The Big Question....What About Sunscreen?


So many clients have been asking me the big question....what do I do for sunscreen.  

You may have noticed that Dr Hauschka skin care  doesn't make any sunscreens. It's not for lack of desire. Dr Hauschka  maintains that to make a sunscreen %100 natural and meet SPF standards they would have to use synthetic ingredients. I  have long been on a hunt for an effective sunscreen that is great for your skin and your health. I wants to find the absolute best protection from the sun. You may be slathering on your shot glass full of SPF 100 lotion, but did you know that some sunscreens can actually do you harm?
The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit agency that analyzes and rates sunscreens each year,  posted "Sunscreens Exposed: 9 Surprising Truths," which includes valuable information such as "too little sun might be harmful, reducing the body's vitamin D levels" and "free radicals and other skin damaging byproducts result from sunscreen use." Check out the site for valuable information about sunscreen and your heath and beauty.
In the interim...wear a big hat and stay out of the mid day sun.

Rosacea and Dr Hauschka's Proven Effectiveness

Typical Rosacea, dilated blood capillaries on the surface of the skin

Here are some simple but effective ways to treat Rosacea, skin that is reddened or sensitive.
In the morning when you cleanse your face...use the Dr Hauschka Lavender Bath in your wash basin.  Compress you face with the soothing Lavender Bath water.   To compress simply use a soft wash towel and soak it in warm water with a cap full of Lavender Bath added to it...place the compress on your skin and gently press against you face ...repeat 3 times.  This exercises the blood capillaries to help them become stronger.  Rosacea and redness often the result of the fluids in the capillaries not moving as they should...they become inflamed and we see them on the surface of the skin as redness or 'broken' capillaries.
Follow with Facial Toner in the day time and Rhythmic Conditioner Sensitive at night.  The rose and borage in this fantastic product normalizes excessive blood flow and restores strength and elasticity to the blood capillaries.
For day time use, Rose Day Cream calms and strengthens.
Ultimatly strengthening the capillaries so they can move the fluids along will greatly improve rosacea and skin prone to redness.
Incorporating Dr Hauschka Treatments into your self care plan for addressing Rosacea or redness is highly recommended.  Dr Hauschka Treatments use a unique form of  lymph stimulation that helps move the fluids in the skin and give the skin the memory of how to move along in a healthy way.
