Here’s what we know about the Julia Roberts skin care regimen: The wide beaming smile and pearly white teeth make her one of the most instantly recognizable celebrities. Then you notice the ageless looking complexion that still doesn’t look much older than when she hit the big time back in 1990 with the box office smash hit Pretty Woman. So what’s her secret to youthful glowing good looks?
For Julia Roberts, staying youthful is as much about good genetics and being happy as it is about skin care products and diet. If you’re happy inside, then it radiates from you. So enjoying life and keeping negative emotions, depression and anxiety under control are vital. Of course, it also helps to keep your skin clean, which she does. But on the whole, she describes her skin care regime as pretty basic. She’s a mom to 3 kids which often doesn’t leave her much time to do more than brush her teeth (her number one priority), wash her face and put on some sunscreen.
As is noticeable from her photos, Julie prefers to keep makeup at a minimum. Fresh, natural and applied with a light hand are descriptions that spring to mind. Some eyeliner, mascara and some lip gloss or lipstick and that’s about it.
Julia Roberts Skin Care – Aging Gracefully With A Smile
When it comes to diet, Julia tries to avoid gluten and prefers organic but apart from that, she just tries to eat well. This means ensuring that foods like salmon, berries, herbs and fruit are well represented. It also doesn’t preclude her from indulging in the odd splurge but she’s living proof that so long as your overall diet is healthy, the atypical lapse isn’t going to ruin your life.
She also exercises regularly, using a combination of yoga, aerobics, Pilates, kickboxing, swimming, jogging and weights. Interspersed with core engaging exercises that are wonderful for getting rid of bloat!
Oh and that famous smile – smiling is proven to release endorphins which helps reduce stress. And it gives your facial muscles a workout, increasing blood flow to the area and helping to reduce that worn out look.
Does the Julia Roberts Skin Care Regimen include Argan Oil?
Well … we assume it does as more and more people are getting on the argan oil bandwagon, and these people are looking for good sources of 100% raw organic argan oil, and for good reason!
The Many Benefits Of Argan Oil
Did you know? Many common skincare products are loaded with industrial chemicals. According to some estimates, there are more than 10,000 of them! This is on top of the 168 or so hazardous types of chemicals that the average US citizen is exposed to on a daily basis.
The skin is a particularly absorptive organ. It has a tendency to soak up many of the substances it comes into contact with. The good, the bad, and the ugly! Beneficial and hazardous, whether it’s airborne pollutants, cosmetics, or skincare products. If you’re using products that contain some of these harmful compounds they will end up in your body, courtesy of your skin. This is part of the reason why the natural skincare movement is increasing in popularity. People are simply tired of exposing their skin, and risking their health, with potentially harmful products.
A product that has been attracting a lot of attention from those interested in natural, ethical, and sustainable skin care products, is Argan Oil. This is a completely natural product that comes from a special type of tree growing almost exclusively in a small protected area in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
As the name indicates, Argan Oil is an oil. It has a centuries old history of use in its native Morocco for everything from cooking to skincare to hair care. It also has anecdotal therapeutic value for treating skin disorders like psoriasis, acne, and eczema. For skincare purposes it’s used as a moisturizer and to help reduce age related skin changes such as wrinkles.
A Few Argan Oil Production Facts
Argan Oil is extracted from the seed kernels of a tree called Argania spinosa L. The ancient spiny tree is native to southwestern Morocco and once covered most of northern Africa. It was instrumental in helping prevent soil erosion but severe over exploitation has led to its decline. As a result the Sahara Desert has been able to expand northwards into areas it never used to be and today the tree’s natural habitat is severely restricted. One of the last remaining natural forests is located in the UNESCO protected Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve in the Atlas Mountains. There are also small plots of trees in Israel and Algeria but the tree itself remains on the endangered species list.
The Argania tree, which doesn’t begin fruiting until it’s at least 30 – 50 years old, produces an annual crop of small yellow green fruit that drops from the tree when ripe. Whilst some producers wait until the fruit falls before collecting them from the ground, others prefer to pick them from the tree before that happens. Either way, collecting the fruit is very much a manual process!
Traditionally the fruit is then dried in the sun to make extracting the kernel containing seedpods easier. Some producers do employ modern processing methods that can extract the kernels without the need to dry the flesh first, which speeds up the process. However, many producers still use the old sun drying method. The discarded flesh is usually used as livestock feed.
Once the seedpods have been extracted from the flesh, the task of removing the kernels begins. This is an extremely labor intensive process because it’s still done by hand to avoid damaging the kernels. The seedpods are placed between two stones and gently cracked open until the kernels can be extracted. The kernels are then either roasted for use in producing culinary Argan Oil or crushed raw for cosmetic Argan Oil. After crushing the resulting paste is hand kneaded to bring out the oil, which is then decanted and filtered. The residue, like the dried flesh, is used as livestock feed.
With traditional crushing and processing methods, it can take several days to produce just one liter of precious Argan Oil! Modern crushing and pressing methods though are able to speed this process up. Not only are they faster, but they can also extract more oil from the seeds, and produce a purer oil as well.
Argan Oil A Valuable But Rare Source Of Nutrients
Regardless of processes used, Argan Oil production is still very much restricted by the availability of the trees, and by the necessary manual parts of the process. This explains in part why it’s so rare, and expensive! However, despite this Argan Oil and Argan Oil products are highly valued because the oil contains valuable fatty acids, polyphenols, antioxidants, and vitamins, notably vitamin E.
Argan Oil is a source of quality Tocopherol ie vitamin E, an antioxidant commonly used in skincare products because of its value for protecting the skin from UV damage and free radicals. Vitamin E also helps re-hydrate skin by improving its ability to hold onto and utilize water.
Being an oil, Argan Oil contains essential fatty acids. These are fatty acids that the body can’t manufacture so they have to come from the diet or via topical applications. Fatty acids are a primary component in cell membranes and brain tissue. Argan Oil contains Omega 3, 6 and 9 mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a particularly good source of Omega 6 (Linoleic) and Omega 9 (Oleic) FA’s. These play a vital role in maintaining good skin health.
Argan Oil also contains valuable anti-oxidants in the form of natural carotenes, phenols, and squalene.
Who Stands To Benefit From Argan Oil Skincare Products?
Argan Oil is popular with those who have dry or sensitive skin, wrinkles and stretch marks, frizzy hair, soft fingernails etc. However, anyone with an interest in natural, non-chemical skin and hair care products should consider looking into the considerable benefits to be gained from using this ancient oil. It does however need to be pure and not diluted down to make a ‘cheaper’ product. Pure, natural Argan Oil is, by virtue of its scarcity and intensive production methods, more expensive than other products but in many cases it’s worth it.
