AMLA FOR HAIR - "THE CARER" IN AYURVEDA

Amla for hair? Yes, it is! It is an ingredient used in Orientana cosmetics for hair care. It is found in Ayurvedic Shampoos , Ayurvedic Hair Therapy , Hair Tonic and Hennas for hair. You are probably wondering what this plant is, where it comes from and what are its properties that we so willingly use in our cosmetics. We will try to bring the subject of this ingredient closer. AMLA FOR HAIR - Where does this ingredient come from? Amla, or Emblica Officinalis, grows in India and also in Malaysia. It is considered one of the herbs with the strongest rejuvenating effect there – which is why in India, in Ayurvedic medicine, it is called a “caretaker”. It is a long-lived tree, it is believed to bring happiness, love and longevity. In Indian tradition, it has been used for years to care for and strengthen hair – it strengthens hair follicles, prevents hair loss and split ends. Amla is commonly called the Indian gooseberry. This is because of the shape of the fruit – small, firm and green. Amla fruits, tart in taste, refreshing, are exceptionally rich in vitamin C. One such fruit contains about 3000 mg of this vitamin! That is as much as in two lemons! Orientana natural cosmetics use it as a natural source of vitamin C for Bio Serum Vitamin C and Mulberry. What are the properties of amla as an active ingredient? What other properties does it have? It is a basic strengthening and rebuilding ingredient with a versatile effect. Natural hair cosmetics fortified with Indian gooseberry will have an anti-inflammatory and anti-dandruff effect on the scalp. Regular use will add shine, deepen and revive the natural color and delay premature graying. We use this enormous power of amla in Orientana cosmetics. And finally, an interesting fact! In India, Indian gooseberries are eaten raw, cooked and pickled. Often as an addition to muesli, yoghurt or fruit cocktail, they are a great addition to the diet. They are also available in the form of sweets!

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN - DISCOLORATIONS

Discoloration (hyperpigmentation) appears mainly in the summer. Then the skin is exposed to too high temperatures. Overheating from the sun, and even dryness or irritation caused by too long sunbathing, or using cosmetics incorrectly selected for the skin type. All this makes our skin weaken and requires special, more conscious care. Carefully developed natural body cosmetics for discolored skin will help you with this, which you will learn more about in this post. After the summer, it is worth taking care of the skin so that it is beautiful, healthy and without pigmentation changes. How to take care of the skin in the right way and what natural cosmetics from Orientana can help you with this? WHY DOES THE SKIN HAVE DISCOLORATIONS? Why does our skin have discolorations? There are various causes. Some of them are genetically determined, like freckles. Others are caused by excessive solar radiation and insufficient protection of the skin from high temperatures in the summer. Still others are caused by hormonal changes (pregnancy, hormonal problems, menopause) or because we take antibiotics, medicines, and even contraceptives, which can adversely affect the skin color and disturbed melanin production. The cause of changes on the skin surface may also be improper functioning of hormones, which are produced by: the ovaries, pituitary gland, adrenal glands and thyroid gland. They regulate the process of melanogenesis. Sometimes acne, which contaminates the skin, is also responsible for hyperpigmentation. Some changes on the skin surface are the result of inflammation. Discolorations occur as a result of a disturbance in the proper pigmentation of the skin. An excess of brown pigment - melanin - is responsible for this. Melanocytes, on the other hand, distribute melatonin to skin cells, which results in pigmented human skin. An interesting fact is that they most often appear on women's skin. In men, these types of skin changes appear very rarely. They usually appear on women's skin after the age of 25, when collagen production is limited. Some also appear after the age of thirty! HOW TO CAREFULLY CARE FOR SKIN WITH DISCOLORATIONS Are you wondering which areas of the body are most susceptible to hyperpigmentation? These are the face, neck, nape, décolleté, forearms, back and hands. To minimize the risk of further changes, it is worth thoroughly cleansing the skin and using proven and, above all, fully natural dermocosmetics. These are carefully formulated natural face creams containing active and plant-based substances that will take care of your skin to minimize the risk.

How to spend Christmas in Asia

Christmas in Asia is celebrated in a variety of ways, with influences from both Western culture and local traditions and religions. Although Christmas is not a national holiday in most Asian countries, due to the small percentage of Christians, its celebration is becoming increasingly popular, especially in countries with a strong globalization influence. Since tourism is an important economic sector in Asia, many countries have holiday decorations to make the time more pleasant for tourists. Christmas, traditionally celebrated on December 25, is not always associated in Asia with the religious context of the birth of Christ. In countries such as Japan, South Korea and China, the holiday takes on a more commercial and secular character, being an occasion for exchanging gifts, decorating homes and public spaces, and socializing. In countries with a Christian minority, such as the Philippines, India (especially in the state of Goa) and Indonesia, Christmas retains its spiritual significance, often involving attendance at mass and traditional worship services. Customs in individual countries 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. The Philippines is one of the countries where Christmas is particularly rich in tradition. The holiday season begins in September and lasts until January. An important element is Simbang Gabi , a nine-day service held in the early morning hours leading up to Christmas Eve. The celebrations culminate on Christmas Eve, known as Noche Buena , when families gather for a hearty dinner. In Japan, Christmas is secular and commercial. The symbols of the holiday are the decoration of the Christmas tree, Christmas illuminations in cities, and the custom of eating fried chicken, especially from KFC restaurants, which has been popularized as a "holiday tradition." A popular dessert is Christmas Cake - a sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries. In South Korea, Christmas is a day off from work and has a dual meaning – both religious for Christians and secular for the rest of society. Typical celebrations include exchanging gifts, decorating home spaces, and participating in holiday cultural events. In China, Christmas is primarily a commercial holiday, especially in large cities. Shop decorations, Christmas songs, and the giving of "peace apples" (苹果, píngguǒ ) are popular, due to the phonetic similarity of the word for "apple" to "peace" in Chinese. In India, although Christians make up a small percentage of the population, Christmas is celebrated with great pomp in regions such as Goa, Kerala and Nagaland, including attending church services, decorating homes with oil lamps and holding Christmas fairs. Asian Christmas Dishes In various Asian countries, traditional holiday meals reflect local flavors and customs: Philippines : Lechon (roasted suckling pig), pancit (noodles), and bibingka (rice cake) are popular dishes. Japan : Fried chicken and the previously mentioned Christmas cake. South Korea : Christmas dinner often includes both traditional Korean foods, such as kimchi , and Western-inspired dishes. India : Baking, curry, and sweets such as kulkuls (sweet fried cakes) and rose cookies are popular. Christmas celebrations in Asia reflect the cultural diversity of the region, where Western influences intertwine with local traditions. For some, it is a time of religious reflection, for others, an opportunity to celebrate in a secular way, emphasizing the universal nature of the celebration.

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. 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 wrinkle 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.

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.

Serum z NAD+ - co to jest i dla kogo jest ta pielęgnacja?

Serum z NAD+ do twarzy to nowoczesna pielęgnacja z nurtu skin longevity, w której składnik Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide łączy się z nawilżeniem i blaskiem. Jeśli Twoja skóra jest zmęczona, szara i pozbawiona blasku, to jeden z ciekawszych kierunków pielęgnacji. Wyjaśniamy, czym jest NAD+, czym różni się od NMN i niacynamidu, co takie serum robi, a czego nie robi, i jak wybrać produkt, który widać na twarzy. Czym jest NAD+ w kosmetykach? NAD+ (dinukleotyd nikotynamidoadeninowy) to koenzym obecny w każdej komórce, zaangażowany w procesy energetyczne. Naukowcy opisują go jako jeden z kluczowych tematów badań nad starzeniem, dlatego trafił do kosmetyków longevity. Więcej o tym podejściu przeczytasz w artykule czym jest skin longevity. W składzie szukaj nazwy Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. NAD+, NMN i niacynamid - różnice w pigułce Składnik Nazwa w INCI Co to jest NAD+ Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide koenzym obecny w komórkach NMN Nicotinamide Mononucleotide prekursor w szlaku powstawania NAD+ Niacynamid Niacinamide amid witaminy B3 To trzy różne składniki. Gdy kosmetyk obiecuje „booster NAD+", sprawdź w INCI, co faktycznie zawiera. Nie przypisuj im zamiennie wyników badań. Jeśli interesuje cie składnik Nad+ przeczytaj wpis NAD+ w kosmetykach - co to jest i jak działa na skórę? Serum na szarą cerę i skórę pozbawioną blasku - kiedy sięgnąć po serum z NAD+? Szara, zmęczona skóra ma zwykle kilka wspólnych przyczyn: odwodnienie, nierówna powierzchnia naskórka, brak snu, stres, zanieczyszczenia i brak ochrony przeciwsłonecznej. Pielęgnacja nie zastąpi snu, ale może poprawić wygląd skóry. Serum do skóry pozbawionej blasku powinno robić dwie rzeczy: Dać efekt widoczny od razu – rozświetlenie optyczne, które poprawia wygląd twarzy po aplikacji. Nawilżać i wygładzać – żeby skóra wyglądała na wypoczętą także przy regularnym stosowaniu. Jeśli zmiana koloru skóry pojawiła się nagle lub towarzyszą jej inne objawy, skonsultuj się z lekarzem. Serum z NAD+ czy z witaminą C - jak wybrać? Nie szukaj „lepszego" składnika. Porównuj funkcję i recepturę kosmetyku, bo dla tych składników nie ma badań, które pozwoliłyby wskazać zwycięzcę. Efekt, na którym Ci zależy. Jeśli chcesz natychmiastowego efektu optycznego i bazy pod makijaż, sprawdź produkt, który deklaruje takie zastosowanie. Przy witaminie C: zwróć uwagę na formę, stężenie i tolerancję całej formuły. Część osób reaguje na jej wyższe stężenia mrowieniem lub zaczerwienieniem. Przy NAD+: sprawdź, czy w INCI jest Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, i czy producent podaje wyniki badania gotowego produktu. Rutyna. Oba składniki można rozważać w jednej pielęgnacji, ale nowe produkty wprowadzaj pojedynczo. Sama nazwa składnika nie wystarcza do oceny skuteczności. Czego serum z NAD+ nie robi? Uczciwy opis serum zaczyna się od tego, co kosmetyk realnie może dać: Nie odmładza komórek i nie zatrzymuje starzenia. To, że NAD+ ma ważną rolę biologiczną w komórce, nie dowodzi takiego efektu w gotowym kosmetyku. Nie leczy i nie zastępuje konsultacji dermatologicznej. Nie zastępuje filtra SPF ani podstaw pielęgnacji. Nie daje identycznego efektu u każdego. Wyniki badań dotyczą grupy uczestników. Od kosmetyku możesz oczekiwać pielęgnacji, komfortu i widocznego blasku. Właśnie tak warto go oceniać. Glow Wear - serum z NAD+, glutationem i argininą Glow Wear (30 ml) to serum z serii Longevity Code, stworzonej z Julią Kamińską. Łączy trzy rzeczy w jednym kroku: Natychmiastowy blask – formuła z Mica i CI 77891 daje widoczne rozświetlenie od razu po aplikacji.

Glow Wear jest testowany dermatologicznie, ale zawiera kompozycję zapachową (Parfum), więc przy skórze reaktywnej sprawdź pełne INCI i wypróbuj produkt najpierw na małym fragmencie skóry. Czy NAD+ to to samo co niacynamid? Nie. To osobne składniki o różnych nazwach w INCI. Czy serum z NAD+ nadaje się pod makijaż? Glow Wear został stworzony jako serum, które może pełnić funkcję bazy pod makijaż. Czy serum z NAD+ pasuje do cery suchej? Glow Wear to serum nawilżająco-wygładzające, dlatego często wybierają je osoby ze skórą zmęczoną i suchą.
