Moroccon Argan Oil Is AMAZING – But Only If Its Pure and Organic!

Organic Argan Tree with Fruit used to make Argan OilArgan oil has become a very popular beauty ingredient recently in the western world.  Its been used in Morocco, the Argan tree’s native region, for generations though.

Understandably so!  Argan oil is simply filled with impressive ingredients including essential fatty acids, carotenes, vitaman E, phenols, squalene, and phenolic acid.  Not only that, this natural oil is thinner and lighter than other vegetable oils so it absorbs quickly and without feeling greasy at all.

Moroccon Argan oil is great for any skin type and has properties to help give skin a smoother appearance, balance oil production, increase elasticity, reduce inflammation, and fight free radicals.  Its great for hair too and can smooth frizzies, restore dried split ends and protect hair from sun damage.

With qualities like these coupled with the fact that the Argan tree only grows in a small zone of the world, Argan oil is one of the rarest essential oils in the world!

As a result, like most rare items, pure, organic Argan Oil is quite expensive.  Many companies have decided to try and get around that though.

They offer really low prices but, unfortunately, most of the commercial Argan oils available are often formulated with cheaper oils, toxic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and we’ve even found some that included dimethicone and other silicones in order to  “cut” or stretch the Argan oil and thereby lower the cost.

Now, I’m all for affordable but not at the expense of quality.  When these extra ingredients are added to the Argan oil they actually work to negate its natural qualities and can further dehydrate your skin and hair instead of feed and moisturize it.  Not to mention some of these “extra” ingredients are known toxins and take a product that started as a gift from a miraculous plant and turn it into something that when used could actually cause issues as opposed to cure them.   At this point too, after the additives have been introduced, the argan oil is not really an oil at all anymore, it’s technically considered a serum, which is quite different in effect than a pure oil.

In order to protect yourself and enjoy all the major benefits of the real McCoy – be sure to get only Pure, Organic Argan oil!  You can verify purity by  texture and aroma; natural Argan Nut Oil has a faint nutty aroma.  Also, look for natural beauty products that use certified organic Argan oil so you can be sure these formulations aren’t based on an impure product.

While you may notice quite a difference in price for organic Argan oil when compared to these other additive filled versions – because of the extremely high quality of this oil in its pure state, a little organic Moroccon Argan oil goes a Looooonnnnggg way.  This makes it not all that pricey after all!

Remember too, you’re not only getting a better product, when you choose pure, natural Argan oil, you’re making sure that all those toxins and chemicals stay out of your body and out of the environment!  Plus you’ll get to fully enjoy all the wonderful gifts this special oil has to offer.

Antioxidants Offer Amazing Anti Aging Support!

antioxidants are anti agingFree radicals are everywhere, including the air we breathe.  What do free radicals have to do with your skin?  Everything!

You see, free radicals are unstable compounds that attack human cells and DNA, which contributes to and accelerate the aging process increasing the prominence of signs of aging in skin such as wrinkles, dry skin, dark circles under eyes, etc.

This is where Antioxidants come in.  Antioxidants essentially work as free radical scavengers to help prevent damage and even repair cells the free radicals have already gotten to.

Where can you get Antioxidants?

Eating lots of fresh organic fruits and vegetables is an excellent way to help reduce and even prevent free radical damage.

While the foods work on the inside and protect  your entire body from free radical damage, you can directly affect free damage to your skin by using natural skin care products that utilize ingredients that include antioxidants.  For example ingredients like Acai Berry, Amalaki Fruit, Vitamin E, Argan Oil,  Rosemary Oil Extract, Vitamin C Ester, Sea Buckthorn Berries, and more offer all the benefits of antioxidants in natural, easily absorbed formulas.!

By applying them directly to skin the antioxidants in skin care products can deeply penetrate underneath to strengthen skin cells and keep them healthy. Antioxidants in skin care products can improve the health and appearance of skin, as well as prevent accelerated aging by firming, plumping and reducing inflammation in the skin.

Antioxidants also have been found to  reduce the appearance of scar tissue.  Many types of antioxidants, including those found in aloe and an onion extract called allium, increase blood flow to scar tissue thereby minimizing the look of the scars and helping the newly formed skin blend in more easily.

In addition, the fact that antioxidants can stimulate blood flow and encourage the growth of new cells make them highly effective in improving the health and appearance of skin that’s been damaged by the sun.

I think you can agree, it’s time to be sure you’re including antioxidants in your diet, and in your day and night time skin care routine so you too can benefit from all the anti aging power and support hey give your body and your skin!

Having A Night Time Skin Care Routine Is A MUST – Find Out Why

moon for night time skin care routineMany find washing, toning and moisturizing their skin in the morning is really no trouble.  They’re getting ready for the day anyway and adding in these steps to reap the benefits of their chosen skin care system fits in pretty seamlessly.  Night time skin care though is a different story.

Dragging yourself to the sink for a cleanse after nearly passing out on the couch watching TV, reading your favorite book – or whatever it is you do to unwind after a long busy day isn’t nearly as easy as it is to care for your skin in the morning.  All you wanna do is head to bed and crash, but, a proper night time skin care routine is a MUST if you want to have healthy, radiant skin.

Using your skin care products twice a day is essential to get the maximum benefits from the ingredients your using – Plain and Simple!

Not to mention that as you go through your day you sweat, you come into contact with all kinds of bacteria and dirt, and goodness knows what else; and its all on your face!  Most of the rest of your body is clothed or protected in some way but your face, along with your hands are exposed to pretty much everything.  No one wants to go to bed with that gunk on their body right!  And of course, it’s really nasty for your skin too because instead of washing that dirt off, its left to penetrate and clog your pores as you sleep.

The same is true for make up.  If you let it sit on your face all day and night your make up will clog your pores and lead to acne and often other skin issues.

Most importantly though, your skin care products have the opportunity to work much more effectively when used at night simply because all you do at night is sleep.  You’re not rubbing your face, pushing your phone up to it, or any number of other things you do during the day that slowly washes off your skin care products.  Instead, the formulations and  ingredients you use are able to stay on your skin longer and, as a result,  work even better than they’re able to during the day.

If you want your skin to be radiant and youthful looking, using your skin care system both day and night is essential and the only way to get the best results from the products you’re using.

You Deserve “Ageless Eyes” And Sevani 100% Natural Skin Care Products Will Deliver

Some say the eyes are the window to your soul.  Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t but, they certainly are a focal point of the face and we all, understandably, want them to look fabulous.

The skin around the eyes is very delicate though and ages quite rapidly.  The skin there is thinner and, because of the way the muscles in the face work, the eyes are one of the main places “expression lines” develop.  None of this is working in our favor as move toward our goal of ageless eyes.  Neither does stress, lack of sleep, dehydration and many other factors.

What you can do to help your eyes shine is use non toxic skin care products formulated specially for the unique skin around your eyes; and that’s exactly what Sevani has to offer.  We have developed two wonderful, 100% natural skin care products specifically for helping you keep the skin around your eyes looking its best.

Sevani Eye Repair Age Defying Eye Creme

Sevani’s Age Defying Eye Cream utilizes powerful peptides and botanicals to work to reduce lines, wrinkles, and the puffiness the under eye area in particular is prone to.

CoQ10, caffeine, and other ingredients improve dark circles and protect the skin from exhibiting signs of stress.

Vitamin A and natural hyaluronic acid improve the elasticity of the skin to dramatically repair and renew your eyes.

While Neem and Neroli tighten and protect this delicate skin.

 

Ageless Eyes Revitalizing Eye Serum

Sevani Ageless Eyes Eye Repair Serum BottleThis all natural professional grade eye serum is recommended to hydrate and renew the eyes.  Ageless Eyes can be used alone daily or under a creme; either way, your eyes will experience the power of 100% natural ingredients.

A unique blend of antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich oils like organic Argan Oil and Pomegranate combined with Evening Primrose oil that reduces puffiness and dark circles, as well as Neroli and Rose Hip Seed which offer anti aging and regenerative properties to create a fabulous base filled with beneficial properties.

These and other natural ingredients are then combined with with a synergistic blend of essential oils including Frankincense and Rose Geranium which offer nourishment and strength to the capillaries and the entire skin system around the eyes as well.

Also, as a bonus, not only is Ageless Eyes great for your eyes, it helps decrease vertical lip lines and dehydrated lips as well!

When using either of these products, be sure to always apply them using the tip of your ring finger to avoid putting too much pressure on your eye area; which can cause pulling of the skin and actually cause the skin around the eye to age even faster. Then dab in a circular motion until all of the creme or serum has been absorbed.

And remember, a little of these highly effective formulations goes a long way!

The House of Skin: Repair and Renew Your Exterior In A Few Simple Steps!

italian roof shingles like skin careMany new clients come in for a skin care service expecting great results in an hour long treatment.   Upon consultation many say they want to improve texture, skin tone and/or prevent aging.   While there are many exceptional benefits from a customized facial treatment, the use of quality skin care products on a daily basis is also essential to maintaining proper skin health and enabling your skin to do it’s job well.

Often I ask my clients “if your roof leaks would you repair it”?  The answer is always “yes”.

Well, you’ve got to do the same for your skin.

The body is considered by many to be the house of the soul, and your skin acts as the roof and siding of this sacred house. Just as these exterior pieces protect the traditional house and it’s contents from the harsh environment outside, our skin is designed to protect everything that’s “inside” our entire body!

To maintain the integrity of a home we have to often replace some shingles, right?  This the same as needing to turn over newer, healthy skin cells.  Now, we don’t sand shingles as that could make the wood underneath crack and leak with improper pressure.  The same is true for your skin.

Instead, we recommend a very mild means of naturally replenishing skin cells (shingles) like gentle organic fruit acids, enzymes, and regenerative vitamins so as to not scratch and abrade which can cause leaking capillaries or damage underlying tissue.  By increasing cellular turnover we totally replace old sluggish cells with newer healthy ones, just as we would the exterior of our home.  By doing so our skin is better able to do it’s overall job and look spectacular while doing it!

What comes next?  Protection!

Just as you need to seal the roof and often the siding too for extra protection from damage, you need to do the same for the skin.  Unlike most homes today though you can protect your skin without the use of high powered chemicals.

Instead, natural skin care formulations like our signature berry blend derived from Acai, Goji, Amalaki, and Sea Buckthorn berries offers a high powered boost of antioxidants and Vitamin C which work to protect your skin from free radical damage and accelerated aging.

Also, look for products containing Essential Fatty Acids, Amino Acid Peptides, Botanical Extracts, and Essential Oils  that will work hard to naturally protect and rejuvenate the skin via their anti-aging and restorative properties.

What’s Inside Affects The Exterior Of The Home Too

Although this discussion is about caring for the exterior of your sacred “home”, what’s inside affects what’s outside too.  No point in having good things on the outside when what’s on the inside can damage them.  A diet full of fresh organic fruit and veggies, Omega Fatty Acids, and the proper amount of water will keep skin healthy from the inside out and will enhance the effectiveness of the the skin care products you’re using to repair and protect the skin on the outside too!

Care for your skin naturally and effectively and give it as much ( maybe even more!) attention as you give your home.  Regular use of high quality skin care products will enhance not only your skin’s appearance, but, the overall health and wellness of your entire body!  Treat your skin gently and it will only treat you well in return by protecting all the precious contents of your unique and beautiful “home”.
