Winter facial care
WHY DOES OUR SKIN NOT LIKE WINTER? Winter facial care requires special attention, because low temperatures, wind and dry air in heated rooms can significantly weaken the skin's protective barrier. At this time, the skin becomes more susceptible to dryness, redness and irritation. However, proper care activities can effectively counteract these problems. Winter is a challenge for our skin, especially facial skin. At this time of year, it is exposed to wind, frost and many other unfavourable weather conditions, not to mention air conditioning and frequent temperature changes, which also do not have a good effect on its condition. This is particularly problematic for people with sensitive skin, although winter also affects other types of skin. Therefore, with the arrival of winter, it is worth thinking about proper care. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN IN WINTER? Our skin needs more care in winter, which does not mean that it is advisable to apply a lot of cosmetics. Instead of quantity, we should focus on quality and choose only the most effective, yet gentle and natural cosmetics for the face, which will not burden our skin too much, but will take care of its needs and provide the necessary protection. It is important to remember about regularity - only through daily use of natural face creams will we achieve the expected effects. Cleaning The basis of skin care is its gentle cleansing. In winter, avoid soaps and products that contain strong detergents, such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), because they can dry out the skin. Instead, it is worth reaching for gentle milks, oils or foams with moisturizing properties. After cleansing, it is worth washing the skin with a toner, which restores its natural pH. Reach for the Facial Cleansing Foam or Facial Cleansing Gel . Moisturizing and protection In winter, the skin needs intensive hydration and protection against moisture loss. The key is to use moisturizing creams with added substances such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin or urea. Equally important are emollients, which create a protective barrier on the skin, preventing water from evaporating. Creams for winter should have a richer consistency and contain nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, avocado oil or ceramides. For the day, it is worth choosing products with a UV filter, because solar radiation affects the skin also in winter, especially when staying in the snow. Lip and eye area protection The delicate skin around the eyes and lips requires special care. It is best to use balms with natural oils and waxes on the lips, which protect against chapping. In the eye area, it is worth using creams with regenerating properties, which prevent drying and the formation of fine wrinkles. Regular exfoliation Although winter skin is more sensitive, gentle exfoliation once a week helps remove dead skin cells and improve nutrient absorption. Enzymatic exfoliators are a better choice during this time than mechanical exfoliators, which can irritate the skin. Additional support In winter, it is worth including nourishing and regenerating masks in your care, which intensively moisturize and soothe irritations. It is also good to take care of proper hydration of the body and a diet rich in vitamins A, C and E, which support skin regeneration. AVOID THIS IN YOUR WINTER SKIN CARE Aggressive cleansing products Products containing strong detergents, such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or denatured alcohol, can dry out your skin and weaken its natural protective barrier. Instead, choose gentle, pH-neutral cleansers. Hot water Washing your face with hot water, especially on cold days, causes dryness and additional irritation. It is better to use lukewarm water, which will not damage the skin's protective hydrolipid layer. No protection against frost and wind Unprotected skin exposed to low temperatures and wind can become red and irritated. Always apply a fatty or semi-fat sunscreen before going outside and protect your face with a scarf or bandana. Too much exfoliation Mechanical peels with sharp particles can damage delicate epidermis, especially in winter, when skin is more sensitive. Opt for enzymatic peels or very gentle exfoliating products, used no more than once a week. Lack of humidity in heated rooms Dry air in homes and offices, resulting from central heating, quickly dehydrates the skin. Avoid staying in overheated rooms and ensure the appropriate air humidity, e.g. with a humidifier. Neglecting UV protection UV radiation also affects the skin in winter, especially in the mountains or on snow, which reflects the sun's rays. Lack of sun protection can lead to skin damage and accelerate the aging process. Use creams with SPF 30 or 50 . Wearing irritating materials Scarves, hats, or turtlenecks made of wool or synthetic fabrics can cause chafing and irritation of the skin on your face and neck. Choose soft, natural materials such as cotton or silk. Excessive use of colour cosmetics Heavy foundations and concealers can further weigh down the skin and contribute to its drying. In winter, it is worth opting for cosmetics with a lighter formula and moisturizing properties. Ignoring skin signals Winter skincare should be tailored to the needs of your skin, which can change throughout the season. Ignoring redness, flaking, or tightness can only worsen the problem. Quick action and proper care are key.

Lion's wrinkle? How to remove it?
How to remove a lion's wrinkle? This vertical furrow between the eyebrows is controversial. In women, it usually arouses a desire to immediately get rid of this questionable decoration, while in men it is considered a manifestation of an angry or assertive personality and often commands respect. However, a deep and visible wrinkle in the form of one or more furrows between the eyebrows can cause problems for some of us, which is why many people take various measures to get rid of it. What is a lion's wrinkle? Also known as a frown line, a lion's wrinkle is a vertical wrinkle (one or more) that appears between the eyebrows when we frown. We usually don't see it on a daily basis, because when we look in the mirror, we rarely frown. However, the formation of a lion's wrinkle is seen by the people we talk to. Facial expressions emphasize this problem. It is also often described as an anger wrinkle. We usually see it in the mirror when it has already formed. Causes of the lion's furrow Frowning is a completely natural element of expressing emotions, it is a natural facial expression. Sometimes we frown while studying, when we are thinking intensely about something, at work or during a conversation. A lion's furrow is caused by several factors, which can be divided into internal and external: Internal factors Facial expressions : Frequent frowning (e.g. during concentration, anger, poor vision) leads to repetitive tension of the forehead muscles and the skin between the eyebrows. The presence of a frown line may be a sign of excessive activity of the facial muscles. Skin aging : As we age, the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin decreases, making it lose its elasticity and prone to wrinkles. Genetics : The tendency to develop frown lines may be hereditary. Reduced production of hyaluronic acid : As we age, our skin loses its natural ability to retain moisture, which leads to wrinkles. External factors Stress : Frequent stress leads to tension in the muscles responsible for frowning. UV Radiation : Excessive exposure to the sun weakens collagen fibers and accelerates skin aging. Cigarette smoking : The chemicals in cigarette smoke accelerate the skin aging process. Improper skin care : Neglecting hydration, lack of sun protection or using irritating cosmetics can contribute to the loss of skin elasticity. Lack of sleep and hydration : Lack of skin regeneration and dehydration can increase the appearance of wrinkles. How to get rid of the lion's wrinkle - aesthetic medicine Aesthetic medicine treatments are a variety of methods for effectively reducing wrinkles, adjusted to the depth of the furrow and the patient's expectations. Here are the most popular: Botulinum toxin treatments Getting rid of the lion's wrinkle with botulinum toxin gives results after just 3-7 days and lasts for 3-6 months. Botox blocks neuromuscular transmission, which causes relaxation of the muscles responsible for the lion's wrinkle. It is a minimally invasive procedure, but if Botox is used incorrectly, the face can look like a mask. Filling wrinkles with hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic acid is designed to fill the lion's wrinkle by moisturizing and firming the skin, improving its structure. Hyaluronic acid injections are a safe procedure. Hyaluronic acid in cosmetics should be used as a complementary care. Treatment with hyaluronic acid gives effects visible immediately after the procedure, and they last for 6-18 months. It can be used for deep furrows, when botox alone is not enough. Eliminating the lion's wrinkle with lifting threads A treatment with a long-lasting effect - 12-24 months. Thin dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten the skin in the area between the eyebrows. This treatment gives immediate tightening, and the full effect is visible after a few weeks. It is a lifting treatment for people with deeper wrinkles, requiring more intensive improvement. Needle or microneedle mesotherapy Hyaluronic acid, peptides or vitamins are introduced into the skin to improve its hydration and firmness. The presence of a lion's wrinkle is less noticeable after several treatments. Needle mesotherapy is a good solution as a prevention of the formation of a lion's wrinkle or reducing its visibility in the initial period. Fractional CO2 Laser Perfect for people with visible wrinkles and general loss of skin elasticity. These are often performed treatments when the presence of a lion's wrinkle persists for a long time. Fractional CO2 laser stimulates deep skin regeneration, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, while smoothing wrinkles. The effects are visible after a few weeks, lasting for many months. Microneedle radiofrequency A minimally invasive procedure preferred by people who do not like strong interference in the skin. A combination of micro-punctures and skin heating with radio waves, which stimulates its regeneration and tightening. Micro-needle radiofrequency reduces wrinkles and improves the overall firmness of the facial skin, and its effects last for 12-24 months. Often the best results are achieved by combining several methods, e.g. Botox to relax the muscles and hyaluronic acid to fill deep wrinkles. How to get rid of the lion's wrinkle with home remedies Reducing the visibility of the lion's wrinkle with home remedies is possible, especially in the case of delicate wrinkles and initial furrows. Although the effects will not be as spectacular as after aesthetic medicine treatments, regular activities can improve skin elasticity and reduce muscle tension. Self-massage to remove the lion's wrinkle First, an important note – during the massage, do not stretch the skin too much. The fingers and facial skin must be clean, and for massaging the area of the lion's wrinkle, you can use, for example , natural oil , which will enhance the effect of the therapy. The forehead between the eyebrows, i.e. the place where a facial wrinkle already exists or may appear, should be massaged with the fingertips of both hands. First, you need to place the fingers of both hands exactly in the middle of the forehead between the eyebrows and then massage with a pulsating movement towards the outer part of the forehead. The next step of the self-massage is to pinch the wrinkle quite hard along - as if you wanted to push it outward. A good idea for eliminating the vertical furrow between the eyebrows is a daily facial massage with a make-up removal oil. Facial exercises (facial yoga) These exercises strengthen the muscles of the face and help relax tense areas. Place your index fingers on your eyebrows, pressing lightly. Try to frown, resisting the pressure of your fingers. Repeat 10-15 times a day. Facial yoga is a popular exercise that you can find on YouTube. Skin hydration Well-moisturized skin is more elastic and less prone to wrinkle formation. Facial skin care with cosmetics with hyaluronic acid , tremella or snail slime gives amazing effects. Acid peels Safe, home-use acid peels are available in stores. Acids exfoliate the epidermis, stimulating skin renewal and reducing fine lines. This peel improves skin texture and reduces the visibility of shallow wrinkles. This is a non-invasive procedure, but effective in the early stages of a facial wrinkle, when aesthetic medicine should not necessarily save us. Modern ingredients - peptides Peptides are a great choice for wrinkle prevention, especially if you want to improve your skin without invasive procedures. They are one of the most effective ingredients in anti-wrinkle cosmetics, including for reducing frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows). Thanks to their regenerative and skin-firming properties, peptides can help smooth out these deep wrinkles. Other methods to remove the lion's wrinkle Reduction of lion's wrinkle with mimic patches There are special rigid patches available on the market, called mimic patches. They are stuck on between the eyebrows and are designed to immobilize the skin in this area. The mechanism of their action is simple - sticking on the patch makes us feel it and therefore does not wrinkle the skin. The patches can also be used at night. They are often soaked in substances that are supposed to have an additional positive effect on the skin. But in reality, their action is based mainly on immobilizing the skin and, over time, unlearning the reflex of wrinkling the eyebrows. Getting Rid of the Lion's Wrinkle Using Kinesiology Tapes Kinesiology tapes are soft and instead of stiffening the skin, they are supposed to cause muscle relaxation. Additionally, they can effectively help reduce swelling. You can combine both methods and use the plasters interchangeably with the tapes. Gua sha or roller massage A good way to reduce the visibility of the lion's wrinkle and at the same time improve the entire oval of the face is a gua sha massage or Gua sha massage is performed with jade stones. Such massages should be used in accordance with the instructions of professionals, who can teach us how to properly guide the device to achieve the intended effect. How to Remove Wrinkles Between Eyebrows with Natural Cosmetics The area between the eyebrows is a place that we often forget about during care. It is omitted both during peelings and when applying creams - we do not apply eye creams or face creams to this area. We also often forget to massage the vertical wrinkle between the eyebrows. This can have a significant impact on the rate of wrinkle formation and deepening. The skin in this area of the face is not particularly sensitive, so a good solution will be a gua sha massage or manual massage with facial oil. Such a massage prevents the formation of wrinkles. So, before we decide on aesthetic medicine, let's massage our wrinkles! It is also worth doing intensive peelings, which will exfoliate the skin well and thus reduce the depth of wrinkles. The best seems to be Acid Peeling, and for sensitive skin Enzymatic Peeling . The ideal cosmetic for facial wrinkles is a peptide serum, which is usually used under the eyes and on the eyelids. Our tests have shown that this serum is extremely effective in reducing the lion's wrinkle. The Serum Ampoule Rejuvenation is equally effective. Additionally, of course, let's apply natural creams to the lion's wrinkle, which we use day and night. It's best to use strongly moisturizing ones because facial wrinkles are more visible on dry skin. How to remove a lion's wrinkle? This vertical furrow between the eyebrows is controversial.

Ashwagandha what is it?
Ashwagandha (Latin: Withania somnifera ), also known as "Indian ginseng" or "winter cherry," is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Its name comes from the Sanskrit words for "horse scent" ( ashwa - horse, gandha - scent), which may refer both to the root's characteristic aroma and to its ability to give the body strength and vitality. Ashwagandha is a shrub that grows primarily in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. The most prized part of the plant is its root, which has numerous medicinal properties. Modern scientific research confirms many of its traditional uses, which has contributed to the increasing popularity of the plant around the world. Where does it grow and what does it look like? It is a plant native to South Asia, primarily in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It grows wild in temperate areas such as steppes, deserts, and mountainous regions. Ashwagandha is also cultivated in other regions of the world, including the United States, Europe, Australia, and Africa, where the climate and soil conditions are suitable. However, the largest amounts of ashwagandha still come from its native habitat in India. The ashwagandha plant typically grows to a height of 30 to 150 centimeters. Its leaves are large, fleshy and oval, about 10-12 centimeters long. They are arranged alternately on the stem. The color of the leaves can be green to light green. The stem of ashwagandha is thick, woody and branched. It may have characteristic white hairs or warts. Ashwagandha has bell-shaped flowers that are greenish-yellow to light yellow. The flowers are small, about 6-8 millimeters long, and grow in clusters at the ends of the stems. After flowering, ashwagandha forms spherical, orange berries about 1-1.5 centimeters in diameter. The berries contain numerous, tiny seeds. It is worth noting that the described appearance of ashwagandha may vary slightly depending on the growing conditions and variety. Ashwagandha is often cultivated as a medicinal plant and used for its many health benefits .

Reishi Mushrooms – A Treasure of Eastern Medicine
reishi mushrooms - health benefits Reishi mushrooms ( Ganoderma lucidum ), also known as the “mushroom of immortality,” are one of the oldest and most revered elements of traditional Eastern medicine. Their use dates back more than 2,000 years in China, Japan, and Korea, where they were used as a health tonic to support longevity, immunity, and body balance. Modern scientific research confirms many of these traditional beliefs, indicating their broad therapeutic potential. REISHI MUSHROOMS properties Reishi mushrooms are mushrooms with a characteristic appearance, having a varnished, reddish-brown cap surface. The chemical composition of Reishi mushrooms includes bioactive compounds such as: Polysaccharides : known for their immunomodulatory effects. Triterpenoids : with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Peptidoglycans , sterols , and adenosine , which support cardiovascular health. These compounds make Reishi mushrooms one of the most versatile adaptogens – substances that help the body adapt to stress. Despite its wide range of beneficial properties, the use of reishi mushroom requires caution. Reishi mushroom side effects may include allergic reactions, nausea, and in rare cases, gastrointestinal disorders. Reishi mushroom contraindications mainly concern people taking anticoagulants, pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is important to consult a doctor before starting supplementation or using cosmetics containing reishi lingzhi . The Effects of Reishi Mushrooms on Health Immunomodulating effect Reishi mushrooms are known for their immune-supporting properties. Studies show that the polysaccharides in these mushrooms stimulate the activity of macrophages and T lymphocytes. For example, Chen et al. (2014) confirmed in model studies that Reishi polysaccharides increase the production of cytokines such as interleukins and interferons, which are key to the immune response. Anti-cancer properties Scientific literature indicates the potential anticancer effects of Reishi mushrooms. Studies conducted by Gao et al. (2012) showed that triterpenoids inhibit cancer cell proliferation, especially in the case of breast and prostate cancers. This mechanism is related to the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death) and a decrease in angiogenesis. Support for cardiovascular health The adenosine in Reishi relaxes blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure. In addition, polysaccharides can reduce LDL cholesterol levels, which helps prevent atherosclerosis. Clinical studies conducted in Japan (Takashi et al., 2017) suggest that supplementation with Reishi mushroom extract for 12 weeks improves endothelial function in people with hypertension. Reducing stress and improving sleep quality Reishi mushrooms are also valued for their adaptogenic effects. Extracts from these mushrooms reduce cortisol levels in the body, helping to cope with chronic stress. In addition, compounds present in the mushrooms can modulate the activity of the nervous system, which helps to improve the quality of sleep. A study conducted by Wang et al. (2018) showed that people supplementing with Reishi mushrooms noted a 30% improvement in the duration and quality of sleep. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects Reishi mushrooms reduce oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation. This makes them a promising tool in preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. popularity and application Reishi mushrooms are extremely popular in Asia, especially in China and Japan, where they are an integral part of traditional medicine. In powdered form or as extracts, Reishi mushrooms have also gained recognition in the West, especially among proponents of natural medicine and adaptogens. These products are widely available in health food stores, in capsules, powders, and also infusions. In Japan and Korea, Reishi is also used as an ingredient in cosmetics, thanks to its antioxidant and regenerative properties. reishi mushrooms in cosmetics It is worth mentioning Reishi mushrooms as ingredients in creams , masks and serums for skin care, where their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are used. The prices of such cosmetics are very high. In Asia, they are a valued ingredient in rejuvenating face creams . They work well as a strong active ingredient in serums or boosters . When combined with retinol or ceramides , for example, they give great effects on the skin. Eye cosmetics with reishi mushrooms additionally reinforced with peptides are wonderful supporting ingredients. Reishi mushrooms also add energy to the skin, regenerate it and beautifully smooth it. Reishi Orientana cosmetics are an excellent choice for those who value natural care and effective solutions inspired by Asian tradition. Orientana reishi cream and other products from this line combine the beneficial effects of reishi mushroom with innovative formulas, providing comprehensive skin care for every day. Orientana Reishi Day Cream One of the most popular products of the brand. Orientana reishi day cream is light, perfectly moisturizes the skin and protects it from the negative impact of external factors.

Extracts are standardized for their content of bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides and triterpenoids. Their advantages include precise dosing, ease of use (anywhere and anytime), and longer storage period. Particularly preferred in the West, where convenience and standardized quality are valued. Powder Reishi mushroom powder is made by drying and grinding the fruiting bodies or mycelium. It can be a pure powder or a powdered extract with a higher concentration of active ingredients. In this form, reishi mushrooms can be added to drinks (e.g. water, coffee, tea) or meals. Often also used in smoothies or as an ingredient in baked goods. Reishi mushroom powder can have many uses, but the intense, bitter taste may not suit everyone. Teas and infusions Reishi mushrooms are available as dried slices or as a powder for brewing. They can be made into a tea, but it has a characteristic bitter taste. This is a traditional way of consumption, especially popular in Asia. It can be combined with other ingredients, such as honey or ginger, to improve the taste. In this way, reishi mushrooms are consumed as a ritual to support relaxation and improve immunity. Liquid extracts and tinctures These are concentrated forms of supplements in liquid form, often prepared with alcohol to maintain the stability and effectiveness of the active ingredients. Such forms are easy to dose (a few drops added to a drink) and good for people who have difficulty swallowing capsules. The disadvantage is the intense taste and a small amount of alcohol. Coffee and cocoa with Reishi Products such as coffee, cocoa or latte enriched with Reishi mushroom extract are becoming increasingly popular, especially among people looking for functional drinks. The advantage is the combination of the effects of Reishi mushrooms with the natural energy of coffee or cocoa. The taste is also quite pleasant compared to traditional forms.

Their versatile properties are supported by both traditional uses and modern scientific research. Although most research results are promising, further clinical trials on large groups are needed to fully determine their therapeutic potential.

Red Panda and Orientana - what connects them? Discover 4 cosmetics from the Hello Papaja series!
How is the red panda connected to the Orientana brand? Orientana is a brand of natural cosmetics with extracts from Asian plants. It was created out of a fascination with the nature of Asia. In addition to producing natural cosmetics that care for the body and senses, we also have an educational mission. We want to tell you what species of animals may soon become extinct and how you can help. We decided that our natural cosmetics series called Hello would of course be vegan and not tested on animals, but would also take care of Asian animals threatened with extinction. On the packaging of the cosmetics we placed a drawing of an endangered Asian animal, and the next step was financial support related to real help for this species. In the case of the Hello Papaya series, it is a red panda. What does a red panda look like? The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also known as the "red panda" or "little panda," is an adorable mammal that inhabits the mountainous forests of Asia, primarily in Nepal, China, Burma, Bhutan, and northeastern India. Although often associated with its popular black-and-white cousin, the giant panda, the red panda is an entirely separate species that belongs to its own family, Ailuridae. Red pandas are relatively small: their body length is around 50–60 cm, and their fluffy tail can be up to 50 cm long. Agile and excellent climbers, red pandas have thick, rusty-brown fur that protects them from the cold of the mountain forests. The tail not only serves as a barrier against the cold, but also helps maintain balance when climbing. Thanks to its appearance and behavior, the red panda has gained popularity as one of the most adorable and friendly species in the world. How many pandas are there in the world? There are fewer than 10,000 of them. The population of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) has declined significantly since the 1980s. In 1980, the number of these animals was estimated at around 20,000–25,000 individuals in the wild. There are now 10,000 and this number is decreasing. The red panda inhabits highland forests, often at altitudes between 2,200 and 4,800 meters above sea level. It chooses places with dense vegetation, full of bamboo – the main element of its diet. In addition to bamboo, the red panda also eats fruits, berries, leaves and, occasionally, insects and small vertebrates. It leads a solitary life, is active mainly at dusk and dawn. Unfortunately, the red panda is currently listed as an endangered species (category “Vulnerable” according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN). One of the biggest threats to these animals is deforestation, which leads to the loss of their natural habitat. Another problem is poaching – red panda fur is sought on the black market, and the animals are also illegally captured for illegal trade. In addition, there is habitat fragmentation, climate change, and diseases transmitted through contact with humans and pets. How can we help and what did Orientana do? Orientana contacted the most well-known and trusted organization, Red Panda Network (RPN). It is a non-profit organization founded in 2007 that is dedicated to the protection of the red panda and its natural habitat. Their mission is to protect the panda from extinction through conservation activities and monitoring of the panda habitat, but also in terms of education and involvement of local communities Since its establishment, the Red Panda Network has implemented numerous projects in Nepal, where the red panda is most abundant, although it is seriously endangered. The organization works with local communities to educate and engage them in activities to protect this extremely valuable species. The Red Panda Network is a habitat protection organization, working with local authorities and landowners to protect forest areas and prevent their logging. The RPN regularly conducts population surveys of the red panda in Nepal, which allows for a better understanding of the numbers and health of these animals. The organization conducts educational programs in Nepalese schools and villages, which aim to raise awareness of the importance of nature conservation and the impact of their actions on the life of the red panda. The Red Panda Network engages local residents by creating training programs for the so-called "Forest Guardians" - field guards who monitor red panda habitats, record signs of poachers' presence and inform about possible threats. Red panda and palm oil – a tragic combination! Do the cosmetics you buy contain palm oil? Please check. Orientana does not use this ingredient in its cosmetics, but believe me, large international cosmetic brands do and even have factories of this oil in Asia. Palm oil is the most commonly used oil in the world. It is found in many everyday products, a key raw material for the food market, and an ingredient in cosmetics such as soap or toothpaste. The growing demand for palm oil poses a threat to the natural environment. Valuable natural areas in Southeast Asia are being destroyed for new plantations. The destruction of tropical forests for palm oil plantations leads to a loss of biodiversity and threatens many animal species, such as the orangutan, the Sumatran elephant and the red panda. Jungle forests are being burned to make room for industrial palm oil plantations. Most often, this is the result of illegal arson. Additionally, when forests are burned, greenhouse gas emissions increase many times over, which significantly contributes to climate change. Red pandas are dying, and if some survive, they no longer have their habitats and food. Around the world, conservation organizations are looking for solutions to the problem of deforestation for palm oil plantations. Our red panda Pinju on the Hello Papaja series packaging. In September 2024, the month of the Hello Papaya series premiere, we adopted a panda named Pinju. Pinju lives in the red panda conservation area called Panchthar-Ilam-Singhalila, located in eastern Nepal. He is a young male. He eats bamboo and also likes mountain ash berries from mountain ash trees. He is a bouncy mammal, likes to roam in the branches of trees. He is often spotted by the river. You can find a drawing of a red panda in the vitamin C series - HELLO PAPAJA: Hello Papaja Vitamin C Serum Brightening Discolorations 30 ml Energizing Day Cream with Vitamin C Hello Papaya 40 ml Hello Papaya Micro-Exfoliating Night Cream with Vitamin C 40 ml Brightening cream-mask with vitamin C HELLO PAPAJA 40 ml We want to talk about it and we want you to know from us that this beautiful animal, which we often see in cute illustrations or as a mascot, is actually being destroyed by humans. You might not like a post on TikTok, IG, or Facebook about a cute panda happily eating a banana in someone's home. This is usually an animal that has been kidnapped from the jungle, smuggled, and sold. It lives in captivity. Perhaps when you are in Asia you will protest when someone mentions the hunting of red pandas. Maybe you will give up visiting a red panda "sanctuary" which offers contact with the animal as an attraction for tourists, suggesting to feed and pet it. In reality these animals are held in captivity and people benefit from it. You may want to stop supporting brands that are listed on ethicalconsumer.org’s August 2023 list as using a lot of palm oil, some with factories in Asia. The list includes Dove, L’Oreal, Bahlsen, L’Occitane, Head and Shoulders, Pampers, Always, Clarins, Bull Dog, Nestlé, Aesop, Caffè Nero, Domino’s Pizza, Colgate-Palmolive, Max Factor, Wella. The full list here RED PANDA NETWORK - ACTIVITIES Forest Guardians Program One of the most important RPN programs is the Forest Guardians initiative. This project trains local residents to become wildlife rangers who monitor red panda habitats. The rangers are able to respond quickly to threats such as illegal logging, as well as report any signs of poaching. The Forest Rangers play a key role in protecting the red panda habitat. This not only allows for strengthening nature conservation, but also for engaging local residents in environmental activities. The Rangers also support scientific research – they collect data on the red panda population, which is used by researchers to assess the effectiveness of conservation activities. Educational Activities – Building Awareness Red Panda Network places great emphasis on environmental education. Working in local communities, the organization teaches children and adults about the importance of protecting the red panda and its environment. Through workshops, lectures and educational programs, RPN builds environmental awareness, which influences changes in behavior and attitudes towards nature. Cooperation with government and international organizations Red Panda Network also works with the Nepalese government and international conservation organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Through these collaborations, the organization can scale its operations and influence environmental policy. In 2018, the Nepalese government officially declared “National Red Panda Conservation Day,” which is a great achievement for the Nepalese National Red Panda Conservation Day and the result of many years of educational efforts. Thanks to this initiative, the protection of the red panda has become a higher priority for the authorities and the wider local community. RED PANDA - Challenges and Future of Conservation Despite the increased work to save the red panda, we still face many challenges. Climate change is affecting the weather in the region, which is leading to reduced food availability and changing the habitat of the red panda. Increasing population and infrastructure development are also increasing pressure on ecosystems. There is still the problem of palm oil and displacement of pandas, and the problem of poaching and trade. Therefore, we must be aware that this also depends on us.

cosmetics for fall - 10 rules
Why it's worth changing cosmetics for autumn Fall is the perfect time to adjust your skincare routine to the changing weather conditions and skin needs. After the summer, when our skin may have been exposed to the sun, high temperatures and excessive UV radiation, the skin requires special care to restore its balance. In addition, preparing the skin for the coming winter is also crucial to maintaining its healthy and radiant appearance. The focus in autumn facial care should be on the following activities. autumn cosmetics for face washing Fall is a good time to review your cleansing products. After the summer, when you could use stronger cleansers or random facial cleansing products available in your holiday destinations, it is worth switching to gentler formulas. If you haven't done so yet, start using gentle gels or foams in the fall that effectively remove impurities without damaging the skin's natural protective barrier. Basic cosmetics for fall should not contain SLS or other strong detergents. Cleanse your face with a gentle face gel . Remember, if you use a sunscreen or apply make-up, it is necessary to first wash with a make-up removal oil. AUTUMN - deep cleansing time to start Summer may have left your skin discoloured, with dead cells or unevenness. Facial peels are perfect cosmetics for autumn. It's time to use peels. You can choose between enzyme peels (which are more delicate) and acid peels, such as the Peeling from the hello Daktyl series , which will help regenerate and even out the skin tone. Use peels once or twice a week to avoid irritating the skin. gentle exfoliation At this time of year, gentle exfoliation is important, and fall cosmetics that you can safely use every day are the Micro-Exfoliating Night Cream with Vitamin C and Plant Enzymes . You can also make such a cosmetic from fresh fruits rich in AHA acids. AHA acids, such as lactic or citric acid, have a gentle exfoliating effect. You can use natural sources of these acids, such as milk, yogurt, or lemon. Mix 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt with a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10-15 minutes (if you have sensitive skin, start with 5 minutes). Rinse off with lukewarm water. should autumn cosmetics be moisturizing? After the summer, the skin is dehydrated and requires intensive hydration. Choose richer moisturizing creams that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils and butters, trehalose. Start the Serum Ampoule Moisturizing treatment. Its active ingredients help retain moisture in the skin and strengthen its natural protective barrier. TIME FOR RETINOL Fall is also a great time to introduce retinol into your skincare routine if you don’t already use it. Retinol cosmetics are ideal cosmetics for fall. Retinol is an effective anti-aging ingredient that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. It also helps reduce discoloration left over from summer. Retinol is usually introduced gradually, starting with lower concentrations to avoid irritation. However, it is worth replacing regular retinol with H10 retinol . This is a non-irritating hydrogenated retinol. Start using vitamin c serum Vitamin C is another important ingredient that supports skin regeneration and lightens discolorations. This is especially important after the summer, when the skin may have been excessively tanned. Use a serum with vitamin C in the morning to protect the skin from free radicals and improve its appearance. It is best to choose mild and stable forms of vitamin C, such as ethyl vitamin C. You will find it in the Hello Papaja brightening serum. even in autumn remember about sun protection Even though autumn brings less sunlight, UV protection is still important. Use sunscreen with SPF to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays, which can lead to premature skin aging and discoloration. VITAMIN AND nourishing masks Vitamin and nourishing masks can be a great addition to autumn care. Choose those that provide the skin with essential vitamins and minerals, and also have a regenerating and strengthening effect. If your skin feels discomfort caused by changes in temperature or wind, it is worth using the Hello Daktyl nourishing mask. autumn cosmetics rich in antioxidants Antioxidants, such as green tea, help protect the skin from harmful environmental factors. It is worth introducing them into your routine to support the skin's natural defense mechanisms and counteract the effects of oxidative stress. The Antioxidation Serum Ampoule with ashwagandha, Asian pennywort and schisandra will be helpful. your skin doesn't like the heating season In the fall, skin often becomes drier and more sensitive not only due to changing weather conditions, such as colder air, wind, and lower humidity, but also due to the start of the heating season. The heating season usually has an adverse effect on the skin, especially when staying in rooms with radiators on. Heating leads to a significant decrease in air humidity, which can cause various skin problems. Dry air Heating significantly reduces the humidity in the air, which causes the skin to lose water faster than usual. This can lead to dry skin, flaking and a feeling of tightness. The skin naturally produces a protective barrier of lipids that prevent moisture loss and protect against pollutants and external factors. Dry air weakens this barrier, which can lead to increased sensitivity, irritation and cracking of the skin, especially on the hands and lips. Dry air can worsen existing skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, and dry skin is more likely to crack and itch. It can worsen the signs of psoriasis, as a lack of moisture can exacerbate skin lesions. Excessive dryness can cause the body to produce more sebum in response, which can lead to acne flare-ups. Temperature changes – e.g. from cool outside air to warm indoor air – can lead to blood vessels dilating and bursting, which manifests itself as redness and permanent "spider veins" on the skin. Specialist care must then step in. We recommend the Kali Musli series for sensitive, vascular and irritated skin. Day cream , night cream and enzymatic peeling will take excellent care of skin with the above-mentioned symptoms. how to protect your skin during the heating season Air humidification Using a humidifier in your home or office can help increase humidity and reduce dry skin. The optimum humidity should be around 40-60%. Drinking more water It’s easy to forget to hydrate during the colder months, but drinking water is key to keeping your skin hydrated. In the fall, it’s best to drink warm water with lemon or warm herbal teas. Avoiding hot baths While hot showers and baths may be tempting in the colder months, they can also dry out your skin. It’s better to use lukewarm water and gentle, moisturizing cleansers. COSMETICS for fall that will HELP US MAKE THIS TIME OF YEAR BETTER Fall, although loved by some for its colors and atmosphere, can be a difficult season for those who feel low mood, tired or melancholic due to shorter days and colder weather. Aromatherapy is a great way to bring a bit of warmth and comfort to these months, and scents can help improve well-being and introduce positive energy.

orientana hello dactyl - 7 cosmetics
The Orientana Hello Daktyl series consists of seven cosmetics and a scented candle. The idea behind this series was to use a fruit used in menus as a cosmetic ingredient. Orientana Hello Date – cosmetics with dates Date cosmetics draw on the wealth of nutrients contained in this fruit, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids. Date extracts, date palm kernel oil and other ingredients obtained from this plant are often used in skin and hair care products due to their moisturizing, regenerating and anti-aging properties. Orientana Hello Date is the first series with this ingredient in Europe. Where does the date come from? The date, or fruit of the date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera ), comes from the Middle East and North Africa, where it has been a staple of the diet for thousands of years. Dates are particularly abundant in countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq. The date palm grows best in a dry and hot climate. Date palms can also be grown in India. orientana hello date - ingredient from india Although India is not traditionally a major producer of dates, the fruit is important there, especially in desert regions such as Rajasthan and Gujarat. India imports a large quantity of dates from Middle Eastern countries, but local production is also growing. Dates in India are grown in places where the climate is conducive to dry and heat-resistant plants, and experiments are underway to adapt them to local conditions. The impact of dates on human health Dates are a very valuable nutritional product, and their regular consumption brings health benefits. Dates are an excellent source of fiber, which supports the proper functioning of the digestive system, preventing constipation and improving metabolism. Dates provide important vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, as well as B vitamins, which support a healthy nervous system and help with energy production. Due to their high content of simple sugars (fructose and glucose), dates are an excellent source of energy, making them a popular choice in the diet of athletes. Dates are rich in calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which support bone health and can prevent diseases such as osteoporosis. High in potassium and low in sodium, dates can help regulate blood pressure and support heart health. Due to the presence of antioxidants, dates may have anti-inflammatory effects, which helps protect the body against chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. orientana hello dactyl - how does this ingredient affect the skin Dates support skin health thanks to their properties. They contain antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which help fight free radicals, slowing down the skin's aging processes. Date is a rich source of vitamins. Date is rich in B vitamins (B5, B6), which support skin regeneration, help maintain its moisture and elasticity. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is particularly valuable because it supports cell regeneration and wound healing. The presence of vitamins C and D supports skin health and elasticity, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin A supports skin regeneration, helps fight acne and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It also affects sebum production, which helps maintain proper skin hydration. Moreover, this fruit is rich in copper, and copper supports the synthesis of melanin, which is important for maintaining a healthy skin tone and protection from UV radiation. Copper also supports the production of collagen and elastin. Date oil and its extracts are used in cosmetics for their moisturizing and skin nourishing properties. what cosmetics can we find in the orientana hello daktyl series GENTLE FACE WASH GEL, 125ml A mild gel without SLS and other aggressive sulphates.
