Anti Aging Organic Skincare
« Previous ArticlesNatural Beauty Secrets to make your own products!
Have you ever wanted to make your own beauty products but you don’t have the recipes?
I’ve been reading a lot lately that a lot of women were looking for recipes to prepare homemade beauty products to find a way to cut their beauty budget during the recession.
Homemade beauty products allow you to use all natural products at a fraction of the price of store bought products.
That said, it’s easier said than done when it comes to making your own skincare products at home and unless you have proven recipes you might end up with a big pile of mess.
Luckily, Leon’s Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets is a comprehensive compilation of beauty care secrets that has the power to change your life.

Review: Jurlique Biodynamic Beauty Serum is well worth the price!
There are a lot of great new clean and organic lines that I’ve tried and that I’ve liked a lot, but I would never give up on Jurlique and I would surely never pass the opportunity to talk about any new discoveries I’ve made.
Before I go further, no, Jurlique is not a recession-proof line. This will be considerably more expensive than the lines you buy at the drugstore. If these are difficult financial times for you, this might not be the right line for you for right now. That said, it’s good to have this information on hand because regardless of your current financial situation, things will get better.

Jurlique launched a new eye cream
Jurlique has recently undergone a complete facelift of their packaging and they’ve also introduced a few new products to the line. Don’t worry, the quality has not changed, the entire line is still paraben-free, organic and biodynamic. A little packaging-rejuvenation has done nothing to alter the company’s commitment to consciously-chosen ingredients and resources.

Industry certification for organic skincare and makeup products in North America
Yup, that means that sometimes it says organic…but it’s not quite that organic. Sometimes it’s just one product that’s organic, but some manufacturers have a nice sleek way of presenting that lonely ingredient in a way that might make you think that ALL the ingredients are organic.
Cosmetic giants by L’Oreal Paris, Estee Lauder, and Aveda are among the companies who have created a new regulatory body called OASIS. OASIS is the first U.S. industry standard that will have the task of certifying organic beauty products.
Uvalla is a French organic skincare line that is now available to North Americans
I still remember when I first started using organic skincare, there were very few lines and most of them didn’t even bother including a range of anti-aging skincare products. Things have come a long way in the world of organic skincare and it’s partially thanks to pioneer companies such as Dr. Hauschka Skin Care and Jurlique Skin Care.
Today, we can thank the Brits for producing more organic skincare than any other country. If you’ve been reading my posts lately you’ll notice that August is looking like “organic” and “clean” skincare month.
I’m about to add to the already long list of organic skincare products I’ve reviewed from England!
Nude Skincare: organic and very eco-friendly!
Nude is another line that I’ve been trying lately and I quite like it because it’s ideal for my sensitive skin.
Nude is part of the strong new trend we see coming from the U.K. If you’ve noticed lately, I’ve been featuring a lot of brands from the U.K. The Brits are taking up organic skincare with a vengeance and Nude Skincare is testament of the strength of this movement.
Nude Skincare is organic and very eco-conscious.

Sophyto Organics: a new British organic skincare line is launching in North America
Sophyto is the newest organic skincare line to cross the Atlantic and land on our shores.
Since I already highlighted the importance of reading labels, I thought I’d highlight the fact that Sophyto Organic products are certified by the U.K. Soil Association. In fact, the Sophyto line is created from exceptional high levels of certified organic ingredients, which average 95 per cent+!
British naturally active skincare line, Liz Earle, is available in North America
The interesting thing with Liz Earle who is the brain behind Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare is the fact that this former British successful health and beauty editor, beauty journalist and TV broadcaster is the author of 30 beauty books! Liz has a lot of experience in the world of botanical ingredients, natural health and well being and she’s been able to put that expertise into play in her skincare line.
The U.K. is the organic skincare capital of the world!
A staggering 200 brands were launched in the U.K. last year! And a number of those brands are now available in the U.S. and in Canada.
This should be great news that so many companies are choosing to use better quality ingredients in their products, right? That would be the idea if all of the products launched under the “organic” label were in fact organic.
Yup, it seems that since there is no legal definition of what “organic” really means, the only way to know that you are actually buying organic products is to read the label.

An organic facial using Jurlique organic products
Not long ago, I was able to conciliate my love for Jurlique products with one of my favourite down-time activities: a facial!
Pure + Simple Spa offers a Jurlique Deep Pore Rejuvenation Facial … using all Jurlique products!
We’ve had the great pleasure of interviewing Kristen Ma, co-owner of Pure + Simple a number of times and not long ago she was responsible for making my skin glow thanks to their signature sea salt microdermabrasion and she did an equally stellar job with this Jurlique facial.

Does your makeup contain mercury?
Earlier this year, Minnesota became the first U.S. state to ban mercury in mascara and other cosmetic products. There is no word yet if Canada will follow the example set by that state or not.
That’s a great initiative, but the problem is that knowing and detecting if a specific brand of mascara or makeup contains mercury or not is not an easy task.
Even if you try to read the label of your favourite eye product to see if mercury has been added, you might not find it because mercury isn’t listed as an ingredient on labels.
It might be surprising to find out that cosmetic companies (legally) use mercury in eye products because it’s a preservative and germ-killer. That said, it’s important to keep in mind that mercury can cause serious neurological problems and many believe that it can do damage in even the tiniest amounts.
