A Fundamental Approach to Skincare

Fundamental Face Cream - An Organic Face Cream

There are a number of products and processes that you go through on a weekly basis to ensure the health of your skin, but many of these actually provide very little support to the skin.  If you're spending time on expensive skin masks or treatments that are rich in chemicals and other synthetic ingredients you may actually be causing more harm than good to your skin.  Fundamental Face Cream is an organic facial moisturizer that utilizes natural ingredients and is completely hypoallergenic. In addition, it's not tested on animals so has PETA and Leaping Bunny approval.  This natural face cream provides the skin with potent moisturizers, antioxidants, and anti inflammatory ingredients.  Together these natural ingredients leave your face looking phenomenal and feeling its healthiest.

The health of the skin largely depends on the proper production of sebum.  Sebum is the skin's natural oil, which is created in the sebaceous glands, and it plays an important role on the surface of the skin.  Maintaining a healthy balance of sebum is essential, because too much can cause the skin to appear too oily, while too little causes the skin to dry out.  Once sebum is created it travels to the surface of the skin, attracting dirt and dead skin cells along the way.  As sebum reaches the surface of the skin it creates a shield that blocks bacteria and other harmful agents from entering the body.  Here you can see the catch 22 that sebum invokes on the surface of the skin.  It protects the skin, but also brings dirt, dead skin cells, and other unsightly substances within plain sight.  The appearance of filth on the skin will make many people run for their face wash, but washing the skin also strips away the benefits that sebum offers.  This is where a chemical free moisturizer, like Fundamental Face cream becomes important.

After washing the face the skin is essentially naked.  It is left exposed to many of the chemicals and pollutants that are found in the air and it may also be more easily damaged by cold air and wind.  Immediately after washing the face is the ideal time to apply Fundamental Face Cream.  Moisturizing the facial skin should be limited and, in fact, it is best to only do it after washing the face.  Frequently applying facial cream can often times have a similar effect to the over production of sebum.  It may cause the protective layer on the skin to become too thick and this can give the skin a greasy and oily look.  It can also trap dead skin and dirt, and actually increase the likelihood of acne and breakouts.  Just like sebum, it is important to maintain the proper balance of facial moisturizer, even if it is a natural facial moisturizer.

Fundamental Face Cream is a natural moisturizer, and it combines two different - and very beneficial - forms of moisturizers: humectants and emollients.  Humectants pull water from lower layers of the skin to the surface, and this works to keep the top layer of the skin looking great.  On a humid day humectants may also help to moisturize by attracting water from the atmosphere to the skin.  Providing the skin with humectants helps to limit the ability of potentially harmful substances from penetrating the skin.  It can also help to keep the skin cells together.  This may help to reduce the occurrence of flakey skin, and humectants also help to soothe skin irritations caused by dry skin.  Emollients are agents that help to add moisture to the skin.  They can soften the skin, and fighting flaking and itching.  Skin that becomes damaged and dry is often caused by water escaping and evaporating from the skin.  Emollients form a guard that keeps the skin moisturized by reducing the amount of water that is able to escape.

Organic Face Cream

Fundamental Face Cream is the premier way to support the health of the facial skin, and it can be the perfect solution for poor sebum production. Besides being an incredible way to keep the skin moisturized, Fundamental Face Cream also provides the skin with antioxidants and may help to repair skin that has been damaged.  Antioxidants are included in many skincare products and may help to fight premature aging.  Antioxidants help to reduce the effects of free radicals, which can create incredible cellular damage.  Free radicals kill healthy skin cells, and this can lead to wrinkling, uneven skin tone, and other signs of aging.


Fundamental Face Cream supplies a vast array of antioxidants from natural ingredients, like:

• Aloe Vera
• Rice Bran Extract
• Shea Butter
• Vitamin E
• Pomegranate Oil
• Grape seed Oil

Fundamental Face Cream also supplies the skin with Organic Tremella mushroom, which can help to fight aging and promote healing.  It helps with aging by strengthening the skin and making skin more firm, and this may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.  Tremella may also help to increase the speed that the skin heals at, and Fundamental Face Cream also has a number of ingredients that can help with healing.  Glycerin, soy lecithin, rice bran extract, and marshmallow root extract can also help to heal the skin.  They may help to fight inflammation on the skin, and some may also work to regenerate skin cells.

Facial creams provide the skin with important nutrients that support its health, but they also work to provide protection to the skin after you've washed your face.  When trying to maintain healthy skin, it is important to use a moisturizer that doesn't contain chemicals and only uses natural ingredients.  Fundamental Face Cream is a chemical free facial cream and natural moisturizer.  It provides the skin with ingredients that are super beneficial.  Fundamental Face Cream helps to protect and moisturize the skin, while also providing antioxidants and other ingredients that can fight inflammation.  Providing your delicate facial skin with these nutrients can not only help its health, but also its overall appearance.

Green Tea and Acne

How Green Tea Can Help Acne

Green tea is a great natural way to help the cardiovascular system and with weight loss.  It has long been used to support cardiovascular strength, and it may help with both blood pressure and cholesterol.  It also helps to maintain healthy metabolic function, and it may help the body to lose weight.  However, new studies have also shown that applying green tea to the skin can have beneficial effects as well.  The antioxidant epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which gives green tea its cellular health supporting powers, also works to support healthy skin. 

Two studies conducted in Asia (one on animals, one on humans) have shown that applying green tea to the skin can help to maintain healthy sebaceous glands.  The first study found that green tea may help to limit the production of sebum.  Sebum is produced in the sebaceous glands, and it is used to make sure that the hair and skin don't become too dry.  Although the body needs sebum, when too much is produced acne occurs.  The study found that applying green tea to the skin may help to reduce the size of the sebaceous glands. 

Researchers found that EGCG may help to limit the effect of insulin like growth factors on the sebaceous glands.  Insulin growth factor can increase the size of the sebaceous glands and increase the production of sebum.  By limiting the amount of sebum, green tea may help to reduce the occurrence of acne.  The second study found that when green tea is applied to the skin it may help to limit sebum production, but it may also help to fight bacteria.  One of the main causes of acne is bacteria that can be found on the skin.  These bacteria can cause infections and inflammation, and it can increase the unsightly appearance of acne.  EGCG may also help to reduce inflammation on the skin, so green tea addresses three of the main causes of acne. 

If you find yourself struggling with acne, green tea may offer your skin health some help.  Green tea has been used to support weight management and the cardiovascular system, but when applied to the green tea may have a positive effect on the sebaceous glands.  Green tea may help to reduce the production of sebum, reduce the amount of bacteria found on the skin, and help to fight inflammation.

Olive Oil and Acne Scars

Many people conquer acne only to find that they now have to confront another issue: acne scars.  Acne scars are left behind by the pustules caused by acne, and on the face they can leave behind red, brown, and pink marks.  To avoid these scars it is important not to pop pimples, especially if it is clear that the skin is infected, but sometimes scarring may be inevitable.  When scarring occurs one way to help fade them naturally is with olive oil.

One quick and easy way to regularly supply the face with olive oil is through natural facial cleansers, like Fundamental Scrub.  Olive oil will support skin health by keeping it properly moisturized, and the moisturization mixed with its natural antioxidants may help to reduce the signs of aging.  The addition of olive oil in Fundamental Face Scrub may also help to fight skin irritation and inflammation.

Now there are also a couple therapies that can help with the scarring that solely use olive oil.  One of the most useful ways to reduce acne scarring is to take olive oil and massage it into the scars.  Massage the skin for a couple of minutes, and then let the oil sit on the face for five minutes.  During this resting time heat some water up so that it emits steam.  With the oil still on the face hold the face over the bowel for about five minutes or until the water cools down.  After this gently remove the oil.  The scar tissue may be softened by now.  The next step is to use an exfoliating face scrub to remove the softened scar tissue.  Fundamental Face Scrub can offer help with this, because it has apricot kernels.  These kernels will help to remove any loose skin without causing damage to the skin.  These steps may have to be repeated for a whioe before you see a noticeable difference. There is no guarantee of removing the scars and some people may need to seek a dermatologist for dermabrasion.

Don't give up on healthy looking skin if after you get rid of your acne scars appear.  This is absolutely normal, and it can be relatively easy to deal with.  Use Fundamental Face Scrub to supply your face with olive oil, and then use the above olive oil therapy.  Gradually you will notice that your scarring is less and less visible.
