However, most of us would like our ‘cover’ to look good too, and people spend a fortune buying products for their skin – hoping to find that special miracle cream or magic potion that will solve their problems - only to find that their skin rebels and lets them down, often at exactly the wrong moment! The worst thing that one can do is to confuse the skin with lots of different chemicals which upset the delicate pH balance and often result in drying and loss of condition. The skin is a very sensitive organ and the largest organ of our bodies! It is an important first line of defense (and so an integral part of the immune system) and will therefore tend to react when confronted with synthetic chemicals which are not good for our bodies. The natural way The skin reacts to what we put on it as well as what we put in our bodies. In fact, the best way to support healthy skin is to make sure that it is part of a healthy body! This means that regular exercise as well as a healthy diet are both key to promoting a healthy skin. Plenty of fresh, raw fruit and vegetables and nourishing nuts can do wonders for a tired and troubled skin. Keeping your skin care routine as simple and as gentle as possible is also a must to maintain pH and oil balance on the skin. Oily skin is often a sign of incorrect diet and over applying harsh chemicals – causing the skin to produce more oil to protect itself. Herbal ingredients have the best chance of naturally supporting skin health, without upsetting skin balance We recommend a combination of our herbal ClearSkin Skin Wash used twice a day to cleanse the skin and ClearSkin-A Gel used when necessary on targeted areas for best effect. You will be amazed how quickly your skin responds! What is ClearSkin-A Gel? ClearSkin-A Gel contains extracts of a variety of herbs especially chosen to support clear skin and is formulated to be used on targeted areas when necessary to support skin health. Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of its ingredients in helping to maintain skin integrity for a problem-free complexion. Used regularly when necessary, ClearSkin-A is nature’s answer to a clear skin and will not dry or upset the skin like some other products do. What are the Ingredients? ClearSkin-A Gel contains: Tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a traditional remedy of the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. Studies have shown that it has exceptional benefits for the skin. (Bassett IB, Pannowitz DL, Barnetson RS. A comparative study of tea-tree oil versus benzoylperoxide in the treatment of acne. Med J Aust 1990;153(8):455-458.) Tea Tree Oil was included in the wound dressing kits of the Australian troops in World War 2. It is one of few essential oils which can be used undiluted without irritating or drying the skin. Burdock (Arctium lappais) used naturopathically to support the health of the skin, with wonderful clarifying properties. It has been studied for its ability to promote and support health in cells. (Lin, C. C., Lu, J. M., Yang, J. J., Chuang, S. C., and Ujiie, T. “Anti-inflammatory and radical scavenge effects of Arctium lappa”. Am J Chin Med 1996;24(2):127-137.) Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is an indigenous shrub, which grows exclusively on the slopes of the Cedarberg Mountains in the Western Cape province of South Africa and has been used by traditional healers of the area for centuries. Known worldwide for its anti-oxidant properties, the soothing effect of Rooibos on the skin is also evident. (Sasaki YF, Yamada H, Shimoi K, et al. The clastogen-suppressing effects of green tea, Po-lei tea and Rooibos tea in CHO cells and mice. Mutat Res 1993;286(2):221-232. ) Bulbinella (Bulbine frutescence) is indigenous to South Africa and is widely used as a home remedy and by traditional healers for the skin. Bulbinella is effective in supporting skin health and is highly recommended for the natural first aid kit. It's clear and soothing gel forms an invisible 'seal' over the skin, providing ongoing skin conditioning and support throughout the day. Ginger essential oil is extracted from ginger root and provides a toning and tightening effect on the skin – supporting healthy pores.(Grzanna, R., Lindmark, L., and Frondoza, C. G. Ginger--an herbal medicinal product with broad anti-inflammatory actions. J Med Food 2005;8(2):125-132.) Lemon grass essential oil is extracted from lemon grass, and this oil is well-known in the east for its wonderful health promoting properties on the skin and its support of a clear complexion. (Cheel J, Theoduloz C, Rodriguez J, et al. “Free radical scavengers and antioxidants from Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf.)”. J Agric Food Chem 2005;53(7):2511-2517). Bitter Aloe (Aloe ferox) is derived from a hardy plant indigenous to the south eastern Cape of South Africa; aloe was even used in Ancient Egypt, supporting the skin of the royal family! Studies have shown this herb to have skin supportive properties. (Paulsen, E., Korsholm, L., and Brandrup, F. “A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a commercial Aloe vera gel in the treatment of slight to moderate psoriasis vulgaris”. J Eur Acad.Dermatol Venereol 2005;19(3):326-331.) (Reuter, J., Jocher, A., Stump, J., Grossjohann, B., Franke, G., and Schempp, C. M. “Investigation of the anti-inflammatory potential of Aloe vera gel (97.5%) in the ultraviolet erythema test”. Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2008;21(2):106-110.) Gotu cola (Hydrocotyle asiatica) is a plant that grows throughout Africa and Asia and is used both topically and internally to cleanse as well as support circulation. It has also been studied with regards to supporting the skin. (Boiteau P and Batsimamanga AR. “Asiaticoside extracted from Centella asiatica, and its therapeutic uses in the healing of experimental refractory wounds, leprosy, skin tuberculosis and lupus.” Therapie 1950;11:125-149.) Witch hazel (Hamamelis Virginianum) is a plant whose integral component is in the medicine chest of many Native Americans, and for very good reason! Hamamelis is known for its astringent properties and has an excellent toning effect on the skin. (Deters, A., Dauer, A., Schnetz, E., Fartasch, M., and Hensel, A. “High molecular compounds (polysaccharides and proanthocyanidins) from Hamamelis virginiana bark: influence on human skin keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation and influence on irritated skin”. Phytochemistry 2001;58(6):949-958.) (Hughes-Formella, B. J., Bohnsack, K., Rippke, F., Benner, G., Rudolph, M., Tausch, I., and Gassmueller, J. “Anti-inflammatory effect of hamamelis lotion in a UVB erythema test”. Dermatology 1998;196(3):316-322.)
