HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN

An article in a trade magazine regarding skin care quoted Howard Murad, a well known skin care maker. Here is what he had to say regarding how to properly care for your skin. We here at An Apple A Day Etc, agree for the most part, however we would add a few things. "According to Dr. Murad, improving skin means boosting the amount of cellular water by increasing the intake of lecithin, omega-3,-6 and -9, and amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to topically apply collagen to the skin and get much benefit". We would add Omega 7, as it's been clinically proven to help with joints and skin care. Blue Sage Naturals OTUS certified organic CO2 seabuckthorn seed oil provides all the Omegas.

Are you striving for a 'peaches and cream' complexion? Skin that is smooth, even skin tone, looking great? Then you must go back to where our pioneers got their skin care routines.

From nature. Herbs, oils and pure, clean, water. You get that with products from Blue Sage Naturals.

SUN CARE

Phytoene and phytofluene work to limit the damage caused by UVA and UVB rays by both absorbing light rays in the UVA and B spectrum and helping to protect against free radical formation and damage.

The phytofluene molecules absorb light in the UVA range and emit light in the visible range - therefore reducing the energy of the light from the shorter, harmful wavelengths to the less harmful, longer wavelengths.

Furthermore, the two carotenoids appear to prevent damage to the DNA from free radicals produced from sun exposure.

In addition, both phytoene and phytofluene appear to inhibit melanin synthesis under UV induced conditions, a positive quality as melanin, when irradiated with UVA rays, tends to result in the formation of damaging free radicals.

Using sea buckthorn oils diluted in a carrier oil does NOT make the product a sunscreen. Instead this product acts to protect against damage caused by sun exposure, acting as a complement to the protection provided by sunscreens.
