Natural Skin Care Products

The heat, lack of sleep and minor irritability has left my skin feeling very “tired” this week. I feel drained and dehydrated, even though I guzzle water and try to eat right. Did you know the skin is the largest organ of the body? When we think of the skin as a living, breathing entity, it makes sense that it needs to be fed and nourished to keep healthy. As I’ve mentioned in other blogs, the sun and other elements really can take a toll on skin. Try to use protection whenever possible. As far as diet, cutting down on the alochol and caffeine is a good start.   There are other things we can do to keep our skin alive and bright, some obvious and some not so clear. For example, do you shower after a day at the pool? Chlorine can’t be good for us.  After a workout, skin should be cleansed to avoid clogged pores.  Using sunscreen is obvious, and I recommend a nourishing day cream such as the one from Aspen Essentials. Once and again, eating fuits and vegetables and drinking lots of aqua keep the skin flush and hydrated.  I am beginning to think that my “tired” skin just might be the result of a lack of sleep, it makes sense that perhaps my skin cells aren’t replenished when I am not replenished. So, in short, sleep well and keep well for healthier skin.

It wasn’t until later in life that I became ever present and concerned about my facial skin. Obviously the face is the most exposed part of the body to the elements, namely the sun and dry air. Take it a little deeper and think about the pollutants out there- dust, exhaust, and smoke. And don’t overlook nutrition. I once read that what we put into our bodies comes out, if you will,  in our skin and hair.  What we choose to nourish our cells with plays a big part in having healthy hair and radiant skin. Keeping hydrated also makes sense. So how about the stuff we can’t control? Skin products to the rescue! Where I used to use over the counter facial scrubs, or gasp, even soap to wash my face, I now only use natural skin products usually sold at spas or natural health stores. Sure they cost a bit more but the results are worth it! I use the Fruit Juice Glacial Cleanser from Skin Essentials every evening. For a deeper clean, about twice a week I’ll use the Alchemy magic mask or the Blueberry peel. I love these products, and as someone who is borderline “obsessive” about reversing the signs of aging, I highly recommend them to anyone with a face.

I admit it-I am now officially hooked on Aspen Essentials natural skin care products , namely the Hydrating Serum.  I cannot imagine stepping out of the shower or after washing my face in the morning (whichever time allows) and slathering on Essentials High Altitude Firming Fluid to lock in whatever dewy moisture I can. Trust me, this stuff is amazing! It is made from organic fruit juice, cane sugar, green trea extract, meadowform oil and marine minerals. WOW! How can that not cradle your skin?  It has an amazing smell and is light to the touch. Use this serum in the morning and night, and follow with nourishing day or night cream.

People who simply buy over the counter lotions and creams are really missing out on the good stuff. If you do a little research, natural products are better, with less additives likely to cause skin flare-ups- now who needs that? I was introduced to “serums” as awesome facial hydration a long time ago by my ex boyfriend, who was a Naturopathic medical student at the time.  Unfortunately, our relationship didn’t last, but mine with this product will, for a long, long time.

“Ask me How I got this body”

I usually use over the counter products for my skin, excluding my face. I am talking arms, legs etc. While certain brands are “okay” as an out of the shower lotion, I find they don’t give me that mositure-rich skin I am looking for, that last throughout the dry day.

The other day I tried the Moisturizing Body Whip with CoQ10 and antioxidants, and was amazed by the results. The smell is tangy and fresh, and my arms felt alive and luxurious. This “whip” is ultra dewy but non-greasy, light to the touch and really does the job of soaking into the skin and staying there. I felt really soft all day, like baby’s skin. I am looking forward to the next time I shave my legs (which is usually a dread) so I can soften them up immediatley with this product. Summer means shorts, so its time for soft supple legs.

I highly recommend Essentials Natural Skin Care products, specially designed for this altitude.

Our skin is the largest organ in our body, one that is most susceptible to chemicals, harsh substances and changing climatic conditions.

In today’s stressful and busy lifestyle, we often tend to ignore our skin’s need for care and attention. Though it is very easy to suffer from skin problems, it becomes excessively difficult to recover from skin damage if ignored for a long time. Add to this the irreparable harm that strong chemical products cause.

If you have been ignoring your skin’s requirement for complete care and a lot of looking after, its time to take the first step forward towards enjoying healthy, clean and glowing skin.

I started using two of the products from Aspen Life Essentials over a month ago. The first being the fruit juice glacier cleanser I use it twice a day, once in the morning and right before I go to bed. I have very sensetive skin and a lot of times when I try a new product it may cause a break out, rash, and even dry spots. So needless to say I don’t do it often. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have a reaction, instead the fruit juice glacier cleanser left my skin feeling clean and bright.

I also use the magic alchemy masque twice a week, I leave it on for about 10 minutes each time. I love this product because it has changed my skin drastically. I always wanted to be able to go out on the town with little or no foundation, but because my skin is uneven and has red spots I haven’t felt comfortable to do so. This product has reduced my redness and the appearance of dry skin. Before I know it I will be able to leave my place with just a little bit of mascara and lip gloss. I can’t wait to try the rest of the line.

I have fond memories of a best girlfriend and I doing “primp and pamper” days when we would mess up the bathroom and go to town. Jars of creams came out, bubble baths frothed, we’d shave our legs, do our nails, put creams and masks on our face and then go giggle and gossip while the paint dried.

It’s been way too long since I endulged in something like that, so this weekend I put my hair in a knot on top of my head, sighed in the mirror at some subtle, but very present “age spots” and went to work. I used a citrus microbrasion cleanser…what a refreshing “wowza!” for my skin. I scrubbed under my eyes and could feel the dry skin dissolving, literally. Then I slathed on some nourshing day cream and left for the day. My skin felt quite cool and calm.

I admit it, I am a sucker for the sun, one of the biggest culprits known to dry and age the skin. Not to mention the dangers of skin cancer, yikes: I have vowed to try using a mositurizer with an SPF in it, but I haven’t committed fully yet.

After a long day out and about, doing what gals do, I was ready to wind down for the evening. Drenched from a heated yoga class, I used some fruit cleansing gel to wash up and then put on a mask of sorts, the Alchemy Magic mask by Skin Essentials. The directions said to leave on for 4-20 minutes, and after about 5 minutes I felt tingly, which can only mean something is working! After washing off the light, grainy scrub, my skin felt alive and new! Next came a rich, heavy night cream formulated just for sweet dreams and something special for the area around my eyes, which just drinks this stuff in. I went to bed and woke up feeling pretty darn good about taking care of my skin. I enjoyed my 2 day skin soiree very much, and resolved to keep it up.

Natural and specially formulated products with specific uses definitely make a difference.
