Today, more than ever, every dime you spend needs to be accounted for. Money being spent on Skin Care or Scenting your home or business needs to be exactly what you need in the exact fragrance you want (This is Sweet P’s Skin Care’s Mission.). It is possible to own and use the best that nature offers without spending an arm and a leg. Keeping your Skin Care and Home rituals simple are essential. Over 30 years ago, I taught an economics class where students learned to comparative shop. This group of high school students learned to use the newspapers instead of gas and time to find the best value for shopping. They soon learned that with a little planning they could stretch their dollars and get more for their money. Today the internet has taken the place of the traditional tools and you can compare as long as you “know” that they are comparing apples to apples (the same kind and quality).
Organic Skin Care is simple. You need to utilize the following four steps for healthy skin care:
1. Cleanse, 2. Exfoliate, 3. Moisturize, 4. Protect.
Your skin type dictates what products you need. Your senses determine what kind of fragrance you want. If your skin tends to break out, the best Organic remedy is Jojoba Oil. This may sound crazy to some, but Jojoba Oil mimic sebum that usually is overproducing and tends to clog or capture debris or dead skin and thus tricks skin into slowing the production of sebum down and reduces skin break outs. I have clients that swear by Organic Jojoba Oil. You can use this product to condition hair, nails, clean and protect skin.
If you have dry, sun-damaged skin, or mature skin is best bet is Organic Shea Butter. This desert wonder is a wonderful emollient, cleans the skin, protects and actually increases the elasticity that we lose as we get get older. You can use use Organic Shea Butter to seal in moisture after bath or shower, condition your hair, help prevent stretch marks, and soften scars. This is another product that my clients swear by.
These two Organic Products are prime examples of getting the most for your money in Skin Care. Both of these product can take the place of two of the four essential steps to maintaining healthy skin. Not only do these product do more than one thing but they do not have any toxins, are safe for every age, are eco-friendly, and provide you the best value for your money. There is a big difference between buying “natural” versus “Certified Organic”. Natural products may be processed up to one thousand degrees thus destroying many of the wonderful things that the products do. Certified Organic must be processed at one hundred twenty degrees or less thus retaining all of the wonderful benefits of the oils or butters. It is up to you whether you want to spend more money on a product that is certified organic and marketed by a big name firm or one that is certified organic and allows you to get the most for your money.
