Summer Skincare Tips

During the sunnier months when we are all showing off a lot of skin, it is essential to take care of your skin. Each morning in the shower use an exfoliating sponge or massager. This will clean off dead skin cells, that for your complexion will cause havoc - particularly once you take into consideration sweat and makeup. Use a natural body scrub with revitalizing properties.

It's essential throughout the summer to keeping the skin well protected. This is often conjointly necessary if within the long-term you would like to avoid all wrinkles.

Why Natural Deodorant?

Why Natural Deodorant?

If you’ve ever taken the time to do more than just glance at your deodorant, you might have found yourself faced with a daunting array of letters that are surely spelling something in English, but which, for the life of you, you can’t pronounce. These interestingly enough, are the deodorant ingredients, of the deodorant which you so unthinkingly put on day after day.

One of my friends had a good theory when it came to food and eating, considering the fact that most of our foods are so chemical laden. She refused to eat anything for which she couldn’t pronounce the name of the ingredients.

Having scared myself by reading my deodorant ingredients, I have to say that I whole-heartedly agree with her, only in this case, I have resolved not to put anything on my body that has ingredient names that I can’t pronounce.

Most of the deodorant ingredients that you find these days are bad for you in some way or other, and although some of them might only be used in minute amounts and therefore alright to use, isn’t it true that we use our deodorants every single day, year after year?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it true that even a minute amount of toxins, if taken on a long term basis, will have an effect on our system? And that’s where the confusion and the denials begin, and throw people off the scent. Yes, claim the scientists and other associated people, this is perfectly true, because even a small amount of toxins taken over a long period of time, can add up to something bigger.

Need I remind anyone that up until a few years ago arsenic was commonly used in households, and let’s not even go into the whole CFC thing. How many times do we need to be hit over the head with these things before we wise up?

With the turn of the twentieth century however, there has been a positive trend, and people now seem to lean more towards natural products, and to stay away from the chemical laden products that we are bombarded with.

Although the majority of the people have yet to be convinced on the matter either way, it is uplifting indeed to see the numbers of those willing to turn away from these chemical laden products, swell the ranks of those already existing people.

And to think that on my part at least, it all started because I took the time one day to read the deodorant ingredients on something that I had been using ever since I hit puberty. Makes you stop and think, doesn’t it?
