Chemical-Free Skin Health

Chemical-Free Skin Health

This is a perspective on the chemical world we live in and why I believe all of us should be concerned for our lives, the lives of our families, friends and the animals that share our lives. It is not intended to scare you, although it might. It is really to draw attention to what our lives have become and the chemicals, companies and products that rule it. 

Our skin is our largest and most vulnerable organ. Love it and it will love you. Protect it and it will protect you. Abuse it and it will shorten your life. There have been more chemicals developed in the last twenty years than in all of mankind. 

Of the thousands of chemicals in use in the cosmetic, personal care and household products industry, less than 1% have been tested for safety.

Hyperpigmentation aka "brown spots": the new wrinkle

According to Elle magazine, September 2012, in the United States, we are very devoted to moisturizers and collagen-boosting serums, but our demand for brown spot lightening is steadily rising, especially since publication of a 2006 study, indicating that hyperpigmentation can impact on a woman’s perceived age by up to twenty years.

The Japanese spend a huge percentage of their beauty dollars on targeting “shimi.” Here we call them “spots” and they can apply to any skin discoloration, including freckles, UV-induced brown patches, melasma and those pinpoint spots that remain after a pimple has healed.

Is This the Best Maxipad Commercial Ever? Bodyform Ad Takes Periods, Men and Own Brand to Task

By Piper Weiss, Shine Staff

Love Your Body – Wed, Oct 17, 2012 4:30 PM EDT

Ad campaigns for maxi-pads and tampons tend to look like commercials for exotic resorts, replete with beachside strolls, yoga at sunset, and well-absorbed blue dye the color of a crystalline sea. With that Zenlike imagery on the one hand, and on the other the misguided stereotype of the crazy PMSing woman, it must be awfully confusing for men--or at least it was for one Richard Neill, whose amusing tongue-in-cheek comment about period confusion posted to the Facebook page of Bodyform, a British brand of maxipads, has now inspired a national campaign.

Rejuvenated Skin through Marine Biotechnology

The latest discovery of Lipotec in the field of biotechnology-derived ingredients, Hyanify™, illustrates in this seminar the increasing advantages in the use of advanced technology in skin care anti-aging cosmetics, which innovate while offering efficient results.

Thanks to its natural hyaluronic acid boosting capacity, Hyanify™ is an expolysaccharide which can be seen as an ideal ally in the fight against time by the way that it reduces wrinkles safely and efficiently: nasogenian folds reduced significantly in only 14 days of treatment as shown in vivo.
