We are eager to help you embrace the aging process, take price in your wisdom and accomplishments and stave off signs of aging. Our unique botanical and herbal elixirs work from the outside in to stimulate rejuvenation; visible in the reawakened luster, luminosity and suppleness of your skin. Try our Happy Aging Facial a la carte, at your leisure. You will need the following ingredients:

* Happy Aging Facial Cleanser
* Happy Aging Tonic
* Happy Aging Moisture Cream
* Happy Aging Renuvenating Mask
* Aging Complex Ampoules
* Cotton Pads
* 2 Cucumber Slices
* Towel
* Herbs suitable for you skin type

Moisten your face, neck and décolleté area with lukewarm water. Divide 1/2a teaspoon of Cleanser on two cotton pads and cleanse the face using a cicular motion from the inside out, except around the eyes. Work from the outside in around the eye area, starting on the bhottom lid and easing upwards to the top.

Place your face approximately half a foot away and over a glass bowl filled with steaming water. Add a tablespoon of fragrant herbs such as chamomile, lavender or sage or up to 5 drops of selected pure essential oils suitable for your skin type. Capture the steam by draping a towel over your head and steam face for about 5 minutes. Dry your face but leave skin lightly damp. Avoid facial steams if you have extremely delicate skin, easily irritated skin (couperose skin)or extremely dry skin.

Apply one Ampule of Happy Aging Complex around the eye area with your ring finger in gentle pats and smooth on the Happy Aging Mask over your face and décolleté. Then place two cucumber slices over the eyes. Lie down for 20 minutes. To increase penetration and circulation soak a towel in warm water and place over the mask. Cover in addition with a dry towel.

After your catnap, moisten two cotton pads and gently remove the mask from your face and décolleté. Pad on tonic and wait for 2 minutes. Then dab on Happy Aging Moisture Cream, allow one minute to sink into skin, and you're ready for a night in town.

I really appreciate you for giving us such wonderful eco friendly skin care tips. Going green in beauty care has never been easier, Life is all about how you live it! It's about treating yourself well, both physically and mentally. Always remember that when inner beauty and self-confidence meet fun and flirty, everyone has a great time. I have very sensitive skin so I cannot tolerate any perfumes or chemicals. So I prefer using chemical free soaps or cleansers.

As per my aunt suggestion I tried Dancing Dingo products, and now I can't stop using them. Their products are incredible. They are "certified organic" so I know for sure what I'm getting. They have Fabulous products for the Organically minded. Dancing Dingo makes “going green” so incredibly easy when shopping for skincare products. And while browsing to order thier soap I found a great coupon for some here, just a little more than halfway down the page: Discount Coupons on Sustainable Products - The SustainLane GreenSaver. How do u all find using organic soap vs normal soap for your body care?

Recently I found a website that rated toxic levels in many brands of skincare and make-up including organic, if interested i will try to find the link, I have used brown rice flour as an exfoliator and it did the job.

Organic and natural soap is so much better for my skin than ordinary. Before I started working at Green People, I had resigned myself to the fact that my skin would always be unbearably itchy and dry after a shower and that my hands would crack after using liquid soap.

I now know that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is the likely culprit and simply avoiding it makes such a difference to everyday life.

Green Tea is great for skin, though before you rush out to purchase or use your green tea in the cupboard, make sure it has the following:

1. Only Green Tea - ie green tea that is green in colour, not brown.
2. Ideally use Japanese green tea that is grown either with no or minimal chemicals when produced.
3. Ideally use a Sencha or a Gyokuro teas.
4. Place used tea leaves into a muslin cloth, scrunch it up and secure so you have like a mini pouch.
5. Use the moist leaves as a face pack which is great for cooling the face down during the summer.
6. You can also place the green tea leaves not used within a muslin cloth that is secured in a bath and soak. The vit c is excellent for the skin.

Relax and enjoy!

I am sure that if everyone just put on makeup when it is a special occasion rather than using it every single day it would help enormously, cannot see why when you are at home you would need makeup...

keeping your skin clean has got to be the best for it, and putting makeup all over your face must be the worst !!

just my opinion, I like girls to look natural...
