Evening Primrose Oil and natural cosmetic alive!

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:35:59 +0000

Primrose oil, known as evening primrose oil is one of the most important nature provides us for skin care.

The plant and the seeds of evening primrose or Oenethera have been used for centuries by Native Americans. They used the plant in hot water as an infusion for healing wounds, skin problems and even asthma.

The plant is native to North America and is a popular garden plant that has adapted well to different parts of Europe and Asia. Although recently appeared in Europe since the eighteenth century. His name “evening primrose”, is due to the pale yellow flowers that open in the afternoon.

It is also often called Primula (Primula spp.), Another plant with which it is often confusing, thanks to the primrose English term derived from the Greek “oinos” (wine) and “There” (snake). And is that a very old legend attached to the Primrose, the property to tame wild animals when I was steeped in wine.

The “Evening primrose oil” or primrose, the same used by the Native Americans, now to become fashionable. The common evening primrose seeds contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare essential fatty acid, prostaglandins direct (hormones), which is used to reduce the pain of PMS.

This oil is a regulator of the hormonal system and its regular intake (two to three times a year for twenty consecutive days) will help in cases of eczema, psoriasis and acne. But it also has anti-aging and promotes regeneration of skin wrinkles.

Evening primrose oil contains 88.5% of polyunsaturated fatty acids or essential fatty acids (also called “Vitamin F” by some scholars). And while other oils also contain evening primrose has the particularity to contain gamma-linolenic acid in preformed state, which saves a step in the body in the process of transforming fatty acids into prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 or).

It is precisely for this reason that polyunsaturated fatty acids are important and essential, because our body does not produce them and without them, no prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are biologically active substances (which are formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids) that have a short life (less than 5 minutes). These are generated in most body cells when the cell membrane stimulation occurs.

Today we know about 15 types of prostaglandins. But when it comes to evening primrose oil we import a: PGE1.

The PGE1 was formed from linolenic acid contained in evening primrose oil, and is involved in the processes of pain, inflammation and fever. Among the actions attributed to them are the following:

• To prevent thrombosis and reduce blood pressure
• Dilate blood vessels and alleviate atherosclerosis
• Reduce the speed of processing of cholesterol
• Allow for greater efficiency to insulin
• Prevent and control inflammation of arthritis
• In laboratory conditions, stop the growth of cancer cells
• Relieve mental and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome
• Action soothing sedative and central nervous system
• Stimulate the production of neurotransmitters
• To promote the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K)
• And most important of all: to regulate the actions of another prostaglandin, PGE2 (which has the opposite effect on PGE1)

Partly because of this, evening primrose oil is so good.

Preventing sun spots on face

Spots on the face or faces can be prevented in most cases and easy to do. Recall that the spots on the skin are due to several factors including:

1 – Hormonal changes that occur in pregnancy or taking birth control aggravate susceptibility to stains, but who the darkened sun.

2 – There are other reasons for the spots one of them is to suffer a burn. Acne scars are in these cases there is a risk of hyperpigmentation, but it’s the sun that will take care of darken. Therefore the most important thing is to protect against this foe so hot.

It is important to protect the sun as much as using sunscreen, avoiding it.

How to avoid stains on the face

1 – The sun should not be taken between 11 AM and 3 PM because at this time is more intense. When we go to the beach or simply have outdoor activities is best made in the morning or after 3 PM.
The scars of pimples, blackheads or scratches can leave stains if exposed to the sun constantly. If you have scars is even more important to protect from the sun.

2 – Do not use alcohol in the sun. These products include some cosmetics and most of all perfumes. If you expose to direct sunlight is best to get these perfumes under clothing or not using them.

3 – On the beach: we all love the beach and there is no reason to deprive us of it but follow the above advice and use sunscreen. If you want a tan the safest way is to use a self tanner.

4 – When we swim we recommend using a sunscreen, waterproof. But remember that nothing is 100% waterproof so you have to reapply to get out of this.

5 – is recommended to apply sunscreen 15 to 20 minutes before going outside.

6 – If you’re on the beach and feel irritated skin from the sun must be removed and applied a soothing cream. One of the best natural remedies for this is the aloe.

7 – If sunburn should immediately treat sunburn if not treated in time continue to act for almost 24 later. In other words, the sun is still burning skin after quitting for 24 receiving.

The spots on the skin are not 100% preventable but they are not infallible and with a little care can prevent them especially in our family tends to develop them.

Gold As Cosmetic

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:02:51 +0000

More and more often we see creams or treatments that have gold in their content. It is sometimes visible and sometimes not, but they spread a lot of these products. It appears, from ancient times it has been used in cosmetics, at least in some parts of the world, and obviously in very limited quantities.

Then I did a small research staff, with some well-known beautician, to see the rationale for its use for these purposes.

It appears that gives luminosity to the skin, has anti-aging and nourishing effect. But its power of penetration into the skin is very limited. Of course that favors the penetration of other substances containing cosmetic.

Therefore, if the cosmetic chemical design is right, the gold support and much, allowing penetration of these products.

My recommendation is to consult a beautician of confidence for each particular product.

Cosmetics are adult toys so often prefer to use expensive brand, is a way to indulge a little bit is okay. But if you want to save money without sacrificing quality this list will give you ideas.

Products in which it is better to spend more:

Makeup base or foundation

Lately there are many options for bases at low prices, the quality is very good but is difficult under artificial lights in discount stores or a pharmacy without testers find the perfect color for your skin. These brands are L’Oreal True Match foundation and make up.

The base should be the same color or close to it to look good. For this reason it is preferable to pay more and go to a counter for an expert to help you identify the best color for you. In our opinion, SEPHORA and MAC have the best trained in the U.S., another brand with high quality base is PRESCRIPTIVES.

Special moisturizers and eye creams

Recently, low-priced moisturizers are using many of the active ingredients of the expensive creams. In some cases they are as good as the wetting of some expensive brands. Cheap and controversial ingredients such as mineral oil are disappearing. But the active ingredients are used in very small quantities for safety more than anything so if you want a moisturizer to prevent premature wrinkles is better to buy more expensive brand is not necessarily the most expensive but good quality.

Masks and peels

In addition to face masks sold in stores have the option of using natural masks. If the purchase price of products used moderate or high. Some masks are not cheap moisturizing ingredients have powerful scents and colors of low quality that irritate the skin.
