The truth is many of us aren’t eating enough calcium rich foods.

We all know calcium is important for your bones, and plays a role in calming the nervous system. What role does it play in the health of your skin? Calcium is the most common mineral in the human body and in regards to skin. A deficiency can display itself in itching, dryness, premature wrinkling, and an increased tendency to develop skin cancers. Also, when there is a calcium deficiency, your body will take calcium from your bones and teeth because it is needed in other body processes. Calcium is important in the function of cell turnover and regulation of the protective lipid barrier. So, skin that can shed and renew itself and maintain an appropriate lipid level is another of the calcium skin benefits. Anyone suffering from dry, itchy skin should consider increasing calcium during cold, dry winter months to benefit from the protective barrier calcium can produce in the upper epidermal tissues. Although calcium is not an antioxidant by itself, it is ...

Wake up your dull skin

Wake up your dull skin.  Products with vitamin C, licorice root, and other antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients help to deliver nutrients to brighten your skin. Hydroquinone can work well in fighting discoloration, but it has a high absorption rate into the skin. It also has carcinogenic properties. Instead try serums with niacinamide, kojic acid, and licorice extract that work best for pigment fighting. A great product to give your skin a glow is our Lightening Rejuvenating Crème . This non-hydroquinone skin lightening cream will help to reduce hyper-pigmentation, brown spots and skin discoloration caused by sun and environmental damage. Glycolic acid exfoliates the top of the skin to allow the extra ingredients of arbutin, licorice, niacinamide, and mulberry to work synergistically to gently reduce pigmentary problems and brighten the skin for an overall glow.

Don't Let The Cold Temperatures Get The Best Of You.

Winter's cold temperatures can sometimes give your skin a rosy flush look, but when that redness  turns into dry, inflamed splotchy skin, that is not cute. You need to protect your skin from the frigid temperatures, harsh wind, loss of humidity and indoor heating. First, start off by calming your skin.  Licorice extract helps to control redness and flushing.  Licorice's main component, glycyrrhizanate, has been proven time and again to be an effective anti-inflammatory and moisturizer.  It also has the ability to brighten and lighten the skin and prevent further hyper-pigmentation. To help in the repair, hydrate your skin internally and externally. When it comes to hydration, use  moisture-rich cream that contains emollients like ceramides to boost the skin’s natural barrier and seal in moisture. Shea butter, olive oil and almond oil are other effective natural emollients.  Make sure to avoid products with fragrance, alcohol, witch hazel, menthol, peppe...
