Never miss a post! 
As part of the ongoing Cool Broad “Two on Tuesday” link series, I have two very cool skincare links to share. Click on the title to read the full article.
New skin care products with natural ingredients
This article lists five natural ingredients that you don’t typically think of in skin care products, but have been shown to offer some wonderful benefits for your skin. Some of these you might expect (i.e. pomegranate for its antioxidants) but the rest I was kind of like, huh? (i.e. mushroom and bamboo)
It’s worth keeping up with the newest advancements in skincare because some of the products they list containing these ingredients may work better for you than what you’re currently using. For example, the antioxidants in Pomegranate have been found to neutralize free radicals more effectively than those in green tea and it’s more stable in skin-care products than some other antioxidants, such as vitamin C.
One of the more interesting things I found in this article, however, was the fact that a 2005 study by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago showed that the scent of grapefruit on women made them seem an average of six years younger to men.
Can you guess what fruit I’m wearing on my wrist and neck right now?
I love it when I find articles that give me new and innovative beauty tips as well as reinforce the old ones.
For example, if see one more fashion magazine cover that says, “Trade secrets for beautiful skin!”, but all they tell you is the stuff you’ve heard twenty thousand times before (i.e. wear sunscreen and drink 8 glasses of water a day), I’m gonna pull my eyelashes out.
And even though this article does offer the aforementioned tips…it suggests strategies that I’m not familiar with (i.e. start every day with a glass of warm water and lemon and don’t cleanse in the morning, just rinse your face with water or witch hazel). And I’m all for trying new things to keep my largest organ looking its best!
Also, this skin detox is a great way to jump start you’re skin care routine if you’re in a rut.
Happy Tuesday!
