How to properly care for your skin – a naturopathic approach

The skin is our largest organ. It is delicate and often unforgiving. It is our barrier between our body and the outside world, and will act as our external sign to demonstrate ill health when we are not radiating wellness on the inside.

Stay hydrated

Dehydrated skin is less able to make new skin cells and repair itself. Dry skin can also make wrinkles much more noticeable.

• Drink lots of water. 2L minimum daily.
• Protect your skin with barrier creams or serums to lock in the moisture.

Protect your skin from damage

• Stay out of the sun for extended periods. The sun can dehydrate the skin causing wrinkles, and             damage from UV rays can lead to blemishes and skin cancers.
• Ensure a good barrier cream or serum to protect from fluorescent light as this can damage the skin too!
• Antioxidants can help to repair damage on the inside, and antioxidants used topically can be a direct target to the skin to repair damage on the outside.
• Vitamin C and Vitamin E are fantastic internally and externally for skin repair.

Don’t smoke

One of the most damaging things that you can do for your skin is smoke. It depletes the skin of essential oxygen & nutrients by narrowing the blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin, thereby decreasing blood flow.

Have a regular skin care regime

Skill cells are replaced constantly – the skin you have one month from today will be formed of completely new skin cells! It is important to follow a cleanse-tone-moisturise regime every day.

• Cleanse daily, morning and evening. We need to remove the dirt and grime that accumulates.
• Toning your skin after cleansing is an important step to close your pores & remove any left over dirt, plus the residue from the tap water.
• Moisturising locks in the moisture to our skin and also provides us with a barrier to prevent dirt accumulating directly on the skin.
• Use a deeply cleansing mask at least once a week as it can help to draw out toxins from the skin. SkinB5’s Clay Mask has been specifically designed to remove toxins & residual dirt, and deliver key nutrients directly into the skin.

Nutritional care

We need ample nutrients for good skin health. A deficiency in zinc will often slow down healing of skin. Acne is linked to a deficiency of key nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B5 and vitamin A, and can be corrected with supplementing with balanced formula’s such as SkinB5’s Acne Control tablets.

Refined foods can deplete the body of the nutrients & antioxidants required for good skin, so choosing whole foods will always result in clearer more radiant skin.

When we look after our skin with respect and provide the right environment for healing & repair, it will reward us by protecting us from external infectious agents. Don’t take your skin for granted – if you care for it well, it will care for you.

How to Create the Perfect Skincare Routine

Finding a skincare routine that is both efficient and complimentary to your skin type might seem like a tough task, but is doesn’t have to be! Have a read of our 4 handy tips below and uncover the routine that is perfectly suited to you and your skin:

1. First you need to figure out your skin type. Is your skin generally oily, dry or combination skin? Do you find you have that oily sheen at the end of the day that you just can’t get rid of? If so your skin can probably be categorized as oily. Or is your skin flaky at times, and perhaps it may feel like it is pulling or feels tight after you cleanse your face? These are classic signs of dry skin.

However there is a third option. Many people find their T-Zone to be oily, but under their chin and other areas to be dry and scaly. This is defined as combination skin, and should be treated accordingly. Be sure to buy the correct kinds of skincare to suit your determined skin type.

2. Cleanse twice daily with a mild cleanser. Using only your fingertips or a soft washcloth (avoid rough, damaging scrubbing pads as these can cause fine abrasions on the skins surface) thoroughly cleanse the face, and don’t overlook your jaw line, neck and even in front of and behind your ears. We recommend using a gentle foaming cleanser, especially if you suffer from inflamed breakouts. A handy tip here is to ensure you cleanse twice every time. This is especially important in the evening; the first cleanse removes and make up or surface impurities and the second gets down deep into the pores. So remember: Cleanse, rinse well, and then repeat.

3. Then apply a soothing face mask, if you have the time. We recommend at least once or twice weekly for best results. This helps to calm the skin and draw out impurities, as well as gently exfoliating and removing those pesky dead skin cells that can clog up your pores and lead to dreaded breakouts.
Leave the mask for 5-10 minutes or the recommended time allocation, and then gently remove with water or a soft wash cloth. Try not to pull the skin or scrub at all - the skin on your face and neck is much more sensitive than the rest of your body and needs to be cared for accordingly!

4. Apply an oil-free moisturizer. It may seem a strange tip for those with oily skin, but this is a common misconception – oily skin needs to be moisturised too! So don’t ever skip this important step. A lot of acne or pimple medications can over-dry the skin, and this leaves the skin thirsty for moisture. To minimize the chance of dry and peeling skin, apply a light moisturiser twice daily. Choose a moisturizer that is best suited to your skin type, and if you don’t see desirable results, try another! For oily and combination skin, we recommend trying a moisturiser that controls shine and is non-comedogenic.

Top Quick Tips:

1. If you use toners or astringents and they are over-drying your skin, discontinue use. You will not harm your skin by not using a toner
2. Double cleanse for best results – especially at night
3. Always let the skin dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step

How to Body & Skin Detox

Detoxing the body and skin is an important process to go through every 6 months to help remove the build up of toxins that accumulate in our tissues and cells. Detoxing & cleansing takes the workload off the main organs like the liver and kidneys and allows some much needed regeneration time. The health benefits are numerous - including improved immunity, clearer radiant skin, more energy and healthy hormones.

Follow the following Body & Skin Detoxing Regime for 7 days to give you back that sparkle in your step and the glow in your skin!

Foods to avoid:

• All dairy products
• Grains including wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, quinoa and rice
• Sugar, including coconut sugar, agave, honey & artificial sweeteners
• Dried fruit
• Packaged food!
• Alcohol
• Coffee (if you do drink a lot you may include 1 coffee or black tea per day for the first 1-2 days to lesson a withdrawal, but ideally avoid altogether).

Food Must Do’s:

• WATER! Clean purified water is essential to flush the body’s toxins. Add at least an extra litre of water daily while detoxing
• Start each day with the juice of half a lemon in warm water before breakfast
• Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, the more raw vegetables the better
• Eat a medium amount of fruit, especially organic berries
• Choose lots of fish and slow cooked chicken, preferably organic
• Have 1 tbsp chia seeds in plenty of water or a ‘chia pudding’ at night time to remove toxins from bowels
• Drink green tea instead of coffee
• Ideally include 1 freshly squeezed juice that contains beetroot, carrot, celery & ginger which are all great to assist in detoxing

Clay Masks

French Green Clay has been traditionally used to help draw toxins from the skin & tighten the pores. The clay is very high in trace minerals - Egyptians considered it to be sacred, due to its many amazing regenerating and energetic properties. It’s like a superfood for the skin! Use a clay mask like the Skin Purifying Mask from SkinB5 daily - perfect for acne-prone skin or those with rosacea & blemishes as it works very gently to draw out the bad stuff (toxins) and put in the good stuff (minerals).

Skin Brushing

Also known as Dry Body Brushing, this helps to stimulate your lymphatic system and improve circulation. Use a natural body brush on dry skin first thing in the morning before you shower. In gentle circular motions, start at the feet and always work towards the heart. Don’t forget your back, buttocks and thighs! When finished have a shower and alternate hot and cold water to assist in stimulating circulation and removing dead skin cells.

Supplement Detox Support

• Have 1 serve of chlorophyll liquid 2-3 times per day to assist in alkalising, and internal cleansing.
• Get some extra antioxidant support with superfoods such as acai berry, spirulina, barley grass.
• Take a good quality multi-vitamin & mineral and a dairy-free probiotic supplement daily.
• A liver tonic that contains herbs such as St Mary’s Thistle and Dandelion Root can assist in supporting and strengthening your liver & digestion. Talk to a naturopath or herbalist about taking a liver support formula while detoxing, and check any medication contraindications.

In Search of a Safe Acne Treatment that Works

 In Search of a Safe Acne Treatment that Works

SkinB5 Offers an Effective Natural Alternative to Dangerous Acne Drugs

Prescription acne drug, Diane 35 deaths have been the latest buzz in newspapers and online health and acne forums around the world. With multiple countries banning the popular acne drug and contraceptive pill after four related deaths, acne sufferers have become sceptical of their acne treatments, and rightfully so.

This isn’t the first time a routine acne medication has led to crisis. Isotretinoin, a common prescription acne medication, has been linked to birth defects, depression, psychological illness, severe dryness of skin and even a few suicides, yet it remains one of the top prescribed acne medications around the world.

So what is an effective acne treatment solution?

Acne needs to be treated at the source, with an treatment that won’t have any dangerous side effects or harm other functions of the body. With a slew of dangerous acne drugs on the market, many acne sufferers are turning to homemade acne remedies and alternative natural treatments.
Many research studies point to various minerals and vitamins which can support skin health and even reduce acne. The leading natural acne cure is Vitamin B5, which is clinically proven to reduce acne by regulating skin oil production. However, one of these natural acne supplements is not enough to cure acne alone.

In 2006, after extensive research entrepreneur and natural health enthusiast Judy Cheung got the idea to create an all-natural acne treatment supplement that is effective, side effect-free and most importantly safe.

“I have a lifelong passion for alternative, medicine and wanted to give acne sufferers a REAL natural solution to acne and an alternative to dangerous prescription acne medications and chemical face washes. After extensive review of existing clinical data and naturopathic textbooks, I came up with SkinB5— an internal acne supplement based on sound scientific research.”

SkinB5 is a unique and potent combination of eight powerful acne clearing key vitamins and minerals, at carefully determined dosages to restore skin health by regulating skin oil production and hormones, reducing stress and boosting the immune system—leading to an overall decrease in acne lesions and inflammation.

Shortly after its launch in 2006, positive customer feedback came pouring in proving SkinB5’s success as a leading Vitamin B5 based natural acne treatment system. Since its launch, SkinB5 has expanded into an all-natural five product line which treat acne both internally and externally.
"I am a long time acne sufferer and have tried almost every product on the market including prescription drugs. The drug worked, but only temporarily. Since it is a potent medication and has the potential for harmful side effects it is not an option as a long standing treatment. SkinB5 has provided me a long term option and has been the only product that has proven to clear my acne almost completely, naturally," writes Julie Blair, a SkinB5 user from the United States.

 

"I just wanted to send in a message about my SkinB5 experience. Honestly, thank you so much! I have suffered from acne for so many years, I have spent thousands of dollars on acne treatments. Since day one of the SkinB5 treatment I saw the results, I stopped breaking out almost straight away! My face has cleared dramatically! This is the first treatment that I have found which is easy to use, and actually works! I wish I took a before and after shot, because I still can't believe the results! Thank you so much! A very happy customer!“ submitted by another amazed SkinB5 user Dallas Wellby from Australia.

 

“Many of our customers come to us after trying almost every acne treatment on the market. They find that SkinB5 works even better than prescription medications, and without the horrible side effects and actually improves overall health,” says Cheung. “I’m so happy that with SkinB5 I can give teens and adults an effective, safe and natural alternative acne treatment, and save them from the scarring grief that many prescription acne drugs can cause.”

Acne Myth #2: Eating Wheat Causes Acne

 FALSE. Acne Myth BUSTED!

The reason there are theories that wheat causes acne is because wheat products can alter the glycemic index (GI) which provides a measure of how quickly blood sugar levels rise.  All high GI products eg. white bread, most white rice, corn flakes, extruded breakfast cereals, glucose, maltose, maltodextrins, potato, sweets etc, cause blood sugar to spike dramatically.  Elevated blood sugar stimulates your body to pump out insulin which then triggers a cascade of hormonal effects, including elevated levels of androgens (the acne-causing male hormones), excess oil, and increased skin cell production, all of which lead to clogged pores and breakouts.  Also, some cases of acne (and eczema, psoriasis) are aggravated by food allergies, eg. gluten which is found in such grains as wheat, barley and rye.

SkinB5 Natural Acne Treatment launches New Improved products – Better Formulas, Sleeker Packaging & Greater User Experience!

SkinB5 Natural Acne Treatment launches New Improved products – Better Formulas, Sleeker Packaging & Greater User Experience!

SkinB5 just launched the new improved formulation and new look for its Acne Control Moisturiser and Cleanser – now Cleansing Mousse.

The main reason for the new look was to improve the application method, reduce wastage and extend the life of the product. Formulation changes were to better meet the wide ranging needs of acne sufferers across the globe as SkinB5 is fast attracting a number of loyal users from all continents.

The Acne Control Moisturiser now comes in a 50 ml airless pump. The bottom of the bottle moves up as the product is used,
eliminating virtually all wastage, and giving the user fresh moisturiser that has not been exposed to air, which could affect the stability of the content.

The Acne Control Cleansing Mousse (formerly Acne Control Cleanser) formulation is even gentler on the skin and comes in an innovative pump bottle that creates a foaming consistency for easy, spill-free application. SkinB5 users can expect their Cleansing Mousse to last longer, since less serum is needed for each pump of Cleansing Mousse.
 
“Creating a foaming Cleansing Mousse was a challenge, as many acne products use synthetic chemicals to create the foam effect. We needed to stay true to our 100% natural commitment, and we were able to find a pump that creates a foaming effect by infusing air into the cleansing serum, NO chemicals added!” states Judy Cheung, Co-Founder and Managing Director of SkinB5.

“We are constantly looking for better ways to make our products more effective and enhance the customer’s experience,” stated Cheung. “We are confident the new Moisturiser and Cleansing Mousse will be a big success with SkinB5 customers!

Adult Acne is on the Rise

Adult Acne is on the Rise

The Causes & Treatments that REALLY Work!

Acne isn’t a problem faced by just teenagers anymore. An estimated 50% of women and 42% of men report having acne in their 20s. Even more shocking, 26% of women and 12% of men still have acne in their 40s! (According to a study at the University of Alabama).

 

Doctors don’t know the exact cause of adult acne, and why it is on the rise. Factors such as amount of skin oil production, hormones, diet and stress can all influence acne severity and possibly cause the condition to hang around past the teenage years.

 

As the frequency and severity of adult acne grows, so does the need for an effective adult acne treatment that is safe.

 

SkinB5 – an internal natural acne treatment based on the acne fighting powers of Vitamin B5 has been particularly successful at treating adult acne cases.

“Adult acne is a condition that we have long been aware of at SkinB5,” states Judy Cheung, SkinB5 managing director. “Many times adult acne is overlooked. We specifically reach out to our adult customers and work with them to learn about their acne and lifestyle to try and pinpoint the possible cause of their acne and recommend a specialised SkinB5 treatment plan.”

Adult acne is different from teen acne, and more difficult to cure. Many adults have had acne since puberty, making it a persistent and serious problem, requiring a longer treatment time to go away for good.

Furthermore, adult acne is often a result of hormone imbalance which can be difficult to treat with topical washes and prescription acne drugs.

SkinB5’s formulation treats acne from the inside with seven core vitamins and minerals in effective yet safe amounts. The combination and dosage is administered orally in the form of tablets, and over time, the body is brought into a state that prevents acne.  SkinB5 uses natural vitamins, so there are no side effects.

SkinB5 effectively treats acne by reducing skin oil production, balancing hormones, reducing stress and boosting the immune system.

Acne sufferers of all ages are praising SkinB5.  Natalie Carter – a SkinB5 customer from New Zealand writes, "At 41 years of age I've suffered with acne for over 20 years. In this time I have tried everything to cure it. From roaccutane, anti-biotic, contraceptive pill, complete diet changes, supplements, apple cider vinegar, raw potato & every topical cream & face wash. I have spent thousands & thousands of dollars. A few years ago my acne progressed in to Cystic acne. I decided I had nothing to lose trying SkinB5 and to my great surprise my acne has lessened significantly. My acne was stubborn and it did take around 5 months for me to really notice a difference. I am delighted to say that Skin B5 really does work. It has changed my life. Thank you SkinB5."

“If you are an adult with acne – don’t despair!” states Cheung. “We want to get the word out and educate people about the realities of adult acne. SkinB5 is a safe solution, with real results.”

Winner of our 2013 Acne horror story Halloween Contest!!!

Congratulations Melissa Dennis, you’ve won a SkinB5 Complete Care Pack!

“One morning I woke up to see that I had a massive blind pimple on the side of my cheek, it was a terrible time as I had a photo shoot a few days later and even the best makeup couldn't hide it!  I didn't want to leave my house because of this big pimple. I had people asking me 'What's that?' and I felt so embarrassed to have to answer with: 'A very big pimple'.

I had this one pimple in particular for several months and I was sick of looking at it, I tried almost everything to get rid of it and I even went to the dermatologist and they told me it would cost $100 to remove this pimple and 'drain' the oil.

So I thought I'd start using Skinb5 and it was really helping my skin but I wasn't sure if it was able to get rid of my giant pimple! Within just a few weeks of using skinb5 I was noticing some great results, the giant pimple started to reduce in size!

 One day while I was talking to a friend, I felt something drip down my face. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see the most disgusting thing! This pimple was oozing out and was dripping down my face, I nearly vomited and felt so embarrassed! The pimple has completely disappeared, thankfully! “

Types of Pimples & How to Treat Them

 

Acne is a common problem that plagues numerous teens and adults around the world. As a matter of fact, acne is the most common skin disorder world-wide and 85% of people will experience it at some point in their life. If you have a pimple (or two) popping up now and then, don’t fret! We have everything you need to know about pimples and how to treat them!

Different Types of Acne:

Whiteheads

Whiteheads are clogged pores that are not inflamed and are located underneath the skin. Whiteheads remain closed and often look like little white bumps that you can feel on your skin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blackheads

Blackheads are non-inflamed clogged pores, very similar to whiteheads. Blackheads are on the surface of the skin though and are exposed to air. The air oxidizes the oil from your body that is present in the clogged pore and as a result turns black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Papules

A papule is when a clogged pore like a whitehead or a blackhead gets irritated and becomes inflamed. Once it gets inflamed it becomes bigger and turns red, not to mention it also hurts. Papules look like small red bumps (although some can be big) and are normally elevated above the skin by a small amount.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pustules

Pustules are pimples that are hard and inflamed with a white or yellow centre. They are also full of pus. Although they might be painful, and pimple popping is oh-so-fun, don’t pop pustules!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nodules

Nodules are hard, inflamed, painful pimples that are not filled with pus. They are much more severe that papules or pustules. Because nodules are under the skin it can create scarring and take longer to go away then regular pimples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cysts

Cysts are large, inflamed and filled with pus. Cysts and Nodules can be created the same way as papules and pustules only cysts and nodules happen when the pimple starts much deeper in the skin and therefore becomes more severe. You shouldn’t try to squeeze any of these pimples-especially cysts and nodules.

So how do I get rid of pimples?

There are many acne treatments out there – some work better than others, depending on the severity and type of acne you have! A good place to start is with a daily skincare routine. And internal and external acne treatment method will treat acne the fastest and get you the best results!

Wash your face morning and night with a light cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt (look for something with a low salicylic acid content). In addition to your topical regime, look for an internal acne supplement to help regulate skin oil production.

There are natural acne supplements (SkinB5 is a popular one) and prescription acne drugs (like Roaccutane). Natural acne treatments are good because they are cheaper and generally don’t have any side effects! However, if you chose to use a prescription drug for acne, be sure to consult your doctor about its safety and possible side effects.
