skin care
Have you ever looked on the back of your facial moisturizer or shampoo bottle and wondered "what the heck is all that stuff??" There are a lot of long words.
Are they okay? The short answer is yes, but in moderation. However, like many things these days, we are inundated with these compounds in everything from our shampoo, to moisturizers, to cosmetics. Read the articles that follow about why we should be cautious and some alternatives to look for.
The Usana Sense line of products is paraben free and based on the principles of cellular nutrition and "intelligent" skin care. We have had great success with these products! Click here for more information about Sense
There are five components of complete skin care:
- Sunscreen and Photoaging Correctors
- Topical Nutrition to counteract pollution and free radicals
- Natural Refining Complexes such as lupine proteins (reduce appearance of wrinkles and maintain elasticity)
- Non-Irritating Preservatives that keep products viable (avoid products with parabens, quarternium 15 or DMDM hydantoin-releases formaldehyde-yuck!)
- Proper Nutrition and Hydration
Please share YOUR experiences and even some products you have found to work well without all these nasties! Email Jill and she will post them on the newsletter!
