what actually happens. You see, in order that the health of the
skin to improve the situation must change. This change may seem at first
glance, an increase of a particular skin problem, and, of course, be
interpreted as a refusal.
Under normal circumstances,
however, what kind of reaction if the products are kept, only takes a few days
and this time the skin heals, and ultimately much healthier. This process is
sometimes called a "healing crisis", and is a very good thing to
happen.
This means that the ingredients
do what they are supposed to, which is to repair and normalize the functions of
the skin. This is normal and is actually a good reaction.
Bad Reactions New Products
Obviousely There are times when a
new product can actually cause a bad skin reaction. Unfortunately, a bad
reaction often seems like a good reaction. As you can tell the difference and
what should I do?
The first thing to do when ever
you buy a new skin or personal care product is to check to see if you have any
side effects of this product. Here is a detailed sketch and links that will
give you all the information you need to test a new product to determine if
your skin reacts negatively to it or not.
Test products to avoid allergic
reactions
Another important aspect of using
any skin care, personal care or cosmetic products, whether natural or not, is
to test the first products to see if you are allergic to any ingredient.
You can do this as described in
our article on "Test patch skin test", which will give you a simple,
yet powerful step-by-step test that you can easily do at home for more than 24
hours, can be reasonably certain that there will be most important side effects
ingredients of the products you want to use on your face, or any other body
part. This test is simple and very effective.
Finally, before you purchase a
product, look at the ingredient list and see if the ingredients are easily
recognizable. In general, if the ingredients are easily recognizable, is more likely
that the ingredients are natural sources and has not been changed too. If on
the other hand, you need a chemistry degree to understand what the ingredient
is, it is unlikely to be a holistic natural ingredients. It may also be a
natural ingredient, but it probably was isolated and used in a concentrated
form, perhaps even synthetic.
For most, the most "natural
skin care" commonly available in the market is far from natural or organic
matter. Most have small amounts of certain natural ingredients in an otherwise
non-natural product and talk about the natural ingredients in the product,
rather than the nature of the product itself.
Hopefully this article will
clarify some of the confusion that exists about what is a natural skin care and
what is not, help you choose the natural skin care products that effectively
meet your expectations, and clarify why the use of natural skin care for a
healthier option.
