Back From the Dead With Dry Itchy Skin
By
Dee SmithMy friend's granddaughter was suffering horribly from dry itchy skin. She scratched herself raw and drew blood. When she wasn't scratching she lay listless and we were all very worried about her. The cortisone cream prescribed by the doctor helped, but could not be used indefinitely without dangerous side effects.
We needed to find a rich lotion that would nourish and heal. We'd already tried several that seemed like thin soup and did nothing. As we were trying to steer clear of chemicals we researched and asked for help. We had to save this poor girl.
We ultimately learned a great deal about what it would take. Anything containing chemicals was ruled out. These would only make her dry itchy skin worse.
The most obvious chemicals we found listed were parabens, fragrances and mineral oil. Parabens were used as filler. Parabens can cause cancer! Fragrances can irritate and worse. Mineral oil clogs the pores and won't even allow the skin to breathe.
When someone's system is already compromised with a debilitating condition you want to give them a fighting chance with the purest ingredients that exist. Greedy companies use those fillers because they are the most inexpensive things they can find.
These are the ingredients we finally came up with for curing our girl's dry itchy skin:
CynergyTK™, a very new breakthrough in skin care . It is proven to regrow collagen and elastin. It goes a long way toward promoting healthy skin.
Phytessence Wakame boosts hyaluronic acid, which is another must have for healthy skin. This potent extract from Japanese sea kelp is able to inhibit a harmful enzyme which breaks down the hyaluronic acid so desperately needed to fix dry itchy skin.
Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 is an absorbent form of CoEnzyme Q10, which is very well absorbed and goes seven layers deep. It is extremely effective in cleaning up the free radicals that cause inflamation, The CoEnzyme Q10 that doesn't contain Nano won't have the ability to penetrate so this is a must. Free radicals are the enemy and our bodies make them, even when we are doing something good like exercising.
While the grandmother and I desperately searched for a solution for this poor child she endured many bouts of scratching and had several infections. She was even hospitalized but we were glad they didn't keep her as we were afraid she could get a staff infection.
Also we had no way of knowing what they were actually giving her. Maybe they were pumping her full of the very chemicals we were trying to avoid.
We searched the internet 'til all hours of the night, together and independently, and in the end we both came up with the same company that made these products. The day we began treating this little girl with the special lotion we saw improvement fast. Each day was better than the last.
The dry itchy skin quickly disappeared. We were able to take the mitts off her hands, which had to be very uncomfortable. The scratching stopped completely and we rejoiced.
If you know anyone with a similar condition please visit my website. No one should suffer the way this little girl did. Thank goodness our story has a happy ending.

Miracle Cure For Dry Itchy Skin
By
Dee SmithPeople can suffer from dry itchy skin for a variety of reasons. It's a difficult condition to live with because scratching can break the epidermis and cause infection. To say nothing of the misery, discomfort and embarrassment that goes with it.
Cortisone based medications can bring relief but they cannot be used for long periods of time without dangerous side effects. A much better option is to use a natural product that can do you no harm in the process of healing you. Do yourself a favor and look for an effective body lotion that has no nasty chemicals in it.
It's important to know what to look for as there are so many choices out there, trying to tempt you.. Sadly most body lotions will do little to alleviate a dry itchy skin condition. In fact if you choose the wrong lotion you could easily make things worse. But get the right the first time and your suffering days will be over.
Rather than risk buying an inferior product here's what you need to burn into your mind. You want a product that will give you the best hydration, not something that will make your problem worse.
Please remember to be on the lookout for a body lotion with pure, chemical free products. There are so many lotions to choose from that it's easy to get confused. Be armed with the information I'm about to give you when you make your choice.
You have to study the ingredients carefully. Sometimes they are so tiny you need to use a magnifying glass. Don't be ashamed t use one. Better safe than sorry.
Before you make a move take the time to familiarize yourself with ingredients to avoid.
Mineral Oil. Sometimes it's listed as Parafin. Be on the alert for this cheap filler. There's nothing healing about it. In fact it clogs the pores, only making matters worse. In the long run your dry itchy skin will continue to plague you. The only reason companies use it is because it costs next to nothing.
Fragrances are definitely something you want to avoid. Naturally we are all drawn to lovely scents, but fragrances can be very drying. On a more serious note, they can actually cause cancer.
To repeat, the bad ingredients are: Mineral Oil or Parafin and Fragrances.
What you should be looking for is a pure, top of the line lotion that will heal your dry itchy skin. These are the good ingredients to look for.
Elastin. It will provide smoothness and flexibility necessary for healing.
Collagen. It will bolster your skin to make it firm and healthy.
Cynergy TK. It will help the epidermis to retain its needed natural moisture. It will even help your own elastin and collagen to grow again. It works like magic.
CoQ10. This powerful antioxidant is imperative for healing your dry itchy skin. But it is a tricky product. Be sure it is the kind with Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, a special version of CoQ10.
You see, the CoQ10 you buy in body lotion just lies there not doing much good. But Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 can penetrate down 7 layers deep, providing incomparable healing.
When these four ingredients are blended into a body lotion you'll be ecstatic with the results.

Get Rid of Cellulite Dimples With This All Natural Approach
By
B MathesonThere's a lot of hype around getting rid of cellulite naturally. There are clinic procedures such as Mesotherapy and Endermologie® that work, but they're pricey and can have some painful side effects. Most women would rather deal with the fact of know their cellulite is still there below the skin but no one can see the cellulite dimples. Hence the self conscious aspect of cellulite is gone.
The Natural Methods
Contrary to belief diet has little ability to reduce the look of cellulite on your body. The deposits of fat just below the skin surface that cause dimples to appear are some what sheltered from the rest of the body. Blood circulation to the area is poor, thus the metabolic pathways of the body aren't working as well.
Exercise on the other hand can have a positive effects on cellulite, but not the way you probably imagine. The dimples we see on the skin are caused by fat being pressed up against connective tissues below the skin. As we exercise, especially those areas affected, you begin to build muscle tone. The muscle tone begins to over take the dimples and firm your skin. This leaves your legs and buttocks looking and feeling firmer with fewer cellulite dimples
The Finishing Touch
To both improve and speed up the process of reducing cellulite dimples often a
cellulite lotion can be used. Lotions of this type contain all natural ingredients that are safe to apply to your skin daily. Often a stimulant of some sort is a key ingredient such as caffeine.
Stimulants will boost the blood flow to the area and stimulate the metabolic pathways of the area. This provides an instant boost to reducing the visible appearance of cellulite dimples.
Beyond caffeine or other stimulants anti cellulite lotions generally also contain firming and smoothing ingredients. Natural ingredients such as Retinol A, Shea Butter and Horsetail extract firm and tone the skin as they're consistently applied. This produces a similar result to long term exercise with less effort.
For the best results of reducing cellulite dimples you should participate in a health exercise program each week and use a quality cellulite cream daily. This will produce the quickest and most drastic results.

cellulite creams can reduce the appearance of dimples on your legs visit our website. We've posted numerous product reviews and articles to help educate where cellulite comes from and how best to treat it.

Go Green With Your Sunscreen
By
Lisa A MasonMany people wait all winter for spring and summer to roll around so they can begin having fun in the sun. However, it doesn't always end in fun. Each year thousands of people find out they have skin cancer and often it was caused from long exposure to the suns UV rays. Many of these cases could have been prevented if they had simply used sunscreen when spending any significant amount of time out in the sun.
Choosing the right sunscreen is vital and there are ones available that does not contain harsh chemicals, which can also be harmful to your skin. Most people look for sunscreen based on its SPF rating. The problem with this is the fact that the SPF rating of a sunscreen is based solely on the damage caused by the UVB rays. However, UVA rays are the ones that cause the most damage to the skin. In order to be fully protected, you need to use sunscreen that protects you from both types of UV rays.
When searching for green sunscreen you need to look for ones that have "broad-spectrum protection" and with mineral ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These minerals will physically block the UV rays that cause sunburn, cancer and premature aging. You can search for sunscreen that contains plant-based ingredients when swimming in the ocean to avoid causing damage to the coral in the water.
Sunscreens that contain chemicals don't block the rays, they absorb them. Many of them also break down from the sun which means after a short period of time, they won't provide you with the protection you need. Choosing to go green with your sunscreen is healthier for you and it's better for the environment. Once you find the right sunscreen, it's important to apply it to the skin about thirty minutes before going outside. Re-apply after going swimming, sweating and about every two hours if not swimming.

The Truth About Organic Face Cream
By
Andrea MarshallIs it really organic face cream or is it something else? That's a question that has to be asked, because there are not a lot of regulations concerning what's inside of that bottle. It could be the best antioxidant face cream organic product available, but not necessarily.
The consumer's best and only real source of honest information is the label of ingredients. But, that's not an easy source to read. The long list alone is enough to make a person feel overwhelmed.
If you commonly buy organics in the grocery store, you will see that there are certifications like "USDA Certified Organic". In order to earn that certification, growers must be evaluated by the government. They cannot use pesticides, herbicides, lead-based fertilizers or other un-natural farming aids.
The USDA will not give the certification to an organic face cream. Although if the manufacturer happened to also be the grower, the farm could be USDA certified. But, even if that were true, chemicals used during the manufacturing process could still turn something good, into something bad.
A recent example was not of an antioxidant face cream organic product, but of one developed for cleansing. Four different manufacturers claimed to provide organics, all-natural, safe cleansers, but evaluation by the State of California showed that the finalized product contained cancer-causing Dioxane. The cause was the use of the petrochemical ethylene oxide, during the manufacturing process. Dioxane forms as a byproduct.
If a company wanted to make safe and effective antioxidant face cream organic products, they would avoid using any petrochemicals during the manufacturing process. They would not only evaluate the raw ingredients, but also each final batch.
Not many manufacturers do that, but a few do. If you really wanted a safe and effective organic face cream, it would be worth your while to look for one of those few.
While most effective ingredients can be derived from plant extracts, there are a couple of exceptional anti-aging ingredients that cannot. One is the protein keratin. The other is coenzyme Q10.
Manufacturers in New Zealand have learned how to extract the protein keratin from sheep's wool and process it just enough to allow it to be used in skincare products, without destroying its basic functions. Keratin is used by the body to make new skin cells, among other things.
You might find an antioxidant face cream organic product containing the protein keratin. Sheep farmers can forego the use of chemicals, steroids and antibiotics. Many of the farmers in New Zealand are trusted to do that.
You might be able to find an organic face cream claiming to contain coenzyme Q10, but that would be unusual. The main sources of COQ10 are fish.
Since COQ10 and keratin stimulate the production of new cells and fibers, repair free radical damage and prevent further damage from occurring, while improving the skin's moisture content and firmness, you might want to give up your search for strictly antioxidant face cream organic solutions. You don't really need an organic face cream, as long as the ingredients are safe enough to eat.

Take Care of Your Skin and it Will Take Care of You!
By
Dan HoHave you ever thought about what kind of damage you are doing to your skin each and every day? Not many people ever stop to think about it.
However, every single time you laugh, every time you get mad and frown, you are on your way to creating future wrinkles. Each time that you smoke a cigarette or sit near someone who is, or have another mixed drink, you are depriving your skin of the nutrients that it needs to replenish itself and keep wrinkles at bay.
Each and every time you lay out to get a good tan, or even go outdoors at all, the sun is beating down on your skin, and causing damage that you may not see for years to come, and when you do see it, it may be too late to reverse all of the effects.
Your best line of defense against wrinkles and other skin problems is to avoid any unnecessary negative influences, like the aforementioned and try to eat a healthy diet with plenty of fatty fish and greens. However, there is also nothing better than having an excellent skin care regimen.
When we think about aging skin care, anti wrinkle cream may be the very first thing that comes to mind.
It is true that there are many such products out there that can do a world of good for your skin, but how would you ever know which ones to use?
There are so many different anti wrinkle creams and lotions on the market today, that you could easily get frustrated and give up rather than take the time to sift through all the different brands. However you should remember that when it comes to your skin care, the right anti wrinkle cream is going to be one of your best lines of defense.
It may seem like a daunting task, but as long as you remember a few important factors, you will be able to find an anti wrinkle eye cream that will work well.
First, you must always keep in mind that your skin is unique and it reacts different ways to skin care ingredients. What works great for you may not work so well for someone else and vice versa. It may be necessary for you to try several different creams before you really find one that makes a significant difference in your skin tone and texture.
Next, researching ingredients and products online can give you a wealth of information on skin care, anti wrinkle creams, and other helpful things to keep your skin youthful and fresh. The biggest tip I can give you now is to make sure you stick to products with ingredients that have been clinically tested on real humans (not lab rats) by credible third party sources, preferably medical establishments and universities.
In fact, you've already taken the first step in doing your research by reading this article.
Sadly, most people spend no time in researching the products they use and defer to a high paid celebrity on a TV ad pitching a skin care line they don't even really use.
This is all the more amazing considering just how important our skin is. Separate yourself from the pack, research a healthy daily regimen, stick to it consistently, and it will keep you looking your best for many years to come.
Dan Ho is a strong proponent of natural health in all its forms: skin care, supplementation, and farm fresh foods. Dan enjoys introducing people to the best natural products he can find and uses himself daily.

Natural Skincare: 7 Things You Need to Know
By
Bill R. JonesAre you frustrated with the amount of lies being perpetrated by the skincare companies.
Especially when it comes to natural skincare.
Many of the "natural skincare products" these skincare companies are producing aren't even natural to begin with in the purest sense.
Here are some tips to help you avoid certain ingredients found in "natural skincare".
Acrylamide: Found in many hand and face creams. Studies suggest it may cause breast tumors.
Alcohols: ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and SD alcohol - Very drying and irritating for the skin. Alcohols strip away the skin's natural acid mantle, making you more vulnerable to bacteria, moulds and viruses. May promote brown spots and premature aging of skin. (Note: We do use stearyl and cetearyl alcohol, which are waxes and have nothing in common with the alcohols listed above.)
DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), and TEA (triethanolamine): Often used in skincare products to adjust the pH. TEA causes allergic reactions including eye problems, dryness of hair and skin, and could be toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time. These chemicals are already restricted in Europe due to known carcinogenic effects.
Dioxane: (a synthetic derivative of coconut). Widely used in skincare products. Usually contains high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. 1,4-dioxane is considered a chemical "known to the State of California to cause cancer." It is a by-product of the cancer-causing petrochemical ethylene oxide, which is used as part of a process called ethoxylation, which makes harsh ingredients milder.
1,4-Dioxane is also suspected of being a kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant and respiratory toxicant, among others, according to the California EPA. It is also a leading groundwater contaminant.
Fragrance: The term 'fragrance' is a real minefield. It can refer to up 4000 separate ingredients, many toxic or carcinogenic. Many common fragrances can affect the central nervous system, causing depression, hyperactivity, and irritability.
Mineral oil: liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, petrolatum - a petroleum by-product that coats the skin to keep in moisture. It clogs the pores, interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, encouraging acne and other disorders. Can cause photosensitivity and strips the natural oils from the skin causing chapping and dryness, also premature ageing. Any mineral oil derivative can be contaminated with cancer causing PAH's (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons). Skincare manufacturers use mineral oil because it's cheap.
Nitrosamines: Can be formed in skincare products when amines (such as DEA, MEA or TEA) are combined with formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (such as bronopol or quaternium-15). Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic.
Avoiding these dangerous ingredients may not only give you better skin but may also save your life.
Your next step is to find more natural substances such as Cynergy TK, phytessences wakame and Babassu which is a natural wax.
Fortunately I have put a detailed list of natural ingredients to that need to be in the natural skincare you are using.
Now thanks to these natural ingredients getting old isn't an option but having old looking skin is, see you on the other side.
