Best Moisturizer
Normal healthy skin should have a pH range of 4.2 to 6.5 pH…..not being too acidic or too alkaline. And your facial cleanser creams, moisturizers, and anti aging creams should also be within this range. At this level, the acid mantle (the skin surface) is in good condition and is able to protect the skin from damaging elements of the environment like wind, sun, dehydration, or bacteria.
The main reason we use moisturizers is to keep water in the skin and keep it hydrated. Some manufactures claim that their moisturizer will eliminate fine lines and wrinkles however; these claims are somewhat deceptive and are based on the fact that people think there is a connection between dry skin and wrinkles
The purpose of good face moisturizers is to feed and nourish the skin, keeping it soft, plump, and supple and to prevent a dry skin condition from progressing to eczema, psoriasis or worse an infected skin rash. Face moisturizers can make the skin look better and healthier - which is why it’s important to use one especially formulated for your skin type.
So what type of moisturizer should you use for health, plump skin? Well, first it should provide continuous hydration. What good is a moisturizer, if it rubs off, wears off, or washes of easily? Therefore it should be water-proof. Second, it should also have a potent delivery system so it penetrates the skin for optimum results. A lyphazome delivery technology is best. Lyphazome are natural nanospheres, and are only 1/50th the size of human skin cells, so they are able to penetrate the epidermis, delivering ingredients deep into the skin, where they are most effective.
Third, it should be highly concentrated. Your moisturizer should have a natural nanotechnology allowing at least 80 percent of bioactive- and moisture-loaded reach their target, providing 75 times the concentration found in other encapsulation products.

Mineral Makeup: How They Are Made
Mineral makeup are beauty products, such as foundations, blushes, eye liners, lipsticks, mascara and other cosmetics which are made from 100% finely ground minerals from the Earth and does not contain the usual chemicals that can irritate or harm the skin. These mineral cosmetics are talc and dye free, and contain no fragrance, silicones, mica, rice powders, oils, wax and fillers. It is because of this that mineral makeup is gaining a widespread popularity from the makeup industry; especially with the fact that they have been shown to improve skin health and contains no ingredients that are harsh to the skin.
The more well-known and reputable companies in the makeup industry are Bare Essentials and Bare Minerals, which are with the company Bare Escentuals. They have a considerable share in advertisement airtime on many television and home shopping stations. The cosmetic products they offer in the market contain no binders or fillers and appear incredibly weightless. Makeup products coming from these reputable companies offer quality products and stay loyal to their concept of giving women safe and natural cosmetics.
Mineral cosmetics are compatible for a wide range of skin types; from dry to oily skin, flaky and hypersensitive skins. These cosmetic products are created from authentic Earth minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, including heat-absorbing iron and go through sterilization and finely ground until powdery.
The components of mineral makeup lend this beauty product superb protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays, and are capable of soothing and calming the skin, as well as preventing it from inflammation or irritation. It also keeps the natural moisture in your skin as it protects it from harmful contaminants and impurities.
These beauty products are excellent tools for concealing dark and red spots in the skin, including acne or pimple scars and damaged capillaries. They also have the capability to cloak unsightly marks in the skin and discoloration while covering red spots and balancing skin tone. Should you have an oily skin, it is an ideal makeup for you since the oil is easily collected by the minerals. And because these beauty products do not contain oils or talc, you have a good reason not to worry about clogged skin pores.
Many skin experts actually believe that mineral makeup can be safely used for those who have recently undergone major skin treatments like skin peeling and plastic surgery while canceling the risk of getting any allergic reaction or inflammation. But one must remember that there is slim line dividing makeup as a healthy beauty product and as a cosmetic that can be used even as you sleep. This is the reason why there is no absolute “safe” choice when it comes to makeup.
Dermatologists particularly recommend mineral cosmetics for individuals afflicted with serious cases of acne, eczema and other skin allergies since the mineral ingredients contained in it are capable of nourishing and healing the skin with surprising results. They also work well for adult skins by concealing fine lines and wrinkles in the face because the makeup works well in reflecting light.
One must also take note that not all mineral cosmetics are manufactured identically; they can be classified into two types. The first type is the ones which are not having any artificial colors, talc or other harsh substances capable of irritating the skin just as discussed previously.
The second type includes makeup that, although labeled as mineral makeup, still has traces and some amounts of talc, fillers, oil and other harsh ingredients that it is not supposed to have. So one must be careful when buying and using mineral cosmetics; read labels to make sure that you are getting makeup that is suitable to your skin type and do some research for a better understanding on how to properly use them.
