BUILD TIMELESS BEAUTY WITH NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS



The New York Times write-up on aging today puts forth simple tips. Advising elderly people, author Gerald Marzorati says,  You seize time and you make it yours. You counter the narrative of diminishment and loss with one of progress and bettering. … In this new pursuit of yours, practice is your practice: It comes to determine the way you eat and sleep and shape your days.”

Like other body organs, skin also faces natural wear-and-tear, aggravated by sun exposure and other factors. Underlying our skin is a fiber meshwork of collagen and elastin -- proteins that keep skin firm. When skin is stretched, this protein matrix snaps it back into place. As we age, the fiber network weakens, and skin sags as it loses its support structure.

Features of aging skin are: it becomes thinner, losing fat; the plump smoothness of skin is replaced by a rougher texture; gravity relentlessly tugs on weakened skin, creating the drooping of  jowls or "chicken fat" under the arms. In the natural aging that starts as early as 20’s, though not noticeable soon, one finds decreased cellular regeneration, loss of underlying fat, thinning and sagging of skin.

As skin specialist, Herbally Radiant advises customers that premature aging is controllable. Main cause is sun damage - referred to as the photo-aging since it is predominantly caused by ultraviolet exposure over long periods of time. UV rays break down collagen and elastin and slow the production of new collagen which aids in skin repair and gives skin its strength. 

Useful tips to prevent premature aging  signs:
-Apply sun protection cream and lotions (SPF 30) to all exposed areas. UVA (aging) rays can penetrate glass so protection is absolutely necessary. Delicate eyes and lip area need special care too.

-Take antioxidant rich foods like fruits and vegetables. Good skin health comes with healthy diets. Green leafy veggies like kale and spinach have some of the highest vitamin content of all vegetables.

-Include Omega-3 in diet, an essential fatty acid which promotes healthy formation of cells, making them supple and flexible. Eat more salmon, tuna, walnuts, kale, spinach and winter squash for softer skin.

-Stop smoking as it causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the skin due to the accumulated nicotine and also reduces the collagen and elastin production in the skin causing it to age and sag prematurely

-Sugary food causes skin to dull and wrinkle prematurely due to a process called glycation. This process causes sugar in the bloodstream to attach to proteins that form harmful molecules called AGE’s that damage other proteins in the skin, particularly the collagen and elastin fibers.

-Avoid excessive drinking. Alcohol dilates blood vessels in the skin and increases the blood flow near its surface. Taxing the liver can show up on skin as a sallow complexion along with promoting the bad collagen (scar tissue) to build in the skin. Blood vessels become permanently damaged over time causing a blotchy, uneven, red look to the skin. Alcohol is also a diuretic and dehydrates body.

-Winter protection is vital to maintain soft and smooth skin. In extreme cold, skin requires special care against chapping & dehydration. Moisturizers with high water content are not adequate. Good protective creams, made with minimal water and maximum emollients are better even on coldest of days.

-Repeated facial expressions lead to early formation of fine lines and wrinkles; as the skin loses elasticity, the skin doesn’t spring back to its original state.

-Get enough sleep; good for health and physical appearance. Skin regenerates itself while body is in rest. Avoid indoor tanning – the sun lamps expose you to harmful UV rays that accelerate skin aging.

Herbal organic skin care formulations: The multi-billion dollar anti-aging skin care industry, dominating the cosmetic products, is expanding as millennials like to maintain young looks to boost personality. Many new products claiming to prevent emergence of lines or wrinkles fizzle out. 

Beauty formulations, with natural plant-based ingredients, backed with centuries of safety, reliability and effectiveness, create remarkably long lasting effect, wonderfully reducing appearance of aging effects. The anti-aging formulations launched by Herbally Radiant (Rejuvenating and Radiant range) are now very popular for their amazing effect on all skin types. These are:

Serum:  Herbally Radiant makes three kinds , depending upon skin type: Rejuvenating, Radiant and Perfection. These potent serums firm up and tighten the skin. Pigmentation and dark spots are two most difficult signs of ageing to address, but these potent serums take care of them. The combination of special ingredients in the serums slows down melanin production, and provides antioxidant benefits. 

Cleanser:  We advise customers to avoid usual soaps as they contain sulfate, creating foam and fragrance but leaving skin dry. To remove makeup and other residue, use Cleansers. The organic Herbally Radiant cleansers do the fine work of gently cleaning  pores, preventing blackheads by controlling the excess flow of sebum and protecting skin from acne, pimples, spots and rashes.

Toner: The natural toners complement the effect of anti-aging serum and cleanser, act as multi-purpose lotions, by texturizing and refreshing skin, helping to reduce surface oil and refine the pores. The toners  prepare the skin to absorb the ingredients of good moisturizers.

Cream:  Both anti-aging creams, Rejuvenating and Radiant,  are a combination of exotic herbal extracts, based on ancient formula used by royal houses to moisturize and preserve beautiful appearance. Both serums contain amazing rejuvenating properties, helping to maintain the elasticity of the skin and preserving youthful shape.

Day Cream: Body Day Cream is a special formulation; a wonderful tonic for the whole body, especially in winter when skin needs extra boost. It hydrates the complexion and softens scarring over time. This concoction has essential vitamins and minerals to keep skin well moisturized and protected.

Eye Cream: Delicate area under the eye needs special care. This highly recommended eye cream tackles dark circles and fine lines without any irritation. The tiniest amount goes a long way, sweep it on just at the top of the cheekbone for the best results.

Face Mask: Three excellent scrubs-masks: Clean Scrub, Pumpkin Mask and turmeric-based mineral face mask.  The mineral face mask, with turmeric and powerful minerals (kaolin and bentonite clay), has rejuvenating properties; it’s like having a chemical peel without the downtime, detoxifying skin with hibiscus. The Clean face scrub is the top formulation for sensitive skin type. Pumpkin face mask, a pure plant-based product, can be applied frequently for all skin types.

Silky Primer: This lotion is meant to be used under moisturizer, but  ladies also love using it as a protective base before make-up for added radiance.  Keeps face shining and smooth.
