I am always on the look out for natural solutions to surgical procedures or prescription drugs. And I love sharing my "beauty secrets", especially when it is a product that I am completely obsessed with. This is the best skin supplement that I have ever come across. I wish I had known about it years ago. Completely natural and it works.<br />
<br />
The creator of this supplement is a world renowned scientist, Dr Patrick Flanagan. For over three decades he has studied the remote regions of the world where people live healthy active lives past the age of 100. He discovered that the water in these regions was almost identical and came from frozen glaciers that had melted. It is known as "glacial milk". It is very different from the water that most of the civilized world drinks.<br />
<br />
After much research it was discovered that the this water can be absorbed directly into your cells with much greater ease <i><b>facilitating hydration and nutrient uptake</b></i>. The water from this regions contained massive quantities of negatively-charged hydrogen ions.<br />
<br />
He spent over 30 years developing and creating a powder that can hold Hydrogen ions stable over time and release them in your body when they come in contact with water.<br />
<br />
So what does that mean for your skin? <b>Hydration,</b> which results into <b>plumper skin with less visible fine lines and wrinkles.</b><br />
The H-ions neutralize all known free radicals, recycle all known antioxidants and increases ATP production by 4 times. <b>Free radicals are considered the number one cause of aging skin.</b><br />
It also protects telomeres from damage during cell division. <i><b>(look back at an older post " Save the Telomeres, Don't be Frayed", to read about telomeres)</b></i><br />
<b><i>Because of it's high antioxidant potential it is shown to be 100 times more powerful than other plant based antioxidant sources. It delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating pounds of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of healing waters.</i></b><br />
<br />
Hydration at the cellular level is vital to <b><i>regeneration</i></b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I wish I had taken before and after pictures of my skin, so that you could see the visible difference. <br />
<br />
Mega Hydrate causes <b>increased hydration</b> to your skin cells, which causes plumper skin which means <b>less visible wrinkles.</b> <b>Your skin just looks plumper, moist, dewy and radiant</b>.<br />
<br />
It also <b>neutralizes free radicals</b> which means <b>slowing down the aging of the skin.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
David Wolfe has a short video on Mega Hydrate that I wanted to share. So if you have a few extra minutes, give a watch.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvhtT1ulcE8" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
Add Mega Hydrate to your Real Raw Beauty Daily Routine and you have a recipe for outstanding skin.<br />
<br />
I buy mine from Amazon. I started out taking 2 per day. Now I have increased to 6. I take 2 with a 12 oz glass of water first thing in the morning before I drink anything else.<br />
Check it out and see what you think.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a month ago I started reading about this supplement called GABA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The benefits that are listed at the top of the page are what got me reading and researching. The improved mental focus and improvement in sleep were the 2 that I was most interested in. The rest would just be a bonus!<br />
I guess because I am a Capricorn I always have to know the science behind any supplement that I decide to take. Then I have to read tons of reviews to see what other people have experienced before I lay down the money and order. So for just a sec I want to give you a little background on GABA.<br />
<br />
Gamma-Amino Buttyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It inhibits nerve transmission in the brain, <b>calming nervous activity. </b><br />
In our brain Glutamate speeds things up, and when they are going too fast, GABA slows them down.<br />
It is also touted as increasing the Human Growth Hormone levels.<br />
Without GABA, nerve cells fire too often and too easily. Anxiety disorder such as panic attacks, seizure disorders, and numerous other conditions including addiction, headaches, Parkinson's syndrome, and cognitive impairment are all related to low GABA activity.<br />
GABA has a calming and quieting influence.<br />
<br />
People take Benzo's and Sedatives, such as:<br />
Xanax<br />
Valium<br />
Ativan<br />
Klonopin<br />
Ambien<br />
Sonata and Lunesta to try and increase the effectiveness of GABA. To the extent that they are successful, these drugs will produce a calming effect for a time and then apparently cease to work, because people have developed a tolerance to the drug.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QF9PKmdfeTMl5DqWZBdhYzZfbriTQLtQhdlxUyYYv5ikHwW9efEAphpbVrx8ie195cn_DiYP_39pTmcvvJ8uXczKLJfbU3xP1D-zJXOkktyk8mRCo4E81AtVxkh0ywubXMcYrQk3cL55/s1600/tumblr_mv8wcgNKiX1slcjuho1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QF9PKmdfeTMl5DqWZBdhYzZfbriTQLtQhdlxUyYYv5ikHwW9efEAphpbVrx8ie195cn_DiYP_39pTmcvvJ8uXczKLJfbU3xP1D-zJXOkktyk8mRCo4E81AtVxkh0ywubXMcYrQk3cL55/s1600/tumblr_mv8wcgNKiX1slcjuho1_500.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Five years ago almost 10 million people were taking some form of these drugs or pain medication.<br />
The long term effects of these drugs is not good.<br />
<br />
So here are the claims that are being made about taking GABA as a supplement.<br />
<br />
It is able to stop the actions of various brain chemicals which are especially active in people suffering with Anxiety.<br />
Helps treat Depression<br />
Improves Mental Function<br />
Helps improve issues that contribute to lack of sexual desire.<br />
Lessens signs of aging<br />
Lowers stress<br />
Helps promote deeper sleep<br />
<br />
I wanted to take this because I have had sleep issues for 15 years. I also wanted the benefits of increased mental focus. I will say that I have been sleeping better and I have noticed that I am more focused daily and my creative juices are flowing much better and faster. I am sure over time I will begin to notice more and more of the other benefits.<br />
I don't really have anxiety or depression but I will say that you just feel "chill" all the time. I have found for me that it is really hard to even work up being mad about something.<br />
I have been taking a brand of GABA from the bulletproof executive website. It's called GABAwave.<br />
I bought it because you need to take a brand that will cross over the brain barrier. And this particular brand does according to the product description. It is liquid and comes in small little plastic ampules. You can only take 3 per week. 1 every 36 hours. If you take more it has an adverse effect on you. I would even recommend starting off with 1/2 the ampule. It doesn't taste all that great, but you can acquire a taste.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_E0HESEEs2rhabfs23F335zhZrG5r_MFzcVI7J5jH3DojtPFTRAJ70AF2vQuw0mzNEJGLaVkJAZTTSsA560PBudscD6tbvohmVgMUzV8BeDRJbsWqlhwjhB3tC_eNzypTFd18rhE0XW0L/s1600/14595175299_29d1b06efa_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_E0HESEEs2rhabfs23F335zhZrG5r_MFzcVI7J5jH3DojtPFTRAJ70AF2vQuw0mzNEJGLaVkJAZTTSsA560PBudscD6tbvohmVgMUzV8BeDRJbsWqlhwjhB3tC_eNzypTFd18rhE0XW0L/s1600/14595175299_29d1b06efa_b.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I always tell everyone to do their own research. Don't just read this and go order it. But for me I am so enjoying the benefits. There may be other brands that are just as good as this one.<br />
Check it out, do your homework and come to your own conclusion. But it may be a great solution for you or someone you know especially if you struggle with anxiety or depression.<br />

I just recently went to get a checkup and had my blood work done. One result that showed up on my results, that I did not expect to hear, I was critically low in vitamin D. I was completely shocked. I mean I live in Florida for goodness sakes-the Sunshine state!!<br />
<br />
Vitamin D deficiency is dangerous. It can cause all types of Health problems that can lead to some very serious illnesses. Most of us get our Vitamin D from the sun. If you are not getting 15-20 minutes of unprotected sun per day, you are<b> probably deficient in vitamin D</b>. If you don't have plans to get some blood work done anytime soon, go ahead and get some plant based vitamin D supplements and start taking them. My doctor has me on 5,000 units a day.<br />

<br />
<br />
I ran across an article from Natural News when I was researching information to help me understand the importance of this particular vitamin. Here is some vital information.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">NaturalNews</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> Imagine a line stretching across the U.S. from Philadelphia in the East to just north of San Francisco in the West. That's about 40 degrees latitude. If you live north of that line, chances are, you're not getting enough vitamin D. And even if you live in the more southerly latitudes, if you're not getting outside to enjoy the sunshine for at least 15 minutes each day, it's pretty likely you're not getting enough D either. Likewise if you're dark-skinned, overweight or older.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">That's because most of us get our D vitamins through sun exposure. When exposed to the UV rays of the sun, compounds in the skin work to convert chemicals into vitamin D. People in more northern latitudes are seasonally limited to the amount of sun they receive, and for those who have dark skin or who are older, the skin isn't as efficient at converting sunlight to vitamin D.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Vitamin D is different from other vitamins because it's available in only a few foods -- mostly fatty fish and mushrooms that have been exposed to UV rays. As a result, vitamin D supplementation is typically the best way for most people today to ensure that they get enough of the vitamin.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Until just a few decades ago, vitamin D's effects were largely believed to be solely related to healthy bones. Researchers understood that vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which is essential for healthy bone development. But more recently, evidence has surfaced that's shown there's much more to this vitamin than originally believed.</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Strengthening Bones and Muscles</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Multiple studies have shown that the risk of fractures, especially among older people, is significantly higher when </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/vitamin_D.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">vitamin D</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> levels are low. In a summary of evidence found in 12 studies, researchers determined that taking vitamin D supplements reduced hip and other non-spinal fractures by 20 percent. (1)</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">And another study found that, among an older population, vitamin D's muscle-strengthening powers helped decrease the risk of falls -- a common cause of disability and death -- by nearly 20 percent. (2)</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Preventing Heart Disease</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Just like bone and muscle cells, heart cells also have special receptors that attract and bind vitamin D. No surprise, since the heart itself is a type of muscle. Multiple studies have found that vitamin D deficiency contributes to heart </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/disease.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">disease</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">, although the reasons why aren't clearly understood. Many researchers believe that it's because vitamin D can help prevent three of the most common diseases that contribute to heart disease -- high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and diabetes.</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Preventing Cancer</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">To date, studies have shown a strong link between low levels of vitamin D and the development of colorectal cancers, but more studies are being conducted to learn how the vitamin may play a role in the development and prevention of other cancers, including breast and prostate cancers.</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Preventing Kidney Disease</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Studies conducted during the past decade have shown that low levels of vitamin D play a role in the development of kidney disease, but as recently as last year, researchers learned that monitoring the levels of the vitamin can actually help identify the disease in its earliest stages before significant kidney damage occurs. According to the results of that study, people with deficient levels of vitamin D were two times as likely to have protein in their urine -- a condition known as proteinuria, one of the earliest signs of kidney damage. (3)</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Strengthening the Immune Function</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Low levels of vitamin D have been shown to contribute to tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis, flu and even the common cold. It's also been associated with type I diabetes, the type of diabetes that's related to the immune system and begins almost exclusively in childhood. Low levels of vitamin D have also been associated with type II diabetes, which usually occurs in adults over the age of 40 and is not associated with the immune system. Most researchers believe that the vitamin's ability to ward off inflammation is at the root of its immune-boosting abilities. (4)</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Studies indicate that about 1 billion people worldwide are deficient in vitamin D</b>. (5) Especially in recent years, vitamin D's role in preventing a host of diseases is becoming more clearly understood. Multiple studies are underway to explain these roles, but one thing is clear: Getting enough vitamin D is vitally important to maintaining good health. Since getting enough of the vitamin can be so difficult, taking a supplement is the best way to enjoy its benefits.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Also vitamin D has to be present in our body to be able to absorb calcium. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So as you can see from the article we need to make sure our vitamin D levels are where where they need to be. </span><br />

Winter is almost over!! We are all counting the days until Spring! Here is a great herb to help you get through the final days. </div>

I call Rodolia Rosea-happy pills!! About six months ago I was doing research to find a natural supplement to help my husband deal with the anxiety and stress he was experiencing. I ran across this herb called Rhodolia Rosea. I immediately got on Amazon and ordered a bottle. I personally wasn't experiencing stress in my life but when they arrived I decided to try them out along with him. Wow, I could not believe that an herb was this amazing. By the second day I felt a real calming effect from them. It was a euphoric happy feeling that comes over you and stays with you without any physical side effects. Needless to say I loved it and began taking them everyday. When you are taking this supplement you feel like you can handle anything that comes your way. You start noticing that nothing is ruffling your feathers or bothering you. I truly don't know anyone that couldn't use a little dose of that kind of goodness!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here are a few benefits of Rhodiola Rosea:<br />
<ul>
<li>Aids in reducing anxiety associated with day to day life</li>
<li>Helps reduce fatigue</li>
<li>Supports overal heart vitality</li>
<li>Promotes improvement in general well being</li>
<li>Protects muscle tissue during exercise</li>
<li>Natures energy booster</li>
<li>Improves the body's response to stress</li>
<li>Enhances the healing properties of one's own nervous system</li>
<li>Protects the nervous system against oxidative stress, enhancing healthy sleep, lifting depressed mood, relieving anxiety and maintains blood sugar within a healthy range.</li>
</ul>
I will have to say for me I have experienced all of these benefits listed above.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Since 40% of American women between the ages of 40 and 50 are on prescription anti-depressants, the medical community is taking a serious look at this herb. Many physicians are now prescribing Rhodolia Rosea to cure depression and anxiety instead of prescription drugs. That to me is wonderful progress!!<br />
<br />
Like I said, I order mine from Amazon, I have tried several different brands and have chosen the gaia brand as my favorite. I take 3-4 a day. I carry them around in my purse because I never want to be without them<br />

Real Raw Beauty announced a new product this week, Radiant Toner. We added this product because so many of you have written and asked for it. Our toner is a 100% Organic hydrosol based product. Meaning that 75% is made with lemongrass hydrosol water.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqvQs00r4SK-0w5jGpkY89D_qyWq6e6Duzi8crJS4zu59AP9ZEptkDQvhKomLEV7OgvrcYDshoLVFtUjNudkiTZAdWbsTuuYzYHP1hykx6g2hG7O52TzwGFbzT8bY3qZDqht846Fom90O/s1600/Toner-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqvQs00r4SK-0w5jGpkY89D_qyWq6e6Duzi8crJS4zu59AP9ZEptkDQvhKomLEV7OgvrcYDshoLVFtUjNudkiTZAdWbsTuuYzYHP1hykx6g2hG7O52TzwGFbzT8bY3qZDqht846Fom90O/s1600/Toner-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Hydrosol water or hydroflorates are products from steam distilling plants. The water has the properties of the essential oil but far less the concentration. The process to obtain hydrosol water starts with a distiller. The lemon grass plant is put into a large cooker/steamer and as the temperature rises the glands of the plants burst to release the essential oil and the essence of the plant into the steam. The oil will rise and be collected in a container on one side and the steam from the oils are collected in another container. Hydrosol waters are the by product of essential oil removal from plant leaves. The collected steam droplets become the Hydrosol water.<br />
Hydrosols contain all the essence and qualities of the plant in each drop but are in a milder form, making them suitable for toners.<br />
<br />

Added to our lemongrass Hydrosol water are Organic oils that work with your skin as an antiseptic, antibacterial and anti fungal.<br />

<br />
<br />
After cleansing your skin with the Radiant Face Wash, apply the toner to a cotton pad. Immediately you will notice the clean smell of the combined Hydrosol and Organic oils.<br />
<br />
The Radiant toner will not dry out your skin. But you will feel and see it working to remove any remaining residue and shrink the pores and firm the skin.<br />
<br />
The ingredients in our Radiant Toner will help to kill bacteria, remove environmental toxins, replenish, clean, refresh and cause your skin to look healthier and brighter. It is a perfect addition to your current skin care routine.<br />

<br />Welcome to Real Raw Women!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17221576653147268867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814763454155537296.post-85504116558473943972015-01-25T17:17:00.000-08:002015-01-25T17:17:55.622-08:00MSMI have been taking MSM powder off and on for 20 years. I take it for the incredible benefits for your skin. I recently came across an article from Natural News and it reminded me how wonderful and beneficial this supplement is for you. So I wanted to share the Natural News article with my readers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYz0_8ttiIak2uLmOCduPpFZDkmsLpbxWjp6VfVpLnx57SJZ3NdqHwDqXzFfi1ofcNpVW8-Ro1nu1o1MJmqBMWlKVFevXscZSF4Kk9mR_c0yAxdGvDKoB63T9LuW9_USRN9MU2eD8MSpWX/s1600/msm-powder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYz0_8ttiIak2uLmOCduPpFZDkmsLpbxWjp6VfVpLnx57SJZ3NdqHwDqXzFfi1ofcNpVW8-Ro1nu1o1MJmqBMWlKVFevXscZSF4Kk9mR_c0yAxdGvDKoB63T9LuW9_USRN9MU2eD8MSpWX/s1600/msm-powder.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The supplement form of MSM is a white, odorless powder and is most well known for its use as a natural arthritis remedy since it helps to soften the joint tissue and restore flexibility. This is one of the primary reasons MSM is so effective as a topical skincare ingredient, among other properties it possesses. It is water soluble as a supplement, so will not build to toxic levels as your body just uses what is needed and flushes the rest out.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Some people also report they experience improved skin when supplementing with MSM internally. This is no surprise since our skin cells are also "soft tissue" cells that need to retain their pliability and flexibility, and this compound helps the cells do just that both topically and internally.</span><br />
<br />
<h1 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
MSM softens the skin and makes it smoother, more hydrated and "flexible"</h1>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">MSM has a softening, deeply penetrating effect on the skin when applied topically. It has the unique ability to penetrate several skin layers and therefore provides a better, more deeply hydrating and smoothing effect for longer periods of time. For this reason, it is one of the best ingredients to look for if you have chronically dry or mature </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/skin.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">skin</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> that has lost a lot of its elasticity.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The sulfur compound also has an anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing effect, which may be useful for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, acne and psoriasis. It also may help smooth and soften acne scars and hasten the healing of existing lesions.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">MSM helps make the skin cells more permeable, and therefore more absorbent and receptive to plumping and </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/hydration.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">hydration</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">. This means that if it is an ingredient in your facial moisturizer, it can help the other ingredients gain entry to the skin cells in order to hydrate them more effectively. It can also accomplish this when taken internally as a supplement, especially when plenty of water is taken in throughout the day to enhance consistent skin hydration.</span><br />
<br />
<h1 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
MSM helps even skin tone, diminish hyperpigmentation and age spots</h1>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">MSM has been reported to help reduce hyperpigmentation issues such as melasma, pink or faded-red acne scars, age spots, freckles and sun damage both as an internal supplement and external application although most people consistently reported greater success when using it topically for this purpose. It has a brightening and luminizing effect on the skin overall when applied topically, and over time may also help reduce uneven skin tone and help correct areas of darker pigmentation as well.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Since </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/MSM.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">MSM</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> makes the skin cells more permeable, it may very well have to do with the synergy of other lightening ingredients contained in a cream or lotion, so it may also allow natural skin brighteners to better penetrate the skin. The exact mechanism of this topical skin-lightening and brightening effect is not clear, although it is likely due to its ability to soften the cells.</span><br />

Six Weeks later<br />
<br />
Our Acne and problem skin line Starter Package includes:<br />
Radiant Face Wash for Problem skin<br />
Radiant Moisturizer for Problem skin<br />
Pink Himalayan Salt Face Exfoliator<br />
Dead Sea Mud Mask<br />
<br />
We have found that in order to achieve the results that you see in the pictures above, it is necessary to use all 4 of the products together on a weekly and daily basis. In order to see these type of results it requires diligence and consistency with the 4 products. Our wonderful volunteer followed this routine in order to clear up her skin, and achieve the outcome you see.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Some people think that putting oil on top of an oily face will only make it oilier. Quite the opposite. Oils dissolve oil. Soaps and cleansers dry out your skin and cause the body to work over time to produce more oil to balance your skin's PH. Result, oily skin, which clogs pores and leads to breakouts. The oils in RRB face wash and moisturizer will balance the skins PH.</b><br />
<b>Bacteria on and under the skin is another contributor to breakouts. These new formulas contain several anti bacterial, anti fungal oils to fight and kill bacteria. </b><br />
<b>There are a lot of reasons for breakouts and acne, these are only a few. We also know that this skin care routine works much better with a healthy diet and the removal of foods from your diet that contribute to breakouts, but that is for another blog post. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So here is our 4 product routine</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Night routine</b></u><br />
Cleanse the face with the RRB Face Wash<br />
Re apply and sleep in<br />
<br />
<b><u>Mornings</u></b><br />
Exfoliate<br />
Apply Daily Moisturizer for problem skin<br />
<u><br /></u>
<b><u>2 times a week apply the Mud Mask</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b>It's actually that simple and fast</b>. The Face wash is a cleanser, toner and night time moisturizer.<br />
<br />
The <b>oils in the Acne line are completely different</b> than the ones in our regular skin care oils. They were selected because of their benefits and healing properties for skin that is broken out or prone to breakouts. They will also help heal scarring which can be a by product of challenging difficult skin.<br />
<br />
The<b> Face exfoliato</b>r will help the skin eliminate dead skin cells from the surface of the skin which are one of the reasons for clogged pores, which lead to breakouts.<br />
<br />
The <b>Dead Sea Mud Mask</b> will help pull toxins out of the skin and dry up breakouts.<br />
<br />
These can be purchased in a kit to begin the program, then replaced individually as they are used up.<br />
<br />
<b>All of this is done without the use of chemicals, or toxins, only 100% Organic unrefined oils.</b><br />
<br />
You can go to the Real Raw Beauty website at www.realrawbeauty.com and click on the products and read more on the oils included in each product and their benefits.<br />

Organic symbols are everywhere you look today. Produce, clothing, soaps, spices, coconut water, fruit drinks, protein powders, cosmetics. and oils....the list is endless. I want to share with you a little bit of information about <b>organic oils </b>that you may not know.<br />
Just because an oil says that it is organic doesn't mean that there has not been chemicals involved in the extraction process to remove the oil from the nut or seed. Take Almond oil for example. You can grow an Organic grove of almond trees and never put any pesticides or herbicides on them in the growing process and follow all the organic guidelines to meet the criteria to say-grown Organic. <b>But you may not be aware, when the oil is extracted form the organic almond, most companies use petroleum or some other chemical solvents to extract the oil along with extremely high temperatures. Now your organic almond oil has chemicals in them. This process is called refinement. This type of extraction saves companies lots of money, but you think you are buying 100% Organic. What we need to be looking for in oils is not just the word Organic but the statement, Organic, unrefined and unfiltered. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
In order for an oil to be labeled <b>unrefined t</b>he nuts must be extracted by some type of cold pressed method. This type of extraction of the oils does not use any solvents, hexane or alcohol and this means that the oils have not been processed through heat intensive hydraulic extraction, which will produce unhealthy, lower quality oils.<br />
Unrefined oils maintain their rich strong flavor and color and nutrients.<br />
<br />
Also oils may go through a filtering process that uses bleaching or synthetic silica to eliminate carotenoids, fatty acids and pesticides or active carbon to deodorize and reduce orders. Needless to say these steps produce a<b> lower standard oil</b>.<br />
<br />
Oils that say <b>unrefined</b> do not go through this process.<br />
<br />
So when choosing oils, choose <b>100% Organic, unrefined and unfiltered for your skin.</b> This guarantees quality and integrity for your skin. This is our standard at <b>Real Raw Beauty.</b> Our oils that are extracted from a seed or a nut are not only <b>Organic,</b> but <b>unrefined </b>and <b>unfiltered</b>. It <b>makes a </b>difference. <b>And when you use Real Raw Beauty oils on your face and body you will see and feel the difference.</b> Check out the ingredient labels on your skin care. Unless it says <b>100% Organic, unrefined, unfiltered</b>....<b>.it's not.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
I just recently came across and read a book, "The Hormone of Desire" by Dr Susan Rako. She is a Harvard trained Boston based psychiatrist that wrote this book almost 20 years ago. Created out of her own experience, addressed to women and to their doctors, this book redefines the concept of hormone replacement therapy to include testosterone for the large population of woman who need it for the maintenance of vital and sexual energy-whether their testosterone deficiency has been caused by natural aging and menopause, surgical removal of ovaries, or the effects of chemotherapy.<br />
<br />
She states in the beginning of the book,"My experience began like that of many women approaching menopause. I have always been comfortable with my body's female manifestations and rhythms. I had expected to go through menopause "naturally" without the the use of hormones. When I was 47 still having menstrual periods-irregular-I could not make sense of loss of general vital energy, loss and thinning of hair, and loss of sexual energy I experienced. To say that I was lacking a feeling of well-being was an understatement.<br />
In a search to learn what I could find about loss of sexual and vital energy at menopause, I became very familiar with the stacks of Harvard's Countway Medical Library. The data was there. But it didn't say estrogen was what I needed. It said testosterone.<br />
I soon learned that research has shown:<br />
1. A woman's normal physiology includes the production of a critical amount of testosterone, essential to her normal sexual development, to the healthy functioning of virtually all tissues in her body, and to her experience of vital energy and sexual libido.<br />
2. This critical amount of testosterone decreases after menopause, in many women resulting in a loss of vital energy and sexual libido."<br />
<br />
And that is just the first couple of paragraphs at the beginning of the book. I wanted to share this book because it helped me so much. She not only goes deeply into the symptoms and what to expect in our 40's, 50's and beyond from deficient testosterone levels, but provides solutions. There is so much information out there and available for men and testosterone replacement, but you really have to dig to find information for women. This book is a great place to start.<br />
<br />
I am not a doctor and would never give any medical advice. But I do take <b>my health</b> into my own hands and find solutions to any and everything that pertains to me living a vibrant, healthy, satisfying happy life.<br />

<br />
<br />
Fulvic Acid is quickly becoming recognized as one of the key elements and scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century. Doctors and Scientist from around the world are discovering it's extraordinary potential. Here is a little exert from Natural News on Fulvic Acid:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"If you would like to live to a healthy, ripe old age, take a cue from some of the most long-lived (and robust) people on the planet by consuming a diet rich in fulvic acid. Formed over thousands of years from microorganisms' decomposed organic matter, fulvic acid is at once nourishing and detoxifying. Offering outstanding protection against cognitive impairment, heavy metals and numerous health complaints - including diabetes, inflammation and chronic fatigue - fulvic acid has kept the Himalayan communities of India, Nepal and Pakistan sharp and resilient for centuries.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Fulvic acid is normally present in healthy soils, which is then absorbed by plants. Unfortunately, through modern farming practices and use of agricultural chemicals, fulvic acid levels have dropped substantially over the years. Modern water treatment facilities further remove this important element from our food supply. Considering that fulvic acid is a formidable antioxidant, is mineral-rich and dramatically improves the uptake and utilization of nutrients, it's no wonder that disease in westernized countries is rampant as exposure to naturally occurring fulvic acid declines.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">According to Dr. Edward Group, founder of </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Global Healing Center</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">:</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"Fulvic acid is beneficial in part because as plants and other living things absorb high levels of fulvic acid, their biochemical reactions are sped up and become more efficient. Enzyme activity increases and cell membranes become more permeable. Water is able to enter cells at an above-normal rate. This is beneficial for both plants and animals by promoting balanced hydration and allowing the body to pass unwanted toxic substances."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Dr. Group continues: "Ingestion of </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/fulvic_acid.html" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">fulvic acid</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> is known to increase the ability of a cell to release toxic metals.</span><br />
<br />
So what is Fulvic Acid and why is it so good for you?<br />
<br />
Fulvic Acid contains over 72 minerals, 9 vitamins and 18 amino acids and an abundance of other beneficial plant-source fulvic-humic acid nutrients that are <b>nature's way of helping the body.</b><br />
Fulvic Acid is found in the soil, which before commercialized farming, was abundant in top soil for growing vegetables and fruits rich in minerals. It is a derivative of microbial degradation of humid substance. In short microorganisms in the soil, essential to healthy plants.<br />
Now our farming soil for the most part is mineral deficient because food quality is sacrificed for quantity. Today the application of excessive amounts of nitrate fertilizers, eliminate the indigenous microbial life within the soil. When microbial life is inhibited or destroyed, vital fulvic and humid acids are exhausted. More pesticides equal less and less of fulvic acid which is needed for healthy plants.<br />

<br />
The list is actually much longer than this. But I think you can read this and understand how important fulvic-humic acid is to the body.<br />
<br />
Before commercialized farming we could get all of this from our plants, because they were getting it from the soil. But now we live in different times and we have to find other ways to take in this very vital nutrient.<br />
<br />
Today companies are getting fulvic acid from areas of ancient deposits of lush plant matter that were buried and naturally decomposed millions of years ago resulting in pure form of organic matter.<br />
<br />
Also in the Himalayan Mountains Shilajit is being harvested containing fulvic acid.<br />

<br />
<br />
This beautiful plant is a borage oil plant better known as a "starflower". It has been recognized and used for over 1500 years. Today the plant is best known for the oil that is extracted from it's seeds. It has the richest known source of an omega 6 essential fatty acid called GLA, gamma-linolenic acid, necessary for healthy hydrated skin.<br />
Since a lot my readers like to know the science behind things, I will give you a small biochemistry lesson. But if you just want to read about the benefits, you can totally skip the next few paragraphs!!<br />
In a nutshell, our body has the ability to produce GLA. But it must have linoleum acid, (LA), to do so as it's starting material. LA is an essential fatty acid that our body is unable to make and we must ingest LA as part of our everyday diet. Once you ingest the LA from an oil source, it is acted upon by an enzyme, D6D, which converts the LA to GLA.<br />
<b>Stay with me here, I am getting to the important stuff!!</b><br />
Once LA is converted to GLA it goes a step further via some more biochemical steps and is <b><i>converted</i></b><b><i> to PG1, a key molecule for maintaining healthy skin. PG1 has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and its is very important in regulating water loss and protecting the skin form injury and damage</i>.</b><br />
<b><i>It has been shown that people with skin disorders, such as eczema, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis show a decrease in GLA. </i></b><br />
<b>Basically, GLA is mandatory for healthy skin.</b><br />
So what does Borage oil have to do with GLA? Used as a supplement Borage oil can supply the body <b><i>directly</i></b> with GLA and therefore allowing the production of normal levels of PG1which is essential for regulating inflammation and water loss.<br />
<br />
Okay, finally the benefits!<br />

<br />
Borage oil has been known to do the following:<br />
1) Help clear up acne and rosacea by working to dilute the sebum, (a thick oily substance that is over secreted in some people with acne.)<br />
2) Help reduce clogged pores.<br />
3) Help treat Rosacea by reducing inflammation.<br />
4) Help tighten the skin because of the tannins.<br />
5) Help restore suppleness, elasticity and tone.<br />
6) High in salicylic acid, for anti acne and anti septic qualities.<br />
7) Helps rehydrate the skin.<br />
<br />
I will have to say that I have been taking this supplement for 6 weeks and can tell a noticeable difference in the moisture level under the first layer of my skin. I believe it is a great supplement to add to your Real Raw Beauty routine, especially if you struggle with any type of skin disorders.<br />
<br />
I did a lot of research to determine which one to get, but I will spare you the details of why one type is better than another. Here is the one I chose.<br />

Every now and then I will repost a past blog post for new readers and a reminder to those who follow every week. Actually reposting this reminded me to order some more. I really do love this stuff for my hair, skin and nails. It's also great for detoxing. </div>

<br />
Up until 2 months ago I had never even heard of Diatomaceous Earth. To be perfectly honest I couldn't even pronounce it correctly! But I started reading up on it and decided to give it a try.<br />
Here is what I found out. Diatomaceous Earth comes form naturally formed sedimentary minerals that are from the remains of what was once oceanic unicellular and algae known as diatoms.<br />
Diatoms, the oceans "spiny honeycombs" are over 30 million years old and were formed when these microscopic algae-like plants died and remained compounded in the earth's surface as skeletal remains. These remains emit silica,<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Diatomaceous Earth has amazing benefits and it is so easy to take. I put a tbsp in my smoothie every morning. Some people just mix it in water and drink it down. It is a white powder and dissolves in water or juice.<br />
DE is:<br />
33% silicon<br />
19% calcium<br />
5% sodium<br />
3% magnesium<br />
2 % iron<br />
the rest are trace minerals<br />
Here are some of the many benefits:<br />
<br />
1. It is a digestive tract cleaner. As it moves through your digestive tract it attracts and absorbs bacteria, pesticides, viruses, endotoxins, E-coli, and heavy metals. These toxins are trapped and passed out of the body. Also it will kill any parasites that are in stomach or digestive tracts.<br />
This is one of the main reasons that when people start taking DE that they just start feeling better, all of these toxins are being removed!<br />
<br />
2. It helps to reduce high cholesterol. A small amount of DE gets absorbed into the blood stream as silica. One of the benefits of silica is that it helps to destroy bad fats.<br />
Which in turn helps reduce high blood pressure.<br />
<br />
3. Healthier, younger looking skin. Because you are taking in silica, this helps slow down the degenerative process of connective tissue. As we age we begin to produce less silica. But through taking DE you can begin to restore silica to your body which helps with the collagen production in your skin. Collagen is largely made up of silica, which is the glue that holds us together.<br />
<br />
4. Helps your hair grow. I have definitely noticed, (and so has my hairdresser) that my hair has taken on quite a growing spree since I have been taking DE.<br />
<br />
5. It claims to help fade age spots.<br />
<br />
6. Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels.<br />
<br />
7. The silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging.<br />
<br />
8. It helps prevent urinary tract infections<br />
The list of benefits is way too long for me to write about, but this will get you started.<br />
<br />
Also I do want to say that DE can be given to your pets to help with joint issues, and also help kill any parasites or worms that your pets may have.<br />
It can also be lightly rubbed into their coats to help fight against fleas and ticks!!<br />
<br />
This stuff is AMAZING!!!<br />
<br />
But do not confuse it with Diatomaceous for swimming pools. They are processed in different ways and Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade is for human and pet consumption and Diatomaceous is for swimming pool filtration systems. When you order this, you will want to make sure you order Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade. This is what I order from Amazon.<br />

Exfoliating our skin is a must. If we want that beautiful radiant glow, we have to exfoliate to get rid of the dead skin cells that are sitting on the top layer of our skin, and yes we ALL have dead skin cells.<br />
I wrote on this topic a couple of years ago, but that was before Real Raw Beauty had their own face exfoliator. Well, we are happy to say that the Pink Himalayan Salt Face Exfoliator is now one of our permanent products. This product contains Pink Himalayan extra fine salt along and organic oils. Perfect combination for radiant glowing skin.<br />

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<b>Here are a few reasons why it is so important to exfoliate.</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) <b>Helps diminish signs of aging.</b> As we age our skin becomes drier and has less elasticity, which results in fine lines and wrinkles. Also, the texture of our skin is not what it was in our younger years. This is because of the multiple layers of dead skin cells that accumulate over the years. Exfoliating helps your skin to maintain its radiance and lighten and brighten age and sun spots. The organic oils will help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) <b>Helps clear acne and breakouts.</b> Exfoliation helps to reduce the occurrence of acne and blackouts. Acne-prone skin sheds extra skin cells more than other skin types, but the cells do not fall away. Instead the dead cells stick to the skin, clogging the pores and hair follicles. As the dead cell debris builds, the skin produces excess follicle oils, which leads to blackheads and breakouts. You have to exfoliate to get rid of these excess dead skin cells.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) <b>Reduces large pores.</b> Along with removing dead skin cells, exfoliation removes the dirt stuck deep in your pores. Cleansing your skin alone will not accomplish this. When pores become clogged they appear larger. Exfoliating will diminish the size of the pores and give your skin that healthy polished glow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) <b>Improves the texture of your skin.</b> You can speed up the skin renewal process by exfoliating the dead skin cells, allowing the new healthy cells to take their place. This process turns your complexion from dull to bright, vibrant and smooth. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles and keeps your skin softer.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Helps promote cellular renewal. </b> This in turn helps produce collagen and helps improve the skins elasticity.</div>
<div>

Those are some great reasons why all of us would want to exfoliate.<br />

The Face Exfoliant is made from pure pink salt from the Himalayan mountains and 5 organic oils. The combinations of salt and oils is perfect for <b>daily</b> exfoliation. <br />

Actually the question, "what supplements do you take and where do you get them?", consumes most of the emails and texts I receive.<br />
I have written on most of them, but I will re post the ones that I take daily. Before I list them all, I want to show a diagram of what happens to our skin as we age. This is a cross section of our skin. The top pink layer is the epidermis, the middle section with the collagen and vascular tissue is dermis and the bottom section is the hypo dermis.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's a little hard to read the words below the pictures, but there are 2 gray lines under each picture and the first line points to the collagen (looks like a ball of cotton) in our skin and the second gray line shows the blood flow to our skin. As you can see in your 20's you have plenty of blood flow and collagen. It begins to diminish in your 30's and 40's and by the time you are in your 50's there is very little collagen and and blood flow. The result, wrinkles, which is depicted by the wave portion of the epidermis on the 50+ photo.<br />

This picture of the sliced opened apple shows what happens when you cut it in half and it is exposed to oxygen. This is called oxidation. It begins to age the apple and turn it brown. That is exactly what happens to our skin when we encounter <b>free radicals. Our skin begins to oxidize and age.</b><br />
Free radicals are produced in the body to aid in metabolic processes like digestion and conversion of food into energy. But they are also found in the air we breathe, food, water, cigarette smoke, car and industrial exhaust, to name a few. <b>When we have too many free radicals they affect the skin. </b>They <b>speed up aging by breaking down collagen and reduce the amount of oxygen to our cells.</b> They age our skin. <b>Antioxidants</b> save our cells from <b>free radicals,</b> and help <b>slow down</b> the aging process. There are foods that are full of antioxidants along with supplements you can take. I am just going to tell you about the supplements I take today, I'll save the foods with highest antioxidants for another post!!<br />
<br />
<b>The supplements I take are for the purpose of helping rebuild collagen and increase blood flow and fight free radicals. </b><br />
<br />
My newest discovery is Phytoceramide. This is a plant derived equivalent of ceramics, a lipid that keeps your skin hydrated and plump in the epidermis part of our skin. We start to loose ceramics as we age just like collagen and blood flow. The result, your skin begins to appear rough and wrinkled. Taking phytoceramide helps restore the outer layer of our skin. These powerful molecules are carried to the inner layer the dermis and then seep into the epidermis and restore the damaged barrier, hydrate, moisturize and help fill out wrinkles.<br />
<br />
Most pytoceramides are derived from wheat, but I am not a fan of wheat products so I found one that is wheat free.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPdiEBRixyhbzzzyzDG6jrkCiS-JzjilgDDpf4RWELcWrva00wq9aZmF58O5GYEYCpJlekPavApHLJNZ12WWMf4sXjOKDENyJIQlaeI96fAjdpztELCle7XtwaXbXEhnNHvnbukjKKA_wP/s1600/102681-sphyto3bottles1396500235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPdiEBRixyhbzzzyzDG6jrkCiS-JzjilgDDpf4RWELcWrva00wq9aZmF58O5GYEYCpJlekPavApHLJNZ12WWMf4sXjOKDENyJIQlaeI96fAjdpztELCle7XtwaXbXEhnNHvnbukjKKA_wP/s1600/102681-sphyto3bottles1396500235.jpg" /></a></div>

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a Chinese herb, He Shou Wu. I told you that one of the benefits of this supplement was that it slows down the hair graying process. I will have to say that I do believe it really works. I normally get my hair colored once every 4 weeks. And that is because by the 3rd week after going to my salon I am pretty gray. Not just my roots but my eyebrows. I actually called my salon and changed my appointment because I clearly don't need to go next week. So if you are like me and visit your salon quite often, you might want to try out this herb. I couldn't believe it worked so fast and so well. I don't know if it works on everyone, but it is definitely worth a purchase. I also think it would be a great preventative if you are younger and not experiencing graying yet. But if you want to go naturally gray, I would say don't take it because it will delay the process.<br />
<br />
So Pearl Powder....who would have ever thought that you can grind up pearls and they are so beneficial for you and your skin.<br />

Here are a few things to know about Pearl Powder.<br />
<br />
Pearl Powder is an ancient Chinese beauty secret that has been used for over 3000 years to promote lustrous, pure beautiful skin. It is renown for fighting wrinkles and the signs of aging.<br />
<br />
It has very high concentrations of calcium and minerals as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It has been found to promote cell regeneration. It helps clarify the complexion and treat acne. It is good for lightening hyper pigmentation.<br />
<br />
It is made from ground pure freshwater pearls. Once the pearls are chosen they are disinfected and then ground into powder. They contain 18 amino acids and over a dozen minerals. These essential building blocks of collagen and protein each have a specific function. If your skin lacks any of these amino acids the result is dry skin and wrinkles. When taken internally, it strengthens bones, muscles and nerves. It reduces skin blemishes and and helps remove pigmentation. the powder enhances the activity of super-oxide dismutase (SOD), this helps eliminate free radicals, skin aging and wrinkles.<br />
It has special attributes for removing skin ulcers, melasma (cause of freckles, age spots and dark spots on the skin. It nourishes the skin and makes it smooth, elastic, healthy and naturally beautiful. It also contains natural sunscreens.<br />

<br />
I have just recently come across this Chinese herb that is considered the most amazing longevity herb of all the 10,000 herbs. This article written in Natural News explained it's benefits so well, there was no need for me to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. I love this herb, but I haven't been taking it long enough to know if it will reverse the graying of my hair, as it claims that it does for some people that take it. But everything else it claims to do I am experiencing. But trust me, I will let everyone know, especially my hair dresser if my hair begins to reverse and stop graying!!<br />
So just take a few minutes and read about this incredible Chinese herb. It's worth the read.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Out of about 10,000 Chinese medicinal plants only about 60 belong to the class of Superior Tonic Herbs. Out of these 60 herbs He Shou Wu is the most amazing longevity tonic of all. It is widely used in Chinese herbal medicine as a tonic to prevent premature aging by tonifying the Kidney and Liver functions. It also is known to bring up Jing (vital essence), nourishing the blood, and fortifying the muscles, tendons and bones. It strengthens and stabilizes the lower back and knees. He Shou Wu is also used to enhance sexual drive and fertility in men and women. It can increase sperm count in men and help build more semen even in old age. It helps build ova in women as well. It is also widely used in Asia to maintain the youthful condition and color of the hair. This is, for some reason, its most popular attribute but it does so much more than this! There are countless legends of people that have lived well past the century mark taking this herb, including Li Qing Yeun who lived to be 197 years old!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Many people (Including the author) have claimed He Shou Wu has made all the difference in the world as far as stopping pain in the knees and lower back.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">He Shou Wu (Called "Foti" by some) is the "Prepared" root of Polygonum multiform - a large vining plant. It is prepared by slicing the root shortly after harvesting and then cooking it in black bean soup (in a proportion of 10 parts He Shou Wu to 1 part black beans) until the soup is exhausted. The "prepared" roots are then dried. This is what makes </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/He_Shou_Wu.html" style="color: #3366cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;">He Shou Wu</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> a tonic worthy of taking for the rest of one's life. This process has been done in this way for around 1,500 years. If the herb is not prepared in this way it will not have the same tonic energy. However raw He Shou Wu is often used to stop acne and can have a strong laxative effect.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">He Shou Wu is a tonic to the endocrine glands; it improves health, stamina and resistance to disease. It is used to reduce cholesterol due in part to its lecithin content. It is used for angina pectoris, bloody stools, hypoglycemia, diabetes, night sweating and has been found to be helpful in schizophrenia.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Science takes He Shou Wu very seriously:</b><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Studies show that He Shou Wu extract improves the cardiovascular system, enhances immune functions, slows the degeneration of glands, increases antioxidant activity, and reduces the accumulation of lipid peroxidation. Such findings suggest that ho-shou-wu is helpful in combating some of the processes that lead to conditions characteristic of old age, thereby also reducing the risk of fatal diseases (e.g., cancer) and incidents (e.g., heart attack, stroke). He Shou Wu was shown to have effects on the antioxidant system superoxide dismutase (SOD), accumulation of lipid peroxidase, and enhancement of cell-mediated immune responses.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Pharmacological studies have shown that prepared He Shou Wu root extract can prolong the life cycle of somatic cells. Laboratory studies have shown that He Shou Wu can promote strong development and prolonged growing cycle in mammalian cells compared to cells in the control group, which demonstrated aging and degeneration.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">He Shou Wu`s effect on protecting the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/liver.html" style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration: none;">liver</a>:</b><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In experiments on mice, prepared He Shou Wu reduces buildup of hepatic (liver) fat. He Shou Wu also lessens the enlargement of the liver caused by carbon tetrachloride poisoning.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">He Shou Wu can significantly counter the liver damage in rats caused by peroxidized (spoiled) corn oil. The damage includes fatty liver, liver function damage and elevated levels of peroxidized lipids in the liver.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">At a fundamental level in the liver`s cells, in vitro studies have demonstrated He Shou Wu`s ability to inhibit the lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes induced by ADP and NADPH.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">These studies show that He Shou Wu`s liver protection mechanism relies largely in its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation (LPO) and its damage to the liver cells.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Studies have also demonstrated that various laboratory animals fed He Shou Wu in their diets lived longer than control animals.</b><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Study 1: A decoction with He Shou Wu as the main ingredient prolonged the lifespan of fruit flies. At 0.1% strength, the decoction could prolong the lifespan by 5.83%. At 0.5% strength, it could prolong the lifespan by 12.03%.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Study 2: He Shou Wu has been shown to slow down the aging of vital organs in aged animals, especially the reproductive organs, the ovary, the uterus and the testicle. The same formula also demonstrated significant results in open human clinical studies.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Study 3: In an attempt to prove Shou Wu`s legendary reputation as being able to reverse grey hair to black, Shou Wu liquor (dilute alcohol extract) was given to 36 people with gray hair. 24 completely recovered their dark hair and 8 more showed improvement. The total effective rate was of 88.9%.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Taking He Shou Wu:</b><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Be sure to get it from a reliable source and be sure the roots are at least 4 years old and that it is traditionally prepared in black bean soup. 6-10 year old roots are available and can really show off the amazing powerful restorative energy of this Superior Chinese Tonic Herb.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Whether you plan on living to 200 years or you just want to preserve your vital essence and Qi to have the energy of a young person for the rest of your life, He Shou Wu should be tried by anyone. At least for the first 100 years of your life!</span><br />

for the weight you gain or lose. It matters for the skin you want to have. It matters for your attitude and disposition. It matters for your energy level. It matters for your sleep. It pretty much matters for every aspect of your life.<br />
<br />
I for the most part am a pretty "clean" eater. I don't like to put labels on myself declaring I am this kind of eater or another. I follow my intuition and knowledge of food and health. But I honestly have been trying to lose some weight for the last few months, with not much success. I told myself, it's because you had 4 kids, it's because you are 58 and don't produce estrogen anymore, you don't exercise enough.....blah, blah,blah. Basically, it's the stories I was telling myself. And I believed them <b>all.</b> Every time I looked in the mirror I focused on what I didn't like about my body instead of what I did. You do that long enough and you will keep getting more of what you don't want.<br />
So I decided to "clean" up my diet even more and start drinking live juices and smoothies during the day and a light healthy dinner at night. Green smoothies and juices are not only extremely healthy for you, but they are delicious, and filling. I always make more than I need and keep them in the refrigerator so I can grab some if I get hungry. I have a cold pressed juicer so I can store them during the day and not worry about them losing their nutrients.<br />

<br />
And I am here to tell you that it is working! After just one week of following that set up. I FEEL great which makes me ACT great, sleep better, have more energy and get more accomplished, oh yes, and I actually lost weight!! But one of the best results of juicing and drinking smoothies is what is does for your skin because your body is detoxing and getting toxins out of your skin and organs. Adding more alkaline foods to your diet also balances the body's PH. Why is this important for your skin? Because if your PH is off, your skin will react with <b><i>wrinkles, inflammation, and acne or breakouts.</i></b><br />
I will put a link at the end of the blog and it will explain more about your body's PH and give you a chart that tells you what foods are alkaline and which are acidic.<br />
It is pretty easy to notice if your PH is off. You will have inflammation, headaches, bloating, blemishes, low energy levels, along with increased amount of sickness to name a few. It will also effect the way you act.<br />
<br />
You just have to start somewhere. Make one minor change and notice how you FEEL! Start with a orange, pineapple carrot juice in the morning and notice how your body feels when you are drinking it. Buy yourself a book on juicing and get some ideas or surf the Internet. It is full of information on juicing and making smoothies.<i><b> The more healthy items you add to your diet make it very easy to start dropping the things you don't want in it. </b></i><br />
I actually had someone tell me today that they had seen all the pictures that I posted on Facebook last week of my smoothies and juices, and that it inspired them so much they ordered a blender and started making making smoothies this weekend!!!<br />

<br />Welcome to Real Raw Women!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17221576653147268867noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814763454155537296.post-41768119298274444292014-08-04T15:32:00.000-07:002014-08-04T15:57:07.900-07:00Save the Telomeres, don't be frayed....You are probably saying.......what in the world???<br />
<br />
If you are interested in aging gracefully or slowing down that process, here is some exciting news for you. Have you ever heard of telomeres? If you haven't heard of them, here it is in a nutshell.<br />
<br />
To start off with, a little 7th grade science.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1KE2UeBJZgvH8w4ubDgqWDbkjEwDpssL15Ex8EXKLhMW5QsaMeEghGHpxv-ncyizSe7epucWLqjGWPmOVelnUihN_qu5RKMTni_dLFetfM7Pc9enbYDxKDL1DYi6Ktt4ahrmha34kXb4H/s1600/Cell+Chromosome++DNA+Gene.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1KE2UeBJZgvH8w4ubDgqWDbkjEwDpssL15Ex8EXKLhMW5QsaMeEghGHpxv-ncyizSe7epucWLqjGWPmOVelnUihN_qu5RKMTni_dLFetfM7Pc9enbYDxKDL1DYi6Ktt4ahrmha34kXb4H/s1600/Cell+Chromosome++DNA+Gene.gif" height="149" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Each of our cells has a nucleus. Inside the nucleus are our chromosomes, which contain our DNA. The ends of our chromosomes are called telomers. They are what cap off the ends of the chromosomes. Essential to the telomeres function is a special enzyme called telomerase, which replenishes the telomeres as cells divide.<br />
But the body has a limited supply of telomerase, which restricts cells' ability to replenish their telomeres. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYyB7iEiYnrKkY4pgB-ZIjYmxRzmXb29iDXQiY0EbgBBPzk_aYveuWvXESnXKmNLjwc_9JOOG5yjFzWgf8ynPhWxgE030zT70AASIFfDDnki68c4a3UTT7yVA5yINED7Uh_0CuAJNTKHlN/s1600/chromosomes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYyB7iEiYnrKkY4pgB-ZIjYmxRzmXb29iDXQiY0EbgBBPzk_aYveuWvXESnXKmNLjwc_9JOOG5yjFzWgf8ynPhWxgE030zT70AASIFfDDnki68c4a3UTT7yVA5yINED7Uh_0CuAJNTKHlN/s1600/chromosomes.jpg" /></a></div>
In this picture you can see the red caps at the end of the chromosomes, which are the telemeres. Modern science has made a connection between <b>telomeres</b> and<b> aging.</b><br />
Whenever your cells replicate, (millions reproduce every day) your telomeres shrink and begin to fray and unravel like a shoestring. After so many replications the shortened stubby telomeres reach a critical place where they are no longer<b><i> usable</i></b> and that is an indicator to our body that life is over. So if we want to slow down the aging process, the telomeres need to be<b> replenished </b>with the enzyme telomerase. Just think what this means for our skin and organs.<br />
But where do we find something like that?<br />
<br />
It's called Astragalus root! Astragalus causes the body to <b>"turn on" </b>the enzyme telomerase, this maintains and lengthen the teleomeres. It also protects the telomeres in the same way a plastic cap protects shoestrings so they don't fray. This herb is in a class of herbs found in northern Asia and has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7ZTd5okb9UJVIJaA0ugLB60hSE0Aoy1k-KO9Ga3nh7EtuAwPQ2vHSFcGDafnPIOAPZzEuYqTU1MFXBkFNpk_ZK44SuUmQGFmsd6iiFFYsJXVgjqGePv8AygkS1KVPzNJ-rS96eq1YqvK/s1600/astragalus2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7ZTd5okb9UJVIJaA0ugLB60hSE0Aoy1k-KO9Ga3nh7EtuAwPQ2vHSFcGDafnPIOAPZzEuYqTU1MFXBkFNpk_ZK44SuUmQGFmsd6iiFFYsJXVgjqGePv8AygkS1KVPzNJ-rS96eq1YqvK/s1600/astragalus2.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And that is not the only thing Astragalus does. It reduces the amount of nitric oxide released from cells, which reduces inflammation. It has been used to treat ulcers, wounds and reduce hemorrhaging. It stimulates the immune system and strengthens the digestive system and increases energy levels.<br />
<br />
I don't like to take tons of supplements. I would rather eat really clean, juice and drink smoothies, but this is one herb I will take from here on out. I bought mine from Amazon, Astragalus Supreme,<br />

Not all brands are the same, I started out with another company's brand and switched over to Gaia. It makes you feel wonderful on top of all the health benefits you get. So my new catch phrase is " Save the telomeres, don't be frayed".<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXnPzOWN4Wht7H_Y6PSdaA3QlPrZhMaE98GeLjualza1AaiXNMpQw-MOk83kakCOUMQPsJRWc7LG4memqSt5jm3XJ6eB-Tl81nckwGVru3aRnmo1_tymx6y9OuZTHMjzv24gNBvStmms_n/s1600/cleopatra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXnPzOWN4Wht7H_Y6PSdaA3QlPrZhMaE98GeLjualza1AaiXNMpQw-MOk83kakCOUMQPsJRWc7LG4memqSt5jm3XJ6eB-Tl81nckwGVru3aRnmo1_tymx6y9OuZTHMjzv24gNBvStmms_n/s1600/cleopatra.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
Washing your face with oils dates back to the days of Cleopatra. An exceptionally beautiful woman in her day. She washed her face and entire body in oils. But somewhere between the days of Cleopatra and the 21st century we got away from that amazing cleansing method for our skin.<br />
<br />
The booming skin care industry wants us to believe their claims of the need to rid the skin of oil completely and apply chemicals in order to avoid imperfections. It seems that we all have been influenced by the mega marketing claims, some so much that they find themselves stripping the oils from tender, delicate tissue of their facial skin with antibacterial this and that. I mentioned on Real Raw Beauty's facebook page the other day that two of the main reasons to reconsider using OTC cleansers, 1) They strip the natural oils out of our skin leaving our face to try and produce excess amounts of oil to replace the moisture. This causes an imbalance in our natural PH which is necessary to maintain beautiful skin. <br />
2) Most cleansers contain fragrance. Even most "unscented" products contain a fragrance. All of this leads to dry, irritated skin being replaced with oily inflamed skin.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
People in the Health industry are beginning to see the importance of cleansing your skin with oils. Also publications, such as the Huffington Post and Cosmopolitan are producing articles about the subject.<br />
<br />
The Huffington Post published an article "The Face Washing Method that will give your skin good oil." The article states that women in Europe have been using oils to clean their face forever.<br />
In 2013 Cosmopolitan served up an article "The Magic of Oils", Have you tried the sexiest product in history?" Here is a little exert from the article,<br />
"As a cleanser, oils dissolve the denser sebum that collects in our pores, (causing blackheads). As a moisturizer, oils rapidly penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, protecting against the breakdown of proteins in the cell wall with fatty and linoleic acids mimicking what our bodies produce naturally. The oils act as humectants which help our skin retain moisture."<br />

<br />
If you haven't tried this method of cleaning your skin you are missing out on a wonderful experience and glowing healthy skin. I will admit that the idea of cleansing an oily face with oil does sound a little strange. But here are a few reasons to give it a try:<br />
*Oil dissolves oil<br />
*They will cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria NATURALLY<br />
*With consistent use clears up skin issues such as oily skin, dry skin, whiteheads, blackheads, mild to moderate acne.<br />
*Leaves your skin clean, balanced and moisturized.<br />
*No harmful toxins or chemicals<br />
<br />
Real Raw Beauty only uses the purest Organic oils in their products. The combination of the oils will dissolve the dirt and oil on your skin, help clear up your skin and leave it clean, moist and glowing.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
One of the main questions that I get asked about RRB products is, "where did the idea to create this product line come from?" So for everyone that has been wondering the same thing but hasn't personally asked me, here is the answer.<br />
<br />
I have been interested in beauty and face products my WHOLE life. When I was 10 or 11 years old I would save money from babysitting and go to a store like Walgreens and buy OTC face masks in a tube, cleansers, toners and moisturizers. No one had ever talked to me about beauty and skin products, but I was just <strong>fascinated</strong> with them. As I got older and had more money I would try out any new skin care product that came on the market. I read fashion magazines, not for the fashion but to read about the newest skin care rage. I always saw myself working in the beauty and skin care industry.<br />
I honestly believe that I have tried over 50-60 different skin care lines in my life. But the truth of the matter is they only made me happy for a while and then I was on to the next better product.<br />
<br />
When I became an adult and a mother I was very concerned about what my children ate and what I put on their skin at a time when there was no internet or cable to inform us of these things. This was almost 40 years ago when no one was really talking about health and nutrition or products that were good or bad for you.<br />
I bought wheat berries and ground flour and made my own bread. I baked healthy granola from scratch, I bought milk from a local farmer. When my children were babies I made their baby food, it didn't come in jars from the grocery, it came from my kitchen. I fed them fresh fruits and vegetables instead of food in a box. I didn't give them cokes and candy. I would go to farms and buy fresh vegetables and fruits and can and freeze them for the winter. No one told me about these things or to do them, I didn't even know other people that were doing these things. It truly was something that came from <strong>within</strong>, call it <strong>inner knowing, intuition, universal consciousness</strong>.....but I had it coursing through me. I just "<strong>knew</strong>" things.<br />
<br />
So I finally got tired of trying out OTC skin care lines. My diet was an organic plant based diet. I had the same conviction about what I put on my body as what went in my body. I searched for months to find a natural organic line that was chemical and toxin free. I didn't want to have to look up the ingredients in a dictionary anymore. I wanted the search to be over. The result, I found <strong><em>one</em></strong>, but I was so disappointed at what I experienced, I decided to create my own. I studied oils for months and months. I read everything I could find and ordered and tried 100's on my skin. After a year I finally came up with what I considered the perfect combination of oils for my face. I used them for months before I told my friends and family about them. <br />
<br />
They worked!! <br />
<br />
Not only did they work, but they were making my skin look better than when I was in my 30's and 40's. I "<strong><em>knew</em></strong>" I was onto something. My plan was just to share with my friends and daughters, but <strong>they all convinced me that I had to make this available to the public. They were all experiencing the same results that I was! They all said, " there are no products out on the market like these." So this is how Real Raw Beauty came about</strong>.<br />
And now so many women and men are enjoying the remarkable effect of these products on their skin and body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCOBS3WgvVDhAgTlQ30xajmddArOGr-i77q5mDtSk4zQtssxZYtjQg3NKOHCI0Ux1aLQqorb3CWBsd4WL_UMZgB4LEy5uuq4v9fLp_p9HIab-6O6KeD6whhmgL5VRlTUmiJz9Z2BuHPvl/s1600/tropical+picture2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCOBS3WgvVDhAgTlQ30xajmddArOGr-i77q5mDtSk4zQtssxZYtjQg3NKOHCI0Ux1aLQqorb3CWBsd4WL_UMZgB4LEy5uuq4v9fLp_p9HIab-6O6KeD6whhmgL5VRlTUmiJz9Z2BuHPvl/s1600/tropical+picture2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In the product line you will only see ingredients that are 100% organic. The oils are unfiltered and unrefined which means that not only were they grown organic, but during the extraction process of the oil from the nut or fruit there has been no use of chemicals. Most companies use petroleum to extract the oil from<strong><em> organic</em></strong> nuts and fruits, because it makes the oils cheaper to produce. So if you are buying a product that claims to have <strong><em>organic oils</em></strong> and it doesn't say unrefined and unfiltered, it has probably been extracted with chemicals.<br />
Our oils are all high end chemical free organic oils.<br />
<br />
Check out our website at <a href="http://www.realrawbeauty.com/">www.realrawbeauty.com</a> and read about our products. Also read the reviews. These are real customers and their experiences.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all my RRB customers that love their experience and keep spreading the news!<br />

All you need is 30 minutes out of your day to experience tighter, softer, more radiant skin. It is so effortless. I put it to my face, neck and chest. Wait 20 minutes and rinse it off in the sink or shower. Then I apply Real Raw Beauty's Radiant Skin or Daily Moisturizer as the icing on the cake!<br />
<br />
Here are a few facts about the Dead Sea Mud mask:<br />
<br />
The Dead Sea mud mask can improve the appearance of your skin by improving the elasticity and minimizing pores, wrinkles and lines. It also removes toxins from your skin cells.<br />
<br />
The mud is unique because of it's high concentrations of salts and minerals, particularly magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium. These minerals are very healing for the skin.<br />
<br />
People use Dead Sea Mud to control skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. The rich mineral content accelerates exfoliation and restores your skin's PH levels.<br />

<br />
<br />
I say use the mud anywhere on your body that you want to see minimized pores and tighter skin. <br />
<br />
Many companies that sell Dead Sea mud actually put harsh preservatives in the mud to make the shelf life longer. We can promise you we do not add anything to our mud. What you are buying is pure untouched mud from the Dead Sea. You are getting the benefits without having to travel across the world! Add our Dead Sea Salt Coconut Scrub and Radiant Body oil to your Dead Sea Mud, and you have your own luxurious spa treatment at home.<br />
<br />
I just finished doing a Real Raw Beauty mud mask treatment and I want you to see how amazing your skin can look! I do not have any makeup on my skin, only on my eyes. I put the mud on my face, neck and chest for 20 minutes then rinsed it off and applied Radiant Skin!<br />

Happy Mother's Day a little early to my wonderful mother who passed away 18 years ago. This picture was taken with my mom when I was 5 months pregnant with my 4th child, Rob. My mom was truly an amazing woman. I think she was way ahead of her time. She was strong and independent. She ran a household, held down a job, raised 4 kids and found the time to cook, sew and be a room mother for all four of her kids every year we were in elementary school. Honestly, she made every Halloween costume we ever wore. ( what mom does that?)<br />
One of her greatest talents was that she taught herself to paint in her 40's and became one of the best artist in my hometown, Paducah, Ky.<br />
<br />
One characteristic that I loved about my mother was that she never took no for an answer. She always found a way to get something done. She instilled within us, if there is a will there is a way.<br />
<br />
Oh and yes she had a sense of style!!!<br />

Even though my mom isn't here with me anymore, I still honor and love the incredible woman I knew. And everytime this holiday comes around, I always wish I had done more and pampered her more.<br />

I am going to give you the highlights of the article. You will probably recognize at least one of these from your daily routine.<br />

<strong>Using too much foundation</strong>,<br />
it will settle into any fine lines and wrinkles. Only apply where needed.<br />

<strong>Over concealing your under eye dark circles</strong>. <br />
Too much concealer will actually draw attention to your under eye area because the skin there is thin. Apply it only near the inner corners of your under eye where shadows are most prominent. "My tip" use concealor highlighters on top of regular concealor.<br />

<br />
<strong>A dark color lipstick makes any lip surface look smaller</strong>. <br />
To make your mouth look fuller-choose bright lipsticks and glosses, (peaches, pinks and vibrant reds over deep shades, (burgundies, wines and browns)<br />

<strong>Finishing off your makeup with face powder</strong> prevents light reflection and tends to magnify lines and wrinkles in the skin.<br />

<br />
<strong>Don't skip eyeliner altogether</strong>-it's a great way to make your eyes look more open, but choose brown <strong>over black.</strong><br />
#6<br />
Using liner and mascara on lower lids. Playing up your lower lashes can make your eyes look droopy and draw attention to dark circles. Personally I like a little liner and mascara on the lower lid.<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Going overboard with lip liner</strong>.<br />
If you line your lips too heavily with a lip color that is too dark, they will look tight and pursed. For the most natural effect-your lip liner should match the color of your lips.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Skipping blush</strong>.<br />
If blush is applied correctly it can offer a little lift. Smile and find the fleshiest parts of your cheek and apply the blush. Blend the color towards your temples.<br />

<br />
<strong>Applying lipstick straight from the tube</strong>.<br />
Use you finger or a lip/brush, so you don't apply too much. Concentrate the lipstick in the center of the mouth and blend with your finger.<br />

<br />
<strong>Choosing too dark of an eyebrow pencil</strong>. <br />
Choose a shade lighter than your natural brow.<br />
