Has anyone else ever noticed that natural skincare products…?

Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup  :  Category: natural skincare

Always seem to work the best? I mean, I do use some unnatural products on my face but not very much and the natural products just seem to do the job very well. Who else noticed this?

I agree, natural ingredients are more gentle and work well with our skin. Although most skin care products that contain natural/anti-oxidants are more expensive, they’re definitely worth the price. If a product is too chemical based, there’s never a guarantee that our skin will work well with it, and it has a greater chance of affecting our skin in negative ways. This is why I prefer to do home made facial masks out of the ingredients that can come naturally from my refrigerator than from a lab.

Best Certified Organic & Cruelty-Free cosmetics?

Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup  :  Category: organic cosmetics

I’ve been searching around to make the switch to using certified organic make up that is also cruelty-free and I’m finding trouble determining which brands are best and true. I mostly don’t like wearing make up anyway, but sometimes I have days where I just feel like it. I currently use Organic Wear powder and mascara, both do okay, but there’s room for improvement and it’s also not certified organic. I’m looking for foundation, powder, spot concealer (if possible), liquid eyeliner, and mascara that work for my combination skin. I don’t want to pay buckets of money for my make up, but if there’s products that work really well I’m willing to pay the extra. Online or Washington state stores please
caring about what goes on my skin is not "hipster." There are lots of chemicals that go into make up products that can cause cancer and other problems. I’d like to avoid that.

I work at the Alderwood Mall in Washington state my dear!! so you are right up my alley! Your best bet, i think, would be to check out Origins. they use all natural products and have some that are certified by the USDA as pure organic products. this is how natural they are–they do not offer a waterproof mascara because it is impossible to chemically create a product using all natural elements. Their foundation is AMAZING and provides great coverage, and their concealer is one of my top favorites. After working in the Cosmetics department at macy’s i have tried MANY concealers, and still origins impresses me. It is very full coverage! Its about 14 dollars and is made with natural products. Even Paula Begoun the "cosmetics cop" rates highly the origins concealer! check out the website and look at some reviews @ www.origins.com

hope this helped!! if you have any other questions email me!! Eclecticblonde83@hotmail.com

Natural Cosmetics??`?

Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup  :  Category: natural cosmetics

I want to try natural/organic makeup. Are there any brands I can get from drugstores? I don’t have a sephora or macys or really anything convenient in my tiny town.

Seeing as there are not many makeup venues in your town, maybe you could order it off the internet? I did a search for natural organic makeup on google and there are lots of brands, its just up to you to decide :D

Your Search For Aging Skincare Products

Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup  :  Category: organic skincare

One way to be sure that you are finding the right aging skincare product for your face is to do a little experimentation. There are many products on the market and you will find yourself rating skincare products to find the best one for you. This is one the best ways to find the right products, but it is not the most efficient or economical way. If you research the types of ingredients used in the skincare products you try, then you will greatly increase your chances of finding an effective product. This article will discuss some things that can help you in your search.

The first thing that you should do when you are looking for aging skincare products is get some information and an education on the different approaches to skincare. There are name brand skincare products, natural skincare products, organic skincare and every other type of approach that you can think of. If you are looking for a skincare line that will work for you, then it is important that you select an approach.

For natural aging skincare products, you can select to make the products on your own from all natural ingredients or you can purchase products that contain the right natural ingredients. If you are planning to make your own, the research that you conduct will be essential information that you will need when you are making your skincare products. Look for the known ingredients that have been proven to be effective and gather your materials. Clinical trials on specific ingredients are widely published, but may be difficult to find. Good quality skin care companies will conduct their own clinical trials of natural ingredients to ensure their products are the best they can be.

Whether you are choosing to make your own or try some of the products that are available for sale, you should try each one for a period of time. Give the product a couple of weeks to be effective before you determine that you like it or not. You will not see results overnight from any product no matter what the advertisements tell you. But you should begin to feel the texture of your skin change and the look will begin to soften and look clearer and more glowing after a couple of weeks. Try each line of products one at a time so that you are not confused about the product that is giving you results.

When you are rating skincare products for aging skincare, you should keep track of the results that you experienced with each one. Even if you find a product that worked reasonably well, you can still continue to search for the one that works exceptionally well. It is this kind of pursuit that will give you the product that will work wonders on your skin.

Remember, when it comes to aging skincare, you don’t have to settle for ones that don’t work for you. You can conduct your own research and find the right approach for you.

Your List of Organic Gardening Supplies

Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup  :  Category: organic make up

Now that you know why you should grow your vegetables organically you are now probably wondering how to do that.  Getting your organic garden started is easier than you think especially since you do not have to worry about stocking up on expensive, potentially dangerous, chemical fertilizers and other items.  Most of the things you will need to start your organic garden are already in your house or easy to get.

Be sure you plan things carefully and do not just get some seeds or plants and start digging up your yard.  That piece of advice will probably be repeated in this e-book because that is usually the mistake most beginner gardeners make.  In order to have a successful organic garden you need to take your time and plan everything out careful.

1.    Space

Before you can start growing your organic vegetables you will need a place to plant them.  This choice is going to be based largely on your living situation.  If you are in a townhouse or apartment or even a house without a suitable yard then you will want to consider using pots.  It is possible to grow many small vegetables in pots or containers that come in a wide variety of sizes.

If you do not already have pots or containers that are suitable for growing plants you can order them online for surprisingly low prices or pick them up from your nursery.  Make sure you look around your house before you spend your money.  You might be surprised to find that you have several suitable items or old plant pots that you have forgotten about.

If you are someone with a home that has a large yard then you have more options.  You can start your organic garden in any location that you feel will be suitable for growing plants.  One thing to remember when picking out an area of your yard for growing organic vegetables is to choose a location that will get a good amount of sunlight during the entire day.

Finding out the best spot based on lighting will require a few days of careful observation but it will be worth it if you can find a good spot in which to start your organic vegetable garden.

The size of your organic vegetable garden is entirely up to you and based on the amount of available space that you have at your disposal.  Do not be afraid to start a small garden and build up to a large one and do not be discouraged if you feel you do not have as much space as you would like for your new garden.  You are just starting out and working with the resources that are currently available.

2.    Soil

Good soil is the second thing that you need to get your organic vegetable garden going and this is probably the most important part of your new garden.  The soil you choose must be rich and fertile if you want your vegetables to grow healthy and strong.  If the soil in your garden seems thin or unsuitable do not give up hope yet.  There are ways to make the available soil more fertile and perfect for gardening that will be explained in a minute.

Remember, you must NOT use any chemical fertilizer in your new organic vegetable garden!

Most new organic vegetable growers are first tempted to use chemicals when they are inspecting the quality of their available soil.  It is tempting to go purchase a bag of soil that is packed with chemical fertilizers if your own soil does not seem rich enough.  This is a big step in the wrong direction and must be avoided at all costs.  There are ways to make your soil rich and suitable for growing that does not involve using expensive, and sometimes hazard, outside chemicals.

If you are growing your plants in pots or organic containers on a back patio or window sill getting soil might take a bit more effort.  Soil can be obtained from willing neighbors or family members that have their own yards.  Simply ask for some soil and shovel it into your waiting container. 

When that is not an option consider purchasing organic soil from a garden supply shop.  There are places that sell soil with no chemical fertilizers.  This might be an additional start cost not incurred by those with their own back yards but it will be worth it.

By having your own purchased organic soil you will be able to fill your pots and containers then plant your seeds when it suits you.  Another benefit of using pots and containers is that your soil temperature will not be at the mercy of the ground temperature. 

3.    Compost

Compost is something that you will need to help your garden thrive especially if your soil is not as fertile as you would have hoped.  Rich compost will give your soil the minerals necessary to help your vegetables grow and thrive during the growing seasons.  It is easy to make compost using materials that you have on hand especially if you have your own backyard or access to an outdoor area.

In order to create your own organic compost you will need to first dig a pit or two (depending on the size of your garden) in your back yard.

Once your pit has been dug fill it with the following refuse from your kitchen:

Vegetable Peels

Fruit Peals

Leaves

Bark

Needles

Egg Shells

Coffee Grinds

Corn Stalks
