At 40 You’re Beginning To Wonder What The Top Skin Care For 40 Year Old Women Is.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on December 11, 2011
You’re forty and you’ve finally realized why your mother was so interested in skin care. Perhaps you’re noticing for the first time that your daughters skin seems to be so much better than yours is now.
Now of course 40 isn’t that old but in skin terms the skin aging process is under way. You’re skin is aging and the results are visible.
But there’s more that you need to do than just looking for the top skin care products for 40 year old women. The first thing you need to do is to take all that advice that you’ve read for years about keeping healthy.
Because keeping healthy produces not just a healthy body but healthy skin as well. And healthy skin is good looking skin. You can’t have healthy skin if you smoke, you’re fat and unfit and live on burgers and pizza.
Sorry, I know that’s not good news but you need to make the effort to take care of your health and your health will take care of your skin.
Remember, smoking is about the single worst thing you can do for your skin. Just don’t smoke.
Don’t get burned. Sunburn is almost as bad for your skin as smoking, and can even give you skin cancer, something you definitely don’t want.
Make sure you eat plenty of good fresh vegetables and fruit as well and you’re giving your body and skin plenty of good vitamins and minerals and anti oxidants.
And although it may seem strange to link exercise and skin it is important to do plenty of exercise.
But there’s more needed than that. There are excellent skincare products for 40 year old women, though they are no different from the best skin care products for fifty year old women or the best skin care products for thirty year old women. They’re just the best skin care products period.
But if you start using great skin care products at 40 you’ve got a reasonable chance of stopping or even reversing some of the damage age has done to your skin. For example the gradual loss of collagen and elastin that you experience as you age is one of the biggest conditions that result in poor skin health, wrinkles, lines and sagging skin.
At forty you’ve got a good chance of combating this if you start now. At 60 or 70 you don’t. Because there are very good skin care products that really do work for forty year old women or anyone else, its just a case of how early you start to use them. The earlier the better.
So if 40 is in your past and you’ve started thinking more and more about finding the best skin care products for 40 year old women then if you follow that advice you’ll be way in front. Get healthy and start using the best skin care products.
Leave it too late and that’s just it, too late. Follow this advice to the letter and starting early and you’ll be way in front of women who leave it till their 50s or 60s.
And if you really want to find the worlds best skin care products then head over to my website.

You Don’t Need The Best Moisturizer. Here’s 4 Steps To Great Looking Well Moisturized Skin.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on November 16, 2011
Does that confuse you? Surly if you want great looking well moisturized skin you need to find the best moisturizer? No, and here’s why, and also here’s 4 steps to great looking skin that is also well moisturized skin.
There’s one way to have well moisturized great looking skin that doesn’t sag or feel dry, looks great, has few wrinkles and makes you feel great. It’s to have healthy skin. If your skin isn’t healthy skin no amount of using the best face moisturizer there is will make it like that.
I’ll repeat that. The way to well moisturized skin is to make sure your skin is healthy. Healthy skin is well moisturized skin just because, being healthy, it keeps itself moisturized. That’s just common sense. After all, babies have healthy well moisturized skin but don’t use moisturizers.
So should you be looking for the best moisturizer you can find or should you be looking for skin care products that target overall skin healthy and make your skin better like that? And is there some other things you can do to ensure healthy skin?
What else can you do to make your skin healthy other than using good quality skin care products?
Well there’s some simple stuff. Simple but not necessarily easily. There 4 things you need to do to have great looking healthy and well moisturized skin.
1. A good diet is essential to good health, and a healthy body makes for a healthy skin. It all goes together. You need to eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits every single day, and your body, and skin, will be healthier.
2. You must exercise. Exercise is good for the body too, and gets the blood moving better. Better blood circulation is important for good skin health.
3. There’s 2 things you mustn’t do if you want to have great skin. Smoke or get sunburned. Both are just terrible for your skin, and no amount of skin moisturizing is ever going to repair the damage caused to your skin by smoking or excessive sunburn.
4. Use the best skin care products that are targeted to improving overall skin health as well as improving skin moisture by way of better skin health. There is no point in just moisturizing. You’re after great looking skin and moisturizing is only a part of it.
Yes the skin care products that moisturize better than any others aren’t in fact a moisturizer at all. They are products that include natural moisturizers that are better than the ingredients in the big brand name moisturizers, but they aren’t moisturizers. And so if you search the best moisturizers you won’t even find them.
So the best facial moisturizer isn’t really a moisturizer at all. And remember, there’s way more you can do to improve your skin than just using the best moisturizer.

What Does All Natural Skin Care Mean And Why Should It Matter To You?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in Anti Aging on October 20, 2011
As we age our skin ages with us and gradually we all begin to notice this and our thoughts turn to skin care. I would like to examine the problems inherent in modern anti aging products and find out why you need to know more about all natural skin care products.
Anti aging products are supposed to be good for us. They are supposed to reverse the effects of skin ageing and to reduce the visible results, namely wrinkles, skin sagging, fine lines, age spots and more. Using skin care products is supposed to be a positive in our life.
But unfortunately for many people the use of anti aging products is not a positive but a negative. There are many people who suffer negative health and skin reactions to the use of anti aging products, including skin problems like eczema and allergies. I research these types of problems because I saw it happen to a member of my own family.
And there is one simple reason for this, a reason that does not apply to all natural skin care products.
This is the reason. The big name brands of anti aging products that you see on the shelves every day contain many chemical ingredients, including petrochemicals, which are known to cause cancer as well as various forms of skin irritation and have other health implications.
I spend much of my time researching skin care products and looking at the health implications of many of the chemical ingredients which are used in them. For example just this morning I was reading the results of a study done on mice which has been published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology which concluded that the use of moisturizers containing sodium lauryl sulphate increase the risk of skin cancer in mice by 69 percent.
There’s hundreds or perhaps even thousands of studies that show that many of the nasty chemical ingredients found in so many modern anti aging products can be dangerous to your health. Parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, mineral oil, fragrances and various petroleum products are so commonly found in so many anti aging products that you may use every day. And each of these chemical ingredients has been shown in studies to pose health risks to consumers.
There’s many excellent natural ingredients which are well known to be excellent for optimum skin health and which are also extremely safe and in many cases have been eaten by people for years. These ingredients are those used in all natural anti aging products.
Of course these natural ingredients are available to all skin care companies to use but there is massive amounts of money at stake in the skin care industry and the big companies compete ferociously on price. The natural alternatives, whilst being safe and effective, are expensive whilst ingredients like mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate are very cheap. Therefore by using these ingredients skin care companies can compete on price while still allowing enough budget for television advertising.
However this situation offers an opportunity to new players in the market, and to some older players, to develop products which take advantage of the growing awareness of the problem of chemical ingredients in anti aging products. These niche companies produce excellent all natural anti aging products using ingredients which are known to be safe and which are highly effective, and usually more so than the chemical ingredients used in the big brands.
If you choose wisely you really can find excellent natural skin care products that are extremely effective for all skin types and which will not create problems with allergies or skin irritation.
Notice that I did say “if you choose wisely”. After you’ve been looking for a while, if you examine the products carefully, you will see that many products which are described on the label as natural skin care products contain many of the same chemical ingredients that the big brands do. The government doesn’t regulate what can be put into anti aging products and it doesn’t regulate the claims that can be made on the label, so anything goes.
The best all natural skin care products offer you an opportunity for excellent skin care without risking your health or your skin. They are highly effective and they need to be, because the best ones come with a money back guarantee to ensure that all customers are able to try the products risk free to establish for themselves how well they work.
So if you’re gradually becoming aware about the problems of chemical ingredients in mainstream anti aging skin care products you can be comforted in the knowledge that there are excellent all natural skin care products available that really do work well and do not subject you to the chemical risks.

Ms America Tells Us To Use Natural Skin Products And To Avoid Mainstream Skin Care Products.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on September 26, 2011
You may have heard of Susan Jeske. In 1997 Susan was crowned Ms America, and has spent 20 years of her life working in the beauty field for a major cosmetics company as a beauty consultant. But Susan Jeske has changed and now spends her time touring America telling us about the risks in using modern cosmetics and modern skin care products. She promotes the benefits of natural skin products and natural cosmetics. Why has Susan changed?
A few years ago Susan had some severe skin and health problems. She was unable to deal with them successfully and so consulted a holistic doctor. His advice was that there was a good likelihood that her health and skin problems were caused by dangerous chemical ingredients in cosmetics and skin care products. He told her to stop using them and she did so, and within 2 weeks her skin and health problems were gone. So she spent some time researching dangerous ingredients in skin care products and cosmetics and was horrified by her discoveries.
It must have come as a shock to someone who had spent a good deal of her life promoting cosmetics and modern beauty products to discover that so many of these products were laced with chemical ingredients, many of which are banned in Europe, some of which are known to cause cancer, and some of which were causing her own health problems. But Susan spent some time researching this and was horrified by what she found.
As a result Susan Jeske left her job with the cosmetics company and now speaks around the country warning of the dangers of modern mainstream cosmetics and personal products such as skin care products and others.
Susan even put together a list of 12 toxic ingredients to look for on the label of any product that you intend to buy to put on your skin. If you see any of these ingredients don’t buy the product.
Susan is not alone. There are entire organisations set up to alert consumers of the risks of modern skin care products and cosmetics. For some time I have written about this on my website can and warn about the risks of personal products and offer consumers some alternatives to buying safe natural alternatives. The FDA isn’t required to satisfy itself about the safety of any chemical ingredients used in products and doesn’t do so, and for this reason this problem continues to get worse.
Most of these chemical ingredients are used because they are extremely cheap and by using them the companies can dramatically increase their profit margins.
There are excellent natural products such as natural skin products and natural cosmetics which are available right now which use other nonchemical natural ingredients which are highly effective and which are also perfectly safe to use. However these ingredients are more expensive than the chemical alternatives and so are not used by the mainstream big name players.
It’s perfectly possible to buy high quality natural skin care products and high quality natural cosmetics right now. Small niche companies see an opportunity in manufacturing these products and marketing them to consumers who are aware of the risks with big brand skin care and cosmetics products.
If you’d like to find out more about Susan’s speaking tour you can visit her website.
And on my website you can find out more about the chemical ingredients in modern skin care products and also find out where to get safe natural skin care products which are available right now to consumers who understand the problems inherent in mainstream skin care products.

Got Sensitive Skin? Sensitive Skin Care Explained.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on September 7, 2011
Have you got sensitive skin and find that it’s getting on top of you? If so there are some simple sensitive skin tips that I can pass on to you.
Because some people don’t have sensitive skin and some people do have sensitive skin. And if it’s you that has sensitive skin you might need to.
There’s a range of annoying symptoms that come with sensitive skin like redness and blotchiness on your skin, itchiness, dryness and lots more.
And that’s not to say sensitive skin conditions can be controlled simply for everyone, you may have a specific condition that you should consult a dermatologist for. But why not try some simple stuff first and see how it works for you.
The first thing sufferers of sensitive skin need to do is to have a look at your current cosmetics and skin care products. Because there are a whole lot of skin care products and anti aging products and cosmetics that can actually cause the problem of sensitive skin. All those face masks and blushes and creams and so on can actually be the problem.
I write extensively about the nasty ingredients that are found in many big brand name cosmetics and skin care products on my website.
Things like parabens. If you haven’t read about parabens yet they are a commonly found in many cosmetics and skin care products. Parabens are a range of chemicals that are cheap to use and work as a preservative. And there is quite some doubt about the safety of parabens. For example the cosmetics database lists 2 parabens (there’s quite a few) as a hazard of at least 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. 7 or 8 is “high hazard”.
And a chemical like a paraben can itself cause skin reactions. So, ironically, the very products that you are using may well be causing your skin problems. Maybe or maybe not, but it’s worth finding out.
And so if you change your products, cosmetics, skin care products or even soaps and shampoos and more then this alone may well fix your sensitive skin problems.
I have personal experience of this. A while ago my 8 year old daughter did her first ballet concert. They applied cosmetics to her face for the performance.
Within a short time her face had broken out in a rash and we removed the cosmetics and it went away. No more big brand cosmetics for my daughter.
So maybe it’s time to have a look at those cosmetics on your shelves and those anti aging skin care products sitting there. If they’re big brand name products they may have some nasty ingredients in them that might be causing your problems with sensitive skin.
And there’s more. Use low allergenic laundry detergents. Some contain ingredients that can cause skin reactions. And avoid washing pillow cases and anything else that your face goes on in regular laundry detergent. Make sure you rinse well and avoid fragrances, as these too can cause problems.
And even for people with oily or healthy skin fragrances can cause problems.
And if you have specific skin allergy problems a good allergy specialist can also find out if there are any other products that you could be using that are also causing problems.
What you need to do is to try out a range of low allergenic range of natural cosmetics and natural skin care products and find out how your skin reacts to these. You’ll probably notice an immediate improvement.
And we’re very lucky that there are a couple of small niche skin care and cosmetics companies that make natural skin care products and natural cosmetics that are not only perfect for sensitive skin they are also excellent skin care products and cosmetics, and at very competitive products.
And the reason why the prices are competitive is because these companies don’t spend huge amounts on TV advertising, in fact they don’t advertise at all. So their costs are way lower. And they rely on their products selling themselves because they work so well.
Most of the big brand name skin care products including sensitive skin care products do very little and are made down to a price rather than up to a standard.
So there’s some sensitive skin tips. If they don’t work consult an expert like a good dermatologist, but just doing these things may well clear up your sensitive skin.
And if you want to find the best natural skin care products and cosmetics then visit my website and find out more.

What Is Natural Skincare? Why Is It Different To Regular Skincare?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on July 29, 2011
We all know what skincare products are. They’re products that are supposed to make your wrinkles disappear, and your skin younger.
But what exactly are “natural” skincare products, and what do they do?
Skincare is all about making your skin younger and more wrinkle free, but sometimes it the products don’t work.
But they do aim to improve the look and feel of your skin, that’s why you’re supposed to buy them.
But though big brand skincare products may or may not work they have another more sinister problem. They can contain dangerous ingredients that could damage your skin or your health.
This isn’t just a problem of mainstream skincare lines, it’s also a problem of many cosmetics too. I’ll give you one fast example. It’s only one example, but there’s many more, and there are entire organizations set up to combat this problem.
Lead isn’t good to have in your system, but a recent study found lead in over 50% of lipsticks tested. Big brand names. See the problem?
And it’s not confined to skincare lines and cosmetics, many personal and beauty products are the same.
How can this be? Surely our government protects us from this? No. The FDA isnt required to test the safety of these products, or how well they work. So these companies can use them, usually because they’re cheaper than the natural alternative.
Now that this is becoming more well known there are more people turning to safer more natural alternatives. But what exactly is natural skincare?
There is no definition of what “natural” skincare products are. What they are supposed to be is products that are safer to use, (and hopefully work well too). But some of these products can contain unsafe ingredients too.
Big problem. We now know that the big name skincare products can contain dangerous ingredients, and some natural skincare products can too. So how do we locate products that are safe to use and work well?
There is a process that you can go through to find the best and safest natural skincare line. I walk you through it on my website. The best news though is that there is a natural skincare line that is both safe to use and also works extremely well, better than the big brands.
And the company that makes these products is extremely proud of how good they are, proud enough to offer you a money back guarantee on them.
Something exceptionally rare in the skincare industry.
There’s skincare companies that would go broke doing that, so that says a lot about their products.
I tell you on my website which natural skincare products are safe and effective and money back guaranteed.

Why Is Natural Shea Butter So Good For Your Skin?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on May 30, 2011
There are good reasons to use natural skin care products. The most important reason is that they use ingredients that occur naturally and are safe to use. Some naturally occurring ingredients are not safe to use.
Natural Shea Butter is both naturally occurring and safe to use, and is an extremely effective ingredient in the best skincare products. Lets spend a little time considering what Shea Butter is and why it’s so important to use it on your skin.
It comes from the seed of the fruit of the Shea tree which is found in Africa. The fruit, or nut, is picked and the seed extracted and then the seed is pressed to extract the natural oils, or fats, from it.
The resultant product is shea butter and it is in fact the extracted oils, or fats, of the Shea nut.
So why is Shea Butter so good for your skin? It is a superb moisturizer because the oil is virtually identical to the oil produced by the skin itself in the sebaceous glands. So Shea oil is like using your skin’s own moisturizer.
It helps reduce skin inflammation and it softens the skin and also helps reduce various skin conditions like age spots, or brown spots, scarring and blemishes as well as stretch marks and wrinkles.
It is very effective at reducing wrinkles.
It is absorbed completely by the skin and leaves no residue. And various studies have shown that there are visible improvements to the skin within 4 to 6 weeks.
The best Natural Shea Butter is cold pressed, just like the best olive oil is cold pressed, for the same reasons. It produces the real natural oil, free from any chemical additive that is added to the product during chemical extraction.
And it’s used only in the worlds very best natural skin care line. And if you use this line you get a money back guarantee so that you can even try the products, and see how well Shea Butter really works for your skin, risk free.
So I hope now you know why Natural Shea Butter is so good for your skin.
You can find out on my website which natural skincare products use Shea Butter and also offer a money back guarantee.

Some All Natural Beauty Tips to Keep You Looking Great Inside and Out
Posted by Donald Anthony in Anti Aging on May 28, 2011
The word “natural” is probably one of the most abused words in the beauty industry these days. Many companies will throw it out there, but when you really look at their products, they are still putting out the same chemical based stuff that they have been for years. Believe it or not, there are real all natural beauty tips that will make you look better inside and out.
How many times has someone said, “Her smile won me over?” Well if you don’t have white teeth, the chances are you are hiding that beautiful smile more than you are showing it. Years of neglect as a child and young adult can take its toll, but all is not lost. Using a little bit of baking soda can do wonders to get those teeth back to being pearly whites.
One of the best all natural beauty tips that anyone can get is to take a look at their lifestyle. If they are out until all hours of the night drinking and smoking, they are bound to start losing their appearance. Even supermodels that do this will wake up one day looking as though they had a pretty rough upbringing.
The way to avoid this is by eliminating toxins from your body by drinking plenty of fluids each and every day. Water does wonders on keeping our bodies hydrated and flushed clean. There should also be exercise each and every day along with a balanced meal plan. All three of these together will do wonders for your health both inside and out.
Superfoods or antioxidants are something else that has been talked about quite a bit recently. The benefit that the body gains from these foods is quite incredible. Getting a daily dose of blueberries and other foods in this category will go a long way in keeping your body healthy and happy.
While all of these all natural beauty tips will help, it defeats the purpose if products laced with harmful chemicals are put on your skin. Using home remedies like oatmeal, honey and yogurt will work much better and will cost a lot less money. When makeup is needed, there are plenty of real all natural products to choose from, just check the labels.
When people want to look great inside and out, it is time to get rid of the garbage and to live a better life. Eating right, exercising and living an all around healthier lifestyle will do wonders to preserve that all natural beauty that everyone possesses. Sometimes it just takes a dose of reality to make people understand that.
Finding the right natural beauty treatment for your face and body is essential for proper health and long lasting beauty. Discover the secrets of natural beauty simply by following these beauty tips and secrets. Get rid of those wrinkles and sagging and start to look and feel more beautiful. Find out all the secrets by visiting Natural Beauty Treatment today.

How Do You Buy Natural Skin Care Products?
Posted by Peter Albertonich in skin care on April 27, 2011
So you’ve found out that some skin care products can contain dangerous ingredients so you’re looking to buy natural skin care products instead.
Or maybe you’ve found out that natural skin care products work better than the big brands, so you’ve decided to buy natural skincare products instead.
Whichever reason it is, or maybe both, there are some home truths you need to know before buying natural skin care products.
But sadly, if it’s news to you it’s true, many big brand name skin care products can contain very suspect ingredients that may be bad for your health or your skin. And that’s cosmetics and many personal and beauty products as well.
Here’s a quick example, though there’s many. A recent study of big brand lipsticks found lead in over 50% of them. Scary?
So as a result there are many women who are looking to buy natural skin care products, cosmetics and more to find products that are safe to use.
But is this really a good idea? You see there is no real definition of what “natural” means for skin care products or cosmetics.
And as well the FDA isn’t required to test for any nasty ingredients in these products so it doesn’t. That’s why the problem with unsafe ingredients exists in the first place.
There are so called natural products that have been found containing 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a petrochemical process, suspected as carcinogenic.
So now you know that does that change your mind? It needn’t, there are ways to buy natural skin care products that are safe and effective.
Firstly buy only from a supplier that has signed the Compact For Safe Cosmetics evidencing their commitment to use only safe ingredients.
Secondly you can search individual products at the Cosmetic Safety Database to see if they are considered to have dangerous ingredients.
If you do both of these then you’re started along the path to finding safe products.
So, next problem if you’re looking to buy natural skin care products. How do you know they work well?
Without trying them there really is no way to know for sure. The best way is to try them. And if you try skin care products and they don’t work for you you need to be able to get your money back, or you’ve wasted your money.
You’re in luck. There is one company that has signed the compact, their products don’t contain dangerous ingredients and they have a publicly stated commitment to both products safety and efficacy, both by signing the compact and on their website. And they offer a full money back guarantee.
So if you’ve decided to buy natural skin care products then by all means do so, there are safe and very effective natural and organic skin care products around. But not all are safe, and not all are effective.
So yes there is one company that makes skin care products with only known safe ingredients that work well and are guaranteed. You can find out who it is on my website.

Finding A Natural Skin Moisturizer Isn’t Easy.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on February 28, 2011
Slowly world wide people are turning towards natural products, and the skin care and anti aging industries are no exception. People are turning away from chemical products and so there are many consumers looking for a natural skin moisturizer along with many other natural anti aging products.
There really are natural skin moisturizers, quite a few of them actually, and if you could find them all and use them you could make quite a difference to your skin. But finding them won’t be easy, and you could well find that it’s cheaper to use a natural skin care product that includes these natural skin moisturizers.
Chances are you’ve never heard of them but here’s a list of some natural skin moisturizers.
1. Shea butter. What is shea butter? It comes from the seed of the shea tree, and has many properties that are good for your skin, including natural moisturizing. It is high in vitamins A and E, both good for your skin, and also some essential fatty acids that are extremely good skin moisturizers. These ingredients are virtually identical to the moisturizers produced by your own skin in the sebaceous glands.
And as well as moisturizing shea butter softens skin too, making you look younger.
2. Phytessence Wakame. This is a seaweed from Japan and is eaten by the Japanese. Science has discovered that phytessence wakame is very good for the skin, something Japanese women have known for years. The Japanese have the worlds best skin right into old age.
Phytessence Wakame has very good natural moisturizing properties and also all sorts of other minerals and vitamins that are known to be good for the skin.
3. Sorbitol, found in grapes and berries, plums, pears, seaweed and algea is a fine moisturizer, helping the skin retain moisture and also smoothing the skin.
4. Capuacu oil. Capuacu oil comes from the seed of the capuacu tree and helps moisturize by regulating the effects of lipids on the surface of your skin helping protect skin moisture.
5. Cynergy tk comes from the wool of sheep and has a wide range of ingredients that are good for skin health and also helps protect the skin from moisture loss.
And an essential part of skin moisturizing is conserving skin moisture.
So there you have 5 natural skin moisturizers. And you can use them to make huge improvements to your skin health. That’s provided you happen to have a capuacu tree and a shea tree in your yard, live close to a beach with the right seaweed and happen to have a pet sheep.
But of course that really isn’t practical, for most women it’s far better to buy the best natural skin care products you can get that contain all these ingredients, in one product.
These products are extensively tested and have been shown to have a visible effect on the skin in a relatively short time. They moisturize successfully and improve overall skin health as well. It’s way cheaper than buying a sheep. Feeding a sheep is expensive.
You’ll find out on my website where to source the worlds best skin care products that contain these 5 natural skin moisturizers, and more.

What Exactly Are Organic Skin Care Products? Don’t Know?
Posted by Peter Clark in skin care on January 17, 2011
There are many searching for organic skin care products. But what are organic skin care products?
What is the safest organic moisturizer? What is organic skin care? Where do you find the best organic skin care products?
Every day women worldwide search words like these in their favorite search engine, and there is a growing interest in organic skin care.
But what is it? There is no easy to find out exactly what organic skin care really is, and there is no definition.
What does organic mean? Search the dictionary and youll find something like this:
characteristic of, pertaining to, or derived from living organisms.
So they came from something living.
So that may help, a little.
Perhaps organic skin care products have ingredients that come from farms that are “certified organic”? But what if the ingredients come from farms in other countries? What does “certified organic” mean in other countries?
What about ingredients that don’t come from farms? A certain Japanese seaweed that is used only in the best skin care products comes from the sea? That isn’t certified organic is it?
But surely anything that comes from the sea is clean? No sadly there are many contaminants in the sea in certain places.
So you might be seeing the problem here. If you’re searching for an “organic moisturizer” for example, you really don’t know what it is.
Confusing isn’t it? The same applies to natural skin care products.
So lets think laterally. What is someone who is searching for “organic skin care products’ really looking for?
What she wants is a product that is safe to use and works well. Because sadly consumers are learning that many big name skin care products and cosmetics and much more contain ingredients that may be dangerous to your health and your skin. Like lead, and mercury.
And even skin care products labeled organic or natural can have suspect ingredients too.
It’s true. And that’s why so many women worldwide are now looking for more natural or organic skin care lines and cosmetics. But even this doesn’t guarantee safety.
Knowing what women are searching for is useful.
Instead of finding organic skin care products how do we find products that are safe to use and effective?
The first place to start is with the cosmetic safety database. Here you can search any of the ingredients in any products to see if they have any risk factor to health.
And the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics also has a compact that any company can sign that evidences their intent to use only ingredients known to be safe in their products. And if you look you’ll see that the big name companies haven’t signed.
So if you are considering cosmetics or skin care products from a company that hasn’t signed then don’t buy.
So that’s 2 positive things you can do to find safe products. Search the ingredients, and search the company. I tell you where to do these searches at my website.
But how do you know if they work? It’s quite possible that safe products don’t work well.
I believe that the best way to see if products work is to try them yourself. But if you do that you may waste some money on products that don’t work.
But luckily the company that makes what I consider to be the best skin care products in the world offers a 90 day money back guarantee, so you can try their products risk free.
Their products are world class, and so it’s not a coincidence that they offer you a guarantee or they’d go broke giving everyone’s money back.
There’s a 2 step method of finding skin care products that are both safe, and effective.
And if you want to know more about finding the websites where you can do these searches visit my website, where you can also find out what natural skin care products come with a 90 day money back guarantee.

Cynergy TK. What Is It? Why Is It Great For Skin Care?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in Anti Aging on May 3, 2010
Ever heard of keratin? If you’re interested in serious skin care you should know about keratin, and what a new form of keratin called Cynergy TK can do for your skin. Cynergy TK is the modern way of adding keratin to anti aging and skin care products so that it actually does something useful for your skin.
But isn’t there keratin in the skincare products or anti aging products that you’re using now? Isn’t it good enough to use a product that actually contains keratin and so replace the lost keratin that way?
Yes there is keratin in many skin care and anti-aging products, but Cynergy TK is a form of keratin that is far more useful to your skin than the keratin you’re getting in your skin care products now.
Keratin is an extremely strong protein found right throughout the body, but in particular in your skin, as well as your nails, hair and some other parts of your body. It helps make your skin more elastic and pliable, and to combat wrinkles and sagging in your skin.
As you age your skin loses some keratin, and this contributes to the aging of the skin and the aging signs like wrinkles and fine lines around your face and eyes. Loss of keratin is not the only cause, but certainly one of the biggies.
So why not just use those big brand name skin care products with keratin in them?
I mentioned that keratin is found in nails and hair. It is also found in the horns and hooves of animals and that is where the keratin is sourced for the big brand name anti-aging products. It is extracted using acid and heat, and this changes the form of the keratin by a process known as “hydrolyzation” and means that is no longer useful to the skin.
Cynergy TK on the other hand uses a form of keratin that is totally different. It is extracted from the wool of sheep, and the sheep don’t even need to be killed. It is extracted by a process that doesn’t use heat or acid, so no “hydrolyzation” and the keratin resulting is biologically available to your skin.
The result is what’s called “functional keratin” and the effects on skin are amazing. It is extremely similar to the protein found in human skin.
It’s almost a “liquid skin” and is so effective that it stimulates the skin into regrowing more of it’s own keratin, as well as collagen, another essential skin protein that is lost with skin aging.
And Cynergy Tk also contains a number of other components, all very useful to your skin. These include zinc and copper proteins which assist in increasing the thickness of the skin, and reducing lines and wrinkles. The regrowth of collagen and elastin also assist with reducing wrinkling.
So if you haven’t heard about keratin before, you have now. It’s extremely important to skin health, and skin regeneration. Traditionally extracted keratin isn’t available to your skin due to it’s extraction with heat and acid, but functional keratin found in Cynergy TK is, because of the revolutionary patented process of extracting it.
Will you find Cynergy TK in your big brand name skin care and anti aging products? No. It’s too expensive.
Which company uses Cynergy TK in their skin care products? I’ll bet you’ve never even heard of them, but they make the worlds best skin care products. And believe it or not the products are competitively priced because they don’t spend megabucks on TV advertising.
So head over to my website to find out more about skin care products containing Cynergy TK.

7 Dry Skin Causes And Their Treatments.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on May 3, 2010
If you’ve got dry skin it’s annoying isn’t it? What causes dry skin? What can you do about it? Here’s 8 dry skin causes and their solutions.
There’s many factors that can cause dry skin, and some are much more common than others.
You’d be surprised at how common dry skin conditions are, and how many people are searching for dry skin treatments. Some conditions are easy to treat, some not so easy.
And dry skin can be so irritating. You skin can be dull and flaky, red, swollen and painful. And really really itchy.
Normal skin has an outer layer of oils that are naturally produced by the skin, and help protect our skin. But for various reasons these outer oils can be removed resulting in what is known as dry skin.
So lets have a look at dry skin causes and treatments. Some are easier to treat than others.
1. Long hot baths. Now of course like most women you love that bath as hot as you can stand it and for as long as you have the time. But that bath is stripping away those natural skin oils. A shower is better, not for as long and not as hot.
2. Skin care products and cosmetics. You might find it hard to believe but many big name skin care products and cosmetics have ingredients in them that are not at all good for your skin. If this is news to you spend a little time on google researching dangerous skin care products and cosmetics.
Many ingredients actually dry our skin. An example is mineral oil. Mineral oil is a petrochemical product (ie derived from crude oil) and damages your skin, but is used because it is cheap.
High quality natural skin care products are way better for your skin, won’t damage it and will overcome dry skin conditions more easily.
3. Exposure to the sun. Sunburn can easily strip your skin of natural oils. It also damages your skin in other ways, and you should avoid sunburn at all costs. Anywhere, anytime.43. Central heating/air conditioning.
4. Weather. You can get dry skin in places with cold dry winters. But if it is more humid in summer it may go away. What should you do? Use a high quality natural skin care product formulated to retain skin moisture and renew skin moisture.
5. Soaps and detergents. There are many modern soaps and detergents as well as shampoos which can dry your skin. Many of these also contain ingredients that are bad for you. Avoid soaps with deodorizers, you don’t need them. And the same for anti bacterial soaps. In fact avoid soaps which lather a lot and make you feel squeaky clean, these are often signs of soaps that will dry your skin. Look for natural soaps fragrance and deodorant free and keep trying until you find a soap that works for you.
6. Psoriasis, medical conditions, and drugs. Many medical conditions, like psoriasis and eczema, can cause dry skin, and some drugs can too. For specific medical conditions consult your doctor.
7. And you can also get skin dryness from itchy clothes, so don’t wear clothes that itch
There’s 7 causes of dry skin. But what do you do about it? Well for medical conditions as I’ve said, see a doctor or dermatologist. But often this isn’t necessary.
So remember, use natural soaps and shampoos, and keep trying them until you find one that suits your skin. And remember that any time you’re buying something that goes on your skin look for a natural alternative with no nasty chemicals. Natural alternatives are often cheaper and safer. And keep showers shorter and cooler.
And finally you should consider using high quality natural skin care products. Natural skin care products don’t contain the dangerous ingredients that the big name skin care products contain. Rather they contain natural ingredients that moisturize very successfully, like Babassu oil from the nut of the Babassu tree, and avocado oil.
It may sound counter intuitive but the best natural skin care products on the market are actually very cost competitive to the big brands skin care ranges, not to mention working better and being safer. This is because they are made by a company that doesn’t advertise on TV, so doesn’t need to factor the huge costs of TV advertising into their products.
So there you have 7 dry skin causes, most of which you should be able to treat yourself, using a combination of your new found knowledge about the causes of dry skin, together with a regime of natural skin care products. Those are the best dry skin care tips we can provide.

Explaining And Removing Age Spots.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in Anti Aging on May 3, 2010
Age spots are something that are well known to women, and men, in their later years. They can be harmless, tough annoying, but also unsightly and many women are interested in finding out more about removing age spots.
Age spots can also be known as liver spots or sun spots or, technically, lentigines. They are visible on the surface of the skin because they are discolored, being a brownish or blackish color, or possibly red. They are called liver spots sometimes because it was suspected that they were related to problems with the liver.
Now this link between liver spots and liver disease is discredited.
You shouldn’t confuse age spots with melanoma, or skin cancer, though they can look similar. Age spots are harmless but melanoma certainly isn’t, and if you have dark colored spots on your face or any other part of your body you ought to have them looked at by a doctor.
What causes age spots? There’s a combination of 2 causes, age and sun exposure. As we age the sun damage to our skin accumulates and we start, in some cases, to develop spots on our face, the back of our hands and on the back of the neck, all 4 places being where we get the most sun.
Our skin pigments collect between the dermis and the epidermis and this collection of pigment is the sun spot. As we age our skin is less able to regenerate and repair the skin cells.
So the question is should we be removing age spots? Well the bottom line is that, once you’ve been to the doctor and he is happy, that you don’t need to remove age spots. They don’t do health damage.
But for many it doesn’t matter that they don’t harm your health. We want them removed because they look unsightly. So if you’re worried about age spots on your face, how do you go about getting rid of age spots?
Theres a number of ways to remove age spots. Some laser therapies may remove age spots, though this may be expensive and is not necessary. They can also be removed with cryotherapy, or the use of extreme cold through sources like dry ice. This is a medical procedure and you should consult your doctor about this, as you should if you are considering laser treatment as well.
And there is another option too. There are now some very good natural skin care products that are showing much promise in the removal of age spots. If you are aging the use of good quality skin care products is pretty much essential anyway and the best ones are now getting good results reducing the appearance of age spots.
In particular vitamin E is known to reduce the appearance of age spots because of its anti oxidant and other properties. Vitamin E is of course found in a wide range of skin care products for its many properties that are beneficial to the skin, however in most cases the form of vitamin E that is used is one that is not particularly effective, because a synthetic version is used, which is cheaper than a more effective natural vitamin E.
If so then why is it in all those big name products? Because putting “Vitamin E” on the label sells more products.
But the worlds best natural skin care products use a natural form of vitamin E that is at a much higher concentration.
So there’s the lowdown on age spots. Or liver or sun spots if you prefer. And there’s no need to remove them if you don’t want to, as long as you’ve checked them out with your doctor first. But if you do want to remove them remember there are excellent results being achieved with top quality natural skincare products. It sure beats laser therapy.

Why Is Phytessence Wakame So Good For Your Skin?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on April 20, 2010
You’ve probably never heard of Phytessence Wakame. If you’re interested in the best skin care products that money can buy you really ought to know about Phytessence Wakame though. It’s a stunning breakthrough in skin care science.
It’s a very strange substance. It’s actually a seaweed from the coast of Japan, or to be more specific, a sea algae. It is eaten as a part of the Japanese diet both dried and fresh and has been a part of their diet for hundreds or thousands of years.
And you may also know that Japanese women have some of the worlds best skin right into old age. Eating Phytessence Wakame has a lot to do with it.
So why is Phytessence Wakame so good for the skin? What does it have that makes it perhaps one of the most important modern ingredients for the best skin care products?
Phytessence Wakame is packed with all sorts of wonderful substances that are good for your skin. It is rich in calcium, having 15 times more calcium than milk. It is also rich in minerals and vitamins and in particular the B group vitamins, especially vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. These help to sooth inflammation of the skin.
It is also high in iron and potassium, and all these ingredients together combine to help maintain the skin’s moisture balance, keeping your skin hydrated, which in turn keeps it looking young and healthy.
And there’s more good news. The ingredients of Phytessence Wakame help inhibit the effects of hyaluronidase.
What in the world is hyaluronidase I hear you say? (I have very good hearing.)
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme. It helps break down an acid in our skin called hyaluronic acid, and hyaluronic acid is very important to optimum skin health. It is the effects of hyaluronic acid that combine with the collagen and elastin in our skin to help maintain the smoothness and elasticity of the skin, so keeping it looking young.
So you want plenty of hyaluronic acid. So if hyaluronidase breaks it down you don’t want too much hyaluronidase. And if Phytessence Wakame helps inhibit the effects of hyaluronidase then it is doing a world of good work for your skin. It’s helping inhibit one of the main factors contributing to skin decline with age.
But you won’t find Phytessence Wakame in too many big brand skin care products, (most of them don’t work anyway). But you can find Phytessence Wakame in the worlds best skin care products which aren’t any of the big brand names. And surprisingly at a very competitive price too.
You won’t find it in the big brand name anti aging products because Phytessence Wakame is expensive, and they spend most of their budget on TV advertising. But one small niche skincare company making the worlds best anti aging products does use Phytessence Wakame because they spend big on product quality, not TV advertising.

Are The Best Anti Aging Products Necessarily Safe?
Posted by Peter Geraldson in skin care on March 26, 2010
If you’re a woman starting to experience the signs and symptoms of skin ageing you may have spent quite some time searching for the best anti aging products on the market.
You’ve probably seen all those convincing television advertisements and read the glossy magazine ads and you’re convinced that those anti aging creams just have to work well.
But if that describes you and you’re searching for the best anti aging products you need to ask yourself a preliminary question before deciding if the products work well. You need to ask yourself whether those anti aging skin care products are safe to use.
The reason is that there is a massive range of chemical ingredients that are found in in almost all of the big name skin care products you might even be using right now. Oof those ingredients is named Propylene Glycol and it’s Propylene Glycol that I would like to tell you about today.
You might even have some Propylene Glycol in your cars radiator right now because it’s an essential ingredient in antifreeze. And the EPA tells us that anyone who works with Propylene Glycol needs to don protective gloves as well as goggles in case the Propylene Glycol comes in contact with their skin.
And yet, according to the Cosmetic Safety Database, Propylene Glycol is found in 945 anti aging moisturizers, 1118 facial treatments and 690 general anti aging products as well as a wide range of other personal and bath products as well as cosmetics.
And the Cosmetic Safety Database links Propylene Glycol to cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, allergies and immunotoxicity, irritation to the skin and a whole host of other nasty health repercussions.
Whether the glossy advertising tells you they’re the best anti aging products in the world you should be avoiding it if it has Propylene Glycol as an ingredient, and that applies also to a wide range of other chemical ingredients found in so many skin care products.
The FDA does not have to satisfy itself that any ingredients used in anti aging products are safe for people to apply to their skin. The manufacturers use these chemical ingredients because they are cheap and because they can.
So, you’re a woman who is starting to notice all of those irritating signs of skin ageing such as skin wrinkles and sagging. Do you swear off all anti aging products and just except your fate, and your wrinkles? No you don’t.
The well-known big name skin care lines may be contaminated with chemical ingredients but there is still very small niche anti aging companies seeking to produce the highest quality anti aging products that use safe ingredients.
One company especially makes the highest quality and what I consider to be the best anti aging products on the market. All natural ingredients are used in the products and these ingredients are known to be safe and very effective at skin care. But these all natural ingredients are extremely expensive.
So it would be fair to assume that the anti aging products made by this company must also be very expensive, but in fact they’re not. That’s because this company chooses not to spend lots of money on television or magazine advertising and so does not need to factor advertising and marketing into the price of the products, and this is invariably the major cost of any line of skin care products. Therefore their anti aging products are in fact very price competitive.
The good news is that the best anti aging products are made by a company you’ve probably never heard of. But when you do you’ll be amazed at how good (and how safe) these products are.
If you’d like to find out who makes these excellent (and safe) anti aging skin care products visit my website.

All Natural Skin Care Ingredients. Do They Matter?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on March 20, 2010
The ingredients of natural skin care products don’t matter as long as they work. Is that right? Are natural skin care ingredients irrelevant as long as the products work? Lets have a look at this as I saw that exact comment recently on a skincare website.
I dont care whats in it as long as it works.
So first lets talk about why so many consumers are now turning to natural skincare products. There seem to be 2 reasons.
1. Bit by bit there is a growing realization that there are some fantastic naturally occurring substances that really are very good for your skin.
Theres now no doubt about that. In the past I have talked about Phytessence Wakame for example. This is a seaweed found in Japan that has extraordinary properties that are excellent for skin health, and this is one of the major reasons why Japanese women have such good skin. They eat the important ingredient.
Or perhaps Shea Butter, the oil from the nut of the African Shea tree, one of the best moisturizers around. And theres many many more examples of natural skin care ingredients that are as effective, and in many cases better, than the ingredients used in mainstream big brand skin care products.
2. And more and more consumers are also finding out that there can be dangerous ingredients in big brand skin care products. Often because the more natural alternative is way more expensive than a chemical alternative.
I have also written extensively about the dangerous ingredients that can be found in skin care products and cosmetics, (and some so called natural skin care products too).
So there are what I consider the 2 major reasons why people are turning to more natural alternatives. So it would seem that natural skin care ingredients do matter.
The consumer wants ingredients that are safe to use and work well. This movement towards all natural alternatives is driven by what is in the products. The ingredients are what concern people.
We demand safe and effective products.
Do all natural skin care products contain only safe and effective ingredients? No sadly.
The good news though is that there are some excellent, safe and effective natural skin care products around.
The best are made by a company that is a signatory to the Compact For Safe Cosmetics, and most importantly all the ingredients are listed clearly on their website so you can check what’s in the products.
That is pretty persuasive. Find out who they are on my website.

How Do You Find The Best All Natural Skin Care Products?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on March 13, 2010
Worldwide there is a groundswell of women looking to find more natural skin care products. Millions of women are now searching out the best all natural skin care products, and for good reason.
Gradually consumers are realizing that our skin care products and cosmetics as well as many other personal products can contain harmful ingredients.
A quick example, a recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.
And whilst its good to look better or have better skin or use a nice smelling soap or deodorant or other personal product its not as important as guarding your health. After all, who wants lead in their system?
And big name manufacturers are now recognizing this and trying to get a foothold in the natural products market.
Its no coincidence that L’Oreal has recently bought The Body Shop, a huge seller of all natural personal products.
Back to looking at skin care products. What does “natural” or “all natural” mean for skin care products or cosmetics? No one really knows, there’s no formal definition.
It’s not known what natural formally means, and for this reason there are companies out there marketing “natural” products containing chemicals that most would not consider “natural”.
So if there are still “natural” products out there that we should avoid how do we find the best all natural skin care products?
If you’re looking for a “natural” product it’s pretty sure you’re looking for a product what works well and is SAFE.
So we can, once we know this, use this information to our advantage.
So how do we use this? We find the website for the Cosmetics Safety Database. Here you can search various ingredients used in products and find a rating of their potential health risks.
So you can look at any product and search the ingredients to see if they are considered unsafe to health. You could search “parabens” for example, (a popular chemical preservative) and see what risks parabens pose.
The find the website for the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics. The have a compact that any company can sign. This pledges that company to using only known safe ingredients in their products. And you can search this compact to see which companies have signed it, and which haven’t. You won’t find the big names there.
And if you find a company that has signed the compact you know they have pledged themselves to making safe products.
So you’ve found a natural skincare company that has signed. So their products should be safe. But are they any good? Well as far as I’m concerned the company that offers a money back guarantee should have great products. Most don’t.
One company has both signed the compact and offer a full money back guarantee. And it’s that company that makes the best all natural skin care products.
Head over to my website to find out which company.

Need Some Healthy Skin Tips?
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on March 12, 2010
Here’s 3 healthy skin tips. Because although there are so many women out there looking for great skin care products, what they are in fact looking for is healthy looking skin.
Healthy skin is the skin you really want. It’s younger looking, it looks and feels great. It resists lines and wrinkles and age spots way more than unhealthy skin.
You just feel great about your looks, and yourself, when your skin glows with health.
So many women think of getting great looking skin without making the link between how her skin looks, and how healthy her skin is. You cant have great looking skin that is unhealthy.
As promised, here’s 3 healthy skin tips.
1. You can’t have healthy skin if you’re unhealthy.
It may sound a little trite but if you’re healthy your skin will be more healthy too. If you’re unhealthy this will show in your skin.
You know what you have to do. It all affects your skin.
Good diet is important for skin health. Drinking sufficient water is important for your skin.
And it may sound a little silly but more exercise translates to better skin. Why? Because exercise improves blood circulation and your skin relies on good blood circulation.
2. Avoid 2 of the worst things you can ever do for your skin.
What are they? Smoking and sunburn, both just terrible for good skin. It’s really hard to have great looking skin if it’s regularly sunburned and you smoke.
3. Source the right vitamins for healthy skin and make sure you’re getting them.
There’s plenty of nutrients important for great skin health, and I won’t list them all here. One to mention though is omega 3 oils. You probably know about omega 3 already, but didn’t realize that it’s great for skin health too.
Although it’s difficult to get all the nutrients that are important for healthy skin there is a way to do it.
Use the best all natural skin care products.
So why would you need to be using great all natural skin care products? Because many mainstream skin care products can actually contain ingredients that may damage your skin believe it or not.
Science knows about a wide range of nutrients that are essential to great skin health, and the best natural skin care products contain these nutrients.
And the very best natural skin care products don’t contain any ingredients that may damage your health or your skin.
There’s is no magic formula to having great looking healthy skin. Follow these simple rules and you’ll have great looking skin right into old age, and you’ll feel great and look great.
If you do all the right things for your skin and stay healthy yourself the results will be visible in your skin.

Can You Reverse (And Prevent) Sun Damage To Your Skin Causing Premature Skin Ageing?
Posted by Peter Clark in skin care on March 1, 2010
There’s nothing you can do about aging, and as you age your skin ages with you. One of the worst causes of skin ageing is excessive sun damage from overexposure to UV in the Sun’s rays. Can you help prevent and even reverse skin sun damage?
Too much time spent in the sun is terrible for your skin. Whether you get sunburned or even if you just spend a lot of time in the sun you can age your skin prematurely. Along with another factor, namely smoking, these are the 2 worst things you can do to ensure your skin will show your age earlier.
It is well known that UV rays in sun light can be very damaging to your skin. Of course excessive sun exposure can lead to skin cancer and this can in turn can lead to death, however not so many people are aware that excessive sun exposure also speeds up the effects of ageing on your skin. This is what is known as photo aging.
There’s some simple things you can do to prevent excessive skin sun damage. It’s easy to reduce your exposure to the sun by wearing a long sleeved shirt and a hat and staying out of direct sun during the summer in the middle of the day. But none of these is a complete solution to skin sun damage. For example it’s still entirely possible to get your face burned underneath a hat from reflection off water.
Next comes sunscreens. Whilst sunscreens can be useful many do not provide complete protection from the different range of ultraviolet rays in sun light, particularly UVA, and it is still possible to get serious sun damage to your skin even using sunscreens.
There are natural sunscreens available. Many of these are sourced from plants and will help naturally protect your skin from burning by acting as a natural sunscreen. However these can not only protect your skin from UV rays but, according to recent research, actually help reverse some photo-aging effects.
Lycopene is one of these ingredients. If you read the health literature you may well know about lycopene. It’s an ingredient of tomatoes and the studies are showing that lycopene can have some beneficial effects on your health. For example there is growing evidence that increasing your intake of lycopene can help prevent breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. On top of this there is now evidence that more lycopene can help reverse the effects of photo-aging on your skin and therefore help reverse skin sun damage you may have suffered in earlier years.
And it’s not just lycopene that offers these benefits to your skin. There are other natural ingredients from plants that are also, according to the studies, likely to offer similar benefits. Whilst it is probably inadequate to rely on natural sunscreens to prevent sunburn on their own, there is certainly evidence that they will increase your level of natural protection and also start to reverse the effects of photo-aging.
Gradually modern science is understanding how photo-aging works and why photo-aging is one of the most serious, if not the most serious contributor to premature skin ageing. And modern science is also now able to produce new products that are able to capture the benefits provided by these natural sunscreens.
An example is a new omega 3 supplement recently introduced to the market which includes lycopene as an active ingredient as well as other ingredients to increase your skin’s natural resistance to sunburn and to help reverse the effects of photo-aging. And of course omega 3 essential fatty acids are themselves known to be of a very similar chemical make up to the oil that is naturally produced in your skin and for this reason Omega3 fats are also very good to improved skin health.
If you’re interested in high quality skin care you need to understand the damaging effects of excessive exposure to sunlight, and that there are ways to help prevent this and also to reverse the effects of skin sun damage.
And you also should be aware that new products are slowly becoming available as science finds out more and more about how to keep their skin healthy and looking good using natural ingredients such as lycopene to help prevent skin sun damage.
If you’d like to source omega 3 supplements which now include lycopene as one of the active ingredients then head over to my website.

What In The World Is Functional Keratin In Skin Care?
Posted by Peter Clark in skin care on February 8, 2010
If you’ve spent any time reading about skin health and skin care you’ll start reading about keratin pretty soon. What is it?
You can find keratin in many parts of our bodies. It is a very strong protein that can be found in parts of our bodies like our hair and nails, and our skin.
It is produced in the epidermis of our skin by cells called keratinocytes, and these keratin cells slowly come to the surface of our skin where they form a protective layer of dead skin cells on the surface, and slowly slough off over time.
Keratin has some vital roles in maintaining the function of our skin. It produces some waterproofing qualities, for example. But the main function of keratin in our skin is to promote skin strength and elasticity.
Our skin needs these qualities and as it ages it starts to lose some keratin and so lose some strength and elasticity.
So you would assume that it’s good to use skin care products that contain keratin, but that’s wrong.
The reason is that the process used to produce the keratin found in mainstream skin care products is a process using heat and acid, and this “denaturalizes” the keratin into a form that is of no use to the skin.
So what is functional keratin? This is keratin that is extracted from the wool of sheep without using heat or acid, and so it is not denaturalized. It is functional in the sense that it is still in a form that is available for the skin to use.
It is only recently that this process has been perfected by one small company that makes it and has patented it. It is put into a product called Cynergy TK that is used only in the worlds very best skincare products.
Studies on the results that use of Cynergy TK can produce have been impressive with visible results within a short time, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines and an improvement in the complexion.
Cynergy TK is expensive, and so the big brand name skin care products don’t use it. But it is possible to get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK, and they aren’t more expensive than other skin care products. Why? Because the big brands spend their budget on advertising, whereas the small niche company spends it’s budget on product quality.
The price of big brand skincare products has to reflect the cost of the advertising.
So there’s some background on the role of keratin in the skin. And about what functional keratin is if you were wondering.

4 Tips To Beautiful Skin.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on February 8, 2010
So many women lust after beautiful skin. I’ll bet if you gave 3 wishes to women, particularly older women, somewhere on their list of wishes would be beautiful skin, right into their older age.
Why is beautiful skin so important to women? Because beauty is important to women, and the skin is what shows their beauty off to the world. Great looking clear skin is the basis of looking good.
You can’t look beautiful if your skin looks terrible.
My job today is to give you 4 tips that, as long as you follow them, will lead to beautiful clear skin, into old age. Here’s 4 beautiful skin tips for you.
1. Start early.
So many women don’t get around to taking care of their skin until well into their 40s or even 50s. If you really want to take the best care of your skin you need to start as early as you can, preferably while your skin is still looking great.
Why is it good to start in your 20s when your skin still looks great? Because that’s the time when the deterioration of your skin health starts.
Now of course that’s not to say that if you’re in your 40s, say, its too late. But if you’re in your 20s and you start on a great skin care routine you’re way better placed to achieving great looking skin. Early is better.
2. Stay healthy.
Overall health is one of the most important factors in great skin health. A healthy body makes for a healthy skin.
It my sound entirely obvious that if you stay healthy your skin stays healthy, but it’s something that, despite being obvious, so many women don’t think of. You need to do all the things you already know about staying healthy.
So all those things you read about your diet are important, like reducing salt and sugar intake, and eating lots of fresh vegetables and fruit for lots of anti oxidants. This is good for skin health and overall health. And it leads to a healthier heart which is also good for skin health.
And of course lots of exercise is also important for skin health too.
The bottom line is this. You cant have great looking glowing healthy skin if you’re overweight and live on a diet of pizzas and burgers, never exercise and a walk to the fridge gets you puffing. Take care of yourself and your body will take care of your skin.
3. There’s 2 things that are terrible for your skin. Avoid them.
What are the 2 worst things you can do for your skin? Smoking and sunburn. Both are just terrible for skin health, and you’re unlikely to have great looking beautiful skin if you smoke 40 a day and get burned every weekend. You must avoid these.
4. Use the worlds best skin care products.
Yes you may have read that skin care products don’t really work, and in many cases this is true. Most of the big brand name skin care products found in the stores are overpriced, and do only limited good to your skin. But modern science really does know what makes skin healthy and beautiful, and there are many excellent natural skin care products that contain naturally occurring ingredients that really are known to be highly beneficial to your skin.
Avoid the big name skin care products which use mainly chemical ingredients that are cheap to manufacture and often not good for your skin.
So there’s my 4 beautiful skin tips. Follow these and you’ll have great looking clear skin into your older age.
It’s never too late to start, though early is always better, and even in your 40s and 50s if you do these things and take care of your body, and combine this with the use of the best skin care products you’ll notice the difference at any age.
And along the way you’ll get fitter and healthier and look great. There you have the secret to beautiful skin.

The Best Skin Care Starts With The Golden Rule.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on December 9, 2009
So you’re looking for the best skin care line. And that’s fine, it shows that you’re seriously interested in great skin care, and you’re willing to investigate the best way to keep your skin healthy and looking good.
But if you’re currently asking yourself “what’s the best skin care line” you’re dwelling on the second most important question of skin care. Not the first. You’ve got to remember the golden rule of skin care. Don’t harm your skin.
That’s as important, or more important, than choosing the skin care line. Because if you’re doing damage to your skin then you’re going backwards. By taking some simple steps to protect your skin you’ll do just as much good for your skin as using the best skin care products.
What do I mean by don’t harm your skin? Just this. There’s so many things that women do that harm their skin and they don’t even realize it. Here’s 2 examples. Smoking and sunburn. Both are dreadful for your skin.
There’s a range of ways that smoking can damage your skin, (and your health). Smoking damages your blood circulation and good blood circulation is essential for your skin health, and your overall health.
And sunburn is no better. Sunburn damages your skin every time you get burned, and it has lasting effects.
Here’s another example that may surprise you. Many big brand cosmetics and skin care lines damage your skin too, because they use chemical ingredients like mineral oil. Mineral oil isn’t good for your skin, but it’s in many products because, although it’s a petrochemical product, it’s a cheap way of adding oil. Many cosmetics also damage your skin.
And there’s more than that too. There’s other things to avoid, like many big brand soaps and shampoos, and you ought to also keep baths from being too hot, and showers, and not stay in too long, as long hot baths and showers can dry your skin oils. And the chlorine in your bath or shower water can also damage your skin, you ought to filter all the water that comes into your house, it’s not that expensive to do.
It’s certainly important to find and use the best skin care line and there’s also no doubt that if you’re using the best natural skin care products they work very well, and don’t damage your skin. But although it’s very important to choose and use high quality natural skin care products you cannot ignore the golden rule. If you are doing those things that I’ve cautioned against in this article then you’re doing as much, or more, harm than good. You can’t ignore the golden rule.
Don’t do things that damage your skin. Ignore that rule at your peril. Then get out there and find the best skin care line and use it religiously.

What You Should Look for (and What You Shouldn’t Find) in the Best Moisturizer.
Posted by Peter Albertonach in skin care on November 25, 2009
Can your moisturizer be dangerous? What a silly question. Moisturizers are intended to benefit our skin aren’t they. How could a moisturizer possibly be dangerous?
There are many chemical and petrochemical ingredients found in moisturizers, as well as a wide range of other personal products such as cosmetics, bath and beauty products. Examples include mineral oil, an extremely common petrochemical derivative and sodium lauryl sulphate.
Many of these ingredients are manufactured in laboratories and they are used in personal products and skin care products such as moisturizers because they are particularly cheap. Mineral oil, for example, is cheaper to buy than to dispose of.
There is an organisation called the Environmental Working Group which maintains a database of ingredients used in these sorts of products. This is called the Cosmetic Safety Database and provides information on the massive range of chemical ingredients used in so many of our personal products, including moisturizers.
If you go to the Cosmetic Safety Database and search sodium lauryl sulphate you’ll find that it is listed as being linked to neurotoxicity, organ system toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, cancer, irritation to the skin and plenty more. The same will apply if you search for mineral oil.
These results are backed up by scientific studies. For example a recent study that you can read in the Journal Of Investigative Dermatology was called “Tumorigenic Effect of Some Commonly Used Moisturizing Creams when Applied Topically to UVB-Pretreated High-Risk Mice”. Researchers in this study found that if they applied a moisturizer containing sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil to mice 5 times a day for 17 weeks this “increased significantly the rate of formation of tumors and the rate of increase in tumor size per mouse”.
Interestingly, after the results of the study were established, (which were a surprise because the study was actually to see if caffeine produced skin cancer in mice), the researchers requested that the manufacturer of the moisturizer tested manufacture a further moisturizer without mineral oil or sodium lauryl sulphate in it. This was also tested and the results showed no effect on tumor formation or growth in the mice.
When searching at the Cosmetic Safety Database you can search any of the chemical or petrochemical ingredients that are so commonly found in modern skin care and anti aging moisturizers, and you will see studies such as this one listed in the search results for you to read.
Perhaps it never came to your attention that your moisturizer could be dangerous and that you are risking cancer amongst other things by using so many of the big name brand moisturizers and other skin care products.
So perhaps you should decide that it’s dangerous to use these products and you should swear off anti aging skin care products forever. However this is unnecessary. There are good alternatives.
There are small niche companies which recognize the problem with mainstream chemical laden anti aging skin care products and see this as an opportunity to manufacture safe and effective skin care products containing none of the chemical ingredients that are commonly found in mainstream skin care products such as moisturizers.
Of course it is extremely difficult for a small niche skin care company to compete with massive multinational companies in the skin care market, where billions of dollars are at stake. However these companies, one in particular, manufacture high quality skin care lines that are extremely effective and are comprised only of known safe and natural ingredients such as the oils from fruits and nuts. The big name companies don’t use these ingredients because they are more expensive than the chemical alternatives.
It may take longer to find but if you manage to track down some of these natural skin care products, one range in particular, and try them you will be very pleasantly surprised at the results you get. Firstly you won’t be risking your health because they use only known safe ingredients and secondly you will find that the products are extremely effective. But it can sometimes be difficult to find these products because the small niche companies that manufacture them cannot compete with the big brands on television advertising and so do not advertise on television at all.
So although you may be surprised to hear the bad news that so many modern skin care products such as moisturizers contain dangerous ingredients you will also it pleased to hear the good news that there are natural skin care products available which are highly effective and contain only safe ingredients.
I write a website where I seek to expose these issues to my readers and to demonstrate to them that there are safer, more natural and more effective alternatives available. To find these natural anti aging products that produce the results you want without the risks visit my website.
