As someone who takes a keen interest in skin care I naturally keep an eye on items in the news. Over the weekend I came across this piece:

“Lead on my lips and mercury on my eyelashes, carcinogenic and endocrine disruptive creams on my skin. We have a long history of doing dangerous things in the name of beauty. The Egyptians applied copper for skin tone, Romans used chalk. In the Middle Ages, Europeans covered faces with arsenic-laced powder and leaches to whiten skin. The EU has banned 1,110-plus ingredients in cosmetics, compared to only 10 in the US. With one-third of the products on shelves containing an ingredient linked to cancer, why do “beauty” companies continue to slather our faces and bodies with chemicals in the name of healthy skin?”

And further on I read:

“As one of 600 companies that signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, this body and cosmetic collection is vegan-friendly and doesn’t test on animals. There are no phthalates, parabens or artificial fragrance. It specializes in bioactive ingredients that have a “therapeutic effect on living tissue,” like magnolia which is an anti-inflammatory and pumpkin which acts as an anti-oxidant.”

This sounds just like Xtend-Life although it is in fact one of the other 600 companies mentioned above.

Dry Skin Care, Skin Care Comments Off

Sep 282009

Dry Skin affects many older people, particularly on their lower legs, elbows, and forearms. The skin feels rough and scaly and often is accompanied by
a distressing, intense itchiness. Low humidity ? caused by overheating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer ? contributes to dryness and itching. The loss of sweat and oil glands as you age also may worsen dry skin. Anything that further dries your skin ? such as overuse of soaps, antiperspirants, perfumes, or hot baths ? will make the problem worse. Dehydration, sun exposure, smoking, and stress also may cause dry skin. Check out this page for detailed information on creams for getting rid of dry skin.

Finding the best moisturizers for dry skin can be a problem if you rely on the adverts in magazines or on TV. Advertising is expensive and products that are heavily promoted tend to have a pricetag that reflects that cost. To keep their costs down some companies will use cheaper synthetic ingredients and some of these ingredients such as alcohols can cause irritation for people with dry skin.

The best moisturizers for dry skin use natural ingredients which are kind to your skin and have no harmful side effects. One example is Maracuja
which is extracted from passion fruit. Maracuja is rich in linolenic acid which acts to nourish and revitalize your skin and also prevents it from
becoming too dry. Other ingredients that have been mentioned in previous posts are Babassu and Xtend-TK. So look out for these ingredients if you want to find the best moisturizers for dry skin.

Why Is Skin Hydration Important?

Anti Aging, Dry Skin Care, Skin Care Comments Off

May 122009

Skin hydration may not be something you think about very often, but we are all familiar with its opposite – dehydration. When we are dehydrated our bodies are suffering from a lack of liquids and this can have a dangerous effect on our health. For example our kidneys require large quantities of water to enable them to function correctly. What is not generally realised is that our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and when it becomes dehydrated the result is dry and peeling skin. So skin hydration is important if we wish to retain a smooth and healthy skin.

The Truth About Dry Skin Care

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.

Dry Skin Beneath Eyes

Dry Skin Beneath Eyes

If dry skin beneath the eyes is a problem for you, rest assured that you are not alone. This is a fairly common problem which affects many of us. Dry skin around the eyes can be a cause for concern because it affects your appearance. It can lead to the development of wrinkles and bags under the eyes, but there are simple steps you can take to solve the problem.

So, what is the cause of this dry skin beneath the eyes and why is it that the skin around our eyes is particularly affected by this dryness? Our bodies have a natural mechanism for keeping our skin moisturised by the secretion of oil through glands in the skin. But the skin around our eyes is particularly tender and does not have as many oil glands. This is the reason that dry skin around the eyes is such a common problem.

Because the area around the eyes has very thin membranes there are special creams and gels to treat dry skin in this area. One ingredient that has proved to be very effective is EyelissTM. It has mainly been a secret of Hollywood stars and other celebrities. It has a dramatic effect in reducing bags under the eyes, and smoothing out wrinkles. And it works amazingly fast.

Dry Skin Therapy

Dry Skin Care, Skin Care Comments Off

Apr 242009

Anyone who suffers from dry skin will be only too aware of the symptoms. The flaking, chapping and general itchiness are all characteristics of the condition that requires dry skin therapy. But before we consider the various dry skin remedies we need to look at the factors which contribute to the problem.

Probably the commonest cause of dry skin problems is exposure to the elements particularly in the winter. Cold and wind are prime causes as well as too much sun which can lead to dehydration. Strange as it may seem too much washing with soap and water can also contribute to the problem. The reason is that this tends to remove the natural oils protecting your skin. A poor diet that lacks the essential vitamins is another factor that can be responsible for the condition.

So apart from the obvious advice of protecting yourself from the elements and making sure that you follow a healthy diet, what can dry skin therapy do for you? The answer is that with the correct natural creams and lotions your skin can be restored to its natural healthy condition.

The Best Way To Cure Dry Skin Around The Eyes

Dry Skin Care, Natural Skincare, Skin Care Comments Off

Mar 242009

If you suffer from dry skin beneath your eyes you may be reassured to learn that this is a fairly common problem that affects many people. Dry skin around the eyes can cause concern because it affects your appearance and can lead to the development of bags under the eyes and other signs of aging. But there are simple steps you can take to solve the problem.

As you will probably know the two main causes of damage to your skin are smoking and excessive exposure to the sun. These are two that we can avoid, but the third cause is the natural process of growing older which we cannot escape. As we age the collagen and elastin in our skin begins to break down and this results in the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that help our skin stay supple and firm.

Fortunately there are skin care products that contain ingredients that encourage the production of collagen and so help your skin to retain its youthful appearance. One of these is Phytessence Wakame which is an exotic kelp that is found in Japan. This works by blocking a harmful enzyme in your body. Another ingredient is Xtend-TK which actually stimulates your own collagen to grow again.
