Why Natural Face Cream is Especially Important For Baby Boomers

This is a great article written by Maureen Devine. It primarily talks about natural creams for baby boomers an why it's so important and what watch out for.

--------------

Baby boomers have reached or are approaching their senior years. By the year 2015, all of us will have attained the age of 50.

The world has dramatically changed over the years. In the 1950's, when most of us were born, our parents expected to stay together for life and our fathers expected to work for the same company until they retired.

But the same can't be said of the world that we live in today. Most of us have had several jobs and more than one spouse by the time we reach 50.

We live longer. Our economy makes it necessary for us to work longer. Every day in the workplace, we are competing against people the age of our children and grandchildren.

Unfortunately, there is a definite prejudice against older workers. So we try everything that we can to make ourselves appear younger, healthier and more vital.

Store aisles are loaded with face creams and lotions that claim that they can give our skin the look of youth. But how many of these claims are real? Is an all natural face cream better or safer than one that is not? What should we look for?

It is good to be a little skeptical and ask these questions, so let's take a look at them one at a time.

The first question was: Many face creams say that they can make us look younger by removing wrinkles and shoring up our sagging skin. How many of these claims are real?

To answer that question, let's take a look at why we get wrinkles in the first place. Underneath our skin two proteins (keratin and collagen) combine, and together they give our skin the support that it needs to stay firm and wrinkle free.

But over time, these two proteins break down and that is why we get wrinkles and our skin sags as we age. So in order for it to work, we must find a face cream that restores or replaces these two proteins.

Research has shown that face creams with functional keratin and the antioxidants alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and coenzymeQ10 in them do just that. The special keratin is so close to the natural thing that new skin cells actually begin to form when it is used. The antioxidants help in this process. In just a short time, people who have used these creams have noticed a dramatic difference.

The second question asked was: Is an all natural face cream better or safer than one that is not?

This question is not as easy to answer as the first one. Yes. It is better to use a natural face cream rather than a synthetic one.

Dermatologists worldwide recommend against using skin care products that contain harsh chemicals, astringents or alcohol. These chemicals can do more harm than good. But sometimes a manufacturer uses the term "natural" in a misleading way.

For instance, alcohol can be considered by some to be natural because it comes from grain. But as we have seen before, it should never be an ingredient in any face cream.

Mineral oil can also be considered a natural ingredient because it comes from crude oil. But it isn't safe either; it clogs the pores and leaves the skin open to acne outbreaks.

The final question: What should I look for?

Look at the label: If you want to find a face cream that is truly safe and effective, you need to find one that is free from alcohol and other harsh chemicals such as: DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (Read the label monoethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine), phenol carbolic acid, and polyethylene glycol.

Your next step? To take what you've just learned and use it as I have to discover the absolutely best natural face cream for you. The results for your face will be well worth the effort.

Natural Skin Product - Synthetic or Natural

Found this great Ezine article on why natural skin products are better for the skin in the prevention of aging. Of course we at bluebasins bath & body pride ourselves in natural skin products that promote better skin care. Read on about what Maricha Jordan has to say.

Which is Better? Preventing Aging With Natural Or Synthetic Skincare Products?

There is no shortage of chemicals and compounds being used in skin care products. Unfortunately, many of them are actually bad for the skin. This makes finding anti aging natural skin care products important for getting the best anti aging skin care.

All too often, inexpensive anti aging products use synthetic chemicals that are potentially toxic. Some chemicals are added to give products a better smell, texture or color. Others are added because they're inexpensive and they will add to the volume of the product. A natural skin product, however, will have nothing but natural ingredients.

Natural ingredients are important for getting the best anti aging care for several reasons. Any skin care product that is applied to the skin will eventually soak through it and will enter the body. This makes it essential to know what kind of chemicals are in that product. If the products are safe and natural, the product will not only be helpful to the skin, it will be harmless once it enters the bloodstream.

Anything that is put on top of the skin is being absorbed by the body much like the foods we eat. A skin care product that has toxic ingredients, even if they work to some degree, can cause harm elsewhere in the body. A truly natural product should have ingredients that are so harmless that they are actually safe enough to eat.

When looking for the best anti aging skin care, look for products that stand behind their individual ingredients. Some companies mention only the product's intended benefits and never mention how the product is supposed to actually achieve those benefits. The companies make vague claims about using "special ingredients," but they never mention what they are. Anti aging natural skin care products that disclose their ingredients and don't seek to hide toxins or unnatural fillers are generally the ones that should be used.

A company that has anti aging natural skin care products should be willing to mention exactly what is in those products and why those ingredients are desirable. They should tell the customer why the individual ingredients are considered to be natural and how that can benefit the skin. A company that is unwilling to do this may have something to hide.

There are many people who have sensitive skin that will react badly to cheap, synthetic chemicals. Many of these people don't even know they have a problem until they apply something to the skin that is heavily perfumed or full of harsh chemicals and see a reaction.

For those seeking the best anti aging skin care, having a harsh reaction to their skin product is a hard lesson to learn. That's when the harsh products should be put away and anti aging natural skin care products should be sought.

To keep the skin healthy, lessen the effects of aging on the skin and avoid any unpleasant side effects, anti aging natural skin care products are the best option. Getting the best anti aging skin care means using products that are not harmful to the skin and won't cause problems once they enter the body through the skin.

How can I exfoliate my skin using natural products?

How can I exfoliate my skin using natural products?

Some basic skin care natural methods can be adopted that will help to maintain healthy skin tone.

Sleep well – a proper sleep pattern is one of the best ways to maintain good and healthy skin. A well rested person appears healthier.

Always use a sunscreen.

Clean face thoroughly – the face should be cleaned thoroughly since the skin of the face is usually oilier than the rest of the body. The pores of the face thus get clogged easily with dirt and cause pimples or acne. Cleaning the face regularly with a mild natural soap helps to prevent these conditions.

Moisturize often – especially if during pregnancy as it helps to keep moisturizing it often.

Women with oily skin could use a water-based moisturizer while those with dry skin can use an oil-based facial moisturizer. It is always necessary to follow a cleaning and moisturizing routine for healthy skin.

Get a facial massage/facial steam – facial and body massage with mild and fragrant oils may help to relax apart from increasing blood circulation to the area.

Drink plenty of water – the water balance in the body should be maintained. This also affects the tone of the skin. Water cleanses the skin and removes the toxins from the body.

Smile and remain happy – the age old belief that smiling exercises more muscles of the face than a frown may also help. Happiness increases the blood flow inside the body and, thus, reflects in the form of a healthy and glowing skin.
