the skin you're in
120
That is the average number of chemicals it is estimated a woman applies to her skin every day through the application of various creams, makeup, perfumes, etc.
Research also tells us that up to 60 per cent of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream.
In a world already bombarded with chemicals, we really don't need to be feeding more of them into our bodies through our skin.
Premature ageing of the skin has also been linked to the numerous chemicals, fragrances, dyes, colours, preservatives and other synthetic ingredients which are used in most skin care products.
PURE FUSION Botanicals products contain gentle, natural ingredients which will not strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it dry, irritated or distressed. Our formulations will help put much-needed moisture back into your skin without suffocating it or clogging your pores.
As the body's largest organ, your skin is vital to survival and performs many functions:
- provides a protective barrier between you & the outside environment
- prevents loss of moisture
- assists in the excretion of toxins via sweating
- reduces the harmful effects of UV radiation
- acts as a sensory organ (touch, temperature detection)
- helps regulate temperature
- acts as an immune organ to detect infections
- converts ultraviolet rays into Vitamin D
Considering it's vital role in your health & wellbeing, it is obviously sensible to take care of your skin.
Healthy, radiant skin which is less prone to the signs of ageing can be attained by choosing truly natural skin care products which work with your skin's natural processes. It helps to also follow a few simple rules:
wear sunscreen
Unprotected exposure to the sun is THE single biggest cause of premature ageing. The closest you will ever get to the 'Fountain of Youth' is a bottle of sunscreen.
don't smoke
Apart from the well-known health risks, smoking also contributes to free radical damage which contributes to the ageing process.
be gentle on your skin
Cleanse your skin with mild products which do not contain strong detergents, cheap synthetic ingredients or harmful chemicals. These ingredients do not belong in ANY skin care product.
exfoliate regularly
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cell build-up, dirt and oil and also helps to increase circulation.
moisturise regularly
Choose effective products which will help maintain your skin's natural moisture levels over a long period. The best time to moisturise is straight after bathing. Dry, stressed and mature skin may also benefit from a concentrated serum ideally applied before going to bed.
use an alcohol-free toner
Floral waters and hydrosols offer a gentle, more beneficial alternative to mainstream toners which can contain skin-drying alcohol.
get your beauty sleep
Your skin regenerates itself while you sleep. Eight hours is the norm, however some people do fine on less.
don't stress
Stress contributes to a host of undesirable health issues and your skin is not exempt from the fallout of a stressful life. Don't take life too seriously - it WILL give your wrinkles! Buy yourself a how-to meditate book as a present.
