Natural Skin Treatment
Posted by admin on Sep 8, 2009
Hey there and welcome to Natural Skin Treatment.
There’s a plethora of products out there for your face and body. All of them say they’ll be great for your skin -but that may not be the case.
Here at NST, we find the best natural stuff (some from mother nature, others from over the counter) that is good for you – inside and out.
Our first suggestion for a great natural skin treatment - A dry brush exfoliation. And no, its not painful. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from your body, revealing
the more healthy skin underneath. Best of all – it helps to get rid of cellulite!
Think of it like polishing your coffee table. As wiping the dust away reveals the beautiful wood underneath ( assuming you have a wood coffee table) a dry brush exfoliation can polish your skin. A good invigorating skin brushing has some additional benefits. It stimulates lymph and blood circulation, which can help with getting rid of puffiness. Brushing can have a calming affect on the nervous system and helps with digestion. It can help to tighten skin and remove cellulite. Brushing encourages cell renewal (which give you a fresh, bright appearance). Overall it can help many of your body systems work even better.
Before you shower, take a soft bristled skin brush. Make sure the fibers are natural and not synthetic. Its important not to scratch the skin. Also a long handled brush makes it easy to reach certain parts of your body. Always brush towards your heart and in a small circular motion. Start with the soles of your feet and work up. At your abdomen stroke counter clockwise. Brush from your back to your abdomen. End going down the arm to the hands. Be careful to avoid any delicate or sensitive areas. Brush vigorously but again be gentle. You can brush over your body more than once. Follow with a warm shower with a cool rinse of water at the end. The splash of cold gets your circulation stimulated.
The only trick if finding the time to do a good skin brushing. Some experts advocate doing it daily. Others say a couple times a day. As a general rule of thumb add skin brushing to you natural skin care treatment at least once a week.

Using skin care Products with retinol (vitamin e)?
Posted by admin on Nov 14, 2009
Is using skin care products with retinol safe for some one in their Early 20′s. I just purchased some skin care products that are carrot and fruit based and I was wondering if it was safe t use since it’s mostly geared to reducing wrinkles and uneven skin-tone.
below is a link to the skin care line I purchased the cleanser, moisturizer and eye gel.

I MEANT VITAMEN A
Retinol is Vitamin A and Vitamin E is Alpa tocopherol.better yet use some food supplement with high content of vit.E like for example myra 400e.
My skin is so confusing?
Posted by admin on Nov 14, 2009
I have very serious acne on cheeks, chin, jaw area, forehead… basically my whole face. Whenever I use salicylic/acne products, my face (especially nose and mouth ares) get dry and discolored like leather. I go through a pattern- i use acne products fo about 3 weeks then stop because skin so dry. takes about 2 weeks of intense aloe vera care for skin to return to normal but then acne returns and I do this over and over again. What do I do???????? so frustrated. I went to dermatologist but I just got pimple cream and pills for $200 dollars and that didn’t work.
I am a vegan health nut so acne can’t be coming from what i eat. i also drink lots of water
Acne doesn’t come from what you eat however a persons diet can worsen acne if already afflicted. If it is serious cystic acne your dermatologist may recommend you try Accutane. It has some pretty serious side effects, but it works a majority of the time and usually only takes one prescription worth. If it isn’t that serious they may put you on antibiotics such as minocycline, doxcycline, co-trimoxazole(Bactrim). I am assuming you’re on one of the previously mentioned.
There is no universal drug for treating acne, different medicines work for different people. Most dermatologists will regularly change prescriptions until they find a drug that works. If all else fails they may resort to accutane.
Unfortunately dry skin is a side effect of pretty much any drug. To counter that you can purchase lotions at any drug store that are geared towards acne and dry skin.
If you feel your dermatologist isn’t doing enough to help you I suggest you find another.
On a final note do not take any prescriptions that are not prescribed. Also be careful about the medical advice you get on yahoo, don’t ever take drugs suggested to you by Yahoo people, unless it is confirmed and prescribed by a doctor.
Good Luck
Is the brand Organic Wear a good organic make up brand?
Posted by admin on Nov 14, 2009
I came across this site http://www.organicwearmakeup.com while searching for organic make up products. I’ve never used organic make up before because I don’t know if it has better coverage than the other known make up brands (ie Mac, L’oreal, Cover girl, etc). I heard about minerals make up from a friend and I thought I could start using that too. Although Im not sure if they really are good for the skin and the environment as they claim to be. What do you guys think?
organic makeup is gentler on the skin, and better for the environment. Or at least they are a lot better than comon drugstore makeup products.
however, there are some types of makeup that are easily made organic, and others that aren’t as good. Powders like powdered blushes, bronzers, and foundation work well. I didn’t think the mascaras would be that good, but I bought a tube of the loreal bare naturale mascara and I love it, it has the same effect while making my eyelashes soft.
but things like cream concealers and eyeshadows aren’t a great choice for organic products, they don’t blend as well and can get cakey.

It looks like it could be beneficial but I think you are missing out on some natural ingredient skin care products. My wife said to give you the article below that may be of help. It has some nice home remedy ingredients and the website that you probably should check out. I, being a man, get my natural skin care products from the same place my wife does. They really work because the ingredients are safe and natural. Anyway they can tell you much more than I can.
4 Home Remedy Ingredients for Wrinkle Smoothing
A home remedy for wrinkles is found in practically every culture in the world . What if you could find a homemade wrinkle smoother that combined the effective components of all of these remedies? Yes, you can. Just keep reading to find all 4 ingredients and how they are combined to smooth out your wrinkles.
There’s a simple reason that a different group of people would have a different home remedy for wrinkles. They used the things that grew near their homes. They didn’t have access to the entire world, as we do today.
If you lived in Japan, you couldn’t use a homemade wrinkle smoother that contained jojoba, because it only grows in the Americas. If you lived in the Americas, your home remedy for wrinkles would not contain Wakame Kelp, because it mostly grows in the Sea of Japan. You get the point.
Through scientific evaluation and clinical studies, researchers have found the active components in numerous traditional wrinkle remedies. They have combined these effective components and studied their effects on the faces of volunteers. Here’s what they’ve learned.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a favorite homemade wrinkle smoother in Mediterranean areas. Scientific evaluation has shown that the oil is very similar to Human sebum, the skin’s natural oil. If you use olive oil designed for cooking, you may get a greasy, rather than a smooth filling. Properly formulated creams will penetrate deeply, hydrating, without causing greasiness.
Manuka Honey
Honey is a popular homemade wrinkle smoother in most areas of the world. Wherever you find bees you find honey. Over the years, honey has been used to treat everything from sore throat to skin injuries and infections.
Recent research has shown that enzymes in honey have antioxidant and antibacterial activity. It’s the antioxidant activity that allows it to reduce wrinkling and fine lines. Antioxidants repair free radical damage, the cause of wrinkling, sagging and a generally older looking appearance.
Researchers have found that manuka honey, from New Zealand, is the most active variety. Now, you can even find manuka honey bars, a natural alternative to antibacterial soaps.
Wakame Kelp
That’s the Japanese home remedy for wrinkles that I mentioned earlier. Evaluation of the kelp has shown that it is rich in the nutrients that support the skin’s health; vitamin A, many of the B vitamins and calcium for example. Further studies have shown that creams containing the kelp extract work to increase levels of hyaluronic acid, an amino acid responsible for the skin’s firmness.
Jojoba Oil
Traditional, it was used by Native Americans to heal wounds and fade scars. Eventually, it was used as a homemade wrinkle smoother, because wrinkles and scar tissue are similar. What works to fade a scar or a stretch mark, will also fade a fine line or wrinkle. The oil is rich in vitamin E, an important antioxidant for the skin’s health.
You could choose just one home remedy for wrinkles, but why not use them all. There are many other effective remedies and when combined, they become even more effective. They are also quite safe and completely natural. And now for more information on wrinkles please see the website listed below.

Is there any natural treatments for smooth skin?
Posted by admin on Nov 4, 2009
ya know natural stuff… like something in the kitchen that you never knew about that can help your skin alot?
jw
Honestly, this is going to sound really weird, but oatmeal is a natural source to get super smooth skin. Try it tonight, make a bowl of plain oatmeal, put it on you face for about 5-8 minutes. It gives you the smoothest softest skin ever!
I do this once a week to keep my skin silky smooth. Cleanse your face with warm water and rub the oatmeal on, lay down and read a magazine for a few minutes. You’ll be able to tell a difference right away.
Help with finding skin care that doesn’t make me break out!?
Posted by admin on Oct 20, 2009
Since high school I have used a lot of different skin care products, usually the higher end like estee lauder, clinique, merle norman etc. I never could use grocery/drug store type because I would breakout.
I use something for a few months with great success, and then all of a sudden it stops working. Or, I immediately break out or get dry skin.
I have very sensitive skin, especially to vitamin C, so a lot of anti aging products bother me. I started using Neutrogena products a few months ago and I thought I had found the answer, but now my skin is becoming flaky and has slight red bumps, but not acne.
My question is, where can I go to find the right skin care? I’m tired of trying samples at counters and buying products only to return them. Does anyone have a skin issue and have found a solution, or should I just head to the dermatologist? I’ve tried natural products and they don’t seem to help either.
What can I do?
I can totally relate to you.. I never had the big breakouts like most people had, just lots of redness and tiny bumps all the time. Finding the right combination of products was like a giant chemistry experiment, but I finally have it down.
I stopped washing twice a day because I was overstimulating my skin and I think the products were drying it out. I started using Proactiv, but only at night. It took a few weeks to really show results, but I’ve maintained perfect skin for the last 3 1/2 years. A first for me since the 5th grade! Also, their sulfur mask is like a miracle. I use it a couple times a week when I get breakouts. To remove make-up I use a really gentle remover wipe by the brand Comodynes (I get them at Trader Joe’s). I’ve tried a few different types of wipes, but these seem to work best and don’t sting. I even use them on my eyes. For a moisturizer, I use Aveeno’s skin calming moisturizer. It’s really light, not greasy at all, and has helped get rid of "red face". It’s the only moisturizer I’ve ever been able to use. For make-up, Bare Escentuals can’t be beat – no clogging, nice coverage, and I think it’s actually helped improve the texture of my skin. It’s also super quick and easy to apply.
I hope this helps you. You may still want to consult with a dermatologist because if you do have a skin condition, it may just keep getting irritated by any product you try until you get the condition cleared up. It’ll be worth it though- best of luck to you!
