    Natural Organic Skincare Verses Chemical Based Products

    I used 15 products just this morning and I didn’t even put on any make-up! By the time I showered, used my body wash, shaving cream, shampoo, conditioner and face wash – I was absolutely covered with sweet smelling, germ-killing, skin-softening chemicals – four to be exact. And, really, that was just the beginning! I got out of the shower, wiped some toner across my face and put some cream over a sneaky zit that I could just tell was itching to escape.

    I slathered my legs with lotion, moisturized my face (SPF 15!), and de-frizzed my curls (that’s 3 products there!). I, then, wiped on my favourite deodorant, brushed my teeth, put on some chap stick and BAM! Just like that I was 15 cosmetics deep into my chemical-filled day!

    Women today are so confused when they go to buy skincare products. There is so many products available today at beauty salon, departments stores & online.

    What is best, the one advertised on TV by a well known celebrate or shopping centre X Brand or do we go Natural & Organic will it give RESULTS?? Are the products you use tested on animals (if you saw the pictures of trauma these animals go through you would STOP using those products) more information at end of blog.

  • Smooth skin great canvas for make-up

    It is vital to have smooth skin when applying make-up. We get a build up of dead skin cells every month and when applying foundation or tinted moisturiser the skin feels dry and the canvas looks dull.
    Glycolic Acids have caused a sensation recently as anti-wrinkle active ingredients, glycolilc can loosen the intercellular ‘glue’, allowing new cells to come through more rapidly and stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin.

    Glycolic acids help remove the surface skin cells, improving skin texture and color. Skin is left feeling plump and glowing as the new skin layers are revealed.
    One of the key ingredients is “Glycolic derived from sugar cane”. The Foaming Cleanser is 5%, sugar cane is the natural source for glycolic.

    If you want a smooth looking skin use a product that is made from sugar cane, this has the smallest molecule of all the glycolic acids, there is also fruit and milk derived glycolic.

  • Foaming Cleanser and the benefits

  • Sugarcane the key to younger skin

    The Secret to Youthful skin is found in sugarcane.

    As we age our skin starts to look dull, firmness disappears, the youthful glow is diminishing. Why does this happen and how can we look fabulous in our 30’s, 40’s and 50’s?

    No need for expensive salon treatments find a skincare range high in Glycolic derived from sugarcane.

    Glycolic Acids have caused a sensation recently as anti-wrinkle active ingredients. They loosen the intercellular ‘glue’, allowing new cells to come through more rapidly and stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. The visible effect is a skin which looks fresher and younger. Glycolic acids help remove the surface skin cells, improving skin texture and colour. Skin is left feeling plump and glowing as the new skin layers are revealed.

    Despite its modern chemical name, the beneficial effects of Glycolic acids have been used for centuries. Cleopatra use to have her legendary milk baths and tales of woman using red wine baths to keep their skin youthful.
    Our facial skin is made up of three layers the epidermis (what we see), dermis (the middle layer) and subcutaneous layer (the third layer). Our skin, due to shedding of skin cells, replaces itself every 7 years. Your skin sheds every 28-45 days, rejuvenating the epidermis and allowing the next generation of skin cells to come forward. We shed about 40 lbs of skin in a lifetime! The dead skin needs to be slough off to allow the new cells to the top.
    What happens is we get a BUILD UP of DEAD SKIN CELLS this will make our skin look tired, uneven tone and fine wrinkles may appear. With young skin types they get blocked pores that forms pimples and scar tissue.
    When buying a Glycolic skincare product check the levels of ACTIVE ingredient. If the percentage of glycolic is not on the label don’t waste your money.

    Door of Youth Skincare is RICH in Glycolic. The Foaming Cleanser is 5% AHA, Skin Renewal Serum 12.5 % and Enrich Day Cream with Hyaluronic Acid gives a younger glow and tone to skin.

  • How to get whiter teeth with coconut oil

    The latest teeth-whitening trend being embraced by Hollywood’s A-list – including Lauren Conrad, Shailene Woodley, and Gwyneth Paltrow – is called oil pulling. How strange does this sound? Many of my friends have done it and they are raving about the benefits.

    Woman teeth

    What is oil pulling?

    Oil pulling is a method of putting a tablespoon of cold-pressed coconut oil in your mouth and swishing it around for 15 to 20 minutes while pushing and pulling the oil between your teeth. You then spit the oil into the bin (not the sink or toilet as it can clog) and brush your teeth as normal.

    What are the benefits?

    Oil pulling works to reduce the amount of harmful bacteria in your mouth, reduce plaque and gingivitis, improve bad breath, whiten teeth, and make teeth appear more shiny and healthy-looking.

    Does it work?

    Well give it a go for 2 weeks and let us know if it works for you.
