Take care dry skin

There are so many great natural face moisturizer ingredients available why would you use skincare products that are loaded with chemicals when you don't have to? Well, first of all, you have to know what these natural moisturizers are and where to find them.

First, what are some of the ingredients you'd want to avoid in mainstream skincare? There are all sorts of nasties like parabens which have been linked to an increase in breast cancer. You'll find these with a prefix of methyl, propyl, butyl or ethyl and they all end in "paraben". This is a chemical preservative that extends the shelf life of cosmetics and could be hurting you.

Moisturizer

Innocent seeming fragrance could also be making you sick. With over 70,000 chemicals used to make a single scent, fragrance is one of the chief culprits of allergies in skincare.

Now that you know some things to avoid, what kind of natural face moisturizers are good?

You could make like the Ancient Romans and bathe in crocodile dung and mud in hopes of keeping your skin smooth and wrinkle free but if that makes you turn up your nose in disgust and, really, why wouldn't it, you could take after Cleopatra and try honey. But I don't recommend the supermarket honey bear. Supermarket honey will help moisturize your skin but it'll be very sticky.

Better to try a skincare product made with a top honey proven to fight aging and nourish and moisturize your skin. Active manuka honey is cultivated in the wilds of New Zealand. It's gathered from the manuka bush and scientists have proven this honey has the highest antioxidant qualities of any other honey. Antioxidants protect you against cancers and premature aging by fighting free radicals loose in the body.

Scientists at New Zealand's Waikato University have also proven this honey has the ability to strengthen your collagen cells, the proteins responsible for keeping your skin moist and soft, and stimulate skin cell renewal. Your skin will be rejuvenated!

Another ingredient I use daily in my skincare is Cynergy TK, this cutting edge ingredient contains Functional Keratin which is able to strengthen your bodies' proteins to keep your skin looking smooth and wrinkle free. It moisturizes your skin as it penetrates deeply to even out your skin tone and give you a smooth complexion.

Other great natural moisturizer ingredients include shea butter, avocado oil and others. Visit my website today to learn more about natural face and body moisturizers.

Do you allow your body time to heal? When you sleep, your body has an opportunity to repair itself. Your skin can repair the damage and stress it has endured during the day. Face night cream intensifies your body's efforts to heal. Since your skin deserves an opportunity to rejuvenate itself, here are some reasons to seriously consider using a face night cream:

1. Combat Radical Pollutants

Moisturiser

During the day, your face absorbs a plethora of harmful radical pollutants. This type of exposure can include automobile exhaust fumes, smog, industrial pollution, and even cigarette smoke. Your skin absorbs these harmful pollutants. You are also exposed to harsh external skin irritants like wind, cold winter air, and the harmful UV rays of the sun. The result? Premature signs of ageing. When you utilise a face night cream, you maximise your skin's ability to repair itself from the damaging pollutants it has absorbed throughout the day.

2. Replace Moisture

You may use a moisturiser each morning after a shower, but by night time it has most likely diminished. After exposure to dehydrating substances during the course of your day, your skin can be left rough and damaged. When you use a night cream you give your skin an opportunity to replace the moisture you've lost. Your skin also has a chance to heal through hydration.

3. Fight The Skin Ageing Process

A reduction in collagen and elastin are a major part of the skin ageing processes that the right face night cream can help combat. The older you become, the more these proteins diminish. As a result, your skin begins to lose its firmness and its youthful characteristics. Slowly, wrinkles begin to become more apparent. Night moisturisers are designed to slow down this process. An effective cream can stimulate your skin's collagen and elastin production while you rest each night. Since your body is already programmed to repair itself while you sleep, a face night cream can maximise your skin's natural process of rejuvenation.

4. Get an Extra Dose of Antioxidants While You Dream.

As you manoeuvre throughout your day, your skin is exposed to free radicals that can cause severe skin damage. A face night cream that is formulated with antioxidants can help your skin defend itself from this kind of damage. Whether your skin has been exposed to chemicals, tanning lamps, or toxins, an extra dose of antioxidants while you sleep can definitely help.

5. A Good Face Night Cream Gives Your Skin the Chance to Rebuild

Did you notice all of the construction work going on in your skin last night? Although you probably didn't notice it, it was there! Each night as you rest, your cells have a chance to rebuild and repair. When you use an effective face night cream, the formula applied can have an impact on the construction work your body is performing on a cellular level. As you sleep, your skin is getting a break from the harmful substances to which you are exposed on a daily basis. With the help of a face night cream, your skin has a chance to rebuild damaged cells and stimulate new cell growth.

Women are often accused of carrying too much 'rubbish' in their handbags but if we didn't carry such essentials then who else would?!

Below we've listed our top 20 items which should live in every woman's handbag - without these items we would be lost!

Moisturiser

Money - probably an obvious choice but how many times have you left the house and forgotten your purse? Get rid of your loose change instead of collecting it in a jar at home.

Mobile phone - what on earth did we do before mobile phones were invented? Well I guess we used smelly telephone boxes but that meant that people couldn't get hold of us if they were running late, also it meant that we would have to talk super fast before the beeps told us that the call was ending - urgh.

Credit card- a girl's best friend or a girl's worst enemy depending on how you look at it. Going on a shopping trip? Make sure you take your plastic friend with you for a little day out.

Shopper or old plastic bag - plastic bags are evil. Fact. When out shopping don't a) ruin your outfit by coordinating it with a tacky branded bag or b) add to the ever-increasing land fill problems by using up another plastic bag. Reuse an old plastic bag or use a cotton shopper that can fold up inside your handbag instead.

Book/magazine - you will regret not bringing a book with you when you're sat in a cafe/restaurant alone and have nothing to look at but the smoochy couple sat at the table next to you.

Diary - unless you have a fancy mobile phone you'll need something in your bag which acts as an organiser. Otherwise you'll forget what day of the week it is.

Makeup - how many times have you gone straight from work to a bar or restaurant feeling slightly 'naked' as the makeup on your face has miraculously disappeared? Don't let this happen again!

Tissues - toilets without paper, sneezes, hay fever...we all need tissues.

Tampon/San pads - don't be caught out again, make sure that you always have a tampon with you!

Pen - you'll need this to write in your diary or your number on his arm.

Keys - you don't want to be locked out do you? Then don't forget your keys.

MP3 player with headphones - sunny lunch hour in the park? Lonesome walk across the bridge? This needs a soundtrack.

Safety pins - why doesn't everyone keep at least one in their bag? Safety pins are so handy. Broken bra strap? No worries. Broken bag? No worries. Broken heart? Well we can't help you there...

Plasters - sore feet from painful shoes aren't pleasant at all and can actually ruin your day. Make sure you keep a couple of plasters in your bag. You'll be so grateful the day you need them.

Comb or hairbrush - cave woman chic? We don't think so. Tidy yourself up a little and keep your hair sleek.

Vaseline - great for dry lips, dry hands and getting a ring off your finger if it gets stuck.

Moisturiser with SPF - chapped dry skin isn't fun and neither is sunburn. Make sure you keep a mini bottle or sachet of moisturiser in your bag that contains a medium to high sun protection factor.

Sunglasses - for sunny days, hangovers and those who like to look a little mysterious.

Wet wipes - spillages, dirty hands, armpits - your choice.

Chewing gum/mints - keep fresh throughout the day, for your sake and everyone else's.
