Organic Skin Care

By Tammera Aranda

Why Choose Organic Skin Care Products?

What we choose to apply on our skin is important, just as what we choose to eat is important to our overall health. Processed foods have most of the nutrients stripped from them so the healthier choice for our bodies is raw, natural, preferably organic food. The same can be said for skin care choices. Our skin is a living, breathing organ, and the largest in the body. Choosing certified organic skin care is important in decreasing the toxic load on our system. Here are some potentially harmful ingredients that are used in manufacturing the most common non-organic skin care and make-up items:

• Mercury

• Dioxane

• Nitrosamines

• DEA

• Cyclomethicone

• Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

• Alcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40)

• Polyethylene Glycol

How effective is organic skin care?

As a professional in the skin care industry for over 20 years, it has been found that the best skin care available originated in nature. Organic skin care products work better simply because they are made with superior raw active ingredients. The skin absorbs, recognizes and utilizes pure ingredients better than synthetic materials.

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Outdoors

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
