A Few Good Exercises....
                Will Keep Turkey Neck and Wrinkles Away.

It's true... No, Really!!! I know, it's hard to believe that just time, good products and exercise will help with the old, wrinkled, turkey neck!.

No need to go under the knife, or invest in any crazy gadgets or products. Studies have revealed, with just these few good exercises, you will keep wrinkles in the neck area long away.

Here's what you need to do for all the different neck issues:

      1. Double Chin - Gently pat the skin under your chin w/back of your hand. 
                                 Alternate between left and right hand.
                                 Curve forward or backward with each pat. 

       2. Lipid Formations - Massage your neck w/light pinches at its base
                                         Work toward the chin. 

***You can do this as often as you want and can combine it with a more pleasurable activity like watching a movie or reading a book.

       3. Weak Neck - Put your elbows on the table 
                                Rest chin against the entwined fingers of both hands. 
                                Press your chin downwards and forwards.

       4. The Swan Exercise - Act like a swan 
                                            Extend neck forward & down
                                            To reach a piece of food

       5. Tried & True - Grind your teeth & smile widely 
                                  Tighten & release your lips 
                                  Try saying something without changing your position.

5 Healthy Habits... To Post Pone Aging

It's What Everyone Wants to Know.... 
                                           How to Keep Aging Away. 

It's no secret a healthy lifestyle has a tremendous effect on our health. But a healthy lifestyle also has a claim on beauty. 
The food you consume and your daily exercise habits are an important factor in determining your vigor and youthfulness.

5 Healthy Habits You Can Do... And What Makes Them So:

Diet 
Every day new research shows the positive effects natural foods have on the health and appearance of the skin.
This is why you should strive to consume lean meats as well as good fats and natural carbohydrates, removing all refined sugars from your diet. 
Sugars contained in sweets often destroy the metabolism, especially when a person is undergoing a stressful period. 
A better alternative are the whole wheat products, fruits and foods rich in vitamins. Whole wheat products contain vitamins B5 and B6, which are required for the proper work of the nerve cells. Bananas, walnuts and green-leafed vegetables contain magnesium, which is an important mediator in spreading the nervous impulses.
Statistically most people lack diversity in their diet.
  • Substitute whole wheat flour for white flour, fruit for sweets, and chicken for red meats.
  • Try to add fish to your menu at least three times a week.
  • Replace all unhealthy fats for healthier products.
  • Gradually reduce the amount of sugar in your coffee until you get used to its new black taste.
  • Drink more tea.
  • Add soy products to your daily menu.
  • When drinking alcohol, ask for wine and drink moderately.
  • Use natural cosmetics.
Hormones
A balanced level of hormones keeps you healthy and slows the aging process. Keeping your hormonal balance should be easy with the right diet using natural foods containing phytohormones.
When the natural level of hormones begins to decrease with age, phytohormones kick in and act as their replacements. This helps in overcoming the hormonal deficiencies of age.

Somatotropin
This is the most powerful anti-aging hormone and it is secreted mostly during the deep phases of sleep. This is where the popular notion of beauty sleep comes from. It is a known fact that the sleep before midnight is most beneficial.
With the advancement of age this hormone is secreted less and less. The results are discomfort, rounding of the belly, dry and thinning skin which is easily wrinkled and prematurely aged.
You can help your body during this period by consuming a mixture of propolis and pollen extracts.

Estrogen
The female hormone estrogen truly beautifies. It keeps the skin youthful, tight and elastic and also maintains a tight bust. With the approach of menopause, the levels of estrogen in the female organism suddenly decrease, leading to the typical complaints of that age – warm waves, moodiness, dry skin, etc. The regular consumption of red clover and soy products can alleviate these complaints significantly. Asian women who vastly include soy in their menu rarely have such problems.

Movement
Regular movement is one of the requirements for maintaining youthfulness, because sports and physical activities are a natural way of bringing harmony in the body. The level of hormones triples after 20 minutes of moderate movement. 
The increase in oxygen better supplies the cells with nutrients. Microcirculation of the skin also improves, making your complexion brighter and healthier.
Brisk walking is the best way to exercise. It is easy on the joints, while it pumps oxygen into the lungs and heart.

What's More Important... Skin Smoothness or Skin Tone???

Because Let's Face It... 
               A Woman's Beauty is Truly in the Skin

In Fact, the key factor in determining beauty, according to some scientists, is the smoothness of the female skin. 

But German scientists say, skin tone is more important than facial symmetry, which until recently was considered the prevalent factor. 

Good news for you.... naturalorganicbody has a variety products for all skin types to enhance both of these features in women's skin. 

For really aged looking skin 100% Pure Organic Vitamin A & Coenzyme Q10 Wrinkle Smoothing Night Cream uses a high concentration of Vitamin A (retinyl), Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Coenzyme Q10  to dramatically lessen the appearance of aging. 

Really dry, dull skin benefits from Aubrey Organics Revitalizing Therapy Toner w/Organic Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil. It has beet root extract, a powerful humectant, that forms a film on the skin’s surface to lock moisture in for up to 8 hours.

Scientists even researched the relative significance of factors such as symmetry and skin tone, which were considered inseparable. 

They photographed 170 female faces ranging from 10 to 70 years of age, mounted them in a computer module, and asked 430 participants to arrange them in order of attractiveness. 

The results were definitive – the only factor is the quality of the skin.
 

As a result, people will often turn their eyes away from a person with rough, porous skin. 
Scientists have dubbed that activity, skin tonus. 

They say,  we have developed a strong perception for skin tonus because it is an indicator of health and reproductive abilities. 

In fact, skin tonus, especially in females, can tell a lot of the person’s reproductive potential.

People notice these things because in the past they have been essential for successful mating. 

And they claim, skin tone is enough to explain the success of older actresses such as 43-year-old Hale Berry and 40-year-old Kate Blanchet.

Want Lushes Lashes???... We Have Some Secrets

Everyone Wants Them....
    But No One Knows How to Get Long... Lushes... Lashes!!!

Here's a list of some industry secrets and tips...
 
1. Length - To lengthen the eyebrows use single strokes without accumulating lot of mascara. Using 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara can also help add length to lashes

2. Natural - For a natural but maintained look use a small brush to remove the extra mascara. But don't forget to keep the volume with Benecos Maximum Volume Mascara


3. Curl - If you do not want to use lash curlers then apply mascara:
      1. First to the upper side of the upper lashes
      2. Then to the lower side as usual.

NaturalOrganicBody suggests choosing the right color to wear could be both a fashion statement and a fashion misstep. So, we've got some tips for colors selections.

Colors to Try:
Black Mascara is classic, especially for brunettes & evening wear. 
Brown Mascara is perfect for lighter hair women during the day.
***For women with lighter hair & eyebrows Black Mascara should be reserved only for evening makeup. 
Blue and Green Mascara are not among the most flattering colors. But can be used as show pieces.
***Just keep in mind that the color of mascara should not be the same as the color of your eyes.

Little Trade Secrets:
1. Eye lashes can be lengthened if you brush them beginning at the tips and then zigzagging your way toward the roots. It sounds complicated, but it’s pretty easy.
2. When lashes are very long they can stain the lids with horrible little black dots. Use q-tips to wipe them off.
3. Do not cover the lower lashes with mascara, because this underlines the dark shadows beneath the eyes.
4. And last, but most important – no matter how expertly you have applied your mascara, you have to remove it every night with the appropriate product. NaturalOrganicBody recommends you do so, to avoid treating eyes for possible inflammation.

Over The Counter Cosmetic... Secret Harmful Ingredients

What you don't know about the Drug Store Cosmetics....
                    That can actually hurt your skin!!!

It turns out that sometimes cosmetics may contain harmful or hazardous substances. 
The worst part is that not all of them are listed on the label, which includes only the basic ingredients.

Here are some hidden secrets... with natural alternatives.

Alcohol is not right for everyone
Lotions containing alcohol can safely be recommended to anyone with oily skin prone to inflammation. Alcohol has drying and disinfecting properties(amount should never exceed 15-17%.)  Consider DNA SuperNatural Vitamin A Serum the natural Vitamin A (Retin-A) won't cause redness, peeling or sensitivity and the serum will not cause oil build up. 
If your skin is dry, you should avoid using alcohol-containing cosmetics. Otherwise your skin will start flaking and will feel tight and stretched on your face. Try Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Ultra Hydrating Moisturizer it uses Vitamins A,C, E & Organic Jojoba Oils to keep your skin on track.
And Forget about alcohol lotions in the winter when the skin is subject to so many unpleasant influences – cold weather, sudden changes in temperature, dry air, etc.
Paraffin aids the formation of blackheads
Paraffin is often an ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics. You won't find Paraffin in any of NaturalOrganicBody.com Age Corrective products. However, it is not recommended for problem skin – oily or mixed type. It creates a thin coat over the skin which prevents the disposal of toxins through the pores and hinders the access of oxygen. As a result, the skin loses its smoothness and elasticity.
Paraffin, however is irreplaceable when it comes to softening the hands. It has a warming effect and speeds metabolism.

Mineral oils clog the pores
This is why they can cause inflammations and allergic reactions. The film that they create over the epidermis protects it from dehydration but it also prevents additional moisturizing. Besides, mineral substances are harder to absorb and hinder the cellular exchange processes. Let’s not forget that paraffin and mineral oils are derivatives of petrol! No worries... the cosmetic products featured on NaturalOrganicBody.com don't have any mineral oils in them. In fact, only vegetable oils and essential organic oils.

Glycerin dehydrates
In days past glycerin was considered an excellent moisturizer. It is now known that in large amounts it can be harmful, especially to dry skin, because it draws moisture from the deeper layers of the skin. If you have a need for moisturizing, Opt for a Collagen Restorative Moisturizer w/Rejuvinating Anti Wrinkle properties and no signs of Glycerin. Forget about glycerin soap which was so popular at one time. Using body gel or liquid soap from our NaturalOrganicBody.com Body Products is way pleasanter and better for the skin.

Ask Yourself About Age.. Sun Exposure.. Pollutants??

If your skincare regimen does NOT include an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle product, you are not thoroughly addressing the specific needs of your skin. Age, combined with factors such as environmental pollutants and sun exposure, cause fine lines to develop and deepen.
  • So, how can you reduce wrinkles and reverse the effects of aging? 
  • Which anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products actually deliver the results they claim? 
To properly address your skincare needs, www.naturalorganicbody.com offers these unique tips and products created to meet the needs of your individual skin type.

Everyone’s skin texture and type is different; dry, oily, combination, acne, or sensitive. Believe it or not, the eye are is the first place that most people notice wrinkles. That's because the skin around the eye is much thinner and more sensitive than other areas of the face. It does not produce oil or moisture on its own and therefore needs extra care and attention.

100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream is made with a specially formulated botanical blend designed to reduce sagging, puffiness, dark circles and increase circulation around your eyes. It concentrated with potent anti-aging vitamins, antioxidants and nourishing black current oil. This unique eye cream is lightweight and won’t leave your skin feeling greasy.

Another source of confusion for many people is the difference between a nighttime and daytime skincare routine. During the day, your skin needs a moisturizer that offers protection from the sun’s harmful rays. At night, your skin is thirsting for a deeper level of hydration.
100% Pure Argan Oil Hydration Facial Moisturizer has an SPF of 30 to block both UVA and UVB rays. Infused with nutrients such as Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Green Tea and Herbal Extracts to soften lines and nourish skin.
Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta Night Cream W/ Alpha Lipoic Acid is the perfect solution for nighttime skin re-hydration without causing a heavy, oily feeling.

Other common skin care concerns include acne, redness, sunspots, and scars. Consider Aubrey Organics Vegecell Nighttime Hydrator w/Green Tea Cream to rejuvenate your skin while you sleep.
Organic green tea soothes and protects skin from free radical damage, while herbal humectants restore its natural moisture balance without clogging your pores. DNA Super Natural Vitamin A Serum  A completely natural Vitamin A (Retin-A) that won't cause redness, peeling or sensitivity.
Accelerates cell renewal and helps diminish fine lines, improves tone, texture and balances skin pigmentation without over-drying the skin. Combine these two products to achieve maximum radiance.

Tone Your Skin for Summer


Summer Sun is Out.... 
                So How Do You Help Your Skin Tone Up?

In addition to toning your body for swim suit season... it's a good idea to tone your skin this summer too!

Lotions and toners are a great solution to keep up with the heat, sun and other conditions summer throws our skin. Some lotions like 100% Pure Organic Pomegranate Antioxidant Hydration SPF20 and toners like 100% Pure Organic Rose Hydrosol - Facial Mist actually are formulated to help combat these very environmental agers. 

And this entire process of applying lotions and toners also provide the skin a workout. They do this by removing debris and lipids then delivering moisture as
Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Ultra Hydrating Moisturizer, nutrients and antioxidants deep into skin tissues with Lumessence Lift Face Cream Firming & Protective

Many formulas actually have moisture-bonding properties to fight trans-epidermal water loss like 100% Pure Organic Aqua Boost . This heavy water revitalizes, freshens and gives skin a “drink of water” providing skin with the much-needed moisture content lost daily.

Maximize the Results
At home, these can be used to refresh the skin throughout the day (during the summer they may be chilled in the refrigerator). They specifically can also maintain pH balance and hydration as DNA Floral Bliss Tonic Spray is formulated to do. As well as support a skin-rejuvenating program, and provide antioxidant support with the help of DNA Phyto-Collagen Moisturizer.

Types of Formulas
There’s a lotion and toner for nearly any skin type and geared towards any skin-health goal, and should be matched based on skin needs. Just like  Men's Stock North Woods After Shave Balm is perfectly matched for a man's after shave concerns. 

Also, lotions and toners also make perfect travel companions, because they help regulate and maintain a balanced skin tone and provide all-day nourishment.

Sun Relief.. What's Best & Why Broadband Now??

New Rules on Sunscreen.... 
             The Food and Drug Administration.

Apparently, claims like:
  • moisturizing your skin
  • to protecting against 37 different spectrums of light
  • being waterproof
  • sweat proof
  • bulletproof, and so on.
Will not be enough!
Now all Sunscreens must offer "BroadBand Protection" , if that's what they claim! Sunscreens must equally protect against two kinds of the sun’s radiation: 
UVB (the kind that causes sunburns) and UVA (the kind that causes wrinkles).

No more Waterproof claims... because that's simply not true. You can’t actually have sunscreen that is water or sweat proof, it’s impossible. What the FDA will allow companies to do is make claims on how many minutes the product will remain water resistant based on clinical tests.

No claims that a product will prevent sunburn or reduce risks of skin cancer and early skin aging unless it has an SPF rating of at least 15.

Now... Is Your Sunscreen Safe?
40 to 60 percent of all sunscreens on the market today are made with a laundry list of chemicals.  The most common chemical ingredients in non-mineral sunscreens include octinoxate, oxybenzone (a form of benzophenone), octisalate, and avobenzone.
In addition to increased cancer rates, these unstable chemicals have also been linked to hormone imbalance, dysfunctions in sexual development and function, as well as birth defects because of their estrogen-like effects.

Scientists have also been researching the ability of these chemicals to permeate the skin and enter the bloodstream, causing a slew of other damaging effects. Each of these chemicals – oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone – work as penetration enhancers, meaning they are easily absorbed by the skin, and the longer they sit on the skin, the more threat they pose.

The Solution....

Remember to always opt for an SPF30 and avoid chemical-based formulas. Instead seek out formulas with a natural zinc barrier like Aubrey Organics Natural Sun SPF 30+ Active Lifestyles Tropical Scent. 

NaturalOrganicBody provides formulas which are mineral-based and use zinc,  a natural reflective shield, blocking the sun’s damaging rays without injecting the body with harmful chemicals.

Here are a few ideas for achieving a desired texture, color or outcome. For instance, to eliminate dryness or create a creamier feel, 100% Pure Argon Oil Hydrating Facial Moisturizer SPF30 will leave you feeling smooth and protected. If you are looking for a tinted formula with SPF try 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer 

There’s no question – UV protection is absolutely essential.. especially when most people don’t use enough sunscreen, the American Academy of Dermatology claims that we use about one fourth of the amount of sunscreen we should use and we don’t re-apply as often as we should either.
So, remember to slather up before you hit the sun this summer!

Beauty Habits You'd Love to Kick

Habits Too Hard to Quit...

                     But Here's Why You Should!!!

We know they are bad for us... but we do them anyway!

1. Going to Sleep with your Makeup On
           
               Reason To Change:
Pores on our skin create sebum which is a natural lubricant that protects, moisturizes and cleans our skin according to naturalorganicbody.  Leaving makeup on overnight clogs the pores and traps the sebum on the skin. Sebum and dead cell build up leads to acne. 
Also removing eye makeup is extremely important to avoid eye infections or irritation to contact wearers.  Lavera Trend Organic Gentle Make-Up Remover is perfect for those with sensitive skin around the eyes because it uses Glycerin, Organic Alcohol to dissolve makeup and Organic Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract to purify and refresh the skin.

2. Not Cleaning Makeup Brush Often
          
                Reason To Change: 
Makeup brushes get oil, sebum, and product buildup on them. This is especially true when you use them with liquid or cream products and it can cause bacteria to grow. When you use brushes with product buildup and bacteria on them it can lead to acne, irritation and even infection. According to naturalorganicbody, use a favorite brush cleanser or a baby shampoo once a week. So sensitive is Aubrey Organics Baby & Kids Shampoo which has a Coco Glucoside Mild Natural Soap Derived from Coconuts and Soy Protein to strengthen hair fiber.

3. Excessive or Abrasive Exfoliation

            Reason To Change:
It's a necessary step in anyone's beauty process, but you have to exfoliate gently and not too often. Excessive exfoliation can cause your skin to become hyper-sensitive and vulnerable to the sun, as naturalorganicbody advises.  Very abrasive exfoliating products  can tear your skin or break capillaries under the skin, making it more vulnerable. Natural Fruit Acids found in Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Exfoliating Face Wash Gently Exfoliate the skin while Green Tea luminize it.


4. Picking At Skin
    
    Reason To Change:
Pimples are just clogged pores but picking at Pimples & Blackheads can make them worse.  There is a huge chance of scarring, large pores, and skin discoloration. When you pop them it spreads the bacteria over and under the skin, usually creating a bigger irritation. The pressure of picking at your face can also stimulate your sebaceous glands which will cause your skin to make more sebum and create more potential acne. Naturalorganicbody recommends using a spot treatment of 100% Pure Purity Facial Cleanser + Cleanser overnight.The Essential Oils Kill Acne Causing Bacteria while Seaweeds & Herbs Protect Against Future Breakouts. For blackheads try a deep pore cleansing from DNA Phyto-Lipid Hydrating Scrub uses natural jojoba beads to exfoliate without harming healthy cells for an invigorating skin treatment.


5. Using Expired Makeup

     Reason To Change: 
When you use old or expired makeup you are potentially leaving yourself open to infections. Bacteria grows in them after each use and after awhile it just isn't safe to use anymore on your skin.This is especially true with liquid or cream products like mascara, foundation and lip products. According to naturalorganicbody most of these should be thrown away and used within 6 months. In fact, all the natural/organic products have the use after time stamp. Put different color stickers on the bottom of your products so you know what month you purchased or opened them. Powdered products can last longer but it is recommended to toss them after 2 years. Anytime you have an item that smells or looks odd, toss it. Better to be safe.

Sunscreen Doesn't Shield You From Everything!!!

The Best Defense...                                         Against Suns UV Rays...                         AND Free Radicals 

Sunscreen protects skin from the suns burning, age-accelerating, cancer-causing ultraviolet rays. But it doesn't necessarily shield you from free radicals, those unstable molecules that can damage your complexion, much as oxygen turns a peeled apple brown. Free radicals are a byproduct of exposure to UV light and other environmental factors like pollution; they break down the skins fibrous support structures collagen and elastin which triggers premature aging and even skin cancer.

So sunscreen is vital but its not enough. Even when applied properly, sunscreen blocks only half the free radicals in the skin generated from the sun, and it offers little protection against other environmental assailants, according to the experts. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, boosting the body's own defenses. You may already be taking antioxidant supplements to stay healthy; to get the benefits to your skin, use them topically as well. Topical antioxidants, particularly serums, seep into the skin and can't be rubbed off like a sunscreen can. Apply antioxidant-rich products to exposed areas of the skin before sunscreen or moisturizer.

Nothing can turn back time, but these antioxidants can help you take control of your skins future.

The healing powers of vitamin C are actually maximized when its combined with vitamin E.

Found naturally in every plant and animal cell, coenzyme Q10 is essential to the process of shedding dead cells so newer ones can emerge. As we age, our essential level of coenzyme Q10 diminishes, lowering our ability to fight off free-radical scavengers.

Made from the dried leaves and tips of the Camellia sinensis plant, these teas possess powerful polyphenols that protect cells from external damage and help slow inflammation triggered by sun exposure.

Can Age Really Be.... Just A Number??!!!

       Fine Lines, Discoloration & Sagging Skin....                                              Settle in Sooner or Later....



Many people associate age with wrinkles.... but it's a lack of collagen and elasticity that causes a droopy jaw line or folds around the mouth that can make you look older even without any wrinkles.

Older skin becomes more like dough: It doesn’t bounce back into place as readily, and gravity takes its toll, causing drooping jowls, saggy cheeks and a hollow look under the eyes. 

But don’t fear surgery isn't your only option. So before you start thinking scalpel, explore these short- and long-term solutions.

When collagen breaks down, it naturally forms amino acid linked peptides, which let the body know it should produce more collagen. This hot Anti-Aging external application of peptides tricks the body into making more.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: Spa True Natural Eye Bright Peptide Serum ($44.85; naturalorganicbody.com).

Curling lashes and/or using a luxe mascara open up the eyes for a more youthful appearance. Replace eyelash curler sponges every six months, so you don’t damage or pull out existing lashes.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: Benecos Volume Boosting Mascara ($10.72; naturalorganicbody.com).

Caffeine is known to constrict the blood vessels, which reduces puffiness. It’s often applied with roller ball applicators that can help promote the movement of excess fluid through a massaging mechanism. For rollerless creams, apply with your ring finger in gentle circular motions.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Rich Eye Cream  ($17.10; naturalorganicbody.com).

Well known for its importance in bone health, vitamin D is garnering attention for its potential skin benefits. Topical vitamin D is often used as a treatment for psoriasis & it has also been shown to normalize the maturation of skin cells, which corrects hyperpigmentation. Try a gift set size to monitor your own results.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: 100% Pure Brightening Skin Care Gift Set  ($31.50; naturalorganicbody.com).

Cleanse with Phytonutrients
Rich in cell-wall building blocks called they are thought to aid skin elasticity as well as improve texture. Also rich in probiotics to help balance the skin’s ph levels and reduces inflammation when applied externally. Great to remove pollutants, oil and makeup.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: DNA Creme Of Nectar Soothing Wash ($25.50; naturalorganicbody.com.

Bond with Blush
Many women apply blush too high on their cheeks. You don’t want color on the boniest part of your cheeks. Instead, blush should be applied on the apples of your cheeks, leaving one fingertip-width between the color and your nose. Note: a cream blush will impart a more dewy, youthful glow to the face.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Lip & Cheek Tint  ($13.50; naturalorganicbody.com).

Cosmetic primer helps minimize pores, which get larger with age, and keeps foundation in place. Look for a hydrating one that prevents makeup from drying out and settling in fine lines. Light reflective pigments diffuse the look of lines and wrinkles and make skin instantly luminous, brighter, healthier and glowing.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: Luminous Primer Vitamins + Antioxidants with Resveratrol ($23.40; naturalorganicbody.com), with blue algae extracts to fight redness.
 
Slather on Sunscreen
The sun’s UVA rays destroy collagen, so your daily sunscreen should offer broad-spectrum protection. if you have any redness in your skin, look for a sunscreen with the mineral zinc oxide, which deflects heat as well as rays and is like having millions of crushed mirrors on your face that reflect the light.
NaturalOrganicBody Likes: Aubrey Organics Natural Sun SPF30 w/Green Tea  ($7.98; naturalorganicbody.com).

Gluten Free.... What It Means In Your Products??



Gluten comes from wheat, rye, malt, oats, and barley. These ingredients are often used in cosmetic products as binders or emollients, helping ingredients mix together. Like some products like 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara, which contain oat & wheat proteins.
Much of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies, so in addition to being careful about the foods they consume, people with gluten sensitivities also have to be aware of the cosmetics they use. 
This includes topically applied lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. Gluten sensitivities cause inflammation throughout the body, with a wide range of types of reactions including gastro-intestinal problems, depression, eczema, headaches, and exhaustion.

NaturalOrganicBody.com gluten-free products are labeled as such so those with gluten sensitivities can be sure they are safe to use.

How Important is What/When You Do.... to Your Skin???

A Day & Night Skin Routine... 

During the Day
Need a hot shower to start the day? That's a good start, because the steam of a morning shower will open your pores and allow your cleanser to work better. 

Don’t use the same soap you do at night though. Your skin isn't as ‘dirty’ in the morning as it is at the end of the day. So, if you use the same routine in the morning, you run the risk of stripping essential oils from your skin. Choose a gentle clarifying cleanser like Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Creamy Face Cleanser for your a.m. washes—if your skin feels uncomfortable and tight afterward, your cleanser is still too strong.

Dark under-eye circles can make you look tired. Deal with them by applying an eye gel or cream containing caffeine 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean - Caffeine Eye Cream. Blood in the capillaries can pool under the eyes and cause the shadowy look, but products with caffeine can make a huge difference in the microcirculation around the eye. Also use your ring finger to apply, as it will exert the least amount of pressure and pulling on the sensitive eye area.

Because skin takes much more of a beating during the day than at night, take steps to protect it from the elements. Use a sunscreen Kiss My Face Face Factor w/SPF 30 for Face & Neck with broad-spectrum protection (to block both UVA and UVB rays) before you apply moisturizer, or look for an SPF/moisturizer combo 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer. It contains hefty antioxidants like vitamins C and E for extra fortification to fight against the barrage of free radicals you’ll face throughout the day.


During the Night 
Any evening routine must first undo the damage done throughout the day. Remove makeup first with an oil based product Aubrey Organics Herbessence Makeup Remover, then Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Creamy Face Wash gets rid of remaining dirt and grime with a heavy-duty cleanser DNA Creme of Nectar Soothing Wash. Slough off dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliant like DNA Phyto-Lipid Hydrating Scrub. Exfoliants remove the top layer of skin so reparative night products can penetrate the skin more effectively. 

When choosing a nighttime moisturizer Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosquetta Night Creme W/Alpha Lipoic Acid, look for heavier creams and oils with anti-inflammatory, soothing ingredients like white tea and chamomile.

After focusing on your face, don’t forget the rest of your body. Spend a couple of extra dollars to exfoliate your entire body with a loofah to increase circulation and glow. Then apply a therapeutic hair and scalp oil before bed Aubrey Organics White Camellia Oil Soothing Emollient. Oil left in the hair or scalp for 6 to 8 hours can do stressed scalps and hair a world of good. Patients will notice softer hair and healthier scalps after shampooing oils out of their hair in the morning. 

Finally, get a good night’s sleep! The more you sleep, the more time your body has to work on creating new skin cells, so all the treatments and ingredients you feed your body can work effectively.

Why Serums Are Worth Every Penny!!



It's a beauty misconception that serums are just a more expensive form of skin moisturizer. Yes, the price is more per ounce than your average skin care product, but that's because you're getting more concentrated ingredients (and deeper-penetrating effects). 

Why use it? A serum is your go-to product to improve the overall look of your complexion. The active ingredient can bring antioxidants to the skin, restore cell growth, or help decrease pore size. But the one thing a serum doesn't do, typically, is moisturize the skin.

How does it work? Serums have a lipid-soluble base that allows the active ingredient to actually penetrate into the epidermis, according to NaturalOrganicBody.com. Whereas moisturizers have a base, allowing them to stay on the surface. That's where they moisturize the outer portion of the skin.

Which one is right for you? NaturalOrganicBody.com suggests several...If you have acne-prone skin, the two most significant ingredients would be an L-ascorbic acid [which is true vitamin C] and retinol like DNA SuperNatural Vitamin A Serum. They're both antioxidants that improve the cell growth in the outer layer of skin. If you have normal skin, look for vitamin E, phenols, carotenes, squalene, and essential fatty acids to deeply moisturize, nourish, soften and repair like 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil. 
For anti-aging support, look for ingredients in True Natural Spa Advanced Lift & Firm like Polysaccharide blend to lift & firm skin, Bio-hyaluronic acid to reduce appearance of fine lines, Ferulic acid & pomegranate to give antioxidant protection.
 
How do you apply it? Use about a pea-sized amount of serum for the face and neck, applying the product about two minutes after your cleanser (not on wet skin). Hydrated cells allow the active ingredient to penetrate better than dried cells. Then, wait another three to five minutes before applying your moisturizer. Moisturizers help restore the keratin protein back to the skin, so they generally have a higher pH. If you put on your serum then immediately put on your moisturizer, it can somewhat decrease the effectiveness of your serum.
Also, it's important to use face serums primarily at night, because UV rays and oxygen can cause them to oxidize — another reason to make sure you always keep a tight lid on your products.
