Naturally Unearthly? 5 Alternatives for Skin Care

by Samira Al Romaith

Change is the essential premise to both history and the skin's natural aging cycle. One of the anchor points in human existence however, is the concern for premature skin aging and overall health condition. It isn't absurd then, that in an age affected to capricious technological makeovers, the most atypical and novel skin care solutions stem from the organic traditions.

Among robust traditions, the trendy Uguisu no Fun - Japanese for 'powdered bird droppings' - is one such natural skin care treatment. Lead and zinc-laced makeup was a constant threat for the skin of 18th-Century Kabukis actors and Geishas, who came up with this very bizarre approach and kept it secret If, as make up removers, Nightingale droppings were considered outstanding, they eventually garnered extra value as highly efficient agents for restoring and fostering a glowing skin.

Nightingale dung is not the only wacky solution for skin care, but the Bohemian take may be a little bit more appetizing: the Beer Spa treatment has been so successful that currently you can find it spilled all across the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. The reasons for this hype are claimed by spa owners to be thorough skin cleansing and nourishing properties, supposedly provided beer's reputed high content of essential B-complex vitamins and yeast hops.

The people of Tyrol, in the European Alps, have developed a more humble solution this matter. Another spa-related treatment, Hay Sweat Bathing has recently gained recognition among affluent tourists looking to relieve their stress. Ironically, this tradition sprung amidst local farmers, when it was established that the hay they carried on their backs in some way correlated to their general fitness and longevity.

The above treatments are only some of the solutions offered by conventional wisdom. Worn to moisturize the skin, vanish wrinkles and reduce the appearance of aging; placenta-based cosmetics are one of the most disconcerting and culturally nuanced skin care treatments yet. Nevertheless, the cosmetic industry shows real engrossment for this organ; with massive torrents of vegetal, bovine and human placenta routinely derived for their use on the account of its bio-stimulating properties.

Among bizarre healthy skin solutions, snail wrinkle-smoothing serums are the most down-to-earth.

Apart from boasting a long-standing relationship with the culinary arts, escargot secretions have been recently publicized as a wonderful supplement for the practice of responsible skincare. Dermatological studies have sensibly shown how snail slime - specifically in its facial serum and care-cream form - can help to prevent premature skin aging.

Originally boasted by Hippocrates, the many benefits of snail slime natural skin care creams include the treatment of keloid scars, sunburns, age spots, facial blemishes and sagging skin; which is exceedingly more that what was originally accounted for anti-aging serums.

In the age of free radicals and pollution, when dermatological concern is not only limited to women's skin care and anti aging skin treatments, the finest solutions are to be found perhaps in the least conceivable places. Being snail-derived, Bioskinrejuvenation extract may well properly be a supreme natural care product to aid in skin rejuvenation and the prevention of premature aging.
