Skin Home Care

You might be asking why do my skin care products have to be certified organic in order to have multiple uses? Good question! The answer is simply this; I wouldn’t recommend using any products that aren’t certified organic anywhere other than where it’s intended to be used due to the fact that many of the products can contain carcinogens and other toxic substances. Certified organic skin care products are however a different story as they do not contain anything toxic.

First Tip: Use your organic hair styling gel to darken your eyebrows. Forget having to use your eyeliner just take a dab of hair gel and smooth it over each eyebrow to generate a deeper tone. This will also keep your eyebrows in position throughout the day.

Second Tip: If your used to using a waterproof mascara and are having trouble with smudging when it’s not waterproof remember these tips when you apply. First of all set your foundation, powder, eyeshadow etc. with a light hydrating mist and let that dry. Next add another thin layer of powder under the eye to make sure there isn’t any moisture that will cause the mascara to smudge. Only after this should you apply your mascara.

Third Tip: Before you go to bed at night apply a small dab of lotion (only if it is certified organic) to your lips to keep them extra soft. (And don’t forget to smother your feet with lotion so that you don’t get dry callused feet)

Fourth Tip: Use an exfoliating scrub on your legs to remove dead skin then nourish them with lotion. You can also use a hydrating mist on your legs if you have one.

Fifth Tip: After applying all your makeup (except your mascara) spray a light mist over your face to set your makeup for the day. A hydrating mist is the perfect choice for setting your makeup.

As you walk through today’s health and natural food grocery stores you will find an extensive selection of “natural” skin and body care products. These products will range from toothpaste and deodorant to cosmetics, lotion, and hair care. It seems that many of the companies providing these products are striving to promote their products as “natural” since today’s consumers seem to have a preference towards any product labeled “natural”. This definitely makes sense because really who would walk up and purchase a bottle that says “loaded with silicone derivatives” or “extra carcinogens”.

Now you’re thinking no one in there right mind would do this right. I mean who goes to the store and actually tries to buy a skin care product that will cause their body damage. Actually most people these days do exactly that, unknowingly of course as they aren’t aware of the toxic ingredients in the product of their choice. What people need to start realizing is that not every company that throws the word natural on their product really cares about the ingredients being truly natural. If you do a little research on the ingredients in skin care the information is alarming as you find that many skin care products contain carcinogens and other toxic ingredients. Check out a website called skin deep for more information on what is in your skin care.

Aren’t skin care products supposed to be helping your body not hurting it? Yes, they are but unfortunately that isn’t the case with all of the products available. This is where certified organic skin and body care products come in. When they are certified organic they have to meet strict requirements by the certifying body and are very safe for the consumer. Certified organic skin care products are made up of ingredients you can actually read and understand such as avocado oil and safflower oil not six syllable words that don’t mean a thing to you. This way you actually know what you are feeding your skin rather than just hoping it works because the company that made it claims it will.

When you go to purchase a “natural” product be sure to research the company producing it. Find out what their stand is on ingredients such as silicone derivatives and the like are. See if there focus is on a toxin free line of skin care or just one that smells good etc. There are wonderful certified organic skin care products available so don’t settle for some supposedly natural junk when you can have the best available for your skin.
