Common Skin Care Blunders to Avoid!

You wear sunscreen every day, don’t smoke, and spare no expense on skin creams and potions. But despite your best intentions, you may still be making errors that can lead to premature aging. Here are some common skincare blunders to avoid.

1. Over Exfoliating

People with dry skin often think exfoliating can help by sloughing away dry flakes and dead skin cells. Yet, over exfoliation can make dry skin worse by impairing your skin’s ability to hold onto water, and can also ruin your natural moisture barrier, which leads to dull, lifeless and older looking skin. Again, this is why it is so important to know your own skin. Just by paying attention to your skin you will know when and how often you should exfoliate. We have a short video coming out soon where we talk about exfoliation and the importance of exfoliation. Hopefully this will be out in a few weeks.

2. Using the Same Moisturizer Year-Round

Some skin types are oily in the summer and dry in the winter. This is because there is less moisture in the air during the winter season and skin can easily become dehydrated. If you have oily skin, don’t assume you should use an oil-free moisturizer all year around–or that you can go without any moisturizer at all. In fact, because of your skin care regimen you could be causing your skin to produce more oil. Using harsh chemicals and drying products will actually accent the problem. Again, knowing your skin and what products would be best for your skin type is of utmost importance. If you have mature skin, using an oil cleanser, and an anti-aging serum or an all natural moisturizer on your skin will definitely improve your skin all the way around. One other tidbit, it is vital to change up our moisturizers and skin care regimens.

3. Using a Harsh Cleanser

People love the tight, tingly feeling they get after using foaming cleansers and bar soaps, but that feeling just means your natural lipids have been stripped away, leaving your complexion parched, dry and more prone to premature wrinkling. If you are using any cleansers with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate I would ditch them as soon as possible. This ingredient is extremely harsh on the skin and is a very aggressive detergent. Instead use our Organic Cleansing Oil for the Oil Cleansing Method, OCM,  this one step will make the world of difference in your skin. Pores will be reduced, wrinkles will soften and diminish and your skin will become more youthful and refined. We also offer a gel with 8% hydroxy’s, which will gently cleanse your skin, but will not strip it of it’s vital nutrients and natural moisture barrier.  Honestly, look at your cleanser, you may be shocked at what your putting on your skin. Changing your cleanser is the first step toward younger, beautiful skin.

Until next time,

HI Ladies,

I hope your all having an amazing week. Enjoy special savings on your favorite products today! Look for the coupon code at the end of this newsletter.

We are going to try and have testimonies on a regular basis. If you have a testimony on any of the skincare or mineral makeup products, please share.  People love to hear what others are experiencing. Here is a skin care testimony from a 70 something young lady.

I have been using some of  the Natures Genesis Products for about a month now. There is already a noticeable change in my skin – it is much softer and younger-looking. I am using the oil cleanser at night followed by an application of the Reparative Anti-Aging Cream Therapy. In the morning, I clean my face with the Herbal Infused Cleansing Gel, followed by an application of the Reparative Anti-Aging Serum, and the eye cream.

I am so impressed with the way these products feel and with the effects on my skin, that I will be now be purchasing the  Herbal Infused Facial Tonique (it is highly recommended by a friend of mine) followed by the Restorative Skin Therapy as a daytime moisturizer.

I have also tried samples of the Organic Botanical Mineral Foundation, and found the finish so much more satisfactory than the other very expensive mineral foundation I have been using. So, I will also be changing over to this foundation.

I am also happy to say that the prices are very competitive, I definitely get more for my money – a little of the product (whichever one) goes a long way!!

The All Natural Beauty Enthusiast!

Sorry this has taken so long to get back with you. Things have been crazy, busy around here like they are with most of us, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet.

As far as the new eye cream goes, we’re not going to be carrying this product. It is not preforming to our standards that we have here at Nature’s Genesis. The eye treatment  seems to accent the wrinkles and dry out the eye area drastically. Since this is the case, we will not be offering this to our customers. Sorry, we  were really hoping it would work.

__________________________________________________________________________

We will be updating our website in the next month so keep your eye’s open. If you have any suggestions, or would like to see other features offered on our website, please email us and let us know.

Also, those of us who cleanse with the Oil Cleansing Method, will love the oils that they offer. I can’t devulge to much information at this time, so I’m just going to tantalize you a little bit.

Looking for a way to tone and smooth your skin?

Looking for a way to tone and smooth your skin? Is your skin dull and lifeless? Do you live in a large city? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you’re a candidate for our Reparative Anti-Aging Treatment Mask! Kaolin Clay gently withdraws excess oil and pollutants from our faces. Even if it’s extremely cold where you live and your skin is chapped and dry, a soothing clay mask will be extremely beneficial.

This clay treatment will gently draw impurities from the skin without removing natural oils while simultaneously exfoliating, cleansing, and stimulating circulation.  White clay is suitable for all skin types, whether it be oily, blemish prone, normal, sensitive, dry, or mature skin. The high mineral content of clay rejuvenates the skin while exfoliating and stimulating blood circulation to the skin. Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow.

After using this treatment mask it is important to hydrate your skin. Applying our Organic Beauty Exlixer will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and kissable.

This treatment mask will transform the look and feel of your skin with these powerful, nourishing antioxidants, vitamins, extracts and proteins. Your skin will appear brighter, younger, more refined and feel instantly firmer and at the same time reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dull skin and discoloration.

As we grow older we tend to have drier more mature skin, and my mother who is 68 years old loves this mask. It doesn’t dry her skin out at all. That should tell us something.

I hope you ladies are having a wonderful New Year. It’s only just begun.

Until Next Time,

New Eye Product Coming Soon!

HI Ladies,

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve been reviewing an amazing eye product. The reviews on this product have been quite amazing from other sources, but we’re still in the process of testing this out for ourselves. This eye product tightens,  firms, corrects, etc…….I believe it will also last close to a year, so price wise you can’t beat it.

We here at Nature’s Genesis plan on testing the product for a month at least. We’ll let you know at that time if we will carry it or not. I’m really hoping it will work. I have my figures crossed:) So far so good!

We also have some other exciting things in the works. You ladies will love them. I’m completely sold on these wrinkle reducing finds. Wow, is all I can say.  I can’t let the cat out of the bag yet, sorry!

In another month I’m hoping to have these on our website.

This has been short, but sweet.

Have a Merry Christmas,

Tracy

Firm and Tighten Your Skin!

Last week we started our series of articles on our Reparative Collection. We are going to continue along this line with a review of our Reparative Anti-Aging Serum. As you already know Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the more potent ingredients found in our  Reparative Serum.

Listed below you will find the anti-aging benefits of using facial products that are loaded with Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Alpha Lipoic Acid works by:

• Protecting skin cells
• Refining skin’s texture
• Reduces pore size, imperfections, puffiness, and uneven skin tone

Many of you who are into skincare have heard of Dr. Perricone. He’s the Guru of skincare products that contain Alpha lipoic acid. This is what he had to say regarding Alpha lipoic acid.  Those of you you are dealing with enlarged pores will appreciate this tidbit of information.

“Perricone: Alpha lipoic acid can increase energy levels in the cell. Oil glands that are energy-deficient produce abnormal ratios of oils secreted on the surface of the skin. When the proportion of these oils is off, the pores begin to clog. My theory is that alpha lipoic acid increases energy production in the oil gland, normalizing the oils secreted, which shrinks the pore size. Without abnormal oils clogging and stretching the pores, these tiny openings gradually normalize until they are invisible to the eye.”

It also helps with the prevention of glycation – where sugar and the protein of the collagen are cross-linked, leading to stiffness, wrinkles, lines and aging of the skin.

Nature’s Genesis Reparative Anti-Aging Serum provides firming and rejuvenation to the skin, while  MSM reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen resulting in an increase of suppleness and elasticity. Combined with the rejuvenating and firming benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Co-Enzyme Q10, reduces dark spots, and helps to improve color tone. Moisture levels are raised and fine lines and wrinkles are reduced resulting in a smoother, firmer more radiant skin.

We are going to be adding more video testimonies to our website in the near future, so keep your eyes open.

Experience the difference – Experience a New Beginning

Have a great week,

Tracy

All Natural Exfoliant – Reveals Beautiful Skin!

Who doesn’t desire younger looking skin? Exfoliating is a major key in our endeavor for beautiful skin. Why do we need to exfoliate our skin?  We are removing our makeup thoroughly and we are using cleansers everyday to remove the dirt from our faces, aren’t those good enough? Sadly the answer is NO!

Due to metabolism, we have around 4% of dead skin built up on our skin everyday. The skin cell regeneration cycle is from 21 days to 28 days. As we age, our skin tends to slow down the exfoliation process this is why we need to manuely remove the build up of dead skin off our face. If we have too much dead skin left stuck on the surface of our skin, it will slow down the regeneration cycle and our skin will be dull and without that healthy radiance.  What’s worse is, if we ignore the dead skin, it will eventually clog our pores leading to the formation of whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.  Ultimately, exfoliation will reduce dullness and the appearance of wrinkles by breaking up and removing dead skin cell revealing new softer, clearer and glowing skin. It also helps in boosting the blood circulation. As you can see, exfoliation is a vital component for beautiful skin.

Even though exfoliation does our skin good, if it is used to often it can damage our skin.  It is suggested to exfoliate once or twice a week, maybe more, or maybe less. Again, this is where we need to know our skin. I’m finding out I only need to use it once a week at this point.  After exfoliating, your skin will be brightened up and smoothened out, but you will also feel that the skin is lighter and cleaner.

Follow with our Facial Oil, Serums or one of our great nourishing moisturizers. You will definitely notice a better absorption of our other all natural skin care products. Wouldn’t you want those products to get “fed” into the skin and work the wonders for you instead of just “sit” on top of your skin together with the dead skin? Exfoliation is a must!

Our exfoliator at Nature’s Genesis is a non-abrasive anti-aging scrub which will leave your skin notably softer, smoother and brighter. Jojoba Bead Wax will gently remove the build up of dead skin cells. Results are beautiful younger looking skin. Ideal for all skin types

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Tracy

New All Natural/Organic Mineral Makeup Line!

Rejuva Minerals are 100% free from Parabens, harsh chemicals or toxins, synthetic preservatives or fragrances, nanoparticles, micronized minerals and GMO’s. They have signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, are members of PETA’s Cruelty Free Program and do no animal testing. Rejuva Minerals loose powders are developed in the USA in an FDA Certified lab.

.
EWG, The Enviromental Working Group, has set standards for the toxicity level in make up and skincare products. As you can see by the ratings above, Rejuva Minerals scores are extremely low, which speaks loud and clear of the purity found within this makeup line. There are very few makeup lines out there that are as pure as this. Thankfully those who have sensitive skin should have no problem with this product line as it carries no harmful ingredients.

Here is a sampling of their rating on the EWG site: As you can see their products are amazingly pure.

0-2 low hazard, 3-6 moderate hazard, and 7-10 high hazard

Top EWG ratings

(1) Eyeshadow

(1) Bronzer Purely Basic in Golden Glow & Bronze Glow

(0) Organic Botanical blush

(0) Mineral makeup Organic Botanicals Foundation
Remember what we put on our face can harm us. Here are a few scientific finding regarding chemicals:

• Skin treated with parabens show a 16 percent increase in skin cell fatality. This increase in cell death contributes to wrinkles, dark spots and diminished skin tone, thus making the skin look older. I can guarantee none of us want this! Again, check your labels and find out what your really putting on your face. You will be amazed.

• Propylene glycol  is often called ‘industrial strength anti-freeze.’ It can permeate through skin layers and enter the blood stream, where it is suspected of causing liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

• Most scientists agree that at least 80% of the more than 200 different types of cancer are caused by toxic, synthetic chemicals.

Again, ladies, we really need to be well educated and well informed of what we take in our body and what we put on our body. The purer the product the better it will be for you in the long run.

Here are some comments from  customers or their friends

I LOVE IT!

You Look So…..Nice

Very easy to use!

This makeup line is so pure and clean. Also, the mineral foundation is the very best that I have ever used. You will be amazed!

Why not give it a try!

Until next time,

Look at this 68 year old woman’s skin!

Are Your Facial Products Safe? You Might Want To Check!

Parabens are found in most moisturizers and facial products,  shampoos and even in toothpaste. Look on the back of your bottles and you will be shocked at the ingredients they use.  Parabens are known to be a skin irritant to even those with “normal” skin. Commom parabens that you may find listed on some of your facial products are: methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben and butylparaben. There are others parabens that are used, also, just look for ingredients that end in “paraben.” You will be amazed!

Although using just one product with parabens may not harm you, think about everything else you put on your body!  As you can imagine, the use of parabens chalk up quite quickly.  Whether you want to avoid parabens for health reasons or simply because the harsh chemicals irritate your skin, there are more and more products available out there for you to choose from. Right here at Nature’s Genesis you have options since we don’t allow a product to be featured if it contains parabens.

There are other alternatives that cosmetic companies could use for the perservative in their skin care products and cosmetics, but their opting for the cheaper route. Sadly enough, parabens are quite cheap to use.  Thankfully, there are more and more  consumers out there who are demanding safer, healthier alternatives, and more companies are responding to that call. You will find “paraben free” on more labels then ever before. As time goes on, there will be even more of a demand for safe, healthy,  all natural skin care products.

Next week we’ll continue along in this same vein. You won’t want to miss this.

Have a wonderful week,

Tracy
