1)Understanding Skin Care Ingredients

The use of chemicals in cosmetics and skin care products is something we hear about more and more. Some natural alternatives to chemicals exist, but many cosmetic companies won't use them because they are more costly and less readily available. While most products cannot be 100 percent natural (because of bacterial growth), many natural alternatives to harsh chemicals can be helpful and effective in skin care.

2)Benefits of Peptides 

Peptides are strings of amino acids, held together by nitrogen and carbon bonds. Under the microscope, they have a similar appearance to a string of pearls. Peptides have been around since the birth of tissue, and scientists recognize them as the building blocks of life. In the skin, peptides occur naturally to keep the skin firm. In skin care products, lab-created peptides work from the inside out to address a host of facial issues, especially wrinkles.

1) ​The Role of pH
Within our body and skin lives a delicate balance between acid and alkali, otherwise known as our pH. A pH number indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a specific solution. The body and skin are very sensitive to their pH levels and have complex systems that work to maintain an acidic pH for the skin and an alkaline pH for the body.

2) Stop Biting Your Nails
Breaking a nail is one thing. Breaking a nail-biting habit is another. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nail biting typically begins in childhood and can continue through adulthood, and the side effects can be more than cosmetic.

3) Don't Get Sick!
Regardless of whether the threat is a simple cold or the flu, there are several things you can do to protect yourself from unnecessary downtime.

In this month's issue: 

1) Your Skin Tells a Story
Centuries ago, Eastern cultures mapped and documented the intricate and deep relationship between the skin and the body's organs and systems, noting that the skin displays clues as to what types of stresses or malfunctions may exist and persist internally. 

2)The Wonders of Water
Creams, nutritional supplements, treatments, lotions, and potions. We are always looking for the next miracle product to keep skin looking healthy and young. However, there is one essential, inexpensive, and often overlooked nutrient right at your fingertips: water.

3)Long Live Cells with Vitamin E
A good skin care regimen is comprised of an antioxidant-rich diet and vitamin/mineral supplementation that includes vitamin E -- an essential key to a healthy complexion. Vitamin E is unique in that it's not one vitamin, but a family of eight fat-soluble antioxidants, including four types of tocopherols and four types of tocotrienols -- alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Alpha-tocopherol is the most common and most potent form of vitamin E. 

In this month issue of the Leading Lady Newsletter, we discuss the following topics: 
1) Eliminating Brown Spots: Even Out Your Skin Tone with Good Care
Many people develop brown spots on their skin over time, especially if they've had a trauma to their skin or spent much time in the sun. The term for these spots is hyperpigmentation, which describes an excess of pigment in the skin. Often an early sign of aging, they may first appear on the backs of hands. These spots can be faded, but patience for the process is required because repeated treatments will be necessary. It takes regular use of sunscreen to keep hyperpigmentation from returning.
2)Enzyme Power
As we age, natural exfoliation can take up to 40 days or more, which leads to a buildup of dead skin cells. This means fine lines, uneven skin tone, and in some cases, acne. Incorporating natural fruit enzymes into your skin care regimen is a great way to clean, correct, and polish the skin, as well as deliver nutrition to skin cells.
