Find True, Meaningful Beauty

February 22nd, 2010



That is part of what beauty products offer us. An ability for people to see us at our best. One of the best ways of improving your skin quality is the use of rejuvenating facial masks. And one of the best on the market is Meaningful Beauty Facial Masque.

As you can probably tell by the spelling of Masque, it was invented by a Frenchman. Parisian dermatologist Dr. Jean Louis Sebagh developed the line of skin care products after supermodel Cindy Crawford started seeing her for skin issues. We all know she had that mole but who knew she ever had any skin issues? Or even a bad hair day? Maybe supermodels are like us. Only prettier.

According to company literature, the product “purifies, deep cleans and revives stressed-out skin.” Just take a gander at Cindy Crawford’s famous mug even today and it is pretty clear that the proof is in the pudding.

After Dr. Sebagh and Cindy Crawford were satisfied that this Facial Masque actually worked, they approached Guthy-Renker and formed a company. Now Meaningful Beauty is available to all of us. Never before has the possibility of having skin like a supermodel been more attainable by the masses.

Most importantly, the Facial Masque is made up pretty much entirely of natural and holistic ingredients. Things like eucalyptus extract, certain teas and even cucumber. Put together in the right combination and strengths and Meaningful Beauty becomes the perfect choice for the person who doesn’t like putting chemicals on their face.

Another positive attribute is the fact that the eucalyptus and cucumber give the treatment a cooling characteristic when applied to your face. No one ever said beauty had to be painful.

Natural Health Beauty Tips

February 21st, 2010



The number one natural beauty tip I can give you is to take your health seriously. In Chinese medicine, we know that natural external beauty is a reflection of inner health and well being. Often, the solution to external beauty problems is an internal one. That means foods and herbs. In the case of skin problems, herbs can be use to create creams or wraps and applied directly.

In Chinese medicine, we treat problems like acne, blemishes, and other skin problems, hair loss, and premature graying of the hair. Some of this you may need to see a Chinese medicine herbalist for, but some of it you may be able to deal with yourself. I’m going to give you natural beauty tip after natural beauty tip to help you do just that.

Natural Beauty Tip 1 – Eyes Lacking Luster
what does it mean? You can see it in babies and young children – bright, glowing eyes. Our oldest Chinese medicine classic states that “the essence of the internal organs ascends to the eyes.” The Bible says something similar, “Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light.” Clear and glittering (shining) eyes indicate vitality of mind and essence. Dull, clouded eyes reflect a disturbed mind, and weakened essence – this often happens in people with long term and deep emotional problems.

How can you fix it? Well, first of all, if you have some emotional problems, work through it with a professional- a counselor, therapist, or someone within your religion. This is one part of getting to the clear, vibrant personality that shines through in bright eyes. It may take a while to get there. Second, you can take herbs and eat foods that benefit the eyes.

Natural Beauty Tip 2 – Bags under Your Eyes
Bags under the eyes indicate Kidney-system (root energy) deficiency, blood stagnation, or allergies. Respectively, the solutions are to increase energy and minimize overwork; get more movement and circulation; and find the allergy cause, eliminate it, and take anti-allergenic herbs and foods. The Kidney-system energy is limited. If you overwork, have too much sex, or use more energy than your digestive system can produce, you’ll dip into this limited energy fund. This can lead to more than circles under your eyes- you can end up with premature aging and hair loss, impotence and infertility, and ankle, knee, and lower back problems. If that’s your problem, try to practice moderation, eat better, and take supplemental herbs and foods.

Natural Beauty Tip3 – Dry Skin
Moistening herbs and foods are soy, spinach, asparagus, millet, barley, salt, seaweed, apple, tangerine, pinenut, persimmon, peanut, pear, honey, oysters, and clams. A seaweed facial wrap would be nice, too!

A Beauty Spa Treatment & Natural Beauty

February 19th, 2010



Unlike the advertising industry has led us to believe, natural beauty products are as effective and work just as well as commercial products. Commercial skin care products can cost a fortune but you can save hundreds of dollars a year by using natural products that you find in your kitchen, and you help the environment at the same time!

Beauty products such as face creams, wrinkle reducers and lotions can be made from items in your kitchen, and can be customized by adding drops of essential oils to scent. All these products will be free from artificial and harmful chemicals. Exfoliation is always good for the skin as it removes dead skin cells and rejuvenates the skin making you look younger. You can easily make up your own exfoliation cream simply by using everyday items found in the kitchen.

Looking after your skin is important and as we age our skin becomes less supple and we will be prone to sagging and wrinkles. Using natural products on our skin from an early age will prevent our skin from ageing as quickly. One of the most effective natural skin products is Aloe Vera and this product is now commonly found in many commercial products. This plant is used for various skin complaints, as a lotion, cream or spray and is especially effective for sunburn relief.

If you learn how to make beauty products of your own you will be able to personalise them to your own taste and save money at the same time. There are various books and websites detailing which natural products are beneficial for your skin and many of these have been used for years for skin ailments. There are also lists of recipes that you can try out and customize if necessary.

Creating natural skin products is easy and will help you achieve the look you want without the extra cost.
