Stay Radiant and Young with Natural Anti Aging Skin Care

Written by Author on . Posted in Anti-Aging, Fundamentals, Natural Skincare, Recent Articles, Sun Protection

If you want to stay youthful and beautiful without the help of botox or surgery, then stick with the basics.  These include: staying out of the sun, eating a balanced diet, giving up alcohol and smoking and moderate exercise.  But, still you may find that your skin needs something extra that you are unable to provide. There are many different anti aging skin care products available to choose from and we know from experience, the options can get overwhelming. With so many trends coming out – acids, peels, peptides, collagen, serums, bio-cosmetics, lasers, micro-needling, etc.  What is popular this month is sometimes found to be harmful the next. antiagingpackage

Signs of aging are natural and inevitable. Unfortunately, if you do not take proper care today, your skin will appear much older by sheer neglect tomorrow.  If you were one of the few youths who lived in a cold climate or stayed indoors quite a bit, then you would now be blessed with fewer wrinkles and age spots. Many others weren’t so lucky.  Countless numbers of baby boomers and Gen-X’ers slathered on the baby oil as we baked in the sun day after day on those long carefree summers.

To combat past damage and prevent future damage, most skin care professionals suggest a basic daily skin regime.  This includes: cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting. Weekly exfoliation and facial masks are also suggested to keep skin at it’s most optimal.

  1. Cleanse your skin every morning and before bedtime to reduce dirt and oil buildup. Always remove your makeup each night.
  2. Tone:  Follow up your clean skin with a Ph balanced, acid-free toner to keep your skin it’s in optimal range – not too oily and not too dry.  Spritz or apply with a clean cotton pad.
  3. Moisturize:  Always give your skin that extra bit of hydration to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. (Even oily skin needs a light moisturizer to prevent excess oil production).
  4. Protect:  Apply an SPF or natural sunblock facial moisturizer every day you are planing to be outdoors or in the sun.
    Be sure to include your neck and chest area!

No magic potion will keep you looking young forever.  However, with the daily use of good anti aging skin treatment products you can slow down the process of aging and help keep your skin soft and supple.

That’s why Vivoderm believes in sticking with the basics when it comes to your skincare as well.  Simple, herbal and botanical products with ingredients you can pronounce and recognize are what we strive to create. 100% herbal facial masks made only of pulverized herbs, vitamins and natural acids, facial creams with healing, botanical ingredients and natural emollient oils.

Almond Oil and Skincare

Written by Vivoderm Admin on . Posted in Anti-Aging, Fundamentals, Herbal Treatments, Ingredients, Recent Articles, Skin and Tips

 

Chamomile Body ButterYou can find almond oil in many natural skincare products today. Vivoderm uses Almond Oil in most of its natural facial lotions and body creams. The Vivoderm Chamomile Body Butter is a thick, rich all-over skin hydrator, perfect to protect your skin against for the cold, dry weather of winter.


Grown in the wilderness of Brazil, the tree and bark of the bitter almond tree (Prunus amygdalus amara) was used for tanning, while the fruit and nut was used for cooking and frying. In those times, nuts were sorted out and the bitter ones were used for ethenic oils in perfumeries and for the creations of industrial usages. almond-oils

Due to the bitter acid of the nuts and the potential harm of constipation that was caused by the acid, especially in children, trees were cultivated to create a higher percent of sweet-tasting almonds. The almond trees originally started in minor Asia and then moved to China, the Mediterranean region, Spain, Malaga, Valencia, Island of Mallorca, southern France, southern Italy, Messina, Greece, North Africa, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, southern Russia, and the United States.

Bitter almonds (Geren amygdalus amara) consist of 30 to 50 percent fatty oils; 20 to 30 percent egg white; three to five percent sugar; two to three percent emulsion, lipase, and enzymes; and two to four percent amygdalin acid glycoside, which is converted into choline, asparagine, and vitamin C. Sweet almonds (Amygdalus dulcis) consists of 30 to 60 percent fatty sweet almond oil, 20 to 30 percent glucose, 10 percent saccharose, and two to three percent emulsifying and enzymatic properties. It is used in food, cosmetics, cough syrup, and other pharmaceutical preparations. A very small amount of bitter almond oil is still used in the bakery, pastry, candy, and liquor industries as it enhances and stimulates the taste of many products. In the preparation of food, almond oil can be used in salads and for cooking. A small amount of almond oil is often used to enhance flavors.almond-oil

In the cosmetic industry, almond oil has many positive usages, including skin conditioning and enhancing the feel and penetration of facial creams, body lotions, hand and foot care, fragrance ingredients, soaps, cleansing products, hair care products, bath oils, sun tanning products, and makeup. The development of skin and body care products has unlimited possibilities with which to use almond oil to create a large variety of personal care products.

For corrective purposes, almond oil – as a carrier oil – is a neutral oil, therefore, it is used in many supplement recommendations. For muscle soreness and leg cramps, almond oil can be combined with a few drops of birch, borage, eucalyptus, evening primrose, ginger, lavender, peppermint, or wintergreen oils and rubbed on the ache or pain. To ease cramps in the calf muscle, rub the blend on the calf and flex the foot several times.

Blending lavender and chamomile oils with almond oil as a carrier can offer relief against sunburn. Almond oil as a carrier for chamomile oil is a remedy for many unpleasant occurrences.

Almond oil as a sedative is used in the pharmaceutical profession due to the following amino acids: alanine, magnesium, phenylalanine, and vitamin F. It is soothing and mollifying as a medicinal substance. Used internally, almond butter is tolerated by diabetics.almond-oil-2

In many cases, the end price of a product determines the quality of the product. The purified almond oil used in cosmetic manufacturing is produced by grinding the kernel and pressing the oil out, whereby the bulk can be dried and used as abrasives in face and body masks or sold as sweet almond meal or sweet almond seed powder.

To take advantage of sweet almonds, there are several water-soluble extractions available: sweet almond flower extract, sweet almond bark extract, sweet almond bud extract, sweet almond fruit extract, and sweet almond fruit water. A sweet almond leaf cell extract was found to be a highly potent antioxidant skin protector. For hair conditioning, a combination of sweet almond protein and oil is very effective. One of almond oils biggest benefits is that it keeps the skin and hair looking great. It is considered a mild hypoallergenic oil that is safe for sensitive skin. When using the oil directly on the skin, which is done in some instances, it is wise to warm the oil to body temperature before use for better penetration into the skin. By combining almond oil with different essential oils, not only is the power of these oils tripled, but it also enhances the penetration since almond oil is considered an essential carrier oil in the skin care industry.

Folklore has offered many ideas and usages for the nut, which, of course, were never medically proven and registered. A few of these usages include helping to control ultraviolet radiation damage due to unprotected outdoor activity, helping to treat psoriasis and eczema, delaying general signs of aging, treating dark circles under the eyes, and helping with earaches in children.

Almond oil has a light, pleasant feel, but many people will reject the direct use of the oil as it leaves an oily look and feel to the skin.

There are nearly 20 different almonds worldwide. With the improvement of technologies and harvesting, processing techniques for California almonds are now used all over the world. California sweet almond oil can be blended with other oils or used by itself in major cosmetic production with unlimited benefits.
