Vitamin E: Why we love to have it in our everyday skincare products!

9/17/2020

1 Comment

 
Vitamin E may not be as famous as Vitamin C, however it can be called the miracle of beauty & skincare as well. The last few years, there is an extensive use of Vitamin E in a wide range of skin & body care products.

Vitamin E & Its Benefits on Your Skin

​Vitamin E – or in the world of beauty a-tocopherol - is usually produced in a synthetic way but it can be also found widely in many natural products. Avocado, pumpkin & wheat germ oil are excellent sources of vitamin E for both external & internal use. In skincare, vitamin E is commonly found in an oily or cream form and more specifically in topical antioxidants or moisturizers.

Vitamin E Capsules: How To Use Them For Best Skin Care Results

SKIN BENEFITS FROM VITAMIN E
​

Vitamin E keeps fresh the lipids on the skin, it protects the external skin barrier intact & by this way helps to stay hydrated & eliminates free radicals. Due to its antioxidants, it can discourage sebum oxidation that prevents any possible breakout. Vitamin E also keeps skin texture soothed while protecting it from pollutants & harmful sun effects.

How To Incorporate Vitamin E in You Daily Skincare Routine & Get The Best Results

​HOW YOU CAN USE VITAMIN E IN YOUR SKIN CARE TREATMENT
​
​When using vitamin E in skincare products, it is only available in small/limited concentration. Using it by this way is far from opening a capsule & applying the ingredient in its pure form on your skin.
  1. If you have a scar or area you want to heal, pierce a vitamin E capsule & just apply the serum to the suffering area for a few weeks.
  2. Vitamin E is highly regarded for its wonderful antioxidant & its action against premature aging. In case you have sensitive skin, you can simply use it in small quantities. If you experience acne or redness, it may be a sign that your skin doesn’t tolerate it.

KEEP IN MIND that people with oily or acne prone skin should be careful on how they use Vitamin E. Too much quantity of it can cause acne breakouts.


BLOOMEY LOVES VITAMIN E
​

Bloomey do believe in the power & skin benefits of Vitamin E. For this reason, we have incorporated in a wide range of products, from face cleansers to body moisturizer. 
In the above gallery you can discover some of them. Tap for details  & discover more!
​

VITAMIN E: ECZEMA & PSORIASIS
​


​Vitamin E can relieve dryness, itching and flaking associated with eczema or atopic dermatitis.

Study has already found that potable vitamin E supplements could improve significantly eczema symptoms. Although vitamin E oil has not been well studied in eczema treatment, it can improve the effectiveness of topical moisturizers.

Regarding to psoriasis, a study has also found that the topical use of vitamin E can help to psoriasis symptoms alleviation without any serious side effects. However, the effects of vitamin E on psoriasis are not as good as most treatments available. Vitamin E oil can be a good choice for people who want to avoid prescription drugs and who have mild psoriasis.

What you should know about solid lotion bars: A wonderful natural alternatine to traditional body lotions.

11/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Applying a deep body moisturizer after bath is a key part of skin care routine to keep your skin hydrated & silky soft. Most women skip it, either because of lack of time or tiredness! I just have good news for all of you! Here is a quick fix solution: solid lotion bars.
What is a solid lotion bar made of?
Lotion bars are concentrated bars that melt when rubbed on skin and form a moisturizing layer like a film just because they are made of natural beeswax combined with nourishing oils to make a body lotion in a solid form.
A lotion bar doesn’t contain any water. That’s why they look like a bar of soap. So, they don;t require any preservative and are shelf stable for at least 6 months.
​

What you should know about solid lotion bars: A wonderful natural alternatine to traditional body lotions.

Reasons why prefer to use solid lotion bars.
​- If you are someone who hates slathering on lotion, here is a quick fix for you- lotion They are made with completely natural ingredients that are so skin nourishing!
- Lotion bars are easy handling & extremely portable, especially if you can store them in a soap tin. Very comfortable for those travelling a lot, who need space & comfort but not a dehydrated skin.
- Also, ideal for kids.
- They are concentrated: no fillers-no additives-no preservatives, just the good stuff your skin needs. Extremely benefitial for dry skin/skin that tends to get dehydrated.
- They are long-lasting. A little goes a long way when you are using a lotion bar.
​

How should I use a solid lotion bar?
You just simply rub it on your skin-preferably on damp skin after showering when your skin is normally warmer and ready to absorb the oils in the lotion bar-and the heat from your body slowly melts it. Especially beneficial for dry feet and hands, but they can be used all over the body just like a traditional lotion. You can first warm the bar in your hands a bit, and then rub the melting bar over your skin.

In case you find that lotion bars not absorb as quickly as many traditional lotions, spend a little extra time rubbing it on your skin.

Reasons why use organic deodorants in our personal care

6/21/2018

4 Comments

 
We live in a world where most of skin care products that we use on a daily basis are actually full of the most toxic chemicals. This also applies to personal care and especially for deodorants.

There is a lot of debate about deodorants and every day studies confirm that continuous exposure to toxic chemicals in personal hygiene products, such as antiperspirants, may be related to allergic reactions, Alzheimer’s, and even breast cancer in women. This may come as no surprise considering the fact that most of commercial deodorants are made up of aluminum chlorohydrate, as well as up to 20 other toxic chemicals.
Reasons why use organic deodorants in our personal care
Let’s showcase below some reasons why we should switch to natural personal care product.

 1. They are free of aluminum
This is a significant advantage. Many safe to use deodorants rely on baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and plant-based ingredients to absorb sweat, which is a better alternative to aluminum.

 2. They aren’t labeled as antiperspirants
Most organic deodorant may act to absorb the fluids, but they don’t clog the pores from secreting it as many mass production antiperspirants do. But, how is this a good thing? Our bodies are actually designed in such a way that they need to expel sweat in order to cool down or to excrete toxins. So basically, sweating is kind of a body detoxification.

 3. Organic deodorants improve your underarms’ health
Some people get disappointed when they sometimes sense an odor when they switch to a natural formula. Although, the product is not to blame, as it usually takes a week or two for your body to adjust to the deodorant. During that time, depending on your body chemistry, you might experience higher sweating and some odor. This is actually a sign that your body detoxifies itself.

 4. Natural deodorants don’t have synthetic fragrances
​Most people like deodorants that have a certain scent which prevails over the smell of sweat.  Most of these fragrances originate from artificial fragrances that are a combination of hundreds and sometimes even thousands of chemical elements, often associated with a risk of health harm. Organic deodorants that work effectively use safe essential oils to defeat the bad odor.
Reasons why use organc deodorants.
 5. Organic deodorant (either sticks or roll-on) can be as effective as mass produced antiperspirants
Instead of aluminum and parabens, natural body care products use a mix of essential oils, baking soda, coconut oil and cornstarch. While soda and starch change the pH of your skin to make it hard for bacteria to thrive, oils act as antibacterial agents and provide pleasant scent.

 6. Safe deodorants open up your skin pores
Keeping your pores unclogged is good for skin health.

 7. Natural and organic body care products help for balanced lymph nodes
Balanced lymph nodes are essential as they decrease the risk of breast cancer in women.

8. Organic deodorants could reduce potential risk of breast tumor in women
​
Antiperspirant chemicals penetrate into the skin through small abrasions and get stuck within the body. Given the underarm is close to the lymph node and breasts, if antiperspirants were to contribute to toxins accumulation that would increase the risk of becoming your cells cancerous.
Reasons why use organic deodorants in our personal care
  9. Nursing women reduce chemicals passed on to their baby’s milk
Nursing mothers would want to provide their infant clean milk, free of chemicals. Natural solutions help keep artificial ingredients at arm’s length.

 10. A natural deodorant can help you keep your hormone in balance
That’s because they’re paraben-free, they have estrogenic qualities. These chemicals can cause a disturbance in your hormone levels because estrogen gets absorbed through the skin.

 11. Avoid further liver damage
As aluminum allegedly could have downside effects on liver. More specifically, if someone already has a liver condition, it is highly recommended they consult their doctor before using conventional antiperspirants.

 12. Protect the environment
​
Buying organic deodorants means you oppose massive manufacturing that has a significant carbon footprint and poisons the environment.
​Now that you know what’s bad about mass produced/commercial antiperspirants and what the benefits of using organic deodorants are, why not switching to all-natural personal care?

A natural way to make your soap bars last longer!

5/14/2018

0 Comments

 
How we store soap bars after use, plays a significant role in the product’s freshness & makes it last longer. Soap bars should be kept dry after use, ideally on a soap base with holes and away from heat.

Recently, I have discovered a very simple and natural holder!
Picture
Turn your loofah bar into a soap pad! You can either use the remaining one from your loofah soap bar or buy one. You can easily find it in stores with organic products or natural cosmetics. Thanks to its holes, it allows water to drain and air to circulate, keeping your bar soaps away from muck & hydration!
​
It can be easily cleaned by simply holding it under running water and giving it a few squeezes. 
A natural way to make your soap bars last longer!
Think natural!

                Loofah: The natural sponge

                                 BENEFITS
​
  • Eco- friendly 
  • Doesn't take up a lot of space.
  • It's breathable and drains the water.
  • Easy to maintain. Just rinse it under running water or place it in the dishwasher, 
  • It helps soap last longer.
