Dyes and Colorants NO!

Did you know that many skin care and beauty products are made up of dyes and colorants ? Well, dyes and colorants in skin care products can cause harmful effects, even more so if you have sensitive skin.

The Dead Sea

In our quest to have fresh radiant skin, I can not neglect to present to you The Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is a major resource for many natural skin care manufacturers due to it's extremely rich mineral content and the fact that's it's completely pollution-free. This is optimal for producing products such as balms, salves and bath salts. How many places in the world can boast such an oasis?

The Dead Sea is located in Jordan and the Jordan River is the ONLY river that flows into the Dead Sea with absolutely no outlets. The weather is perfect - Sunny and pleasant throughout the entire year.

The surrounding areas to The Dead Sea have such a rich mineral content (rich in sodium, potassium, bromine and other minerals, extremely beneficial for fresh radiant skin) coupled with reduced radiation. This is a prime location that has been discovered to have therapeutic healing effects.

Fun Fact: The Dead Sea was a place of peace and safety for King David as recorded in The Holy Bible

Beautifying Ugly Skin Naturally

So your skin is your pride and joy right? If you have unsightly acne or other skin conditions, it can be somewhat embarrassing right? Well, what if you found natural products that have the ability to beautify that ugly skin? Not, that you are an ugly person. Pretty people can have ugly skin. This is a matter of the condition of your skin and if it's healthy or not.

I've suffered with acne, dry patches, oily skin and uneven skin tone. With each of these skin conditions, I've discovered some pretty effective remedies to beautify my skin when it was ugly. By the way, it made me feel ugly too!

During the winter months many people who have seemingly normal skin, suffer with dry patches that resemble eczema. Present! Acne is also a common problem among many, especially those with oily skin. Then once the acne has healed, uneven skin tone can be a result. Present again!

For the acne, I tried Proactiv. I tried products formulated with salicylic acid and benzol peroxide. None of these worked for me. Now, they may work for you but I suspect that if you are still reading this post, it hasn't. While everyone's skin is made up of the same basic layers(epidermis, dermis and subcaneous tissue) people respond differently to different skin treatments. I am at a place now where I opt to look for natural herbal remedies over pharmaceutical based treatments. I discovered three products that I am having a LOT of success with treating acne, minimizing oil production AND smoothing dry patches. I'll share where you can get these three products in a bit but first, here's what they are and how they work:

• Young Living's Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil - Purification or Acne Serum for acne prone skin and oily skin to minimize oil production


• AHA Night Time Facial Peel - AMAZING for smoothing dry patches and evening out skin tone.


• Result: Minimized frequency of excess oil production in the skin, less acne break outs and faster healing from breakouts

These products are nature's gift and have seriously improved the condition of my skin. The oils, the AHA facial peel AND drinking lots of water have made the difference between me having ugly skin and having healthier more vibrant looking skin.

Anti-wrinkle vs Anti-Aging

Can a skin care product really be considered anti-aging? NO! I wanted to add the "H" word before the "NO" but I'm a Christian so can't do that. I am human though and I do confess to thinking it! How on earth are you going to stop the aging process..unless you just die?

It always behooves me to see product claims re: anti-aging. There is no such thing. Actually, aging is a wonderful thing. It means you have been given the opportunity to actually experience life. There's nothing wrong with getting older.

Now to address the vain. So, you don't want to look like you are getting older? Ok, then don't look for anti-aging products. Consider anti-wrinkle products. There are some products on the market that can discourage the appearance of wrinkles. Barring, surgery these products will help you to age gracefully. There are some products on the market that can also help deal with skin issues so that you don't have get wrinkles prematurely. The problem with a lot of anti-wrinkle products are they are so heavy laden with chemicals that the side effect from the chemicals may be worst than actually getting a wrinkle or two.

One area that people are a bit considered about getting wrinkles is the eyes. Well, one really great way to prevent premature wrinkles around the eye area is to stop worrying. Just like you can get premature grey hair from worry and stress, you can also get premature wrinkles.

As ladies we really do want to look young as long as possible so hear are a few anti-wrinkle products that I use and highly recommend. I'm going to keep it real too. While I am in the business to sell natural skin care products, I am NOT in the business of ripping folks off and selling products that don't do what they claim to. I would rather stay working at my day job and quit this business before I do that. Any product I sell, if I can't use it and it doesn't work for me, then I have to assume it won't work for anyone else. Capiche?

So here are 4 products that I use and have some good experience with:

Blended Naturals Day/Night Mineral Plumping Anti Wrinkle Cream
This product is great for plumping a little life into dull skin. Sometimes when I wake in the morning after not getting a good night's sleep I use this product and it really does help the face to look more vibrant. Plus, it infuses Dead Sea Minerals into the skin and contains anti-oxidants to fight free radicals.

Blended Naturals Dead Sea AHA Night Time Facial Peel
This product is great for refining the skin and minimizing pores which will help prevent wrinkles in the long run.







Blended Naturals Under Eye Serum
I love this serum because it helps to reduce the puffiness under your eyes as well as helps to lighten dark circles. Some people have natural "bags" under their eyes due to genetics. This probably won't help you. However, if you typically don't have "bags" under your eyes but you have them due to a lack of sleep, stress or whatever, then you will be quite pleased with this product. This under eye serum is loaded with Dead Sea Minerals, cell renewing peptides, and other natural nutrients. Over a few weeks of constant use (2x per day) you should see a noticeable difference. Just be careful not to apply it too closely to the eye like I did. The burning sensation of anything in contact with the eye is not fun.

Lastly, Blended Naturals Dead Sea Mineral Hydrating Anti Wrinkle Serum. I don't use this product every day because I mostly use the Day/Night Cream. However, I've had customers who have purchased this serum and they just love it! It gives the sensation of a tighter skin feel. This is due to the Phytolift and Botopical which lifts and tones the skin.

To sum it all up, if you are looking for an anti-aging product, you'll be disappointed by products that claim to do so. Honestly, I believe the words "anti-aging" are used more for the purposes of marketing. If you are looking for some really good anti-wrinkle products then Blended Naturals can offer you that at very affordable prices. Plus don't let the small bottles fool you. A little goes a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way. If you don't believe it yet, stop buy our online store to pick up a Super Beauty Sampler. This sample set contains a variety of products but includes the AHA Peel and the Under Eye Serum.

Be Blessed,
Michelle

Natural Skin Care Sampling

It seems as though natural skin care products are a "dime a dozen" online. However, a skin care product does not have to be 100% chemical free to be classified as natural. While some natural skin care lines do have minimal traces of chemicals, the two chemicals you really want to avoid are Sodium Lauryl, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Methylparaben (or anything ending in "paraben"). These chemicals are potentially dangerous for your skin and your health.

Blended Naturals does not contain any of these chemicals and is known for being kind to sensitive skin.
The Blended Naturals "Super Beauty Sampler" contains an assortment of natural skin care samples for $9.99 and is available online at www.freshradiantskin.com.

Blended Naturals is making it's mark

Blended Naturals is a NEW mineral skin care and bath spa line making it's way into the world of beauty...

Beauty Bloggers around the country are recognizing the quality and effectiveness of this natural skin care line. From bath teas, shower gels, whipped body creams and salves to detoxifying cleansing gels, toner and brown sugar scrub and mask, Blended Naturals is rapidly becoming a hit in the world of beauty.

Like any beauty product, it take some time for the public to catch on. Of course, that's not the case with huge companies that have deep pockets and large R&D (research and development) teams. However, for those of us without a name.......yet, we have to work twice as hard to get our creations noticed.

I'm very proud to present Blended Naturals to the world.

Here are just a couple of bloggers who have reviewed this wonderful personal care product line:

Blended Naturals Launch Party

To Welcome Blended Naturals, my new Dead Sea Mineral and Natural Skin Care and Bath Spa line, I had a Spa Party on February 7, 2009. It was a lot of fun. Here's what took place:

• Facials
• Foot Soaks
• Product Sampling
• Buffet Food (Notice in the video people mention the fantastic cupcakes...courtesy of www.ILoveAmyCakes.com
  
• Music
• Viewing of the bloopers for my YouTube Video (still a work in progress)
  
• Raffling of several pampering items including a Spa Gift Basket, Memory Foam Slippers, a Homedics Massager, A vanilla bean Spa Night Gift Set and a last minute bottle of Organic Shower Gel

Check out the video of the spa party. My daughter played amateur videographer. It was nice and kind of silly in some ways since there was supposed to be no men but one of the ladies brought her son and of course there was my husband lurking around. He had to be there though. He was the cook!

Intrigue with the "Natural"

This weekend I attended a women's retreat and distributed a bunch of natural skin and bath care samples. I've discovered that people are more intrigued with using natural skin care products than I first anticipated.

Most people use popular consumer products because that's whey are conditioned to do. They are used to the big name brands because the manufacturers of these large brands have deep pockets and can put out some serious advertising (true or not) about these products.

When you introduce something new such as natural skin care, the reaction is more welcoming than anticipated. The women at the retreat were absolutely thrilled by the products and couldn't believe how clean and delightful the scents were and still have no heavy preservatives and chemicals in them.

So, if you are trying to promote a natural line of products, don't be discouraged. You'll be surprised at the level of interest. Many people are "going green" and trying to live healthier lives, that includes personal skin care products. More people are educating themselves about the pros of natural skin care and the cons & dangers of chemically laced products. The more people take an interest in what they put on their bodies, the more you will see people moving away from the so called popular brands and moving towards "the natural".
