Avoid Skin Irritation with All-Natural Products
Posted by Rebecca on Jan 27, 2010
Do you want to be able to take care of your skin while making the ideal choices for your overall health at the same time? If so, you should opt for all-natural products when it comes to your overall skin care since they have fewer risks of causing dryness and skin irritation compared to other kinds of products.
A lot of manufacturers of cosmetics tend to place parebens and other synthetic ingredients into body lotions and creams that could cause skin reactions, as well as dioxane, which is considered to be carcinogenic.
Because of this, you should really focus on searching for the greatest organic products for skin care that exist out there and would be safe for use on every kind of skin.
Without a doubt, it will be hard to select all-natural products of skin care since manufacturers tend to make use of both synthetic and organic ingredients. However, there are brands out there that only make use of true all-natural ingredients, like Burt’s Bees.
Additionally, all-natural products for skin care are also beneficial in areas other than the skin. Several all-natural facial exfoliating scrubs can even help you wake up every morning - a much better alternative to your daily cup of joe.
No time for skin care? Try a Mini Facial!
Posted by Rebecca on Sep 12, 2009
With today’s fast-paced lifestyle and our demanding careers, it is sometimes very difficult to properly care for the skin the way it deserves to be cared for. How many times have you slept through a few hours unintentionally with makeup on? How many times did you miss your weekly exfoliating routine because you were out of time? How many times have you missed your facial appointment because something came up at work?
Fortunately, skin care salons and clinics today have recognized the needs of people on the go. There is now what is called “mini” facials. As suggested by its name, a mini facial is (usually) a half-hour skin care treatment that concentrates on treating the skin problem directly. It gets right into what needs skin care attention, thus the shortened time required, and gives your skin the quick rejuvenation it needs.
With mini facials, you do not have to worry about being gone from work for an hour or two, nor worry about getting home late. All you need in order to give your skin the treat it deserves is a good 30 minutes!
Note though that before a mini facial treatment session, it is important that you consult with a trained skin care expert to pinpoint what your skin actually needs - whether you have blemish’s to deal with, blackheads or whiteheads, whether your skin needs more moisture or if you want to smooth out those aging lines, and so on. As soon as the problem is determined, a skin care plan is laid out to you, which involves a facial that gets right down with business immediately.
Aside from saving time, mini facials cost less than the regular facial. Since it requires less time and fewer products to apply, expect to pay a lot less than you would for your normal facial. Talk about practicality: a quick, time-saving facial that gets right down to the root of the problem and costs less.
Mini-facials can also be a great opportunity for you to try out various facial treatments available at Skin Care by Rebecca. This should be advantageous if you have multiple skin problems. More importantly, if you try different types of mini facials, you can take better care of your skin as you respond to its various needs.

Skin Care Tips for Men
Posted by Rebecca on Aug 7, 2009
Most men think that skin care is something that only women are best at. Their idea of skin care is limited only to shaving, and they hardly ever spend time to care for their skin.
However, we all know that proper skin care is necessary for men and women alike. The skin is the first line of defense of your body that protects you from illnesses and germs. More importantly, the skin is an essential part of our outward appearance. Also, skin care becomes increasingly more important as people age. Just like that in women, men’s skin also loses its elasticity with age, so don’t wait until it’s too late to start caring for your skin.
What is important to realize is that skin care doesn’t take up much time. In fact, it can be easily incorporated into your routine, as it only takes a few minutes a day to maintain healthy skin. Here are important tips for men’s skin care:
Wash your face everyday with mild soap. You probably do this already, but what is crucial is that you choose the right soap that does not contain harsh ingredients that may do more harm than good to the skin.
Exfoliate once or twice a week. Make a schedule every week to spend a few more minutes for exfoliation. Wash your face with lukewarm water and an exfoliating cleanser. These contain tiny grains that clean out your pores. Remember that men’s skin is generally oilier and has bigger pores than women, so this is a must to healthy-looking skin.
Wear sun screen. The sun can have detrimental effects on the skin. Make sure you wear sunscreen if you plan on being outdoors during daytime for an extended period of time. If you are uncomfortable with the greasy feel, use liquid-based sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 (higher is better).
Shave right. Shaving can bring your skin roughness, so it is important that you do it right. Before applying shaving cream, make sure you coat the area with some hot water. Make sure you give it time for the cream to settle before you start shaving. After shaving, use cold water to rinse, dry then put some after-shave moisturizing lotion.
Keep a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Good skin is always associated to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Load yourself with fruits and vegetable as they contain natural antioxidants that slow down the aging process. Take vitamins and mineral supplements rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. Try to stay away from oily foods, smoking and alcohol. Exercise regularly as it does not only help your pores to be cleared, but makes you feel better as well.
Drink plenty of water. Skin cells are made mostly out of water so keeping them hydrated is important to keeping them healthy. Drink at least 8 glasses of water, and increase your intake if you drink alcohol, soda or coffee.
So you see, skin care for men is not as difficult as you think it is. All you need is the right frame of mind, and a little diligence. Trust though that the added effort will surely be worth it. Contact us now for more information on men skin care.
