Few of us can get by without some kind of skin care products in our stash of items to keep our skin healthy and hydrated. Most of us suffer from dry skin during some part of the year and use skin creams to keep our hands, elbows, and knees from getting overly dry. There are some wonderful products on the market that can do more than just hydrate our skin. Some of them actually feed the skin the nutrients it needs. The researchers are finding that putting skin care products on your skin that contain vitamins actually helps your skin a great deal. A good diet is essential to having healthy skin, but it is also important to feed your skin from the outside in. Good foods to put on your skin on a temporary basis are avocados and citrus, and eating salmon or other fish high in essential fatty acids is also a great way to improve your skin. Healthy eating is also essential for all the other organs in the body. It is worth your while to spend money on good food and skin care products that supply nutrition to your skin. If budget is an issue, make entertainment sacrifices to put the extra money into looking good. ]]> NatureGirl tag:wordpressors.com,2012:sm-9223372036854702192 2009-04-24T10:37:30-07:00 2009-04-24T10:37:30-07:00

I've had high blood pressure since I was about 19 years old.  I've struggled to keep it under control by taking pills, but I really don't like to take pills so I was looking for other avenues to take.

Recently I had been doing some surfing on the net, and I read something about aromatherapy oil being very helpful in dealing with stress.  I know that aromatherapy oil has been used in the Asian countries for a long time, but it's taken some time for it to become accepted by Americans as therapeutic. 

I decided to give some aromatherapy oil a try!  I purchased some lavender aromatherapy oil and a cute little brown oriental aromatherapy oil dispenser.  All you need is a little tea light candle to heat the aromatherapy oil that you put in the dish that is directly above this little bowl; the aromatherapy oil begins to heat up and gives off a wonderful soothing scent!

I have noticed that when I use my aromatherapy oil my blood pressure begins to come down.  I'm sure it has something to do with the way the lavender helps me to relax; it's such a calming fragrance.  I will continue to use the aromatherapy oil to help keep my stress levels down and as a result I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to reduce or even quit taking my blood pressure medicine; with the help of my physician, of course.

They are essential to keeping the skin soft and hydrated. When choosing skin care products, it's important to look for skin creams that do not have ingredients in them that may cause you health issues down the road. Skin creams are absorbed by the skin and those with additives that are not good for ingestion should not be used on the skin. Unlike taking a shower where the soap is washed off quickly, skin creams sit on the skin all day and are taken in by the body. The best skin care products are made from organic materials and use natural vitamins in them to nourish the skin.

If you are watching your budget, cut back on the expensive soaps and shampoos and put the savings into quality skin creams. The same applies for the skin creams you use on your children or babies. They have a whole lifetime ahead of them, so starting them off with healthy skin creams will help them avoid toxins or products that are not good for their bodies. ]]> NatureGirl tag:wordpressors.com,2012:sm-9223372036854702309 2009-04-22T17:02:39-07:00 2009-04-22T17:02:39-07:00 Curtis Hiner
