Skin Care Natural Products for Your Health, Beauty and Safety



Skin care natural products

The importance of skin care natural products for our face and body is hard to over emphasize. The skin on which we place our skin care products is highly absorbent and so it soaks in the skin care products ingredients, both good and bad and they make their way into the bloodstream. That's an important fact to consider when we purchase our cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers.

There are over 7000 ingredients manufacturers can use in skin care products, with 1000 known to be harmful and over 900 know to cause cancer.

Each skin care product contains an average of 20 ingredients, and every time you use it, you are putting on at least 20 potential allergens on your skin, preventing or reversing the benefit of the product.

According to Dr.. Getz, of Dundee Dermatology in Dundee Illiniois, “Most skin care products on the market today are not what they promise [they are] not good for you.”*

Furthermore, medical research shows that significant amounts of cosmetic ingredients, including carcinogenic substances, penetrate the skin and end up in the blood stream. Many chemicals in cosmetics don't cause obvious signs of toxicity on the skin but slowly poison us thorough repeated use.

One study, conducted by the University of California, revealed that more than 58,000 hairdressers, manicurists and cosmetologists developed cancer at four times the rate of the general population.

The reason is obvious. Our skin, the largest eliminatory organ in the body and our first line of immunity, is permeable to all chemicals. Medical research shows that significant amounts of cosmetic ingredients, including carcinogenic substances, penetrate the skin and end up in the blood stream.

Take medicine for an example. The administration of drugs and medicines is often through transdermal skin patches. This has been shown to be up to 95% more effective than oral medication. However, cosmetic manufacturers are not supposed to claim that the skin absorbs their products. If they did the products would be labeled a drug and governed by much stricter regulations. *

There are numerous chemicals that you should try avoid whenever possible. You'll find a list here.

That's why it is so important to choose only skin care natural products to help ensure a healthy, supple, hydrated skin that makes you look and feel radiant.

The one product I have come to know and trust is GLIMPSE. Their creamy cleanser for dry skin has over 50 natural botanical derivatives, the gel cleanser for oily skin has over 40 natural botanical derivatives, the toner has over has over 30 such natural botanical derivatives, the serum has over 20 natural botanical derivatives, the moisturizing cream for dry skin has over 60 natural botanical derivatives, the moisturizing lotion has over 45 natural botanical derivatives. You can see a detailed skin care products ingredients list here.

So if you are considering using skin care natural products I recommend without any hesitation GLIMPSE. The healing properties of the mangosteen and the powerful anti oxidants of the xanthones help restore the face to a healthy more youthful, radiant glow without absorbing any harmful substances found in most other facial treatments.

Eye Skin Care to Reveal Your Inner Beauty


Eye Skin Care

One of the most important areas to pay attention to is the skin under and around the eyes. The eyes have the power to attract or repel someone. A magnetic eye can open doors to success in relationships or business more than almost anything else. Therefore it is essential that the eyes get proper attention and care.

The skin under the eyes is thinner than elsewhere so it is subject to eye wrinkles or puffiness so it needs special attention. Here's a few things that will help make your skin look hydrated, soft and supple.

Use a Natural Cleanser

Always use a natural cleanser to remove eye make. Once again be sure to avoid the ones that have chemicals in their ingredients because they have the potential, over time, to harm the skin. Here's a list of chemicals to avoid.

Choose cleansers that use natural products that help heal and restore the skin to a more youthful, radiant glow. GLIMPSE provides a skin care products ingredients list that helps you make an informed selection.

The cleanser prepares the way for your face to receive other healing moisturizes that will help restore your face to a youthful beauty.

Use a Natural Toner

For eye skin care that helps restore your natural beauty use a good quality natural skin toner. It re energizes and refreshes the skin especially under and around the eyes while restoring PH and primes the skin to receive the refreshing feel of the serum and moisturizer or gel.

Use a Natural Skin Serum

A natural serum made with the healing properties of vitamin rich botanicals heals and soothes the skin and reduces puffiness and swelling. The serum by GLIMPSE uses over 20 botanical derivatives to produce a cooling, soothing feeling on the face as the skin absorbs its healing properties. For a list of these ingredients click on skin care products ingredients and scroll down to list number 4 to see the array of healthy giving nutrients your skin absorbs with this serum.

Use a Natural Moisturizing Cream

One of the best ways to prevent or eliminate fine lines under the eyes is to use a moisturizing gel or cream, depending on your skin type – cream for dry skin, gel for oily skin. Use it first thing in the morning again at before going to bed at night. The natural consequences of aging causes our skin to lose some of its elasticity and the soft radiant look we once enjoyed. A good moisturizer helps restore that fresh hydrated look.

However, not all moisturizers are created equal. Use only ones that avoid chemicals in their preparations. Here's a list of chemicals to avoid. Unfortunately that can be difficult to do because they are so commonly used.

Choose moisturizers that use natural products that help heal and restore the skin to a more youthful, radiant glow. GLIMPSE provides a skin care products ingredients list that helps you make an informed selection.

Skin Care Products Ingredients List for Anti Aging Care


Skin Care Products Ingredients for Anti Aging Care

One of the most important things to consider when buying skin care products is the ingredients list. Many popular brands use products which have shown to have cancer producing properties as well as skin drying or damaging effects. For a list of the top 12 harmful ingredients and the ones you should avoid click on “The Dirty Dozen Chemicals in Cosmetics.”

GLIMPSE is a botanically based skin care product that lists all of its ingredients and none the dirty dozen or other chemicals are in it. This is a very important consider because the skin is biggest organ and it absorbs what we put onto it. The delicate skin cells are quite permeable and any lotions, creams, liquids, gases, etc can make their way into the bloodstream with ease. The nicotine or hormone patch are but two examples of how easy substances can flow into our bloodstream and affect our health.

I have come to appreciate the passionate commitment the makers of
GLIMPSE have to put only healing botanical properties into their skin care products. And they provide a detailed list of ingredients so you can be sure you are putting only healthy creams and lotions on your face. These anti aging beauty products revitalize and restore damaged and aging skin to a soft, hydrated, radiant glow like we all would like to have.

GLIMPSE has six products that produce a soft, hydrated, radiant skin using the soothing properties of botanicals. There is a Creamy Cleanser, Gel Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Moisturizing Cream and Moisturizing Lotion.

The Best Anti Aging Face Products Use Botanicals


You want the world to see the beauty of your inner self, right? It all begins with creating a clearer, smoother, more youthful looking face. There are many anti aging face products on the market today but they are not all created equal.

A good skin care product will remove facial wrinkles, tighten, hydrate, soften and smooth your face for a radiant beauty.

So the most important thing is to use anti aging face products that do not harm the skin. Here's a list of the 12 most common ingredients in anti aging care products you want to avoid. Unfortunately, that can be difficult to do because they are so commonly used.

GLIMPSE is an anti aging face product that does not use any of these harmful ingredients. Instead it has a combination of botanicals that help create a smooth, hydrated, beautifully radiant facial skin.

The mangosteen, one of the key botanicals in GLIMPSE, contains highly concentrated doses of antioxidants, known as xanthones that have been shown to be 30 times more powerful than those found in green tea. This helps reduce inflammation under the eyes and produces a healthier radiant skin.

When my wife tried GLIMPSE she was immediately impressed with the smooth, comfortable feel of the products. She had been using a variety of brand names for years but has found GLIMPSE goes further, saving her money, and it has removed many a fine facial wrinkle. I have seen a difference as she's given herself a skin facial with GLIMPSE and I love what I see!

Anti Aging Products Create More Beauty With Good Posture and Sex 3 Times a Week!

Anti Aging Products Begin With Good Posture and Good Sex!

Tips for Anti Aging Products You Can Do On Your Own:

You'd like the world to see the beautiful person you are on the inside, right? There's a few simple things you can do to reveal that person to the world and start your own anti aging campaign.

1. Sit Up and Walk Straight – Watch Your Posture

If you're like most people you pay attention to your diet and exercise but forget the importance of posture. Unlike exercise, where the results take a while to be seen, good posture makes you look and feel younger almost immediately.

Here's a simple way to align your spine for good posture. Align you earlobe over the middle of your shoulders and over your hip joint and over a spot about one inch in front of the ankle joint. Imagine a line running through those points and then align your body accordingly. This alignment will help you keep your shoulders back and down, the chin and chest slightly up and waist tucked in. Try it right now. You'll feel the difference immediately.


2. Brighten Your Smile

Our tooth enamel wears over time which darkens our teeth. A dull looking smile is connected with age so a simple anti aging product is a good tooth whitener. To brighten your smile you might want to try some over the counter whiteners or check with your dentist about bleaching options.


3. Have Sex 3 Times Per Week

A 10 year Scottish study concluded that couples 40 and over who sex that often looked up to 12 years younger, their faces were less lined and wrinkled and their skin was smoother and more supple. These and many other health benefits of sex were linked to oxytocin, a stress releasing endorphin, which is released at orgasm. It also helps you sleep better so you look and feel younger.

4. Take Care of Your Skin

A radiant skin is a beautiful thing so it's important to take care of it. Exposure to the sun, chemicals in the air, cleaning and skin care products have an aging effect on our skin. A good quality anti aging product adjusts to your individual skin's needs. Skin types vary from to dry to oily and you want it to suit your skin type.
