Want to Reduce the
Amount of Chemicals in Your Body Care Without Sacrificing Results?
Me too! As a dermatologist and skin care
obsessed entrepreneur, I’m on a mission to blend products with pharmaceutical
grade actives + products with natural and organic ingredients. These
ingredients often can’t live in the same bottle for stability reasons.
The process of skin care chemistry is more
complicated than you would imagine. And, we don’t really want to keep our skin
care in the fridge to keep actives from going off! So, I’m going to write a
series of posts on how to add natural products to your skin care routine
without sacrificing results. Here is the first:
Your skin is your body’s biggest organ. For
the most part, the barrier protection of your skin cells is darn good, but it
does absorb some of what you apply, including chemicals. If your skin was
not a good barrier, then all your body’s water would ooze out and every
toxin/chemical you touch would burn your skin, cause a rash, or build up to
massive levels in your body. Nature is amazing! It wraps us in good
barrier to keep us well.
That said, daily slathering of soaps and
moisturizers filled with chemicals is relevant, because a little of those
chemicals do get in. Exposure to phthalates, (artificial fragrances that are
notorious hormone disruptors), preservatives, and other chemicals added to skin
care should be judiciously minimized. I recommend washing and moisturizing our
body’s skin with natural products on a daily basis. Then, treat problems like
back acne or barnacles strategically with products made with pharmaceutical
actives, that by necessity are stabilized with modern preservative systems.
Here’s how!
Cleanse your skin daily using a natural skin
cleanser. My favorite options are:
All these products are made with organic
ingredients by the time-honored and old-fashioned soap making process called
saponification. They lather beautifully and cleanse skin without chemicals or
artificial fragrances. The gels are certified organic to USDA standards. All
these products are economical, so stock every shower and bath in your home with
them. Choose from a soap or gel based on your preference.
Correct roughness and flaking by
exfoliating in the shower to smooth and buff your skin by scrubbing with soap
or gel + a Salux Cloth, instead of fragrance-laden body scrubs.
Hydrate your skin every day after the bath or
shower to keep it healthy, attractive, and youthful. Apply natural lotions
or creams within 3 minutes after toweling off. Moisturize arms and legs after
every shower. They are highly prone to dryness, flaking, and crinkly skin.
Avoid chemicals by using either my:
Both products are made
with organic ingredients.
Correct body skin problems strategically.
1. Back and Chest Acne: wash your back and
chest using the pharmaceutical-grade medicated products in my Back Acne Kit
2. Back
or Chest Dandruff: Wash your back and chest with my Foaming Zinc Cleanser
3. Barnacles and age
spots: use one of my AHA Body Kits two to three times a week alternating with the
natural cleanser and lotion
4.
Ultra-Fast Body Smoothing AHA Kit: fast absorbing lotion for those who don’t
like heavy lotion feel or who live in humid climates
5.
AHA Body Kit: Glytone products which have a rich texture for those who like a
heaver product feel on their skin and/or who live in very dry climates
It’s
my goal to bring you professional dermatologist-level results + natural
skin care options. I weigh the pros and cons for you; And I know where we need
pharmaceutical actives and advanced skin care science – and where we don’t.
Stay tuned as I teach you how to blend the best that science and nature has to
offer for your skin care needs
