Children's products - do you know what's in them?

 

Choose safe ingredients for young skin

In July and August of 2007, EWG surveyed more than 3,300 parents to find out what shampoos, lotions, bath soaps and other personal care products their children use.

Based on the specific products named by these parents, we found that children are exposed to an average of 61 different chemical ingredients every day, many of which have not been found safe for children by the government or the cosmetic industry’s expert safety panel.

Due to gaping loopholes in federal law, cosmetics companies can put almost any ingredient they choose into their products, with no requirement to safety test. Companies can also claim that their products are gentle and natural even when they contain artificial chemical ingredients or harsh skin irritants. (Read more)

Exposures to harmful chemicals during childhood pose concern because children are more vulnerable to chemicals than are adults. In many ways, children are like sponges for chemicals. Children’s skin is 30 percent thinner than an adults’, on average, and can absorb greater amounts of chemicals from the skin surface. They breathe in more air (and air contaminants) relative to their weight than adults, and the blood-brain barrier that helps block chemicals from penetrating brain tissue is not fully formed until a baby reaches six months of age.

Parents must be particularly careful to choose safe products for their children.

Yoga is more than trendy!

From a yoga perspective, good health starts within. All yogic practices help to keep your skin healthy and radiant.

Yoga encourages you to be body aware, to be conscious of what is going on inside your body and to observe the external signs and systems of imbalance; for example, cracks, ravines, white furry coatings on your tongue indicate internal imbalances; or spots and pimples, cracked fingernails, dandruff, leg cramps, gassy stomach, excessive yawning, all these physical symptoms lead to you feeling below par, stressed and tired. Joining a Yoga class is a perfect solution to re-balance and renew yourself.

To boost and support your immune system, practice the following natural self care tips and see what a difference they make to the quality and health of your skin.

Well GROOMED MEN ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE

Skincare is no longer the domain of women and it is obvious that a well groomed man has advantages in everyday life.

It’s no coincidence that successful, groomed men are readily noticed and their appearance results in positive reactions. Men want simple, fast solutions to their daily skincare needs. DR. BAUMANN® Products offer exactly that. You need only 5 minutes daily in order to achieve an optimal skincare condition.

Shaving is a real burden for the skin especially when it is a daily occurrence. Therefore precise, recommended skincare is essential and it must fulfill the following criteria:

No additional burden on the skin through questionable ingredients in shaving creams, gels, shaving tonics, cleansers and treatment products. It is exactly those fragrances and preservatives that irritate the skin and can lead to serious allergies after years of use.

The University of Kyoto in Japan has proved and documented that the constant use of the most commonly used preservatives in skincare will result in dramatic aging of the skin. Mineral oils, especially when in high quantities can disturb the functions of the skin, particularly the barrier functions.

As shaving is responsible for strongly irritated skin, it should be treated daily with skin identical lipids and Vitamin A to actively regenerate and soothe it. Natural Vitamin E serves as an effective protection for stressed skin.

Allergies that result from substances that are not skin friendly must be treated exclusively with skin identical ingredients and vitamins such as SkinIdent®, ideal for the specific requirements of a mans skin. Problems such as skin irritations and redness are minimized in a short time especially when the skin (beard) is prepared beforehand so that the shave can be carried out as gently as possible.

We therefore recommend SkinIdent® Cleansing Gel or DR. BAUMANN® Cleansing Gel to be applied on a damp skin. Allow yourself the perfect luxury of applying a Liposome product on the skin, (after the dampening but before the saving proceeds.) This Liposome preparation should also be applied after the shave. In this way you obtain the perfect possibility for a gentle shave. 

Instead of a skin irritating After Shave with fragrance, we recommend a gentle skin friendly alternative with the SkinIdent® Tonic. Your skin will now be perfectly prepared for the Liposome treatment and recommended treatment cream to follow.

In addition to your daily skincare it is recommended especially for a skin with large pores and thick horny layer that you carry out a peeling using DR. BAUMANN® peeling products 1 – 4 times per week.This will remove dead cells on the skins surface and will improve the blood circulation in the skin. The result is a fresh skin that absorbs active ingredients more effectively. The recommended peeling product is massaged gently into a moist skin and is rinsed off with water (avoid the eye area and shave sensitive areas).

  

Your skin is your largest organ and therefore healthy skincare does not only allow for a better appearance, but also for a younger healthier skin for your whole life.

MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS BEAUTY BOND

Our mothers generally provide us with their unique beauty inheritance and habits.
 

As daughters mature from girls into women, their smiles, voices, gestures and tastes are influenced by their Mothers. The similarities in the way daughters style and present themselves serve as visual testimonies to the closeness of this bond and are part of developing a sense of identity and self esteem. 

Mothers must be conscious of the amount of influence they hold and use it in a positive way.

Mothers start their daughters on a path to beauty which they eventually make their own through the confidence that comes from Moms love and support. Once daughters feel secure in whom they are a transition point in the relationship occurs as they then have fun in guiding their mothers through the constantly evolving world of beauty products and treatments

.

As both slip into busy and autonomous lives that may sometimes be separated by distance, making the time for a pampering spa break or enjoying an at-home beauty ritual together, such as a facial and manicure, can provide mothers and daughters with the much-needed time, space and intimacy to strengthen their emotional bond.

Make the time to enjoy a Bionome Mother and Daughter Beauty Day and do all the fun glam rituals that you both love. Bionome Meaning using beauty products that are skin friendly or skin identical.
