BEAUTIFUL EYES AND SKIN CONNECTION

https://www.exquisskincare.com/x/eyes-cream.html

The skin around the eyes is thin and fragile; with fewer oil glands, it is more prone to dryness, showing signs of age and fatigue. Squinting, sun exposure, air pollution, dehydration, fluid retention, allergies, and genetics, as well as daily habits such as sleeping on one’s side, rubbing the eyes, smoking and facial expressions, hasten the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Fluid that collects under the eyes causes puffiness and dark circles.

Prevention, through proper hydration and SPF use, is always the best approach to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  The active ingredients in eye creams, intended for the delicate area around the eyes, are specifically formulated to be thicker with a higher oil content.  These anti-aging products that reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles provide moisture to the skin and decrease trans-epidermal water loss.  The recommended application is to gently pat the cream above and below the eyes (patting technique). 

Exquis Beautiful Eyes Cream, comprised of all-natural ingredients and paraben-free, is delivered through a proprietary liposomes delivery technology to the inner layers of the skin, a deep conditioning cream specifically formulated for the thin, sensitive skin around the eyes.  The barrier repairs itself using Ayurvedic natural actives Aloe vera, basil, neem, turmeric, and sandalwood.  The appearance of dark circles, puffiness, surface discoloration and unevenness is dramatically reduced to reveal visibly healthier, smoother and more luminous skin.  Fast absorbing, pleasant scent, non-sticky, soothing and silky to the touch, Exquis Beautiful Eyes Cream is an affordable, premium quality product, made in the USA and perfected for all genders and ethnicities.

Ayurvedic Skincare: A wholesome approach to maintain healthy, younger looking skin

https://www.exquisskincare.com/x/

Ayurveda is the oldest, continually practiced form of natural medicine in the world. Originating over 5, 000 years ago, this concept focuses on body-mind wholeness and wellness of the individual, created through balancing three biological energies (doshas).  Lifestyle choices that include proper diet, nutrition and hydration, physical activity and self-care, optimize digestion to maintain balance. The goal of products containing Ayurvedic ingredients is to maintain overall wellness through prevention and healing and  to develop an attractive external appearance.  Ayurveda establishes the highest standards in the theory of a natural, plant-based skincare routine that can restore a clear and beautiful complexion.

The Three Doshas of Ayurveda:

  1. Vata dosha is expressed in all motion and communication.  Vata rules the flow of the breath and communication throughout the mind and nervous system. Characteristics of vata imbalance include frequent hunger, irregular sleep patterns, fast-paced gait, and emotional outburst
  2. Pitta dosha is expressed in understanding, metabolism, heat production, digestion and energy production. Characteristics of pitta imbalance include dominating and self-determined, punctuality and fitful sleep.
  3. Kapha dosha provides stability and structure and balances fluid by hydrating cells and systems, lubricating joints, moisturizing skin, and protecting tissues. Characteristics of kapha imbalance include empathy, emotional eating, sleep inertia and passivity.

Imbalances of the doshas may be caused by inadequate diet, acid reflux, anxiety, headaches, stress and/or trauma, as well as lifestyle choices that can affect skin appearance, overall health and cause disease.

How do imbalanced doshas affect skin health and how can they be corrected with Exquis Ayurvedic skincare products?

Exquis moisturizers effectively hydrate dry or rough skin associated with Vata imbalance, restoring softness.

Exquis moisturizers calm, cool and neutralize inflamed skin and rashes attributed to Pitta imbalance.

Exquis moisturizers restore oily skin, seen in Kapha imbalance, to its normal state.

Exquis Skincare products combine traditional Ayurvedic actives including turmeric, neem, aloe vera, basil, and sandalwood.  These ingredients are well known and traditionally used for their extensive soothing, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial healing properties.  The potent, plant-based actives calm breakouts soothe painful skin irritations and hydrate dry skin to achieve balanced, brighter-looking and healthier skin.The wide-ranged effects of Exquis Skincare products are derived from a specific, formulated blend of antioxidants, moisturizers and vitamins that are beneficial to even the most sensitive skin.  In Ayurveda, skin is considered a manifestation of inner health.  Exquis Skincare products balance and support skin health to prevent signs of premature aging and achieve the appearance of vibrant, healthy, and supple skin.

SYSTEMIC CONNECTION AND SKIN

Skin is the largest organ, the layer of outer tissue with many important functions.  It is the protective covering that regulates body temperature by receiving sensory stimuli from the external environment. In addition, the skin layer prevents dehydration, keeps harmful microbes from entering the body and makes vitamin D when exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.  When skin is in good health, the skin barrier is at its strongest.

Skin supports all body structures, including the immune system, which plays a vital role in maintaining overall health. Skin can be involved in a variety of immune system responses, many of which are rashes that are raised, red in color or warm to the touch. Disorders of the skin vary in symptoms and severity.  A skin disorder may be temporary or permanent, painless, or painful, minor, or even life-threatening.  Genetics, allergies, and irritants can cause hives or rashes.  Inflammation can cause symptoms of irritation such as redness, swelling, burning, and itching. Intestinal inflammation (“leaky gut”) caused by poor diet and/or food allergies can cause skin irritation.

Healthy skin begins with good nutrition and proper hydration.  Drinking plenty of water and eating a variety of raw fruits and vegetables are a great approach to maintaining optimal skin health.  Good skin care and a healthy lifestyle will help delay the natural aging process and will keep your skin and body vibrant and healthy.

FACE MASK & SKINCARE

Wearing a face mask every day can be harmful to your skin barrier, a thick wall that protects from irritants and microbes. The skin barrier consists of the outer layer of skin cells called the stratum corneum and the lipid matrix that holds the cells together.  

Skin irritation is a major detriment from wearing a face mask. The skin becomes sensitive, resulting in dry, itchy, acne-prone, and inflamed skin. Applying moisturizer is the best and easiest way to decrease friction between the skin and mask by creating a strong, protective barrier for your skin.

I recommend Exquis moisturizer, which I use daily. It reduces damage from harsh pollutants, providing the optimal hydration and nourishment that your skin needs.  The phospholipid liposomes rebuild the skin’s barrier level and act as a reservoir of moisture to the inner layer of the skin. Exquis moisturizer contains Ayurvedic natural actives including turmeric, basil, sandalwood, and Aloe vera, best known and proven for their extensive calming and healing anti-inflammatory properties.  This product is great for all skin types.  Wishing you great health and happiness!
