Natural Cosmetics for Health Care


Interest and passion will womankind cosmetics can be traced from the time of Egypt around 4000 BC. In addition, the use of cosmetics can also be found in ancient Greek and Roman society.

While in the Victorian era, the use of cosmetics has come under fire from some quarters, opposite the 20th century saw human beings as a field of cosmetic industry is very profitable and can make money in large quantities with multinational companies. Feminists may be against it, but many believe that by wearing make-up person will appear more youthful, beautiful, and even enhances his sex appeal. Make up can change a person's appearance dramatically and is used by the actors and actresses at large, as well as a doctor who disguise the wound on his patients clinically. However, today is generally the women in the world using cosmetics in significant amounts.

Foundation or powder is used for the face look more smooth and conceal blemishes. A touch of lipstick to add color, shape, and fill in the lips, eye shadow and mascara are used so that the eyes look more character and appear larger. Currently, operating procedures and permanent makeup has also been possible to do thanks to the advancement of science.

Every advance in a field there must be a downside. This happens also in cosmetics. Lipstick can contain chemicals such as iron oxide, while the eye shadow contained carmine dye, a type of animal extracts. On one hand, the line between medicine and cosmetics have become blurred, so it may be when a person uses deodorant to support his appearance, someone else might see as a drug antiperspirant deodorant.

Complex then is, when a government health agency looking cosmetic products as pharmaceuticals, which require a permit and the process for circulating, but in reality cosmetic products actually escaped from supervision. On the other hand, cosmetic trials conducted on animals has been controversial activist for animal rights advocates. Tests in animals including for products such as lipstick or herb that is individualized. With the pressure from activist animal rights protectors, current rules on the use of animals for testing cosmetic ingredients can be suppressed.

Natural and organic cosmetics must be good for humans, is not it? The experts believe that as awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic cosmetic products began to grow, the cosmetic industry started to create a trend to advertise their products as a natural product, despite the fact that not the case. Do we have to worry about it? Yes, because the make-up, even if used outside the human body, will be absorbed by the body.

In fact, research has shown that nearly 60% of what is applied to the skin will be absorbed by the human circulatory system. So maybe the material contained in cosmetic products that contain toxic and will be absorbed by the human body. Several types of natural materials have been reported to cause rashes on the skin if used with some type of a given material. The experts recommend that consumers read the label carefully, do not be lured by promotions delivered, check for the effect is either too short or long term, and make wise choices.

Natural cosmetics should be free from synthetic and only extracts derived from plant oils, gums, essential oils, flower extracts, and herbs all of which is an option that is safe and healthy for the body. Dermatologists recommend that skin care is seen as health care, because being beautiful is not enough if not healthy, right?

Natural Cosmetic Ingredients, Really Effective?


Green tea, mushrooms, soy beans, is not only delicious but also healthy body. Today, a variety of cosmetic products incorporate such materials in the series of natural products. Really Effective?

Drinking green tea is one thing, rub it on the skin of another. According to experts. Since at least the length of the research is still needed to prove the benefits of food ingredients for beauty.

S Leslie Baumann, MD, an expert in cosmetic ingredients that scientific research is carried out by the marketing of beauty is still lacking. But he did not deny that the plants that contain antioxidants in the future will be the most important content in cosmetic products.

Several studies have indeed tested the efficacy of natural plants for beauty. For example, green tea and pomegranates are effective to protect the skin from dangerous sun rays. However, many natural beauty products that claim turned out to contain only a few natural ingredients that will not affect much.

"A drop of the active ingredients from plant extracts in cosmetic products weighing two ounces of almost no influence," said Thomas Bombeli, MD, a member of the International Society of Dermatology. According to him, many products contain natural ingredients and a small amount just for marketing purposes only.

In addition, consumers should understand that the label "natural", "organic", or "natural" is a marketing label that has not been regulated by the government. The experts also believe natural products are not necessarily better than synthetic products.

Some natural ingredients, according to Baumann, have side effects that need to be wary of. For example, essential oils, like rosemary, bargamot, or peppermint, that it can make sensitive skin irritation. "Coconut oil can also cause acne," he said.

If you want to tackle the wrinkles that have already graced the face, Baumann suggested that choose synthetic products.

"Antioxidants work to prevent wrinkles, rather than eliminate the wrinkles that already exist," said Baumann. To improve the condition of the skin, retinoids and vitamin A derived from extracts of citrus fruit produced in the laboratory that should be chosen. "They work more effectively than if you wear a mask made of carrots alone," he said.

Stress to Prevent Baby from the Gynecologist


Infants born to mothers are often high-fat diet while pregnant susceptible to stress.

The phrase 'eating for two' during pregnancy has a broader meaning than just physical health. A mother who ate high-fat menu during pregnancy tend to make the baby more aggressive or has excessive anxiety.

A study by the National Primate Research Center, in Beaverton, Oregon, found that monkey infants whose mothers have a high-fat diet during pregnancy are more susceptible to stress and anxiety compared with mothers who eat a healthy diet.

Although the study was conducted in monkeys, there are many similarities with pregnancy in humans. Therefore, there is proximity between human and primate physiology is, said as quoted by LiveScience Kevin Grove.

The study distinguishes the diet of a group of monkeys who are pregnant. One group of female monkeys with 35 percent fat diet, and other low-fat diet by 13 percent. When a baby is a month old, lead researcher Elinor Sullivan makes the baby in stressful conditions, namely the presence of a foreign man near the cages and new toys in their cages.

The result, of all babies, 78 percent of babies whose mothers ate a diet high in fat react with anxiety or more aggressive. While only 11 percent among infants monkey with low-fat diet mothers who showed a negative reaction.

Even more surprising, the researchers said, overweight mothers did not affect the baby but levels of diet during pregnancy. Mothers with an average weight but have a poor diet, lowering stress and anxiety to their babies after birth. Symptoms of anxiety can be reduced in infants if a mother to switch to a better diet during pregnancy.
