WHAT NATURAL COSMETICS TO CHOOSE FOR OILY SKIN
HOW TO RECOGNIZE OILY SKIN There are many myths and irregularities in the care of oily skin, also known as seborrheic skin. We will try to bring this topic closer to you in order to provide full cosmetic knowledge that will help prevent and control the symptoms of oily skin. Most conventional cosmetics for oily skin are full of chemical ingredients. Oily skin is capricious and does not like chemicals. Drugstore cosmetics dedicated to oily skin contain alcohol. It is supposed to dry out oily skin on the surface, but when used for a long time, it is harmful and causes severe drying of the skin, which still produces sebum. The problem of oily skin will not be solved by using conventional face wash gels and liquids containing strong detergents such as SLS / SLES / ALS. They cause skin disorders and often lead to inflammation, manifested by itching, among other things. People with oily skin should therefore avoid conventional cleansers and replace them with natural face wash cosmetics without detergents. Oily skin is not only a problem for teenagers, but also for people of mature age. This is due to environmental pollution, constant skin contact with omnipresent chemicals, hormonal changes and a stressful lifestyle. Diet often has an impact on the complexion. Too many sweets and hot spices of chemical origin cause oily skin and problems with inflammation in the form of red spots. Our dermoconsultants will help you recognize oily skin during dermoconsultations. You can find out where such dermoconsultations take place from the information published on our Facebook page. During the dermoconsultation, our specialist not only examines the skin but also asks questions that will help determine the skin type after analyzing it. Natural cosmetics will be a perfect solution to the problems of oily skin. We can also recognize oily skin ourselves. It has an earthy, grayish color with a yellow tint. It is thick, has enlarged pores and visible blackheads. It is often covered with inflammation, small wounds and lumps. It may have pimples of bacterial origin, acne or fungal infections. Oily skin shines due to excessive sebum production. It is not afraid of winter, but looks worse in summer. Remember, however, that excessive sebum secretion may be caused by genetics, a poor diet and a poor metabolism. Hormonal changes, stress, some medications and an inactive lifestyle can also cause the skin to become very oily. PROPER CARE OF OILY SKIN – NATURAL COSMETICS AND THEIR ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Proper care of oily skin involves using the right active ingredients found in natural cosmetics. The best plant-based ingredients for oily skin care are: Neem (Indian Neem) Turmeric Philippine algae Mulberry Aloe Tea tree In case of severe symptoms of oily skin, severe inflammation and acne scars, you should consider using cosmetics with snail slime. The best choice here will be Bio Mask Essence Snail Slime and Mask made of natural silk Snail Slime. Orientana natural cosmetics offer lines with snail slime with the highest degree of naturalness on the Polish market. The above active ingredients guarantee antibacterial, anti-inflammatory effects, regulate sebum secretion and soothe the skin. Those with oily skin should remember that only systematic use of cosmetics with active substances will give the desired effects. In addition, it is important to ensure the synergistic effect of natural cosmetics, the purpose of which is to improve the condition of oily skin. Therefore, it is best to use one cosmetic brand for seborrheic skin, so that the subsequent steps in care are combined and do not interfere with each other's actions.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE FORMATION OF ACNE It might seem that the problem of acne only affects young people, but over 70% of the population between the ages of 11 and 30 struggle with the problem of skin imperfections. There are many reasons for the development of acne and the first step in the fight for beautiful skin should be to determine the source of the problem, i.e. the reason why imperfections do not want to leave us. The most common cause of acne is the incomplete cleansing of the skin from everyday impurities, such as sebum, dust or remnants of makeup, which clog the outlets of hair follicles in our skin, resulting in imperfections. The Natural Cleansing Ritual is great for thorough facial cleansing, which includes Nourishing Bio Makeup Remover Oil with Neem, which will dissolve impurities that remain on our skin after the whole day, and the Moisturizing Bio Face Wash Foam from Japan, will wash away the remnants of oil, thanks to which our skin will be thoroughly cleansed. Frequent touching of the face also causes the transfer of impurities and various bacteria from the hands to the skin, which also contributes to the formation of imperfections, mainly on the jawline or forehead. It is worth paying attention to whether we do not do this, because this problem will be easiest for us to eliminate. Another cause of skin changes is a bad diet. Excess sugar or hot spices promote the formation of ugly changes on our skin, but preservatives have the worst effect. It is worth taking care of your diet if you dream of radiant skin without imperfections. All you need to do is eliminate sweets, carbonated drinks and fast food from your diet and add natural cosmetics to it, and you will quickly notice not only beneficial changes in your figure, but also in the appearance of your complexion. Excess stress not only destroys our skin but also our health, so let's make sure to limit it as much as we can. Let's find a moment during the day, just for ourselves, to relax or have a home spa with natural cosmetics . Putting on your favorite music and relaxing after a long day with a face mask, e.g. Philippine Algae and Aloe Natural Silk Mask, will help not only us, but also our skin. The most difficult thing to win the fight against acne is if its basis comes from hormonal imbalance. Acne caused by hormonal problems is different from traditional acne because it is located deep in the skin, is painful and can last for several months! If you suspect that your acne is hormonal, you should first go to a dermatologist and an endocrinologist, because it is usually the thyroid that plays such unpleasant tricks on us. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ACNE Not all acne are the same, so to fight it effectively, we must first know the enemy well. There are many types of acne, but it is easiest to divide it into: Non-inflammatory acne – these are comedones that can be closed, in the form of white dots, or open, in the form of black dots – also called blackheads. Inflammatory acne – it is formed when the wall of the hair follicle (in the middle of which the blackhead is located) is torn. This usually happens when we try to squeeze out small imperfections appearing on our skin, damaging its structure and facilitating access for impurities and bacteria, as a result of which the “innocent” blackheads turn into pimples that are harder to deal with. WHAT NATURAL INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR IN COSMETICS FOR ACNE SKIN? Acne skin needs to be cared for delicately, because too much exposure to strong detergents will worsen its condition, because we will dry the skin too much, as a result of which it will become more oily and the acne problem will worsen, therefore the best solution will be to reach for natural cosmetics, which have a strong effect, while remaining gentle to our skin. However, what ingredients should we look for in the composition to effectively fight our greatest enemy? The best choice are natural cosmetics that contain ingredients such as: Turmeric Sandalwood Neem Green Tea Kaolin Clay Philippine Algae Snail Slime When taking care of acne-prone skin, the most important step in the entire care is thorough and gentle cleansing of the skin. Remember to remove makeup well! Exfoliation of dead skin is very important, because the remaining skin will block the outlets of hair follicles, thus contributing to an increase in the number of blackheads and pimples. If acne with severe inflammation bothers us the most, we must avoid cleansing products that contain a lot of sharp particles in their composition, so that exfoliation does not spread purulent lesions to healthy skin areas. Remember to use an appropriate toner after cleansing the skin to balance the skin's pH level. When caring for acne-prone skin with natural cosmetics, we cannot forget about proper skin hydration! Lack of proper hydration will cause it to be excessively dry, it will start to defend itself by producing more and more sebum, as a result of which acne lesions on our skin will increase. It is worth enriching the care of acne-prone skin with natural cosmetics, including masks with anti-inflammatory properties, such as the Natural Mask of Ginger and Lemongrass Clay, and in the case of oily skin – the Natural Mask of Neem and Tea Tree Clay, as well as natural cosmetics that can be applied topically, directly to the skin, such as the Hydrotherapy with Turmeric. WHAT DOES EVERYDAY CARE FOR ACNE SKIN LOOK LIKE? Morning care: cleansing the skin in the morning is just as important as in the evening, which is why we cannot skip this step! At night, our skin produces sebum, sweats and dust settles on it, which is why we cannot proceed to further care without proper cleansing in the morning. Among the natural cosmetics available for cleansing, the best one is the Moisturizing Bio Foam for Washing the Face Gurdlina Japońska. use a face toner, for combination skin – Natural Ginger and Lemongrass Face Toner, for oily skin – Natural Neem and Lemon Face Toner apply the Natural Bio Serum for the face Neem & Tulsi to your face, it has strong anti-inflammatory properties, so it is great for problematic skin, it will also reduce sebum secretion and help soothe irritations. for the day the cream should be lighter to avoid the skin from shining, therefore Hydro-Cure with Turmeric is a great solution. Its light consistency absorbs quickly, it can also be used locally, also for inflammation, but it is also perfect as a base for make-up! Evening care: removing makeup using Nourishing Neem Organic Makeup Removal Oil washing off the remnants of oil with the help of the Moisturizing Bio Foam for Washing the Face of the Japanese Gourdlina or the Natural Aloe and Papaya Face Washing Gel with rice particles - its particles are very delicate, and the papaya present in the composition of the gel will help us with discolorations remaining on the skin after acne, tone the skin with your favorite natural facial toner, in the case of combination skin Natural Ginger and Lemongrass Facial Toner - the ginger in the toner will have an anti-inflammatory effect, and if our skin is oily, Natural Neem and Lemon Facial Toner, which will normalize the work of the sebaceous glands and mattify our skin. at night we don't have to worry that our skin will shine unsightly, so let's take the opportunity to nourish it more. The Sandalwood and Turmeric Face Cream or the Rich Turmeric Cream will work great for this. Turmeric in the composition has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and will help us fight acne. We can also apply the Sandalwood and Turmeric Natural Face Oil instead of the cream. Its light consistency absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy layer, and the combination of these two ingredients will not only help us fight acne, but will also make our skin stop being gray, tired and regain its shine! With regular use, it will also help us get rid of blackheads. Two or three times a week, remember to exfoliate your skin with the Philippine Algae and Aloe Natural Gel Face Peeling and use your favorite natural face mask.

Learn moreWHAT NATURAL COSMETICS TO CHOOSE FOR MATURE SKIN
DOES MATURE SKIN REQUIRE SPECIAL NATURAL COSMETICS? Mature skin will sooner or later be the skin of every woman. This is a type of skin that is inevitably associated with the passage of time. Some women try so hard to hide the signs of their age that they decide to undergo plastic surgery, suction, fillers or injections of various types of products. This is certainly a method for mature skin, but it certainly carries many risks both in terms of the procedure itself. It is worth considering whether not to use the power of plants and minerals that natural cosmetics provide in the care of mature skin. HOW TO REMOVE MAKE-UP FROM MATURE SKIN? Certainly, an important step in the daily care of mature skin is its proper cleansing. Natural cosmetics will certainly be an ally here, because they will thoroughly remove all impurities from the skin, but will not expose it to excessive drying, which contributes to deepening wrinkles. Effective natural cosmetics make-up remover can be prepared at home. Oil-based products are very good for mature skin, as they will ensure its softness and help maintain the right elasticity. They will be perfect for both dry and oily skin, as well as sensitive skin. Simply apply a properly prepared make-up remover to the dry skin of the entire face - also to the eyelids and eyelashes. Then gently massage it into the skin and then wash it off with a cotton pad soaked in warm water. CAN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN NATURAL COSMETICS FOR MAKE-UP REMOVAL FOR MATURE SKIN? Just mix half a cup of good quality extra virgin olive oil with one tablespoon of jojoba oil. The oils should be mixed well and stored in a dark, preferably glass bottle in a cool and sunny place. Natural cosmetics based on oils intended for removing makeup can also be prepared with more exotic ingredients. Just mix two tablespoons of: extra virgin olive oil, hazelnut oil, kukui nut oil, two drops of neroli oil, two drops of rose grass oil, two drops of frankincense oil. This and other natural cosmetics based on oils should also be stored best in a dark, airtight glass container in a cool place. You can also use proven natural cosmetics for make-up removal that are also good for mature skin, such as the Nourishing Bio Make-up Remover Oil Neem - Indian Neem Orientana. WHICH NATURAL COSMETICS ARE SUITABLE FOR MAKE-UP REMOVAL FOR MATURE SKIN? With oily mature skin, you can also safely use oil-based products, but you can also prepare natural cosmetics based on water or soap. These natural cosmetics based on water (for example, various types of floral waters, distillates, herbal infusions, tinctures, fruit juices, aloe gel and the addition of glycerin or apple cider vinegar) will certainly not remove impurities from the face as well as natural cosmetics with oils. However, they can be beneficial for mature skin during periods of particular dryness or excessive sensitivity or be used to wash mature skin in the morning to remove remnants of night care. Of course, there are also special natural cosmetics based on soap, which can be created at home. By modifying their composition, you can match them to the needs of any skin, including mature skin. They are based, for example, on liquid castile soap and are added to them, among others: clay, sugar, almond flour, various types of essential oils small amounts of vegetable oils It is worth remembering that removing makeup only with micellar fluid is not a good solution for mature skin. This type of fluid only works on the skin's surface and removes only the top layer of impurities that the skin collects throughout the day, i.e. the main remnants of makeup combined with dust and environmental pollutants as well as dirt that we ourselves have transferred to the skin by touching it with our hands, hair, scarves, etc. It is important, however, to cleanse, preferably with appropriate natural cosmetics, also the inside of the pores and deeper layers of the skin. Classic soap, which some women still use, is also not a good solution and in the case of mature skin can accelerate its aging. Aggressive detergents, which can also be found in some natural cosmetics (always read the ingredients!) seriously disturb the skin's balance by destroying its hydrolipid coat, dry it out and cause wrinkles to be more visible on parchment-thin skin deprived of moisture, and the face oval loses elasticity. Therefore, it is worth choosing natural cosmetics from proven brands that contain rich plant extracts, oils and, above all, have scientifically proven beneficial effects, such as the Moisturizing Organic Face Wash Foam Kantola - Japanese Gourdlina Orientana. A very interesting proposition in the field of natural cosmetics for mature skin may be a cosmetic for self-preparation at home, which will combine effective make-up removal with proper hydration, protection and relief based on castile soap with the addition of: aloe vera gel (two tablespoons) a spoonful of finely ground oat flakes, a spoonful of argan oil, a spoonful of vegetable glycerin your favorite essential oils (e.g. rose). WHICH PEELS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR MATURE SKIN? After removing make-up, it is definitely worth taking care of proper hydration and care of mature skin, but once a week it is also worth doing a peeling. In the case of mature skin, it is good to use all stages of care not only on the face, but also on the skin of the neck and décolleté, which can reveal a woman's chronological age much more than the skin on the face beautified and retouched with make-up. The function of peeling is not only to exfoliate dead skin cells, but also to cleanse pores and stimulate skin circulation. If mature skin is in good condition, it is worth using a good quality grainy peeling once a week, which can be chosen from a wide range of natural cosmetics available on the market. Sugar-based peelings, which firm the complexion, will work perfectly. On the other hand, adding salt to all natural cosmetics for the face may work better for oily and contaminated skin. In the case of mature skin, peelings should be used a maximum of twice a week, maintaining at least a three-day break between subsequent treatments. Before applying the peeling, cleanse the face of any remnants of make-up. Then, moisten the clean skin with warm water. It is worth applying a portion of the peeling to your hands first and gently rubbing it in, and only then applying it to the skin. The cosmetic is applied to the face in a thin layer, while massaging the skin in circular motions for about 2 minutes. In the case of the Natural Creamy Papaya and Indian Ginseng Facial Peeling, it is worth leaving it on the face much longer - up to five minutes after the massage, so that papain, a natural enzyme that evens out the skin tone, has a chance to work. Then, wash off the peeling with a large amount of warm water. Among natural cosmetics, you can also find many enzymatic peels intended mainly for sensitive skin. CAN YOU PREPARE A PEELING FOR MATURE SKIN BY YOURSELF? If the owner of mature skin decides to make her own natural cosmetics at home, which will effectively exfoliate the epidermis, even out the skin tone and improve the absorption of the care products applied afterwards, then she can definitely do it. A simple scrub can be prepared from: almond oil, hemp seed oil, vegetable glycerin, finely ground oat flakes, sugar favorite essential oil. The ingredients used will certainly not only cleanse thoroughly, but also perfectly moisturize the skin, which is very important in the case of mature skin. Additionally, they will also brighten the complexion and restore its even color. For more delicate mature skin, you can try to create natural cosmetics at home based on: powdered herbs, dried flowers, small cereals. These may be, for example, ground rose petals, lemon or orange peels, or cornmeal. WHICH NATURAL MASKS ARE SUITABLE FOR MATURE SKIN? A face mask will be a great complement to peeling, which, when applied to well-prepared skin, will allow the substances contained in it to penetrate deep into the skin, moisturizing it and rejuvenating its appearance. In the case of mature skin, it is best to use masks based on butters, oils, and delicate but highly nourishing ingredients such as: honey, floral waters, cream. After thoroughly washing off the peeling and drying the face, apply a nourishing mask, which should remain on the face for about 20 minutes. As you know, in adulthood, you need to be more careful about the amount of sweets you eat, but this rule does not apply to the skin. Natural cosmetics prepared on the basis of cocoa and chocolate will perfectly nourish the complexion, improve its color, and the addition of, for example, a banana will have a soothing effect. It is also worth taking advantage of the beneficial effects of clays. However, clays contained in natural cosmetics can very dry the skin and emphasize its imperfections. Therefore, in the case of mature skin, a combination of appropriate clays with oils will be perfect. The ideal composition of such ingredients, perfect for mature skin, is, for example, the Natural Almond and Saffron Clay Mask. People with mature skin that is not sensitive can also try using forgotten "steam baths", i.e. facial saunas, which they certainly remember from their early youth, when access to beauty salons and a wide range of treatments was not as common as today. IS TONING A NECESSITY? An important element of skin care is also the use of toner. Many women forget about it or do not attach importance to its use, and wrongly so. A good toner is one of the natural cosmetics, the use of which can pay off with a more beautiful appearance of the skin after just a few days. For mature skin, it is worth using toners based on floral water - for example rose water. In fact, all the described stages, i.e. cleansing with make-up removal, peeling, masks and toner are extremely important stages in skin care with natural cosmetics. WHICH CREAMS AND OILS FOR MATURE SKIN SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? The proper preparation of the skin determines whether the cosmetic we apply to it in the form of a cream will have a chance to work. Mature skin will certainly love oils that can be used at night as standalone natural cosmetics care or under the cream – rubbing a few drops into dry areas. It is worth noting that creams used on the face do not have to be greasy. Properly conducted care based on natural cosmetics will ensure that the complexion maintains its firmness and hydrolipid balance and will not shine unsightly during the day but will also not be dry and thin, which makes wrinkles visible. DOES THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES HAVE TO REVEAL AGE? Among the many brands available on the market, you can also find those that offer excellent quality natural cosmetics for the care of the skin around the eyes. Due to the specific needs of the delicate and thin skin around the eyes and the fact that these cosmetics can easily cause allergies, it is worth first gaining experience in preparing natural cosmetics at home and only then starting to produce them for your own use. That is why it is worth using proven brands of natural cosmetics - for mature skin, the Natural Complex Bio Eye Cream Regenerating and Rejuvenating will work great.

In addition, it is worth systematically using a scalp tonic and scalp oil. HOW DOES SCALP TONIC WORK? The scalp tonic is designed to help maintain its proper pH and support the proper functioning of its lipid coat. It is perfect for this purpose. ayurvedic hair tonic – it effectively affects hair, making it thick and shiny, but also takes care of the condition of the scalp, reducing its oiliness and soothing irritation. The scalp tonic can be used practically every day. HOW DOES SCALP OIL WORK? Scalp oil is a cosmetic designed for oiling treatment, which aims to regulate the sebaceous glands. Systematic (2-3 times a week) use of scalp oil can help us cope with many dermatological conditions affecting the scalp, including: dandruff seborrhea psoriasis. Additionally, scalp oil makes hair soft and elastic, well-nourished and regenerated – so it works on many levels. WHICH CARE TREATMENTS SHOULD YOU NOT FORGET ABOUT? Oil and tonic are very useful cosmetics for the scalp, but you should not limit the care of this part of the body to just these two preparations. We should also remember about regular exfoliation and massages. Exfoliation allows for deep cleansing of the scalp from dead skin cells, excess sebum, environmental pollutants and residues of hairsprays and other styling cosmetics. Massage, in turn, improves circulation and stimulates hair growth, and also has a relaxing effect by reducing muscle tension.

DOES HAIR GROW FASTER WHEN YOU TRIM IT? This is one of the most popular myths about hair care. Many people believe that regular hair trims will improve their condition and encourage them to grow faster. Meanwhile, the truth is that it does not affect their growth in any way. It can only make them look better, because after evening out the ends, they will stop splitting and tangling. If you really want to speed up their growth, reach for the right natural hair cosmetics , for example Ayurvedic hair tonic, which strengthens hair bulbs and intensifies their growth. HAIR BECOMES USED TO COSMETICS AND DUE TO THIS THEIR EFFECTIVENESS DIMINISHES OVER TIME? This is another myth about hair care that we need to debunk. Contrary to what you might think, long-term use of hair care products does not make them less effective. Properly selected hair care products will be effective as long as we use them properly or the condition of our strands does not change. The condition of our hair can change depending on the seasons, diseases we suffer from, and even dietary changes, so sometimes it is necessary to change shampoo or conditioner to meet their needs - not because the hair becomes resistant to their effects. DOES DYEING DESTROY YOUR HAIR? Some hair care myths have a grain of truth to them. This is one of them. Dyeing can indeed damage your hair, but only if you use chemical dyes instead of natural dyes. Chemical dyes contain many potentially harmful substances, while natural hennas contain a lot of nutrients, and as a result, they not only do not harm your hair, but even improve its condition. Thanks to them, your hair: delight with saturated color; become strong and thick; gain silky smoothness; acquire a beautiful shine. That is why we recommend bio henna as excellent natural cosmetics for hair care. THE MORE CONDITIONER WE APPLY TO OUR HAIR, THE BETTER IT WILL WORK? Nothing could be further from the truth. A larger amount of conditioner applied to the hair will not bring greater effects, on the contrary, it can reduce them. Hair care cosmetics, even natural ones, should always be used in moderation. That is why each of the natural hair care cosmetics offered in our store has a short instruction manual - it is worth following it, it will be good for your hair. Contrary to popular belief, such recommendations of manufacturers of natural hair care cosmetics are not contractual, their purpose is to ensure the safety of using a given product. It is not known where such myths about hair care come from. However, we advise you not to follow this advice, it is better to listen to the famous saying that "Too much of anything is unhealthy". THE MORE A SHAMPOO FOAMES, THE BETTER IT IS FOR OUR HAIR? Another myth about hair care that can be dismissed as a fairy tale. Foam has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the shampoo, it is just an addition. In chemical hair care cosmetics, the foam is caused by SLS, a chemical active substance that works quite aggressively and causes many negative side effects. In natural hair care cosmetics, such as the Ayurvedic natural ginger and lemongrass hair shampoo or the Ayurvedic natural jasmine and almond shampoo, this role is taken over by saponins, healthy and safe substances of plant origin. So if you are wondering about choosing hair care cosmetics, do not be guided by their foaming capabilities, instead focus on their nourishing capabilities.
