natural skin care products

More and more people are becoming allergic to chemicals that are being used in mainstream skin care products. This is motivating cosmetic companies to find an alternative to satisfy those who cannot use chemically-enhanced products. As the number of people who are concerned about toxins in our environment grows, more skin care companies are offering "natural" and "organic" products for anti-aging skin care. Natural skin care products are one of the fastest growing product segments. Millions of people worldwide are making the switch from synthetic, man-made products to natural cosmetics, natural skin care, natural hair care and other natural care products. Natural cosmetics and skin care products serve to beautify and care for the human body by means of ingredients of nature.

This is made possible with natural raw materials, friendly to both the skin and the environment. Natural skin care should stimulate and support our natural skin functions, rather than supplanting physiological processes. These products offer gentle, wholesome care and are thus an important aid to the health of the skin at any age. Prompted by the positive trend toward healthier lifestyles, manufacturers of skincare products are turning to nature for product inspiration for everything from cleansers, moisturizers, eye creams, cleansers and toners, masks and anti-aging.

Plantogen, plant derived spa therapy, skin care products are a great example...
Plants have been used for centuries for their medicinal, cosmetic and general well-being benefits. In the beauty arena we know the potential and the effectiveness of Green Tea, Vitamins C and E as antioxidants that neutralize the effects of skin damaging free radicals and the anti aging benefits of Retinol and other propriety combinations of plants and herbs. Plantogen, plant derived spa therapy, is concerned with the beauty and appearance of skin. Plantogen developed their products motivated by the belief in plants as effective ingredients in the improvement and maintenance of healthier, younger looking skin. It combines the most advanced scientific knowledge with plant based technology.

Plantogen products combine some of mother nature's well known healers, such as Manuka Honey, Chamomile, Jojoba, Aloe Vera, fruit oils, herbs, Vitamin A derived Retinol, and the antioxidants Green Tea, Vitamin C and E. Many provide visible and tangible improvements in skin tone and appearance, while others provide a soothing aroma that can assist in a feeling of relaxation and mental well being.

At Harvard Skincare, some of our customer's favorite Plantogen products include: Plantogen Hydrating Moisturiser, Plantogen Foaming Cleanser, Plantogen Purifying Cream Cleanser and Plantogen Intensive Firming Serum. We invite you to try Plantogen today!

It's interesting that all natural skin care may reduce the allergic tendencies I have toward some of my skin products. I'd be interested in getting more information on eye skin cremes that are natural-I have a problem with sensitivity to some things I put around my eyes. Any suggestions?

Dear Deanne,

Your experience is not uncommon. All skin is not created equal. For example, the skin of the soles is thick and hard, the skin of the nose and cheeks tend to have particularly active sebacious glands and the skin around the eye has it's own special traits:
- It has virtually no sebacious glands, which makes it highly prone to dryness.
- It is much thinner and more sensitive than other facial skin.
- It overlies a particularly dense capillary network and has minimal fat padding, which makes the eye area prone to puffiness.
- It is stressed by frequent eye movements and squinting.

Unfortunately, the area around the eye is rarely given the individualized attention it deserves.

We suggest you look for spa quality natural eye creams such as Plantogen, Avance, Bioelement, etc. One of our favorites is Plantogen's Corrective Eye Gel. It contains extracts of cucumber, green tea and chamomile.
