Eco-Friendly Organic Products work in Harmony with the Skin

Skin is the human body’s largest organ and also its most exposed. It keeps our organs protected and helps create the appearance we are known by, giving us personality and the markers that make us recognisable. Skin is the first line of defence against the environment, and it protects the body from excess water loss and dangerous pathogens. Other functions of the skin include temperature regulation, insulation and production of Vitamin D.  Skin thickness varies at different places across the body and the skin under the eyes is amongst the thinnest and one of the first places where the features of age may be seen.

As well as the eyes the skin on the hand is also one of the first areas which show visible signs of ageing and the wear and tear that comes with regular use. The skin on the hand is vulnerable as it is regularly exposed to water, dirt other external elements and with years of domestic chores and work the skin does become tired. The skin of the hand can easily become cracked and sore and rough over the years and while you may choose to wear gloves to protect your hands some of the time, they can’t be worn for every task and more care needs to be taken to look after your skin. To repair the damage to your hands, an organic hand cream can help bring back their former softness and help them to feel gently nourished, a much better alternative to chemical-based creams and lotions that could prove more damaging in the long run.

Choosing organic skin care is the best option for your body as natural ingredients are much more suited to the skin than those created from corrosive chemicals. The skin reacts naturally and recognises the natural properties of organic ingredients, and it absorbs them more easily as well as benefitting from their effects more quickly. Traditional skin care products often contain excess water, chemical compounds that include corrosive and harmful elements and, therefore, it’s no surprise that some people have reactions and are irritated by them. Organic products work with the skin to help it repair and rejuvenate and at Skin Blossom, we specialise in products that are made only from natural kinds of butter, oils and extracts. You can view our full range at our website – www.skinblossom.co.uk and also find out more about the range we have to offer, including the organic ingredients used.

Organic Skin Care is better for Both You and the Earth

Cris Beethan, the lady behind Skin Blossom, created the company eight years ago, and her aim was to deliver a highly effective organic skin care range at an affordable price. She launched with just one product, Organic Hand Cream, and now the range has expanded to include all kinds of organic skin care. Cris is really proud of the fact that all of the Skin Blossom products are made in the UK and have achieved the very strict organic health & beauty standards laid down by the Soil Association. It is also important to note that none of the products available here are tested on animals, and Cris only buys ingredients from suppliers who she knows are cruelty-free too. All of the products are also registered with the Vegan Society, which means not only are they great for your skin but they are kind to the environment as well. 

There isn't really any regulation of the manufacture of skin and hair care products at the moment, which is quite a sobering, though. This means that potentially harmful chemicals may creep into any mass-marketed product that we may potentially use. Some potentially harmful ingredients that have been found in synthetic products include Polyethylene Glycol, Mercury and Nitrosamines. These chemical compounds can be easily absorbed through the skin, and then our bodies have no way of ridding itself of them. The toxins can then quickly spread through your body and may cause minor health issues. 

So, in order to protect your body, skin and hair from chemicals you may want to switch over to using organic skin care such as organic body lotion. The health and well-being market is booming at the moment, as more and more people are becoming concerned with trying to find products that are good for them and also good for the environment too. Buying your skin care and hair care products from a reputable Organic supplier such as Skin Blossom will mean that you are making the right choice for your body and the Earth.

Prevent Skin Damage with Organic Product Usage

Chemical based beauty products are gradually starting to lose their popularity amongst people, as they are finding that there are side effects to treating their skin with them. Many different cosmetic products available today are made with chemical components that can easily react with skin in a harmful way. Many times these products seem to be the miracle cure giving amazing results instantly, but long term use can cause skin to lose its natural elasticity and glow, and skin can end up looking worse than it did before. Also, if you use synthetically produced products on a regular basis your skin will be exposed to the chemicals within on a regular basis, and milder products will seem to have little or no effect on them. 

Some people have very sensitive skin that cannot bear the harshness of synthetic products, and they can have reactions such as itching, wrinkles, and dryness. Organic products have been shown to remove all chemically induced barriers, and can act as a better replacement for synthetic products. The most important quality of organic skin care products s that they have no harmful chemicals in their ingredients, and they act on the skin in a perfectly natural way. 

Organic hand cream is one such item that people are buying more and more off. If you think about it our hands suffer most during our day to day lives - pretty much everything we do is done with our hands: eating, washing, cooking, cleaning, writing, etc. They are subjected to many harsh chemicals on a daily basis, and so are often one of the places that show the first signs of aging - with things such as dark spots and wrinkles appearing. Organic hand cream is the best option for preventing hands getting too rough after prolonged use of conventional hand cream. 

Organic skin care is really good for people who have very sensitive skin, who may suffer from skin problems when using conventional mass market products. One of the main reasons for a decline in skin health is the slowing down of collagen production, and this can cause sagging on the face which can lead to wrinkles and fine lands.

Using Organic Eye Cream Will Be Very Beneficial for Your Eyes

Many factors contribute to how well your skin ages. Things like genetics, for example, can help determine whether you are fortunate enough to have minimal lines or excessive wrinkles around your eyes. However, regardless of what internal and external factors may be affecting your skin, in general, the use of a good moisturising organic eye cream may be able to help delay the signs of ageing - or at least possibly hide them temporarily!

Aestheticians will tell you that as your skin ages it tends to dry out more because the sebaceous glands produce less oil.  Using an organic eye cream with moisturising ingredients may help by preventing the onset of dryness in the eye area.  Also, because dry skin can cause fine lines to appear more prominently around the eyes, the organic eye cream will fill the spaces between the skin cells and therefore reduce the appearance of the wrinkles on your skin, at least for a short time. Beyond the reduction of dryness and wrinkles, a good organic eye cream can also help with the reduction of bagginess and puffiness around the eye.

The skin around the eye is of course very delicate, so you would be wise to avoid using harsh or irritating ingredients in this area. A good organic eye cream, like the Reviving Eye Cream from Skin Blossom, will be made from natural ingredients that will be calming on your skin. Skin Blossom's Reviving Eye Cream contains 85% organic ingredients, including Green Tea, Eye Bright and Buckwheat extract.

Research has shown that the skin around the eyes is thin enough to absorb the antioxidants found within Green tea, which help with reducing puffiness and swelling and can also help to constrict the blood vessels and so reduce dark circles. Eyebright is a plant that grows above ground and is famed for its astringent and anti-bacterial properties. Buckwheat extract is used a lot in Japan, as the Japanese believe it great for enhancing the performance of eyes. The combination of these ingredients helps to revive and restore the skin around the eyes.

Skin Blossom aims to deliver high-quality organic skin care products at affordable prices, and launched with just one product - our award winning organic hand cream. Over the past nine years, the range has expanded to include face care, body care and hair care and all products are certified to the very strict Soil Association organic health and beauty standards.
