3 Simple Solutions for that Disappearing Youthful Glow | Smell Good Spa™

Sigh. The silent expression given after looking over those fun, summer pictures taken of you in your twenties.  Those were the days - sun, fun, laughter and beautiful skin happily displayed under shorts and sleeveless tops. “When did my youthful glow disappear?”  As the body ages, cellular regeneration slows down, and skin begins to act differently, yielding dark spots, wrinkles, and rough, cracked skin.  Thankfully, plenty of wholesome products from nature can help you maintain your beautiful skin, and this puts you on the winning side - allowing you to grow older gracefully.  

You truly are what you eat, therefore an adequate intake of water and nourishing foods work internally and the epidermis benefits from those positive effects.  

In addition to eating and drinking mindfully, consistently use these three topical steps to keep your body’s largest organ conditioned & hydrated, and have you on your way to celebrating the reappearance of that youthful glow: 

First, cleanse the skin using soap or body wash with rich emollients, such as raw butters and plant/fruit oils. The hydration process begins when water comes in contact with the skin, and the wholesome emollients seal moisture into the skin.  Forgo products with harsh surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. They strip the natural oils from the skin, and hinders the goal. 

Next, slough off dead skin cells using salt or sugar scrubs, clays, or a natural fiber sponge.  Exfoliation is one of the most skipped steps in bath and body care, but is necessary for a radiant hue. Exfoliating the skin 2-3 times a week, softens rough skin, lightens hyper-pigmented spots, and allows for better absorption of other bath and body care products.  

Lastly, apply moisturizers with liquid content and emollients (lotion/cream) to maintain skin hydration and soft skin throughout the day.  Or use emollients (no water content) such as body butters and body balms for sealing in moisture after showering, softening rough skin, and protecting the skin. Petroleum jelly is an emollient, however, it does not allow the skin to breathe as well as plant/fruit-based emollients. 

Add these simple solutions to your bath and body care regimen, and you can expect that youthful glow to reappear. Say, “Good-bye” to sigh and hello to shorts, racerback tanks & short maxi dresses.

{How To} 3 Very Good Body Scrubs for Mature Skin | Smell Good Spa™

The removal of dead skin and hydration is essential to the health of mature skin.  For a body scrub/polish to be effective, it should deliver both. A scrub should have enough oil to replenish and soothe the skin after exfoliating.  A body scrub with an insufficient amount of oil can scratch the skin,  and cause severe dryness.  Thus, doing more harm than good.   

Below are three body scrubs that contain an ample amount of conditioning oils for mature skin.  Not only are they effective, but they're fun and sexy too - which is what every whole woman can appreciate. They're best when used in the tub: after exfoliating the skin, soak in the tub to allow the oils to nurture the skin.  Now that's a spa-at-home moment. 

A woman with mature skin, needs a grown-up exfoliant.

"Shoot, my people are from Africa. I don't need sunblock!" | Smell Good Spa™

Growing up I lived under the assumption that I, nor anyone with brown skin would need sunblock for  protection from the sun.  And, why would we? We are descendants of tribes that lived, toiled, and enjoyed life under the brightest star; Then brought to an unfamiliar place, our ancestors toiled under harsh conditions under that same sun.  Sitting around listening to the elders, not once did they mention anyone that they knew getting sunburned or a skin disease.  I remember playing outside for hours under the sun, never seeing my skin, nor my friends' skin (light to dark brown) change in anyway.  Overtime, "My people are from Africa", became something that was just said (always a chuckle afterwards, as if someone told a joke), really not giving any thought to, "Hmm, is it possible that my skin could benefit from using sunblock?"

About 15 years ago my answer came.  I was laying on the beach enjoying the sun and sea air, and King T. was fishing.  I think he turned into a fish.  The brotha got sunburned!  We were both so shocked to see the scaly skin on his shoulders peeling and the damaged area turning red.  Later that day, we could still feel the heat coming from his skin, and the area was a little tender. We just never seen that happen to any brown skin person, regardless of how long they were out in the sun.  Needless to say, he didn't want that experience again.

Sunblock is not something that I use on a daily basis.  However, I do apply product that will give a protective barrier to my skin when I'm outside for a short period of time, or running errands (I'll share more about those products in a post later today).  When my family and I head to the beach, not only do we take our sun-protection products, SPF15 comes with us too.

Lately, this topic about brown skin people needing sunblock is popping up more than ever.  I see it in my Google Alerts just about everyday, and I see black mommies posing the question on social networks, no doubt, for the sake of their children.

Hey lady, do you have beautiful brown skin?  If so, what are your thoughts on applying sunblock?  I know you have your big fancy hat and umbrella for shade, but do you see a place for additional skin protection?

Do you agree, disagree, or really just don't care about Ava's statement (video), "People of color not needing sunblock is a myth"?

If you didn't know, May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.  Here's an insightful article about brown skin people and skin cancer, "Blacks are Susceptible to Skin Cancer".  The adjective black being used as a proper noun makes me crack my neck from left to right, but the article is informative.

{American Idol} Remember the Lyrics, ladies. | Smell Good Spa™

Flashback: I was sitting in my fifth grade, social studies class, when I turned to see my classmate scratching her leg with a pen.  As I stared at her leg, she looked towards me with annoyance in her eyes.  Finally, she looked down at her leg.... The ball point wasn't retracted!  This time... a  look of embarrassment in her eyes. She "drew" this massive ink spot on her thigh. My mind went to all the times I heard, "You'll get poisoned." I think her thoughts went there too, because she put spit on her hand and started rubbing her thigh like crazy.  Everytime she needed spit, she'd put that same ink-stained hand on her tongue.   Yuck!  The things we did.

Fast-Foward: On last night's episode of American Idol, the female contestants made lyric notes on their hands and arms, to prevent from bombing in front of the judges. "I don't think that's safe - to put ink on your skin", said Warrior Princess Z. Hmmm, I went to the "wizard" (Google)....

In general, occasionally writing on skin with water-based inks is considered non-hazardous. Concern arises when people write on their skin frequently with permanent ink, or with inks that have certain coloring agents. If one is writing on skin on purpose, then using skin paint or skin ink is a far better choice, although even water-based inks may cause some skin irritation for some people. Wisegeek.com

OK, but I like this comment on that post:

ACTUALLY, 164679, you are correct that we ingest through our mouths; however, our skin does have the capability to absorb. No, you do not absorb water from washing your hands because the exposure is too short. However, if you have ever sat in a bathtub and experienced "wrinkly skin" you know that our "barrier" skin can easily be bypassed. 

To use similar syntax: How do you think lotions work? They are absorbed through your skin through pores (tiny holes in your skin).  Or, why do you think one should not touch infected blood or other body fluids? Same answer. 

Writing on your hand occasionally is not a problem, but as a high school teacher, I can tell you the problem is much worse. I have students entering my class after lunch with "sleeves" in permanent marker because it lasts longer. And again, the longer it stays on the skin, the more likely it will be absorbed.

What! I've never heard of amateur tattooing (not like this):

People can cause damage to their skin however, by cutting the skin and then writing on skin with a permanent marker. This is a type of amateur tattooing that can be very difficult to get rid of and may cause skin irritation and infection. Usually, if this occurs, one must see a doctor in order to get rid of the marking and treat infections. Wisegeek.com

Skin Tips For Your College Freshman_Bath & Body | Smell Good Spa™

There she goes... off to new beginnings; new surroundings; excitement; apprehension; soul searching; new friends; term papers; late night study groups; par-teys! (You know she's going to go to at least one.)  Although, you can't be there for every ebb and flow, remind her of the importance of personal girl time.  Her in-dorm spa time is the best time for reflecting, making sound decisions, and light-bulb moments.  The care she gives to her skin, may also encourage her to be mindful of consuming too many of those bottomless pizzas and sodas, at those late night study groups.

Share these time-saving bath & body care tips with your busy college freshman:

• Cleanse & Exfoliate- She can knock dirt and dead skin cells out in one round!  Using a sulfate-free, foamy sugar scrub will do the trick.  A sulfate-free cleanser will not dry out her skin; sugar is gentle enough to remove the dead skin cells, and exfoliating will help maintain an even skin tone.  Plus, foamy + sugar = FUN & Giggles. 
• Moisturize- Dry Skin 101 is not one of her electives.  One application of a wholesome lotion will keep your freshman's skin hydrated and looking healthy, all day.   Because of the water content, any lotion will counter dryness, however, you want her skin to remain hydrated.  Moisturizers with rich emollients (raw butters; natural oils) and humectants (glycerin; castor oil) will seal in the moisture (water), revealing soft, supple skin.  
• Fun Aromatherapy- After a day of challenging classes, returning to an olfactory-friendly dorm room is just what she needs.  CAUTION! Spraying her room and linens with aromatic sweetness: may inspire turn-the-music-up and singing-in-the-hairbrush moments - dancing the stress away; can help your freshman to mellow out while working on assignments; and conjure up sweet dreams.

Did You Know that Dead Skin Cells Equals Hydrated Skin? | Smell Good Spa™

Want to use your scrumptious, edible-smelling body polish every day of the week?  DON'T.   Often received in my inbox, "Why can I only use the body polish/scrub 2-3 days a week?"

Answer:
Your skin will become dehydrated.  Thus causing other problems: dry skin, lines, wrinkles, irritation/burning.

How is that possible?

Dead skin cells are needed for "good skin".  There's a 28-day life cycle for a living skin cell to become a dead skin cell, and sheds away.  When living, the skin cell retains its own core of moisture, thus it cannot hold anymore, and it will not receive anymore.  Exposing live cells to the atmosphere dehydrates them.  On the contrary, when dead, skin cells perk up and bring in all the moisture from the atmosphere.  If over-exfoliating occurs (over the suggested days), or having a harsh chemical peel, all dead skin cells are removed, leaving the living skin cells to fend for themselves.  You may have a lot of shiny new skin, but it won't be happy.  Ouch!

Alaea Sea Salt Polish

So why am I exfoliating?

Dead skin cells play a vital role in the comfort of your skin.  But remember that 28-day life cycle?  Skin is always shedding and regenerating, however, cell regeneration starts to slow down as you mature.  Imagine not exfoliating and dead skin cells begin piling up -- dull-looking skin.  Dead skin cells remain on the surface of the skin for two weeks, and two weeks later they are pushed off by more dead skin.   Exfoliating allows you to only remove the dead skin cells that are ready to be shed.  Removing those dead skin cells from the surface gives you healthy, glowing skin.

Still Sniffing Out If Natural Deodorant Is For You? | Smell Good Spa™

The Huffington Post link directed me to Erica Cheung's personal story about running out of her antiperspirant, opting to purchase a natural deodorant, and what her experience was with it the days after.  SN: Isn't it funny how we call antiperspirant "deodorant"?  Deodorant neutralizes odor.  Antiperspirant prevents sweating.  I enjoyed reading about Erica's experience, my favorite part was this: After the fourth day of wearing the deodorant, I stopped noticing the manly scent and realized that I smelled of nothing -- not B.O. or "Fresh." I appreciated this because I could wear my perfume without smelling like the perfume floor of a department store. I also noticed that I wasn't sweating as much, and when I did sweat I didn't smell like sweat. Many folks think natural products will showoff their benefits instantaneously, not all will.  I had to even learn that wasn't the case.  I am glad that Erica did not give up on the first day.  Natural products work, just give it time (when it permits).  When it comes to natural deodorant, your body has to adapt to not getting that antiperspirant boost.

Should I look into natural deodorant if I am prescribed an antiperspirant?

If you are prescribed an antiperspirant, more than likely natural deodorant will not benefit you.  We infuse many absorbing ingredients into our deodorant.  However, as noted, it depends on body chemistry for their effectiveness.  Someone who is prescribed an antiperspirant usually is a heavy sweater.  Don't feel badly if you cannot come on board with natural-deodorant users.  Use what's best for you, what makes you feel comfortable.  If you can use natural deodorant without any adverse reactions, then you need to see me.  We've been told by several customers that our natural deodorant works better than major brands purchased in stores. 

Can I wear natural deodorant during the hotter months?

You sure can!  For additional absorbency, use a natural, talc-free deodorant powder with the natural deodorant.

Dancing the night away?  Are you the Keynote speaker at an event?

You just might want to use antiperspirant for that time, and return to your natural deodorant the next day.

Also, natural deodorant works best on clean pits.  

I am proud to create a quality product that many have been able to use successfully.  Our customers that use our natural deodorant are fitness enthusiasts, dancers, moms and their daughters, military men,  and teenage boys (Read that.  It's so cute, and it made me feel good.).

Will you be willing to take the challenge like Erica?  

If you are a natural-deodorant wearer, tell me what you like about it in the comments.

4 Reasons Why Your Skin Could Be So Itchy, Plus the Solutions | Smell Good Spa™

You just submerged yourself into a garden tub of soothing water, letting the cares of the day soak away.  Ahh.  Finished.  Smiles.  Ugh..... A persistent itch is trying to cause all kinds of havoc with your peaceful vibe.   Below are the causes of itchy skin due to bathing, the effects, and the solutions to put that vibe-stealing itch in its place.

 

Cause Irritants, such as sulfates in soap and bubble bath.
     Effect- Dry, cracked skin occurring after bathing or showering.
     Solution- Use cleansing products that are formulated with natural oils, raw butters, and/or aloe vera.

Cause Hot water.  (One of the major causes. I know it just feels so good, and you can't help yourself.)
     Effect- Excessive drying of the skin. Hot water rips the natural oil right out of the skin.
     Solution- Use lukewarm water when bathing and showering. As a matter of fact, it is suggested to take a cold shower when possible (I do from time to time.  Brrrr, but I LIKE it.).

Cause Aggressively rubbing the skin with a towel.
     Effect- Stealing the moisture from the skin.
     Solution- Lightly pat the skin dry.

Cause Ignoring the 45-minute window.  That's the max time you have to seal moisture into your skin.
     Effect- Irritated, itchy skin throughout the day/night.
     Solution- Apply soothing moisturizers or emollients that contain vegetable oils, raw butters, and/or aloe vera, within that 45 minutes.

2 Solutions for Repairing Dry & Discolored Elbows and Knees | Smell Good Spa™

Two weeks ago, in the Hyper-Pigmentation post, I mentioned that the increase of melanin in my skin is a gem, because of the extended protection from the sun, and its ability to slow down the process of skin aging.  Well I'm certainly not taking that for granted.  Two areas that I give extra care to are my elbows and knees. When I was a young child and teenager, I remember admiring my mother's legs--so beautiful and fit.  She is now in her 60's, and I am still admiring them.  Her youthful knees look so good in a pair of shorts.

Skin on elbows and knees naturally tend to be dry, due to the lack of oil glands in those areas.  Being used more than other body parts, daily, the elbows and knees become flaky, chapped, rough and scaly.  With the warm weather gracing you with its presence, make sure your elbows and knees are making a healthy appearance.

source: buzzle.com

Dry and discolored skin on elbows and knees, can usually be repaired with these two solutions:

• Exfoliate- Help your body regenerate healthy skin by gently removing dead skin cells.  Do this 2-3 times a week. 
• Moisturize- If you are using a body polish in step #1, then you are already sealing in moisture.  However, your elbows and knees will not object to more TLC.   Moisturizing right after a bath or shower is best (45-minute window).   Remember, when you are giving that bit of TLC to your hands, feet, and neck at bedtime, give love to your knees and elbows, too. 

If dry, rough elbows and knees are a problem for you, try the tips above.  You will notice a difference.  

Don't have those problems?  Good.  Add the tips above to your bath & body regimen, and continue to have healthy looking elbows and knees.

3 Solutions for Uneven Skin Tone Due to HyperPigmentation | Smell Good Spa™

I love my dark chocolate skin!  Being one of my favorite physical attributes, my skin motivates me to remain consistent with my skincare routine -- water intake; healthy eating; exercise; giving special attention to pimples, burns, blisters; and taking preventive measures before spending major time in the sun (which I love).  Truly, the increase of melanin in my skin is a gift, giving me extended protection from the sun, and slowing down the process of skin aging. But, like many with this gift, uneven pigmentation can be an issue.  Hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation
The effect of an increase in melanin, the substance in the body that is responsible for color.

source:buzzle.com

There are several causes for hyperpigmentation (pregnancy, antibiotics, illness, etc.), but exposure to sunlight is the major one.  Let's say you have a pimple that accidentally gets ruptured (mmhmm, stop popping those pimples), you go out for a day in the sun, the next day, you notice a dark spot were the pimple use to be.  Maybe you already have dark patches on your skin, and after spending a day out in the sun, those patches have become even darker.  Why is that?  Melanin protects your skin when it is being overexposed to the sunlight, but in order to do that, the skin has to absorb the sun's ultraviolet rays.  Hence, dark spots/darker patches.

When speaking of uneven pigmentation, many solely reference the face as the victim.  The face is the most exposed area on the body, but hyperpigmentation happens all over. With warm weather returning, arms and legs are anxious to make their appearance.  Be sure you're ready to protect your bronzy glow.

Cleanse- To aid your skin in regenerating pigment due to skin damage (blisters, burns, skin infections), use moisturizing cleansers high in vitamins and vegetable oils twice a day.

Exfoliate- For skin cell regeneration and a youthful glow, don't forget to exfoliate.  This time of year calls for scrubs that are fine in texture.  Plus, it's spring/summer time, so get something fun!  Sugar!  Use exfoliants to gently remove dead skin for a healthy-skin-glow, and for even skin tone.

Moisturize- For a topical shade use wholesome emollients infused with vegetable/fruit oils and raw butters. These products help in defending your skin against UV rays (however, they are not a substitute for sunscreen).  They are light in weight, making them excellent for warm-weather jaunts.

3 Simple Steps for Hydrating Winter Epidermis | Smell Good Spa™

The winter months can be so unkind to your skin - wrecking havoc by turning hydrated skin into parched skin.  With the dry, cold air outside beating at your skin, cranked up heat indoors pulling moisture out of your skin, there seems to be no rescue for your epidermis.  Lost cause?  Absolutely not.  You just have to make a few adjustments to your winter bath and body care routine:

Step 1: Use a gentle grime fighter that won't strip your skin of its natural, protective oils, and that will also add to the conditioning of your skin.

 Organic Love Body Wash- A pure organic, castile body wash! Lather up in goodness of sunflower oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and glycerin! Organic Love is enriched with African Black Soap and Green Leaf Papaya to eat up those dead skin cells! 

Step 2: No more than 3 times a week, your skin should receive some TLC with a scrub/polish.  Exfoliating eliminates dead skin (keratin) sitting on the surface, removes impurities from the pores,  and leaves behind smooth, soft skin.  


Almond Whipped Cream Scrub- A creamy body wash and exotic sugar scrub, with Sweet Almond oil to boot. Pick up your favorite sponge or puff and cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, and fragrance your body!

  


Sweet Raw Sugar Honey Polish- A skin delicious blend of golden crystals, for banishing dead skin; pure plant oils effective for mature skin; rich humectants for protecting the skin; and honey to boot.

Step 3: Add an oil treatment to your bath & body routine. Topping the epidermis off with wholesome oils (emollient) is the best way to seal in moisture.  



  Marinade- An after-bath oil, that is great for those on-the-go days. Seal in the moisture after showering, by spritzing on this oil-free Shea Butter oil blend. 

 Pure Body Balm- A head-to-toe deep moisturizing balm, created for those women who need a bit more TLC for their scalp and body.  Pure Body Balm rejeuvenates dehydrated skin, works as a protective barrier, and is gentle on sensitive skin.
