Organic Night Anti-Aging Cream REVIEW

  • July 27, 2010 at 3:30 am



Organic night anti-aging cream review? Several organic night cream product reviews are included in this report. My reviews are a little different, because I go through the ingredients carefully. I look for those that have proven effectiveness and those that may be detrimental. Here’s some info that you really need to know. Please read carefully.

Barefoot Botanicals Organic Night Cream Reviewed

The extracts and compounds included in the product are aloe, Shea butter, vitamin E, vitamin B5, vitamin A, vitamin C and an added “aroma”. The cost is $50 for 50ml. You will not find a positive organic night anti-aging cream review for this product, because the ingredients are mostly ineffective.

Shea butter is an excellent moisturizer, but should be combined with other moisturizers when used at night. Vitamins E and C are effective antioxidants, but C can cause skin irritation and other antioxidants are more effective than E. B5 is best used on the body or a man’s face during the day, since it enhances the tanning process, most women will not like the results.

Vitamin A has long been touted as a kind of “cure-all” for the skin, but if it were truly effective, manufacturers would stop looking for other compounds and stick solely with A or retinol.

ESELLE Organic Night Cream Reviewed

It’s an inexpensive product at $17.30 per 50 ml. When you find an organic night anti-aging cream review for a product that is truly effective, you will see that the price is about twice this amount. I sometimes wonder how the manufacturers determine the ingredients they put in a skin care product.

This product contains organic “marshmallow”. I assume they actually mean “marsh mallow”. While the plant has been used historically to treat a variety of conditions, to date, there are no scientific evaluations supporting its use.

SPIEZIA Organic Night Cream Reviewed

Priced at $34.79, it is described as “beauty sleep in a jar”. It does contain jojoba, which I like, but the other ingredients; sesame, chamomile and orange oil, can be irritating. Instead of honey, they use beeswax, which serves no real purpose.

Green People Organic Night Cream Reviewed

At $12.98 per bottle, there has to be something wrong with this product. It contains a lot of safe and natural ingredients including apricot, hibiscus, rosehip, aloe, olive oil, sunflower oil, blackberry, blueberry raspberry and vitamin C. It’s 83.3% organic, whatever that means.

But, I would have to give it a “thumbs down” in this organic night anti-aging cream review, simply because there is nothing that has proven effectiveness to fade wrinkles or fine lines.

The Best Organic Night Cream Reviewed

At $37 per bottle, the price is reasonable and the ingredients are effective. It contains a newer compound called Functional Keratin. It is extracted from sheep’s wool. For those who really want to look younger, you can rely on this product.

But, the company uses more than just one effective ingredient. It also includes avocado and Shea butter for deep moisturizing while you sleep. You won’t ever use any other skin care line once you try this particular organic night cream. I know this simply because, unlike all the others I tried, this one really works.

Proactive Skin Care – Start Your Skin Care As Early As Possible

  • May 23, 2010 at 4:05 am



Indeed looking after baby’s skin from very early on, sets the trend for a life with attractive, possibly even problem-free skin, which would be anyone’s desire.

It might sound like proactive skin care means the lathering on of lots of moisturizers and other unctions that prepare the skin for the rigors of later life. The thing is that protecting the tender skin of young children is a lot easier than that.

One thing and one thing only makes the difference between damaged skin, with a tendency for problems as we get older. That one thing, especially now that climate change is all the news, will not be a surprise.

That one thing is the damage that our skin experiences from early and repeated exposure to the sun. Now, don’t get this wrong, we need sunlight on our skins to provide Vitamin D, which we manufacture internally. We just need to be really careful.

Proactive skin care means taking the trouble to recognize that sun damage is easy to acquire, and doing something about it early on, before sensitive young skins are affected.

You see, as we cannot escape the glare of the sun completely, which would make us ill anyway, there are some experiences that can avoid damage. Much of this issue is to do with proper awareness and that then leads to the proactive skin care which becomes second nature to us.

In Australia, where they do have one of the most intense solar strength of inhabited nations on the planet (partially due to a thin ozone layer), a surge in skin cancer rates drove the authorities there to spend significant sums on raising awareness.

Their proactive skin care “Slip Slap Slop” campaign, which became so well know worldwide, is still very much in evidence today. School children recite the words without thinking about it and their proactive skin care starts very early on.

Particular care is taken whenever anyone is taking part in what the rest of us would describe as just getting on with life. The Australians have come to realize that whilst exposure to the sun for special events can quite easily be managed, it’s raising the awareness that just as much damage can be done in normal daytime activities as anything else.

Truth is that he skin is exposed to the sun when walking to and from the office or gardening rosebushes every day.

By ‘Slipping’ on a tee-shirt, ‘Slapping’ on a hat and ‘Slopping’ on some (high factor) sun screen, Australians have started to teach the world the lesson that proactive skin care is now the minimum requirement and not an action of choice.

In fact, when you are with Australians in their own country these days, they are so focused on sun-related proactive skin care, not taking care of your skin properly in the sun is almost as big a heresy as smoking – and many would say, just as dangerous.

Worldwide, we can and must learn this from them and protect ourselves, starting today.

Best Tips to Soften Nails

  • April 30, 2009 at 12:01 pm



Has your nail ever broken off suddenly?

Sometimes, people suffer from brittle nails and undergo embarrassment due to uneven shapes. Although not a medical disease, this is a common feature in almost 25% of the population. The sign for such deficiencies in nails is that they break off or peel away at the free ends in horizontal strips. Exposure to repeated detergents, soaps, water and harsh chemicals as those found in polish removers may lead to such problems. There are many other reasons that can cause nails to peel like Psoriasis, alopecia, fungi infections, endocrine disorders and even malnutrition leads to such breakage in nails.

Malnutrition sometimes becomes the leading cause of it and deficiency of B complex affects the health. Taking supplements helps reduce such nails making then softer and nourished. While lack of Folic acid and Vitamin C leads to hang nails, deficiency of Omega 3 can lead cracks.

Women who use polish removers extensively have a higher chance of getting brittle nails as most polish removers have acetone which robs the nail of its moisture content leaving dull, dry looks, after contact. It is best to reduce the use of polish removers to once a week and touch up your nails during the week, if they tend to chip. There are many therapeutic cosmetic moisturizers that give temporary relief by preserving the moisture content in your nails.

One of the best ways to rehydrate your nails is to soak your fingertips in warm water and then dry them gently. Apply essential oils like Tea Tree oils diluted in avocado or almond oil, and rub the nails gently for a few minutes. Repeat this once or twice a week and you will notice that they are shiny and pink. Filing properly also helps reduce the breaking so always file gently and do not apply any pressure on the top. Use gentle herbal and organic oil based nail nourishments to keep your nail moisturized and healthy.

Sometimes, fungi growth inside cuticles also leads to nail breakages but using Tree oil applications inhibits bacterial and fungi growth. However, you should show it to a dermatologist, if this condition persists. So, if you suffer from brittle nails, avoid exposure to water, chemicals and acetone based polish removers. Use glass files to shape and moisturize your nails after exposure to water. Thus nail care is essential part of your grooming regimen.
