It’s important to always touch your face gently – never rub your eyes hard, and apply skin care products on yourself the way you would apply them on a baby. We can sometimes forget that our skin, particularly our face, is delicate. Pulling, tugging, and scrubbing the skin will only wear it out faster. To properly take care of our skin, we need to address all of its layers. Many people use several different products from several different companies all at once.
Skin care lines create their products to work together synergistically. This means that each product builds off another to ensure proper acidity is restored to the skin.Remember the acid mantle that sits on the surface of your skin? It turns out that thin layer of sweat and oil is actually very important to the way your skin feels and looks! When you use products from several different companies, your skin is left out of balance. Oily people tend to have skin that is less acidic, even basic, which is why they’re so prone to blemishes. Their skin isn’t able to properly protect itself from bacteria. Dry skin people tend to have very acidic skin.

Going natural, or looking for natural products and services, is quickly becoming the latest and greatest fad in America. Everyone and everything wants to be natural, organic, and green friendly. This isn’t a bad thing; in fact it’s great that so many people are becoming
more conscious of the world around us. Recycling, reducing emissions, and eliminating chemicals from our daily lives is going to pay off in the long run for everyone.
But there is always a downside to these national fads. Just like big hair bands in the 80s, there are some people jumping on the “all natural” bandwagon that just aren’t cool. Slapping the word “natural” on a box of Fruit Loops isn’t going to make this concoction
of corn, chemicals, and sugar good for you.
This is why going natural is not only confusing, but very frustrating. You might have already shelled out hundreds of dollars on so-called “natural” skin care p roducts, just to find that they still include heavy concentrations of ingredients that could kill you one day. Not exactly heartwarming, is it? And this isn’t an exaggeration.
Skin care products are still being formulated with known carcinogens every day. Here’s a quote from the book “Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What’s at Stake for American Power” by Mark Schapiro that explains this issue the best: “Every morning across America, tens of millions of women apply from twelve to twenty “personal-care” products to themselves, according to the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CFTA). From tubes and bottles and delicate brushes come the tools of beauty, hygiene, and self-preservation known as cosmetics. American women might assume that somebody has been watching to ensure that potential toxins in those ingredients are kept away from intimate
contact with the body’s largest organ, the skin, They would be wrong.
The FDA provides oversight and monitoring of over-the-counter and prescription drugs, as well as food additives, but has minimal authority to regulate the ingredients in cosmetics.
“Women believe that the government which they think is there is actually there,” comments Charlotte Brody, a registered nurse and executive director of Commonweal, and environmental-health organization.
