Paying more for a cream doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see better results. However, it’s important to point out that most creams, regardless of price, do take time to improve your skin and it’s rare, if not impossible, to achieve long-lasting results instantly. You also need to be realistic. Even the best formulated cream in the world won’t miraculously transform your skin and reverse ageing entirely. |

Skin around the eye area is very thin, therefore vulnerable to moisture loss and loss in elasticity. Vit E and Aloe Vera extract immediately hydrates and firms up the skin, creating a protective film over this area. It helps to reduce sagging, reduces dark spots and softens fine lines |
The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health. Dietary and topical ascorbic acid have beneficial effects on skin cells, and some studies have shown that vitamin C may help prevent and treat ultraviolet (UV)-induced photodamage. With continuous use, Vitamin C can help prevent dark spots from forming in the first place. It works as a brightening agent that helps fade brown spots without altering normal skin pigmentation. Vitamin C is never used by itself, but it is always used in the context of a serum, in combination with other skin-enhancing oils such as lavender, sage and Aloe Vera which all contain soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that improves skin texture, in combination with the pro-collagen and pro-elastin effects of Vit C .It usually takes 3-6 weeks to see results . |

There are several essential oils and blends that we can make to help support our lymphatic system. Using certain essential oils to help address lymphatic stagnancy and lymphedema, may reduce swelling in tissues, decrease body bloat, and reduce glandular or joint swelling, followed by decreased pain. Lymph flow is important to maintaining good health, as the lymphatic system is an integral part of the immune system, bathing the body’s tissues with lymph, a clear liquid, which collects bacteria, viruses, metabolic debris and other harmful substances. When the lymphatic system is blocked, it cannot carry out its pathogen-fighting activity and the fluid becomes stagnant, thus impairing the immune system. In addition to swelling and immune system impairment, stagnant lymph may cause on-site inflammation and infection. Unchecked, this stagnation may cause lymphedema, which can contribute to long-term, serious, painful conditions such as cellulitis. |

There are many reasons for dry, itching scalp, such as Dandruff, Ringworm or Lice, but if these causes have been eliminated, then it makes sense to hydrate the scalp with soothing essential oils. Massaging certain essential oils into the scalp for a few minutes a day, will also stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles. This increased blood flow will stimulate the growth of healthy hair, and ensure that the skin on the scalp remains soft and smooth. It will also help if one eliminates an excess of sugar from one's diet and increases the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits containing Vit A in its natural form. Remember to practise good head hygiene by washing oily hair regularly with a gentle shampoo. |

Using a body cream is important because it retains the moisture and elasticity in the skin and also act as a protective barrier for the skin. Cold weather and dry air are contributing factors for dry skin, as well as exposure to harsh chemicals in soaps or other products. Washing the skin excessively, especially with hot water,can cause unbalanced skin pH and remove our natural oils from the skin. Skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis, along with diabetes and hypothyroidism all play a large part in creating dry skin. It therefore makes a great deal of sense to replace the natural oils that our skin has lost. |
A deoderant is not the same as an antiperspirant . A deoderant works to mask or neutralize the smell of body odor, but does not block sweating, which is nature's way of keeping your body cooled as well as eliminating waste products from your body. The function of aluminum in conventional deodorant-antiperspirant formulas is to essentially plug your sweat glands, which in turn keeps you dry. Aluminium has been linked to many health problems and should really be avoided as much as possible. Added to this is the fact that most deoderants/antiperspirants contain many other chemicals thac may be absorbed through the skin. To switch over from commercially produced deoderants to natural deoderants takes about 2 weeks while your body adjusts. During this period, you may become aware that your body odour becomes stronger. Power your way through this transition period! As your body adjusts to the neatural products, the odour will disappear and yout health will be improved |
You probably already know that once lost, tooth enamel can’t be replaced. You may not know, however, that the mineral content of existing tooth enamel can be increased by using a remineralizing toothpaste. Remineralization helps strengthen the entire tooth. It also repairs weak spots, and makes teeth less sensitive to hot and cold. In order to get the best results, it’s important to choose the right product.Tooth enamel can't be regenerated but the mineral content within teeth can be increased. Remineralizing toothpaste formulas, when combined with proper oral health and dietary choices, can help teeth become stronger, more comfortable, and less susceptible to cavities. Remineralizing toothpastes also help prevent additional tooth decay from occurring, especially when they’re combined with proactive oral care habits, such as brushing and flossing after meals. |
