  5 Natural Skin Care Tips for Earth Day

   

  Earth Day is a great time to remind ourselves that we need to take of our earth if we want it to be inhabitable for future generations. What are you doing to help protect Mother Earth? Here are five things you can do to make a difference.

   

  • Buy natural skin and body care products in recyclable packaging from companies that are conscious about protecting our environment.

   

  • Choose USDA certified organic natural skin care products where possible. These are the cleanest, purest and healthiest products on the market.

   

  • Use baking soda and vinegar for household cleaning or choose products that are made from safe, non-toxic ingredients and are biodegradable. Don’t fall for the “green” ads by companies promoting environmentally friendly packaging for their chemical-rich toxic products.

   

  • Read ingredient labels on all the food, personal care and household products you purchase for your family and your home. Not all products that say natural or organic on the label really meet true natural and organic standards.

   

  • Reuse or recycle your containers and packaging. Don’t throw away materials that can be put to another use. Take your own reusable bags when you shop.

   

  When we each do our part, it will make a huge difference for the environment and the world our children, our children’s children and all future generations to come will live in.

  More natural skin care tips for dry hands and feet

   

  Coconut Oil - Pure, certified organic, unrefined, non-hydrogenated, unbleached, unfermented, undeodorized coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils to use, both internally and for natural skin care. It’s anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.

   

  Coconut oil does not have to be refrigerated. In fact, it’s a solid at room temperature and will start to melt around 76 degrees F.

   

  To apply it to your hands, feet or other parts of your body, just scrape a small amount with a butter knife or spoon and let it melt in your hands, then rub it in where you want it. I find it leaves a little oily feel on my hands, so I generally use it on clean feet, morning and night and then put socks on.

   

  Since the health of your skin is affected not only by what you put on your skin, but also what you put into your body, I also recommend using one to three tablespoons a day internally. You can melt it and use on your salad with a little lime juice or raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and Celtic Sea Salt. It’s also the best oil to cook with and makes great stir-fry veggies. Some people just eat it by the tablespoon too!

   

  Besides being good for your skin, unrefined coconut oil is good for your heart, helps improve thyroid function, revs up your metabolism, increases your energy and helps you to lose weight. Yes, it is a fat, and yes it does help you to lose weight.

   

  Yours in health,

  Natural skin care tips for dry hands and feet

   

  Are your hands or feet dry? Does it seem that no matter how often you put on lotions or creams, they’re still dry?

   

  Here are some natural skin care products that really work to help you eliminate stubborn dryness.

   

  Rejuvenessence Facial Serum – Even though this organic, natural skin care product is intended for your facial area, it works really great on other parts of your body. I use it on the backs of my hands when they get that dry look that just won’t go away, even after using lotion.

   

  Place just a drop or two on the back of your hands. Rub the backs of your hands together. Wait a minute or two and the oils are completely absorbed into your skin. Your skin looks and feels soft and smooth, without feeling greasy. Use at night before retiring.

   

  Use your favorite lotion, or try one of these certified organic natural skin care products during the day:

  • Tropicana Body Milk
  • Intensive Body Cream
  • Nourishing Hand Cream

  If using Rejuvenessence once a day isn’t enough. Use it again in the morning. Once or twice a day will make a huge difference. 

   

  Sensatia Botanicals Anti-Wrinkle Therapy – like Rejuvenessence, this organic natural skin care product is intended for the face area, but I have found that it works wonders on dry hands as well. Use it the same as you would use the Rejuvenessence on your hands. The difference with the Sensatia products is that they come in four different varieties to suit your skin’s age, from 20+ to 50+.

   

  If you don’t have a favorite cream or lotion for daytime use, try one of Sensatia Botanicals creams or butters:

  • Body Butter 
  • Blossom Facial Dream Cream
  • Wild Honey Day Barrier Cream

  Get a 5% discount on any of these Sensatia Botanicals natural skin care therapies when you use the promotion code: DYTLG in your shopping cart before you complete your check out.

  Product Review – Victoria’s Secret Pink Body Natural, Organic Skin and Body Care Products

   

  If you recall in post #46, I commented on the challenging time I was having obtaining the ingredients for Victoria’s Secret new Pink Body line of natural and organic skin and body care products. Well, I finally made it to the mall so I could actually read the ingredients list on the product labels. What I found is that the ingredients were not listed on the back of the product. They were on a tiny stick-on label attached to the bottom of the product in a print so tiny it was almost unreadable.

   

  I did manage to write the ingredients for three products while the sales clerk kept walking by and asking me if I needed help.

   

  These products are advertised as green, natural, organic and 100% vegan.

   

  The ingredients lists are very long, so I’ll just list the ingredients for one product here. The most objectionable ingredients are in red with a number after them. The numbers at the bottom of the post explain why these ingredients are undesirable in natural and organic skin and body care products.

   

  Soothing Body Lotion

  Ingredients:

  Water

  Octyldodecanol Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides

  Glycerin

  Cetearyl Alcohol

  Dimethicone (1)

  Zen Mays (Corn) Starch (5)

  Hexyl Cinnamal (4)

   

  1. Prohibited by the Natural Standard.

  2. Possible source of cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-dioxane.

  3. Manufacturers not required to disclose ingredients; potential source of hazardous chemicals.

  4. Irritant, allergen, possible immunotoxin, neurotoxin.

  5. Non-organic corn, soy, canola, cotton ingredients may be genetically engineered.

   

  While this product contains some natural ingredients, it contains many ingredients that are prohibited under the Natural Products Association Natural Standard for Personal Care Products. In addition, it is advertised as natural and organic. However, none of the ingredients were identified as organic on the ingredients list.

   

  This product is a good example of why you should learn to read and understand ingredients labels and know how to confidently choose truly organic, natural, safe and healthy skin and body care products for your family.

  Do you know how to tell if your natural skin care products contain genetically engineered (GE) ingredients?

   Technically, the question should be if they “potentially” contain GE ingredients. The reason is that in the U.S. GE ingredients are not required to be identified on the label of organic, natural or any skin care products. In fact, they’re not required to be identified on any label of any product, whether skin care, body care, cosmetics or food.

   

  But there are ways to identify ingredients that may be potentially genetically engineered.

   

  The most common GE crops grown are soy, cotton, canola, corn and Hawaiian papaya. If the products you use contain any ingredients that are derived from these items, they can possibly be genetically engineered.

   

  Ingredients like soy oil, soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, corn starch are just a few of the ingredients that you might find in a natural skin care product that could be derived from GE crops. However, not all ingredients from these crops are GE.

   

  So how can you tell the difference?

   

  Besides calling the manufacturer, the only real way to be sure that the ingredients in your natural and organic skin and body care products are NOT GE is to make certain that those ingredients are organic. The best organic and natural skin care products are those certified by the USDA Organic Program.

  What is natural skin care?

  All natural skin care suggests that the ingredients in the product are derived from natural sources, like plants and have only been minimally processed.

  You would expect natural skin care ingredients to include such things as aloe vera, olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, herbs and essential oils. Ingredients like propylene glycol, methyl- and propyl paraben, imidazolidinyl urea, PEG compounds, and triethanolamine, aka TEA, have no place in so-called natural skin care products.

  Many a natural skin care company, however, uses these synthetic, far from natural ingredients along with a few natural, plant based ingredients. Recently, cancer-causing contaminants were discovered in some so called natural skin care products.

  The reason this can happen is that “… there are no industry standards for what natural means. The product may contain all natural ingredients, just a few natural ingredients added to a synthetic product or even no natural ingredients at all.” (Excerpt from Dying To Look Good.)

  The best natural skin care is also organic, certified to food standards. This will guarantee that the natural skin care product truly is natural and has safe and healthy ingredients.

  You can find some truly healthy, all natural skin care products here.
