How to Best Treat Chronic Dry Skin: Toe Juice

November 7, 2020 · 1 Comment

Review: Toe Juice
Got dry, cracked feet and elbows? The now constant hand washing has left my already dry, flaky cuticles and eczema-prone knuckles absolutely raw. I tried home remedies, even a prescription cortisone cream. Fortunately, we found an effective, natural remedy to combat dry, flaky skin: Toe Juice! Toe Juice hydrates while helping the skin heal itself. It is a natural formulation to heal skin head to toe.

FIGHTING DRY SKIN

If you suffer from dry, itchy skin patches, ragged cuticles, or flaking, dry, cracked feet – you have likely tried all kinds of DIY remedies online. But some of these remedies can do more harm than good.

Lotions and creams can be messy and ineffective. Prescription remedies can lose efficacy over time. Cortisones can weaken and thin the skin.

Toe Juice was created for dry feet but works anywhere you experience skin imbalance. Toe Juice is a fast-drying liquid with no messy residue. It quickly rehydrates skin and restores healthy skin.

Skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, as well as dandruff and dry, tight scalp hold in common the need for skin hydration. Most skin conditions also have some elements of inflammation. And when the skin barrier is disturbed, it is more susceptible to fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

Hydration is key in combatting skin flaking and dryness. Toe Juice rapidly delivers hydration to skin cells with a fast-absorbing formulation.

How to Hydrate Dry Skin

This seems so basic, yet skin hydration is so elusive. The makers of Toe Juice give an excellent explanation on their website: drinking mayonnaise.

If you were very thirsty, would you drink water or mayonnaise? Lotions and creams are actually an inferior way to hydrate the skin because their delivery method is a barrier to absorption. The consistency of lotions and creams can’t deliver moisture or healing ingredients as effectively as a fast-absorbing liquid.

Toe Juice is a liquid remedy with a unique method to deliver treating ingredients.

Proprietary Formulation

Toe Juice with DermaVine

Toe Juice contains DermaVine, a proprietary blend of plant-based extracts like lemon peel oil, willow bark, and cinnamon bark extract. These safe, natural, and effective ingredients help the body heal itself.

Toe Juice® with DermaVine’s exfoliate dead cells while restoring healthy skin. It’s Antifungal, Antimicrobial, Antibacterial, and Antiviral.

What Makes it Special

It works quickly and won’t become less effective over time. Applying Toe Juice consistently for 10-14 days relieves most skin ailments.

Toe Juice is very safe. It can be used by newborns, the elderly, pregnant and nursing women, diabetics, cancer survivors, and chemo-patients. It won’t bleach skin and is suitable for any skin tones and ethnicities.

Lemon Peel Oil treats 31 types of Candida yeast overgrowth on the skin. [1]

Lemon Peel Oil eliminates certain skin-damaging bacterias better than the antibiotic erythromycin.  [2]

The DermaVine formulation rehydrates and promotes new, healthy skin cells. The result is a natural, effective, plant-based acne remedy.

The Ingredients

Let’s take a look at a few of the ingredients in Toe Juice’s DermaVineâ„¢ formula:

Key Ingredients

Lemon Peel Oil fights bacteria better than many common antibiotics

Lemon Peel Oil fights bacteria and fungi

Lemon Peel Oil

Lemon Peel is highly effective on Candida Yeast overgrowth on the skin. Candida yeast strains are opportunistic fungi that cause irritation and itching. It can even cause severe infections in immunocompromised individuals. Lemon Peel Oil has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungal strains. This is attributed to the high content of monoterpenoids (terpenes). The terpenes in lemon are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antinociceptive, antihyperalgesic, and antiviral. [3]

One study concluded the antifungal potential of lemon peel oil is probably the ”result of the synergistic interaction between hydrocinnamic acid and bergamol.”[4]

Lemon Peel Oil is also a natural exfoliator and skin purifier. [5] It alleviates skin inflammation [6] and reduces certain infection-causing bacterias. [7]

Direct, undiluted application of lemon peel oil can be excessively drying to the skin, but it works well within a balanced formulation.

cinnamonum extract

Cinnamon Bark

Cinnamonum Extract is a type of cinnamon bark.

It is used in skincare as an antiseptic, antibiotic, and astringent.

Cinnamon bark enhances the permeation and delivery of topical treating ingredients via the skin.  [8]

Cinnamonum Extract helps eliminate bacteria and detoxifies and has antiseptic properties.[9] It is particularly effective in eliminating Staphylococcus epidermidis.  [10]

Studies suggest cinnamaldehyde, a component in cinnamon, may enhance healing in P. aeruginosa-infected skin wounds. [11]

Willow Bark Extract

Willow Bark extract comes from these inner layers of the bark of the willow tree.

Willow Bark extract has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. [12]

It contains Salicylic Acid which is helpful in dandruff and psoriasis treatment. It also helps build collagen to heal scars and improve skin texture.

Toe Juice is a natural formulation to heal skin head to toe

Toe Juice is a natural formulation to heal skin head to toe

Uses

Used on a cotton ball or cotton swab and it can be precisely applied head to toe. Apply it with a dropper or with a spray bottle.

Safe for head to toe use, apply Toe Juice® anywhere from a dry, flaky scalp to cracked heels.

  • Rashes
  • Cracked skin and cuticles
  • Dry skin patches
  • Mosquito bites
  • Warts
  • Itchy elbows
  • Dandruff or scalp buildup imbalances
  • Eczema
  • Skin irritated from hand sanitizer use

My Experience

Chronic handwashing and hand sanitizer use triggers my eczema and cracked cuticles. But Toe Juice soothes my cuticles and restores my skin without chemicals. And it’s amazing on flaky elbows!

But the biggest test for me is for years I have had a chronic dry patch of eczema on my forehead. I’ve used over-the-counter, prescription and DIY remedies, yet it never truly clears.

So I applied Toe Juice daily to the eczema spot. It absorbs so well that for the first few days I was over-applying because I expected it to be wet and require a visible dry-down. By day three I just dabbed it with a drop of Toe Juice on a q-tip each day. It doesn’t sting or burn. It absorbs immediately.

Within eight days it was cleared, the dryness and even the dark reddish-brown discoloration is gone. It looks and feels so much better.

How to Best treat Adult Acne with Acne Slayer

October 31, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Review: Acne Slayer a plant-based acne treatment

I thought by the time I had wrinkles that acne would be over. Nope. And adult acne is tricky. Cystic acne, Rudolph red nose, pimples, and full-blown zits. Acne Slayer fights all the above. We got a chance to try this plant-based blemish fighter. It works because it has natural, proven ingredients that are delivered by a unique method of conveyance.  Read about the research-backed natural ingredients and our experience with Acne Slayer.

Acne Slayer

Acne Slayer

WHY Acne Slayer WORKS

Acne Slayer works because it uses proven plant extracts to enhance the skin’s natural ability to heal.

DermaVine is Acne Slayer’s secret weapon. It is a proprietary blend of ingredients like willow bark, lemon peel oil, and cinnamon extract.

DermaVine

Cinnamon bark enhances the permeation and delivery of topical treating ingredients.  [1]

Acne Slayer

The DermaVine formula is suspended within an alcohol solution. Alcohol destroys fungal, viral, and bacterial cells that cause acne. This also enables the best possible absorption – better than creams, salves, or serums.

As a liquid, it won’t leave a residue. It is undetectable on a bare face or under moisturizer, sunscreen, or makeup.

Lemon Peel Oil eliminates Cutibacterium acnes, an acne-causing bacteria, better than the antibiotic erythromycin. [2]

Typically, alcohol dries adult skin. But the DermaVine formulation rehydrates and promotes new, healthy skin cells. The result is a natural, effective, plant-based acne remedy.

What is in Acne Slayer?

Let’s take a look at the acne-fighting properties of a few of the ingredients in the DermaVine formula:

Key Ingredients

Willow Bark extract comes from these inner layers of the bark of the willow tree.

Willow Bark Extract

Willow Bark Extract is an excellent acne remedy. It unclogs pores, reduces redness, and regulates sebum production. Yet it is gentle to the skin.

Willow Bark extract has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. [3]

Willow Bark contains salicin, from which salicylic acid is derived. Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA.

  • It purges clogged pores without excess drying the skin surface.
  • Salicylic Acid does not cause the dryness that occurs with Benzoyl Peroxide or Retinol.
  • It also helps build collagen to heal acne scars and improve skin care texture.

Lemon Peel Oil

Lemon Peel Oil clears the skin. As a natural exfoliator and skin purifier, lemon peel oil gives skin a lovely glow. [4]

Lemon Peel Oil alleviates skin inflammation [5] to reduce the angry red appearance of a blemish. It also reduces certain infection-causing bacterias. [6]

One study reported Lemon Peel Oil demonstrates remarkable antibacterial activity against Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes, Formerly P. acnes) and common microorganisms such as S. aureus, B. subtilis, and E. coli. Even compared with the common antibiotics (such as erythromycin, clindamycin, and tetracycline) for acne therapy, its antibacterial activity against C. acnes is more excellent [7].

Lemon Peel Oil is an antioxidant containing high levels of Vitamin C. Vitamin C reduces excess oil production, shrinks pores, and exfoliates dead surface skin. These reduce the formation of acne.

Direct, undiluted application of lemon peel oil can dry the skin. But it works well within a balanced formulation.

Cinnamonum Extract

Cinnamonum Extract is a type of cinnamon bark.

It is used in skincare as an antiseptic, antibiotic, and astringent.

Cinnamonum Extract helps eliminate bacteria and prevent future breakouts due to its’ detoxifying and antiseptic properties.[8] It is particularly effective in eliminating acne causing Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. [9, 10]

Cinnamon Extract can enhance the absorption and delivery of treating ingredients via the skin.[11]

Studies suggest cinnamaldehyde, a component in cinnamon, may enhance healing in P. aeruginosa-infected skin wounds. [12]

The Acne Slayer Experience

The texture is a bit thicker than water consistency. I am impressed that it is not greasy or sticky.

It smells of alcohol but doesn’t sting.  The smell of alcohol evaporates quickly. It is fresh smelling, but I don’t detect a specific note. Maybe a bit citrus with slight spice but not exactly cinnamon. I smell nothing once it is dry.

It dries down completely clean. I can wear makeup or sunscreen on top without any grainy, chalky, or greasy residue.

Apply 4-8 drops of Acne Slayer to the face like a toner

Apply 4-8 drops of Acne Slayer to the face like a toner

Apply 4-8 drops with a cotton pad


How does it work?

Just on cue, a cystic acne pimple emerged on my chin. Red, swollen and painful.

So I applied Acne Slayer as directed. I wipe it on my face with a cotton wipe, like a toner. It dries immediately without a residue, and I apply my sunscreen or moisturizer directly on top. I apply daily.

Normally cystic acne painfully sits on my face, slowly forming into pimple form for over a week or so.  Acne Slayer reduced the size, removed the painful swelling, and the redness. It also accelerated the process. Acne Slayer stopped the painful inflammation and redness of cystic acne, quickly reducing an angry blemish to a non-inflamed white head that resolved on its’ in a few days.
