The Real Truth About Holistic Skincare
100% Pure Skincare – The Real Truth About Holistic Skincare
With the greening of our nation comes the desire for a 100% pure skincare or an holistic skincare approach to better looking more youthful skin. I don’t think many people will disagree that when it comes to skincare an all natural holistic skincare system.
It surprises many people that there is not really such a thing as a skincare product that is totally natural, despite what advertisers may say. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In a moment you’ll discover why. It’s virtually impossible for 100% of all ingredients in a skincare product to be totally unprocessed.
Many people don’t know that ingredients coming from plants are actually more effective if some kind of natural processing is done.
This is the exact reason herbal supplements get better results than the plants they were made from. Only the active ingredients are extracted from the plant which makes the supplement more efficient and better performing.
Because 100% pure skincare in the strictest sense doesn’t really exist don’t rush out and buy the cheapest chemical filled skincare product you can find. Many skincare products contain only small amounts of beneficial ingredients and are filled with potentially harmful chemicals such as parabens, fragrances, alcohol, and mineral oil to name a few. Some of these ingredients have been linked to cancer. Companies use these chemicals to preserve their products allowing them to last longer in the stores they are sold at.
Buying holistic skincare items is really the smart thing to do if you want the best and safest results. However, there are certain beneficial ingredients you want to look for.
Be on the look out for the following natural and naturally processed ingredients:
Cynergy TK – This is a natural holistic skincare ingredient containing functional keratin that comes from the wool of sheep living in New Zealand. Cynergy TK has been described as a liquid skin that rejuvenates skin, and hides wrinkles at the same time until they are completely eliminated.
Active Manuka Honey – This special honey comes from the manuka bush of New Zealand. It is filled with special enzymes proven scientifically to heal your skin.
Phytessence Wakame – Until recently a Japanese skincare secret that is made from a natural sea kelp in Japan. It is known for its ability to make skin soft and young looking.
Babassu – This is a nut oil and comes from the solitary stemmed palm that originates from Brazil. It is also known as the “tree of life” It is rapidly absorbed into the skin and has been used for hundreds of years to soothe a person’s skin.
Other natural ingredients to look for are natural Vitamin E, macadamia and avocado oils.
Now that you know that there is no such thing as 100% pure skincare, don’t fall for all the advertising hype. Look for companies that have a holistic skincare approach. One such company is located in New Zealand. This small company has a natural holistic philosophy when making their products and they use the ingredients mentioned above.
