Natural Beauty Beats Botox

There’s been a lot of buzz in the news about Botox the last few days. I don’t know about you but the whole idea a needle to the face really turns me off. I know we all want to look good, but shouldn’t there be limits? I’m not talking governmental regulations, I’m talking personal boundaries.

I always feel better when I make an effort to look good. When I take a few extra minutes to blow dry my hair and apply a little make up I feel better about myself. I like to try to look my best, so that I can feel my best.

There are plenty of ways to keep your skin looking radiant and healthy without going to extreme and potentially deadly measures.

Here are some quick tips:

* Wash with a gentle cleanser. Our goat milk soaps are all you need to clean your skin without stripping its natural oils. Your skin will be balanced and healthy.
* After cleansing, apply a moisturizer. Try our Skin Therapy Creme to hydrate your skin.
* Drink your water. Most people don’t drink the recommended 8 glasses a day. Try measuring out your 8 glasses in the morning to be sure you get what you need. Not only will your skin thrive, but other organs in your body will benefit as well.
* Get a humidifier. If the air is dry your skin will dry out even faster. Keep the moisture levels in your home higher to benefit your skin as well as your sinuses.

Are you still not convinced that caring for your skin naturally is better than surgically? A recent study has shown that Botox (botulinum neurotoxin) can move from the original injection site to the brain. You can read more about the study here. It has also been linked to botulism symptoms in some users, and a few people have died.

Did you know that men are also using Botox more frequently than before? In Britain there are so many men using the treatment that it’s now dubbed “Boytox”. If you want to know why so many men are flocking to this treatment, you can get all the details here.
