Other tips: You are fortunate. Use MIST and CREAM together. Combine different essential oils, for example - Rosemary MIST and Lavender CREAM.
Dry/Maturing: Most of our customers have dry skin to varying degrees, from spots of dryness to total body. Dry skin can be a problem any time of the year, especially when humidity is low. Low humidity can be especially harsh with skin covering the hands, face, legs and feet. By adjusting bathing with moisturizing techniques, dry skin irritation may be reduced or prevented.
One of the most common causes of dry skin is low humidity. More moisture is lost from the skin to the air during low humidity. Overwashing or use of harsh soaps can remove protective natural oils and dry the skin more. As skin becomes drier, it becomes more fragile, flakes, and cracks. This allows infection to occur.
During the day, refresh skin with a spritz of STRONG SKIN SAVVY MIST. While the skin is still damp, apply STRONG SKIN SAVVY CREAM for the driest skin or when heavy protection is desired. DELUXE CALENDULA CREAM is ideal for lighter moisturizing needs. Reapply MIST & CREAM before skin becomes dry. Use mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Often overlooked is the importance of drinking more water.

Follow the wound care instructions from you health care professional. Here is a general wound care plan. Gently cleanse using the prescribed routine. If you are using soap, select a very mild one. We recommend Essence Chamomile Bar - a transparent bar that rinses easily. Rinse thoroughly and pat excess water. Shake MIST and spray over entire wound. Apply CREAM and, if skin is intact, gently dab. Do not apply STRONG SKIN SAVVY CREAM to deep wounds, (stage III and IV), that require products to be applied directly into the wound. Cover the wound with non-adhering dressing. Reapply MIST and CREAM as needed and often enough to avoid dehydration of wound and surrounding area. For optimal skin health, continue to use STRONG SKIN SAVVY MIST and CREAM after resolution of wound.

Our skin is one of the miracles of nature. It regulates our body temperature., protects us from bacterial invasion, helps eliminate toxins, and provides a cover for our body. In order to maintain skin health, it's important to cleanse with natural reviving substances. But since constant washing removes natural oils, the protective acid covering or mantle, as well as moisture, we must replace the oils, protect the acid mantle, and moisturize.
There are many factors that adversely affect the health of our skin, such as smoke and sunbathing, (which should be avoided). Another factor is the oxidation process. This can harm the skin's cellular structure and speed the aging process. Vitamin E hinders oxidation and nourishes, protects, and improves the skin, while providing a soft and subtle texture. Purifying foods, rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, particularly fruits and vegetables, as well as water, all help cleanse and nourish the body. These, along with sufficient sleep, fresh air, regular exercise, proper elimination, and a positive mental outlook will provide optimum skin health.
Facial Skin
Facial skin is the most visible and receives the most attention. Handle it gently, especially around the eyes. STRONG SKIN SAVVY CREAM is an effective night cream. Apply it to the eye area with your little or "pinky" finger for the least amount of pressure. If you use bar soap, choose one specifically for your face. Rinse well with tepid water. Tone skin with MIST - be sure to close eyes first.
Because men shave, their facial skin care is different. Although shaving is a form of exfoliation, men should still cleanse, tone, and moisturize twice a day. First cleanse face with a mild soap. Then tone with STRONG SKIN SAVVY MIST and moisturize with STRONG SKIN SAVVY CREAM.
"After a leg burn while snorkeling in Australia, when the dryness set in, I put your vinegar spray and creme on my legs and it really made a BIG difference. I was so thankful that I had brought them, even though I had not expected to need the creme in the warm, humid climate. So I was once again very thankful that you had saved my legs, as well as my face here in Moscow!"
