Latest Research: DOES EXERCISING YOUR SKIN GUARANTEE RAPID WEIGHT LOSS?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

WeightlossFor centuries we have known that exercise is essential for good health – it gets the heart pumping and increases circulation. We know this is fact because after a 5 mile run our cheeks are glowing red and our heart rate is up. Improved circulation ensures that all the cells in our body get the nutrients and oxygen they need.

Organic Apoteke has developed products that also get the blood flowing to your cheeks without the 5 mile run. In fact this occurs while you sit on your couch for 15 minutes.

Organic Apoteke’s  innovative products stimulate microcirculation ensuring your skin gets as much blood flowing as you would from:

  • a 5 mile run
  • a 75 minute workout, or
  • a 2 hour hike.

The research shows that the Organic Apoteke products do not help with weight loss, but do ensure gorgeous, glowing skin.

Spring clean : Detox Face Mask

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
Blemish free skin is within reach

Blemish free skin is within reach

For as long as I can recall the pores on my nose and my chin have looked bigger because they were clogged. No More!

Our pores don’t have any muscles and is biologically impossible make your pores smaller, but you can make them look smaller. Our pores stretch and look larger due to pollutants, oil, comedogenic face care products, makeup etc.The more clogged your pores are, the larger they look.

When I first met Nitasha (founder of Organic Apoteke) I had plenty to envy about her skin but I suppose the thing I was most impressed with was that you could not see her pores at all! I immediately asked if it was scientifically possible for me to have “invisible pores”. She encouraged me to use the Detox Face Mask regularly.

I have been using the Detox Face Mask and all the other active products from Organic Apoteke for about two and a half years. Now I am not sure when it happened but those pesky enlarged pores on my nose? Refined and virtually invisible and my blackheads gone!

There are many reasons to use the detox face mask regularly, but this one matters to me most.

Who is it for:
Anyone with normal to oily skin (great maintenance treatment).
Also ideal for anyone with congested skin, scars, blemishes, blackheads or skin needing a softening, exfoliation treatment.

This mask is not stripping or drying and can be used by people with dry skin who suffer from blemishes or blackhead, or any other form of “congested“ skin.

Why it’s amazing

  • Reduce blemishes by 72%*
  • Diminish oiliness by 74%*
  • Even complexion by 84%*
  • Refines pores

Key Ingredients:

  • Dead Sea Mud – 22 mineral function through osmosis to extract impurities from the pores of the skin. Impurities are absorbed my the mask and rinsed away.
  • Papaya and Pineapple enzymes soften the skin and remove dead and damaged skin cells

Tips and Tidbits:
• put a tiny dab on a blemish overnight and watch is shrink to barely visible by morning

Herbal Skin Care : What are alkaloids?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

It is the constituents found in herbs or plants that give them their main actions. Here is a brief introduction to an important plan constituent, the alkaloids.

Alkaloids

These are substances containing nitrogen – the original definition means ‘vegetable alkali’. They tend to have fairly strong actions on the body. For instance the caffeine found in tea and coffee is an alkaloid that stimulates the nervous system while the ‘hot’ substance found in chili peppers is an alkaloid that stimulates the digestion and circulation. In skincare the alkaloids in chili may be used to stimulate the circulatory system. Increasing circulation to the skin helps decrease cellulite and also enables the skin to get the vital nutrients it needs from the blood to stay healthy.

Herbal Skin Care: Organic Body Cream for Dry Skin

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Organic Apoteke body cream repairs dry damaged skin with a unique nutrient delivery system. Skin is softer, healthier and more hydrated, even after 14hrs.

Organic Apoteke body cream repairs dry damaged skin with a unique nutrient delivery system. Skin is softer, healthier and more hydrated, even after 14hrs.

Yesterday I knew winter was here, when I heard the skin on legs make a soft rasping sound against my jeans…

Cold drizzly days make me want to sit inside and plan my garden, curl up with a book or begin a new knitting project, but there is just nothing cozy about dry chapped legs that make sandpaper seem smooth!

I whipped out my trusty Organic Apoteke Body Cream… I began with my right leg, smoothing it over my slightly red legs with a flaky white film over them.. the difference was instant, and it did not just make my skin soft and supple, it also turned my legs a pleasant golden tone. Wow, I had never noticed such a contrast before. I decided in the name of blogger-science that I would only apply the body cream to one leg and take picture the next day if you could still see the difference.

I woke up in the morning with an itchy left leg, and remembered my little experiment. I looked down at my legs, sure enough the leg that had been massaged with organic body cream was soft and had a healthy look, while the other leg was worse: flaky and parched.

I had to take a picture of this, but looked down and said ” I am not taking a picture of my stubbly legs and posting them on the internet”… I do have some pride! I got in the shower, shaved. I got dressed and checked my email. Plenty of to-do items in my inbox already… so forgot about my photo session for a while. When lunch time rolled I around checked my legs to see if I could still see the difference – was it worth taking a picture? (besides, I was dying to put body cream on my left leg!)

Here is the picture…I hope you can see the difference. Remember this is taken at lunch time the day after I applied the body cream, after a shower and a shave I could still see the difference (I hope you can to – aren’t iphones great?).

Left leg, dry and itchy - right after body cream was applied, then a nights sleep a shower and shave and still looking so much better after only one application of Organic Apoteke Body Cream

P.S. I have seasonally dry skin, but the Body Cream has been tested on people with chronic dry skin conditions such as exzema, with great success. stay tuned for more success stories…

Do you suffer from dry skin? Tell us your story.

Left leg: dry and itchy (no body cream). Right leg , golden, soft and smooth 14hrs after applying the organic body cream.

Natural Skincare: Tips for Sensitive Skin

Monday, November 30th, 2009

1. Avoid products that contain alcohol and Synthetic Fragrances. Look at product labels or contact the company directly to ensure products are alcohol free and also free of all synthetic colors and fragrances.
2. Check all product ingredients. If you have a specific allergy to an ingredient, ensure that it is not in a product. You can view our ingredients in our ingredient glossary.
3. Patch test all products when using them for the first time. Conduct a patch test as follows. Apply product onto the inner wrist in the manner that you are recommended to use the regime. Wait 24 hours observing the area. If you have no un-expected response – please refer to product details for the expected response; test the same regime on the temple. Wait 24 hours. If you have no un-expected response – use products as recommended.
4. Please note that with a sensitivity reaction – every time you use a product this reaction gets worse. With products that stimulate microcirculation, every time you use the product the beauty blush decreases.

Anti Aging, Organic Eye Cream – I’m Hooked

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

RECI have been known to tout the glory of getting older and embracing the aging process but I have a confession: I am addicted to the Organic Apoteke Rejuvenating Eye Cream. I don’t mind the gray hairs that are beginning to show here and there (though I secretly hope they grow in a nice streak), but the thought of no longer being as wide-eyed bothers me.

About a year ago, I thought: I am not as vain as I used to be, but it turns out I was just too busy to care. As soon as life mellowed a bit it, it turned out I was as vain as before. It grabbed me when looked in the mirror and I saw my age for the first time around my eyes. I decided that when it came to my eyes I would rather defy my age than embrace it and now I apply our eye cream whenever I think of it.

Thank goodness – I slammed on the brakes and kicked it into reverse: wide-eyed again!

I imagine myself many years from now, sitting on my rocking chair with my silver mane and the eyes of a thirty-something. I’ll take pleasure in knowing I did it without Botox! Yes I’ll still be able to smile – isn’t that what it’s all about?

Who is it for:

Everyone
The skin around the eyes is so thin and delicate, it is never too soon to start protecting it by keeping it nourished, firm and smooth.

Why I love it
• Reduces Wrinkles in as little as two weeks
• Diminishes dark circles by strengthening the tiny capillaries under the eye
• Reduces under eye puffiness
• It is a bargain! Organic Apoteke products don’t aim to be the “budget” option. After all they use certified organic, fair trade ingredients in recycled glass bottles, and a patented production process, but I have to say it: at $27, this is the best value you’ll find.

Key Ingredients:
• Natural Peptide Complex boosts collagen to smooth and firm the skin
• Bilberry extract is a super antioxidant that helps to build capillary strength

What about you?

Do you defy your age or do you embrace it?

Maybe a bit of both?

Please share you views on aging and vanity.

Dry Skin? How an Organic Facial Cleanser can Help.

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Look for a gentle, nourishing, alcohol free cleanser, like Buttermilk Cleanser

Look for a gentle, nourishing, alcohol free cleanser, like Buttermilk Cleanser

If you have dry skin, the thought of a cleanser probably makes you cringe a little.  You wonder whether it’s going to make your skin feel dry and tight? We can sympathize, cleansers can often aggravate dry skin. Having said that, however, finding the right facial cleanser can help you re-hydrate dry skin and is the foundation of any good skin care practice.

A cleanser can do so much more than get the makeup and pollution of our faces, it can be the first step to rejuvenating dry skin by building the skin’s capacity to retain moisture.

Organic Apoteke has an organic facial cleanser that doesn’t merely wash away impurities.  It does so while nourishing the skin with antioxidants and removing dead and damaged cells so that your moisturizer can go deeper into the skin and begin to build healthy well nourished skin cells.

Yes, an advanced cleanser can really do all that, thanks to the following ingredients!

• Rose Oil: Improves circulation

• Buttermilk Powder: Removes dead and damaged skin cells

• Soy Oil: Combats free radical damage and provides protection and nourishment

Note: avoid all alcohol in your skin care regime and be sure to always follow your cleansing with a nourishing toner and moisturizer.

For more information on the Organic Apoteke Buttermilk Cleanser and other organic skincare products please visit our website.
