Men's interest in taking care of their skin is steadily increasing. They are also aware of the importance of using safe natural ingredient products. It is not new for men to want to look well groomed. Now they are seeking healthy products to feed their skin in order to maintain a fresh attractive appeal.
Men want a no-fuss, straight forward approach to skin care. They don't need the pretty bottles or sweet aroma of fragrant lotions and cleansers-men want the basics. Garden of Eve's organic skin care line for Adam is tailored specifically to a man's needs without added synthetic ingredients that may be found in many skin care products. The Garden of Eve line for Adam uses the purity of nature to enhance the skin's surface and makes a healthier skin care routine simple.
Men's skin care needs are specific partly as a result of shaving, which not only irritates the skin, it can leave pores open to invite clogging or blackheads. Therefore methods of cleansing are especially important to a man's skin care regime. The harsh effect of shaving can also leave the skin with a dull appearance. This can be remedied with an exfoliant clay or mud mask that will bring a smooth toned healthy appearance to the skin.
Whether skin tends to be oily or dry and sensitive it requires care that will encourage it toward balance. Working with natural ingredient products that are formulated to assist the skin to find its proper balance will bring the desired results of smooth, fresh attractive looking skin.
Simple Steps to healthy looking attractive skin:
Step 1: Cleansing
Cleansing for men needs to be gentle, even soothing, yet cleanse deep. This can be accomplished with a clay or cream cleanser that caters to Men's skin care needs - irritation, large pores, oily or dry-sensitive skin. Synthetic chemicals are harsh on the skin. They can strip and irritate skin or cause clogged pores. Scrubs and Mud Masks provide deeper cleansing designed to exfoliate and tone the skin’s surface and pores. They can also help prevent ingrown hairs and blackheads from forming.
Step 2:Shave
Shaving Cream - Shaving can irritate the skin, cause bumps and enlarged pores which can lead to clogged pores or black heads. It is best to use shaving creams that are made without toxic foaming agents and other harsh synthetic chemicals that can cause irritation.
After Shave -Toner - After shaving apply an After Shave Toner that will soothe irritations from shaving. This is a final aspect of cleansing as well as a primary aspect of hydrating and toning the pores. It should restore balance and replenish the skin for a handsome smooth appearance. Note: avoid alcohol- based after shave products, they can irritate the skin.
Step 3: Moisturize
Moisturizers for Men - A quality moisturizer cream should be light on the skin yet rich with replenishing skin care ingredients that also hydrate and protect the skin. Properly selected botanical extracts and essential oils will provide excellent healthy skin care benefits. These ingredients do not have overpowering scents that linger. They are gentle to the skin and subtle to the nose.
Eye Cream - The area around the eyes tends to show signs of aging, appearing dry, devitalized and wrinkled sooner than the rest of the face. Therefore caring for the area around the eyes can make the most significant improvement in appearance, keeping you looking fresh, healthy and attractive. The eye area has the most sensitive skin. It is essential to use a quality eye cream that is free of harmful synthetic ingredients.
Garden of Eve's skin care products for men are quick and easy to use. Because we formulate with nature's balancing plants we don't need many different products for all the different skin types i.e. oily, dry, normal sensitive or combination.
The beauty of working with plants is that when chosen properly specific plants have an extensive range of benefits. It is as likely for one plant to assist dry skin as it is to assist oily skin to find its proper balance while at the same time be beneficial for normal skin. Additionally, a plant that is known for its sebum balancing properties may also specialize in toning, softening or improving the circulation of the skin. As unusual as this may seem, this is just one of the many advantages of working with plant ingredients.

All Garden of Eve Facial Toners and Men’s After Shave Toner
Slash Price Sale – 25% Discount…
Coupon Code: Toner25
And this story about Hydrosols is why
Garden of Eve Facial Toners are comprised of unique blends of pure steam distilled hydrosols. We do not add any drying ingredients like alcohol or harsh astringents like vinegar that are found in other brands. Emulsifiers, penetration enhancers and harsh preservatives are also not found in our facial toners…
Garden of Eve Facial Toners are made of ONLY pure steam distilled hydrosols of beneficial flowers and herbs.
The Story of Hydrosols; What are Hydrosols and How are Hydrosols made?
Flowers and herbs that are beneficial for health care and skin care are grown throughout the summer months ‘till they mature to their perfect state of highest concentration of beneficial properties. Immediately upon harvesting the plants are put into a steam distiller with water. The key to high quality hydrosols is distilling the fresh cut plants immediatly after harvesting so that beneficials properties do not evaporate as plants may dry. When the distiller heats up and the water turns to steam, the beneficial properties of the plants infuse the steam which then condenses again into water that is potently infused with the beautiful plant properties.
This process is season specific. Hydrosols are purchased directly from the grower/distiller only one time of the year- when they are distilled just after harvest.
Although the hydrosols are good on the shelf for two years without concern of depleting or spoiling, at Garden of Eve we like to start with new stock each year.
To clear our shelves and make room for the next new harvest we thought that this would be a good time to make a special offer of these precious plant potions.
- The Facial Toners are excellent for balancing the oils of the skin–whether dry skin or oily skin is your concern.
- They are especially wonderful for refreshing and cooling the skin during summer heat and humidity.
This is a great time to stock up while this unprecedented 25% off Special is running.
Garden of Eve has 4 Facial Toner blends tailored for each skin type:
Wise Woman - for elegantly aging skin
Clearly Lovely - for acne and combination skin
Calm - for Rosacea and Acne Rosacea
Expectantly Lovely - for safe use during pregnancy
plus

What Determines Optimum Value in Skin Care?
Why Choose Organic? Is Organic Fairly Priced?
Today’s skin care market is flooded with an overwhelming variety of brands, each one promoting how they have the products of choice. However, consumers have different criteria for choosing their products. Consumers’ criteria vary from bargain shopping to value shopping with value bargains being a winner.
When seeking value in skin care the question arises are organic plant based products better? Are they worth the cost? Which brings us to why do organic products cost more than the synthetic chemically produced products?
First, let’s consider the creation of a natural ingredient for skin care products from cultivation to use -
Skin care products that are made with natural i.e. plant ingredients are developed with ingredients that have been cultivated, nurtured and protected until they are ripe. Plants are harvested once they reach their optimum potential for nurturing and benefiting the skin. Once harvested the plants are prepared for use. Herbs and flowers are prepared into the forms that can be incorporated into the variety of skin care potions - creams, facial toners, facial cleansers and exfoliates. These processes are distilling essential oils and hydrosols, processing extracts, and cold processing carrier oils. For a product to be considered truly natural this requires that mechanical processing is minimal so that the plant ingredient maintains its full range of beneficial properties and is therefore optimally effective in its skin care. Although labor intensive this does create products of superior value.
Some companies serve as the grower, processor, formulator and producer of the finished product. Some companies purchase their natural ingredients from certified growers, then they create their finished products with their unique formulations.
As you can see, the natural, organic process from ground up to jar and bottle incorporates individual human care throughout each phase of development.
Natural ingredients that are organically grown are the most valuable (preferred) for use, as they are free of potentially harmful pesticides. This type of agriculture does require a different type of care that is more costly to produce but far less costly to health. Organic vs. commercial agriculture is a topic of constant news posted by the Organic Consumers Association newsletter for easy access and updates.
There are many brands of products on the market that are laden with synthetic chemicals. They have been shown to have a great potential for health hazards according to the many scientific studies that the campaign for safe cosmetics database reveals.
So, when discerning the value of natural organic skin care products the superior value is clearly there. The human care involved in the natural agricultural process as opposed to use of synthetic chemicals created in a laboratory for comparatively pennies on the dollar does account for differences in both price and value. The price of organic skin care products reflects the cost of the labor of cultivation. Sustainable agricultural methods hold greater value. Weather conditions can challenge crops and therefore market supply and thus costs. Organic certification is also costly. Higher quality ingredients will also cost more.

An Ancient Valentine's Tale for Luring the Heart
Valentine's Special Aromatic Tale of the Heart
Over the past years I have enjoyed working with skin care clients. I take great pride in offering personalized care and attention to my customers. I feel that the people who are attracted to Garden of Eve skin care products are special people who care about their health, the health of our planet and the resulting beauty that shines from within. To me you are all Valentines.
In keeping with the theme of this month – Valentine’s Day and what is dear to the Heart my thoughts first come to the Joy to the Heart Hand & Body cream. Here is an ancient tale that explains what this blend represents.
An Aromatic Tale of Luring the Heart
Aromatherapy and the use of the essential oils of plants has been an integral aspect of life throughout the ancient civilizations of China, India, Greece, Rome and Egypt. Whether used for their aromatic influence on emotions and mood, or used topically for their physical influence essential oils have been found to be a potent and effective form of herbalism.
A favorite story I came upon in my study of aromatherapy, was that of Cleopatra and how she used the essential oils in her conquest of Mark Anthony. It is said that on her voyage down the Nile to meet the famous leader, she had the sails of her ship soaked with the essential oils of rose and orange three times a day. Of course, she had the 'staff?’ to accomplish this. The significance of the rose oil is that it is has an effect of opening one's heart to being receptive. Orange oil brings harmony and balance to both body and mind. So this aromatic blend set the scene and the mood for her to be favorably received. Imagine the affect this had on Mark Anthony as well as all the town's people as Cleopatra's ship sailed into the harbor! Well, I'm sure this was not the only ploy she played on him. But I'm also certain it was quite effective!
Rose oil is particularly effective for opening and balancing all of our energy centers. It has the highest vibrational frequency of all plants and raises the frequency of all our body's cells. Experience the emotional balancing and uplifting in Garden of Eve Joy to the Heart aromatic hand and body cream. http://www.gardenofeveskincare.com/hand-body.html
True this lovely blend of Rose & Citrus does call to our hearts – uplifting and opening our energies. It also is formulated with botanicals that are specifically beneficial for our skin.
You can never have too much Joy!
Are You Sensitive to Scents?
Although the only aroma in Garden of Eve Skincare products is that of pure steam distilled plants, I understand some people's systems are so sensitive they can easily be overwhelmed even by the scents of natural ingredients.
For this reason all Garden of Eve products are available with little or no scent. You can view our at http://www.gardenofeveskincare.com/no-scent.html
Being chemically sensitive myself, I know how difficult and frustrating it can be to find quality products to use. This is why I developed Garden of Eve skincare products - first for myself.
Now, it is a pleasure for me to help people looking for non-toxic products that benefit their skin. Although most people do very well with my basic formulations, I am happy to customize products when needed.

The New Year’s Resolution that Fuels Them All:Self-Care;
' Bringing in the New Year traditionally inspires making resolutions to do better, be better and take better self-care. What to do to ensure the energy, and positive outlook to maintain the focus toward goals for 2010? It’s easy; make self-care the #1 priority. At Garden of Eve safe skin care is the primary mission. It isn't any wonder their products excel in the Skin Deep database, a popular consumer guide to safe cosmetic products.
Afton, VA (PRWEB) December 2, 2009 --
Garden of Eve is proud to announce their support of the #1 important New Year's Resolution - taking care of oneself. After the Holiday Season’s festivities many people notice that their indulgence in the temptations of food and drink, has taken a toll on their energy and physical appearance. Along with the dryness of winter climate’s air, water and indoor heating one can’t miss that their skin now wants special pampering for renewal. All of this serves as motivation for making New Year’s resolutions for self-care. New Year’s resolutions come and go, but one that has stood the test of time and drives all the others is Self-Care. By taking care of oneself FIRST it’s then possible to focus on relationships and on goal achievement. Along with improved eating habits, getting adequate rest, and exercise, skin care tops the charts in the self-care category. But unlike the first three, it’s not really dependent on having a lot of self-control, so it has a higher probability of success.
“What better way to start the New Year in 2010 than pursuing safe skin care as a pathway to improved self-care”
Bringing the New Year in with an improved choice of safe skin care products is in keeping with the times. Today, consumers are seeking value in their purchases. Skin care that protects health rather than compromises health, as well as being a quality product that provides effective skin care is considered to be a purchase of optimum value. To assist with kicking-off the New Year’s Resolutions, Garden of Eve is offering a New Year’s Resolution Discount Special.
"The harsh chemicals in many beauty products are unknowingly absorbed into the skin and ultimately can travel through the body by way of the circulatory system. Consumers are beginning to realize that safe skin care is as important to their well-being as the food they eat.” says Garden of Eve founder and health consultant Eve Stahl. “With some skin care ingredients being linked to kidney or liver damage and other severe problems, there is great importance in having alternative options for women and men who want to maintain an all-around healthy lifestyle.
It’s well known that the skin is the first line of defense against all elements, such as microorganisms, wind, and pollutants. Its “acid mantle,” provides a barrier function against harmful substances in the environment. Additionally it should protect us from the harmful ingredients used in some skin care products. However, penetration enhancer ingredients are used to overcome the body’s natural defense mechanism. Those armed with the latest in skin care research and products that are proven by hard data to be pure, do have a fighting chance. The secret weapon of a wise consumer is to be an educated consumer.
Fortunately, now there’s an online database where consumers can go to see first-hand what kind of harmful substances might be in their favorite face cream or suntan lotion. The “Skin Deepdatabase provides all the information that consumers need to make informed decisions about their skin care products. The database was created in response to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), findings that more than 750 personal care products that are sold in the U.S. violate industry safety or cosmetic safety standards in other industrialized countries, according to the EWG in a 2007 letter to the FDA. For those in the know, there are safe alternatives.
Enter Garden of Eve products, made for both men and women and ranging in scope from cleansers to moisturizer creams. Eve’s products provide a natural alternative to other brands and are made with organic and wild crafted extracts and essential oils of herbs and exotic flowers that naturally replenish the skin. The Garden of Eve product line, founded in 2003 by health consultant and beauty expert Eve Stahl, is specially crafted to revitalize the skin in a 100% safe and ecologically- friendly manner. Garden of Eve skin care products are at the head of the class for safety, both in the Skin Deep database and in the hearts and minds of customers world-wide. What better way to start the New Year in 2010 than pursuing safe skin care as a pathway to improved self-care.”

Excellent results can be achieved with ingredients from nature." Eve's own experience with environmental sensitivity and sensitive skin issues led her on a journey that eventually resulted in the creation of her own company. She built Garden of Eve based on green business practices, such as using reusable and recyclable packaging materials from suppliers' shipments and local stores that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Using plant ingredients rather than synthetic petro-chemicals, printing on recycled paper, and choosing Energy Star-rated electronic equipment are some of the other green choices that Garden of Eve makes in doing its part. Eve is also a participating member of the Green America Business Network and a signer of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Together, both of these non-profit organizations exemplify the two guiding principles on which she developed her company - safe for people and safe for the planet.

Garden of Eve was created by Eve Stahl, a health consultant and beauty expert with a passion for protecting the planet."We don't need to sacrifice our health for the beauty of our skin, and likewise we don't need to sacrifice the health of our planet to have beautiful skin. Excellent results can be achieved with ingredients from nature." Eve's own experience with environmental sensitivity and sensitive skin issues led her on a journey that eventually resulted in the creation of her own company. She built Garden of Eve based on green business practices, such as using reusable and recyclable packaging materials from suppliers' shipments and local stores that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Using plant ingredients rather than synthetic petro-chemicals, printing on recycled paper, and choosing Energy Star-rated electronic equipment are some of the other green choices that Garden of Eve makes in doing its part. Eve is also a participating member of the Green America Business Network and a signer of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Together, both of these non-profit organizations exemplify the two guiding principles on which she developed her company - safe for people and safe for the planet.
