People who buy natural skin care products are searching for creams and lotions that provide visible results. Baby boomers and younger individuals use natural products like creams, facial soaps, foaming facial washes and peel-off facial masks because they have become sick of pharmaceuticals. People are willing to spend a few more dollars on products because they believe the health benefits are worth the extra dollars but natural does not always mean it is a perfect solution for everyone.

The interest with natural skin care creams and lotions can be tied into a shift in people’s priorities and lifestyles. People are becoming more aware of the world and the environment. They generally think that natural acne products are environmentally friendlier and better for their skin than their pharmaceutical counterparts. For the most part, that generalization holds up but natural skin care creams and lotions are not always what people think they are.

Natural Skin Care

There are a few ideas to think about when searching for a natural skin care product. First off, is the product environmentally friendly? Not every product is. Cosmetic products can and often do discharge a large amount of pollutants into the ozone on a daily basis. According to some recent studies, ingredients like fluorocarbons, acetone, and phenols contained in a good number of natural skin care products dematerialize and add to ozone problems.

Not only can this alter air quality but it can alter the breeding habits of some marine species. When a few additives dissipate into the environment, they can bed down in lakes and rivers and change the breeding routines of fish and other species. Natural skincare lotions commonly contain botanical ingredients. Have you ever considered that maybe those exact same botanicals were treated with pesticides and fertilizers? Would you still feel comfortable with your new natural skin care cream or lotion if this were the case?

Is your natural skin care product really helping your skin? There are thousands of “natural” skincare businesses who embody parabens and preservatives in their products. Preservatives must be toxic to pathogens in order to boost the shelf life of the cream. Now parabens have been the standard but recently there have been some contentious studies questioning the toxicity of the preservative and its role in the evolution of tumors. While tumor development would be undoubtedly rare, more common side effects of parabens include general inflammation and Atopic dermatitis.

Natural Ingredients in a Skin Care Product Some natural ingredients are more advanced than others. Are you searching for an all natural skin care treatment that was not altered by fertilizers or will not affect the environment? Thanks to the discovery of a new biological skin care ingredient, you can stimulate the natural renewal process of your own skin and exfoliate old, dying cells and let new, healthy ones emerge to give the skin a more vibrant appearance.

When applied topically to fresh, clean skin, the biological ingredient will fuse with your own skin cells and:

* soothe irritated skin by governing the expansion of capillaries that often cause blotches on the face. This releases fibrin which guards the frail inner walls of the blood vessels and advances unhindered blood flow.

* prompt collagen synthesis by improving cellular communication in the body. Boosting the ability of cells to communicate amongst themselves inspires the development of fibroblasts in the skin. Fibroblasts boost collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, making it sturdy and strong.

* curb oxidative damage and free radical formation using ingredients that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. This helps protect the healthy cells around a skin trauma.

* revive the capacity of the skin layers to stay hydrated by activate the development of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the molecules that give the skin its ability to keep in water. This thickens the skin. Strong elements prevent dry skin and help avoid cracking and flaking.

Yes, one 100% natural skincare product can do all this! And this isn’t even a complete list of the beneficial aspects of the natural skin care for the cure of skin problems.

With proper planning and advice, travel during pregnancy is not a problem. To ensure that you and your baby remain healthy during travel, you need to consider the stage of your pregnancy, your current physical condition, and any restrictions or problems you and your doctor have discussed.

Ensure you don’t miss any important physician visits or tests while away by scheduling them before you go. These can include Rh immunoglobulin injections (for Rh negative blood types), ultrasounds, glucose screening tests and regular prenatal, physician visits.

Assuming your doctor says it is OK for you to travel, be sure you prepare a complete list of contact names and phone numbers to take with you. If you have problems during your trip and need care or attention, health care professionals or other travelers can ensure that you get appropriate care.

Included in the list should be the following: %u2022 Personal information, your medications, insurance details and blood type. List also what immunizations you have had, when your last prenatal visit occurred, your due date and any allergies you have %u2022 Names and telephone numbers for a family emergency contact %u2022 Name and telephone number of your doctor %u2022 Name and telephone number of the doctor you can use whilst traveling should you encounter any problems during your pregnancy

Be sure you have ample supply of prescription and over the counter medications, and prenatal vitamins. Make certain that your health insurance policy covers pregnancy, delivery and other complications during travel and be sure to double check any restrictions that may apply to travel in foreign countries.

Your pregnancy could involve unforeseen health issues that may necessitate altering travel plans or could add extra expenses so make sure your travel insurance will cover these. Ask if this insurance covers complications from pregnancy and emergency transport. Ensure you bring a cell phone and make any alterations required so it will work in all countries on your itinerary.

Make sure you incorporate plenty of rest in your day whilst traveling as you are more likely to become fatigued while pregnant and engaging in normal activities. Take advantage of the facilities and relax on the beach, get room service or watch a pay per view movie in your room. Anticipate culinary and schedule disruptions so carry healthy snacks such as nuts, crackers, dried fruit with you. Flying, traveling and pregnancy coupled with different climates will dehydrate so drink lots of water.

Take your bathroom schedule into consideration. As an expectant mother, you are likely to need to use the bathroom often. Don’t plan vacation or travel activities that require you to be out in the middle of nowhere, away from facilities. And plan extra time for ‘pit stops’ if you are traveling by car. Remember that your feet and legs are likely to swell during pregnancy if you are sitting for long periods of time. Wear comfortable, expandable shoes and socks and elevate your feet whenever possible. Get up and walk around whenever you can on a plane, train or bus and if you are traveling by car, be sure to walk around a bit when you stop to use the bathroom.

If you are traveling to a foreign country, you and your doctor will have to consider any vaccines you will require to determine whether they are safe to administer during pregnancy. Avoid live vaccines like varicella for chicken pox, measles, mumps, and rubella. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report no fetal damage from live vaccines, but they admit that their information is limited, so these vaccines should still be considered risky. Vaccines for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, and tetanus, are safe and recommended for pregnant women at risk of getting these diseases.

In many developing countries local healthcare and the quality of available food and water are questionable. It is best to avoid travel to these countries while you are pregnant. If you are traveling to a hot, humid destination, avoid yeast infections by wearing lightweight, loose-fitting clothes, and cotton underwear. Change out of wet bathing suits as soon as you can, and talk to your doctor about carrying a tube of anti-fungal cream, just in case you need it.

Avoid risky activities, especially late in pregnancy: snow skiing, water skiing, surfing, horseback riding, parasailing, scuba diving, water slides and some more extreme amusement park rides. You may also wish to avoid very hot saunas and hot tubs, as they elevate your temperature beyond what is normal in a regular bath. You can walk and hike at low altitudes, swim in calm waters (not in heavy surf or rapids), ride a stationary or regular bike, exercise in the hotel gym (if you have been used to exercising before and during your pregnancy) and jog if you jogged before pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about your planned activities before you leave for travel or vacation.

Be smart! If you start to feel tired, overheated, dizzy or uncomfortable, slow down, rest, take a break or stop what you are doing. Travel, especially to other time zones, can throw your eating schedule off and cause more problems with bloating, and indigestion. Try eating several small meals during the day. Don’t eat close to bedtime (allow 2-3 hours to digest your food). Sleep with your upper body propped on pillows. Avoid alcohol, carbonated beverages, caffeine, chocolate, acidic foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, and vinegar), and spicy foods. Try to eat high-fiber foods to avoid constipation and bloat, and stay active to keep your digestive tract moving.

Avoid motion sickness by sitting in the front seat of the car and keeping the window open to get plenty of fresh air. If traveling on a ship try to stay on deck focusing on the horizon and sit over the wing on an airplane. You can try wearing a specially designed wristband to deliver mild electrical current to a nerve at an acupuncture point on the underside of your wrist. Motion sickness and pregnancy morning sickness can be alleviated by these bands.

If you follow these suggestions, you should have a pleasant and healthy trip. Listen to your doctor and if they recommend that you don’t travel..don’t. It is best to put off the trip for another time after the baby is born, rather than to risk your health and the health of your unborn child!
