EPA Fun Facts

Here are some fun-facts from the US EPA newsletter I received today related to the sun and your skin. 

*You would need 62.8 gallons of sunscreen to protect the historic faces on Mount Rushmore. 

*  Humans shed and regrow outer skin cells about every 27 days.  That’s almost 1000 new skins in a typical lifetime. 

*  Every square inch of the human body has about 9.5 million skin cells. 

*  By age 70, the average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin.  (ew!)

*  If the sun were hollow,  you could fit about 1.3 million earths inside. 

*  If you weigh 100 pounds, you would weigh approximately 2800 pounds on the sun.

Best Vitamins For Skin

Best Vitamins and Minerals for Skin

  • Vitamin A is essential to keep skin’s elasticity, prevent dryness, wrinkles and aging of the skin. A person deficient in vitamin A will have flakiness, itching and possibly pimples. Vitamin A can be found in meat, milk, cheese, eggs, spinach, carrots, squash and broccoli.

    Of the vitamin B complex group, biotin is the most important for healthy skin. It is available in bananas, eggs, oatmeal and rice. The body also produces biotin.

    Vitamin C  keeps skin well-toned. A deficiency can cause wrinkles and skin discoloration. As skin ages, more vitamin C is essential to maintain elasticity. Broccoli, kale, cabbage, strawberries and cantaloupe are all full of Vitamin C.

    Vitamin E restores moisture to skin and slows the aging of skin cells. Vegetable oil, green leafy vegetables and nuts are good sources of vitamin E.

    Iron transports oxygen in the blood to hair and skin. Magnesium helps the absorption of other vitamins and minerals. Zinc helps prevent sagging and wrinkles.

    Facial Exfoliators

    If you start using a gentle exfoliator on your face, your skin will look better.  It’s as simple as that.  Exfoliated skin looks fresh and flawless.  There are many facial exfoliating options, everything from the Buff Puff to Microdermabrasion and Peels. 

    A perfect facial exfoliator that’s great for everyday use is exfoliating gloves.   Use the gloves to gently exfoliate delicate facial skin.  Since you throw them in the washer after use (much like a wash rag) they are more eco-friendly than disposable sponges and puffs.  Exfoliating gloves are a must-have to keeping skin looking radiant.  They are exceptionally great to exfoliate lips.

    Foods That Are Good For Your Skin

    You’ve heard the cliche, you are what you eat.  As it turns out, that’s exactly right!  Since the body doesn’t store excessive amounts of wrinkle-fighting vitamin C, you need to consume Oranges, Lemons, Limes, and Grapefruit (in addition to a multivitamin) to keep your skin looking hydrated and youthful.  Oranges contain the highest level of vitamin C of these four fruits.  Eating citrus fruits helps the body maintain high levels of vitamin C, an antioxidant, which increases collagen, the supportive protein fibers that stop your skin from sagging.   Of note, collagen breakdown increases in your mid 30s, so be proactive and eat citrus fruits to help your skin fight the good fight.

    Natural Energy Booster

    midday-sun.jpg

    Sunlight is a natural mood booster that when combined with a little fresh air, will give you a burst of energy.  Experts recommend that you receive about 20 minutes of direct sunlight each day to meet your vitamin D requirements. Beware, however, as more sun exposure than 20 minutes can be harmful to skin.  Be sure to wear an SPF if your skin will be exposed to sunlight for more than 20 minutes.

    All Natural Skincare

    rsz_outdoor_final_orange.jpg

    Have you tried all natural skincare products only to find they stink?  They literally stink…as in they smell horrible!  For instance, a popular guy up north makes his products from bees (beeswax.)  Beeswax is an excellent all-natural product that protects the skin, and Supernatural Botanicals is a huge advocate of beeswax in our skincare products (our body butters contain beeswax.)  But just because you want to use all natural products doesn’t mean you have to go around smelling like carrots or tomatoes as the bee-keeper up north would have us do. 

    You can have the best of both worlds…you can choose all natural products and have them infused with delicious-smelling all natural pure essential oil scents such as Grapefruit, Orange, Pomegranate, Mango, and Coconut.  We promote all natural and aromatherapy at the same time.  There’s no need to shy away from all natural ingredients…because they can be formulated to smell delicious.  For all natural skincare that smells as good as its ingredients are, shop Supernatural Botanicals.  After all, who really wants to walk around smelling like tomatoes and carrots?  Combine the best of ingredients and aromatherapy for a better all natural experience.
