Amazonian Food for your Skin

 

 

bowls of herbs
Greetings!
Your skin is your largest organ... and your thinnest organ.  Only 1/10 of an inch separates you from all sorts of environmental toxins. And to make things more challenging, your skin is permeable allowing what you apply to your skin to possibly enter your bloodstream which quickly disperses these molecules throughout your body.  Often times, unknowingly, we are the ones applying these toxins to our own skin.  What we don't realize is that some of these products which are marketed to reduce the signs of aging actually induce it by introducing tissue damaging free radicals and poisons into our body. 
 
So why would you put anything on your skin that you wouldn't be willing to eat?
 
Let's explore how to release toxins from your tissue as well as how to prevent them from entering in the first place!
 
Ready to look 10 years younger?  Come visit The Garden Spa'T and let us show you how - naturally!
 
Skinthusiastically,

New Amazonian Products!
Whenever you apply skin care products, it is ideal to use products from nature that nourish your skin the same way you nourish your body.  That is why The Garden Spa'T is ecstatic to announce our new product line - direct from the Amazon Forest.  These products are made from fresh fruits, nuts, leaves, tree barks and roots with exotic names such as Murumuru, Cupuacu, and Pracaxi, which have been used by generations of indigenous people both for healing and beautifying purposes.  This is a photo of nuts being sorted before they are processed into our products - in the same location where they are harvested from the trees.
 
Each product is formulated using these wholesome ingredients blended according to ancient traditions and knowledge of the rainforest's plants.  They preserve the quality of the indigenous traditional holistic medicine in which all parts of life are interconnected.  According to this view, the forest is part of an extended social system in which plants, animals, spirits and minerals interact with the human being.
 
No synthetics/chemicals are added during the extraction process or in the final product which means just wholesome goodness for your body!
 
And even better news?  For the next 30 days, if you mention this newsletter, you will receive $10 off of our Amazon Facial.

Toxins - Please Release Me
Step #1 - Keep them out.
Petrochemicals such as mineral oil, paraffin and propylene glycol to name a few, are in most beauty products because they are cheap, readily available and very often feel and smell sexy.  Many are also poisonous wrecking havoc on your skin, your body and creating the opposite effect of what you are seeking.  Now you have smart alternatives that do everything you want them to: nourish, hydrate, beautify and protect,  immediately available at The Garden Spa'T.  Products direct from the Amazon, restoring your skin, naturally!
Step #2 - Flush them out.
People often ask me how I maintain glowing, pink. smooth skin (trust me, this does not happen without work!)  My answer, do your best to keep out toxins and then FLUSH OUT toxins...in other words - SWEAT - A LOT!  Through exercise, your skin detoxifies impurities from your system.  Perspiration is your bodies way of purging unwanted substances from your skin just as your liver removes impurities from your bloodstream.  Sweating increases blood flow to the skin which oxygenates skin while simultaneously purging it of poisons...now who said sweating isn't sexy?
Can you say "Cupuacu"?
Indigenous people of the Amazon have used Cupuaca (Theobroma grandiflorum) for generations.  The butter of the fruit's seeds contains a semi-solid triglyceride that helps increase skin hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss.  It also contains phytosterols which reduce inflammation caused by free radicals, essential fatty acids 3 and 6 and vitamins A and C.  Cupuacu has high moisturizing properties helping to restore the skin's natural humidity and elasticity. 
 
Cupuacu is just one of our new amazing Amazon products being used at The Garden Spa'T where we can assist you in choosing the right products that contain the highest levels of these fabulous phytosterols!  Make an appointment for a product purchase or to experience an Amazon Facial today!
