Really liked your blog! I use My Jeunesse products. They are all natural/organic and I have had much success with them. I really love their Hydrating Masque and Nourishing Exfoliant.

What makeup brands do you recommend?

Almonds are one of the few (if not the only) nuts that are an alkaline-forming food, so they are actually good for you overall. They are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber. Studies have shown that they have anti-inflammatory and immunity boosting properties. They are basically one of those “superfoods”. They are rich in folic acid, Vitamin E and magnesium and contain iron, zinc, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. Warning — as all nuts they are high in calories, so don’t overdo it! A little goes a long way!

Almond oil has been used in many skin care preparations for for a long time, especially in Ayurveda.

The Rose flower appeared on the Earth long before human-being, around 10 – 15 million years ago like other plant materials. The fossils were found around the Northern Hemisphere. Botanists estimate around 200 species of Roses. Roses grew in the temperature with little humidity in the topical region of the Earth like Northern India, Bulgaria, Turkey, Morocco and France.

The voyages of explorers and the hard work of the botanists have further helped in the best well grown species of rose Called “Rosa Damascena”. People of Northern India (Uttar Pradesh) are doing proper harvesting of Roses like Rosa Damascena and Rosa Centrifolia for further supply to producers of Kannauj City and Aligarh cities.

Rose Oil, also called (Rose Otto, Attar of roses), Rose Absolute is the precious essential oil extracted from the flower petals using Hydro Distillation while Rose Absolute is obtained through Solvent Extraction ( Using solvents like Hexane or Ethanol ) or SCO2 (Supercritical Carbon Dioxide) extraction. The Absolute of Rose is not recommended for aromatherapy. They can only used in Natural Perfumery.

Hi: Don’t know if anyone has tried the relatively new Physician’s Formula line of organic make-up. I recently bought the eye liner pencil and it is really nice. They have been expanding the product selection over the last year and they have some nice offerings. Can be found at most drug stores.
