The techniques of Japanese skincare should be of great interest to us in the west. Why? Because Japanese women are renowned for their perfect skin. As with many things in the east, Japanese skincare has been practised for hundreds of years using natural plants, clays and oils to cleanse and
moisturize their bodies.

Skin care is not just about creams and lotions, but
you also need to follow a healthy diet. And the
Japanese diet is no exception consisting mainly of rice, fish and vegetables. A favorite food is a form of seaweed which grows in the Sea of Japan known as wakame kelp. In recent years an extract from this kelp known as phytessence wakame has been found to have properties which make it an essential element of an effective skin cream.

There are many things that we in the west can learn from the ancient wisdom of the east and Japanese skincare is just one.

Can you buy a wrinkle remover cream? Of course, there are any number available in stores and online. But can you buy one that actually removes
your wrinkles? Well, that depends. Skin care experts recommend that you should start using creams and lotions in your twenties if you want to delay the signs of aging and the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles. Naturally the longer you wait to start a regular skincare routine, the harder it will be for your face to defy the passing of the years.

On the other hand the term “wrinkle remover cream” clearly implies that it will remove those wrinkles. There are creams are designed to “fill in the cracks” and so appear to remove the wrinkles, but what you really want is a cream that is able to restore your skin to its original condition.

Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep your skin looking firm and smooth. As we age these proteins tend to decrease and this is why our skin starts to lose its condition and lines and wrinkles appear. There are certain substances that can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to reverse the trend. One name to look out for is Xtend-TK which is an essential ingredient of a wrinkle remover cream.

There are simple ways to prevent wrinkles from spoiling your perfect complexion. Everyone knows that you need to use a cream both night and day, but the secret is knowing which creams will be effective and will actually prevent those wrinkles from developing.

As I’ve mentioned before the key to an effective cream is its ingredients. There are a number of natural products that are used in the manufacture of the best face creams which act in various ways to prevent wrinkles appearing. When comparing skin care products look out for ingredients such as Xtend-TK which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin both of which help to keep your skin looking firm and smooth.

It’s hardly surprising to find that any organic night cream reviewed by an advertising agency claims to be the best. That’s their job to promote the brand of the company that employs them. Clearly if you rely on the advertisements you are going to have a hard job distinguishing between all the different organic night creams on the market.

On the other hand an organic night cream reviewed by an independant expert would include information about the ingredients and the way that they act on your skin to retain its firm and youthful appearance.

Some of the ingredients that I have mentioned before in other posts include shea butter, manuka honey and avocado extract.

The first step in dry skin care is to discover the cause. We are all familiar with the appearance of dry flaking skin which is both unsightly and can lead to irritation, but you need to find out what is causing the problem before you can decide what is the best way to treat the condition.

Our bodies produce a natural oil which helps our skin retain its moisture and it is the lack of this
natural oil that results in areas of dry skin. One of the main causes of dryness is excessive exposure to
the sun, but it can also be caused by cold weather conditions or a biting wind.

Other causes include washing too frequently with a harsh soap or using cosmetics made from synthetic chemicals. Some pharmaceutical drugs can be the reason why dry skin care is required. Equally you may be someone for whom this is their natural skin type.

Coping with the environmental factors of sun and cold is simple enough. Wear appropriate clothes to keep covered and use a sunscreen for your face. If you think that a drug or medicine you are taking might be responsible, consult your pharmacist for advice.

Once you have dealt with any aspects of your lifestyle that might have been the cause of your problem, you will need to establish a dry skin care routine. Regular gentle cleansing without using any soap on your face and then dry by gently patting with a towel. Then apply a moisturizing cream while your skin is still damp. Make sure the moisturizer you use is made from natural products such as shea butter or grapeseed oil.

If you want to look your best a healthy skin is essential. So how do you achieve this? Well here are my top 5 skin care tips:

# Know your skin type. This is important because there are different skin care products for all the varying skin types.

# Drink plenty of water. Some people recommend that you should drink eight glasses of water a day to keep your body fully hydrated. This will be reflected in the health of your skin.

# Cleanse your skin regularly. Wash twice a day in lukewarm water to remove all dust and dirt that may have accumulated during the day.

# Be gentle. Don?t scrub or exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don?t apply too much or too many skin care products.

# Keep your skin moist at all times. Don?t let your skin become dry because dryness causes the outer

layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use a moisturiser regularly.

So there you have it – my top five skin care tips. Keep a lookout for my next five tips in a future post.

When we talk about oily skin care we need to start by looking at what
causes an oily skin. In simple terms an oily skin is the result of
excessive production of sebum (an oily substance that is naturally
produced by your skin). Our skin normally secretes a small amount of
oil and this is useful because it acts as a natural moisturizer. But
excessive production of sebum leads to clogging of the pores which can
then encourage the formation of pimples and acne. An oily skin spoils
your looks and when it becomes obvious to others this can result in
embarrassment and loss of self esteem.

Use a common sense approach to solve the problem and remove the excess oil from your skin. Wash your face two or three times a day using a
soap made from natural materials. But do not overdo it – excessive
washing can result in dry skin with its associated problems. Avoid
alcohol based products because these can remove all the oil from the
skin.

If you still find that you have a problem after following these
suggestions, you may need to use an oily skin care cleansing product.
For the most effective treatment, look for oily skin care creams which
contain kaolin, shea butter or allantoin.

Male skin care is a bigger industry than most people realize. While there are fewer adverts aimed at men than women, there are still a huge range of products on the market for male skin care. The problem is how do you sort through them? How do you know which ones work and which are a waste of money? It can be confusing, but the first step is simple. Restrict your choice to organic skin care products.

The reason I advocate organic skin care is simple. Even the chemicals that do not damage our skin are still unnatural, and our skin is simply not able to make use of inactive or synthetic ingredients. Organic ingredients are living or come from living things, and contain the same building blocks as our bodies. This means that we are able to process and use them.

Take for example keratin. This is a protein made by our bodies. Many products claim to contain keratin, but most contain an inactive, synthetic form of it. This sounds good to consumers, but serves little purpose otherwise.

Now take an ingredient called Xtend-TK which is derived from the wool of sheep. It is still active, and is almost identical to human keratin. When applied to the body through a skin cream, Xtend-TK is able to rebuild elastin and collagen and encourage new skin growth. The anti-wrinkle effects are dramatic and incredibly visible.

For a man skin care is important. It is also important to realize that men have different skin care requirements from women and thus need a product that was developed and tested especially for men. These products, when they contain active and beneficial ingredients, can provide amazing results.

Male skin care is something that reputable companies care about. Using products from organic companies that use these natural ingredients can result in skin that is dramatically cleaner, smoother, and younger looking. You needn?t take my word for it however, try some of these products for yourself.
