What Is Bentonite Clay? Bentonite clay is a natural healing clay comprised of minerals and it’s formed from natural volcanic ash, which was originally discovered near Fort Benton , Wyoming .

What is Acne? Photo credit: htp//www.dermmadica.ca Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the oil-secreting glands in the skin are clogged and become inflamed or infected.  If you’ve never taken time to understand why you breakout, below are basic facts that will help you understand acne, to best effectively fight them.  1. There are 5 main known causes of acne:  a. Excessive production of oil by the sebaceous gland (or oil producing gland) of the skin  b. Hormonal imbalance  c. Pore build-up based on excessive shedding of dead skin cells d. Irritations or reactions from make-up, food allergies and medication  e. Bacteria build-up in the pore  2. Not all “acnes” are the same. There are different categories of acne based on their severity, location, and size, and they should be treated accordingly. If you are suffering from the mild forms of acne such as blackheads and white-heads, topical treatments are you best bet f

What is sunscreen?  A cream or lotion rubbed onto the skin to protect it from the sun. An active ingredient in creams, lotions and other preparations for skin.      What sunscreen should I use? 1. Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays). 2. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 or greater. 3. Water resistance. A sunscreen that offers the above helps to protect your skin from sunburn, early skin aging, and skin cancer. However, sunscreen alone cannot fully protect you. Also recommend that you seek shade when your shadow is shorter than you are and protect your skin by wearing long sleeves, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses whenever possible.   Who needs sunscreen?   Everyone. People of all skin colours get skin cancer. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in more than 2 million people are diagnosed annually. Many of these skin cancers could have been prevented with protection from the sun’s rays.   When should I use sunscreen?  Every day . The sun e

  ENZYMES !!!!!!!!!!  Do you want your skin to glow on a daily basis ?  A good home care regimen with monthly enzymatic facials will do the trick . As we age, the natural exfoliation slows down , which leads to a build up of dead skin cells . We see this built up dead layer as fine lines , uneven skin tone and even acne in some cases. Natural fruit enzymes enhance the natural exfoliation process , revealing fresh and healthy skin cells . Fruit contains natural enzymes, and is safe to use on most skin types . Fruit enzymes also deliver antioxidants to skin . Enzymatic fruits , such as papaya and pumpkin , provide both antioxidant nutrition and exfoliation to the skin when mixed with other fruits such as lemon , pomegranate , blueberry and kiwi . Enzymes are also very safe to use . When the enzymes “digest” or dissolve the topmost layer of the epidermis (un-like all other methods such as glycolic acid peels, dermabra-sion or laser resurfacing), there is no induced heat. Hence , th

It is common to use chemical peels to get rid of many skin flaws including aging signs .  However, some people don’t research enough and use a peel that shouldn’t be used to treat the given conditions .  If you know that a specific peel can do the job satisfactorily , you will be in a better position to go for the right peel, which may be a light or gentle peel that won’t keep you worrying for side effects or risks of any complications .  What Is a Lactic Acid Peel ?  A lactic acid peel is a type of chemical peel used as a cosmetic skin rejuvenation treatment. Purpose - Like all chemical peels , a lactic acid peel is supposed to deliver smoother, softer, and younger-looking skin. Multiple treatments help diminish fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation (brown spots) .  Features - Lactic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid, is derived from sour milk and is used for the mildest, most gentle of chemical peels . A lactic acid peel works like a glycolic acid peel, but it is much more g
