We know everyone loves a good lifestyle hack so we asked around the office to see what people were doing with their favorite LuxeOrganix products.

Some of what we heard hadn’t even crossed our minds!

So, today, we’re sharing our favorite secret beauty hacks from the LuxeOrganix team. We’re keeping everyone’s identity secret, but feel free to share these with your friends.

From lightening your elbows to eliminating athlete’s foot and diaper rash, there’s something for just about everyone here.

Lighten Dark Elbows & Knees

Dark elbows and knees are simply patches of darker skin on your elbows and knees. While darker skin can occur anywhere, your elbows are more vulnerable because you pay less attention to them. More prominent parts of your body, like your face, probably get more attention, including more beneficial treatments.

Several factors can cause or contribute to darker skin on your elbows, including:

  • an accumulation of dead skin cells
  • hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure
  • melasma (dark spots) from a pregnancy or birth control pills
  • freckles and age spots
  • skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema
  • inflammation from a previous injury

Naturally darker skin tones are also more prone to darkening of their elbows and knees.

How do you treat it?

The favorite hack for this in our office was using Brilliant Eyes cream twice per day on your elbows, knees, and other darker skin areas (armpits or heels, anyone?).

We formulated Brilliant Eyes with Eyebright. Eyebright is a small white-flowered plant officially named Euphrasia, which has been used in herbal medicine for centuries.

Eyebright reduces puffiness, calms redness, and brightens dark spots on your skin. Its anti-inflammatory and astringent properties work as exfoliators and toners for your skin. It’s well known for clearing blocked pores and tightening the complexion for a flawless, even appearance. It also balances oil production and helps to maintain the skin’s pH to keep excess sebum under control.

Eyebright is a great healer for acne, blemishes, and skin conditions like rosacea and eczema, and despite its powerful effects, eyebright is a gentle herb.

Perfect for eliminating and softening those elbows and knees.

Oh, Baby!

Babies have very delicate skin. That’s why there are so many baby care products. Good baby care products are gentle.

Because babies have such sensitive skin, they can easily develop a lot of skin issues. Rashes–like diaper rash or drool rash, eczema, dry skin, dermatitis, and baby acne are all pretty common. These can result in itchy, uncomfortable, dry, and cracked skin.

How do you heal these issues and keep your baby’s skin soft, moisturized, and healthy?

Try LuxeOranix Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash. This gentle, non-medicated formula helps prevent, soothe, and stop the cycle of dry, irritated, flaky skin on the body or the scalp. It’s perfectly pH balanced and has no harsh chemicals or fragrance so it will not cause any irritation. There are also no sulfates, SLS, sodium chloride, parabens, drying alcohols, gluten, dyes, or phthalates, making it safe for sensitive skin, children, and babies.

A Remedy for Dry, Rough Patches & Tiny Bumps

If you’ve got rough, dry, bumpy skin – this one is for you!

Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that causes dry, rough patches with tiny bumps, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. Sometimes called chicken or goose-flesh, the bumps don’t usually hurt or itch. Keratosis pilaris can occur at any age, but it’s common in young children.

Keratosis pilaris is considered to be just a variation of normal skin. It can’t be cured or prevented, but you can manage it with moisturizers to improve the appearance of the skin.

The beauty hack we stumbled upon is to use the ReNew Exfoliating Face Mask Polishing Scrub.

Gently scrub the affected area with ReNew, and then let it sit on your skin for 5-10 minutes. The scrub will clear clogged pores and uncover fresh, glowing skin, while the hydrating oils and natural ingredients soften, moisturize, heal, and protect.

This hack also works for the dry skin on your hands, elbows, and heels. As an added bonus, ReNew contains ingredients known to help aid in fading and brightening age spots or discoloration on this skin, too!

Get a Close Shave

If you’re like some of the women in our office, your shower shaving techniques probably include reaching for whatever is close at hand that will help glide your razor without nicks and scrapes.

If you reach for a bar soap, you probably end up with dry, itchy skin. And if you end up with shaving creams, you might also end up with irritated skin, rashes, or bumps from the harsh ingredients and fragrances they contain.

What’s a girl to do?

Our favorite hack is using your Biotin Shampoo as a shave gel. It gently stimulates and soothes with healing anti-inflammatory essential oils and plant extracts to hydrate and protect your skin.

Chock full of ingredients like nettle leaf extract, calendula, olive, and jojoba oils benefit your skin and accelerate the healing process of wounds, allergies, and rashes.

If you’re more of a shave cream kind of gal, another favorite shaving hack is using LuxeOrganix  CoWash Cleansing Conditioner. It’s enriched with Peppermint Oil that ignites your senses and leaves your shaved skin feeling refreshed. Considering it’s designed to protect and preserve your hair’s natural oils, just imagine what it can do for your skin with its natural botanicals and nutrients for enhanced moisture.

Put Your Feet First

Your feet are important. You stand and walk on them all day long. Problems with your feet can be debilitating. Keeping them healthy is relatively easy and taking care of them is a snap. Read on for some of our favorite foot care hacks.

If you struggle with Athlete’s Foot, you know what it’s like… a scaly rash, itching, stinging, burning, and not only uncomfortable but also embarrassing for others to see.

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection that usually begins between the toes. It commonly occurs when feet get sweaty while confined in tight-fitting shoes. The sweating, combined with the tight shoes, helps create the perfect conditions for this fungus to grow.

Athlete’s foot is contagious and can be spread via contaminated floors, towels, or clothing.

Important: If your condition is extreme, or if it does not begin to heal in a week or so, you should seek care from your primary healthcare practitioner. You may need anti-fungal medications.

Our hack might help you nip this condition before it warrants a visit to the doctor.

Using the Biotin Shampoo as a daily foot wash might help you avoid athletes’ foot. This is because of the essential oils of Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Rosemary, with anti-fungal properties, as well as, Horsetail Plant Extract, Sage, and other botanicals, that reduce inflammation, sweating, and fungal growth, and help to heal the skin.

It also works wonders on stinky feet!

And, Ladies, if you want really soft feet, try using our Biotin Conditioner with your pumice stone or callus grater. The Ginkgo Leaf Powder promotes circulation, while Sage, Peppermint, and Rosemary’s anti-bacterial and anti-septic properties help keep your skin healthy (no athlete’s feet for you!). The Aloe Vera, Jojoba, and Hemp Seed Oil will help soften callouses and keep your skin smooth and hydrated.

Just For Men

It may have been whispered to us, but we heard it loud and clear… Men have been using our Brilliant Eyes Cream and Vitamin C Moisturizer as post-shave remedies.

This one surprised us, but only for a brief moment.

To get a sharp, close shave, you need to moisturize the skin and the hair on the beard and mustache. Softening your stubble makes it less irritating to remove, and both the Brilliant Eyes Cream and Vitamin C Moisturizer do just that, while also softening and moisturizing the skin so the razor blade can more easily remove the hair.

Once you’ve shaved the hair off, you also need to heal your skin from any nicks and keep it moisturized so that it stays healthy and calm.

Both the Brilliant Eyes Cream and the Vitamin C Moisturizer with their organic and natural ingredients help with this.

Brilliant Eyes has a unique blend of organic and natural ingredients that infuse and hold moisture, promoting long-term skin health. It’s also got Squalane in it, which has been used historically medically to treat wounds and burns (so just imagine its soothing and healing qualities for post-shaving!).

Our Vitamin C Moisturizer blends penetrating antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients to stimulate new cell growth, and elasticity, and locks in long-lasting moisture essential for keeping your skin hydrated and protected from harsh environment & climate trauma. It soothes sensitive skin, and the Vitamin C contained is a proactive remedy for skin that’s prone to break-outs and irritation, by balancing oily skin, and reducing dryness and itching,

Gentlemen, you cannot go wrong using either of these to shave your face! Try both and discover your favorite!

When you itch, you often just scratch your skin without thinking about it.

Most itching is just dry or irritated skin, but when your itching is inflamed and does not go away, or when it’s causing flaking of your skin, it might be psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, or another medical condition.

Other than scratching, what can you do?

If you’ve been diagnosed with any of these conditions, or even if you just have really dry skin, after consulting with your primary health care provider, our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash might offer some relief and help you manage your skin back to health.

It’s not just for people with psoriasis! It’s for anyone with dry, itching, or sensitive skin.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a condition that causes skin cells to grow quickly, producing the build-up and formation of scales (or plaques), and itchy, dry patches on the skin.

The most common symptom of psoriasis is a rash on the skin, but sometimes the rash involves the nails or joints.

Psoriasis can occur anywhere but is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, neck, hands and feet, and scalp. Babies and young children commonly have it and often outgrow it.

Psoriasis may be an immune system issue and can be triggered by things like infection, stress, cold weather, your diet, trauma to your skin, or weight gain. These triggers can cause a new flare-up, or make an existing outbreak worse.

How Is Psoriasis Treated?

This is where we jump in.

Current treatments might help you manage the condition, whether it’s psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis, but they often wreak havoc on, or just plain neglect, the health of your skin.

Psoriasis is often treated via topical ointments, light therapy, and medications. The treatments work by removing the scales from the skin, calm itching, and stopping skin cells from growing too quickly.

On Your Scalp

When psoriasis occurs on the scalp, treatment may include a medicated shampoo.

The medicated shampoos used to treat psoriasis are tough. They are meant to treat the scalp, not the hair, and are filled with harsh ingredients that help remove the scales caused by psoriasis. These harsh ingredients are not friendly to your hair. They can be thick with ingredients that leave your hair feeling greasy or that weigh the hair down. They can also irritate the skin that’s not inflicted.

When using a medicated shampoo, you should apply it only to your roots and scalp. Your hair does not have psoriasis, your scalp does. So keep your treatment contained as best you can.

How do you get it off your hair? RINSE. Rinse your hair for a long time (2 minutes) to ensure the medicated shampoo is completely removed.

image - psoriasis shampoo gentle ingredients

While medicated shampoos have improved since they were first created, they are really focused on the condition (psoriasis) and not on cleaning your hair or leaving your hair healthy. They very often leave a medicinal smell on your hair, too.

You can follow your medicated shampoo with a non-medicated, gentle shampoo to clean your hair, keeping it away from your scalp. And always follow your shampoo with a gentle, moisturizing conditioner, again, keeping it away from your scalp.

That same gentle shampoo can be used in between the days you use your medicated shampoos.

Choose your shampoo carefully. Most store-bought shampoos are far too harsh for your scalp, even if you do not have psoriasis.

Harsh ingredients strip your hair from everything, including your hair’s all-important natural oils and nutrients. This leaves your hair fragile and damaged — frizzy, dry, dull, and splitting.

On Your Body

As with your psoriasis on your scalp, psoriasis that occurs on the body is often treated with medicated topical ointments, light therapy, or medications. Again, these treatments are created to remove the plaques, not to heal the skin.

To give your skin the environment it needs to heal, you need to take care of the skin along with the condition that’s irritating it. 

That means keeping your skin clean, hydrated, and protected – especially with a condition like psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis. Avoiding products that contain harsh ingredients, perfumes, and sulfates is part of this care. These ingredients can irritate your already sensitive skin, making your condition more difficult to manage.

This is why we created our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash.

It’s a gentle shampoo and body wash that will not irritate your scalp or skin. It gently cleans your hair and skin, and helps promote a healthy environment for your skin to begin healing.

  • It’s perfectly pH balanced at 5.5 to improve absorption and support your skin’s natural barrier.
  • Contains no harsh chemicals or fragrances to prevent irritation.
  • Contains no sulfates, SLS, sodium chloride, parabens, drying alcohols, gluten, dyes, or phthalates, making it safe for sensitive skin, even for children and babies.

It’s not just for psoriasis. The Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash helps with dermatitis, eczema, and dry skin, too. It’s safe for use on adults, children, and babies and is a tear-free formula.

Ingredients like Aloe Vera, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, and Calendula help calm, heal, and hydrate your skin. And the anti-inflammatory properties of these ingredients can help reduce the redness, itching, and puffiness that often accompanies eczema, dry skin, or psoriatic rashes.

Using this shampoo and body wash will help you to clean your skin and hair without irritation, hydrate dry skin, and soothe the irritation caused by the overgrowth of skin cells.

Other Things That May Help

Lifestyle adjustments, like not smoking, managing your stress, taking vitamins, and a healthy diet, may also help heal these conditions and help keep your skin clear. Talk with your health care professional for more tips related to your specific condition.

Our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash is not meant to replace any medicated shampoo or topical ointments you are using. You may find yourself using less of your medicated products, or not — but you will definitely notice a difference in your skin, hair, and scalp.

Be gentle with your skin and it will glow!

If you’re like most people, you probably wash your hair on auto-pilot, not thinking much about it. And you’ve likely been doing it the same way since you were a kid, right?

You’ve probably put a little effort into picking your shampoo and conditioner, but that’s it.

Have you ever put any brainpower into the process? Do you know if you’re washing your hair correctly?

Is there a right way to wash your hair?

If you want your best hair, there’s actually a little more to it than just wetting your hair, lathering up with shampoo, and rinsing.

Washing the right way ensures minimal damage to your hair, hair follicles, and scalp.

We’ve outlined the most important things to consider below.

Choose your products carefully.

Don’t pick your products just because they smell nice or they’re on sale. Pick the right shampoo for your hair type.

  • If you have thick, coarse, or curly hair, use a shampoo and conditioner with moisturizing qualities, like the LuxeOrganix Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner.
  • If you have color-treated, straightened, or processed hair, use a shampoo that won’t strip your hair every time you wash it. All of the LuxeOrganix shampoos and conditioners will not strip your treatments. They’re safe for perms, colored, and keratin-treated hair.
  • If you have fine or thinning hair, or are prone to being greasy, use a shampoo that nourishes your hair and scalp to promote healthy hair growth and bring balance to your scalp pH, like our Biotin Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner.

Don’t know what kind of hair you have? You can always ask your stylist for advice.

No matter your hair type, you should avoid shampoos that contain sulfates. While sulfates help your shampoo lather, they strip your hair’s natural oils, leaving your hair prone to breakage and looking dull. All LuxeOrganix shampoos are sulfate-free.

The stripping of your natural oils can also lead to an over-production of those oils as your hair and scalp try to balance the dryness. Over-production of the oils means greasy-looking, flat, lifeless hair.

Sulfates can also cause irritation for some people, especially those with sensitive skin. That’s why anyone with rosacea, eczema, psoriasis or contact dermatitis should avoid shampoos with sulfates. Our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo and Body Wash is extra-gentle on sensitive skin. It helps clean your scalp and hair without any harsh ingredients, and it helps promote healthy skin.

Don’t wash your hair every day.

Seriously.

Don’t wash your hair every day. This can dry and damage your hair.

The optimal number of times to wash your hair weekly varies a little depending on your hair type. Oily hair may require washing every 2 to 3 days, but dry hair may only need washing 1 to 2 times per week.

For almost everyone, letting your hair go a few days between washes gives your hair’s natural oils a chance to do their thing and keep your hair healthy. Overwashing prevents this and may lead to an itchy scalp, flaking, and dull hair. You need those natural oils!

Try a co-wash.

Can’t skip your shampoo because you go to the gym every day? Try a co-wash.

Co-washing hair products are cleansing conditioners that moisturize and gently clean your hair and scalp.

Cowash conditioners are not meant to replace your shampoo. They’re meant as a go-between. You alternate between co-washing and shampooing to give your hair a break from your shampoo. It’s a great way to “skip shampooing” without skipping the part where you clean your hair.

The LuxeOrganix Cowash Cleansing Conditioner is free of harmful ingredients like sulfates, parabens, and sodium chloride. It’s proven to protect and enhance curly, fine, colored, and chemically straightened hair.

What’s your water like?

Most of us don’t think at all about the water we use to wash our hair, but it can make a difference.

Hard water contains minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium that can leave a film on your hair. This film can make it difficult to effectively clean and moisturize your hair, leave you with dull hair, change the texture of your hair, and make your styling products less effective.

Over time, hard water can dry your hair, leaving it more susceptible to breaking. It can also irritate your scalp and exacerbate eczema or psoriasis.
Most people have little control over the mineral levels in the water in their homes — especially if you’re renting… So, what can you do?

If you own your home, you could install a water softening system for your whole house. This would purify your water at every faucet.

And if you’re a renter, you could install a water softener shower head, which contains filtering cartridges to remove excess minerals and purify the water in your shower.

Either way, you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes on your hair and your skin.

How do you wash your hair the right way?

We’ve spelled out the basic steps for you, below.

Wet your hair completely.

Use lukewarm, not hot, water. Hot water breaks the bonds in your hair, and that will eventually lead to hair damage (splits, breaks, frizzies). So keep your water warm, not hot.

And do not start out by immediately applying your shampoo. Instead, let your hair get fully soaking wet.

Depending on how thick or dense your hair is, this might take longer than you think. So let the water flow over your head for at least 1 minute, then run your fingers through your hair to make sure all of it is drenched.

While the water is penetrating your hair, massage your scalp with your fingertips to help loosen up any residual product, dirt, and debris.
Letting your hair get fully wet with lukewarm water helps open the cuticles, making it easier for your hair to absorb your conditioner when you’re done shampooing.

And soaking wet hair will help any shampoo, including sulftate-free shampoos, develop a rich lather.

Apply your shampoo.

Make sure you’re applying the correct amount of shampoo for your hair length. If you use too much, you might not get it all out. And using too little might not thoroughly cleanse your hair.

If you have short hair, aim for a squeeze of shampoo that’s about the size of a nickel. For shoulder-length hair, make it quarter-sized. If you have long hair, make it half-dollar sized.

Apply the shampoo to your entire scalp and crown. Focus on shampooing your scalp, massaging your scalp with your fingertips to help remove dirt and debris.

You don’t need any shampoo on the tips of your hair. The ends will be cleaned later as you rinse the shampoo out.

Be gentle

Don’t use your nails when cleaning your scalp. Your scalp is sensitive and scrubbing with your nails can cause irritation, tears, and infection. Massage with gentle pressure using your fingertips (no nails!) and palms for about 3 minutes. Think of how your hairstylist does it and channel your inner stylist.

You also want to avoid circular or harsh back and forth movements while you massage the shampoo into your scalp. These movements can tangle your hair and damage hair follicles.

Be gentle!

Rinse thoroughly.

Rinse your hair with cooler-temperature water. Cool water will not dry out the sebum, which is an oily, waxy substance produced by your body’s sebaceous glands. It coats, moisturizes, and protects your skin. It’s also the main ingredient in your hair’s natural oils.

Spend at least two minutes rinsing your hair to be sure no soap remains.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is leaving shampoo in their hair. This is what causes buildup. The leftover shampoo also attracts and holds dirt. Nobody wants that!

Always use a conditioner.

Never ever skip your conditioner. Your hair, especially after you wash it with shampoo, always needs a conditioner.

Apply your conditioner from the mid-strand down to the ends of your hair. You don’t need to put conditioner on your scalp, it might make it appear oily.

Then, let your conditioner sit on your hair for the recommended time (this is usually spelled out for you on the bottle). Some conditioners need to sit for 2 to 3 minutes, while a deep conditioner, like the LuxeOrganix Bond Integrity Protein Hair Treatment or Coconut Oil Deep Conditioner Hair Mask, might require 5 or more minutes.

Don’t leave your conditioner in for longer than recommended or it might be harder to rinse out completely. Again, leaving residue behind is not a good look. And leaving conditioner on for too long can actually cause your hair to break. It’s called over-conditioning.

While you let the conditioner soak in, you can use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair if you want. Be gentle with this and start by combing at the bottom and working your way up as your hair is combed.

Rinse again, thoroughly.

Just like with your shampoo, rinse for at least two minutes. A good rule of thumb for rinsing is to always rinse longer than you think you need.

Channel that inner stylist again – what would your hairstylist do? You want to be sure you get it all out.

Dry gently.

Once you’re done washing your hair, get a soft towel and GENTLY squeeze or pat your hair dry.

Never rub, wring, or wrap your wet hair into a tight turban. Wet hair is fragile and this will break it.

If you can, use a microfiber towel or a soft t-shirt. The rougher the fiber in your towel, the more damage it could cause to your hair. So think soft!

Now you know!

There is a right way to wash your hair. And now that you know it, your hair will thank you.

If you take the time to choose your products carefully, invest in a water softener, wash your hair gently, and condition it, you can help your hair be stronger, healthier, softer, and shinier.

Skin Care Tips That Go Beyond https://luxeorganix.com/skin-care-tips-that-go-beyond/ Thu, 03 Feb 2022 18:14:24 +0000 https://luxeorganix.com/?p=47810 The post Skin Care Tips That Go Beyond appeared first on LuxeOrganix.

You’ve probably got the basics of skin care down… You know that you need to cleanse and moisturize regularly, right?

That’s why today, we’re sharing a few tips that go beyond the basics.

Healthy, glowing skin doesn’t stop with a quick clean and moisturize!

1. Cleanse.

Cleaning your skin might sound basic, but a lot of people do it wrong.

What’s the wrong way to clean your skin, you wonder?

Using products that dry it out, for one.

You’re probably using a specialized cleanser on your face, and bar soap on your body. YIKES! Bar soaps, and even some body washes, can be full of harsh or drying ingredients.

What’s the difference in soaps?

All types of soaps do basically the same thing — remove dirt from the surface of your skin. The difference between them is in their ingredients and the way they remove the dirt.

As sweat and dirt mix with your body’s natural oils, it can settle on your skin and breed bacteria.

Bar soaps work by dissolving the dirt on the surface of your skin. They break up the oily layer and lift it away from your skin so that water washes it off.

Body washes use the same methods to get the dirt off your skin, but they often contain a mixture of ingredients to help treat common conditions like dryness, clogged pores, and flaking. Body washes also frequently contain ingredients that restore the moisture that can be stripped by cleansing.

Shower gels are basically less hydrating body wash formulas. These gels tend to cleanse your skin without infusing it with moisturizing ingredients.

So what’s right for your skin?

That will vary with every person, and with the season. Your skin’s needs will change over time, and it’s important to pay attention to the signs that what you’re using might not be working. Itchy skin, tightness, flaking, sallowness – all indicate that your skin needs something different.

Don’t be afraid of switching it up with the season to keep your skin silky smooth and happy!

Pro tip: Know your skin and pay attention to when it’s asking for a change. Use a gentle product that your skin responds to. For your body, you might be better with a body wash. If you’ve got sensitive skin, or if your skin is extra dry, our Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash is both gentle and hydrating. It’s made to help restore your skin’s natural moisture balance without irritation.

2. Moisturize.

You can never get enough moisturizer!

For your face, make sure you are moisturizing in the morning and at night. Maintaining a youthful appearance doesn’t stop at your chin.

Make sure to include your neck, and décolleté, too.

The best times to moisturize your body are right after you get out of the shower and right before you go to bed. After you shower, don’t take all of that water off with your towel. Allow a thin layer of it to be mixed with your moisturizer.

For best results, avoid lotions with heavy fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. Pay extra attention to your elbows, knees, and heels. These areas are often extra-dry, thanks to the friction of your clothing.

3. Hydrate.

Hydration is not moisture.

Hydration = water, and moisture = oil.

If your skin is dehydrated, it is lacking water. And if your skin is dry, it is lacking oil.

Every skin expert we know can talk for days about the importance of hydration.

save your summer skin - stay hydrated

“A lack of water means less radiance and more sag,” says Dr. Mona Gohara, a dermatologist in Connecticut. Dr. Gohara suggests using skincare products with hydrating formulas.

The LuxeOrganix skincare line includes ingredients like aloe vera, red clover, glycerin, and glycine – humectant ingredients that help your skin attract and retain water.

Making sure that your skincare products do not dry out your skin, or better, help it retain water, is only half of the battle. You will still need to drink around eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated and keep your body working, and looking, its best.

4. Exfoliate a few times per week.

You lose 50 million skin cells a day, and without a little extra help, they may hang around leaving your skin looking dull and dry.

To fight this, you need to exfoliate. A few times per week with ReNew Exfoliating Face Mask Polishing Scrub will reveal softer, younger skin. Try it! It will not take more than a few weeks for a visible difference.

And don’t stop at your face — the skin on your body needs exfoliation, too. Your hands, elbows, knees, and feet take a beating every day. And you may also notice your elbow and knees darkening as you age. This can be the result of an accumulation of dead skin cells, friction from your clothing, and sun exposure. You can minimize and even reverse this by exfoliating regularly.

Scrub-a-dub-dub. Get those dead skin cells polished off with regular exfoliation!

5. Avoid direct heat.

It’s not just the sun that’s bad for your skin. Getting too close to the heat (think bonfires and fireplaces) can also cause issues. Heat causes inflammation and breaks down the collagen in your skin. Collagen is what keeps your skin plump, soft, and wrinkle-free.
So, the next time you’re toasting marshmallows for s’mores over an open fire or cozying up in front of a fireplace with your sweetie, take a step back.

6. Put your vitamins on.

Did you know you can get your vitamins by putting them ON your skin?

Topical antioxidants, like our Kakadu Vitamin C Skin Brightening Serum and our Vitamin C Moisturizer, contain vitamins that nourish your skin.

 (We even hinted at that by putting “vitamin C” in their name!) You’ll find vitamins C, B5, and E along with other important botanical ingredients like reishi mushrooms, bakuchiol, and eyebright. These really all help to repair and nourish your skin from the inside.

The ingredients in your skincare products penetrate your skin and soak the innermost layers with the nutrition needed to keep your skin strong, regenerate skin cells, and heal the damage caused by free radicals, sun, and environmental toxins.

Not sure how to use topical antioxidants to get the most from them? The best time to apply them is right after cleansing so that your skin can soak them in. Clean your skin, then apply your serum, then your eye cream and moisturizer.
In the morning, let your serum and moisturizers sit for a few minutes before applying any makeup. You can also layer them under your sunscreen for added protection.

7. Maintain a healthy diet.

The nutrients you get from food (or supplements) help build and maintain a healthy body, including your body’s largest organ – your skin.

Your skin has a natural barrier that helps it retain moisture. Without moisture, your skin sags and looks old, sullen, wrinkled, and dry. One essential ingredient to keep that barrier strong is omega-3 fatty acids.

You can add a little omega-3 fatty acid to your diet with a teaspoon of flax seeds in your smoothie, or by snacking on a few walnuts. These give an instant boost to your omega-3 and increase your skin’s ability to hold onto moisture.
And we can’t tell you this enough — moisture is crucial to keeping your skin clear, smooth, and glowing.

8. Clean your makeup brushes.

To fight infection and clogged pores, you need to keep your makeup brushes clean. Top dermatologists recommend washing concealer and foundation brushes once a week. For brushes you use around your eyes, the recommendation is twice per month, and for any other brushes, once a month will do it. If your skin is sensitive, you might want to increase the frequency of this.

How do you clean them? Put a drop of mild shampoo in the palm of your hand. Wet the bristles of the brush with lukewarm water and massage the bristles into your palm, gently spreading the shampoo into the brush. Avoid getting the metal part of the brush wet because the glue could soften and the bristles could fall out. Rinse the shampoo out and squeeze out the water with a towel. Lay the brushes on their side with the bristles hanging off the edge of the counter to dry.

Pro tip: Have a few scrubbies that you got with your LuxeOrganix Facial Wash lying around? These make excellent brush cleaners! Rather than using your palm, put a drop of shampoo on a scrubby and use that to clean your brushes.

9. Sun protection is more than sunscreen.

“Preventing sun damage is a million times better for your skin than treating it after the fact,” says Dr. Janet Prystowsky M.D., a dermatologist in New York City.

We could not have said this better ourselves.

That’s why we use ingredients that help protect your skin from the sun and heal it from sun damage.

Like aloe vera, glycolic acid, and licorice root which we put in our Kakadu Skin Brightening Serum, Brilliant Eyes eye cream, and ReNew Exfoliating Face Scrub.
These ingredients penetrate deep into the layers of your skin, where they help prevent and repair damage from the sun (like hyper-pigmentation, and dryness).
They don’t replace your sunscreen, but they do help it fight the effects of the sun.

Oh, a good hat and sunglasses will help, too. Wear them out!

10. Sleep smarter.

While eight hours of sleep every night seems like an impossible dream, you can do more in your sleep to help your skin. And it’s easy…

Your skin will benefit from regularly using clean silk pillowcases.

We know you love nestling up on crisp cotton, but cotton attracts moisture – right out of your skin and your hair. And if you’ve ever woken up with wrinkles after a hard sleep, you can thank your pillowcase for that, too.

Any dermatologist will tell you that silk glides easily and prevents creasing and wrinkles. (No more morning pillow-face!) Silk is also easier on your hair — it helps avoid tangles and breakage.

Better hair and skin while you sleep? Yes, you can!

Small Steps

Maybe jumping in with 10 big changes will make it tough to keep them all. But small steps — even one or two — will go a long way towards healthy, beautiful skin and hair.

So pick one and make it part of your routine this year. Glow up the easy way… one step at a time.

Take Your Vitamins https://luxeorganix.com/take-your-vitamins-panthenol-b5/ Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:17:40 +0000 https://luxeorganix.com/?p=17306 The post Take Your Vitamins appeared first on LuxeOrganix.

Your Mom has probably said it hundreds of times, “Jean, take your vitamins… and don’t forget the Panthenol.”

(Panthenol? Is that even a vitamin?)

Panthenol is a natural pro-vitamin, which is a substance that converts to a vitamin once it’s absorbed by your body. In the case of Panthenol, it converts to vitamin B5.

why olive oil is good for your skin

​Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid, is one of the most important vitamins in your body. It helps convert the food you eat (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) into energy. It’s also used by your body to produce red blood cells, promote healthy hair and skin, aid digestion, and create hormones. Some of its amazing benefits include:

  • Anti-inflammatory: Panthenol has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces the redness and swelling caused by sun exposure, rash, poison ivy, insect bites, dryness, and eczema.
  • Improves hydration: Panthenol penetrates the lower skin layers bringing water to the cells, and helps strengthen the skin’s barrier so the moisture is locked in.
  • Protects hair: Panthenol protects your hair from styling or environmental damage by locking in moisture. It also improves hair shine, softness, and strength
  • Helps heal wounds: The same cells that boost the skin’s barrier are important for healing wounds, this is why panthenol is often used for minor skin sores and conditions.

What does all of this mean to you?

For Your Skin

Panthenol attracts water from the atmosphere and binds with it, promoting water retention. Panthenol easily penetrates your skin, bringing that hydration to your skin’s deep layers. This helps improve elasticity and promotes cell regeneration. It also stimulates the cells that form the skin’s barrier. This minimizes water loss due to evaporation. These ultra-hydrating properties combined with Panthenol’s anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for soothing insect bites, poison ivy, diaper rashes, and eczema.

Studies are still underway, but Panthenol is proving to be a superstar at clearing acne, too. It’s thought that because Vitamin B5 increases coenzyme A (CoA), which is important in lipid (fat) metabolism and other cellular processes, it’s able to keep your facial pores clear. But it could be because Vitamin B5 helps your body deal with (reduce) stress, and stress is a frequent trigger of acne.

(We don’t think it matters HOW Panthenol helps clear acne, we’re just excited that it does!)

For Your Hair

Your scalp enjoys the same benefits from panthenol as your skin. Panthenol’s anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties hydrate your scalp and soothe irritation. Keeping moisture locked in may also help reduce itchy, dry scalp, and dandruff.

With your hair, after this pro-vitamin penetrates the hair cuticle, it promotes moisture retention and provides volume in the hair shaft. It has a similar action as in your skin, where it can penetrate deeply and lock in moisture. This creates a smooth hair strand, which makes your hair shine, prevents tangles, and protects strands from styling and environmental damage. It may also help to slow thinning of your hair.

To re-cap the benefits, panthenol moisturizes your skin and hair, leaving your skin soft and your hair shiny and tangle-free. It also helps protect both by building up the protective barrier and regenerating cells.

We’re often asked why we use panthenol in our products… Why wouldn’t we? We think it’s the perfect ingredient for younger-looking skin and more beautiful hair!

Marigolds… The Flower With Skin Care Power https://luxeorganix.com/marigolds-the-flower-with-skin-care-power/ Fri, 07 May 2021 14:07:24 +0000 https://luxeorganix.com/?p=14138 The post Marigolds… The Flower With Skin Care Power appeared first on LuxeOrganix.

]]>

You’ve probably seen these sunny flowers everywhere. A native plant of Mexico, these yellow, gold, and orange blooms are popular summer flowers and grow almost anywhere, even in poor soil…

But, what do you really know about Marigolds?

Turns out that this common flower has some pretty amazing super powers!

why olive oil is good for your skin

It’s been used for centuries around the globe for everything from honoring the dead to coloring fabrics and dressing wounds. It even appears in food!

This perky little flower may even predict the weather. Some believe if the Cape marigold (also called the African marigold) opens in the morning, rain is on the way. The Farmer’s Almanac says, “When the African marigold opens later than 8:00 a.m. or closes before 5:00 p.m., rain can be expected.”

Marigolds include a huge variety of plants, and they are in the same plant family as daisies and carnations. What we get excited about is Calendula Officinalis — the English marigold also known as pot marigold.

olive oil used for skincare

Benefits Your Skin & Scalp

We love Calendula Officinalis because it benefits your skin and your scalp. From soothing eczema, to relieving acne and healing wounds, marigolds are worth their weight in gold when it comes to skin care.

Marigolds have antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. WOW! That makes it a super power plant in our book.

Let’s break that down into what it means to you…

  • Anti-aging: Marigold extract helps keep your skin young in two different ways: It promotes skin tightness, which reduces day-to-day damage and makes the skin look younger, and it also increases hydration in the skin, which helps keep fine lines and wrinkles from appearing.
  • Like a good sunscreen, Calendula Officinalis extract helps protect skin against UV rays.
  • Calendula extract stimulates collagen production. Collagen “plumps up” your skin and keeps it elastic, like younger skin.
  • Soothing: Marigold’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties have a soothing effect on skin, calming conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Regular use may help control itchy flare-ups.
  • Its antiseptic properties are helpful for treating wounds and preventing acne.
  • Its antioxidant properties help protect against pollutants and photoaging caused by sunlight.

Can You Name 8 Benefits of Aloe Vera? https://luxeorganix.com/can-you-name-8-benefits-of-aloe-vera/ Fri, 18 Sep 2020 22:38:19 +0000 https://luxeorganix.com/?p=7287 The post Can You Name 8 Benefits of Aloe Vera? appeared first on LuxeOrganix.

You know that feeling when something is so good you want to use it in everything?

(Like Pumpkin Spice… Mmmmmmm-mmmm!)

Well, we feel that way about Organic Aloe Barbadensis, more commonly known as Aloe Vera.

It’s not just an easy-to-grow houseplant… It’s a super-hero, hiding in plain sight!

Aloe Vera is the gel that comes from an aloe plant, a succulent that grows wild in tropical and subtropical areas. While native to North Africa, Southern Europe, and the Canary Islands, the aloe plant is now grown worldwide.

For hundreds of years, Aloe Vera has been used by many different people around the globe. It is rich in nutrients, aids in digestion, and even boosts immunity — it nourishes the body from the inside. Among other things, Aloe Vera contains protein with 18-20 amino acids, and vitamins A, B, C, and E. As a topical gel, it’s a miracle worker for both your skin and your hair.

But what do you really know about Aloe Vera? We’ve taken the time to highlight eight of its really amazing benefits for your hair and skin.

Speeds Skin Healing

Aloe Vera is rich in antioxidants and minerals that boost your skin’s healing process. Its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties makes it one of the most natural remedies for sunburn or burnt skin.

It also speeds up skin cell reproduction, making it heal up to eight times faster. And Aloe Vera penetrates the epidermis (the outer layer of your skin) faster than water!

Moisturizes Skin

Aloe Vera applied to your skin helps form a protective layer, and it helps your skin retain moisture. Unlike moisturizers that rely on harsh chemicals, Aloe Vera does not leave a greasy film on your skin. In fact, it does just the opposite – Aloe Vera unclogs pores and softens your skin. This is why we use it in our Vitamin C Infusion Nourishing Daily Moisturizer. You’ll notice the difference right away. 

Because Aloe Vera gel helps to keep your skin hydrated and quickly heal wounds, it can be used as an aftershave-treatment to speed healing from razor burns and smaller nicks & cuts. (Ladies, share your moisturizer with the man in your life! Or just get him one of his own so you always have yours.)

It’s Anti-Aging

Aloe Vera has vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene in abundance, giving it amazing anti-aging properties.

Working in tandem with the anti-inflammatory benefits, this power duo diminishes those pesky fine lines, which is why we include it in our Brilliant Eyes Bio-Advanced Daily Eye Cream.

Aloe Vera also helps to increase collagen production, which increases your skin elasticity. …Nobody needs to know you’re aging!

Fights Infection and Acne

Aloe Vera is the perfect ingredient for gentle cleansing because it penetrates your skin quickly and it unclogs pores. Its antimicrobial properties treat pimples without causing any damage to the skin. And its antiseptic properties provide a layer of protection against bacteria.

Because it’s so gentle, we use it in our Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash, which is designed for sensitive skin.

Aloe Vera contains polysaccharides and gibberellins, which help in the growth of new cells and at the same time, reduce inflammation and redness. So, it works as an astringent that reduces the size of pores by flushing out the excess sebum, microbes, and dirt.

Lightens Blemishes

As you read above, Aloe Vera contains powers to boost skin cell reproduction, reduce redness, and fight skin inflammation. This makes it a natural treatment for stretch marks and acne scars. When combined with other ingredients that have a lightening effect, it also sends hyper-pigmentation packing.

Conditions Your Hair and Scalp

Similar to the way that Aloe Vera moisturizes your skin, it helps condition your hair and soften it. Regular use of Aloe Vera on your hair and scalp helps to maintain the vitality and shine of your hair. Who doesn’t want shiny hair?

Which is exactly why we’ve used it in both our Morrocan Argan Oil Conditioner and our Invigorate Biotin Conditioner. Shiny hair is not just #Goals – it’s achievable!

Helps Hair Grow

Aloe Vera increases the blood circulation to your scalp, activating new hair growth. It also provides essential minerals and vitamins to nourish your scalp, and it contains proteolytic enzymes that help repair damaged cells. A healthy scalp allows for more hair growth and less hair fall.

Eradicates Dandruff

Aloe Vera helps heal dry skin, fungal infections, and excessively oily skin. All of these are significant causes of dandruff. So, keeping them at bay, keeps dandruff away.

Why are we going on and on about Aloe Vera?

Because we thought you might not know about it… and we use it in many of our products.

Our newest product – the Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body wash – even lists it first in the ingredients list, which means it is the number one ingredient by volume. It’s also the number one ingredient in our Brilliant Eyes Bio-Advanced Eye Cream, and Vitamin C Infusion Nourishing Daily Face Moisturizer.

We also use Organic Aloe Vera in both the Morrocan Argan Oil and Invigorate Biotin Conditioners, the Kakadu Vitamin C Brightening Serum, and our Remarkably Clean Purifying Facial Cleanser.

We use it everywhere because it is just… AMAZING.

And we thought you should know more about it!

No. NO. NO! https://luxeorganix.com/no-no-no/ Fri, 28 Aug 2020 20:29:10 +0000 https://luxeorganix.com/?p=7180 The post No. NO. NO! appeared first on LuxeOrganix.

If you’re like most people you probably HATE to be told “NO,” right?

At LuxeOrganix, we like to think we’re different…

Like the word, “NO.”

We LOVE the word NO and we use it a LOT.

Take our new Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash, for example.

  • NO Parabens
  • NO Sulfates
  • NO Sodium Chloride
  • NO Drying Alcohols

We didn’t stop there, though…

  • NO Phthalates
  • NO Mineral oil
  • NO Petrolatum
  • NO Formaldehyde
  • NO Gluten

Some might say we went overboard, but we don’t think so.

Why all the NOs?

Well, we believe that beauty should not come at the expense of your health. We didn’t just make it our slogan, we use it as our guiding light. And these things are just NOT healthy.

Like parabens. Many products use parabens to inhibit microbial growth in their shampoos and lotions. The problem with parabens, though, is that they mimic estrogen and can disrupt your body’s hormone cycles. Why does that matter? Too much estrogen can cause breast tumors. Too little estrogen (your body can stop making it if it detects too much) could disrupt your reproductive health (for both men and women).

It’s a similar story for phthalates. They’re used in beauty products as solvents, which dissolve or dilute other ingredients, because they feel nice to the touch. The problem is that they break down quickly in your body and can disrupt the endocrine system, causing reproductive cancers.

Formaldehyde, a naturally occurring element, is used in everything from cosmetics, hair smoothers, and cleaning products, to air fresheners, paints, and pressed-wood products (in cabinets, furniture, and laminate flooring). Long-term exposure to Formaldehyde can cause asthma, dermatitis, itching, even Leukemia. Dermatitis and itching are exactly the things our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash are trying to heal!

…Do you see why we say NO?

We don’t just want a product that cleans and moisturizes your scalp and skin. We want one that isn’t going to make you sick. Not now, and not ever.

We carefully formulate our products to deliver an amazing experience. Many ingredients are natural and organic, when it makes sense, and are selected to provide specific benefits.

These are the things we say YES to, and there are a lot of them in our Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash!

Like Avena Sativa Oat Flour. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, oat flour can be instrumental in the treatment of psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, and other skin disorders.

Not only does it reduce itching and redness, but it also has proven anti-aging, hydrating, and reparative properties.

So, “Yes, please!” to oat flour, and all of the other healing and nourishing ingredients we’ve chosen to use.

Did you know that most shampoos and soaps are far too harsh for your scalp and skin?

They strip away everything, including all-important oils and nutrients that keep your scalp and skin balanced.

Not to mention what this does if you have psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, or other sensitive skin conditions. 

 

What is Psoriasis?

More than 8 million Americans have plaque psoriasis, the most common form of psoriasis. Of those, nearly 2 million have what is considered moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease driven by an overactive immune system. While the exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, your immune system and genetics play major roles.

Psoriasis can show up differently on different people, but some common symptoms include red, raised, and scaly skin patches that can itch and burn. These appear in patches (“plaques”) on your skin and scalp.

Harsh shampoos and soaps, highly acidic formulations, and artificial fragrances in skincare products can trigger or irritate this condition. Even in the healthiest skin, these ingredients can leave your scalp and skin dry, flaky, and itchy. (Dandruff, anyone?)

That’s why we created our new Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash.

Unlike those other products loaded with harsh soaps and artificial fragrances, our gentle, unscented irritation-free formula provides relief without a medicine-y smell.

LuxeOrganix Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash is safe for use by adults, children, and babies as a daily gentle shampoo and body wash to maintain a healthy pH balance on your scalp and skin. It’s a godsend for sensitive skin!

To promote absorption and prevent stripping, we lowered the pH of our product to 5.5 and included calming, nourishing organic and natural ingredients that are proven to nurture irritated and sensitive skin.

We started with Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) as our very first ingredient, which means it is highly concentrated in this formula. This natural miracle ingredient is proven to sooth and moisturize deep into your skin. It offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, humectant, and soothing, anti-itch qualities for all skin types, especially dry, damaged, broken, sensitive, and irritated skin.

You don’t need to be suffering with Psoriasis to reap these benefits.

Next up, we added Calendula Officinalis Extract. Calendula is a cleansing and detoxifying herb, historically known for treating chronic infections. Because of its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties, it is useful for healing wounds, calming burning and flaking skin from eczema and psoriasis, and even for relieving diaper rash, the itch from bug bites, and other inflammatory conditions of the skin.

We’ve also included Avena Sativa Oat Flour. Another anti-inflammatory, oat flour can be effective in the treatment of psoriasis, as well as dermatitis, eczema, and other skin disorders. Not only does it reduce itching and redness, but it also has proven anti-aging, hydrating, and reparative properties for all skin types.

You’d think that these would be enough, right? But we didn’t stop there…

We also added Orange Stem Cells! Plant stem cells are proven to restore and improve skin tissue structure, and restore the quality of skin, leaving it visibly firmer, toned, and smoother. Produced from stem cells of Mediterranean orange, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange peel) callus culture extract stimulate collagen and elastin production, renew cell growth, and minimize sun damage. This helps to protect your skin and maintain its delicate moisture balance.

We don’t know about you, but we’re crazy for this new natural and Organic Psoriasis Shampoo + Body Wash.
 

You don’t need to have psoriasis to use it; you just need to want soft, healthy scalp and skin.
