The Essentials for Youthful Looking Hands

Are you neglecting your hands in your skin care regime? Just like the face and neck area, hands need TLC to fight the signs of ageing.

All too often, we neglect our hands as part of our skin care regime. The hands, just like the face, age with lines, wrinkles, and brown spots. Additionally, as we age the skin on the back of your hands looses elasticity and the skin becomes thinner. Furthermore, the hands can be a real distraction when neglected, (dirty fingernails, coarse cuticles, calluses, etc.). Your hands are part of your first impression in when meeting new people. Are you ever taken aback by someone’s hand when they shake yours?

As with the face, your hands and nails need exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and promote circulation. Additionally, your hands need moisturizing to hydrate and soften. Furthermore, hands should be protected from sun damage. Below are some tips to promote youthful hands and a well manicure look:

Hand Care

I personally encourage the use of rubber gloves when cleaning or doing dishes. The anti-bacterial soaps and other cleaning products are detrimental to the hands. They extract all the natural oils from the hands and leave them dry and vulnerable to wrinkles. In addition, harsh soaps can cause contact dermatitis.

Clean, soft, and smooth hands can be easily accomplished with the right cleansing products. An exfoliate to remove calluses can be easily made with natural ingredients already in your kitchen, such as oatmeal, cornmeal or even sugar. After exfoliation, rinse and apply a moisturizing hand cream. Below is a simple exfoliating recipe for the hands or for all over the body.

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup canola oil

Mix ingredients and rub into hands. Feel the granules of the sugar smooth out rough spots and the oil moisturize the skin. A simple but effective recipe.

Finally, always protect your hands with a sunscreen.

Look at your hands now. Are they soft, supple, and feeling great or are they dry, cracked and need a little TLC? Following the easy steps listed above you will see a remarkable improvement in the appearance of your hands.

Tips for Fingernail Care:

Keep your nails manicured to a length that suits you. When filing your nails use an upward stroke along the top side of the nail. The new trend in nail appearance is square at the top versus the rounded appearance. Whatever your choice do not file your nails along the side walls as this weakens the nail.

Applying nail polish is fine, however in the removal process be sure to rinse your nails with water. The nail polish remover has a tendency dissolve the nail thus weakening them. In addition, do a patch test prior to using nail polish remover, as it has been know to cause contact dermatitis in some people.

When cleaning your nails, use a nail brush in the shower or sink. Digging too far underneath the nail destroys the nail base and enlarges the white space between the nail plate and nail base. A gentle nail brush is much better for cleaning the nails. In addition, the gentle scrubbing under the fingernail promotes circulation to the finger tip.

The cuticle is an important part of the fingernail. It seals the area at the base of the nail protecting the nail base and the nail development system. Poking, prodding and cutting at the cuticle are not necessary. Doing so leaves your fingernail vulnerable to infection and bacteria. Once bacteria or infection sets in under the cuticle or nail, your nails will grow out with ridges or other unsightly markings. Gently massaging the cuticle with cuticle creams or lotion is fine to promote circulation and soften the cuticle for a well manicure look.

A nice cuticle softener is olive oil. Just dab a small amount onto the cuticle and massage.

Vijay Raisinghani asked:

Natural and Organic skin care are very much talked about in these days. I myself also buy natural organic skin care products only. But it is important to check out the authenticity of these organic skin care products.

This is because a lot of product manufacturers are trying to sell their below standard products taking unfair advantage of the name "natural" and "organic". Hence, it really becomes crucial to read carefully about the ingredients that these natural organic skin care products use, before you consider buying them.

Now you should also take note that you will not find any organic skin care product that is 100% natural. Even though even I believe that that natural path is the best path. Some degree of processing is definitely involved.

And, in fact, the combination of nature and science create wonderfully effective organic skin care products. The efficacy of herbal and organic skin care raw materials is enhanced by processing through scientifically proven technology.

What you should really be alert against is the unnatural and harmful chemicals like parabens or fragrances. Parabens are preservatives to improve the life of the skin care products. They have been known to cause cancer. Fragrances are the chemicals put in skin care products for nice smell, but can cause skin irritations and allergies.

So, after looking at the harmful substances to avoid in organic skin care products, it would be good to consider what kind of natural ingredients that one should look for which can play a vital constructive role in your skin health and rejuvenation.

One of the excellent natural ingredients that is being used successfully as part of a natural effective organic skin care is Phytessence Wakame. It is an extract from a special Japanese sea kelp. The beauty of this substance is that it enhances the level of hyaluronic acid in our body.

Hyaluronic acid works with the vital proteins-collagen and elastin in our body and helps our to skin remain young, supple and vibrant.

Besides that, Natural oils also play a very positive role as ingredients in natural organic skin care systems. This simple criterion to look for in this regard is whether the oil clogs your skin’s pores or not. Like for example, mineral oil is absolutely unsuitable for your skin and does a lot of harm, as it blocks the skin pores and almost chokes them from breathing naturally.

Some of the beneficial oils are-

Avocado oil – This special oil has proven its outstanding efficacy in increasing the production of collagen in the body. It has also shown great improvements in skin hydration.

Babassu – It is a part of the family of natural emollients. It plays a key role in maintaining skin moisture and softening and healing the skin that has wrinkles. It works particularly well on the thinner portions of our skin, like the area around the eyes.

Shea Butter – This is also a part of the family of natural emollients. It also plays a leading role in maintaining skin moisture. Apart from that, it also soothes skin inflammation, reduces dark spots from the skin and clears pigment inconsistencies. It works wonderfully well in clearing stretch marks.

This information clearly gives you an upper edge when you select the best natural organic skin care product for yourself.

You can explore many more of such wonderful natural substances at my website, where I have put in a detailed research on the effective role they can play in your skin rejuvenation.

So check out all the natural and organic skin care products handmade by Linda Anousta. You won’t be dissapointed!

Margaret Bell asked:

What is the true definition of organic skin care?  We if many of the leading cosmetics companies are to be believed, it means that as long as you include a smidgen of honey you can pretty much throw in anything else that you want.  It’s those mystery ingredients in supposedly organic skin care products that you have to watch out for.

I refer to them as “mystery” ingredients not because the company is hiding anything really since the contents are posted right on the label.  It’s because you would have to be a med school professor to know off the top of your head what half of those ingredients are.  Most of these ingredients don’t pertain to organic skin care in any way.

That’s the problem with a great many organic skin care products being marketed today.  The active ingredients contained in these creams are only there in small quantities, and even the in low doses.  The rest of the ingredients are chemical preservatives and engineered fragrances.

Fragrances Could Be Carcinogenic

Methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl parabens are widely use in organic skin care creams as preservatives.  Studies have suggested that these chemicals may cause cancer.  They have also been found to interfere with the body’s endocrine system, as well as cause skin rashes and allergic reactions.

The fragrances added to most organic skin care products are made up of any number of chemical, many of which are known to be carcinogenic.  A lot of the non cancer-causing chemicals used are recognized toxins, which can do a variety of damage including affecting your central nervous system.

Why would these poisons even be allowed in organic skin care creams anyway?  The chemicals utilized to make up the fragrances absolutely should not be in any cosmetics products.  Developing an artificial aroma for a cream serves no purpose other than to make that cream seem more appealing to you.

A Company Who Does It Right – They Care

There is a company based in England that simply refuses to use parabens preservatives in their organic skin care products.  They don’t use fragrances either for that matter.  Their belief is that the health of their customers is more important saving a few pennies through the inclusion of cheap, unnecessary, chemical additives.

This company holds the philosophy that organic skin care should mean exactly that, organic.  They believe that when you open a tube of skin cream, the only thing that you should be able to smell is the pure, natural vegetable oils inside. I believe that they are absolutely right.

Real Organic Ingredients

Organic skin care products should include ingredients such as avocado oil, grape seed oil, passion fruit extract, and Japanese brown sea kelp.  That certainly sounds a lot better than what you’re finding in many of these other popular products.  It also sounds as if this product would be a lot better for you.

It is actually refreshing to know that there are still some companies left that care more about giving their customers a far superior product than they are about how large a profit they will turn.  When it comes to organic skin care do yourself a favor, and turn to the people of Anousta Natural Skin Care.  I did and I can truthfully say their products work.

Juliet Cohen asked:

Natural and healthful rind maintenance products are healthier for your rind which can behave as a membrane absorbing rind maintenance ingredients. Many traditional products carry chemicals that can harm your rind and can get unfavorable health effects over moment. There are many benefits to using healthful products, both for the surroundings and for you. Organic products are environmentally sustainable and accountable as they do not take man-made chemicals or non-renewable resources. There are truly few vegan skincare products on the market and many products that require to be all natural are not. Organic rind maintenance is becoming really favorite these days, and most health nutrient stores have a part devoted to these products.

The basis for robust rind maintenance starts with a robust diet wealthy in entire foods. Foods higher in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, vital fatty acids and higher fibre whole grains are essential to sustain the rind. Unique maintenance is given to select and produce technological combinations of organically grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs, and new normal botanicals long known for their beautifying and curative properties. Natural ingredients from the ground and seas, such as: linden and calendula plants, jasmine and rose petals, rosehip, yarrow, greenish foods, nettles, paprika, normal thermal mineral spring waters, plus overly many new botanical extracts to cite offer hike to a lovely, clear-cut, balanced, revitalized, and naturally glowing complexion, available results that alone nature can develop.

Healthy skin is more often than not dependant on doing the things that help along the body’s own natural cleansing and repair processes. Many people want to use organic products instead of man-made, synthetic ones. They may prefer organic products due to environmental sensibilities or because they feel these products are gentler. Organic skin care products are usually more expensive than regular products because organic crops yield less produce than non-organic crops. Organic & herbal skin care products are as good for you, as they are at making you look good. Skin care products made of organic materials will help awaken that younger ‘you.’ If you have normal skin, it is likely to be problem free, look healthy and clear of spots and blemishes most of the time. It is important to regularly use a facial wash or cleanser, and non heavy moisturiser everyday too.

Every person has a different facial type, which means everyone has different skin care needs. While some of us have experience of excess oiliness on the face, there are others who will experience dryness on the face. Therefore, the most important thing to do before starting an organic skin care regimen is to establish your own facial type. Skin is one of the most important organs of the body, so it is important to perform proper research before making any purchases of any organic goods. This will keep you looking healthy for years to come, and it will also help prevent unwanted acne or blemishes. Organic men’s skin care products tend to be oil or moisture based, and are without harsh chemicals so you will find them gentler than other ranges. Eating less fatty food is the usual stock recommendation and while this is undeniable true it is equally important to make sure that you look at the quality and balance of your food intake.

…well there could hardly be a worse place for it really

Most doctors will provide steroid based creams to " treat" this condition but it can be tackled from various other ways.

Eczema is a Greek word and means " to boil over". It is where skin is inflamed, red, and sore. The skin cracks easily. The use of most commercial lip salves made with Petroleum, liquid Paraffin etc will go a long way to making the lips drier.  Using an Anousta lip salve made with Cold Pressed Almond oil, a little beeswax and some cocoabutter will go a long way to improving the situation. Anousta lip salves will help soften the lips and prevent the skin drying out.

One of the most common forms of Eczema is atopic dermatitis (or "atopic eczema").  Many children will find this condition will often clears up but there are things that should be looked at. It can be a sign of toxic build up in the body and it can also occur at times of stress. It can also become infected with Staph Aureus (known as the Golden Killer on nursing wards of the past)

The skin is the first place to show when we have a toxic overload and it can only do good to make sure the bowels are clean and working efficiently to help clear the Eczema up ASAP.

Your body is equipped to handle some amount of detoxification on its own but problems occur when there is an overload of toxins due to increased acidity. Your organs like your liver, kidney and colon start to slow down. This is when toxins start to show up on your skin, manifesting into a condition called Eczema.

So, in order for your skin (outward appearance) to heal, you must give your body a chance to remove the excess waste and to repair itself. For an eczema condition, you would need to detoxify your body, correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies and restore healthy digestion.

So, how do you remove these toxins?

As the very first step, your body and skin are going to feel better, once you stop eating the following highly acidic and unhealthy foods; such as sugar, chocolate, cola and soft-drinks preservatives, fats & oils, alcohol, sweets, MSG as well as pharmaceutical drugs.

Then, you need to find ways to help yourself cleanse and remove the excess waste

A trained nutritionist should be consulted at all times but a simple quick and effective way for starters to help keep the bowels effective and working well is to follow this advice.

Take 1 Tablespoon of organic linseed and 1 Tablespoon of Alfalfa seed and soak in a small pot with enough water to soak the seeds and cover them.

Allow to soak overnight.

In the morning add a little juice or flavoured drink to the mix and swallow in the morning. Do the same procedure so that you have an evening dose of soaked seeds as well. Within one week or less, a vast difference will be noted and the bowels will be moving toxins out of the body much faster. This in turn will help the skin  and lips of the person experiencing Eczema.

Rachel Hammond asked:

I have often wondered why there is such a shortage of authentically organic skin care creams available.  Since so many people have become more health conscious you would think that manufacturing these products would bring the cosmetics companies a lot of money, and they probably would.  For some reason though, they continue to resist the call.

People are clamoring for organic skin care creams because they have finally caught on to the fact that the low cost chemical ingredients that the majority of cosmetics companies use to make their products are not only bad for you, but they could also turn out to be deadly.  It has been discovered through the years that many of the ingredients still regularly used in cosmetics increase your risk of developing cancer.

One of the reasons that I stress the importance of organic skin care products, especially for women, is because the most widely used family of chemical preservatives in cosmetics were discovered to be in the tumors removed from a variety of breast cancer victims.  If you look at the labels of the cosmetics that you have at home and they say that the product contains any of the parabens then throw them out, because it’s just not worth the risk.

There are certain companies that respect their fellow man enough to manufacture wholly organic skin care creams, but the majority of them are companies under the European Union.  This means that typically you won’t find a lot of these products available in stores, because they are mainly small to mid-sized companies that prefer to operate as direct shippers.

The best sources of these products are from one of the companies that signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.  This is an agreement that states that the company will not include as ingredients anything that is even remotely suspected of possibly causing harm to humans.  There is one particular member of this fraternity that stands out.

There is a company in New Zealand that has put together a line of organic skin care creams that will do what no other products in the industry will do.  Using specifically chosen natural proteins and extracts these products increase the production of collagen and elastin, and they raise your ebbing levels of hyaluronic acid back up to where it should be.

The inclusion of both Functional Keratin and Phytessence Wakame in their organic skin care products has given this company the most potent formulas in the business, and I would advise anyone who wants to enjoy the appearance of their younger days to give these safe and wonderful products a try.  You won’t be disappointed by the results that you get.

These are the only organic skin care creams that can currently be found that within a few short weeks will literally remove years from the way that you appear.  For those of you who have waited patiently for an extraordinary breakthrough in cosmetics it has finally come, and you have the good people of New Zealand to thank for it.

 Why Should I Go With Organic Skin Care?

Bart Icles asked:

You might be asking yourself why the movement towards organic skin care products has been so enforced within the past few years. If you are asking yourself this, you may want to try it. Those who have turned to organic skin care have discovered a refreshing secret that has given them solutions to the many ailments found in today’s world. By applying the organic ingredients, the skin receives the strength and treatment it needs to defend against many attacking and irritating conditions. With strengthened skin, you can be sure to feel a new youth and vigor that is noticeable to your peers.

What can be considered organic? If it isn’t straight from the plant that naturally produces the ingredient, it cannot be organic. Even the plant itself must be grown in an environment that has not been chemically influenced. This is to avoid the taint of human interference in the growth of the plant. Any organic ingredient cannot contain debilitating substances. Chemicals, petroleum and other by-products are some such substances. Organic ingredients are considered pure without human engineering involved in the growth of the plant.

Without the involvement of bioengineering or chemical influence, these ingredients are safe to apply to the skin. There is no harmful substance that will penetrate the skin, and you will notice the change. The recuperating process that the skin does so well will be enhanced to its greatest potential.

The consequences of using products that contain either bioengineered or even entirely synthetic ingredients can eventually be detrimental to the skin. Applications that ought to help improve your skin will eventually come to harm you after a period of time. The chemicals will enter the body and can alter your bodily systems. Using synthesized products may harm your body’s ability to fight illness or give adequate oxygen to all parts of the body.

Now if we track the process of acquiring the ingredients, we find that only the highest of quality is used in these products. From all parts of the world, diverse cultures have gradually joined in helping supply these materials. Since the focus is not mass production, each farmer and caretaker is graceful in its nurturing of the plants that will be used. It is for this reason that the ingredients are hard to come by at this point in time. Lack of cooperation from farming communities has made large production of organic substances impossible at this time.

While the organic market is growing rapidly, it maintains its standards of quality, and each product guarantees the satisfaction of its users. The use of organic care materials will continue to enhance your lifestyle, and give you another reason to smile.

Louise Forrest asked:

To understand organic skin care, you have to understand organic farming because all of the ingredients in organic skin care are organically produced. This means that each and every ingredient should be certified as organically grown, not just the majority of them.

It is a good idea to check companies that you are considering for your organic skin care products to make sure that they are selling certified products and that the products you purchase from them are certified.

There are companies out there which make false claims about being organic and those that sell some non organic products along with organic products. Through understanding organic farming, you will see that organic skin care is better for both you and the environment.

Basically, organic farming is a return to the way farming used to be done, utilizing a number of things to replenish soil nourishment including: crop rotation, composting, and cover crops. Climate hardy plants grown in well nourished soil have better insect and disease resistance than their non organic counterparts do.

Because of this resistance, the organic plants do not require fertilizers and pesticides in massive amounts. Even when help is needed, organic farmers protect their plants through a variety of ways that still do not utilize synthetic chemicals. Sadly, this does not mean that there are absolutely no pesticides in organic plants.

Because of the over use of pesticides, even our rain carries them, which means that organic plants are subjected to them through the rain.

Biodiversity is promoted by the organic farmers way of growing different crops and natural resource systems (like air and water) are protected because of the way that organic farmers store and compost the animal waste they use in replenishing soil nutrients.

The overall effect on the environment through organic farming can be seen through reduced greenhouse gases. On a local level, farmers see less water used, less soil erosion, improved fertility, safer groundwater, and more abundant wildlife.

Organic is all about the way that various agricultural products are grown (or raised) and processed. By farming organically, the health of the ecosystem is maintained. Toxins in fertilizers and pesticides are bypassed because these products are not used in organic farming.

The focus is on the environment: soil regeneration and water conservation being the two biggest issues and animal welfare playing a large part as well. During processing quality is retained because organic foods are not subjected to artificial ingredients, irradiation, or preservatives.

Aside from man made additives, pesticides, and fertilizers, organic food is also free of man made herbicides and GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Animals raised organically are not fed by products of other animals (rather, they eat organically grown foods) and they are free to roam and enjoy their existence (instead of being locked in cages).

In raising animals organically, a diet of certified organic food is used; this means that, in addition to the absence of the above mentioned synthetics, there are no hormones ingested by organically raised animals.

Prevention of disease is a by product of the animals healthy living, so antibiotics are also not passed on to us through ingestion. Through this well nourished, free to roam life, it has been found that animals raised for things like milk and eggs tend to live much longer than their non organic counterparts.

According to the United States National Organic Standards Board, Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.

For products to be certified organic, they must meet a set of strict standards within the industry. These standards are verified by a third party agency, sometimes the government. In order to be certified, both farms and processing plants must be checked and found to be in compliance with the standards that have been set. After initial certification, farms and facilities are still inspected regularly to verify that the organic standards are still being met.

Organic does not just refer to the actual plants and animals produced for human consumption. It applies to anything which is manufactured in such a way that it meets the certification standards.

This is why one moisturizer may be organic while another is not, even though both companies use the same ingredients. Organic farming has grown to the extent that you can find a huge variety of food (even processed foods), but it goes even further than food. You can buy organic clothing, organic bedding, linens, and other items.

Whether it is a tired eyes, wrinkles, insect bites or burns, there are times that things can happen to your skin. With the following organic skin care recipes and tips, you can treat various ailments naturally, leaving behind many of the man made pollutants that are absorbed into our bodies through most over the counter aids.

Insect Bites

Recipe #1: Mix 1 drop of organic almond essential oil and 2 tablespoons baking soda and 4 tablespoons of distilled water to form a paste. Apply to bite and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and pat dry

Recipe #2: Mix 8 ounces distilled water with 2 tablespoons Epsom Salt. Apply compress made of a wash cloth soaked this mixture.

Oily Skin/ Acne

Recipe #1: Make a mask of 1/4 organic apple (cored but unpeeled), 1 organic egg white, 1/2 organic lemon (peeled and deseeded), 30 organic Thompson seedless grapes, 4 tablespoons organic watercress (finely chopped). Blend all ingredients on medium for 3 minutes. Apply to face using cotton balls and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Recipe #2: Mix 1/4 cup organic yogurt (plain) with 1 tablespoon brewer’s yeast. The mixture should be runny; if not, add a bit more brewers yeast. Apply to oily zones and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Recipe #3: Mix 1/2 cup organic oat flour, juice from 1/2 organic orange, and 1 teaspoon organic honey. Apply to face and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Scrapes

Recipe #1: This remedy should be made in advance and kept for times when it is needed. First you will need to create 4 special oils. You will need organic extra virgin olive oil, three airtight, glass jars and 4 fresh organic herbs: calendula, plantain, red clover, and St. Johns Wort.

Let the herbs wilt for one day, then put each type in its own jar and cover the herbs with olive oil. Close the jars and leave in direct sunlight for two weeks. Strain oil to use. Once your oils are made, you will need 1/4 cup of each of your special oils and 1 cup organic beeswax.

Melt the oils and beeswax in a large, microwave safe bowl, pour into an airtight, glass jar and let cool. If the mixture is too runny after completely cooling, you need to add a bit more beeswax and melt again, if it is too thick, add a bit more oil and melt again. Apply to wounds when needed much like you would with ready made antibacterial ointments.

Recipe #2:Soak the area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it.

Splinters

Recipe #1: Soak the area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it. Because Epsom Salt draws toxins out of the skin and acts as an anti inflammatory, this bath will draw the splinter to the surface.

Recipe #2: Bandage a thin slice of organic potato over the splinter and let stay overnight. Potato draws things out of the skin and the splinter should be to the surface by morning.

Sunburn Relief

Recipe #1: Mix 5 organic cucumbers (pureed) and 2 1/2 cups powdered milk in a bowl. Pour mixture into tepid/warm bath and soak burned areas for 20 minutes. The mixture can be applied directly to the burned skin, if you prefer.

Recipe #2: Soak the burned area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a tepid/warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it.

Tired Eyes

Grate raw potato and wrap in cheesecloth. Apply to eyelids for 20 minutes, wiping the starchy residue away before applying makeup.

Wrinkles:

Recipe # 1: Cut organic Thompson seedless grapes in half and crush on wrinkles, especially near eyes and mouth. Leave the juice on your face for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water, repeat daily.

Recipe # 2: Mash a very ripe organic banana extremely well, apply to entire face and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
