Exciting New Exfoliating Face Scrub Which Also Helps To Save The Environment

Tweet

What if there were a product such as a face scrub for both men and women which did not use microbeads at all? Those microbeads are in loads of everyday cosmetic products from body wash to face scrubs and even toothpaste. But some companies are already producing products which can avoid the chaos and damage to the environment.  This is revolutionary – it just needs people to wake up and stop buying harmful products.  
   
Microbeads are bad for the environment.

They are just tiny polyethylene elements which are supposed to tighten the pores in your skin and kill off dead cells. But the damage they do to the ecosystem is staggering.  The State of Illinois has banned these already. Watch the video to find out what damage these can cause to our environment. Given that they can

 last up to 100 years, this is scary. The fish eat them because they look like food and then we eat the fish! You can see why this is urgent and why the Great Lakes states are already trying to push legislation through. 

 

What about alternative products?

Yes, there are companies who are determined not to use any ingredients which will ruin our environment and at the same time do our skin a lot of good. This is a win win situation. Did you know that the very soft volcanic pumice stone often used for cleaning stains from hands can also be used in delicate skin care?  The actual stone (Ryolite lava rock) has fine and coarse grounds which can clear away dead cells and when used in conjunction with apple peel, can help to clean all the clogged pores while revealing fresh new cells which can finally let you have fresh, rejuvenated skin.

There are other ingredients which are totally skin-friendly and which are more than effective. These include Shea butter, Jojoba oil which can moisturize at several layers and give your skin a fresh new look. This company (xtendlife) is streets ahead of the new legislation. They have already done what most companies will only start to do in a few years’ time. Why not be ahead of the game and help save the planet?

If you want to learn about dark circles under eyes home remedies, read on because I have a few suggestions for you.  Look at the following vegetables which can all be applied to the eye area and will give you results provided you do it regularly.

The best ingredients are :-

·        rose otto oil

·        cucumber slices

·        potato puree

It is fascinating to learn that Avicenna who was the great Persian doctor recommended rose oil as a cure for many ailments. It is no accident that his most famous book, The Canon of Medicine was used right up to the seventeenth century in many European countries.

Now there are other essential oils which are just great for the skin and especially for the dark circles under eye home remedies which is the main point of this blog post.  The best one for our purpose here is jojoba oil which can be mixed with the rose oil and then add it to cotton wool which can be applied directly to the under eye area.

Jojoba oil beats many other oils for several reasons :-

·        better stability than other oils like grape seed oil

·        does not contain triglycerides

·        very close to the chemical structure in human skin.

·        its tiny molecules means that it can penetrate the skin much more easily than many other oils.

Dark Circles Under Eyes Products

Many of these products contain harmful chemicals so we must look for completely organic ones which are fully compatible with our skin. In addition, we are looking for products which can reduce :-

·        swelling and puffiness

·        dark color due to spillage from the delicate capillaries which abound in the under eye area.

In addition we are looking for other organic vitamins, minerals and enzymes which can strengthen and firm up the skin there. This is an area which is subject to lots of wear and tear due to muscular movements and it also happens to be one of the most delicate skin areas on the body.  Click here to find out more about darkcircles under eyes organic treatment.

Using Eco Friendly Skincare Products For Better Health

Tweet

So you think that the water treating systems in the USA will be able to filter out all those nasty chemicals in personal care products? Well, the truth is that according to the authorities, there are about 20% of these that are sub standard and are not working properly.  That basically means that the Safe Drinking Water Act is not being fully enforced. That should raise a red flag and encourage us to use products which are much more eco friendly and will help to protect the environment we live in and the water we actually drink.

Southern California Coastal Water Research Project

Because a lot of the chemicals we use in products cannot easily be broken down, they tend to stay intact and poison our water sources.  For example, researchers at the Southern California Coastal Water Research project have found that hormones in fish life have been affected. What is bad for fish cannot be good for us! 

Fish hormone levels disrupted

In another study, it was found that many pharmaceutical elements such as steroids and antibiotics together with antidepressants were found in fish life near water treatment plants. Add in all the parabens which can affect human hormone levels and all the petroleum derived substances and we have a chemical mix which is harmful to human health. Water treatment systems just cannot cope with the deluge.Using less plastic will also help.

Our own health is at risk

Apart form the drinking water, we are also applying all these substances to our skin and that is being absorbed into the bloodstream. The main problem chemicals which can affect hormone levels and cause various health problems are:-

• Parabens
• SLS  (sodium laurel sulphates in most shampoos)
• Fragrances – 90% are made from synthetic chemicals
• Petroleum derived products (usually better for engines and machinery lubricants!)

Action plan to safeguard ourselves and the planet

They say that good planets are hard to find!  That is so true and although there are 100 billion galaxies, there could be other planets which support life but that is another story!

We have to preserve life on THIS planet as it is the only one we have at the moment.

The best way is to go for organic skincare products and selecting those which have none of the harmful ingredients I have mentioned above. In this way, we will be doing our bit to preserve the planet!
