Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Question first as to: For what reason does one want to keep moisture in the skin? Then ask oneself: What am I doing that is drying my skin out? While not knowing all the processes, collagen formation in underlying tissues of the skin has much to do with natural skin, and skin not drying out, and wrinkling. Diet has the first thing to do with that. Diet goes bad, skin goes bad. But even if diet is good, if one undergoes constant overexposure to the sun, lets say, or even pollutants (detergents in soap) skin will dry out. So, perhaps, if "young" looking skin is the goal, then some sort of behavior that one has must be modified. That is, to keep one's skin "baby-soft." Another part of this is that exposure to the sun, also increases the vitamin d that one's body makes. This relates to much of a body's health. Mental health as well. Much to learn here. But, for myself (I'm unworried about "youthful" looking skin), I try to learn more about nutrition and doing that correctly. Use supplements as well. They do "do" things, especially while one learns what one needs to change both in diet and behavior. Vitamin c relates directly to collagen formation. Collagen is a essential to all tissue in the body. So, one can supplement with vitamin c (which is not the only thing necessary to collagen formation) or one can eat lots of fruit and vegetables and have a closer to natural diet and all the benefits that go along with that. For instance, the natural diet, besides more youthful skin, also gives one "more youthful" intestines and colon. More youthful circulatory system.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 An even better option that absorbs quickly into the skin is virgin coconut oil. Extremely healthy and does lovely things for the skin. A web search on glycerin might lead to info about it drying out skin. I am sorry I don't remember where I read it. It was in newsprint somewhere. Another thing that is awesome is Crystal Energy by Royal Body Care. A few drops of that in coconut oil or vit E oil or any oil and it emulsifies it and it super absorbs into the skin. That plus the anti oxidant properties of the CE and it makes a wonderful skin treatment.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I know. When I read it, it was in literature put out by a cosmetic company, which I cannot now remember the name of. It was a natural one and it was explaining many natural ingredients and why some were good and some were not. Donna - luckypig Saturday, July 26, 2003 7:16 AM Re: Rose Water-Glycerin Lotion Really?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi Ed. I whole heartedly agree. But I have had a really clean diet for years and good thyroid levels and dry skin for no apparent reason. So I have learned to help myself out with natural moisturizers. But something really way cool is happening. First of all, let me say that I have been addicted to lip moisturizers for years. I even wake up in the night to reapply as my lips just get so dry. Well since I have been rebounding and using a chi machine, suddenly my lips and skin are moister. Now I only use a lip balm about two times a day instead of once every hour or so and I don't use it at all at night. This is amazing. I recently took a course to become a certified lymphologist and in reading stuff on the net, outside the course, I learned that fats don't enter the blood stream from the bowel like minerals and proteins and other nutrients to. Instead they go into the lymphatic system from the bowel. The bowel is heavily integrated with lympatic vessels. And so by doing lympatic treatments I am moving my lymph and I am moist. Yipeeeeeeeee! What a lovely little side bonus.
