Willow Bark does Wonders for Acne, Wrinkles and Rosacea

There was a time when most cosmetics and beauty products that you can find are all full of chemicals and other synthetic ingredients.  Fortunately, today’s health and beauty industry is seeing the importance of natural and organic skin care.  Quality beauty products you will see today now contain natural and organic sourced ingredients. Today we will share some benefits of one of our specialists favorite organic skin care ingredients; willow bark.

Willow bark comes from either the black or white willow bark tree, and offers both health and beauty benefits. Willow bark is used in Natural Skin Care formulas due to it’s natural content of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid products remove old and dead skin cells from your face and body and helps make way for new and fresh skin cells. As you know, dead skin cells can make your face look dull and haggard. As we age, we need to dissolve skin cells more often.  By using products with willow bark extract, you can make your skin youthful and radiant again.

Willow bark also offers anti-inflammatory properties that can relieve swelling and sensitivity.  This makes willow bark ideal for conditions of rosacea as well as sensitive blemishes, cystic acne and even aging skin.   Inflammation can lead to premature aging, so it is essential to minimize inflammation of the skin.  Willowbark can also minimize age spots and discoloration due to it’s mild exfoliating properties.  Internally, if you use aspirin for pain but find it upsets your stomach, perhaps consider willow bark extract for a more gentle solution.

The next time you shop for a skin care product, try to look for one that contains natural ingredients such willow bark. For instance the Sevani Advanced Complexion Corrector contains willow bark, chamomile, vitamins and licorice root among many other natural ingredients. The product not only helps you prevent dull skin, redness and blemishes but can also help you avoid signs of aging as well. To experience willowbark benefits along with the benefits of algae, essential fatty acids and more, you may also incorporate the Ageless Radiance Refining AHA cleanser and Rapid Renewal AHA-BHA face cream into your daily skin care regimen.  These products are formulated free of chemical preservatives and synthetic ingredients and developed by a skin specialist.  While there are numerous products on the market with willowbark, few have the complimentary ingredients needed to create an advanced clinical skin care product that is truly effective.

Ever wonder “Why” Amber Bottles Are Used For Beer, Oils, Skin Care and More?

Many different products are stored in bottles of different shapes, sizes and colors. Have you ever asked yourself if you are buying a product that had its ingredients protected by its container? Now here’s a question you should ask yourself. Why do you think medicine syrups, beer, some skin care and essential oils are stored in dark colored bottles? Certainly it must be for a specific purpose and not just out from the fancy of some creative designer for the manufacturing company.

Amber bottles are preferred by the pharmaceutical companies and by producers of essential oils and pure plant ingredients for good reason. The first one is that it protects the product contained inside from photo damage. As we all know, the sun’s light contains UV rays that are not only harmful to our skin but can change the components of different products as well. Now we do not want to buy a product spoiled by light do we? You might say that there are other colored bottles that we could use but why do wine companies and essential oil producers prefer amber bottles?

  • It gives better UV protection. Amber bottles can filter out blue and ultraviolet light. The problem with blue bottle is that they allow the blue light in and this is not good for essential oils, skin care products or for wine and beer. When you protect the ingredients from the harmful rays, the products, you are extending the shelf life of the ingredients.
  • Why Glass?  Glass is easier to recycle then plastic and more importantly, no harmful chemicals from the plastic can leach into your products.  It is said that 60% of what we apply to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream.  While glass may not be preferred by some, it is an eco-friendly choice that also protects you from chemicals that can be found in some plastic materials.
  • Amber bottles are less expensive.  Amber bottles offer a more competitive price over blue and clear bottles  of which offer little protection from the light that may penetrate it.  In the case of Sevani products, we want our cost to go into the skin care products and not the exterior packaging, so we can offer you the best products possible.

A good product is as good as its packaging. Amber bottles can protect your natural skin care products from light damage offering you a better protected higher quality product.  And the fact they are easier to recycle then plastic and do not contain harmful chemicals doesn’t hurt either!

Use The Principals of Homeopathy For Effective Yet Gentle Skin Care

Homeopathic medicine was discovered by a German physician by the name of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that quinine bark, a conventional medicine of malaria, can cause the same level of malaria fevers when taken in by a healthy person.

As he continued his research he determined that some plants that could cause certain symptoms to a healthy person could cure an ailing person.  This led Dr Hahnemann to create treatments based on the principle that illness occurs when imbalance exists, which is now the main tenet of homeopathy.

Homeopathy can be used to treat any condition physical and mental, which, of course, includes imbalances that present as skin problems.  I have tapped into some of these natural remedies for my chemical free skin care line because of my own personal experience with the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine as well as the fact that Homeopathy heals without hurting and, best of all, treats the root causes of the imbalance/illness so we can eliminate the problem once and for all!.

Sevani skin care products are made by using minute percentages of a natural plant or mineral ingredient, just as in homeopathy.  By doing so, an effective, yet gentle remedy is created to treat and balance skin conditions as opposed to using harsh chemicals and toxins only to block the symptoms of the still underlying problem.

Products that contain plant extracts and minerals chosen for their homeopathic qualities, like those in the Sevani skin care line, can be beneficial to all skin types in many different ways:

  • These products are gentle on your skin- synthetic ingredients are not comparable molecules to human skin cells, and, as a result, offer little to no benefit real benefit. Products made with all natural ingredients on the other hand support the natural texture of your skin, which makes it ideal for skin regeneration, all the while being so gentle they’re safe to use on your most delicate skin.
  • They help in skin renewal- Plant extracts and minerals can stimulate cell production. This will prevent premature aging and help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • They’ll effectively moisturize your skin- Regardless of your skin type, your skin will be able to retain moisture and this too helps in the prevention of fine lines on the skin and is important for overall skin health.
  • They’ll tone and firm your skin too -Your skin will look firmer and will have self-healing abilities that have been masked by all the chemicals and toxins often used in make up and skin care products.
  • And, you’ll have a healthy complexion- Using chemical free skin care products that contain antioxidants, like those used in Sevani, help give your skin an even tone and a natural, healthy glow.

If you have problematic skin that is dry, oily, sensitive, or have blemishes, then the use of homeopathic skin care products is the gentlest way to take care of your skin condition.
