Anti-Ageing: dare to bare a nude face to the world?

Madonna's nude face in the news today has been as refreshing as her photographic exploits in the early 90's! Whatever she might have undergone to achieve it, the look certainly suits her.

It has also inspired me to share tips on enjoying the best organic facial care skincare -whether you are sporting a ton of makeup or rocking the au naturelle approach.

Anti-ageing Facial Oil from organic pioneers, Green People, is rich in Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and pure essential oils, to improve skin elasticity and deliver beautiful, age-defying results.

Apply to face, neck and décolletage ... This little miracle worker also contains the organic nutrient-rich plant extract Lecithin, which not only generates sensationally silky smooth skin, but also reduces ‘trans-epidermal water loss’. The results are plumping and nourishing. Rosehip Oil is famed for its anti-wrinkle, rejuvenating and repairing properties, especially when combined with Lecithin - it works to naturally protect skin cells and reduce visible ageing.

99.9% certified organic Facial Oil contains nutrient-packed, skin-nourishing plant oils and pure essential oils. Sunflower and Safflower (Thistle Seed) oils are added for their rich content of Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids, and Avocado oil supplies high doses of vitamin A, D and E. Rose Geranium Oil balances sebum production, and has an anti inflammatory function, and gentle floral scent. Rosemary also stimulates blood circulation £16.85 (30ml).

Gentle Tone, £8.95 (50ml) is the perfect partner to support your daily facial routine. Treat your skin to this beautiful organic formulation which can increase collagen production by 100% and reduce wrinkles by 7%.

Used over time as part of your day to day skin care regime this little gem will improve elasticity and offer increased long-term firming and toning on your face.




USER TIP! Create a regular overnight ‘fix’ by applying the Anti-ageing Facial Oil direct, or combine one or two drops of with hydrating, Gentle Tone as a moisturiser to nourish and boost skin condition.

Moles may denote anti-ageing benefits

Beauty spots have long been desired as a feature of fashion but did you know that moles could also mean naturally younger-looking skin?

Researchers from Kings College London have been studying the characteristics of people with many moles and have found a number of interesting links, including youthful looks.

Those with a lot of moles appear to have skin that rejects the signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, blemishes and fine lines, for longer.

This is down to tiny strands of DNA in the body's cells which have an ending on known as telomeres - similar to the aglet on the end of a shoelace. Every time the cell divides, the telomere gets shorter until it breaks down to such an extent that the cell is destroyed. This is the normal process of ageing.

In people with plentiful moles, the telomeres tend to be longer, which means the cells themselves last longer. Their skin therefore maintains a youthful look beyond that of others who have naturally shorter telomeres.

Look after your telomeres!

Green People uses an ingredient known as Baicalin which has been shown to reduce the damage that telomeres suffer each time the cell divides.

This is a natural ingredient, derived from the Skullcap herb, and we use it to give anti-ageing benefits in the Organic Homme range.

Baicalin can be found in the No. 4 organic SPF moisturiser and No. 7 organic facial serum.
