"Beauty is more than skin deep" - we hear it all the time. In this artificial world of botox, plastic surgery, Photoshop and auto-tuner for our celebrities, we sometimes forget this mantra and the fact that the health of our skins - our long-term beauty - really does go beyond the epidermis or surface layer of the skin.
The "garlic test" is commonly referred to; the test whereby you can rub garlic into your skin on your arm, cover it up, and within 15 minutes you will taste garlic in your mouth.
Regardless of whether this test works for you, the chemicals which are present in our cosmetics really do penetrate deep into our skins, blood streams and body systems. If we are not careful about the products we bombard our skin with, we may accelerate the ageing process significantly (the very thing that we are often applying these products to avoid).
Ageing is mainly caused and accelerated by a failure of the body to repair damage. If your skin is constantly being bombarded with unnatural chemicals, all of your body's attention is focused upon ridding the skin of these substances. Subsequently, the repair functions of the body are sacrificed as the skin as an organ simply struggles to keep ridding itself of unnatural substances.
If the skin is treated only with natural, paraben-free cosmetics and makeup which are free from harmful additives and artificial chemicals, this leaves a lot more energy for the day-to-day repair functions that SHOULD be going on. In this way, signs of ageing (such as damaging of the skin's collagen) are reduced and the skin stays young and healthy looking for longer.
The fact is, looking after your skin and long-term beauty is not difficult. While always eating "clean" can often be a challenge in today's environment, buying pure, natural cosmetics has never been easier. No longer confined to expensive eye rejuvenation creams, it is now even possible to find products such as organic spray tan solution. The range of products available to us on the internet (the UK's fastest-growing retail environment) means that sourcing natural products for your skin should be a no brainer.
In addition, some natural products even have extra vitamin complexes and skin nutrients to aid in the repair of previously damaged skin. Matrixyl-3000, for example, has been hailed as "the new botox" for its ability to actually reverse UV damage. This wonder complex is present in both professional and home-user natural spray tan products so that not only can one now tan safely without the risk of UV damage, but any pre-existing damage can now actually be reversed by this very same treatment.
