CRUSHED PEARLS FOR RADIANT BEAUTY

Posted by

There are an absolute plethora of ingredients being used in modern day cosmetics ranging from traditional herbs and minerals to the less orthodox choices, one of which we’ll be discussing in this article.

The bottom line with any new cosmetic product is that it should make the user both look and feel beautiful – if those criteria are not met then the product will inevitably fail. The trouble often comes when trying to source food quality ingredients that are both effective, and in this modern market, original. Everybody wants more every thing; the products and ingredients that we used to consider as being the absolute best of the best are no longer up to our modern day standards at large. What would have been a market breaking foundation 10 years ago will now have a closely related brother or sister product in the bargain bin of the local pound store simply because it’s no longer the next big thing or breakthrough in cosmetic science. read more

Posted by

Are you a lover of all things natural? Do you love pearls from the ocean as jewelry and home grown or organic vegetables for dinner? There is a lot to be said for appreciating natures home grown produce, especially when it comes to your beauty routine.

When it comes to beauty remedies we love nothing more than earth’s most natural creations. It is all too easy to be swept off your feet by all the beautiful new products which have tempting packaging and celebrity all claiming to give you that beautiful sheen and glow. The funny thing is though, these products often try to enhance the fact they are made with ‘natural ingredients’ and contain essential ‘vitamins and minerals’ your skin needs. What they often fail to tell you is that these so called beauty products are actually loading your skin and pores with chemicals and parabens galore and the vitamins will be in very small abundances in very limited ingredients. Facial masks and moisturizers can contain heavy fragrances and coloring to make them appeal to your senses and shampoo contains harsh additives and ingredients which strip your hair of its natural moisture causing it to produce excess oil so it gets greasy quicker. read more
