Cin's Skin Secrets!

Cin's Skin Secrets
Owner of Utopia MedSpa, Uptown Park
 
            Moisturizing your skin daily is a myth created by hungry retailers.  If you live in a humid climate, such as Houston, you should exfoliate your skin three times a week, and only moisturize the dry patches. That way your own beautiful moisture can shine through pores that can breathe.  This gives your skin a radiant glow.  Rather than use a highly marketed product found in a department or drug store, you should opt for the "natural, organic" ones.  These would be food-grade without chemicals or preservatives. I moisturize my skin with sweet almond oil, coconut oil, flax-seed, or grape-seed oil. I make sure my products have certified organic seals on them.
  I touch the dry areas such as the sides of my nose, my hands, the top of my eye-brows with a natural oil.  I exfoliate my skin three times a week in the shower with gentle circles from a natural bristle brush, or a mixture of 3 tbsp. of ground oatmeal with a tsp. of fresh grapefruit juice.  Rarely a day does not pass, when someone does not compliment my skin.  I tone it with a mixture of 8 parts spring water, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp. Bragg's apple cider vinegar.  It is also a good idea to avoid synthetic colors and fragrances added to products, these can be carcinogenic and lead to dizziness.
 Here are 5 synthetic cosmetic ingredients to avoid on hair and epidermal products.They are as follows:
1. Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Paraben-- these can be toxic and contribute to skin cancer as well as rashes.
2. Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA).  These chemicals release formaldehyde.
3. Sodium Lauryl and Laureath Sulfate -- this is an inexpensive detergent that causes allergic reactions
4. Petrolatum-- it surface dries your skin and clogs the pores-- it is found in Johnson's Baby oil and Vaseline.
5. PVP/VA Copolymer-a petroleum-derived chemical used in hairsprays, inhaled particles can damage the lungs.
    We all need to do our part to have a safe, healthy body, mind, spirit, and environment.
