Uneven Skin Tone: Its Causes and What can Be Done About it

Uneven skin tone, called hyper-pigmentation occurs in a lot more of the population than people with healthy looking, even toned skin think. In fact, if your skin is even and has that natural looking glow then you should consider yourself lucky. For people who have hyper-pigmentation can often look more than 12 years older than they actually as a result of this condition. Here are some common causes of this condition and some ways to combat it.

What Causes Uneven Skin Tone?

• Too much sun exposure: Frequent exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage the skin and cause brown spots to appear. This can lead to uneven skin tone as excess melanin begins to develop. Moderate your sun exposure all year round even during the winter and fall when UV levels can still be quite high.
• Certain hormones: A hormonal condition called Melasma – which is often seen in pregnant women or in women who are taking contraceptives on a regular basis – can lead to hyper-pigmentation.
• Some medications: The main medications that can cause uneven skin tone include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), phenytoin, antimalarials, amiodarone, antipsychotic drugs, cytotoxic drugs, tetracyclines, and heavy metals.
• Skin conditions: Acne or rather the scarring that is the result of acne lesions or can damage the skin so too can popping pimples and trying to spot treat this condition.

Treatments for Hyper-pigmentation

• Corrective makeup: One solution – which really isn’t a solution for uneven skin – is simply to cover it over with makeup such as concealer, setting powder, etc. This solution does not get too the root of the problem.
• Sunscreen: Sunscreen can protect your skin from the harmful UV rays the sun emits. Apply it regularly when you go out and you can eradicate one of the leading causes of hyper-pigmentation. Just be sure to use one that is SPF 15 or greater.
• Laser treatment: Some people who are at their wits end when it comes to uneven skin tone try laser treatment. However, some studies have found that the heat and inflammation produced by the laser can trigger new pigment production.
• Kojic Acid Cream: Kojic Acid Cream goes to the root of the problem and helps to even out uneven skin tone. It doesn’t just hide what is still there beneath the surface as makeup does.

Proper skin care does not take a lot of time or money. You can do so quickly and easily using common sense, the guidance of your dermatologist and with our natural skin care products such as our Kojic Acid Cream. Just remember to stay consistent with whatever treatment you use to combat uneven skin.

Natural vs. Synthetic Skin Care vs. Products: Which is best for You?

When it comes to skin care products, there are a growing number of people who are very particular about using only natural skin care products. These people know that most synthetic products contain ingredients that are harmful to the skin. So, could natural skin care products be the perfect solution to your problem skin? Do synthetic skin care products do more harm than good? These are two questions you must ask yourself if are considering making the switch to our natural health products.

Your selection of a natural skin care product should be based on 4 factors:

1. Your skin type (dry, oily, normal or sensitive). Not all natural skin care products are suitable for all skin types.
2. The climatic conditions in which it will be used e.g. heat and humidity.
3. The process for application/use of the natural skin care product: A good natural skin care product (in fact any product) will be ineffective if used improperly. Generally, the learning curve for using these natural products is usually pretty low.
4. The ingredients: Start reading labels and choose ingredients you recognize. If it doesn’t sound like something you’d like to put in your mouth, then it’s probably not something you should put on your skin. Most people think nothing of applying ingredients they don’t recognize to their skin. However, that is a mistake. Synthetic deodorants contain a rogue’s gallery of unhealthy chemical such as Cocamide DEA/MEA, Sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate and cocamidopropyl betaine.

Organic fruits, and herbal oils for the basis of many as a natural skin care products. Some essential oils, for example, are known for their moisturizing and antiseptic properties. However, using a natural skin care product does not mean that you can neglect other aspects of your skin care regime. Natural skin care products should be used as supplements to the following ‘essential’ recommendations: healthy eating habits (avoiding oily food), regular exercise, drinking a lot of water (8 glasses everyday), and cleanliness. All these habits are at the core of any skin care health regime. Our products – such as our Retinol A cream and our Camellia Moisturizing Cream – can help protect the body’s largest organ – the skin. We sell a host of natural health products that contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of the entire body including our

NAC supplement.

6 Reasons You Should Use Natural Deodorant

Many people have embraced a healthy lifestyle when it comes to what they put into their bodies. However, some people are now learning that what we put on our bodies is just as just as important. We are referring to natural deodorants and how long they have come since their inception. They are no longer a poor substitute for deodorants filled with artificial ingredients. Here’s a list of reasons you should switch to natural deodorant:

• Natural deodorants are cruelty-free: Unlike deodorants made with artificial ingredients, natural deodorants are usually manufactured without harming animals.
• Natural deodorants are less likely to irritate the skin: The way most deodorants work is that they clog your pores with leads to discomfort, rashes, etc. Additionally, they can play havoc on people with sensitive skin in particular. In contrast, the right natural deodorant can actually make your skin softer and smoother while reducing perspiration levels.
• Natural deodorants are made without the harmful chemicals found in traditional deodorants: Artificial deodorants contain a rogue’s gallery of chemicals that can have a detrimental effect on your health. These include chemicals such as aluminum, parabens, phthalates and triclosan. In fact, some research has linked aluminum with breast cancer in women.
• Artificial deodorants harm the environment: Deodorant sprays in particular contribute to air pollution as they contain high amounts of volatile organic compounds which degrade the ozone layer.
• Natural deodorants help detoxify your body: Traditional deodorants prevent you from sweating. This may sound like a good thing but we human beings are supposed to sweat. Sweat eliminates toxins from our bodies. Natural deodorants allow some perspiration so your body can get rid of these toxins.
• Natural deodorants don’t ruin your clothing: How many blouses or shirts have you ruined over the course of a lifetime using artificial deodorants? Those yellow stains that traditional deodorants produce are caused by aluminum which natural deodorants do not contain. Thus, natural deodorants are friendlier to your wardrobe.

Finally, remember that natural deodorants are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Try our natural deodorants for a few weeks. This is how long it takes someone who has been using traditional deodorants to adjust to the change. We believe that once you try our natural deodorants, you’ll never go back. We believe you will feel the same way about our NAC supplement and our other natural skin care products.

The 5 Best Supplements for Boosting Your Immunity

Everyone is concerned today about avoiding the Coronavirus (Covid-19), as well they should be. The people most susceptible to this virus are the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. And while supplement may not cure the virus, some can help you strengthen your immune system which is critical in warding off or fighting most diseases. Here are a few of the best supplements that can help boost your immune system.

• Vitamin D: By now many people know how crucial this nutrient is for building strong, healthy bones. What many people don’t know is that vitamin D is a hormone that also helps boost the immune system. It does so by helping to “turn on” the action of our immune cells. This is critical now but it is also necessary at all times to have a healthy, robust immune response.
• Zinc: This mineral has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. It also helps strengthen the immune system. In fact, some research has shown that the lack of zinc in a person’s diet can cause their immune system to become compromised. Natural food sources of zinc include seafood, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, and soy products
• N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): N-Acetyl Cysteine is an antioxidant amino acid natural found in the body. It supports the immune system by helping to sustain the body’s glutathione anti-oxidant level. Indeed, in several studies NAC supplementation resulted in a significant increase in immune function — with an almost complete restoration of natural killer cells. Our NAC supplement is on sale for a short time.
• Beta Carotene: This powerful antioxidant not only scavenges for free radicals, it also supports the immune system. Food sources of this nutrient include carrots, sweet potatoes, dark leafy greens, such as kale and spinach romaine lettuce, Squash, cantaloupe, red and yellow peppers and apricots.
• Vitamin C, (also known as L-ascorbic acid): This water soluble encourages the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection. Vitamin C, since it is an anti-oxidant, also protects white blood cells from the damage caused by free radicals.

Many of our products support the immune system which is the body’s guardian against disease and infections. We also sell natural skin care products to support the body’s largest organ. Be safe out there and keep an eye on the elderly and people who have a weakened immune system.

6 Essential Skin Care Tips for Teens

It’s all a part of being a teenager as anyone who is or has ever been one knows – oily, difficult to manage skin. Because hormonal changes and diet both conspire to make skincare a top concern for teens, we present these top skin tips:

• Clean your skin carefully and often: Teens – including boys – should clean their skin at least twice a day as oil and dirt get clogged in the pores leading to black heads, pimples etc. This is especially important if you are a teen who engages in sports as you are likely to sweat more often. Finally, carry tissues to blot your skin when it becomes oily
• Watch what you eat: Acne, pimples and other hormone related issues are exacerbated by poor diet. As a teen you should avoid indulging in greasy junk food and instead opt for fresh fruits and vegetable for snacks. Also, be sure to stay hydrated as water helps to keep the skin supple and elastic.
• Use sun block: Being a teen does not make you immune from the UV rays of the sun. Find out what UV level is appropriate for your skin and use sunscreen to protect yourself.
• Don’t pop pimples: It may be tempting to do so but you should avoid popping those pimples. Doing so damages the skin, and can cause dark spots and acne scarring. If you feel you must pop a pimple, then have a dermatologist do it for you or instruct you on how to do it safely yourself.
• See a dermatologist (or your primary care physician): Every teen that has problem skin should have a dermatologist they can visit. They will be able to explain why and how your skin is the way it is and can recommend the best treatment for conditions such as acne, pimple, etc.
• Use natural skin care products: Some mass manufactured skin care can actually have the opposite effect of protecting your skin against the many enemies that it faces e.g., sun, hormones, poor diet, etc. Natural skin care products uses ingredients that are already known to be safe.

Proper skin care does not take a lot of time or money. You can do so quickly and easily using common sense, the guidance of your dermatologist and with our natural skin care products such as our Kojic Acid Cream. Just remember to stay consistent with whatever treatment you use to combat the age old problem of teenage skin care.

Male Skin Care Tips

Just a few years ago the term ‘male skin care’ would have seemed alien to most people. However, more and more men are realizing how important it is to care for their skin. After all, who doesn’t want clear, healthy looking skin? And ever though male skin is very different from female skin, male skin care is similar in some ways to female skin care. Let’s look at the differences and how men can achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Male vs. Female Skin

One of the main differences between male and female skin is that male skin tends to be thicker and oilier. The reason for this is that men have larger pores and more active sebaceous glands than women. Another difference is that since men tend to shave regularly, the skin around a man’s face can dehydrate quite easily. This is why males must make a special effort to keep this part of their bodies hydrated. Unfortunately, many mass produced skin care products for men contain alcohol and other chemicals that can damage the skin in the long term. In this, natural skin care products are very useful. They contain natural ingredients that are proven to be less damaging to skin. Here are a few steps that men should add to their skin care routine.

• Cleanse regularly: Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps to prevent the pores from clogging. Because male skin tends to be oily, cleansing should play a key role in a man’s skin care routine. It should be done at least once every day.
• Get enough rest: Sleep is a time when your skin – and indeed your entire body – goes into repair and regeneration mode. In fact, poor sleep habits have been shown to increase the body’s cortisol levels. High cortisol levels are believed to triggers the skin’s sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Thus, getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best things that a man can do for his skin.
• Use good quality razors: Swivel-head razors are superior to static razors since they are known to reduce cuts. Also, be gentle when using your razor. Use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).
• Use natural skin care products: Even if you’re new to skin care, you’ve probably heard about the power of Retinal-A cream. It and CoQ10 cream both support normal, clean and beautiful skin. Moreover, the use of natural skin care products helps replace mass market skin care products that are full of chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin in particular.

Male skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just takes a few minutes every day to protect the body’s largest organ. Our natural skin care products such as our Kojic Acid Cream do just that without exposing your body to harmful chemicals.

5 Tips for Healthy Winter Skin

During the winter months, cold weather and low humidity levels can turn your skincare routine on its head. What is worse is that indoor heat can add to the problem by zapping the moisture from the air and from your skin. Well, your skin does not have to go through the entire season unprotected. You simply have to tweak your skincare regime to adjust for this unforgiving time of year. Here are 5 tips to follow when it comes to effective winter skincare.

• Invest in a humidifier to maximize moisture: Using a humidifier in your home will not only allow you to adjust the moisture in around you, but it will also help keep your skin from drying out. If you are concerned with electric costs, try running your humidifier (s) only in rooms where you spend the most time.
• Avoid hot showers and baths: Hot water can dehydrate your skin by destroying the natural oils that it produces. When you do shower or bathe, remember to use water that is hot but not too hot and to moisturize your skin immediately afterwards.
• Use supplementation: Retinol-A Cream, and CoQ10 Cream are just a few products that added to your skincare regime can help nourish and protect your skin. Retin-A (tretinoin) is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself. One way it helps is by unclogging pores so that other creams and moisturizes work more effectively. Kojic Acid can be used to treat skin conditions, such scars, and age spots. Finally, CoQ10 cream helps deliver antioxidants to your skin and it helps create collagen and elastin. These three creams should all be a part of your natural skincare
• Moisturize often: In general, people wash their hands more often in the winter months than they do in the summer months in order to avoid germs that cause colds and flu. Therefore, you can maintain healthy skin by moisturizing after washing up and by wearing gloves while you are washing dishes.
• Drink plenty of fluids: As you are moisturizing your skin and avoiding cold winds as much as possible, don’t forget to hydrate yourself from the inside. Drink plenty of water or hot drinks like cocoa and tea, to replace sodas, sugar-filled juices, etc.

So you see, your skin does not have to go the brutal seasons of fall and winter unprotected. Simply tweak your skincare routine to adjust for this unforgiving time of year by using the above tips and by using our natural health products that are designed to hydrate, nourish and protect skin.

Quercetin: 5 Proven and Suspected Benefits of This Powerful Antioxidant

But what exactly is Quercetin and what are some of the proven and suspected benefits of this plant-based powerhouse?

And while many of us get a healthy dose of this in our diet – provided that we eat enough veggies – many us of rely on supplementation to fill the gaps and to get an even greater benefit from this powerful superfood.

The Proven and Suspected Benefits of Quercetin

• Protects the brain: In studies conducted on mice, Quercetin has been found to increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the brain. This antioxidant enzyme is thought to improve cognition, learning and even memory.
• May contain anti-aging properties: Although more research is needed to prove this, Quercetin is believed to help slow down the aging process. This is due to its ability to eliminate harmful, aging senescent cells. This claim has already been proven in studies conducted on earthworms which saw a 15% increase in their lifespan.
• Fights bacteria: Quercetin kills various types of bacteria and reduces Staphylococcus infections, including antibiotic-resistant S. Aureus (MRSA). In cellular studies, Quercetin was proven to be effective in fighting gum and mouth infections as well.
• May help to prevent diabetes: Quercetin significantly lowered blood sugar levels in studies conducted on mice. It is believed to help fight diabetes by blocking the enzymes that degrade complex sugars in the gut after meals.
• Improves heart health: In successful human studies, Quercetin helped reduce high blood pressure in 41 patients after just 28 days of use. The dosage that was used was 500mg/day.

In short, Quercetin is a common link found in many “super-foods.” And although most people can handle supplementation in moderate dosages – 500mg – 1000mg a day  – you should check with your doctor before taking this or anyone else’s natural health products.
