Why, why, why.... Home Made Natural Skincare is Better?

• Natural cosmetics are derived from nature. Herbs and plants have the ability to cleanse and heal. Don't you love to use nothing but the finest quality plant skin care on your body?
• We are living in a fast paced environment which is full of stress, pollutant, unhealthy foods. Do you have sensitive skin, skin allergies or skin problems?
• More and more people have ADH, skin allergies, cancer and many other health issue because of the chemical products that we have been used right from birth until now. Are you interested in knowing what you are applying to your skin?
• Natural products are not only safer they also produce superior results. Many people have reactions to artificial ingredients which offset any positive effects of the products. Conditions like acne or rosacea can be helped by using natural products. Did you tried everything, nothing worked! 

After using our natural skincare recipes, 94% of our clients agreed the look and feel of their skin was transformed. Their skin was softer, smoother and more supple at a fraction of the price of commercial products.

Why should I make my own make up and skin care?

While natural cosmetics and skin care products are a great alternative, they’re often hard to find and more expensive.  Sure, you can’t seem to turn around in the store anymore without seeing a product marked “natural”, but that’s not guarantee that it contains 100 percent natural ingredients.  Often these products are made with some natural ingredients, but also include some of the same artificial ingredients found in other products.

Large cosmetics companies are corporations that are designed to generate profit. Your skin's health is not their concern. The bottom line of these corporations is profit. l'Oreal belongs to Nestle.                Yes! Food industry!

Today cosmetics, perfumes and skin care products constitute multimillion dollar industries, presenting a staggering array of choices to confuse the customer. Much of it is full of synthetic chemicals, mineral oils, preservatives, artificial fragrances and other junk food for the skin. This is due to the fact that mass produced cosmetics need to be relatively sterile in order to extend their otherwise short-lived shelf-life

Just as there are healthy and unhealthy foods, the same applies to skincare products.

The best natural cosmetics are home-made, using high quality vegetable oils and butters, such as coconut, avocado or almond oil, in combination with organic flower waters (hydrosols) and essential oils. Making home-made cosmetics, tailored exactly to your own needs is fun and not all that difficult.Natural cosmetics cost much more than cheap synthetic fillers and dyes.

Demystify the skincare industry by making your own luxurious cosmetic products at a fraction of commercial prices.

• Natural skincare provides: quality, purity, and performance without chemicals. There is no need to add harmful chemicals to achieve a shelf live of several years!
• Hand made skin care is free from artificial perfume, colour and preservative making it ideal for even some of the most sensitive skin
• Hand made skin care is so good , it is good enough to eat! Your skin has pores that not only produce oil and sweat; they also take in chemicals as well.  Even if it’s only a small amount, why take a chance by putting dangerous chemicals on your skin when there are quality natural product alternatives?

My Nana Rose could tell you, nature has a wonderful way of offering simple solutions to seemingly complex problems.  

Designer beauty-industry ads try to convince us that only patented, scientifically formulated products and unpronounceable ingredients offer salvation for troubled skin, while effective and inexpensive alternative wait in your very own kitchen cupboard.

When you will have the skills to make your own cosmetics, you will never look back!

What causes sensitive skin?

• Most of the skin care are actually petro-chemical based detergents which are harsh on the skin, damaging the skin 's natural layer of protectives oils, the sebum, leaving it dried and more open to infection.
• Environmental factors such as stress, pollution, cold weather, drying winds and summer sun, as well as central heater and air conditioning and the quality of tap water can intensify the drying and the ageing of our skin. The repetition days after days of the use of soap with strong chemicals and detergents may result in skin problems or even skin allergies.

Why consider  making natural skin care?
When we consider the vast array of cosmetic products available in supermarkets and stored in our homes, It is easy to see that we are living in an environment saturated by harsh and potentially damaging chemicals.

Some known environment impacts include:

• Pollution to air and waterways (via waste water system) from non- biodegradable synthetic chemicals. Possibility of substances leading to gene/cell changes, cancer and interference with reproductive processes in organisms. 
• Bio-accumulation of toxic chemicals in fatty tissues leading to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), resulting with allergies and skin conditions and Resistance of ‘superbugs’

The easiest way to know which chemicals you are using on your skin is to choose natural ingredients and are safe enough to eat.

Everything you eat is put through stringent tests and inspections to make sure that it’s safe for you and your family.  While different countries have different standards, they all have strict regulations which need to be met.
 

While cosmetics are usually monitored, they aren’t held to the same food standards.  Many ingredients found commonly in cosmetics may even cause illness and health issues.  In fact, many mainstream cosmetic products ingredient list read like a chemistry project!
 

And just because you’re not ingesting the chemicals found in these products, doesn’t mean they’re not getting into your system.  Your skin has pores that not only produce oil and sweat; they also take in chemicals as well.  Even if it’s only a small amount, why take a chance by putting dangerous chemicals on your skin when there are quality natural product alternatives?

Do You Read Skincare Labels?

• The first ingredient of any product is what makes up the majority of that product. For example; the first ingredient of your cleanser and moisturizer is water, the majority of your cosmetics nothing but water.
• Let's say you paid $100 your moisturiser made of 80% of water, you actually paid $80 for 50ml of water!
• To get the appellation of “anti-wrinkles” cream, some night moisturisers can contain sunscreen,(usually titianium dioxide or Zinc dioxide). Why to use sunscreen at night?
• To claim about effecting and penetrating the skin, cosmetics must have printed numbers on their labels, it means they have a license and have been animal tested. Cosmetics with no printed number, do not have a license and can not claim about effecting or penetrating the skin.
• Read the small print. The media is trying to impress you and be aware the claims of the products can be misleading, because the law is on your side, they should claim only right information and you will find them in tiny print on the side of the advertised picture or the packaging.

The skin is the largest organ of our body - a barrier between us and the "outside", and our first line of defense against pollution, chemicals, and the germs and dirt of everyday life.

Our skin is also a delicate filtering system, allowing substances to enter our bodies and even our bloodstream (as an example, think of the many medications that are administered through the skin), and helps us eliminate toxins from our systems.
 

Many of us have dry skin, and most lotions, salves, and oils contain high percentages of mineral oil or other petroleum products.
 

Unfortunately, mineral oil does not absorb well into the skin, and in fact clogs pores and makes it difficult our skin to eliminate toxins. Mineral oil is also a non-renewable resource; it is a by-product of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. Given these facts, it's preferable to use natural vegetable oils as the base ingredient in natural lotions, salves, and moisturizing oils.
Many products also contain colorants, fillers, and fragrances that unfortunately do little except irritate sensitive, delicate skin. Synthetic fragrances and synthetic ingredients can also exacerbate eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and allergies.

Why not learning to make the finest quality plant home made preparations with only pure ingredients. Simply natural and beautiful !

The ingredients used in herbal skin creams have long hiss of medicinal use.
Since ancient times fragrances from herbs and flowers have been thought to benefit the body,mind and emotions. Old manuscripts tell us that they were ingredients used in charms and ceremonies, as well as in remedies, cosmetics and food.

• In the Middle Ages, in particular, monks cultivated herbs and discovered many of their restorative properties, carefully blending them into liqueurs to be administered to patients. Peppermint and anise oils are just two examples.
• Until the First World War, lavender was used as a wound disinfectant.
• Cleopatra is said to have used aloe vera gel to perpetuate her youth, and Alexander the Great used it to heal the wounds of his sol­diers.
• Rosemary stimulates blood flow and was once burned to kill germs in  French hospitals.
• Rose water has been used for centuries as an ingredient gentle, cleansing eyewashes.
• Rose-scented geraniums were used through Europe in ointments and poultices.
• Chamomile and calendula have been used to ease pain and swelling.

Herbal skin creams can go a long way towards healing, moisturising and protecting dry skin.
