How does your skin handle tanning (sometimes burning), chapping (or windburn), and other elements? Often dry tight skin is the result of the seasonal elements as well as normal bathing. Caring for your skin throughout the year is very important to the organ.
Organic care of it gives it an added advantage since it is not attempting to fight off various man made pollutants from the various non organic cleansers, moisturizers, etc. As you age, your skin s health becomes even more important, making many wish that they had taken better care of it while they were younger. Your skin is a life long organ which does a number of things for you, making it ever important, no matter your age.
An extremely important aspect of your skins overall health is its moisture level. Dehydrated skin tends to chap, dry, and crack, giving openings for various bacteria and viruses to enter the body. Using good moisturizers is one of the major tricks in improving and maintaining the skin s overall condition.
Moisturizers are a combination of water (for hydration) and fats/oils to lock in the water. Through this, skin appears more supple, which helps maintain a more youthful appearance. Many prefer lighter moisturizers during the day and heavier ones at night.
The lighters ones absorb into the skin more readily because they are mainly water, but they also disappear quickly. Heavier moisturizers contain less water and are often applied to damp skin immediately after bathing. These have a longer staying power due to having more fats/oils in them. A combination of both ingredients is necessary for skin health.
Get your favorite moisturizer and you will find a list of ingredients like: Cetyl Alcohol, Caprylic Triglyceride, Dimethicone, and Cyclopentasiloxane among a million other words you cannot pronounce, much less begin to know what they are or where they were derived from. Did you ever wonder exactly what you were putting on your face?
If you turn another direction and think organic skin care, especially homemade organic products, you will usually know exactly what you are putting on your face. The best way to know what is going on your face is to make your moisturizer at home, using organic products. Keep in mine that you need to buy organically grown ingredients when making these.
Non organic products tend to have traces of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in them, which will still leave you wondering what you are using. These moisturizers should only be made up for one week and stored in the refrigerator because the lack of preservatives.
