There are very few hypoallergenic products.  In fact, there are no hypoallergenic products, because there is always someone that is allergic to anything.  That being said, so called “hypoallergenic” products generally speaking tend to use ingredients that in most clinical studies have shown little to no reaction with even sensitive skin types that have been tested.  These ingredients are not like retinol or benzoyl peroxide or alcohols, which are likely to irritate and dry out while damaging the skin.  They are more like jojoba oil, which has no toxicity, and unless you are allergic, will not cause problems in general.  They are like baby wipes in some ways in even gentler forms.  There are makeups of course. 

But there is one line that I would recommend if you have seriously sensitive skin.  It is called Epuri, and frankly it uses only extremely natural ingredients.  I would start out with their water moisturizer.  It basically turns into water on your skin while still managing to lightly and effectively moisturize the skin unlike water in and of itself could do.  After that, of course you can try their other products, and they have a number of different choices depending on what you need.  But all of their products are equally gentle and equally pH balanced for that matter.

Green tea has been largely recognized in many Asian cultures for centuries and years before.  It has been used in traditional medicine and more recently it has been used in Western medicine.  But one of the things it has been used to do quite recently is to prevent aging and also to prevent scarring and skin damage in general such as age spots.  It is a powerful antioxidant blend, and it can obviously kill off free radicals, which means that it kills off many of the things actually causing premature aging in the first place. 

It has also been used to reduce puffy eyes or bags under the eyes.  After all, it also works as an antiseptic and reduces inflammation which calms the eyes in general.  Cold tea bags can easily be replaced to a larger degree, and they have been used to treat problems around the eyes in general while preventing future problems as a whole.  This natural treatment is sometimes combined with other treatments.  But in large part, it is actually used on its own.  So in short, you can use it for many skin problems as a whole to get the benefits you are really looking for.

Shea butter has been a big topic in some wrinkle fighting circles from what I’ve heard, and sometimes I have to wonder what is the big deal?  It’s just a moisturizer after all, so what really makes it different than say a regular and common moisturizer like dimethicone?  Apparently, shea butter has some extra properties not found with those products.  For example, it is found in Central and West Africa.  It is extracted by hand, and then it is refined. 

Because of its content of vitamins among other things, it has been able to heal certain skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis for example, and it has been able to aid the natural healing process of the skin in general, leaving it soft, smooth, and free of certain problems in general.  It has also been used for rashes, burns, sunburns, dry and itchy skin, and otherwise.  Some have also used it for rheumatoid arthritis.  Either way, with all the vitamins and minerals as well as the proper moisturizers, it can definitely keep the skin younger if used as a maintenance type product.  However, it will not actually reduce wrinkles and otherwise that are already present if you are wondering about  that.

Rooibos tea is a South African tea, and quite frankly it’s one of my favorite teas.  I have used it for quite a while, and it has really helped in so many ways to improve my health in so many ways.  I mean who can really get better when it apparently has high levels of antioxidants and it has been used to relieve anxiety, asthma, hay fever, stomach cramps, irritable bowel syndrome, boost the immune system, cure insomnia, and it has even been used to help colic prone infants. 

Free radicals are often known for causing premature aging and dull skin in general.  So that in itself could be a bit benefit for obvious reasons, and it works this way whether applied directly to the skin or drunk for that matter.  It is also rich in copper, potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and fluoride.  It has shown up in many recent skincare as well as weight loss products in general, and it continues to gain some amount of steam and popularity in general.  So I would highly recommend drinking Rooibos tea, if only for the taste that I like.  However, if you’ve drunk the Costco bolthouse drinks that are Rooibos, that is not actually the taste, that’s more attributed to the fruits they happen to use.

There are top 10 superfoods, top foods that pack a wallop, there are plenty of sets of food like this.  But now they are saying that there are 6 major foods that keep you feeling younger on the inside.  It’s quite entertaining.  Of course, there are foods that can help you to maintain better health, I’m just wondering which ones in particular they actually picked. 

They started out with berries in general, because they really are generally packed with vitamins and antioxidants, both of which can nourish your skin while also protecting it from further damage. 

Second, they listed garlic, which is generally associated with the heart, but I suppose it could help with your skin by keeping blood flow and circulation going. 

Third, they listed turmeric, an old Indian remedy that has been known to help the skin to heal faster and otherwise regenerate itself. 

Fourth comes beans because they are rich in omega 3 fatty acids as well as other proteins that help to really moisturize and regulate the skin. 

And finally they list tomatoes, because they are often rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been known to prevent the common signs of premature aging.  All in all, these aren’t bad foods, and if you would like to protect your skin, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use them in various ways such as eating them and using them in a homemade facial mask.

There are plenty of people with sensitive skin types.  Sometimes it just requires wearing a little bit more sunscreen when you go outside, and sometimes it’s something else.  Sometimes it means not using harsh chemicals like benzoyl peroxide, and sometimes it means having a severe allergic reaction to just about everything.  But all in all, if you are going to prevent wrinkles, treat your skin, and otherwise improve your skin, you have to have a good moisturizer.  It’s a simple fact of life.  And unless you are allergic to something highly unusual, there is one basic type of moisturizer that should work for everybody. 

They’re based around water, which is why I say unless you are allergic to something highly unusual, you won’t have a reaction to this.  Many find them to be the gentlest possible moisturizers, even if you don’t have sensitive skin, and they literally turn to water as they spread across your face.  But they leave the skin moisturized, soft, and otherwise covered as far as the results you are actually looking for.  So it’s definitely something to consider no matter your skin type to use a water based moisturizer, which at the very least won’t clog your pores or cause those particular problems.

There are so many now calling themselves medical spas.  They claim to provide everything from lunchtime lipo to microdermabrasion with doctors and nurses, which is in so many ways a justification to charge you more money for the same thing.  Granted, in this economy some have been paying with a check which then bounced and went nowhere to get services still the same.  But still, so many provide the same things you could find at a beauty salon with a beautician who had been through a little extra training. 

Or the procedures they use are flat out fraudulent or dangerous.  It’s one of those things of take your pick.  But any way you look at it, you might want to reconsider going into your local “medical spa.”  They make quite a bit of money off of you even though they can’t provide things such as an actual facelift.  They’re not actually qualified surgeons or anything like that.  The biggest risk is just getting ripped off.  But there are bigger risks associated with some procedures carried out in so called medical spas that you have to worry about to a greater degree.  It’s just a matter of knowing what they are at this point in time.

Olive oil is one of the best foods in some ways to improve your skin and body.  Some have used it to detoxify their body, but that also requires you to use a certain amount per day for the rest of your life.  For one thing, it could actually improve the digestion mechanisms in the body.  This will allow the food to digest better and it will also give you the healthy fatty acids.  Healthy fatty acids actually help you to improve your skin in general terms while it also provides skin healthy vitamins such as vitamin A.  Olive oil can also help you to absorb these and other vitamins in general terms, while also helping with constipation. 

Finally, it helps specifically in your anti aging efforts in general.  It can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles partly by killing off free radicals and partly by actually conditioning the skin in various ways.  There are various claims about how the olive oil works.  But it has definitely been shown to moisturize and protect the skin in general terms.  With the vitamins, good fatty acids, and otherwise, olive oil is able to give you the benefits you need and want without such a astruggle that you may otherwise expect.

There are times when if I hear someone I know say that they have cellulite one more time, I am going to beat them.  I mean it, they are like wrinkles in some ways, but cellulite, there’s really no proven way to get rid of it.  Whenever I hear them complain about cellulite, they always say it’s because they’re fat, and of course they never are.  Frankly, cellulite has nothing to do with fat.  It can occur in the ultra skinny or the ultra fat, and frankly sometimes the obese individuals out there don’t have it at all. 

It’s a thin layer of fat that gets just beneath the skin to give you that cottage cheese look, and it can affect any area of the body, often being unfair to say the least.  After all, if you are slim and even sporting in some cases, you would think that fat wouldn’t collect and it wouldn’t show like that.  There are some who have recently stated that laser treatments may be appropriate for your needs in getting rid of these fat cells.  But that is still to some degree questionable, and moreover, it’s actually a rather expensive procedure to undergo in general.

I’ve had a lot of questions about sunless tanners lately.  People want to protect their skin from the sun not only to prevent wrinkles, but also to prevent skin cancer among other things.  But at the same point in time, they don’t want to look pasty white at the same time.  They want a certain healthy glow or otherwise tan, and they don’t want to sacrifice either one for the other.  So I looked into them.  There are pills, creams, etc, and frankly the creams are the best option as are the sprays in salons.  You just have to make sure you are actually applying them evenly, that’s the big thing realistically speaking. 

But also they basically accelerate the rate at which your skin tans or in some cases they just cover it up while sometimes even using sunscreens to protect, which is the best way to go.  But the pills are not to be used without caution.  There are those pills that will accelerate the tanning process, and in a big way they are middle of the road.  However, there are also those that actually artificially tan your skin.  Unfortunately, when you do this with a pill you take the chance of coloring your eyes with little dots or otherwise suffering quite embarrassing and serious side effects.  The spots in your eyes can last for years at a time.  So definitely try the outer options.
