How The Modern Skincare Formulations Of Today Can Affect Skin Repair [Nude Cosmetics]

By Jeffrey Tomson


The human body is a true marvel of evolution. The healthy supple skin that contains, protects and defines it, is never so beautiful as when it is entirely nude. Cosmetics, chemicals, the sun's radiation, our harsh work environments, not to mention the natural depredations of time all work to diminish the vitality of the skin. As we get older our skin begins to lose its youthful resilience and the lives we lived, and the things we've done remain like ghostly palimpsests.

While it is impossible to actually turn back time, contemporary skincare products have made it possible to offset some of their consequences and help restore the skin's natural vitality and resilience. Here are just a few of the commonly used skincare terms associated with modern skin repair products.

## Probiotic

When we refer to probiotics we are referring to a wide array of microscopic organisms which live symbiotically throughout the body and bestow advantageous (and in some cases essential) effects.

## Bio-available

When a compound is referenced in terms of its bio-availability what is being identified is the percent of the active element that is absorbed by the body and available to enter into the system for which it is intended.

## Bio-compatible

A material that's said to be bio-compatible is capable of interacting with the cells of the body in a neutral, natural manner without provoking any toxic or allergic reactions. The more bio-compatible a material is said to be the fewer potential deleterious reactions to it.

## Ethical

This of course doesn't so much reference a product's impact on the body so much as its impact on society and the environment. Whenever possible you should be looking for skincare products that have not been tested on animals, whose ingredient have been responsibly obtained, and whose packaging is recyclable.

When you are considering various eye creams, hand creams or face moisturisers read the literature carefully whether it is a known brand like the UK's Nude Cosmetics or a smaller, lesser known brand. Know what it is you are putting on your skin and understand the claims that are being made.
