Water Based Moisturizers are a No-No

When purchasing moisturizer cream, many women simply do not stop and look at the ingredients. Often women are attracted to a pretty box or a pretty jar with a fancy sounding name without realizing that many of the moisturizers out there contain up to 40% water. Other women make the mistake of going with a water based moisturizer, thinking that water is the most natural moisturizer in the world and that it should do wonders for their skin. Strangely enough, that is not the case. Different all natural ingredients, like Aloe Vera, are better suited for a moisturizer for the face, especially for those looking for anti aging or anti wrinkle benefits. It may not seem like it but water based moisturizers are a recipe for disaster when it comes to dry skin. They dry out your skin even more as opposed to adding much needed moisture.

Consider the Benefits of Natural Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera based creams are different and for those who have only used water based products or for those looking for a change in their present moisturizing routine, this is the best and only alternative. A few of the skin care moisturizer cream products even contain essential fatty acids and other ingredients that actually imitate the natural actions and compositions of your skin. These special ingredients work wonders against drying and breakouts, and makes it easier for the ingredients to be absorbed into the skin. Aloe Vera itself is 100 percent natural, coming straight from the plant of the same name and is known for its healing benefits to damaged skin.

How Often is Too Often?

Depending on your skin and its makeup, you never know how much to moisturize until you figure out what is best for you. If you have normal skin, moisturizing once a day should be sufficient, but if you have dry skin or skin with a condition you may want to consider moisturizing twice daily — once during the morning hours and once before bed.

Be sure to follow the directions that are specified on the back of moisturizer box or jar for best results and remember that not all moisturizers are created equal. Some of them have specific instructions and are designed to treat different skin conditions so be sure to read the label carefully. Some moisturizers have natural oils, vitamins, lipids, and other ingredients that are designed to smooth and beautify your skin. Be warned that chemicals have been added to other moisturizer creams and these should be strictly avoided.

How do you know which is the best skin care moisturizer cream for you? In all reality, there is no “one size fits all.” Everyone has a different type of skin and unfortunately there is a bit of trial and error that you must go through. You have to find out the hard way sometimes but often you can take shortcuts by getting recommendations from other women with skin similar to yours. Remember though that just because a particular product works for someone else does not necessarily mean that it will work for you. One thing you can be sure of though is that it is pretty hard to go wrong with an aloe vera based moisturizer. Aloe Vera can heal damaged skin, moisturize, and even provide some anti aging benefits as well. Plus it doesn’t dry out the skin like water based moisturizers do…and it should go without saying that dry skin is much more prone to wrinkles than hydrated, moisturized skin.

The benefits of Aloe Vera are endless and no matter what type of skin you have, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of this all natural ingredient that was discovered more than 3,500 years ago and that is still being used today. An Aloe Vera based moisturizer can help give you healthier, more beautiful skin no matter what kind of skin you have and no matter how much sun damage you have.

Be sure to read the label before buying any moisturizer cream and always, always, always demand an Aloe Vera based moisturizer.

Do you hate fine lines?

Do you hate wrinkles?

Do you hate sun spots?

Do you have old acne scars to get rid of?

Do you want to feel beautiful again?

An Aloe Vera based moisturizer cream just may be the way to go and due to its healing properties, Aloe Vera should be something you look for in any skin care moisturizer cream.

Pro-Life or Catholic patients often get recommendations which conflict with their beliefs. Hope has arrived.

Maternal Disorders Abortion for maternal disorders was obsolete by the early 1950’s. A study by Cosgrove and Carter[1] in 1944 reported on 67,000 deliveries from 1931 to 1943 at the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital in Jersey City. Only 4 of 67,000 were thought to require abortion for maternal indication. Cosgrove delivered a subsequent 70,000 babies with no ‘therapeutic’ or maternally indicated abortions.

In 1953 Hefferman and Lynch[2] conducted a postal survey of maternal deaths at hospitals, which did or did not permit abortion for maternal indication. The death rates were not biased by referral patterns: the same diagnoses occurred in the same proportions in both groups. At hospitals that did not permit abortions, there were 1,469 deaths and 1,680,989 deliveries, for a maternal death rate of 0.87 per 1000. At hospitals that did permit abortions, there were 1,558 maternal deaths and 1,574,717 deliveries, yielding a maternal death rate of 0.98 per 1000. Maternal death was lower (0.87/1000) at institutions that did not allow abortions, than at those (0.98/1000) that did. These studies make a stronger case since they date from the 1950’s. Even the most difficult situations can now be managed without abortion.

Fetal Disorders and Preconception Care Abortion for fetal indication often causes spiritual, psychological and/or physical harm to the mother, and death to the baby[3]. Having a baby die is a profound and unforgettable tragedy for a mother. To add abortion may make a bad situation worse. Some of my patients have had babies with lethal birth defects. Delivery at term, with supportive family in attendance, and holding and loving the baby until it dies naturally in its mother arms, can be an incredibly positive and healing experience[4]. An unforgettably tragic experience is then forever linked with an unforgettably loving and healing event.

New methods allow the prevention of birth defects and miscarriage before conception. These methods are consistent with pro-life fertility treatments and natural family planning. Natural family planning charts may indicate the likelihood for miscarriage before it happens. Improving nutrition and removing toxins before and during pregnancy may have long lasting benefits for children.

Female Disorders without the Pill Many female disorders, such as painful periods, irregular cycles, excessive bleeding, ovarian cysts, acne, endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, etc. are treated with birth control pills. These can now be treated without the pill, using methods based on natural family planning[5]. Many women have anger, depression, irritability, headaches, breast soreness and many other problems in the week before their menstrual periods (PMS). Understanding the female cycle through natural family planning, and correcting the problems which are revealed, is a rewarding approach that respects life and improves marriage. The natural family planning approach is so novel, that it even leads to a new approach to menopausal care.

Pro-Life Fertility Care Many Catholics do not realize that assisted reproduction techniques are considered immoral in the Catholic Church. One patient was shocked to find, after the birth of her twins, that she had 24 more human embryos stored in a freezer. She said, “I can’t have 24 more children!” Another patient said that as a pre-requisite to in-vitro fertilization, she had to sign an agreement promising to undergo fetal reduction (abortion) if too many embryos implanted (she complied). These examples illustrate a few of the many reasons why in-vitro fertilization and most assisted reproduction technologies should be avoided by faithful pro-life or Catholic couples.

New methods make ethical fertility treatments available for Catholic or pro-life men and women[6]. One couple had been infertile for 19 years, but succeeded with faith, prayer, and surgery.
