Since ancient times Aloe has been used in every variety of preparation to heal, beautify, moisturize and nourish the skin. There are references, both historical and apocryphal, that tell of the healing powers of Aloe when applied to wounds, cuts, abrasions and a variety of skin disease, not to mention common dry and flaky skin. Aloe’s name, “The Miracle Healing Plant,” is well founded in ancient, biblical and modern times.
One of the recent rediscoveries was the inner leaf gel of the Aloe plant. Aloe is a succulent, perennial plant. Its lance shaped and spiny green leaves, growing in rosette-like formation, reach a length of 30 inches and up to 3 lbs. in weight. The inner central zone produces the extract or gel to which ancient Egyptian Queens attributed their beauty and irresistible charm.
Our daytime moisturizers are always light, never greasy, and offer advanced moisture care for face, neck and eye area.
Most skin care programs add oils to dry skin, and alcohol or other drying agents to oily skin. Both dry and oily skin types need moisture – not oils or drying alcohols. When you apply oily products to dry skin, your skin sends a message to the brain that it needs to slow down your body’s natural oil production. It becomes a vicious cycle; the more oil you apply, the more dry your skin becomes. Likewise, applying drying alcohol products to oily skin sends a message to the brain that the skin needs more oil, and the cycles continue.
Our Cleansing, Toning and Masking products were developed to “normalize” your skin type, rather than to just have you be content with dry, oily, or combination skin. As the largest eliminating organ of the body, you want your internal pressure system to be able to rid itself of the waste material through your pores, and not have to work through a film of soap or clogged pores that slow down that pressure system.
Our goal is to normalize all skin types: Through oil-free cleansing twice a day, and a regular masking schedule of three times a week, dry skin will gradually become more moist, and oily skin will shut down the oils and become less oily. Your pressure system will regain normalcy, and you will have “normalized” your skin. Once you reach your goal, masking once a week should maintain the proper moisture level.
