Using the Right Skin Care Products for the Right Season

Tuesday Oct 6, 2009

Do you switch products with the seasons? If not, it’s time to reevaluate how you treat your skin throughout the year. There is no one single skin care product that can combat against all problems. Each season brings with it new challenges for your skin; especially your face, and you need to have the right products to handle these.

Spring

After all that cold, spring can be a welcome season. You’ll probably start spending more time outdoors, but there is still a chill in the air that can cause some chapping. Use a neutral moisturizer as part of your daily routine to keep skin healthy and supple.

Summer

This season is traditionally very hot and sunny. That means you need extra protection for your face and lips. Try using a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher to keep your skin safe from the sun, even if you don’t plan on being outside much.

Another common issue during the hotter months of the year is excess oil production, which can result in a greasy look. Many women find that a good cleansing routine in the morning will help keep this in check. You don’t want to actually strip the oil away with an astringent because that only signals your body to produce more. Instead, use blotting papers or powder to absorb the excess and keep your face matte instead of shiny.

Fall

With fall comes wind and wind can wreak havoc on your skin. Again, moisturizer is key, but you’ll need something more than the light versions used in spring and summer. Stick to heavier lotions that are formulated for the face.

Another problem with all that wind is the dust it kicks up. Youll want to make sure you use a cleanser in the evening before bed to clear out those clogged pores and a scrub will help remove any dead skin and debris to prevent blackheads.

Winter

Obviously, winter can be tough on the skin, particularly if you live in an area where it gets very dry during the winter. Your cleansing routine will be very important during this time. You want to avoid chemicals if possible, since your skin will already be sensitive and irritated from the cold. Stick to heavier moisturizers and don’t forget the scrubs to exfoliate the skin that will tend to build up in colder weather. Even though it’s winter, a moisturizer with SPF is a good idea. The glare off the snow can actually burn you if you aren’t careful. Stay away from astringents or other products that contain alcohol since they will tend to dry the skin out even more than it already is.

Just like you change your wardrobe with the seasons, you need to change your daily skin care routine. Make sure you keep your face protected from sun and wind or you’ll end up with chapped skin that looks bad. Keep an eye on your skin and make sure you treat it with care according to the seasons.

How to Prevent Aging with Night Cream

Tuesday Oct 6, 2009

by Amy Nutt

Any night owl knows that after mainstream television has gone off the air the boob tube becomes inundated with infomercials that promise to make you lose weight, grow hair or stay looking young forever. The most popular of the latter category appears to be beauty products, like night creams, that make promises of eradicating wrinkles and fine lines like a Botox filled injection. What many of these companies won’t tell you is their night creams are filled with harsh chemicals that will harm the skin and actually do more damage as time wears on. Knowing this, what can informed women who desperately want to reverse or prevent aging signs do? Investigate organic night cream options made from ingredients with a proven track record is what.

Benefits of Using Night Creams

Many women understand how important it is to keep their skin cleansed and moisturized during the day, but few realize the benefits of using a nice night cream.

Well, just as a day routine will protect the skin from the harsh elements we face on a daily basis, a night cream takes advantage of sleeping skin’s increased elasticity. This relaxed state makes the ingredients in the cream absorb more quickly and your skin can feel and look more rejuvenated.

This of course goes a long way towards decreasing the signs of aging, which often occurs when the skin loses essential compounds to keep it elastic and youthful in appearance. That said, the night cream you use is only as good as the materials found within it.

Bonus of Nighttime Organic Skin Care

Although science likes to point out that the claims of organic products can be a bit ambiguous, they cannot dispute that many natural components, like soy or shitake mushrooms, have been used for centuries in health and beauty regimens. There is a reason why these types of ingredients have such longevity and it is largely because they work. To get great results and prevent aging, leave the man made chemicals behind and look for a night cream that can truly prevent the signs of aging without destroying your skin in the process.

The advantages of organic night care are plentiful and include:

1. Less likelihood of drying and peeling because of harsh chemical bases, like parabens, which can also cause serious health risks with prolonged use 2. All natural materials will absorb into the skin quickly and effectively because they are easy to break into their natural components 3. Unless you are allergic to an ingredient, you are less likely to have a bad reaction to an organic night cream 4. A nightly, organic skin regime keeps the skin supple and moist and therefore can prevent the signs of aging far better than using a daily routine alone.

What’s more, many organic night cream providers can be located online and have prices comparable to the over the counter, mainstream brands- some are even less expensive while being more effective.

A night cream is an essential weapon in the bid to prevent aging signs on the skin. To find an organic night cream that is suitable for your skin type, do a bit of research and try to locate manufacturers with a great reputation for presenting a high quality product at an affordable price
