DR Vijay Kumar asked:
Do you love yourself and do you love your skin? Our skin is one of our most lovable assets. We nurture and cherish the glow and beauty of our skin. So, why not choose the best natural skincare for your most lovable asset- your skin.
In the course of the daily dealings and meetings we have with people, our skin gets the most attention. It is a sign of our health and well being. So, it becomes really very important for us to choose the best natural skincare, which should also be a scientific system of skincare.
A major shift towards Natural Skincare
In the course of last few years, there has been a major shift on the issue of skincare from the synthetic, drug based products towards a more natural scientific system skincare.
Clearly, the best natural skincare should also be based on sound scientific grounds. We must be careful of such products which have the label “natural” or “organic”, when in fact they are not. The manufacturers just used the words to increase their sales.
Unfortunately, a lot of skincare companies still use a lot of parabens and fragrances which are deadly carcinogens. They make all attempts so that their creams smell the best, without bothering about the effects it shall have on your skin’s long term health.
A word of caution- You must use the best natural skincare products because what you apply on your skin is literally “eaten” by your body. The substances pass through your pores, and finally make way towards your bloodstream and tissues. Now just imagine how much harm you could cause yourself by compromising on the best natural skincare issue.
The Importance of Scientific System Skincare
The use of scientific system skincare can give you an upper edge when it comes to selecting the best natural skincare. It is because the use of science makes natural substances more easiely and readily absorbable by our body.
A scientific system skincare does exactly this. For example, when it is known that a particular plant has great anti aging potential, then using its extract for the best natural skincare product is much more effective, rather than using the whole plant.
This gives us the best of both worlds- Nature and Science.
Natural Substances your skin would love you for!
One such natural substance which is being used successfully in the best natural skincare products is Phytessence Wakame. It is an extract from a special type of Japanese sea kelp. It is also consumed as a food there. And now its extracts are being used by some elite skincare products due to its amazing and promising benefits on skin health and anti aging.
Phytessence Wakame has shown these outstanding benefits in clinical trials on human volunteers-
1) It has vitamins that are very beneficial in reducing skin inflammation. Constant inflammation breaks down to structure of skin proteins and leads to premature aging of the skin.
2) It is an effective antioxidant. It kills the free radicals that damage the skin cells and tissues. Thus it gives a soft and supple skin.
3) An active ingredient in Phytessence Wakame is sulphated polyfocose. This has shown excellent protection of skin from the harmful UV rays and also from environmental toxins.
4) It protects a vital hyaluronic acid in our skin from being damaged. Hyaluronic acid is very important because it works with the two most important skin proteins called collagen and elastin, in keeping our skin soft, supple, elastic and healthy.
This is just one of the amazing natural substances that have a great potential of giving you naturally glowing young skin. I have covered a lot of such natural skincare ingredients in my website.
No wonder then, your skin, which is also your most lovable asset deserves the best natural skincare!

100% Pure Skincare – are You Still Looking for It?

Kathryn Lane asked:
Nearly all of us would love to find 100% pure skincare. After many years of artificial everything, we’ve noticed that natural is almost always better. Holistic skincare is our goal these days.
It’s a great goal. We do need to be realistic about it, though.
if by 100% pure, you mean that no processing of any ingredient is allowed, there is no 100% pure skincare product.
If by holistic skincare you mean that ingredients must be exactly as they are found in nature, whole and complete, then there is no such thing as holistic skincare.
The simple truth: some type of careful processing, as natural and holistic as possible, must take place before even the finest skincare ingredients can be used in a skincare product.
Intelligent processing, done with a respect for the power of the natural plants, makes herbal supplements more effective than the plants they come from. Often only an extract (the active ingredients) of the plant is used.
Just because there’s no 100% pure skincare, you’re quite right to look for the purest, most holistic skincare product you can find. One thing that means is, avoiding the common, but untrustworthy, ingredients.
Don’t trust the following:
– Parabens, to take one of the most common ingredients in skincare products. You’ll see them listed as methylparaben, ethylparaben, benzylparaben and others.
They’re preservatives, to lengthen product shelf life; they are absorbed into the body through the skin; and they are suspected carcinogens.
– Fragrances. Sorry, but fragrances are made from dangerous chemicals that can irritate your skin. If you want to wear a nice scent, use a body spray or a dab of perfume. That’s not avoiding fragrances completely, but it’s much safer than rubbing a scented product into your body.
– Triclosan. Suspected of helping to create widespread antibiotic resistance.
In your search for holistic skincare, here are some ingredients, extracted from pure, natural plant sources, with their effectiveness demonstrated in quality studies:
Phytessence Wakame — based on a natural sea kelp, native to Japan. Wakame is a natural part of the skincare that keeps Japanese women looking so young.
Cynergy TK™ — this is a natural substance extracted from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. Cynergy TK™ contains functional keratin, and has been shown in studies to actually stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, proteins essential for firm, supple skin.
Of course, true holistic skincare includes not just pure cosmetic ingredients, but some regular exercise, and diet, too. Leafy green vegetables, both in salads and cooked, quality protein sources such as fish, and pure filtered water are all natural gifts to your skin.
So if 100% pure skincare isn’t possible, you’re still on the right track by looking for it.
