Organic Facials

Organic products have grown in popularity as the buying public started asserting it’s demand for chemical free ingredients.  From vegetables, meats and dairy products to shampoos, soaps and toothpaste, the selection of new items we can find made from organic ingredients is growing.  

The beauty industry has also moved to an organic pasture.  Using natural products without chemical enhancements is healthier for your skin, hair and nails, as well as the rest of your body.  Chemicals in lotions, creams and cosmetics can be absorbed through the skin, causing anything from allergic reactions to serious illnesses.  

Choosing organic facials is a great way to boost your skin, by adding nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are extracted from sources like plants and herbs.  They are able to utilize naturally occurring amino acids along with other essential skin care components to find a match for whatever skin type you have.  

Common organic facials include milk masks, which use lactic acid from milk sources to rehydrate dry skin.  Oatmeal is another great moisturizing mask, but there’s a variety of facials available for everything from acne to wrinkle care.  Most organic products include essential oils to deep cleanse without clogging pores.  Most organic beauty products use ingredients that encourage and stimulate the body’s natural healing and skin renewal process to achieve results.  

The lack of skin-abusing contaminants often means that organic masks do not have the same shelf life as commercially processed products.  It’s important to read the labels to determine expiration dates or recommendations about how long the product will keep once opened.  Remember, organic products are  made without the use of chemical preservatives, so the guidelines are different.  

Having said that, some organic products that are derived from saturated fats, such as coconut oil, have a naturally longer shelf life.  

Whether you are going to a salon or spa, or having a quick facial at home, organic products are a great choice.  Better for your skin than commercial products, you can cleanse, nourish and hydrate your skin, without fear of chemicals and damage to skin cells.

ways to get rid of bur-docks?

my horse’s pasture is full of bur-docks and it is limiting the amount of grass that grows. i was wondering if there is a way to get rip of them and not use chemicals, because we rent out our pastures to an organic dairy farmer and we can’t use chemicals. the bur-docks get to be really bad in the middle of the summer when every time my horse goes outside she comes back completely covered in them and they are such a pain to get out. i have thought about getting a miniature horse, but because of the bur-docks i don’t want to have to deal with the bushy mane and tail filled with bur-docks. please help.

It is best to do after a rain so you don’t have to worry about catching the pasture on fire. If the plant is still green and growing the trick is not to burn down the plant, but instead wilt it. Pinch the leaves to see if the thumbprint stays and then you know you properly wilted it. The plant will destroy it’s root system trying to repair the leaves. If you burn it down then it will just regrow..

If the plant is dead and you are dealing with just the dried burdocks then burn them. Just try to catch them early while they are still green and growing. This is the best method I have found for dealing with a lot of hard to kill weeds without using chemicals. Otherwise you have to try and dig them out and a lot of weeds it is impossible to get all of the tap root so they just come back after you’ve spent a lot of time and energy trying to get rid of them.

A couple cautions:

1. Be careful you are doing this safely so you do not start a grass fire. If your area is dry then this is a bad idea. I live in a very moist area so fire concern is pretty low.

2. Do not ever use this on poision ivy/oak or other toxic plants. The smoke can be very harmful.

3. Be careful around trees with needles and cones because those will catch and burn like crazy.
