Would you take a dip in the fountain of youth if you could find it? Well, La Roche Posay Products may not contain the fountain of youth, but their products contain thermal spring water that’s nourishing, healing and revitalizing to your skin.

La Roche Posay Products are made using selenium-rich thermal spring water that comes from a village called La Roche Posay which is located in central France. It’s composed of rainwater that has gracefully careened over many miles of limestone, into natural reserves containing selenium and then into 20,000 year old waters. It’s this water, selenium rich, high purity, and almost neutral pH, which is the base formula for all of La Roche Posay Products. This water base is not exposed to any pollutants, nor is it treated with anything, and it’s kept in its purest form until it is safely packaged.

La Roche Posay Products address a full scope of skin care needs. Oily skin, acne, aging or sensitive skin, and dry skin, La Roche Posay Products can help with all of them. They are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. They’re infused with a minimal amount of ingredients that include highly concentrated dermatological ingredients. La Roche Posay Products also contain only fragrances and ingredients that do not have the potential to cause an irritable reaction in those that use it. La Roche Posay has a variety of skin care line to choose from.

The Anthelios line is a broad-spectrum protection line of products that protects tender skin from those damaging ultra-violet rays. And, interestingly it is the first sunblock approved by the FDA in 18 years. The Effaclar line of products contains a patented micro-exfoliating agent that works wonders on oily and acne-prone skin.

The active C line of La Roche Posay Products incorporates a significantly high concentration of pure vitamin C that helps correct those early signs of aging. These products smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. If sensitive skin is your problem, La Roche Posay has a line of products for you as well. The Toleriane line is a mix of fragrance-free products that moisturize and comfort intolerant skin.

La Roche Posay’s Rosaliac line of products is designed to address the issue of delicate skin. Skin that very easily reacts to irritants and cause it to become red can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. These products will neutralize and moisten your skin and significantly reduce redness.

La Roche Posay products also address the issue of dry and severely dry skin with three separate lines. Hydraphase is a twenty-four hour moisturizing line for dehydrated skin. Nutritic transforms your dry skin, and the Lipikar line restores natural lipids which moisturizes dry, parched skin.

La Roche Poray also has a professional line of products called Biomedic, a line of aesthetic corrective in-office procedures (chemical peels) which also includes post-procedure home care products. This line is distributed exclusively by physicians. La Roche Posay definitely has something for everyone, and can tackle the most demanding of skin conditions.

Whether you’re dealing with aging issues, acne issues, dryness issues or any other type of skin issue, La Roche Posay Products can help you address those issues and help you get that radiant, younger-looking, healthy skin you’re hoping for.

Oatmeal in skin care products has been around as long as I can remember and I will say that I am now over 50 years old. As a teenager I recall using facial masks and bath and body products that contained oatmeal.

I loved oatmeal skin care products then, and to this day I still use oatmeal in my skin care routine. The only difference now is that I make my own oatmeal scrubs and masks and will soon try my hand at making some oatmeal bar soaps.

Oatmeal has wonderful properties that can nourish and heal and good for all skin types. It is hypoallergenic and contains amino acids which will keep the skin will hydrated. As we all know amino acids have a positive effect upon cells. They can help improve skin that has been scarred and I have read that they are more powerful than alpha-hydroxyls in terms of smoothing the skin and improving tone and color. Another plus is amino acid is not photosensitive and does not cause irritation that alpha and beta hydroxyls have.

Additionally you may have seen the term colloidal oatmeal listed in your oatmeal bath and skin care products, this is simply oats that are ground into an extremely fine powder. The oatmeal is ground so fine that it blends easily with water, such as in a bath, or in lotions and creams.

Also, did you know that oats are recognized by the Food and Drug Administration for its natural skin protection? Furthermore, oats are so versatile; you can mix and match your ingredients depending on your skin type and skin care need.

So without further ado, get out the oatmeal and prepare for a wonderful facial mask. If a soaking bath is in order, get out the grinder and grind up some oats and add a little to your bath water. I suggest that you use old fashioned rolled oats.

Basic Oatmeal Facial mask with exfoliating properties
3/4 cup dry Oatmeal
1/3 cup warm water
Mix the ingredients together until a paste is formed. Spread evenly over face and neck avoiding the eye area. Sit back and relax, maybe through a couple of sliced cucumbers on the eyes for the ultimate spa experience. When the mask starts to feel a little itchy, because the oats are drying, rinse with warm water then cool water. Follow with toner and moisturizer.

Oatmeal Dry Skin Facial Mask
1 Egg (naturally if allergic to eggs do not use)
1/2 cup Oatmeal
2 teaspoons extra virgin Olive oil or almond oil (do not use almond oil if allergic to nuts)
Mix all the ingredients to form a paste. Adjust oatmeal or oil so that you have a thick paste that will not run. Apply to face and neck avoiding the eye area. Leave on 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water then cool water. Follow with a homemade toner and moisturizer.

Oatmeal Oily Skin Mask
1 Egg white (has astringent properties)
1 tablespoon Oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice (has astringent properties and skin whitening properties)
Beat the egg and slowly add the oatmeal then lemon juice. Adjust if needed so that you have a good paste that will not run. Apply over face and neck avoiding the eye area. When the oatmeal starts to dry and slight itching begins rinse with warm water then cool water. Follow with a toner and moisturizer. Note: lemon has photosensitivity properties so best used in the evening.

These are just a few of the facial masks you can make with oatmeal. There are a variety of other ingredients you can use such as honey, yogurt, milk, baking soda, etc. However, as with all skin care products a patch test is always recommended.

Ringworm infections are basically fungal infections that cause itchy scalp initially, but on prolonged ignorance it can lead to hair loss that doesn’t grow back. It also causes your scalp to be crusty and scaly that can be normally treated with anti fungal agents. Ill maintained hair can lead to the growth of head lice and they are very common in children as they spread easily in schools where a large concentration of children can pass it onto each other unnoticed. Head lice can also lead to an itching scalp that won’t become normal unless you undergo the right treatment. Eczema or Seborrhoeic dermatitis can be due to various factors like yeasts, excessive sweating and accumulation of dirt in the hair. This is responsible for hair conditions like scalp acne and dandruff.

Basically all these hair problems are a result of an imbalance in the scalp and treatment with good hair products can ensure that your hair gets purified and regains balance to give you back a healthy scalp and strong but soft hair. However chemical agents that are commonly used for scalp treatment can also be the causative agents. Hence, the best in scalp treatment today are the natural hair purifying shampoos and treatments as they provide long lasting relief to your hair problems.
