New Year, New Skincare
Happy New Year!
It’s time to give your skin a chance to live and breathe freely! We all know that knowledge is power, so I’d like to help empower you with important INFORMATION about the health and wellness of your skin. I’d also like to provide you with tips on how to give your skin a chance to blossom into the flower it could be. Let’s start watering this seed…
I’d like to introduce to you top-of-the-line skin care products from Arbonne International. They are the absolute latest and greatest, botanically based and ph-correct skin care products that are here to help you! You may be asking yourself, “What does that mean?” Well, here’s the answer. Botanically-based products are based on herbal and botanical principals. Arbonne’s products actually improve the skin because of the botanicals instead of clogging pores and causing ingrown hairs. The base of the products, or the filler, is actually botanical.
“Ph-correct” is a key factor when choosing your skin care products as well. Arbonne’s products are the same ph as skin (with the exception of the exfoliants, for good reason). The ph of our skin is about 5.5 - 6.5 and the ph of some well-known complexion soaps is 14. That’s the same as perm solution! Many companies claim ph-balanced or ph-balancing. Well, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are balanced with the skin. Your skin has an acid mantle on it that protects you from free radicals in the environment. When you use harsh cleansers, etc. you can actually harm that ph level, or acid mantle, and make your skin MORE susceptible to free radicals.
Did you know your skin is an organ? Anything you put on your skin hits every organ in your body, via your bloodstream, in 26 seconds. This is why nicotine and hormone patches work. So, I encourage you to read through the ingredient labels of the products you are using and you’ll be surprised just how much of it you won’t understand! If that concerns you, then it’s time you switch to botanically-based and ph-correct skin care – Arbonne!
More to come!
