Timeless Beauty

I take care of my skin well by using organic anti aging skin care products as possible. When I purchase beauty products off the shelf I am careful in reading the list of ingredients at the back. Who knows that scientifically sounding ingredient could be plugging my pores or perhaps scarring my skin gradually? Imagine my delight in finding a beauty and skin care company engaged in providing only the most natural and safe products for its clientele. Ecco Bella has only the choicest ingredients for its beauty and skin care product line. It also makes sure its products were never tested on animals. From Ecco Bella's FAQ page we learn that Ecco Bella products are non-comedogenic and preservative-free. All Ecco Bella products are preservative-free except for Shampoo, Conditioner, Mascara and Natural Foundation. But we were assured that over time these products will become preservative-free as well. In addition to that we learn that grapefruit seed extract and vitamin E, which are popula...

I was out shopping yesterday for my monthly supply of bathroom and skin care products. As much as possible I'd like to buy natural beauty products. So I kept checking out the list of ingredients on the label at the back of each product I pick regardless of the brand name. Some I can barely read because of the fine print and the number of ingredients listed. I had the impression that herbal ingredients such as witch hazel and rosemary makes a difference. I have also read that denatured alcohol and salicylic acid are de rigeur for some products. They keep the acne out and cleans the skin of bacterial residue. Though the skin may not be completely cleansed, it is safe to assume that besides having minimized pores and smoother skin texture one can avoid developing acne infections if these products were used with regularity. I was particularly concerned with the ingredients in the organic skin care product I use as toner. I was able to find a good toner with the prerequisite herbal ingr...

I am a Filipina with light brown skin. We call the color of our skin "kayumanggi". I don't look Chinese, less of the Spanish-Indo hybrid, and more of the Indian-Spanish kind. As a result I have deeper seated oriental eyes, and more hair on my Asian skin. The last characteristic may be attractive to some of the opposite sex, but to me, having too much unwanted hair can be a problem. I have heard of hair removal laser treatments before, but I have no idea how the process is done. I have lots of questions on my mind about it: will it hurt? will it leave scars on my skin? how long will take before I have that smooth hairless appearance I've been longing for? These questions were finally answered when I stumbled upon a Dallas hair removal treatment site, Advanced Skin Fitness. Advanced Skin Fitness offers two kinds of laser hair removal methods: one is for lighter skin and another for skin of color or darker skin. The first one, GentleLASE, is used to remove unwanted hai...

Most anti aging skin care products are usually geared towards women. Lotions, serums, and creams are packaged and marketed with the female buyer in mind. It is rather unusual to find products for men who are concerned with wrinkles and aging. Introducing the one of the newest products against aging created for men: the Anti-Wrinkle After Shave. DermaLAstyl-m is an anti-wrinkle after shave that contains a special formula composed of real human elastin in the form of Elastrophin (registered trademark). This ingredient is purported to restore youthful appearance and improve one's skin in just a few months of regular use. Since Elastrophin® is made from organic sources, it is readily absorbed by human skin, and delivers genuine human elastin to the skin. The protein elastin keeps skin flexible and able to stretch or contract, and then return to its normal shape. Elastin is lost as we age, making signs of aging appear more frequently and likely permanently. With the use of Anti Aging De...

One thing I love about beauty salons is the kind of customer service they deliver. I like it that they know how to take care of you. And once you have become a regular customer they show their appreciation by giving you privileges not usually offered to other clients. What's more you get to know some wonderful people at the beauty salon, both the other regular clients and the beauty consultants there. They are a happy bunch, always joking and laughing. And of course, if you are into gossip, you will find a treasure when you stay longer. Everybody's got a story to tell, no matter how true it is or whether it should be talked about in the first place. The best beauty salons give you quality services because of the training their employees have undergone, and the level of quality service they expect them to deliver. This is referred as quality service management. Constant changes in their service policy is undertaken based on continued customer feedback and on research on the newe...

I wonder... Will snail extract cream be effective in fighting anti aging signs on skin? According to an Eye Beauty Tips article , it can! Apparently a paste made from the secretions of snails can plump up, smoothen and soften skin. This amazing discovery was made by workers in a snail farm. Their skin became baby soft after handling the snails everyday. It seems snails can regenerate their shells when their shells were damaged or became diseased. The same substance that helps snails will also help human skin to regenerate and be rejuvenated. It was mentioned in the Eye Beauty Tips article that a pharmaceutical company is taking advantage of this discovery to create an effective anti aging skin care product to combat wrinkles and acne. Additional ingredients are allantoin, collagen, natural peptides, proteins, vitamins and glycolic acid. However, after researching the scientific name of the snail variety mentioned (extraviada natural Alantonia) in the said article, I couldn't find i...

Anti-Ageing ice cream with fruit flavors by Anonymous Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa January 16 2004 -- A South African company, the Renewal Centre - who bill themselves as South Africa's Antidote to Stress, brought a whole new meaning to therapy and a unique South African sensory experience, in their announcement of their world first range of organic Vinetherapy™ Ice Creams using the same fruit flavours that are used as descriptors for wine, with flecks of grape seed extract which offer anti-oxidant properties.

I just got a sage advice from Cavyl Stewart : "Knowing your skin type is important because this will help you determine the right skin care products, soaps or cleansers to use." I read her latest newsletter about this. I echo her sentiments too. Before buying the latest anti aging skin care product try to find out first what type of skin you have. Here are the four basic skin types to identify: Normal skin (the ideal skin type) has medium-sized pores has an even texture appears smooth and healthy looking has good circulation and color has a tendency to become a little dry around the cheeks Oily skin has a more shiny skin tone has larger pores blackheads and blemishes are more prevalent Dry skin feels tight; more so after cleansing more prone to fine wrinkles, red patches and flaking appears dull due to the buildup of dead skin Sensitive skin delicate, thin and has fine pores appears to blush more easily can be susceptible to rashes and other skin irritations broken capillarie...

by Mitamins Team This article discusses about the uses and benefits of grape seed extract. The article explains how grape seed extract benefits us in treating cardiovascular diseases, allergies, cataracts, and providing skin care. Grape seed extract is a natural source of a powerful antioxidant called OPC. It is twenty and fifty times more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E respectively. In addition, grape seed extract is good for brain support and eye health as it possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties besides being an environmentally friendly antioxidant. Grape seed extract can support the treatment of aging by stopping the onset of degenerative mental diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, and also by slowing down the outer aging process. Grape seed extract is also used in the treatment of cancer by suppressing tumor growth and providing protection against the effects of internal and external stresses. Another benefit of grape seed extract is t...

By: Alien It's when tension becomes long term - as it has for so many of us - that your mood, your body, and your beauty - suffers. The following conditions are common beauty­ leaching reactions to stress. Fortunately, most disappear once you stop feeling frantic. Spots and breakouts: The stress response hormone, cortisol, causes the body to secrete extra androgen, a sex hormone that increases sebum production. This excess sebum clogs pores and leads to blackheads and whiteheads. Pale complexion: Have you ever looked in the mirror one morning during a particularly hellish week at work and wondered why you look so washed out? Blame it on a decrease in blood flow to the skin, because blood is what gives skin its rosy glow. A stressed body prioritizes its blood flow, sending the majority of blood to vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs and, therefore, away from the skin. Stress is not a disease. It can, however, lead to numerous ailments and aggravate any existing health con...
