Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 This is an article written by the owner of Jozlyn's Remedies. Products can be found at the Trad Foods Warehouse. www.JRemedies.com About Natural Skin Care.... Skin is our largest body organ. The things skin comes in contact with can have a great effect on our health. This includes detergents, water quality and skin care products. Even the things we eat can greatly effect our health. To truly repair damaged skin and renew moisture it is essential to work naturally with your body, repairing damaged cells without hindering the skins ability to produce new healthy cells. This is done by using natural ingredients that compliment the way our body works. What is Skin & how does it work??? In order to understand how to properly moisturize your skin, you must first understand how skin functions and how it naturally hydrates itself. Skin has three main layers. The bottom layer is called Subcutaneous Tissue, followed by the Dermis and Epidermis. The Subcutaneous Tissue is a fatty tissue and consists of fat, collagen and fibroblasts. This is where the skin cell begins. As a cell from the Subcutaneous Tissue matures, it moves its way up through the Dermis to the Epidermis. Skin cells are constantly being pushed toward the Epidermis by new cells that continually form. The cell will eventually age, dry out, and fall from the skin as it is replaced by new younger cells, but lets take a look at what happens before then... The matured skin cells of the epidermis create the layer we see when we look at our skin. This amazing organ averages 20 square feet in size as it covers and protects your body performing its amazingly important functions. What Does Skin Do??? Skin does so many things to help keep our bodies healthy including taking in vitamins and nutrients. Skin can absorb much of what it comes in contact with; breaking down substances through the skin layers and eventually delivering the absorbed substance to the body. Skin can absorb a countless variety of nutrients, vitamins and even toxins. It preforms this function unable to identify what the substance is that it is taking in. Once a substance is absorbed, the body will use nutrients and beneficial particals. Toxic or foreign particles will usually be eventually be excreted, or deposited somewhere in the body such as in certain tissues or in an organ where it can lay dormant or cause damage and ill health. Why Should I Use Only Natural Products on my Skin??? This is why it is important to make sure you are putting only healthy and complementing substances on your skin; because putting something on your skin is a form of delivering substances to the body, whether those substances are good or bad. Skin is also designed to help eliminate some toxins and constantly sweats at least a tiny bit averaging a total elimination of two pints of salt and water each day. The amount of harmful toxins able to be eliminated through the skin is very minimal compared to the amount of toxins held by today's average body from absorption, environment and food. Incredibly, skin has its own way of protecting itself as it protects our body by regulating temperature, prevents loss of water, offers sensory experiences and even prevents harmful bacteria from entering our body and making us sick. What Causes Dry Skin??? Appending our hair follicles are small glands called Sebaceous Glands. These glands produce our body's natural oil made of triglycerides and cholesterol, called Sebum. Sebum is very important to the health of your skin. It gives waterproofing qualities, acts as a protectant and helps maintain skin texture. It is your skin's natural hydrator. Without it your skin would dry out and crack allowing harmful bacteria into your body. Dry skin involves a lack of sebum to the skin cells. There are a number of reasons ones Sebaceous Glands would be unable to produce enough Sebum to maintain healthy, well hydrated and protected skin. Some examples include water quality, poor diet, environmental factors, hereditary factors, age and exposing skin to unnatural substances. Such circumstances either strip away the skin's natural Sebaceous defense or even will hinder the skin's ability to maintain itself or produce what it needs to in able to continue its functions properly. Many ingredients in today's market can contribute to skin damage and health risks and the cosmetic industry is not required to educate consumers about the potential dangers of their products or ingredients. Even products labeled " Natural " or " Organic " often contain not only natural ingredients but also at least some amounts of unnatural fillers, preservatives and chemicals. It is always important to read labels and research ingredients so you know what you are putting on and in your body. Why Choose All Natural Skin Care Products??? To truly repair damaged skin and renew moisture it is essential to work naturally with your body; remoisturizing to repair damaged cells without hindering the skins ability to perform the function of producing new healthy cells and moisturizing them with Sebum. Topical moisturization takes care of the immediate need for moisture in response temporarily protecting the skin and allows a chance for new cells to grow but it is extremely important to do this without destroying the future process of skin function if you want to break the cycle of constantly damaged skin. It is very common for one to apply an average moisturizer to their skin to make it " soft " when in actuality on a microscopic level it is creating an illusion of softness with an artificial coating in which the process of breaking it down actually damages cells and skin function. This common misinterpretation of skin beauty may seem like it is helping your body but is commonly a temporary toxic patch that damages long term skin function. The result is a need for more and more " moisturization " , pre-aging, and exposing your body to unnatural and potentially dangerous ingredients. Creates a great market these days when cancer rates are ridicules. Because the skin can often be a reflection of your overall health when aiming for true skin health, you must also consider other factors which may effect you.
