ORGANIC SKINCARE

Last week, I was sitting across from my 82-year-old mother and found myself staring at her face. Something was slightly different. Her skin looked firmer, healthier-glowing a bit. I had not seen her in a few weeks so the thought of a little plastic surgery did cross my mind. She joked for years about a little nip and tuck here and there but she would tell me right? So of course, I said something. I told her how great she looked (because she did) so she had the opportunity to spill the beans. She said, “it is the cream you told me about.” I could not believe my ears that I was getting all the credit for introducing her to this wonderful organic skincare line I discovered about 10 years ago called Savor Beauty. I was excited to think that my skin may look like hers when I am her age since I use the line religiously twice a day. It truly is an amazing line and I think it works!

SELF CARE

Fifteen years ago, a fitness instructor changed my skin.

During his class, he announced to the group "what you put in your body is just as important as what you put on your body." This resonated since I spent a good part of my life eating processed food and using makeup, skincare and detergents loaded with ingredients I could not even pronounce. Since that day, I try my best to use all natural organic products on my face, body, underarms, and yes - tampons, too. At the end of the day, I believe the teacher was onto something when he said take care of your whole body!

TIPS FOR TIPS

The peak season for manicures and pedicures is around the corner.  When getting your nails done, it is important to follow care procedures in and out of the salon.  Here are a few recommended guidelines for more beautiful, healthy nails.

• Keep your Cuticles!! It may seem strange to ask your manicurist to not cut your cuticles, but many expert dermatologists advise against removing them.  Cuticles are natural barriers to fungus and bacteria.  If cut, you will risk exposing fingers to infection.  Pushing cuticles back is your best option, so make sure your service provider knows to do this once he or she begins.  

• Studies have shown that vitamin B7, also known as biotin, prevents brittle nails and increases nail thickness.  Foods such as green peas, oats, soybeans, walnuts, brown rice, and sunflower seeds are rich in B7.  

• Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone based polish remover.  Acetone strips nails, causing them to become brittle.  Nail polish with formaldehyde and toluene are also toxic for nails.

• Moisturize your nails with petroleum jelly, cuticle cream, or vitamin E oil. 

• Avoid Nail hardeners. Many of these products are not proven to strengthen nails and, in fact, have been shown to cause more damage than good. 

•  Make sure your nail salon follows standard protocols for disinfecting tools and chairs.  Good technicians always take tools out of disinfectant jars, as opposed to drawers.
