7 easy multitasking ways to boost beauty + wellness at the same time


DRINK WATER

A cool glass of chilled spring water provides many benefits for health and beauty.  Water regulates our temperature, eliminates toxins, keeps us hydrated, lubricates joints and so much more. 

It’s vital to our existence of course and essential to a clear smooth complexion.  Drinking the necessary amount of water everyday carries skin beautifying nutrients everywhere they are needed to keep skin supple and well hydrated.  

Even using water with skincare products to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize our skin is essential topically as well.



REMEMBER THE C

Vitamin C is a nutrient our bodies require every day to function at its best.  Vitamin C is an antioxidant so it helps prevent free radical damage. 

Foods rich in vitamin C include sweet peppers, oranges, kiwi fruit, broccoli, and strawberries.  There are many delicious sources of this necessary nutrient.

Eating food rich in vitamin C helps make collagen in our skin which makes helps keep our faces smooth and firm.

TEA IS THE NEW COFFEE

We love coffee and tea is our new BFF.  Tea is also rich in healthy antioxidants that help us live our best every day.  Antioxidants in tea and also from juicing fresh produce supplies our skin with beauty boosting antioxidants.

Drinking herbal teas is also an amazing way to drink more water.  It’s good iced during the summer and warm during the cooler months.

Sipping tea is a way to wind down and relax.  Green tea and Black tea have levels of caffeine that also help keep us a little more focused when needed.

VITAMIN A GETS AN A+

Vitamin A is another antioxidant and it’s important for good vision, cell functions, immune system health, bone growth and more.  Enjoying foods rich in vitamin A helps keep our skin clear and smooth.

Foods rich in vitamin A include sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe, broccoli, and mangos.  And there are many many more!

JUST RELAX

Relaxing is good for us and essential to wellness, great news! 

Relaxing minimizes the formation of fine lines on the face and keeps our skin from practicing wrinkles.  

Getting a massage, taking a yoga class, leisure travel and other wellness activities can help us enjoy each day and look great while doing it.

EMBRACE EXERCISE

Exercising and meditating feed a positive attitude that results in a pleasing countenance.  And of course it keeps us fit, strong, flexible and alert.

Find a type you enjoy and that fits your lifestyle and doc’s orders.  Exercising keeps our bodies, which includes our faces, fit and lifted.

BEAUTY SLEEP

Sleeping in adequate amounts helps our skin can replenish itself.  Clearer healthy looking skin is just a few winks away.

R & R can help us improve our mood, think more clearly, and be ready for full productive and enjoyable days upon days!

3 science facts that make skin beautiful


'LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE'

Oil dissolves oil

The scientific principle of 'like dissolves like' means polar substances dissolve polar substances & non-polar substances dissolve non-polar substances (i.e. oil & water DON'T dissolve each other because water is polar & oil is non-polar)
We formulated STRIP and K19 using this fact.
Oil accumulates on the skin from sebum, pollution, makeup, lotions, hair products & more.
Our skin needs oil to remove oil from the surface.  
Cleansing  first with a properly formulated oil-based wash prepares the skin for exfoliation.

'ABRASIVE MATERIALS POLISH'

For your skin, we're using soft gentle grains & flower petals to eliminate dull looking complexions

Abrasive materials have a hardness that is greater than the surface they are polishing.
Our skin loving face exfoliants use the mechanics of abrasion to gently whisk away dry flaky skin.
This action helps keep skin fresh & clear looking & absolutely radiant.
We formulated REVEAL, BUFF, Zn30 & CLEAN Black Soap using this functionality.

'OIL & WATER DON'T MIX'

Lock in hydration by minimizing the evaporation of skin plumping & beautifying water droplets

This is one chemistry fact all of us remember from science class!
Our skin pampering face oil mixtures rely on this universal fact.
After cleansing & exfoliating & rinsing, our formulas seal in moisture by allowing you to press our plant-rich oil products on to your face leaving it fresh & dewy.
Our face oils, emulsions & serums make this middle school rule a real beauty booster.
