Health Care

By: Jolie LeFleur

There is no universal definition of 'natural' skin care according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This leads to many advertising liberties being taken by marketers to improve sales. Natural skin care creams are tremendously popular right now because of the belief that what is ingested will affect all aspects of health, including the skin. While water and other 'natural' oils will provide health perks, the most effective natural skin care component comes from a special source.

The word natural has considerable market value in promoting skin care creams to shoppers. Because there is no universal agreement to what this actually means in terms of skin care, there are some creams toeing the line of natural and some others that are way over the line. Skin care creams use naturally derived ingredients like herbs and roots, but literally speaking, anything derived is not 'natural'.

There are natural skin treatments for everything you could ever imagine. There are natural remedies for stretch marks, old age spots, and of course, inflamed acne. The reality is that many common skin care treatments are more effective in name than the actual care of skin.

Some illustrations of natural skin care ingredients include aloe vera, chamomile, and shea butter. Aloe vera has been used for decades as a scar treatment and as a way to avoid stress marks. Moisturizers and lotions packed with aloe vera are all over the market.
People love applying creams full of aloe vera because of the commercials they have seen for years and years. The reality is the effectiveness of aloe skin care creams is iffy. Doctors and investigative journalists have studied the effects of aloe for years and not seen any convincing evidence of improvements in skin. Habitual application of aloe can include muscle discomfort, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalances.

Water is recommended as a natural skin care ingredient. While water is a natural element and does help skin, it is not really a product. What if you were in need of a rosacea skin care product, would water be your first option? Will consuming large amounts of water actually help keratosis pilaris?

The answer is that drinking water does boost skin's health but it won't cure skin conditions. Water helps the skin expel toxins and impurities, this is important. The problem is that water won't destroy bacteria or promote collagen and elastin synthesis. It will make your skin shiny and bright but it won't treat conditions that require more powerful treatments.

Certain natural ingredients are more advanced than others. Thanks to the discovery of a new biological skin care component, you can boost the natural remodeling process of your own skin and shed old, dying cells and let new, flawless ones emerge to give the skin a cleaner appearance. Would you feel more comfortable with a substance that is produced inside living cells for the direct objective of protecting and renewing the skin instead of a plant extract?
When applied topically to fresh, clean skin, the biological ingredient will fuse with your skin cells and:
* Dissolves dead and dying cells on the topmost micron of skin
* Eliminates damaged cells within the skin by the action of biological enzymes
* Energizes the use of the amino acids that the enzymes liberate and activates the fibroblast stem cells which favor the development of new healthy connective tissues.
* Arouses the formation of the extracellular binding between cells, thus boosting skin strength, decreasing fragility.
* Restores the capacity of the skin to stay hydrated by triggering the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture.
* Neutralizes free radicals by the action of its strong antioxidants that also have an anti-inflammatory effect.
* Impedes microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne.
* Manages blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the capillaries in the skin contributing to its proper nourishment.
