Reverse Sun Damage.. It Is Possible!!!

We've all been told or have heard.... "protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays. It's for your own good...really!" You may have also heard, "If you don't, you're putting yourself at risk for skin cancer, which can be deadly." What's more, you're subjecting yourself to premature skin aging. Which means; wrinkles, sun spots, dry, dull skin. 

Be that as it may, we've all walked out of the house with out applying any protection what so ever, before hitting the beach, or going to outdoor sporting events.  Instead of beating yourself up now, tackle your sun damage issues in one of these many ways. 

Let it be said again... prevent damage with a SPF sunscreen of at least 30, and one that's water-resistant and blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Apply it every day, no matter how cloudy, and never, ever neglect the skin on your face. Plus, if you opt for one of the following treatments, SPF is essential to maintain your results. 

Lighter and brighter skin can be achieved without the use of potentially harmful lightening ingredients. Take the natural approach and consult with your beauty expert to find the best take home products that will lighten and brighten skin. There are several lines of skin care products that can significantly reduce hyper-pigmented areas. DNA Health Institute products use 100% natural plant phenols and phytonutrients whose main objective is to suppress melanin production. These MediClear Skin Lightening Serums and MediClear Skin Lightening Washes gradually and effectively lighten heavily pigmented areas in mature and photo damaged skin. Use them with MediClear Vitamin C Crystals. This powerful accelerator boosts results and contributes anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits. When combined with one of the MediClear lines medical strength clarifiers or DNA's anti-aging  treatments Medi-C will promote a polished, even skin tone, increase collagen production and, as reported by the FDA, help rebuild healthy skin tissue.     

Ask your dermatologist about a prescription of hydroquinone, the go-to treatment for dark spots caused by the sun thanks to its ability to block the enzyme that activates melanin production. Use it with vitamin C and retinoids (your derm can direct you) for a well-rounded skin-care regime. 

For particularly stubborn spots, consider chemical peels or non-ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin and improve discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. 

And finally, very dark spots can be ablated with another intensity of lasers that break up discoloration deep in the skin. The treated spot will take a week or so to fully heal and you'll see final results in a few months. 

Never Too Late... Start Prepping Our Skin for Bikini Season

Just because we're still bundled under layers of sweaters, hiding our skin doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take care of it.  It's true, the cold air we've endured and are still getting hit with this spring has  wreaked havoc on our skin. Frankly, it has left our skin dry, dull and in some cases sensitive. It's no secret that this dry skin leads to flaky and itchy skin. And wearing those thick wool sweaters isn't helping one bit!

So, before we can even start frolicking in our bikinis under the summer sun and focus on every bump and flaw on our skin. NaturalOganicBody's experts have put together the tips for you to get the softest skin – ever!! So, when you do have to show your skin you’ll be silky soft to the touch. Daily lotions are great, but may not give you the luxurious butter feeling you crave. And body butters won’t do much if you haven’t exfoliated dead cells away.

Follow these tips for the softest skin, ever:

1. First things first: avoid ingrown hairs and red bumps by changing your razor frequently. A month-old razor will harbor bacteria and be more dull than a new one, causing irritation when you shave. You should change your razor after every few uses. Also think about dipping your blade into some alcohol if you feel you are going through too many razor blades in a month. This helps clean out the bacteria and dead skin left behind, that may be causing your irritation.

2. Get rid of dead skin cells by exfoliating. Use an exfoliating scrub like Lavera Organic Body Scrub Organic Orange and Sea Buckthorn, which deep cleans, prevents ingrown hairs, and tones for smooth skin.

3. Be aware, Exfoliating too much can lead to irritated skin so switch out with a moisturizing body wash like 100% Pure Hydrating Body Wash French Lavender, which cleanses, brightens and hydrates.

4. Lock in moisture with a body butter. As soon as you step out of the shower, massage an indulgent body butter like 100% Pure Whipped Body Butter Coconut  all over your skin. Cocoa butter is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants so it’ll keep your skin feeling super soft all day and all night.

5. If you still have dry areas like your hands or feet, apply a moisturizer and vaseline then cover with socks or gloves before going to bed. Rinse off in the morning and you should notice softer skin.

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??

How Can I Defend Myself Against It...?

Address Your Skins Needs..

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.

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.

Green Tea.. Natural Skin Defender

 Benefits of Green Tea 

Tea is an ancient herbal drink known for its stimulant qualities largely attributed to caffeine. In modern times, it also became touted as a health food allegedly helpful in preventing or treating a variety of conditions, from heart disease and cancer, to gum disease, skin aging and weight loss. 

  How to Use Green Tea 

When applied to the skin, Green Tea has the ability to fight free  radicals and reduce skin inflammation, protecting the skin against sun damage. Therefore, Green Tea enhances sun protection when used in conjunction with a UV-shielding sunscreen. The calming effects of Green Tea soothe rosacea-prone, dry, and acne-prone skin, while the protective powers inhibit the signs of aging.

 Studies on Benefits of Green Tea 

There have been a number of encouraging studies of skin benefits of green tea. Both animal and human studies have credibly demonstrated that topical green tea formulations reduce sun damage. Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.

A small study showed benefits of 2% polyphenone (via a particular type of green tea extract) in papulopustular rosacea. In particular, a significant reduction in inflammatory lesion was reported compared to placebo.


What about wrinkles, skin sag and other signs of aging? Can green tea help? Considering their well-documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, topical green tea polyphenols are likely to slow down the development of some signs of aging.
