TOP 10 ISRAELI SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS - POST #10 (FINAL)

The tenth and last-listed of the top ten Israeli skin-care products is:

OBEY YOUR BODY PEELING GEL

Finally, "beauty generalist and pop culture scientist" Amber recommends another Dead Sea product, but from the unlikely venue of one of the kiosks  staffed by young Israelis to be found at numerous American malls.

Her pick is Obey Your Body, which includes a "phenom" body/hand lotions well as peeling gel about which she is "wildly impressed".

This is a blogger who has been to Israel (on Birthright), loves Israelis, and found that her case of eczema disappeared after a dip in the Dead Sea, so she may be biased. But her evidence cannot be refuted.

SABON'S ORGANIC HAND CREAM

A Sugar Shock (www.sugarshockbeauty.com) favorite is Sabon's Organic Hand Cream., from the organic line of skincare products approved by leading organic authority EcoCert. Free of parabens and sulfates, the face and body products nurture skin with extracts from the Swiss Alps.

The Sabon Organic Hand cream is a salve nich in olive and academe oils, shea butter, aloe and vitamin E "that nourishes hands without feeling greasy.

YAROK'S GREEN WITH ENVY SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

At SugarShock Beauty Blog (www.sugarshockbeauty.com), which reviews "under-the-radar" and cult beauty products, Yarok's Green with Envy Shampoo and conditioner received high marks.

YAROK Haircare was created by Mordechai Alvow, an Israeli who divides his time between Israel and the US, who wanted to create a botanically based line of restorative hair care products.

Although not made in Israel, they were created by an Israeli who has used his Israeli Knowledge of traditional nutrient-rich oils to create a line of organic products.Notable are the floral/botanical packaging and especially the "invigoratingly aromatic" shampoo and conditioner that cleanses and conditions but doesn't coat the hair with gunk. 

This and comparable products actually produced in Israel can be found at www.buyisraelgoods.org.

ANNA LOTAN'S PINEAPPLE SCRUB

The third-listed of Israel21c'a stop ten Israeli skin-care products is:

AHAVA BUTTER SALT BODY SCRUB
Among the beauty productaf iciaonados, bloggrer Product Girl likes Ahava body scrub Body Salt from the Pure Spa line.

Instead of the usual "oily, course salt scrub" that are "so unappealing", Ahava's body scrub is dry and requires a small amount of water before being rubbed into your skin, for optimum moisturization and exfoliation.

"The scent is soothing - Mandarin and Cedarwood - and clings lightly to the skin. By the time your scrubbing is complete, the product has evolved into a lotion consistency, sealing moisture." She tells readers to check it out at any Ulta store.

SKIN PRODUCTS RELATED TO PREGNANCY

The Mommy Care Company provides high quality skin care products designed to address the specific needs of pregnant and post-pregnant women.

Using only all natural baby-safe active ingredients, the Mommy Care line of products can be used to prevent stretch marks, reduce swelling, and even to help the body to regain its shape after pregnancy.

The human skin-has three distinct layers: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer) and the  subcutaneous stratum (innermost layer). Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. This is also the layer of skin that becomes loose as pregnant women's bodies expand to accommodate their growing babies. That is why products that only treat the surface of the skin are ineffective in the treatment or prevention of stretch marks, loose skin, and other pregnancy-related concerns.Mommy Care treatments use the latest Trace Element that enable optimal absorption into the lower layers of the skin, where most of damage caused by pregnancy occurs.

Between 75% and 90% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during pregnancy. A recent study shows that daily application of cream containing vitamin E, Shea butter, and avocado oil were associated with fewer stretch marks.
