Makeup Removal


Whether it's been a long day or a fun night the one thing you must always remember to do for radiant skin is wash your face before hitting the sack! Our Rose Hip Seed Facial Cleanser and Eye Makeup Removal is made up of seaweed and rose hip seed, a foaming cleanser that is gentle yet powerful.

Changing your sheets and pillowcase about once a week will also provide an added bonus. Think of all the oil, dirt, and bacteria that accumulates and manifests on your skin for 8 hours at a time! Don't let your clean face go to waste each time you go to sleep.

If you're a snoozer and a bit too tired to bother with washing your face every day there are plenty of quick tricks you can use instead. Try keeping a pack of makeup removing sheets by your bed which you can use even if you're half asleep. Just wetting a small towel and moving it in gentle, small circles will help, as well as moisturizing your face and just tissuing it off.

Anti-Aging Tips



Looking old but feeling young?
You may not be able to get your skin looking like it used to when you were in your 20s, but with a little work you can make a lot of change.
Of course it is important to eat well and exercise, so make sure to squeeze in at least 30 minutes of activity three times a week. Eating whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are a sure way to get the ever-important antioxidants.
Taking an anti-aging supplement will also boost your antioxidant intake.
Green tea has numerous health benefits, even when it comes to your skin. Green tea has been shown to protect against all types of cancer as well as dementia and heart disease. Start your day right or relax in the evening with a nice hot cup of this anti-aging miracle.
Protecting yourself from the sun may be one of the most important factors contributing to healthy, wrinkle-free skin. Kill two birds with one stone by using a moisturizer with SPF added in. Be Natural Organics' Anti-aging Collection is an aged skin's best friend. It includes all of our favorite age-defying products like the Daily Botanical Enzyme Peel, Sea Kelp Moisturizer, Mother of Pearl Facial Scrub, and much more. You can give it a try or even take our 4 step anti-aging challenge!

One of the easiest ways to improve your skin is to hydrate - both in and out! Drink plenty of water so your body can flush out toxins.
Our CoQ10 Balancing Mist contains the perfect mix of antioxidants and vitamins that will nourish and replenish your thirsty skin and give it a nutritional boost. All you need to do is spray this light mist on clean skin, rub on a moisturizer or serum and you're set. It can be used throughout the day whenever your skin needs a little pick me up.

When Life Gives You Lemons

















Lemons are packed with tons of nutrients, including Vitamin C. As an antioxidant, your skin's natural defense against free radicals, Vitamin C fights off unstable molecules (which come from environment pollutants, smoking, and sun exposure) that can age your skin. This little guy also helps with collagen production - the stuff that helps keep your skin from sagging and looking dull.

But don't just stop at lemons and lemonade! Here's a list of other fruits and veggies that will boost the appearance and feel of your skin:

Apples: Loaded with antioxidants, can control acne, and improve complexion.
Avocados: Work well as face masks.
Blueberries: Contain lots and lots of antioxidants. Produce collagen and keep skin supple and smooth. Same with many of the other berries. If you only eat one fruit, make it this one.
Carrots: Anti-acne and anti-aging.
Cucumbers: Can prevent pimples, blackheads, dryness, and wrinkles.
Peaches: Tighten skin, unclog pores, reduce wrinkles, lighten age spots.
Red Onion: Age spot remover.
Watermelon: Reduces blemishes.
