Anti-Aging Exercises for Better Looking Skin

September 3, 2017 By Roxanne 1 Comment

Anti-Aging Exercises

Do you include Anti-Aging Exercises in your weekly routine? You can't travel the straight and narrow path of clean living without exercise. “But I don't want to spend hours in the gym,” you may say. Well, of course not. Sweating it out in the gym is not the only way to get in a good workout that leads to better-looking skin and overall youthfulness. Of course a healthy skin care routine keeps skin bright and beautiful but also Yoga and Pilates are exercises that give you the flexibility needed to combat aging. The key to success with these workouts lies in the concepts of BE-FIT and BE-SAFE.

Well, duh! Of course, you want to be fit and safe 

Yeah, no, that's not what we mean when we say BE-FIT, BE-SAFE. The phrase is actually an acronym that stands for all of the elements needed to get in a good workout that contributes to youthfulness. Continue Reading

Vitamin Boost

Coffee has many benefits for your health and skin. One cup of coffee contains many nutrients, including 11 percent of your daily Vitamin B2 requirements, and 6 percent of Vitamin B5. These nutrients are mostly found in meat products like chicken and beef livers, so they’re not always easy to consume, especially if you’re vegan.Continue Reading

How My Hair Went from Brittle to Smooth with One Simple Change

June 29, 2017 By Roxanne Leave a Comment

silky smooth hairWe all want silky smooth hair that feels healthy. Soft, smooth hair that is free from frizz without using unhealthy synthetic hair products. Long hair can be especially hard to keep healthy because the ends dry out easily. My hair is pretty long and I know it's time for a trim when the ends start to feel rough. A few years ago, I was noticing that this was happening quicker and I couldn't go quite as long between cuts.

Ten years ago when I learned about the harmful chemicals in beauty products I stopped using synthetic hair products. Switching to natural products took some time and experimentation but now may hair is healthy.  Instead of using thick heavy synthetic products to control frizz I have a natural routine that prevents it.Continue Reading

Get Rid of Dry Skin Without Petroleum Products

November 17, 2016 By Roxanne 11 Comments

get-rid-of-dry-skin-without-petroleum-productsEvery season comes with it's skin challenges and this time of year we're all trying to get rid of dry skin. It can be even worse for those of us with a Vata body type (if you're not familiar with Ayruvedic Dosha's, you can find out more about your body type here). If you are like me and have had dry skin your whole life I'm sure you've been told to use petroleum products like Aquaphor, Vaseline, or Eucerin. While these products may seem to work, they are not really healing your skin and they contain potentially harmful chemical additives.

In this article, you'll read that creams that contain mineral oil, like Eucerin, can increase the rate at which skin tumors form. Just a quick search on the Environmental Working Group will show you that Aquaphor contains a level 8 chemical additive called oxybenzone which has a long list of potential risks. It's clear these products aren't safe options for you or your family. The good news is there are many natural alternatives that work with your body's ability to heal itself.

Here is how you can prevent and sooth dry skin with all natural ingredients:Continue Reading
