Naturally Clear News, Issue #011 -- June 2010 - New Natural Health Tips June 19, 2010 |
{!date long+0} Hi {!firstname_fix}, Welcome to our Naturally Clear News update for June 2010. And what a month June has been!!
First, I wanted to thank all of you that have taken the time to write to me and let me know what kinds of information and supports can be most helpful for you and your sensitive skin. I'm not always able to answer personally, but I am very grateful for each and every one of you who write! I added a new feature to our monthly updates, a Natural Health Tip of the Month, since so many of us are experiencing stress and lots of change in our lives!
In this issue...
Did you know that Dry Skin Brushing is an incredibly simple way to improve the health of your skin? It helps to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluids in your body, which helps your body to naturally cleanse and detoxify. It also helps your skin to let go of dead skin cells, and it feels energizing. In addition it tightens the skin, and opens clogged pores which allows your skin to breathe. It also stimulates circulation, improves digestion and helps your nervous system to rejuvenate. If your skin is challenged and you need a little extra help, try dry skin brushing! How to Dry Skin Brush To do dry skin brushing, you'll need a soft, natural bristle brush that has a long handle. You can also use a dry loofah or, in a pinch, a rough towel. The best time to dry skin brush is before taking a shower in the morning. Always brush towards the heart, so you would start for example at the bottom of your hand and brush upwards towards your shoulder. Use long, sweeping motions and brush your whole body, including your back. Avoid areas with open wounds or rashes, and if you are sick you can dry skin brush twice a day to help speed your recovery. Dry skin brushing will make you feel great, AND it is great for your skin. It is a simple and VERY affordable way to stay healthy and to help your skin to look and feel its best!

This month I wanted to call attention to a humble but VERY effective product that I use, that looks just like a fancy lip gloss! It is the Cleure Lip Balm which is one of the nicest I've tried. I've used so many, and most recently tried Alba Botanica lip balms and Dr. Bronner's Lip Balm. For me the Cleure wins hands down as the smoothest, longest lasting, and the nicest finish .. and a great price. It goes on the lips and looks shiny without looking artificial. There is no added color so it can be used under or over lipstick. I actually feel rather glamorous when I wear it!! The other nice thing is that there no plant allergens, no parabens, fragrances or coloring, and it comes with an un-flavored option. It lasts a really long time. The ingredients are:
I tried some other brands of lip balms as well. The Dr. Bronners Lip Balm is also quite nice, however does not leave the same beautiful shine on the lips.
These are some of the newest tips and homemade recipes I've discovered for sensitive skin. This month’s recipes are a potpourri of some of the most interesting ones. I hope you find them helpful!
Out of Facial Toner? Try This If you've run out of your favorite facial toner, try diluting some of your moisturizer with water and putting it in a spray bottle! You can also find some nice homemade recipes for facial toners here at our skin care tips section.
Energizing Body Scrub Well, if you get exhausted easily like me, you might appreciate this energizing body scrub. It DOES contain a little caffeine, so don't leave it on for more than a minute or two. However, coffee has so many other benefits for your skin, I think you'll love it! Blend together: 1 part organic sea salt or raw sugar 4 parts organic coffee Enough unrefined organic unrefined coconut oil to make it hold together Before showering, apply to your body and then shower off. It leaves your skin gently exfoliated, and the coffee is actually beneficial for your skin. Coffee is not so great for you when you drink too much of it, but it has many health benefits when applied to the skin. In fact, Many people with acne, eczema and other skin conditions find that coffee applied to their skin helps to reduce the inflammation. Coffee tightens pores, helps protect against the sun, reduces wrinkles, cleans up free radicals that contribute to aging and skin inflammation, and may even help to reduce skin cancer. You can add ground coffee beans to your facial cleanser for a gentle exoliant, mix with natural oils such as coconut, or even egg whites or yogurt to get the benefits. Use organic coffee for the best results! Homemade Skincare Remedy for Acne Did you know that raw potato is a really excellent and effective homemade acne remedy? It's also probably one of the least expensive, even if you use organic potatoes! There are several ways you can use it on acne.
This potato home remedy is excellent when used along with our recommended acne sensitive skin treatment. Got a Favorite Skincare Recipe? If you have a great homemade skincare recipe that works well for sensitive skin, please share your skincare recipe!
