Natural cosmetics: facial cleansing and natural cosmetics

From ancient history, the illusion of showing a younger and more beautiful skin led experts alchemists and magicians, knowing the powers of nature to heal diseases, to look for ingredients to make ointments and oils that had the virtue of stopping the passage of time or that, at least, they managed to keep the youngest aspect possible.

This deep knowledge of the natural environment has been the basis for contemporary medicine and cosmetics that we know today. Most of the active ingredients that are used in medicines, drugs and modern cosmetics come from the exhaustive study that has been done throughout the history of numerous plants and algae .

With the development of science and technology, the active substances of most of the plants and algae we know have been synthesized , achieving high concentrations of active principles that improve the therapeutic and behavioral properties of the products. However, there are many of these substances of plant origin that are not "synthesized" in a laboratory, either because they are excessively expensive to produce compared to the ease in the collection, or because the method to synthesize them is not found.

The  Cosmetics natura l exploits the properties of whole plants or the most valuable parts of these to enhance the moisturizing effects, nutritional and aesthetic regenadores in their products. The natural character of their formulas is given by the use of these plants, which have been chosen for their remarkable cosmetological properties to result in highly effective hypoallergenic products.

The effectiveness of our products has not been tested on animals in any way, since the effectiveness of each of its ingredients has been known for a long time and is supported by the study and investigation of its properties and drawbacks over many centuries. botanical history.

Facial Cleansing

The skin is the largest organ that covers our entire body and ensures its protection. More than just a body wrap, it acts as a barrier against germs and prevents water from entering our body.

The skin needs to be clean to be able to breathe . However, excessive hygiene can 
cause disorders that impair the normal functioning of our skin.

With a proper cleaning are eliminated: makeup residues, sweat, dust and other 
pollutants in the environment, natural oils secreted by the skin and dead cells.

However, excessive cleaning diminishes the defenses of our skin, irritates it and exposes it to the effects of aggressive agents such as sun, pollution and infections. In our skin live millions of bacteria that our body needs to keep the skin healthy, and an excessive impiezacan also reduce the activity of these bacteria.

Cleaning your face twice a day is the right thing to do . More than twice is not recommended. If you have dry skin, it dries even more with cleansing products, and if you have oily skin the glands are stimulated and act by secreting more oil, that is, the skin becomes more greasy.

The night cleaning is very important, because during the night the skin relaxes from the gestural tensions and it is the ideal moment to favor the effects of nutritive creams, regenerating and anti-wrinkles that are applied, that without a clean skin hinder the penetration of the products nocturnal

After a one night break the skin secretes natural oils and residues by perspiration that are desirable to eliminate. A morning cleaning is necessary to remove these oils and residues, and prepares the skin to apply a day moisturizer with sunscreen or makeup, which should not be occlusive.

Important information about cosmetics

The sensitivity of the skin to water loss is given by many factors, both internal and external, such as diet, age, stress, hormones, snuff, drugs, sudden changes in temperature or humidity, the sun and many others. It is because of this large number of factors, often uncontrollable, that it is necessary to use cosmetics to preserve hydration and get away from the consequences of water loss from the skin.

A moisturizer contains in its formulation substances that take the water molecules that are in the air and store them on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin). It also provides components that help maintain water and not lose liquid in quantity.

Just as the outer layer is the one that intervenes in the level of hydration, the dermis (middle layer) provides the skin with its elastic properties and offers water reserves for the formation of new cells. The collagen and elastic fibers s present in the dermis stabilize the skin and prevent its deformation.

The cosmetic s, in different ways, provide nutrients and substances "regenerative " that are essential for the formation of such fibers and collagen. To promote penetration or to drive these elements to their destination, the formulations are completed with liposomes, nanospheres, etc. that act as vehicles or catalysts to improve and invigorate the production of collagen and elastic fibers.

A good cosmetic should promote cellular respiration to maintain the functionality of these; It must hydrate deeply to maintain the elasticity of the skin and must provide the cells with the nutrients necessary for optimal development of new cells. In general, specific productsare developed for each type of skin because each person has different qualities to retain water, nourish the cells and regenerate the skin.
