Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [3] It contains Terpenoids, bisabolol and chamazulene.

Get your glow on with Ready to Glow

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

The Experience

One pump is enough for face and throat. Nicely emollient on my chapped lips. There is a very light, pleasant scent of fresh plums, perhaps a hint of apricot.

It absorbs and leaves a finish more like a cream than an oil, I am not greasy at all.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied immediately without piling or running. Mixing a few drops of Ready to Glow with my foundation gives a soft, luminous look.

While intended for face AND body, there is such good ingredients, we use it primarily on face, throat and décolletage. It also works well on hands and dry cuticles. It absorbs exceptionally well. It is drier than hemi-squalene oil, so if you chose to use it on body and legs, you would not have to wait to dry down before getting dressed.

My skin looks supple after use, not “wet”.

TIP: Try it with your Gua Sha tools, it gives the perfect slip!

Do your favorite shoes reveal cracked heels or dry foot skin? Fix it with Equilibrian Foot Care Kit

Do your favorite shoes reveal cracked heels or dry foot skin? Fix it with Equilibrian Foot Care Kit

Feet don’t get much attention over winter, and foot skin quickly becomes neglected and unsightly. But who wants scaly feet during that mid-winter tropical vacation? Or during a yoga, barre or pilates class? Keep feet smooth and delicate all year long without a special trip to the salon. This kit contains everything you need to get soft feet.

Are dry feet with cracked heels embarrassing you in yoga or pilates class? Try the Equilibrian Foot Care Kit to peel away all the dead skin and keep feet smooth and pretty.

ABOUT THIS SET

This Equilibrian Foot Care Kit keeps feet smooth all year long. It contains:

  • Two pairs of foot peel masks
  • Moisturizing gel socks
  • One hydrating foot mask
  • Bonus foot rasp file and a silicone scrubbing pad

Kit contents

STEP ONE: Foot Peel Mask

This mask contains AHAs, BHAs, natural extracts, and botanicals. It gently and safely penetrates dead skin cells to break down and remove the outer layers.

Two pairs of the Step 1 Foot peel

Foot Peel Ingredients

Glycolic Acid(AHA) Glycolic Acid (AHA) exfoliates by loosening the “glue” that adheres dry, dead skin to healthy skin, and then dissolves away the dead skin. There is also limited redness or irritation after use. Skin is brighter, younger, softer, and it glows like younger skin. Glycolic Acid also promotes collagen production.

Lactic acid exfoliates and brightens skin. It is gentler than glycolic acid. Lactic acid holds moisture while increasing firmness and skin thickness.

Salicylic Acid is a bHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid removes dry skin debris without excess drying. It helps build collagen. Salicylic acid works best when paired with another peeling agent.

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients. It holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor seeds

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant reduces inflammation, heals scars and hydrates.

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

STEP TWO: Moisturizing Gel Socks

One size fits all, they are suitable for women and men.

These hypo-allergenic gel lined socks are infused with essential oils and lotion for soft, healthy feet. They are reusable and washable and will hydrate feet for up to three months or sixty wearings.

Gel lined socks with skid-proof bottoms

Wear the moisturizing gel socks for one hour per session to keep feet smooth and soft. I like to use them once or twice a week. They have skid-proof treads on the bottom for safety.

Moisturizing Gel Sock Infused Ingredients

Grapeseed Oil Extract kills bacteria while softening skin

Grapeseed Oil is nourishing to the skin and contains building blocks for collagen production. High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging. Grapeseed Oil Extract kills bacteria while softening skin.

Lavender

Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin.

Jojoba is excellent for body skin. Jojoba has a similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils the scalp needs to stay healthy. It removes impurities and skin flakes, reduces inflammation and soothes skin. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats. Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.

Olives benefits the skin

Olive Oil has skin enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols. Olive Oil makes skin smooth and supple. Linoleic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect.

STEP THREE: Moisturizing Mask Booties

These disposable hydrating booties are fortified with powerful natural hydrating ingredients to moisturize and nourish foot skin. Wear them for 15 to 20 minutes, no need to rinse off feet after use.

Step 3 disposable booties

Moisturizing Mask Booties Ingredients

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Oil is an emollient that softens and smooths. It contains antioxidant vitamin E and nourishing fatty acids (mostly oleic acid 54-74%, linoleic acid 12-35%). It has nourishing and moisturizing properties and is quite easily absorbed into the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients. It holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant reduces inflammation, heals scars and hydrates.

Rosa Rugosa

Rosa Rugosa

Rosa Rugosa flower extract is rich in vitamin C, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, and carotene. It promotes collagen production and reduces enlarged pores. It also makes the skin exceptionally smooth while removing excess inflammation.

Macadamia oil is very rich and contains many natural lipids and fatty acids. It’s a high oleic acid oil (50-67% oleic acid and only 0-5% linoleic acid) that makes it very emollient and helpful for dry skin types. Macadamia uniquely contains high amounts of the rare palmitoleic acid (12-25%) that give Macadamia oil a cushiony feel. It’s also easily absorbed and makes the skin soft and supple.

BONUS

Use the bonus tools to address calluses or especially rough patches of skin such as cracked heels.

Well made dual sided foot rasp and silicone scrubber

Well made dual-sided foot rasp and silicone scrubber

MY EXPERIENCE

This three-step system gently removes dead skin, then the gel socks and moisturizing mask keep feet smooth.

After using the peel, my feet felt instantly smoother. The dead skin started to peel in a few days. Then they continued to peel for about two or three days. So much dead skin came off! Skin slowly exfoliates away layer by layer until all the dry skin is gone. I was especially impressed with how much smoother and softer my dry, cracked heels were immediately after using the peel.

There is no discomfort, stinging or burning while using the peel. It does not sting like AHAs and BHAs do on the face.

The peeling will continue for several days, however, and it is unattractive, so be prepared to cover the feet during this unsightly week. But afterward, the feet are so smooth!

How to Use the Peel

Open one STEP ONE package. There is one pair of booties folded inside. You can see the peel solution.

Step 1 booties have the AHA and BHA acids to gently peel feet

Soak feet, unfold the booties and tear or cut the tops. Slip the booties on the feet for 90 to 120 minutes. It does not sting or burn, you can put your feet up, relax and watch a movie. Then remove the booties and wash off your feet.

Next put on the gel socks.

The gel socks are comfortable and wearing them for an hour makes my feet softer and smooth.

I like that they are hypoallergenic, reusable, roomy and comfortable. The essential oils and infused lotion means I don’t have to add any extra lotions or creams for my feet to be soft after use.

The bonus tools are of good quality and manage calluses before they become unsightly. The foot rasp is particularly effective.

This three-step system gently removes dead skin, then the gel socks and moisturizing mask keep feet smooth. It comes nicely boxed and makes a great gift!

How to Fix Dry Skin Organically: SuperNatural Body Glo Body Oil with Bergamot

· 28 Comments

At StyleChicks, we adore many skincare friendly ingredients. So when those ingredients come together into one organic product, we’re positively giddy. Our source of giddiness is SuperNatural Body Glō Body Oil with Bergamot. It contains skincare all star ingredients.

Supernatural Body Glō Body Oil with Bergamot - 100% USDA Certified Organic

Supernatural Body Glō Body Oil with Bergamot is 100% USDA Certified Organic

WHAT IT IS

Supernatural Body Glō Body Oil is a lightweight post-shower oil to restore and nourish the skin. In a few days to weeks, see skin that naturally glows. We mean it. Even eczema or psoriasis, back acne, old scars, and dry, dull, scaly legs look and feel better.

WHAT IT DOES: A QUICK FIX FOR NEGLECTED BODY SKIN

I moisturize face and throat but often neglect body skin. Winter takes its’ toll on long-neglected arms, shoulders, and legs. The skin on shoulders, arms, chest, and decolletage deserve love too.

SuperNatural Body Glō Body Oil makes it very easy to make amends for a winter of skin neglect. A small amount of this post-shower spray-on oil hydrates and restores skin. It dries down fast with a light bergamot scent. Skin isn’t left slippery or greasy.

WHAT MAKES SUPERNATURAL Body GLO Body Oil SPECIAL?

The ingredient list reads like a skin care all-star roster. When combined, they synergistically enhance each other while creating a balanced, light oil that addresses numerous skin needs. Expect skin to be softer and brighter with superior moisture retention. Long-term benefits of these ingredients include better collagen, elastin and ceramide levels.

SuperNatural Body Glō Body Oil is 100% USDA Certified Organic. Ingredients include Sacha Inchi Oil, Sea Buckthorn, Grapeseed and Jojoba Oils. Also Castor, Coconut, Amla, Sunflower, Matcha, and Kelp.

MY EXPERIENCE

A small amount massaged into the body leaves skin so soft to the touch. It absorbs quickly and does not stain clothing. It dries down without being greasy. This is a restorative treatment. My skin is not just temporarily enhanced with moisturizer.  It is well hydrated and healthy looking all day. Even cracked elbows, dry patches on my upper arms, rough knees and feet.  Decolletage and shoulders are soft and supple.

SuperNatural Body Glō Body Oil makes a lovely gift for yourself or for Mom!

Details for the Ingredient Obsessed:
HOW DOES SUPERNATURAL Body Glō Body Oil WORK?

Want to know how it works? Read below for a detailed overview of the amazing ingredient combination in Glō Body Oil:

SUPERSTAR INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN

The Vital fab four

The heavy lifting of intense body skin rehab comes from these four ingredients. These are Sacha Inchi Oil, Sea Buckthorn, Grapeseed, and Jojoba. You’ve likely used the latter but know less about the former. Sachi Inchi and Sea Buckthorn are amazing additions to your skincare.

1.  SACHA INCHI OIL

Sacha Inchi Oil contains Plant Sterols. These improve moisture retention and rebuilds skin’s natural lipid barriers. It keeps skin elastic with astounding levels of omega-3s and omega-6s and some omega-9s. Topical omegas actually prevent future sun damage. Other oils cannot compete with Sacha Inchi’s toxin-free high omega profile. This is important because omegas maintain ceramides, regulate sebum, and make skin glow.

Sacha Inchi Oil contains high levels of behenic acid, an anti-aging superstar. It also contains Vitamin A and E.

Sacha Inchi oil is lightweight and doesn’t clog pores. This is amazing because it has about three times the essential fatty acid content of coconut oil. This scent-free oil has exceptional moisturizing properties. It works on even chronically dry, sensitive and irritated skin. (1)

2.  SEA BUCKTHORN

Sea Buckthorn contains over 200 skin-friendly nutrients. It restores skin and builds collagen. The omegas make skin glow from within. This non-irritating oil is an anti-inflammatory that treats acne, eczema, and psoriasis. See fine lines become smoother and softer.

Sea Buckthorn’s value in skincare has been documented in medical journals and books. One stated:

“Valuable substances contained in sea-buckthorn oil play an important role in the proper functioning of the human body and give skin a beautiful and healthy appearance. A balanced composition of fatty acids give the number of vitamins or their range in this oil and explains its frequent use in cosmetic products for the care of dry, flaky or rapidly aging skin. Moreover, its unique unsaturated fatty acids, such as palmitoleic acid (omega-7) and gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6), give sea-buckthorn oil skin regeneration and repair properties.” (2)

3.  GRAPESEED OIL

Grapeseed Oil is often found in high-end brands with good reason. It is nourishing and contains building blocks for collagen production. High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging. Being organic, as in this product, is especially important for grapeseed oils.

4.  JOJOBA OIL

Jojoba Oil is close to the chemical composition of our natural oils. It regulates oily skin, removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation and soothes skin. It is also a carrier oil that helps other oils penetrate.

Supernatural Body Gio Body Oil contains Sacha Inchi Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sea Buckthorn and Jojoba along with many other skin-friendly organic ingredients

Supernatural Body Gio Body Oil contains Sacha Inchi Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sea Buckthorn and Jojoba along with many other skin-friendly organic ingredients

Supporting Ingredients

Vital cogs in this composite skincare product, these supporting ingredients provide an array of skin benefits.  There are many benefits to these organic ingredients. Here are a few things they do for skin:

  • Matcha Leaf Extract is a moisturizing acne treatment.
  • Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract contains Vitamin C to boost collagen. There are fatty oils to moisturize. Like Sacha Inchi, it contains high levels of behenic acid.  Topical application promotes cellular growth. It also reduces fine lines, sagging skin, fades scars, reduces and inflammation.
  • Emblica Officinalis, AKA Amla is high in Vitamin C to increase collagen and fades scars. Amla is nutrient-rich and restorative.
  • Haritaki a natural toner and UV protectant.
  • Bibhitaki Fruits Extract is high in Vitamin C and fights skin allergies.
  • Kelp Extract minerals remove toxins. It lessens redness, inflammation, rosacea and protects against environmental damage.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base.
  • Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil smooths rough skin patches and repairs the skin barrier.
  • Flax Seed Oil promotes skin brightness, elasticity, firmness, and texture.
  • Coconut Oil‘s moisturizing properties are well-known. It is also anti-inflammatory with mild UV protective properties.
  • Castor Seed Oil reduces inflammation, heals scars and hydrates.
 Quite the beauty line-up, isn’t it?

A lovely gift for a skin care obsessed friend, a friend with sensitive skin, or as a gift for yourself.

Keratosis Pilaris: How to Treat Chicken Bump Skin at Home

· Leave a Comment

Keratosis Pilaris is chicken bump skin. If you know what chicken bump skin is, you probably have it or know someone who does. If so, you know how hard it is to treat, because nothing seems to work. And it is unsightly, especially in the warm weather when you want to wear arm-revealing apparel. Learn about an easy, safe remedy for KP: Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer.

WHAT IS KERATOSIS PILARIS?

Keratosis Pilaris is small, dry white bumps that occur in patches. They are an excess build-up of keratin in numerous adjacent hair follicles within an area. They are most common on the back of the upper arms, the back and can appear even on buttocks. And they don’t exfoliate away, they don’t respond to acne medicine or creams, they seemingly respond to nothing, and they can get itchy. Oh, and they get angry looking in the heat, in the cold, from creams, sprays, clothing, and it would seem for no apparent reason at all.

It is sort of a not problem of a problem until it is one. Keratosis Pilaris can’t really hurt you unless you get an infection from scratching it. You also can temporarily tame the KP beast with a gentle exfoliation with mild soap and perhaps a brush device like Clarisonic, but you can also make a mess of your skin trying to treat it if you use the wrong products. And it is easy to mistake for acne or poison ivy if you don’t know better, starting a vicious cycle of KP inflammation and redness.

KP can leave unsightly and embarrassing red, irritated bumps that appear like acne or a rash on upper arms

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT KERATOSIS PILARIS

The dread Chicken bump skin will respond to prescription strength Retinol. Retinol gently exfoliates off the dead skin cells entrapping the hardened keratin and replaces that skin with chicken bump-free skin, for the time being at least. It takes a good four to six weeks, but it clears it up pretty well. Further, with regular long-term use, the retinol helps prevent the hardened keratin bumps from forming in the first place, which reduces KP bump formation.

The caveat is that it that Retinol can also make skin dry, flaky and itchy, which make it more difficult to not scratch, which in turn, makes KP all the worse. So the Retinol needs to be buffered. And therein lies the rub: so many other ingredients can irritate KP that not all creams or lotions can be used as a retinol buffering agent.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains prescription strength Retinol plus Vitamin C to combat KP, along with Jojoba, Vitamin C and Aloe Vera to soothe irritated skin

One product we found that is excellent for treating KP is Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer. It combines a prescription strength Retinol of 2.5% with 20% Vitamin C serum. Together they sack chicken bumps, clearing out existing bumps and eliminating the excess keratin from the skin. This prevents new bumps from forming. There is also the bonus of several natural Keratosis Pilaris friendly moisturizers to buffer the active ingredients. These include the super soothing Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera, and Sunflower Oil. This not only makes Retinol tolerable but eases the itchiness of existing chicken bumps, which makes it much easier not to scratch.

LORDBURY RETINOL+C CREAM MOISTURIZER IS A COST EFFECTIVE KP TREATMENT

If you are in the market for KP products, you will notice they pretty much all have one thing in common: a steep price tag for a not so big bottle. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer comes in a large and generous 2.8-ounce size for under $30, which makes it the most cost-effective treatment I’ve found to date for the Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms.

My chicken bump situation is pretty mild, but I’m self-conscious about the area during the summer, and I’m happy to report the Lordsbury Retinol+C moisturizer took care of the problem without any irritation to the area. So this summer, I am chicken bump free!
