We hope you enjoy our top ten natural beauty tips and, as always, if you have questions just leave us a comment or contact us at sevanibeauty.com.  We’re always happy to help!

1. Incorporate Raw, Organic Fruits and Veggies Into Your Diet

Eat a salad a day.  Enjoy a special drink like our beauty smoothie as your new breakfast, or, find another way that works for you to incorporate fresh organic fruits and veggies into your diet.  It’s been proven that the more raw organic foods you eat the more your body can take advantage of all the benefits these foods offer resulting in a healthier overall body – including your skin!

2. Choose Only Certified Cruelty Free Products

With the news a few weeks ago that many major beauty brands thought to have previously ceased animal testing in order to sell in China it makes it even more important to choose cruelty free products than ever before.  There is no reason for animal testing and you should never support a company with your hard earned money that tests its products and/or ingredients on our animal brothers and sisters.

3. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repurpose Packaging

And, choose products and companies, like Sevani, that make this easy for you.  Afterall, we chose amber glass as the packaging method for our natural beauty products in part because of how easy it is to repurpose, reuse, and recycle.  Yes, glass is easier to recyle and uses less chemicals to create!

4. Consider Vegan Diets

The vegan diet has been proven to help improve health and wellness in many ways, including reducing hormonal acne challenges and more.  Even reducing the amount of high fat dairy you eat for example can make a big difference in the appearance of your skin if you’re not ready to go totally vegan.   Vegan beauty products, clothing, shoes, and more are important to consider as well.

5. Natural Sources For Ingredients Are More Powerful And Earth Friendly

Utilize naturally sourced ingredients such as mushroom derived Hyaluronic Acid or Goji Berries for Vitamin C.  You’ll find these natural ingredients offer many more benefits for your skin and, are more easily absorbed and utilized by your body than their chemically derived counter parts.  Plus, your kin Absorbs Everything so consider that as well when you’re reading that ingredient list.

6. Don’t Worry Be Happy

Positive outlook = less stress and increased inner peace =healthy glow.  Seems so simple doesn’t it – but it’s true, it works and, it just feels better!  So, don’t worry, be happy and naturally beautiful.

7. Avoid Chemical Fragrances

Chemical fragrances are in many different personal care and beauty products but, they’re not required to inform you what these “fragrances” even are.  Generally, they’re generated by chemicals, and, as we said, natural is better – this goes for fragrances too.  Aromatherapy and essential oils are much safer and actually beneficial fragrances.

So, just because a product has a scent doesn’t mean it’s “bad” but, be sure to read the label to find out what is making that smell.  Most companies, like Sevani, that use only essential oils and plant extracts that end up giving the products their scents are happy to disclose exactly what is making those smells, whereas those products based on chemical fragrances will often just be labeled with “fragrance” or even “natural fragrance”.

8. Use Natural Cleaning Products

What do cleaning products have to do with natural beauty? A LOT!  When you clean, even if you’re using rubber gloves, your skin, particularly that on your face, is exposed to the mist and off sprays of the products you’re using.  Chose natural products to protect your skin and the earth!

9. Exercise Regularly

Feeling down, get moving.  Whether you enjoy Gardening, hiking, walking the dog, kayaking, yoga, swimming, or just goofing around with the kids in the yard, when you get outside and exercise it improves mood.  Plus exercise whether indoors or out is essential for healthy skin.

10. Enjoy Daily Meditation For Inner And Outer Beauty

Bringing daily meditation into your routine will not only give you amazing natural beauty benefits, but, your entire mind, body and soul will thank you.  Feeling like you can’t fit one more thing into your hectic day?  Even if you meditate for just 15 min a day you’ll reap these rewards!

While adopting all ten of these natural beauty tips would be ideal, following even some of these tips will help you reduce toxins both in your own body as well as in the earth, save innocent animals, and minimize the impact keeping your skin looking great has on the earth.  Start today and make a difference tomorrow!

Also, the Ayurvedic medical system maintains that within each of us there exists three constitutional doshas (or types) -  Vatta, Pitta, and Kapha.  Each person is made up of these three doshas, but, to varying degrees.  Generally, one of the Ayurvedic doshas is usually dominant in each individual and this is what will dictate the path toward this balance for all of us.

Luckily for us, mother nature has offered up many different natural ingredients that can support us as we work to keep ourselves in balance.  Some of the best and most helpful natural beauty ingredients according to Ayurvedic medicine include:

Neem

Neem Seed Oil is an incredibly beneficial plant rich in essential fatty acids and glyceride and can be used in many ways to heal the body.  With regard to the skin, Neem is excellent for treating and healing topical skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and acne.  Neem is fantastic for treating burns too.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a super fruit.  It offers exceptional nutrient value along with Vitamin C and natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids that gently exfoliate dead skin cells resulting in a youthful glow.  Pomegranate also offers amazing antioxidant properties and actually contains age-defying ellagic acid; a hard to find and powerful antioxidant.

Amalaki

Also known as Emblica, Amla and Indian Gooseberry, Amalaki is one of the richest sources of natural Vitamin C around. The main constituents of the berry include ascorbic acid, essential fatty acids, bioflavonoids, polyphenols, B vitamins, calcium, potassium, iron, tannins, and pectin. This special union of such powerful, nutritive ingredients allows the Amalaki berry to offer beauty benefits like cell rejuvenation, reduction of pigment, and natural antioxidant protection.

Adult acne can be a challenge since many treatments on the market are very harsh and dry out skin causing redness, irritation, and, in the end, actually end up making the acne worse.

In order to understand why so many commercial acne treatments have it wrong, its important to understand just what acne is…

Acne is an inflammation and accumulation of dead skin cells, bacteria and sebum (the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in your skin).  It begins deep within your skin in the dermis in the hair follicle. When your follicle becomes infected with this skin cell, bacteira, sebum goop, a zit (or whitehead) appears.

Your acne may also surface in the form of cystic acne which can be very painful. Or, a black head; a pimple that has not yet become infected and is simply a black plug in the pore.

Many people think that acne is caused by a lack of hygiene but actually, washing your face too often can aggravate acne. Over washing actually opens up the pustules and spreads the bacteria to other parts of your face. We recommend gentle cleansing and no scrubbing because it does the same thing.  And, do not pick at your face to avoid further infection, spread of bacteria, and scarring.

Now that we understand what acne is, we can treat it more effectively.  Commercial acne treatments often strip the skin of ALL oil on their quest to reduce zits, but, our bodies do not respond well to this type of treatment.  At first it may seem like it, but, when your body realizes the skin has been stripped of its oils and sebum by these harsh cleansers, it rushes to make more.  And, because our bodies are really smart – they begin making extra too to avoid future shortages.  Guess what that does.  Extra oil and sebum makes extra acne.

When you use natural beauty products like we make here at Sevani though that utilize organic oils, gentle botanicals and fruit extracts, only the finest totally natural preservative available, and that are free of any harsh chemicals, pore clogging waxes or synthetic ingredients, you’ll find that your body is able to keep a natural balance and effectively reduce, and often even eliminate the cycle of acne.

Don’t take our word for it though – try Sevani today and see how our products can help you effectively treat acne naturally!  Unlike when you use those harsh commercial acne treatments, you’ll see a difference that’s real, that will last, and most importantly, will leave you acne free.

The products we’ve included in this natural skin care system are filled with ingredients that help treat inflammation, redness, and blemishes as well as those that support healthy, youthful looking skin.  We’ve chosen strictly natural forms of these ingredients only and, as a result, those with sensitive skin can now also enjoy the major benefits of ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids for example that would normally be contraindicated for those with sensitive skin.

In fact, its our meticulous focus on using only natural, non toxic skin care ingredients that makes Sevani so different than other beauty brands.

Formulated with cutting-edge cosmeceuticals and botanicals Sevani non toxic skin care products are totally 100% natural.  They’re free of alcohol, artificial ingredients, and chemical preservatives of any kind so there’s nothing to irritate sensitive skin.  This allows skin to break the cycle of inflammation, heal, and look its best!

We’ve got a wide variety of spectacular non toxic beauty products, but here is our natural skin care system that offers the best, most complete care for those with Rosacea, Eczema, and other skin sensitivities.  The Sevani sensitive skin care system includes...
