Time and time again I have people tell me how good my skin looks.  Yes there is a hereditary component to having good skin but there is no one secret ingredient or product.  It is a combination of things.

Cosmetic companies claim to have miracles cures for wrinkles and market their expensive products as if they have found the latest break through.  The number one comment I hear is how much money my clients spend on products that don't work.  Just do a Google search and see how many products contain long lists of ingredients you can even pronounce and are $100 - $300 a bottle.

These products are designed to puff out the lines making the skin look temporarily smoother. You will often find water and glycerin are the first two ingredients. These inexpensive ingredients create a waterproof barrier which traps moisture but prevent the skin from it's proper function and actually dehydrates the skin.  The skin ends up with dry patches and it really doesn't look smoother.

The skin really requires high quality ingredients to properly moisturize and rejuvenate. Ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid ( to boost collagen and elastin ), DMAE, Vitamin A, B, C & E, CoQ10,Alpha Lipoic Acid,  Aloe Vera and anti-oxidants from fruits such as  Vitamin C, A, E and B's. 

These ingredients penetrate the skin cells and help cell renewal activity and moisturising. Lines and wrinkles appear when the skin's collagen and elastin breaks down, and is a natural aging effect. You can minimize this effect by consistently using skin care products with the natural ingredients mentioned above. 

Here is what I do for my skin and it works. You can do as much or as little as you feel you can do and it's up to you to choose what you can stick to......

1.    Cleanse, Tone and moisturize twice a day.
2.    Use an eye cream and serum every night ( our Anti-wrinkle Night Cream is a 3 in 1 so you only need the one product ).                                                             
3.    Do a fruit peel and mask every week.
4.    Stay away from all sugar and wheat products.
5.    Minimize alcohol.
6.    Don't smoke.
7.    Don't use hot or cold water on your face.
8.    Don't drag your skin when you apply moisturizer.
9.    Keeping sun exposure to a minimum.
10. Eat an Organic healthy balanced diet free of red meat. ( I also take vitamin supplements and 1 tbsp hemp or fish oil every day).
11. Drink filtered water daily but I believe it's a myth that you need 8 full glasses. That is another story.
12. Treat coffee as a luxury. It dehydrates your body and is pretty toxic. Just have it as a treat, not every morning.

My Natural products are designed to give your skin cells the maximum level of nutrition and to be affordable.

If you haven't tried my Complete Kit, which has everything you need to take care of your skin, I say it is time. You all know me and you all know I am passionate about helping you with your skin. If you are not happy with my products, I will give you a full refund, no questions asked.  I am also here to answer any of your skin care concerns or questions.

To get everything done, us girls really have to stay focused and use our time wisely. Thank heaven for dish washers and washing machines!! When I was growing up in England we didn't have such luxuries. My Mother had to put the clothes into a small machine, and pour hot water in from the tap and then empty the water out when she was done. Then everything had to be pegged on a clothes line outside and then ironed because it was all so wrinkled. If it rained there was a mad dash to bring everything in before it got soaked. It could take days to dry. Heavens how lucky we are now.

Many of us suffer from darkness under the eye's and it is no wonder in this busy life. Many of us have full time jobs or businesses, and work hard keep our houses and families running. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, gardening and dashing here and there day after day.......It really is no wonder that most of us don't get enough sleep. I am sitting here writing this in the early morning while my husband snores like a train next to me. He gets on average about 3 more hours sleep a night than I do.

Dark circles are mostly hereditary and they can be worsened by lifestyle. Smoking, alcohol, caffeine, soda's and lack of sleep ( 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep is required every night ). The darkness is a result of trapped blood in tiny blood vessels very close to the surface of the skin. As we get older, the orbital fat layer decreases and with such thin skin under the eye, the trapped blood appears dark. Our skin also gets dryer as we age and we produce less oil, which contributes to wrinkles around the eye.

What can we do to get rid of those ugly dark circles? Well, of course avoid junk foods and smoking and coffee, soda and try to sleep more......You all know that.

You also must keep your under eye well moisturized. Use a moisturizer with plenty of anti-oxidants to help protect that vulnerable area and hyaulornic acid to boost hydration. Also, DMAE to firm, smooth and brighten the skin and reduce wrinkles. Make sure there are no harmful parabens or toxins in the ingredients.

We also have to gently stimulate microcirulation, to help break down the trapped blood. Use a natural peel once a week to improve blood flow to the optical nerves and get more oxygen to the tissues assisting with the detox process. Vitamin K also helps to promote blood cirulation, so eat foods rich in this, like broccoli, spinach, asparagus, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, garbanzo beans and yogurt.

It is the season for pumpkins, so you can make your own peel or cut slices of pumpkin and put them under your eyes for 2-3 minutes every day for a week. Cucumber slices can help to soothe and calm puffy eyes. They also contain silica, a substance that promotes a healthy completion. You can put cucumber slices on the circles under your eyes to reduce swelling. Cucumbers contain ascorbic acid and caffeic acid, which prevent water retention that causes swelling.

Good skin care starts with a good diet. As with our Skin Care Products, we want to include colorful, natural ingredients that contain lots of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Here are some easy ways of getting high quality nutrition onto your skin, and into your body:

Berries

 Berries are considered cancer fighting super foods. They are a powerhouse of vitamin C and anti-oxidants and contain phytochemicals ( they give berries their color ), which have been shown to help block cancer development. Berries are also low in sugar and calories, so eating a variety everyday is a wonderful way to help your skin and body. You can also make your own mask by blending a few berries with yogurt and honey. Leave it on your face and neck for 10-15 minutes while you eat your fruit.

Red Wine

 Red wine contains all those much needed anti-oxidants including resveratrol. Resveratrol,a flavnoid which comes from the skin of grapes, is thought to reduce blood clots,  lower "bad" cholesterol, lower the risk of diabetes and reduce 

the risks of Alzheimer's and lung cancer. European studies have found that drinking moderate amounts of red wine is better for you than other alcohols. If you have to drink, then this is the healthier choice. You can treat yourself to a 5oz glass with your bowl of berries and not feel guilty. Men can have twice as much!!

Green Tea

 Green and white tea have anti inflammatory qualities and contain poythenols, powerful anti-oxidants that have been shown to protect the skin from free radical damage. Make an extra pot of tea and save one to put into a spray bottle ( when it's cool ) to use as a toner.  This will not re balance your skin correctly like a toner, but it can be used as a nutritious, refreshing tonic to boost our skin's protective abilities.

Spirulina

Spirulina is another super food packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins such as A, K, many of the B's, calcium and minerals. It is a complete protein and contains all the essential amino acids. Taking spirulina can help boost your energy levels if you are feeling tired or mentally drained. Unlike having a coffee or sugar boost, it is helping your body by providing essential nutrients and is not like a drug to drain your adrenals. Just add a teaspoon to your smoothies or mix with a little juice and take a daily shot.

It is also another colorful food that you can put on your skin. Keep a small jar of powdered spirulina in the fridge and add it to your face masks. You can put it in your own home made Masks or the one's you buy from your professional.

What is safe to put on your skin?

We are constantly bombarded with misinformation about what we can and cannot safely put on our skin. It is very frustrating looking for products that will not increase our toxicity levels. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and it absorbs everything we put onto it.

The regulatory agencies in the US, such as the FDA, do not prevent toxic ingredients from ending up in our skin care products and we have to rely on our own research to ensure we are using safe ingredients. We have to read the labels ourselves to ensure the products we buy will not harm us in the long term.

Large Supermarkets and department stores tend to carry brands which are not natural and can contain high levels of preservatives, thickeners, fillers and fragrances. Purchasing from wholefood stores or reputable skincare professionals is the best option for ensuring you find Natural Skin Products.

It is not true that the more expensive the product, the higher the quality will be. It can be the case, but it is not always. Some of the higher quality ingredients, such as CoQ10 and Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe, can be expensive, but not as expensive as the products found in the high end stores that contain few to none of these effective ingredients. Read the labels to be sure that what you are buying is really going to work.

I am from Europe, and I am horrified at the ingredients that are still allowed in many of the products here in the US. There is a great deal of controversy with preservatives such as parabens, which have been linked to some forms of cancer. Yet still they are freely allowed in mainstream products. Synthetic Fragrance is another additive that has been found to cause sensitivities and allergies on the skin and is still found in many skin care products. These should be avoided as much as possible. There are many toxins we are not able to avoid, such as pollution, toxins in paint, carpets, clothes, cleaning fluids, cosmetics, foods, tap water and the air we breathe.  We can take steps to minimize the effects of these toxins. We can read the labels and educate ourselves, use air filters, water filters and we can control our toxicity levels by being aware and finding companies that provide us with cleaner alternatives. We can choose companies that honor our right to be healthy and live as organically as we can.

Natural skin Rescue can offer you a skin care line that you can be sure is safe and effective. We also guarantee that if you don't agree with us, we will give yu your money back, no questions asked.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flat Breads

We are what we eat and our diet reflects on our skin. Here is  a recipe made out of vegetables and cheese, instead of processed flour. I love how healthy and low calorie these bread flats are. I have them with my eggs in the morning instead of toast. You can also make pizza bases out of them by adding pizza toppings or eat them as they come. Adapted from Mom, What’s For Dinner?

1 cup cooked cauliflower

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ( optional but does help to hold flats together )

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp crushed garlic

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Cook cauliflower until tender, 3-5 mins. Blend in food processor into small breadcrumb size. In a bowl, beat the egg and stir in all the ingredients. Spoon out mix onto parchment paper and shape into circles. You can sprinkle some grated cheese of choice on top if you eat cheese.

Bake for 15-20 mins, 450 degrees.

We all know by now what we need to do to help keep our skin looking healthy and smooth and keep those wrinkles at bay. But what are some things not to do?

Here are a few things to try and remember.

1. Don't use hot water to wash your face. Just warm water. The extremes of hot and cold can cause damage to your blood vessels and leave your face with red patches.

2. Don't use a scrub on your face. Tiny microscopic scratches are left on your skin when you use a manual face scrub. Use a natural fruit peel and enjoy the added benefits of antioxidants, not scratches.

3. Don't use make-up with sunblock and think that it really helps. On average it will protect you for 10 mins a day. The tiny amounts found in the make up really don't help prevent UV damage at all. It's just another gimmick to get you to buy a product.

4. When you see 'cleanser and toner in one', remember, this is not possible. They are two totally different products and they do totally different things. The cleanser gets rid of the dirt and debris and the toner balances your skin back to the right PH level. They can't work correctly when smushed together in one bottle. This is just another marketing ploy to get you to buy a product.

5. Don't pull your skin or rub it. Use a gentle circular motion with your finger tips when applying creams. Your little fingers are the weakest, so use them on the sensitive thin skin around your eye.

6. Don't smoke if you can help it. If you do smoke, then use a vitamin C serum every morning and evening to help your skin repair the damage caused by smoking. Try not to suck on the cigarette with your lips pursed. Use a holder. You will get wrinkles around your lips.

7. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. Especially with big cosmetic companies with millions to spend on false advertizing. Just because they say it's safe and it works, doesn't mean it is or it does.

8. Don't eat sugar or wheat if you can avoid it. I know it's in everything, but you will notice a difference with your skin when they are not in your body.

9. Don't forget your neck and chest. We want them both to look as beautiful as the skin on your face.

10. Don't forget to do your skin care routine every day. If you don't stick to Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize morning and evening, your skin will not be as cared for as it should be.

11. Try to be consistent with your skin and if you only cleanse once a day, make it at night when you have oil and debris and pollution on your skin. Cleanse as soon as you can so you don't get too tired and forget to do it. Maybe at 5 or 6 when you get in at night.

12. Don't sleep on your face if you can help it.  As you get older your skin becomes thinner and lacks elasticity.  It gets harder for your skin to bounce back if you crush it into a pillow.

Perfect Pumpkin Peel

As we age, our skin can appear dull and lifeless and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear. This is partly due to the process of the skin’s natural shedding slowing down. If we want to rejuvenate the skin we have to follow a few, simple steps including using an exfoliant regularly. This will dissolve the dull, flakey, dead skin cells, helping to restore a youthful glow. It will also restore the skin’s elasticity and  promote collagen production.

Good skincare is simple. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize morning and evening and do a Peel and Mask once a week.

Peels are an essential part of your skin care routine. If the dead skin is allowed to build up, the products you put on your face can't be properly absorbed. Remove that dead layer and just see how much smoother your skin looks after just a few weeks. Consistent use of our Peel and Mask will even your skin tone and reduce the appearance of those ugly fine lines & wrinkles leaving your skin smoother and younger and fresher or your money back.

Our Ultimate Pumpkin Peel is a nutritional powerhouse and includes a multidude of ingredients, such as Pumpkin, Bilberry, Orange and Lemon extracts, Cinnamon, ginger and Nutmeg. 

It is full of the antioxidant beta-carotene, as well as such other cancer-fighting carotenoids as lutein and zeaxanthin. They will nourish and protect your skin while encouraging skin cell turnover. Our Peel is also rich in B vitamins, niacin, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and vitamins A and C.

The Vitamin C will Reduce the effects of free radical oxidation damage. It protects your skin from the sun and helps prevent pigment discoloration. It also Strengthens skin cells and promotes collagen production.

The Vitamin E has Powerful Anti Aging & Anti Cancer properties and Protects your skin from UV & free radical damage.

Vitamin A, another Antioxidant will lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and Support the immune system. It keeps your skin's mucous membrane cells healthy and regenerates healthy new skin cells. It will also lighten and even your skin tone and help the skin to maintain its moisture.

The Naturally present lactic, Citric, Malic Acids promote the exfoliation of the dead surface skin cells without disturbing healthy, living skin cells. This Peel promotes skin healing, protection and rejuvenation.

You can also try to make your own Pumpkin Peel at home. Here is an easy recipe for you to try.

Home Made Pumpkin Peel

1 cup pumpkin puree ( Fresh is best )

1 cup fresh plain yogurt

1 tbs. honey                                          

1 tbs. brewed green tea

1 tbs. carrot juice

1 tsp. grapeseed seed extract

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and Peel to your face with a brush, avoiding the eye area.

Leave on your face for 10 minutes and rinse thouroughly with warm water.

Apply a nourishing mask for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Tone and Moisturize.

Cooling Cucumbers are a great treat for the skin. They contain vitamin C and caffeic acid, both of which help soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling. They have an anti-inflammatory effect  when you put them on your eyes, helping to reduce puffiness.  It not only has a high water content, it comes out of the fridge cold. This means the cool temperature decreases the flow of blood to the space around your eyes and the water content will hydrate your skin. Together, the additional hydration and reduced blood flow can sooth the skin around your eyes and alleviate swelling.  

This may explain why cucumbers applied topically are often helpful for swollen eyes, burns and dermatitis.  So if you have been in the sun for a little too long, cucumbers will help to cool the sun burn.

Cucumbers are also a source of Vitamin A, C and K, wonderful nutients for your skin, so eat a couple of slices when you are preparing the fruit.

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest skin on your body and is prone to damage from swelling and stretching. This means you need to especially careful when applying your eye creams and moisturizers. Try and dab gently with your little finger tip ( the weakest finger ) rather than rubbing with one finger..

Hydrated, smoother skin around your eyes results in fewer lines and wrinkles in the future. Use a slice of cucumber on your eyes whenever you have time and whenever you do your weekly  Peel and Mask.

Make your own Cooling  Cucumber Toner

They have the same pH as the skin so they help restore the protective acid mantle–they also possess hydrating, nourishing and astringent properties. This is a mild, cooling toner you can make in your own kitchen and it keeps for a few weeks if you store it in the fridge.

1/2 cucumber with peel
3 tablespoons witch hazel
2 tablespoons distilled water

Blend all the ingredients until they are a fine pulp. Strain through a sieve to get all the solids out and transfer into a spray bottle. Use twice daily or whenever you feel like a refreshing spritz on your face.

Green tea has become very popular globally and is made from the leaves of Camellia sinens plant and originates from China. There have been many medical studies done, to determine the health benefits of drinking green tea but the human studies were mostly conducted in Asia.  Reasearchers consider this may have had an influence on the findings of the study. The evidence indicates that green tea drinkers may have a lower risk of developing heart disease and some cancers, however they drank 48oz of green tea per day.

Green tea has been shown to help with weight loss, lower your cholesterol, may prevent and reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis and can stave off dimentia. 

Green tea contains anti-oxidants EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), poly-phenols, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and some minerals such as chromium, manganese, selenium or zinc, and photochemical compounds   ( the thing that gives fruits and veggie their color ).

The Benefits of Green Tea for your skin

1. There are a number of studies that have indicated that green tea neutralizes the damaging effects of UV rays on human skin.The polyphenols found in green tea, are powerful antioxidants and they  free radical damage when applied to the skin.
2. The Catechins in green tea are anti-bacterial and they also help to regulate hormone activity, which can be very effective when treating acne.
   
   It will increase T cells in the body, boosting the immune system.
   
   Green tea may improve the elasticity of skin and help skin appear firmer.
3. A 2003 study conducted by the Medical College of Georgia proved that green tea was able to rejuvenate old skin cells.

more scientific research is needed to determine whether green tea will actually reduce wrinkles.

To make a protective, hydrating tonic of your own, steep 100g of green tea in half a liter of boiling distilled water.  Seive and spray on skin daily.

Facial Scrubs Can Damage Your Skin

Please don’t ever use a scrub on your face. It is a manual form of exfoliation and can leave tiny microscopic scratches on the surface of the skin. Why do it when you get a much more effective result from using a fruit peel?

There are many different types of scrubs out there and most of them use kernels or seeds that are finely ground, so they can scratch the skin off. This can lead to over exfoliation or result in breakouts. Many of the commercial scrubs leave a greasy feeling on your skin after you use them or can leave dry patches. They also need to add preservative so they can sit on the shelf and many of them contain toxins.

Using a fruit peel with natural ingredients, like in our Ultimate Pumpkin Peel has many benefits. Our Peel will nourish and protect your skin while encouraging skin cell turnover. The Vitamin C will Reduce the effects of free radical oxidation damage. It protects your skin from the sun and helps prevent pigment discoloration. It also Strengthens skin cells and promotes collagen production. The Vitamin E has Powerful Anti Aging & Anti Cancer properties and Protects your skin from UV & free radical damage. Naturally present lactic, Citric, Malic Acids promote the exfoliation of the surface skin cells.

Our Pumpkin Peel is a powerful natural repair therapy with the richest source of beta carotene and ascorbic acid. Vitamin A, another Antioxidant, will lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and Support the immune system. It keeps your skin's mucous membrane cells healthy and regenerates healthy new skin cells. It will also lighten and even your skin tone and help the skin to maintain its moisture. This Peel promotes skin healing, protection and rejuvenation.

Scratch your skin or protect and rejuvenate?

Just GIVE ME A CALL if you want to know how to use a Peel and Mask.

If you haven’t seen an Aesthetician for ages, don’t worry. All you need, is to have access to all the products an Aesthetician would use if you had spent $65 for an hour's facial. And you do. You know me, Monica, your very own personal virtual Aesthetician. I have high quality, effective products that are affordable and really last.

How about doing a Peel and Mask at home?

Things you will need:

• Cleanser
• Toner
• Moisturizer
• A clean hand towel
• Peel and mask ( you can make your own ) 
• Cucumber slices ( optional )
• Fan brush and head band ( optional )

Decide when you are going to take time to pamper yourself. Tell your husband or a friend to take the kids out and make sure everyone knows that you can’t be disturbed for the next hour. No cooking, cleaning, laundry or finding everyone’s stuff for them. You are off duty.

Find some scented candles and put them around the room. Light them just before you start your facial. If you have an oil burner, you can dig it out of the closet and dust it off. Find some relaxing music to listen to. Switch off your phone and make a conscious decision to do this for yourself. Have a glass of wine if you like. No distractions. This is your time.

1. Use a cleanser and wash your face with warm water, and dry your face with a fresh towel. Paint 1/2 teaspoon of peel onto your face. Put the cucumber on your eyes to cool and nourish them. Leave this on for 10 minutes and then rinse in warm water with a face sponge or just use your hands.

2. Paint 1/2 teaspoon of mask onto your face and neck and leave for 20-30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

3. Spray some toner all over your face and neck and apply moisturizer.

Home facials will exfoliate the dead skin cells and stimulate the regrowth of the new skin much more rapidly than normal. We want to promote new skin cells so our skin looks smooth and fresh and younger. Moisturize your face and neck. You have helped your skin and hopefully you are in a calm and happy place now. Finish that wine and indulge yourself with a little chocolate. These are the times we should be having that little treat. It’s hard being a woman today with all the demands of family and working, so go ahead and treat yourself to a little break every week. You can even do it at the same time if that’s possible for you. You will find plenty of reasons not to do it, but how about all of those reason to do it!!

Why don't the products from the store give you the results you want? 

Just because a skin product you buy from the store may cost a lot, it doesn't mean they are any better than the cheaper ones. I have looked at many of them in detail and often there is no correlation between high quality and high price. It's just that the brand names we all know charge much more to pay for expensive marketing campagnes and fancy packaging.

The products you buy in the store are full of inactive ingredients like fillers, thickeners and preservatives. This is one reason why they don't always work. Your skin needs active ingredients, such as Hyaulonic Acid, Aloe Vitamins A, E, C and D, Anti-Oxidants, and of course natural plants, fruits and herbs. Stay away from long names you can't pronounce.

When you are buying skin products, look for products with lots of healthy, natural ingredients and ones you recognize. If the ingredients look like they were created in a lab and there are lots of really long names you can't pronounce, they won't absorb into your skin efficiently and they can be toxic. Oil of Olay is a company we all know and see on TV every day. Their advertising is very sophisticated and the women they choose for their commercials always look flawless.

Here is the ingredients in Oil of Olay Age Defying Day Cream:    WATER/EAU, GLYCERIN, ISOHEXADECANE, NIACINAMIDE, PPG-15 STEARYL ETHER, DIMETHICONE, ISOPROPYL ISOSTEARATE, PANTHENOL, LAMINARIA SACCHARINA EXTRACT, GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, STEARYL DIMETHICONE, DIMETHICONOL, SORBITAN STEARATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, PEG-100 STEARATE, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETYL ALCOHOL, STEARYL ALCOHOL, SODIUM ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, POLYETHYLENE, PALMITIC ACID, STEARIC ACID, MYRISTIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, FRAGRANCE/PARFUM, BLUE 1. (CORN) SILK EXTRACT, VIOLA ODORATA FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT, PUNICA GRANATUM EXTRACT, DMDM HYDANTOIN, RED 4.

Not everyone is as concerned with toxins as I am but how many of these ingredients do you recognize? How many look natural and not like they were made in lab? We have all heard the stories about Parabens and the link to breast cancer. Well this product has 3 Parabens. People buy this product because they have great advertising and they are familiar to us.

I would love to hear from anyone who uses this cream and would like to give me their opinion about it.

I like to think that I am very different from these companies. I will not try to sell you something you don't need and I am all about great skin care results. If you want the products to work for you, buy professional quality and do a fruit peel every week. Usually to get professional quality, you must visit an Aesthetician and pay for a facial and most people have to pay high prices for these products. You can now get them from me, a licensed Aesthetican, and I will give you a Free Consultation.

 Why do you need to do a peel and mask?

Good skincare is simple. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize morning and evening and do a Peel and Mask once a week to remove the dead skin cells.

Peels are an essential part of your skin care routine. If the dead skin is allowed to build up, the products you put on your face can't be properly absorbed. Remove that dead layer and just see how much smoother your skin looks after just a few weeks.

Doing a peel also helps to prevent skin cancers. If you use a natural fruit based peel you will adding a mulitude of anti-oxidants to your skin and eat away at the old, dead skin cells. Fruit peels have natural fruit acids to eat away at the dead skin, such as Malic acid (apples), lactic acid ( milk, sour cream, blackberries, tomatoes), tartaric acid (grapes, avocados), glycolic ( blueberries, cherries, strawberries ). Chemical peels do more harm than good and only leave your skin looking good after a great deal of pain and toxicity. Then your skin is righ  back to where it was after 6 months.

Doing a peel and mask weekly will keep your skin looking as if you have just had a facial all the time. It will nourish and protect your skin and leave it fresh and younger looking.

Our Charcoal Creme Crème Masque contains Hyauronic Acid and is highly moisturizing, while using charcoal to gently detoxify your skin. It is packed with nutrients and Anti-oxidants to nourish and protect your skin and the charcoal will pull out the toxins that have built up over the years.  Consistent use of our Mask will even your skin tone and reduce the appearance of those ugly fine lines & wrinkles leaving your skin smoother and younger and fresher or your money back.

Why do we even need to bother using a toner?

Have you noticed your pores becoming larger or more blocked? If you don't use a Toner, your skin will never be correctly balanced. Your skin will have to fight for 8 hours to get back to the correct PH balance after cleansing, and this causes unnecessary cellular stress. Your pores will pump out more oil than is really required because your sebacious glands are being sent the wrong message.

Without a toner your skin will be out of balance and you won't have the protective barrier you need to keep your skin from aging. Toning is such an easy step. One or two quick sprays onto your face and you are done. If you use our Toner, not only will your skin be beautifully re-balanced, but it will be nourished and protected all day. Any skin care routine is incomplete without a Toner to protect and balance the skin. Toning is critical, although most people don't even realize it's importance. Use our balancing toner for one week and see the difference.

Our Citrus Splash Toner has powerful Antioxidant abilities, it improves collagen production, balances and nourishes the skin, assist with healing and cell rejuvenation and protects against environmental damage. It also contains Organic Aloe juice, to Improve skin hydration and repair cell damage and prevents immune suppression caused by UVB.
