Ever since Madonna admitted to having regular oxygen facials, the treatment has become very popular. No matter what you think of the Material Girl, you have to admit she’s aging pretty well. Unfuntunately the going rate is around $500 a treatment, so most of us can only dream about an oxygen facial. Never fear, there are less expensive alternatives out there.

Stay Young With These Antiaging Secrets
Slowly the skin care industry is wrapping its mind around these facts, but while they’re playing catch up, why not try a natural anti-aging skin care line?
I’ve been hearing a lot about coconut oil and how good it is for you. The buzz is that it makes a great cooking oil and is really moisturizing. In truth, coconut oil is one of the few saturated fats that comes from a plant. Most saturated fats come from an animal source. Coconut oil also contains lauric acid which has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
There’s a school of thought that says you should clean your face and leave it bare of treatments while you sleep. I’m sure this works for some people at some stage in life, but not for those of us concerned with antiaging. Bedtime is prime time to get things done on your skin. A good skin serum, with regular use, can aid the natural processes that occur while you sleep. With serums, you’ll see results faster.
Why don't young people have wrinkles? Mostly because they have more facial fat, no sun damage, and gravity hasn't taken its toll. As we age, laugh lines appear around the mouth and eyes. Sometimes sleep lines, the temporary marks that appear after sleeping on a pillow, become permanent. Areas that are exposed to the sun may develop brown patches known as age spots or liver spots. Over time, the skin gradually loses its layer of subcutaneous fat, and skin can take on a gaunt appearance. This is why just cleansing your skin isn't enough.
I'd like to thank all the little people . . . Seriously, I usually don't even get honorable mention in prize contests, but I think my luck is changing. Last month I entered The Flicker Group Photo Contest sponsored by From Nature With Love. I love their blog because they showcase some great natural products and recipes. The pictures were all so stunning I didn't think I stood much of a chance.
Long story short, I was among three winners of a lovely gift package, and believe me I'll be putting the products to good use. My package contained poppy seed oil, rice powder, goat's milk powder, yellow kaolin clay, organic nilotica shea butter, and pink rose petals. I'll be posting recipes in the coming days for using these great products. I plan on pre-pooing with the poppy seed oil today. Yea!
