Exfoliation: No More Rubbing You The Wrong Way

Exfoliation is a method used for removing dead skin from the face and body. Once the dead skin is removed, “exfoliated”, new, smoother skin is more noticeable.

Our skin is constantly exposed to destructive influences from environmental aggressors like over exposure to sun, pollution and second-hand smoke, as well as the off-putting result of poor diet, alcohol and smoking. The effects from all of these influences are likely to decrease with regular exfoliation. But mind you, this is no invitation to sunbath, smoke cigarettes and booze it up, thinking exfoliation will prevent your skin’s demise.

Exfoliation works by reducing the likelihood of clogged pores and further preventing them from becoming blocked. It allows the skin to release natural oils, and helps stimulate the production of collagen, resulting in a more youthful you. Also, exfoliation helps lessen the appearance of age spots (you know, those unsightly brown spots that emerge over time). And another advantageous benefit, your skincare products will work more effectively because they are better able to penetrate the skin, providing ultimate nourishment and truly meeting your skin’s needs.

Don’t just long for fresh, smooth skin, get it! Here are two genius ways to go from dull and flakey to silky and soft skin that resonates luminosity:

What is "Natural"?

This one of my favorite articles from newsletters past...
The idea of “natural” skincare has become increasingly popular. Some people are choosing natural products because they have a growing concern about ingredients they are putting on their skin. Or they like the way it feels. And others because, well, because it’s becoming increasingly popular.

A product may be touted as “natural”, yet still contain ingredients that are artificial, synthetic and non-renewable (meaning it cannot be re-made, re-grown or regenerated compared to its consumption). When you are choosing natural skincare, no matter what your reason, choose wisely. Here are a few tips that might help with your natural skincare selection.

• Look at the ingredient listing. The product should contain many natural ingredients.
• Do not be swayed by technical-sounding names. While they may be hard to pronounce, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) requires product labels to contain scientific names. If you see Boswellia carterii in your moisturizer… eeek? No, this is the botanical name for frankincense, whose essential oil is helpful in rejuvenating the skin. So do not shy away from odd sounding names before you do your homework.
• Know the skincare company and what they believe. This may not be easy when you pop in to the supermarket or drugstore to pick up a moisturizer. But many of these companies have public knowledge available online.

Be wise and be well. Sari
