Why Natural Skin Care?
Natural skin care is care of the skin using natural ingredients such as herbs, roots, and essential oils—things found in nature. No unpronounceable synthetics that turn out to be carcinogens or endocrine disruptors. You should practice natural skin care because: Bet that last one got your attention, let me elaborate. Aging is a natural process that your genes play a big part in. After genetics, the environment has a huge effect. By environment I mean the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat. Remember that old saying, "garbge in, garbage out"? Well, it applies in this case too. Your skin is a direct reflection of your health.

It absorbs right in with no greasy feel at all because it is water-based. The best part of all is that my blemishes are all gone!!

Your acne could be a reaction to a synthetic hormone in your deodorant or perfume. Perhaps your brain fog is the result of the carpet deodorizer you use. Our environment, indoors and outdoors, affects us in ways we may not realize. Understand that you can have reactions to natural skin care products too. However the track record for herbs and essential oils is hundreds of years old. You know what to expect from them, and the reactions tend to be slight and go away when you stop using the product. Synthetics--not so much.
A debate rages on as to how much better natural skin care ingredients are as compared to mainstream skin care containing synthetic ingredients. With both sides of this issue taking a firm stand, and publishing 'official' report after report, it is the consumer who most often becomes lost in the maze of unfounded marketing promises and supposedly 'guaranteed' results. Cumulative effects We are exposed to around 200 chemicals almost non stop, every moment of every day, through beauty and cleaning products. While it is true that the chemicals in most products are in very low amounts, we are exposed to thousands of them every day and have little idea about how they work synergistically. We smother them on our bodies or breathe them in constantly. The cumulative effect brings cause for concern for our health and the environment. The short term effects of some of these chemicals include skin rashes and irritation, breathing difficulties including asthma and stomach upsets. Long term complications include disruption of hormone status leading to fertility problems or birth defects and cancer. Trusting the Manufacturers We take for granted that these products are safe. Surveys of the general public reveal comments such as "I assume that everything I use has been tested so it won't be harmful for my body." or "I pretty much trust companies. If their products are on the market, it shouldn't hurt your body " or "I think that everything you buy is safe, has been tested and is not going to give you cancer or anything like that." The problem is what they don't tell you. These synthetic chemicals are absorbed into our skin and can actually increase the rate of the aging process (creating wrinkles).

Babies and children have many of the same skin care needs that adults have, but their skin is much more sensitive.Look for natural skin care products formulated especially for children. Sweating has its benefits—removing toxins from the body and helping cool the skin. However, most people aren’t willing to bear the social ramifications of stinky armpits. There are many reasons why you might need to use an alternative type of deodorant. You may have a sensitivity to the popular brands, or you may find that due to hormonal changes, you can no longer tolerate your favorite brand. There are many folks who are uncomfortable with the idea putting aluminum chlorohydrate, formaldehyde, and ammonia in their armpits. To date, there is no research that shows a definitive connection between antiperspirants and breast cancer; however, unproven doesn’t mean untrue. For those wishing to err on the side of caution, there are some alternatives. The simplest natural skin care recipe I’ve run across is to just pour a little baking soda in the palm of your hand and squeeze in a bit of lemon juice. Mix it into a paste and smear it under your armpit. •Alba Botanica Deodorant Tea Tree Another option is deodorant crystals. The crystals are simple mineral salts that inhibit the bacterial growth that causes odor. The benefit is that the crystal will last for years. To use them, rub the crystal into your underarms right out of the shower and let it dry naturally. In general, antiperspirants are more harmful than deodorants, especially those containing aluminum and parabens, which may increase the risk of breast cancer. There is much research that shows these chemicals are easily absorbed into the tissue around the underarm, especially if they are applied right after shaving. Like natural skin care products, you should avoid anything containing fragrance (phthalates), parabens, or sodium lauryl (laureth) sulfate. Phtalates have been found to produce cancer of the liver and birth defects in lab animals, but they sound much more innocuous if you call them fragrance on the label. Note that the FDA does not require the ingredients in fragrances to be listed because they are considered trade secrets. If you like fragrances, choose a deodorant/antiperspirant that uses natural essential oils for fragrance. Pardon me for stating the obvious, but keep in mind that deodorants stop odor, not sweat. Likewise, antiperspirants slow sweat down, but not odor. Most people go for a combination product. Need a little help making the switch to "all natural living"?
