Top 4 Body Parts That Reveal Your Age!

As we age, there are areas on our bodies that tend to show those tell tale signs of aging more than others. Most people tend to focus their anti-aging skin care regimes on their faces. They might try to fend off the lines and wrinkles at first sight as they peer into the mirror. However, in focusing all your efforts to look younger, from the chin up, there other areas that often neglected. These other areas might reveal your age. The top 4 are:

1.   Elbows:    As we age, and collagen productions slows, skin on elbows can become wrinkly and saggy. This area also tends to be very dry and dryness accelerates the aging process. Exfoliation and hydration are key in encouraging the skin to retain firmness. Say goodbye to soap and shower gels, which can be very drying. Instead, use a hydrating cleansing body scrub like AnthroSpa Logic’s 2 in 1 Pure Resplendence Cleansing Body Rub. This unique, soap-free body scrub both cleans and exfoliates all in one step without the oily mess of most sugar and salt scrubs.

2.   Neck:    The neck and “dècolletè” area surrounding the neck can become loose and show fine lines and can sometimes be described as looking “crepey.” It is important to use the same products on this area as you do on your face. Simplify your beauty regime with AnthroSpa Logic’s 3 in 1, Cleansing Renewal Face Rub. This 100% natural cleanser, toner and exfoliant all in one combats this “crepeyness,” for smooth, ageless skin using beauty secrets of the Japanese Geisha and Chinese Royalty.

3.   Hands:   The skin on your hands can become thin and wrinkled as the collagen breaks down. You might start to see more veins poking through as a sign of this aging process. To encourage collagen renewal, use a hydrating exfoliant like AnthroSpa Logic’s 2 in 1 Pure Resplendence Cleansing Body Rub.  Also, fade age spots as well as help firm skin with lipids using AnthroSpa Logic’s soy based Smoothing Body Masque.

4.  Feet:   Unlike the hands, few people pay attention to their feet as an area that reveal your age. Feet can become excessively dry and dryness can lead to wrinkles. Get an instant pedicure with AnthroSpa Logic’s Smoothing Body Masque. This luxurious 100% natural masque contains hydrating soy and honey as well as cell renewing tamarind, a fruit high in alpha hydroxy acids. Uncover smooth new skin and feel as though you just left the spa everyday!

It is important to take a holistic approach to skin care and take care of our bodies as well as our faces for maximum anti-aging results. Chemicals can speed the aging process so choose 100% natural, chemical-free products like those by AnthroSpa Logic®.

Summer Ready Skin!

Summer is approaching and is a time to reveal more skin! After months of covering up, it’s time to start working on that summer glow. Some people may get a little nervous about baring more skin. So before the hot weather is here to stay, it is better to be prepared so that you can flaunt a flawless complexion all over with pride! All those who attended our spring “Eco-Chic Spa Event” last week in Chicago had the opportunity to try sumptuous AnthroSpa Logic® , antioxidant-rich skin and body care products to keep your skin glowing and clear.

The key to butter smooth, clear skin is daily skin cell renewal. As we age, we accumulate dead skin cells and lose the ability to naturally renew them. This is why children have such smooth, soft skin because their skin is so new. Uncover new skin cells and encourage collagen renewal with AnthroSpa Logic’s Smoothing Body Masque.™ This ultra hydrating soy and honey based masque is like a smoothie for your skin!

This exotic, 100% natural, body masque contains tamarind, a tangy fruit native to East Africa. Tamarind is a natural source of powerful alpha hydroxy acids to promote skin cell renewal and is often used in Thailand as a potent anti-aging treatment. Unlike clay based masks which can be very drying, this masque contains a moisturizing soy base, which is rich in amino acids and lipids for cell regeneration. Completely chemical-free and preservative-free, It contains honey, a natural humectant with antibacterial qualities to hydrate and improve elasticity. Use it for an instant pedicure and turn rough areas like feet and elbows into buttery soft, smooth skin. Fade spots and stretch marks and brighten skin all over! Get AnthroSpa Logic® and dare to bare more!

Green Thoughts for Earth Day

Earth day is April 22 and is a day for observing the value of maintaining the integrity of our earth.  First observed in 1970, Earth Day was created to raise awareness about the environment and our impact on it. With all of the recent ecological disasters, including the spread of  nuclear waste following the Japanese earthquake and tsunami as well as the disastrous  oil spill last year, it is now more important than ever to look towards green technologies and practices to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. This includes becoming educated and aware of the chemicals, not only in the environment, but of those that we willingly  use on our bodies each day.

Many personal care products are laden with chemical preservatives, antibacterial agents, and other toxic substances that have been found linked to health problems, including cancer.  The skin is the largest organ in the body and readily absorbs chemicals in the products we use.  It is important to choose high quality “green” products that not only are healthier for the environment but healthy for you. AnthroSa Logic® 100% luxury natural products are completely preservative-free and chemical-free.  Few products are 100% natural and 100% pure.  Inspired by the holistic science of anthropology, our philosophy is based on the centuries old wisdom of native cultures around the world who have long used organic substances medicinally and in beauty treatments. AnthroSpa Logic products are as pure and natural as the original treatments used by native peoples and include only active ingredients to achieve the maximum benefit on your skin.

There are a number of ways to  move towards a more sustainable lifestyle and to have a positive impact on our precious environment. One way is to start in your own bathroom and use products that are both good for you and the environment. To learn more about our premium line visit anthrospa.com.

Turning Back the Clock: A Testament About Aging Gracefully

By Sharon Butler

One of the many things I’m learning as I mature in my ’50′s is that less is more.  There’s a tendency for some of us boomers to try holding on to our looks of yesteryear by coloring our hair, wearing clothes that may be a little too trendy or wearing too much or inappropriate make up. The truth is “youth” is about vibrancy - good health, good skin, and an energetic and positive lifestyle.

Turning back the clock is about wellness –  inside and out.  About a year ago, I began paying more attention to the affects of aging and saw it most noticeably in how I felt physically and the changes in my skin.  Changing my diet to healthier food options is restoring and, more importantly, healing my body.  I’m beginning to feel better than I’ve felt in almost a decade.

Changing my skin care to a healthier regime has revived my skin to such an extent that even I can’t tell that I’m almost 60. I have been consistently using Anthrospa Logic and, it is literally turning back the clock on my skin.  I virtually have no wrinkles in my face and my skin tone is smooth and even because of the Cleansing Renewal Face Rub and Hydrate and Tone Face Masque. The elasticity of my skin has  improved so much that my husband frequently comments on how soft and supple it feels.  The tiny, wrinkles that had started appearing under my neck and on my hands are gone thanks to the essential oils in the Dew Point Moisturizer.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I may not stop coloring my hair just yet. And, I  sometimes have to consult my daughters  for advice to make sure I’m not dressing too trendy, but my skin care is a “no brainer.”  Because of the all natural ingredients in Anthrospa Logic, my skin  is one of my best assets as I grow older. A “green” beauty regime is certainly working for me.

How to Get Clear Skin 100% Naturally

Native cultures for centuries have used various herbs and botanicals to maintain smooth, flawless skin. The Japanese Geisha are an example of a group that are legendary for their porcelain smooth complexions. They used a number of natural substances to maintain a natural glow as well as to clear blemishes. One secret of these exotic beauties was rice bran which contains over 100 antioxidants to nourish and repair the skin.

Ancient Chinese royalty also maintained smooth skin by exfoliating with genuine with pearls. Our 100% natural Cleansing Renewal Face Rub is a multitasking cleanser, toner, and exfoliant that contains both rice bran and pearl powder. To help fight blemishes and buff away spots exfoliate with this gentle cleanser everyday. It is effective for all skin types and tones as well as kills bacteria with spearmint oil. To cleanse, it contains a special antibacterial herb used by native Americans medicinally to treat skin conditions and as soap. You do not need chemicals to get clear smooth skin.

Weather Changes and Your Skin

The fall has arrived and the holidays are approaching as we begin to think about Thanksgiving, turkey and visiting loved ones. The leaves begin to change and as the cold weather looms many living in colder climates have begun to crank on the heat. We will be spending more time indoors and become subject to the dryness in our homes that comes from relying on furnaces and other heat sources. This dry air not only affects our nostrils, causing many to buy humidifiers, but our skin as well. If you noticed your skin was dry before, this becomes even more apparent during the fall and winter, when skin becomes flaky and lips chapped. Aging causes our skin to become drier as well. AnthroSpa Logic’s entire line is designed to combat dryness and restore your skin’s natural moisture balance. It is difficult to find products that properly hydrate. This is because most of those products contain very little of the active ingredient and contain mostly water and cheap fillers.

Our products contain 100% active ingredients so you get the full benefit of every ingredient on your skin! Everything we put in our products fulfills the purpose of nourishing and hydrating your skin. Most lotions and creams are a mixture of oil and water, with more water that anything else. The water evaporates leaving your skin dry and requiring you to use a lot of product. Our Dew Point Replenishing Moisturizer contains only the pure essential oils to hydrate your skin and regenerate skin cells with numerous vitamins and antioxidants. Because our moisturizer is highly concentrated and contains no water or fillers, you only need one or two drops to moisturize your face for the entire day! Imagine, no more dry patches and spots!

The Dangers Lurking in Your Skin Care Products

Could there be a dangerous substance lurking in your skin care products? Many common skin care and personal care products could be harboring dangerous substances that are toxic to your health. For instance, some common chemical preservatives called “parabens” and chemical antibacterials such as Triclosan have been linked to cancers. Free from these chemical hazards, natural beauty products have begun to storm the beauty scene and are gaining popularity as healthier alternatives.

Most skin care products contain “parabens” a family of inexpensive, chemical preservatives that increase the shelf life of products containing water. When water is added to a cosmetic formula, it requires a preservative system to prevent spoilage. Parabens are an inexpensive and popular choice. They usually contain one of  the prefixes  ethyl, methyl or propyl or butyl. Check the ingredients on any number of personal care items in your closet or on your bathroom shelf, such as lotions, hair care products, creams, cleansers etc. and look for propylparaben, methylparaben etc.  These substances are lurking in more of your daily toiletries than you think.

Parabens can be absorbed through intact skin and from the gastrointestinal tract and blood. Similarly, Triclosan is easily absorbed through the skin and can be secreted in breast milk. It can be found in many soaps and body washes. Studies have shown that these substances can have a range of negative effects from mild skin irritation to the development of cancer. Parabens can mimic the effect of estrogen and have been linked to breast cancer.  This chemical absorption is most concerning for women especially, who tend to use a number of personal care products daily, from hair products to skin care. Thus, there is a greater exposure to these chemicals.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Therefore, shouldn’t you care as much about what you put on your body as you do about what you put inside? No one would willingly “eat” a dangerous chemical yet we are willing to use countless products containing harmful substances that are just as easily absorbed through the skin. Natural skin care products that are chemical-free offer an alternative to cheaper, chemical-laden brands. However, when navigating the morass of natural beauty products, one must always read labels to make sure that none of the ingredients might cause irritation. Natural beauty products with fewer ingredients tend to be more effective because there is more of each ingredient in the actual products. In turn, you receive more of the benefit from that ingredient on your skin. The longer the list of ingredients, the more diluted the effectiveness of the individual ingredients. Many natural and organic lines include “natural preservatives”  that can cause irritation and their effectiveness is controversial in many cases. Skin care products that are preservative-free are a better choice.

In an environment laden with chemicals that we encounter on a daily basis, it becomes more important to be informed about the exposure that we can control and the choices we make. A number of natural brands are now available that allow you to take steps to “green” your beauty routine. One way to take control of the exposure to chemicals we face in the western world is to start in your own bathroom.
