As the
year comes to an end, we prepare to usher into the New Year with new resolutions,
ambitions and goals. Frequent partying during the holiday season motivates many
to care for their weight, overall health and, of course, maintaining beautiful looks
and appearance. This takes us to a healthy and effective skin care regimen.
During the younger years, the body is naturally programmed to
maintain clear, smooth, soft skin, and one usually tends to ignore extra care.
However, as we age, our skin begins to work less efficiently, thinning out,
losing elasticity, and sagging. Exposure to stress-environmental, physical,
mental-only exacerbates this aging process. Such changes can begin at a much
younger age if your skin does not receive proper care, or if it is exposed to
harsh toxic chemical-based formulations.
Going in
for expensive or glamorously marketed products is not the right answer for good
skin care regimen. With decades of our
experience and expertise in formulating safe, effective and inexpensive organic
formulations at Herbally Radiant, we have learnt the fine art of enhancing
beautiful appearance.
As Mary Beth Janssen, reputed
beauty and wellness educator at Chopra Center, has written, the goal in organic skin care is to ensure regular sloughing off and
turnover of skin cells and to maintain its natural acid mantle, which is a
combination of sebum and perspiration that your body secretes to protect and
moisturize your skin's surface. This helps rebuild damaged collagen and elastin
(the chief protein in your skin's elastic fibers) in order to maintain skin
strength, elasticity, and resiliency.
There are
many methods for optimizing cellular turnover. Body brushing, cleansing with a
facial mitt or buff, using deeply cleansing masks, and using alpha-hydroxy
acids or AHA's (natural organic fruit acids), can all help exfoliate dead
surface cells and maintain efficient skin cell turnover. Your skin can get
AHA's through a wide variety of treatments, from peels to moisturizing lotions.
To protect your skin's natural acid mantle, which covers your entire body, use only
gentle acid-balanced cleansers to wash. Please avoid antibacterial or deodorant
soaps, most of which contain sulfate and other harsh chemicals.
The
combination of Essential Oils, used by Herbally Radiant for both imparting
soothing fragrance and for creating aromatherapy effect, are very effective in maintaining
skin’s vibrating energy, keeping it radiant, smooth, supple, elastic, and
moist. This kind of skin shows that lymph fluid is removing toxins and boosting
immunity. Stress is under control, antioxidants are preventing free radical
damage, and hormones are balanced. The oil and sweat glands are bathing the
skin with just the right amount of natural oil and moisture, which in turn
maintains the skin's natural acid mantle.
Regular
exfoliating helps skin to be in a constant state of renewal, turning over and
shedding over a million skin cells an hour in a sort of healthful internal
dance.
The perfectly natural, organic ways to create beautiful skin are
to manage stress, eat healthfully, stay hydrated, get a good balance of physical
activity and rest, practice sun protection, and avoid smoking. And naturally,
follow a healthful skin-care regimen with pure products, where you always use
only the gentlest manipulation of the skin. Rough tugging, rubbing, or abrasive
handling with your fingers, hands, towels, tissues or machines can mechanically
damage your skin.
Please follow the advice of experts in natural beauty products;
the counter people at stores, focused on sales, are not necessarily the ‘experts’
on skin health. There are easy steps to
begin safe and effective skin transformation, to reduce wrinkles, lines and
spots and to rejuvenate the skin. The physician available for free consultation
on skin care at Herbally Radiant, can provide professional help and guidelines
for the right kind of beauty treatment.
