Is your skin thirsty?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body that requires more attention then you might have thought. It protects our inner selves from the outside world filled with pollution and free radicals. It works to keep body temperature in control and prevents loss of water. But what happens when our skin isn't hydrated?

When your largest organ is thirsty is is dehydrated, just like you might think of yourself in the summer heat. It is more likely to irritate, act sensitive and the biggest oh,my! Is that it is more likely to age faster. Is is EXTREMELY important to moisturize, even if you have oily skin. Because hydrated skin is beautiful skin that will less likely develop wrinkles and flaws over time. To replenish skin externally it is essential to use a moisturizer which penetrates the skin's outer layer. Antioxidants will act helpful in this situation by fighting free radical damage. You should look for ingredients like: Rosehip (Rosehip & Ginger night cream), Aloe Vera (Found in all our creams), Chamomile, Papaya etc.

Creams and lotions containing oil and water-soluble vitamins, in particular vitamins A, B, C, and E, will promote healthy cell growth. A recent addition to moisturizer formulas, the antioxidant co-enzyme Q10, when combined with vitamin E, promotes effective cell growth properties (Found in our Watermelon & CoQ10 moisturizer).

Of course, proper nutrition, plenty of sleep, outdoor exercise, and drinking at least six to eight glasses of water per day are essential for healthy, well-hydrated skin. But just drinking water will not always keep you hydrated. The body requires certain minerals called electrolytes to carry the water into the cells of the body. The best way to get a proper balance of electrolytes is to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Flavonoids are also required to maintain healthy skin. Flavonoids are the group of plant pigments that give colour to fruits, flowers, and some vegetables. Great dietary sources of flavonoids are citrus fruits, berries, onions, green tea, legumes, parsley, and sage. Flavonoids slow down the destruction of collagen (the protein that structures skin and blood vessels), preventing and decreasing wrinkling, loss of skin elasticity, bruising, and varicose veins. Simply put, foods such as fruits and beans can slow down the aging process.

Remember, you can age gracefully and healthy and your outlook will reflect the youthful way you feel inside!

Where have we been?

We have been off blogger for quite a while but thankfully the time we took off was worthwhile. Our great designers updated our site and I myself happened to come up with more than few great formulations that will truly change the way you look at your skin. Firstly we are launching a 100% Natural and Certified Organic Mineral Foundation that not only acts as coverage.




"This 100% Natural & Certified Organic foundation works to nourish like a tinted moisturizer yet is highly pigmented like a foundation, providing lasting, natural coverage. With specific pursuits in mind this foundation was formulated with 5 angles like no other. Anti-Aging: Alginate, CoQ10, Kola Nut, Green Tea, Orchid, Bilberry, Rose and Watermelon. Nourishing: Jojoba, Watermelon, Cucumber, Apricot. Anti-Inflammatory: Aloe, Blue Chamomile, Calendula, Horsetail, Cucumber. SPF 30 + Chemical free sun protection with Zinc and Titanium Dioxide (Physical sun block). Blemish Fighting: Sugar Cane and Maple, Lemon, Manuka Honey, Jojoba, and Oregon Grape. "


Go quickly and take a look at these babies on our site. We already sold out of our first batches and are getting raving reviews for these products:


"I use the Clinique tinted moisturizer and I love it. I think though that this foundation works better on my skin. The coverage is better and it’s moisturizing. The SPF is awesome and I love the anti-aging benefits since I am in my 60's. Thanks!"

"Every dark foundation that I used broke me out, not this one. I have extremely sensitive skin with psoriasis so I tend to shy away from makeup all together. Also I was told that I shouldn't use powdered Titanium Dioxide because its toxic in powdered form. I love this foundation but I really want you guys to come up with more makeup and cosmetics. I have been using your shadows too but I would appreciate a wider selection :) Love the lip shine's though. My favorite is Strawberry!"
