Dead Sea Herbs

We know that healthy person has healthy, glowing skin.
So instead of spending a fortune on skin care why don’t we take care of our health and use a few natural skin care products?
Healthy lifestyle and diet will do wonders. But in our times it is almost impossible to achieve because of processed food, stress and pollution.
To compensate for these modern health hazards I found natural supplements that help your body to do the job.
Isotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine, pine bark extracts and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol in the world. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, and the most clinically researched and powerful bioflavonoid.*
For taking care of our skin from outside here is the great line of products made fro Judean desert herbs.

An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Dr. Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hypersensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems. “These chemicals are simply not going to go away,” Institute reports “pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world” and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.
The Ugly Side of Cosmetics
February 3, 2005 the Food and Drug Administration issued an unprecedented warning to the cosmetics industry stating that the Agency is serious about enforcing the law requiring companies to inform consumers that personal care products have not been safety tested. When risky chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes are high. These compounds are not trace contaminants. They are the base ingredients of the product, just as flour is an ingredient in bread. Many of these chemicals are found in percent levels in personal care products, nearly all easily penetrate the skin, and some are ingested directly after they are applied to lips or hands. And increasingly, companies are adding customized, futuristic “penetration enhancers” to drive ingredients even deeper into the skin, like Loreal’s new nanoparticle technology — a miniscule, fluid-filled sack designed to burrow deep into the skin to deliver its “active ingredients.” No safety testing required. Scientists find common cosmetic ingredients in human tissues, like industrial plasticizers called phthalates in urine, preservatives called parabens in breast tumor tissue, and persistent fragrance components like musk xylene in human fat. Do the levels at which they are found pose risks? Those studies have not been done. They are not required.
So our advice
Find same cosmetic products that are availble and are in hi demand.

A free radical is an atomic structure with an unpaired electron in its outermost shell. These unpaired electrons tend to be highly reactive, resulting in chemical reactions such as oxidation. Because they have one or more unpaired electrons, free radicals are highly unstable. They scavenge the body to grab or donate electrons, causing damage to cells, proteins and DNA.

Free radicals are naturally occurring; however, air pollution, stress, smoking, heavy exercising and aging all contribute to the creation of harmful free radicals. Free radicals can cause oxidative damage to the body, potentially leading to serious health problems. Normally the body is able to protect itself from the damaging effects of free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if free radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur.

 Getting facials: Yes, that’s right — you can strike facials from your skin-care budget and actually be doing your skin a favor! Studies show that as many as 80% of people break out after a facial. Aestheticians often don’t know which products are right for the skin of each client, and may use ingredients that can worsen acne, or essential oils that tend to irritate sensitive skin. Even if you don’t break out, there are really no long-term benefits to facials.

Skin problems are sometimes little understood by the medical science. The skin is sensitive to the accumulation of toxic materials in the body, since it is an organ which stocks such materials and excretes them by perspiration.

There are all natural skin care products available that will benefit your skin health.

Also some natural products will keep your skin healthy from the inside.

1. Using a cleanser with harsh detergents: Many people assume that the suds of their vigorously foaming cleanser are a good sign — surely they’ll leave skin extra clean. Unfortunately, copious suds are generally a sign that your cleanser contains a harsh detergent, like lauryl sulfate, that strips skin of vital lipids. (And don’t get me started on bar soap — that is always a no-no.) Instead, look for cleansers that contain fatty acids and will actually fortify your skin, like Dove’s ProAge products, or even simple cold cream. If you have particularly dry skin, I recommend cleansing oils, which remove dirt and makeup without disturbing your skin’s natural protective barrier.

Dr. Baumann is author of the best-selling book, ” The Skin Type Solution.”

Many people suffer from dry, chapped skin during the winter months. Thick winter clothing can often worsen dry skin by rubbing it raw. Often people cope with this problem by using moisturizing lotion. But this solution only works for some people.For those with dry skin that is also sensitive, many lotions can actually further irritate the skin. On all-natural dry skin care solution is to use oatmeal. Oatmeal soothes and hydrates rough, red skin. Try adding a couple teaspoons of powdered oatmeal to your bath.

7. AVOID: Chemical detergents, cosmetics, creams, and cleansers. After being horrified by the toxic elements that I am finding weekly in the bodies of the very young, I know that we are passing xenotoxins from generation to generation. These toxins are sucked into the body from our clothing via toxic cleaning materials.
      DO:For topical house cleaning I recommend vinegar with water, lavender and tea tree essential oils. Paraben free cosmetics, shampoos, and creams are an absolute must to avoid cancer. Avoid antimony in waterproof eye make-ups.

6. AVOID: Commercial Deodorants. They contain xenotoxins and block detoxification efforts. Sweating is good.

      DO: Nothing. If you smell, you are probably suffering from internal toxins. Daily take 2 chlorophyll tablets with are alfalfa, or 1 tablespoon Barlean’s or Odo’s Green drink with pure water. If you need social support, try plain baking soda (to which you may add tea tree or lavender essential oil) under the arms before going out.

Or use Nikuz Cleansing Tea : A mixture of dry herbs and aromatic oils. Neutralizes and drains toxic materials which accumulate in the body during an illness. Recommended for use during the healing period, for fundamental treatment of chronic diseases (inflammations, allergies etc.) and for overall fatigue.

Deodorant
My favorite is Baking Soda with lavender essential oil. Recipe is: ½ cup baking soda with ten drops of lavender essential oil.

Other uses 

Baking soda is also good to soothe aches and pains, good as a toothpaste, and also as a remedy for upset stomach or depression (drink 1 teaspoon to ½ cup warm water. Stir until dissolved and then drink.)
