Hair analysis can reveal effects of cosmetics

Using natural skin care products is the easiest way to avoid polluting your own body, according to one celebrity makeup artist. Rose-Marie Swift told Examiner.com about her bad experiences of using unnatural products which she said contributed to her health deteriorating and panic attacks. The website stated: "Taking control of her deteriorating health, she took a series of blood tests and hair analysis revealing abnormally high levels of metal contents many of which came from unhealthy foods and her overexposure to cosmetics." It added that Swift is known as an artist who can make the most of her clients' natural beauty and for her commitment to organic skin care products. Orlando Bloom is a big fan of the makeup artists work, according to the website, which said he has commented on how she makes his supermodel girlfriend Miranda Kerr look "beautiful and glowing" after treatment. Another celebrity makeup artist Lina Hanson told TreeHugger.com how using natural skin care products can be hugely beneficial to people's complexion.

Vitamin E Oil for Skin

I use Vitamin E oil as a massage oil and instead of hand lotion after a bath. I like that it doesn't have a lot of chemicals in it like regular hand lotion does.

RE: Vitamin E Oil for Skin

I do this too, and it's even good for your hair although you have to wash it out well after conditioning. The Vitamin E oil I get is mostly soybean oil with some Vitamin E in it. I add a few drops of Lavender essential oil and it smells great!

RE: Vitamin E Oil for Skin

I have been using olive oil as a bath oil, but maybe I'll try Vitamin E. I don't like anything with chemicals in it. Read more at www.altmeds.com
