Natural Cosmetics - Using Nature's Best

Are you concerned about the possible harmful effects of cosmetics? More and more consumers are turning to natural cosmetics made with organic and herbal ingredients to keep themselves and the environment safe. Synthetic materials found in some products can do damage. In contrast to artificial chemicals, natural cosmetics are specially formulated not to hurt or irritate.

Beauty from All Natural Cosmetics

Few people realize that skin is a "dynamic tissue". Up to 60% of the makeup we apply is absorbed into our bloodstream! Cosmetics are an important part of life but we need to be aware of the damage chemicals have on our system. The only way to correct this is to find something less harmful. Natural and organic herbal cosmetics are the answer - grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and genetically engineered seeds.
Tip! Applying Mineral Cosmetics Ultra Mattes For Eyes - Recommended brushes: firm shadow brush, angle liner.

Naturally formulated cosmetics are much safer and almost free of artificial additives. Plant waxes, essential oils, and extracts from flowers are good alternatives. If given proper care, problems such as acne, dermatitis, allergies and other irritations can be kept to a minimum.

History

Nations became conscious of the environment and the limitations on so much of the world's resources. Endangered plant and animal species around the world were identified and quickly became outlawed for hunting and harvesting. The use of products derived from these sources was banned. The sperm whale produced waxes that were greatly valued for their function in cosmetics. During the 60's and 70's a liquid wax (jojoba oil) found in the deserts of California, Arizona and Mexico was found by scientists. It not only replaced the prohibited wax from the sperm whale but appeared to actually be superior.
Tip! We invite you to give our natural products a try. They are completely natural, vegan and an excellent alternative to conventional cosmetics and make-up.

This oil is an excellent moisturizing agent and has spreading and lubricating properties. It leaves a rich non-oily velvety feel and enhances flexibility and suppleness. Studies done at the University of Michigan demonstrated that it is quickly absorbed. Because of this, pores and hair follicles remain open maintaining their proper functioning ability.

Applied directly and as often as required it is known to reduce wrinkles and bring relief to sensitive skin. The desert peoples of Southern California and Mexico had long been using it to treat rashes and cuts because of anti-bacterial qualities.

More Natural Ingredients Found in Cosmetics

Natural vitamin C is used to reduce wrinkles, moisturize and repair sun damage. A study recently showed that applying topical Vitamin C, 15 to 30 minutes after UV exposure, sunburn cells decreased and repair to the damage had begun. The one problem of this vitamin is that it is unstable when left open to the air. Research is continuing to optimize this but one consistent way is to use an anhydrous (no water) base cream.
Tip! Get rid of that patch of graying hair, mask that niggling pimple, and banish the ugliness of your nose albeit temporarily with some prudently used cosmetics.

Aloe vera is a soothing plant and the base of many natural cleansing formulas, offering exfoliation, moisturizing and protection. Coconut oils, too, provide effective care for a soft, wrinkle-free youthful look.

Caring for Sensitive and Dry Skin

If you have a sensitive type of skin you know that its fine, delicate texture reacts quickly to heat and cold. Sunburn and windburn happen way too easily and are prone to allergic reactions. It is often dry and some detergents, cosmetics and alcohol cause irritation that leaves red and blotchy patches.

Always use sunscreen lotions or creams. Wash the face with mild baby soap, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. Do not use anything rough. Always test perfume or makeup on the inside of the wrist first in case of a reaction.

Applying Cosmetics

There is an art to applying make up to the face and in particular to the eyes. There are interactive sites that will allow you to try different colors. Use the appropriate product - cleansers, moisturizers and creams and remember to remove makeup at the end of the day. Keep a check on the dates and replace items as needed.
Tip! Yves Saint Laurent cosmetics is known for its full line of cosmetics including moisturizers, foundations, blush, eye shadow, eye liner, lipstick, and more. Although the makeup side of the cosmetics line is becoming very popular, its offerings do not stop there.

Cosmetics Tips

Cosmetics should be kept fairly simple - easy and quick. Used not only to accentuate eyes, lips and color for the cheeks but also to camouflage problems such as pigmentations, irregularities, roughness and blemishes. It is important that a woman be noticed for herself rather than for her makeup. Beauty tips provide help with the application. Pamper yourself with a quality product and feel confident in both how you feel and look.
