Aging Gracefully: why skincare starts from within
It’s no surprise that time does not discriminate against race, color, religion, gender, age, status, profession, class, character, personality, experience, talent….. Nothing that we are subjected to in this physical life is exempt. Time is uncontrollable; it continues regardless of our beliefs and best efforts.
The truth is that we are all a product of time-from the time we are conceived to the time we take our last breath. Time will continue to tick long after we are gone.
WHAT OUR SKIN REMEMBERS
Time has a way of telling it’s story of youth, middle age, and golden years through skin texture, the expression lines, and structural changes.
Wrinkles around the eyes and marionette lines around the mouth can come from someone that is always joyful and smiling. Conversely, “11 lines” between the eyebrows and wrinkles on the forehead seem to reflect deep, intense thoughts of concern and hardship. Wrinkles on the hands often represent hard-working hands that toiled in physical labor.
In our youth, we can’t wait to get older. In our middle age, we can’t wait to retire. In our golden years, we look back, trying to make up for lost time hoping time will slow down. But do we ever really, fully enjoy the moment of each day when we are so busy running from time?
THE ILLUSION OF THE “FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH”
I am no innocent bystander of this time-chasing mentality. With that being said, there are so many skincare products on the market that cater to our insecurities and fears of getting older-from face washes to creams, serums, peptides, makeup, and gadgets. It’s a global multi-hundred-billion-dollar beauty industry offering hundreds of thousands of products that promise temporary solution to the fountain of youth.
I admit I want to look my best and even more so as I approach the next half of my life.
The difference is, I have learned through the years that our outer appearance is nearly as good as our inner health. It matters what we consume through our mouth, our ears, our eyes, our minds, and our hearts. Prioritizing your health with nutritious food, staying active with exercise, stimulate and challenging the mind, and maintaining healthy skin with clean ingredients will provide the optimal results.
NURTURING YOUR INNER BEAUTY
What we slather on and how we treat our skin-the organ that preserves and protects the workings of the inner beauty-will create and tie all of it together, allowing your best to shine through.
That exact philosophy is why I started handcrafting my own skincare. I wanted to create products that don’t fight against time or mask your history, but instead feed, nourish, and protect your skin with the cleanest, purest, ingredients possible.
If you are ready to shift your routine from “anti-aging” to truly nurturing and embracing your skin, I invite you to explore our handcrafted collections.
The luxurious organic high quality ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter, tamanu oil, sunflower oil, and castor oil are the base of our facial bars which makes for a moisturizing creamy soothing clean experience gentle for daily use that can be included into your skincare routine. Additionally, we added alpha lipoic acid, aspen bark extract, colloidal oats, and a blend of essential oils that will help control blemishes, improve skin texture, hydration, reduce inflammation, and combat the appearance of aging with consistent use.
