Many prestigious manufacturers of natural means of a care behind a skin create production on the basis of an extract of red tea from Southern Africa and Peptides. The scientists convincingly have proved, that these natural elements for a care of a skin are capable to stimulate development collagen (fiber making white fibres of a skin), which saves health of a skin and natural image prevents its(her) aging.

Water - most important natural component necessary for health of a skin. The effect of water impossible is to compared to action of any other means - with she as though "«bathes" crates of a skin and washes off all harmful  toxins.

 

The common norm of consumption of water recommended National Advice(council) of Researches of USA (National Research Council), should make 1 milliliter of water on a calorie. It means, that the consumption 1000 calories should be counterbalanced 1000 ml of water - very simple mathematical decision for a care of a skin. To supply a skin with a necessary moisture, it is necessary to drink many fruit juices, tea, green tea, sparkling water, iced tea and others soft  drinks.

Natural recipes for the peoples of the world!

Long since women worldwide applied set of efforts to save the beauty and to prolong youth. The large role in it was played by(with) various masks, which recipes were passed in families from generation to generation. The structure of such masks often was stored as fiduciary from the another's women, as everyone beautiful woman zealously preserved a secret of freshness and elasticity of the skin. But some of the ancient recipes of masks of beauty of the different peoples have reached and up to now.

Natural recipes for skin care:
The Roman mask
This mask about 2 thousand years back  Roman women used for cleaning and smoothing of a skin. Besides the mask gave flatten  to a greasy skin. The structure of this natural cosmetic means is simple and is accessible. Two items of a spoon of a flour from green  peas mix from two items by the spoons of whey. The received mix put on the person by a thin layer and wait, while she completely will dry up. Then accurately erase a pea powder from the person by circular massaging movements.

On the cleared person put a layer finely chopped of cabbage, then lie down in a dark room 15-20 minutes. Try at this time maximum to relax. Then take off cabbage and carefully .Rinse  the person by cold water.

Food’s only skin deep!

Yolanda Owens stirs a stockpot of a thickening creamy concoction, bubbling over an open flame. She adds freshly squeezed, organic carrot juice. Owens has several recipes in motion: Silver bowls swish with lime juice or churn with oatmeal and brown sugar.

 

But while her southwest Atlanta kitchen begins to smell like a bakery, her customers don't bite into these desserts. These sweet mixtures are meant to glide on top of the body. Customers exfoliate with grits, scrub their feet with coffee beans and splash their face with "It's Like a Salad" face toner.

 

Owens, a self-proclaimed "skin chef," joins an emerging group of businesses making fresh and even perishable skin care products. She even sells mini-refrigerators for proper storage of her line of preservative-free skin care made with fruits, vegetables and grains purchased in bulk from the DeKalb Farmer's Market. Her Iwi Fresh (stands for "it is what it is") products are sold online and at six metro Atlanta day spas.

 

The 2-year-old company dips into a $60 billion-per-year cosmetics and skin care industry as it's undergoing an Earth-friendly makeover.

 

Last year, Spa Sydell introduced fruit masks that change with the season —- crushed cranberry pomegranate masks in winter, blueberry toppings in springtime and a grapefruit cleanser during the hottest months.

 

From Body Shop's seaweed exfoliater to Bath & Body Works' organic honey and pear body scrub (which has a shelf life of only six to eight months), the skin care industry is increasingly turning to Mother Nature.

 

The green shift in skin care products is being fueled by growing consumer concerns about chemicals in everything from water bottles to children's plastic toys to what's inside that night cream (it's common for face products to include paraben preservatives and petroleum-based ingredients).

 

So with Americans opting for BPA-free water bottles, and wooden toys, why not puree an avocado to moisturize your face?

 

Skin care experts say they understand the appeal of lathering up with fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, but they are not convinced food-based beauty products are necessarily safer, more nourishing or even more gentle on the skin.

 

"Just because it's squeezed from a fruit doesn't mean it's going to be more benign," said John Bailey, chief scientist at the Personal Care Products Council. "The acids of citrus fruits can be more irritating. Traditional products have been around for a long time, and they have been shown to work and be safe."

 

Dermatologists also raise concerns about the all-natural mixtures not containing SPF, which protects the skin from sun damage.

 

Additionally, experts warn about using perishable cleansing brews past their expiration dates. Skin products made without preservatives are prone to bacteria growth, the way a piece of bread gets moldy.

 

So rubbing a freshly made pumpkin scrub on your face after it's past its prime could cause acne, warns Dr. Amy Kim, a dermatologist at Metropolitan Dermatologic Surgery.

 

Warnings aside, Jody Artale of Fayetteville finds it refreshing using an edible skin care line without any chemicals, dyes or preservatives. She believes she gets everything she needs from her Iwi Fresh collection, which includes the "14 Carrot Glow," a tonic made from lettuce, and the "Brown Sugar" body scrub.

 

"I look and feel great," Artale said. "And I like knowing what I am putting on my body."

 

Melissa Grill Petersen, director of operations at Blue Med Spa in Atlanta, said she loves the idea of green products but believes they don't always get the job done.

 

The spa continues to whip up fresh-to-order hair smoothies made with bananas, avocados, cantaloupes and olive oil in its Green People Salon.

 

But it no longer sends batches home with customers because the smoothies last only one month —- even if refrigerated.

 

And perhaps the biggest challenge is fighting Mother Nature with her own output.

 

"There are great things that are naturally based that can help you feel better and make your skin smoother, but is it going to take away lines and wrinkles?" Petersen said. "I can't say there's any olive oil or a pear that's going to do that."

 

Back in Owens' southwest Atlanta kitchen, she's experimenting with tropical recipes for a spa at Atlantic Station.

 

She's draining coconuts and slicing starfish. She jots down ideas on her poster-sized paper on an easel. After spending two years mastering the carrot product, she's prepared for many trips to the farmer's market —- and many hours in the kitchen —- to get this Caribbean-inspired line just right.

 

She hopes to one day open up an organic fruit and vegetable juice bar —- for skin.

 

Kiwi Skin Firmer

 

Kiwi contains vitamin C. It improves the overall look of the skin and makes it more elastic. Honey is a natural hydrater and moisturizer.

 

1 ripe kiwi (peeled) 1 teaspoon of honey

 

Mix the kiwi in a blender or mash with a fork if it is soft. Strain the excess liquid and add the honey.

 

Apply the mass on the face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Banana Face Smoothie (Face Cleanser)

 

Yogurt and sour cream refresh, moisturize and cleanse the skin, while banana and honey rehydrate it.

 

1 banana

 

1 tablespoon sour cream

 

1 tablespoon plain yogurt

 

1 teaspoon honey

 

Mash banana in a bowl. Add sour cream and yogurt and mix to a smooth paste. Drizzle in honey. Blend to smooth texture.

 

Apply a small amount to a clean face and neck in a upward circular motion. Rinse with warm water.

New Secrets for Youthful Skin

Blame sun and smoking for early wrinkles. What will erase these marks of time?

Every woman dreads the day when she glimpses the first wrinkle in her otherwise smooth skin. But for many, that day is arriving even earlier than they expected. Dermatologists say that the increasing popularity of tanning beds and smoking among young women over the last two decades has spawned a generation with premature wrinkles or worse. "We're seeing many more women with sun damage at earlier ages today," says Dr. Roy Geronemus, a New York dermatologist. And, he adds, "the number of young women with skin cancer is startling."

 

Sun and cigarettes in adolescence and early adulthood are also the culprits behind age spots, broken blood vessels and irregular pigmentation by the time you're in your 30s. Dodging those two is the best way to keep skin looking young as long as possible. But if the damage is done, don't lose hope. Going under the knife isn't the only option. Even though you can't completely erase the effects of aging and unhealthy habits, you can take advantage of a growing array of skin-care products that may help hide these flaws--from $20 drugstore wrinkle remedies to laser procedures that can cost hundreds of dollars.

 

Much of the billions spent annually to fight skin damage is going toward a category of products called cosmeceuticals--over-the-counter preparations that are neither cosmetics nor pharmaceuticals and thus are largely unregulated. In 2004, estimated U.S. sales of skin-care cosmeceuticals reached $6.4 billion; analysts say the figure is expected to grow with the market. What can you expect from these and other skin-care products? Here's a rundown of advice from the experts:

 

SUNBLOCK: It seems obvious, but dermatologists say many people still wrongly assume that sun protection is required only for a day at the pool or beach. In fact, you need it every day. "When you're walking your dog, or even sitting next to a window for a long time, you're getting incidental sun exposure--and over time, that adds up to sun damage," says Dr. Diane Berson, assistant professor of dermatology at Cornell University's medical school. Pay attention to the sun-protection factor (SPF). While lotion with an SPF of 15 blocks about 96 percent of the sun's rays, a 45 SPF sunblock cuts out about 99 percent. That can make a big difference to someone who's fair-skinned. Wonder what your skin would look like if you'd kept it protected from the sun? "Look at your butt," says Dr. Steven Cohen, chief of the dermatology department at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. "It's smooth, without wrinkles."

 

MOISTURIZERS: Besides causing wrinkles and other damage, aging and sun exposure can exacerbate dry skin. Experts recommend regular use of a moisturizer once a woman is in her late 20s or 30s to smooth and soften skin. Look for ingredients like petrolatum, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and cyclomethicone--all of which help prevent water loss from your skin. Cohen prefers Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Cream, a nongreasy formulation. He recommends avoiding hot or frequent showers (which can remove the body's natural oils) and disinfectant soaps, which can be abrasive.

 

WRINKLE ERASERS: Antioxidants like topical vitamin C or E neutralize free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules that break down skin cells, damage DNA and exacerbate wrinkles) and can improve the skin's appearance and protect it from sun damage. Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) help remove dead cells for smoother skin, stimulate collagen production to ease wrinkles, and even out skin tone. Renova and Avage, available by prescription, are the only such products approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat wrinkles. But brands with similar but milder ingredients like retinol are available over the counter. These include Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream, RoC Retinol Correxion creams and L'Oréal Line Eraser.
