Healing Anthropology: A Different Approach to Skincare
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 05. 9.07
When it comes to beauty treatments, we’re constantly looking for new products that will help manage our dry skin. It seems the key to this is to sample and use products that will hydrate yet not leave an oily residue. When we tried Healing Anthropology’s Rejuvenating Face Cream we were hooked. The wonderful smell of the organic green tea combined with Vitamin C left a sweet smell while the grape seed and jojoba oils hydrated our skin perfectly. Another favorite was the Purifying Clay Exfoliant mask made with organic blue cornmeal, herbs and rose petals. We tend to shy away from masks, fearing that our skin will be stripped from its moisture, but with this mask, the usual water mixture can be substituted with a few different ingredients for different results. For example, it’s recommended that for dry skin we mix the mask with warm honey and yogurt and we were delighted by our glowing skin. “Our products are unlike any others; ultra luxurious, effective and 100% natural. They are literally like food, but for your skin,” said president and founder Sabrina Posillico. Each of Healing Anthropology’s products are blended by hand in small batches and do not contain synthetic ingredients. All of the company’s products are shipped in BioBags (products aren’t boxed to cut down on waste), labels are printed with soy based inks and the marketing and press materials are enclosed in RePockets. Healing Anthropology also offers a Nurturing Baby Line formulated to be delicate and calming. ::Healing Anthropology

Puh-lease. Isn't this a little superficial?
I just turned 78 years old today. I've got what what they call pretty old dry skin. Every time I take a shower, especially in the winter I have a terrible itching problem. It is usually only my legs.A few years ago I mixed up 2/3,s Witch Hazel with 1/3 baby oil [mineral] in a bottle and applied liberally. works like a charm. No more waking up in the night going out of my mind. And the alchohol in the Witch Hazel seems to dry the oil okay. Cheap.
I think it's great. When you look at the major brands and their complete disregard for the contents of the products or the environment we need some upstarts to change things. Good job Healing Anthropology. Cool name too.
J.C. - Mineral oil? That's a petroleum product that is really unhealthy.
I stumbled upon this article. Thank you. They look like good products. And yes, it's better to use a good cream than no cream.
But what immediately came to my mind is this: healing yourself FROM THE INSIDE is what will give your skin the best glow, and makes you look younger. (Look at the picture on my blog. I'm 44. I give and get lots of Reiki healing.)
Yes, I'm just a sample of one. However, after a Reiki healing energy treatment, all clients' faces are completely changed. Deeply relaxed, like they just woke up from a long Sunday afternoon nap. Genuine stress release is something that no face cream can match.
