Our Skincare Questions and Answers
Solutions to your Most Challenging Skin Problems

The skin care industry is big business; market research suggests that by the year 2015 the industry could approach an astounding 10 billion dollars a year. The big numbers are not really that surprising if you take into account the fact that every two weeks some new anti-aging face cream hits the market as a whopping $50.00 an ounce. Do they all work? That is the question.
Fortunately, for the average person who can't spend these kind of exorbitant dollars on skin care products, there are alternatives. Great skin care doesn't have to come in a one-ounce jar or bust your budget. Great skincare comes from knowing the essentials, and sometimes learning some secrets from mother earth, after all she is the oldest lady around

What are the essentials to facial skincare?
Skincare essentials for facial care are as easy as 1, 2, 3. The first step is to ensure you keep yourself hydrated. When the body becomes dehydrated it pulls moisture from everywhere in order to re-hydrate itself, this includes the skin. Number two; cleanse, exfoliate (when needed), and moisturize. Remember this means everywhere, not just your face. Body skincare is just as important as taking care of the skin on your face. Number three is protection; your skin is your first line of defense against everything the outside world throws at you. You must be sure to protect it from toxins and harmful UV rays.
So, how's a girl or guy for that matter, to know which skincare products are the real deal?
The first thing you need to know is, your body doesn't create toxic chemicals, nor does it process them well. The use of lab created chemicals is the number one cause of allergic reactions. The first step in the right direction to choosing a good skincare product is to choose an all-natural, or at least a 99% natural product.
What ingredients do I need to look for in an all-natural skin care product?
Different ingredients are needed for different areas of specialty. There are some basic key ingredients that any good product should have; these are vitamins A, C, and E. These vitamins are essential to any great skincare product skincare. Every good moisturizer, or skincare cream, needs a base and for this you should look for all-natural oil; this may be in the form of olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, or a mixture of many. The list of natural oils is very long this is just the most commonly used types. Also there are many all natural scents that are very beneficial to the skin, such as lavender, rosemary, rose oil, and so on.
Why is it so important to moisturize?
There are several reasons why moisturizing is so important. One good reason is to simply stay healthy and looking good cosmetically. Your skin is your body's first line of defense against outside germs and parasites. In order to maintain maximum security, you must be sure that the skin stays intact, free of breaks, tears and scratches. Dry skin has a tendency to be less flexible and therefore scratch or tear a lot easier. Even worse, severely dry skin is susceptible to cracking; these cracks can allow germs and parasites into your body. Cosmetically speaking the reasons to moisturize are obvious, healthy smooth skin is a lot nicer than wrinkly dry skin.
Why is it important to exfoliate?
This is a very good question. Your skin is constantly in a state of construction, continuously renewing itself. Every 25 days or so, depending on your age, your skin sheds cells to make room for the beautiful glowing new cells beneath them. The problem occurs when the dead, dull skin stays attached. Exfoliating gently removes these dead, dull cells and allows the beautiful new cells under them to come to the surface.
