Benefits of Organic Personal Skin Care Products

Benefits of Organic Personal Skin Care Products

Did you know that the average woman applies more than 200 chemicals to her skin by using her skin care products in one day? Did you know that 60% of these chemicals are further absorbed into your bloodstream? These are two of the main reasons that organic skincare is one of the fastest growing areas of the beauty industry today. The more we learn about the bitter side effects of unhealthy skin care, the more quickly we will seek out other options.   

The skin is the largest organ of the body. From your eyelids to the soles of your feet, your skin takes up approximately 16% of your actual body weight. It is very important to start as early as possible with a good, healthy skin care regimen so that you may avoid some of the unfortunate side affects of aging and disease.   

As I have mentioned many times, one of my favorite quotes is, “You should never put anything on your skin that you would not put in your mouth.” Whoever said this really hit the nail on the head.    

Organic skin care products are made with ingredients that have not been subject to toxic chemicals.  They contain no unnatural preservatives or parabens, nor are animals allowed to be tested or harmed in any way in the production and consumption of these products.   

If you are using non-organic skin care products it is important to note the effects the toxic chemicals also have on your hormones. It has been proven that the increase in paraben use is directly correlated to an increased risk of breast cancer. So check out the back of your container and if any or most of the ingredients include butyl-, ethyl-, methyl- and propyl-, which are the four main parabens, then each time you put it onto your skin you increase your risks of disrupting the natural state of your hormones.   

Lately there's been quite a buzz about deodorants and anti-perspirants especially for women since a few studies in recent years have shown that chemicals (parabens, aluminum-chloride) enter the bloodstream and because of the proximity to the breast tend to gather there. Although there is no established link between breast cancer and the use of deodorants, it would be best to look for chemical-free options. Among these are all-natural or aluminum-free deodorants which are becoming increasingly mainstream.

Doing the research on the benefits of organic skin care really answers the question of why one should use organic skin care products, and replaces it with why wouldn't one use organic skin care products? Most people comment immediately on the difference in the look and feel of their skin after switching to organic skin care. Using organic facial crème can make a huge difference.  The mere fact that your skin is able to breathe the way that nature intended is justification enough for using organic skin care products.    

So, take the time to replace your current skin care products with organic counterparts.  Your skin will thank you.

The International Spa and Esthetique Show in Toronto

Dear Organic Skin Care Fans!

As you know, I had the blessing and opportunity to attend and Teach at this International Spa Show in Beautiful Downtown Toronto, Ontario Canada.


We were there for 3 packed days.... 2 of which, the actual show itself went on. Two Show booths, tons of product and FREE Organic Skin Care Facials!


What a joy it was to meet and work with so many of our Canadian Clients in person! Many new Spas brought on our Sensual, Effective, Organic Skin Care Line! Hooray. Truly though.... the product sells itself!

 The First Afternoon we arrived, I sat on the Corner park bench, on Reitman Square and listen to street musician Rihi High. He is on YOUTUBE if you are interested. He was very good! He had his 2 Littles with him that played hide and seek with everyone as he played. Such sweet little smiles!!

This Little Guy (below) had a smile that reminded me of my own Little Colin, who just turned 2!! So, so precious!

The International Toronto Film Festival was going on the same days so I was able to meet and network with many Directors and Talent from that. Fortunately (or un :) my Efforts to spread Livia Pure, Raw, Organic Skin Care to the masses, took precedence.... so I wasnt able to see any of the films.

The next 2 days were chalk full of teaching, facials and sharing our product. It was so fun and so exhausting! We had... and continue to have a wonderful response!

I LOVE ORGANIC SKIN CARE!!! Thank you to my Canadian Team! You guys are amazing!

I took off on a plane, straight from the end of the shows to get back to business and the Fam! I think it took me a week to recover but I am happy to be home and back to mixing, batching and playing! For Now, dear friends and Clients:)

Topical Vitamin C- vs- Internal Consumption

Vitamin C is much touted for its ability to prevent and improve wrinkles.  Many people take Vitamin C as a supplement, but does oral Vitamin C work as well as topical Vitamin C skin care products for wrinkles?
The mechanism with which Vitamin C prevents wrinkles is due to its antioxidant properties.  Damaging free radicals are generated in the skin by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. These free radicals cause photo-aging, ie wrinkles and sun spots. Vitamin C in the skin is thought to play a key role in neutralizing these free radicals and reducing UV skin damage.

Once the sun damage has been done, vitamin C is believed to help treat photo-aging and improve wrinkled skin due to both vitamin C's antioxidant properties and by increasing collagen production and improving collagen organization.

There is an abundance of skin products on the shelf that contain vitamin C. But is it really worth the extra cost, could consuming extra Vitamin C be enough? The human body has to get vitamin C from the diet because it can't make it's own. The vitamin C available from our diet is then used by every cell in our body, including our skin. Couldn't eating lots of Vitamin C rich fruits and veggies and/or taking vitamin C orally be enough?
Well, it turns out that a very high concentration of vitamin C is required to get a therapeutically effective level of vitamin C in the skin. There are two characteristics of vitamin C that keep us from getting skin-therapeutic levels from oral supplementation. The first is that vitamin C is well absorbed orally at lower does, but absorption decreases as the dose increases. Approximately 80% of a 100 mg dose is absorbed, 63 % of a 500 mg dose is absorbed, and less than 50% of a 1250 mg dose is absorbed.
The second characteristic of Vitamin C that limits our attainable vitamin C levels in the skin, is that vitamin C is water soluble. So at high doses most of the Vitamin C that is absorbed is actually just excreted in the urine.
Topical preparations that contain vitamin C work well to increase the amount of vitamin C in our skin. Research indicates that skin creams containing 10% vitamin C might be most effective for increasing vitamin C concentrations in the skin. By using lotions or creams with vitamin C daily you can benefit from the protective antioxidant effect and the restorative collagen-boosting effect of vitamin C.

Home Remedies

Hello Friends!
I had a former student call me with the exciting news that she was Interning as an Esthetics Instructor. In the class she was preparing for, she was researching what home remedies she could teach to her students, so that they had some fun experiences in making their own product.Well yes! of course I have home remedies! That is how I started Livia Pure Skin Care before I even knew I would ever be doing what we are doing now.

As a kid, I LOVED coming up with my own remedies. Everyone called me a Hippie, which I loved and strived to fit the part:) Id use whole cloves as my eyeliner and ground up different shades of egg shells for my face powder. Bath teas and scrubs were always fun and easy.

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite and simple Home Remedies and hope that you'll chime in with yours!

• Milk Bath: An all time favorite is simple powdered milk in your bath tub; add rose petals for a beautiful contrast -great for sunburns and sensitive skin
• Bath Tea: combine chamomile and lavender flowers in a tea ball or in some cheesecloth
• Body Polish/Scrub: Combine equal amounts of Olive or Vegetable Oil with Sugar or Sea Salt (careful not to use a salt scrub on freshly shaved areas!) add a couple drops of essential oil of choice or even some vanilla extract. Use circular motions to apply to clean damp skin and pay special attention to elbows and knees. Rinse.
• Facial Masque: 1/4c plain yogurt, 1 TBSP Honey or Pure Maple Syrup, 1 TBSP mashed cucumber. Mix and apply to clean skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Soft supple skin!

So there you go! Your Home Spa Treatments! Enjoy and please send along to friends! Til next time:)

Serum: The Missing Step

I cannot tell you how many times I get asked what a Serum is... or what it is for. Do you know? Do you use one?

I suppose I never watched my Momma, growing up, put on any sort of Serum. However I was the oldest of 8 kids and by the time I was watching what she did for her skin, I had many other siblings and she probably had many other priorities for purchase, other than a good Serum.

Today, I am thrilled to say that my Momma goes through tons of Serum and puts it on EVERYTHING! She now lives in Africa and when she was packing, she requested gallons of it to take along! Well, I exaggerate just a little here but I love that I can provide that for her now, and her skin is glowing!

Alrighty then! So what is Serum and what is it for?? Serum is what i equivocate to the multivitamin for the skin. it is a rich does of healing and nutritive POWER! Concentrated, full of vitamins, minerals and Anti-Aging Soldiers!! It is used either as an overall treatment after you Cleanse and Tone, or as a spot treatment on Acne, Hyperpigmentation or the like.

Serum is vital for the health of your skin. If you dont currently use one, I invite you to experience the difference. Visit us today and request a sample with your next purchase. You will never not use a serum again!

Til' next time! Healthy, nourished skin begins here....

Colloidal Silver in Skin Care Products

Livia Pure Skin Care utilizes and offers to you the highest quality and purity colloidal silver available on the world market today. Its uses and benefits are far reaching. This is NOT an anecdotal solution but a TRUE CURE for severe chronic skin conditions. It would be impossible to name all of the conditions improved and cured by mono-atomic colloidal silver, but here are a few to give you some idea of the range and power of this active ingredient:
Acne, Shingles, Psoriasis, Toenail Fungus, Halitosis, Fibromyalgia, Parasites, Dermatitis, Warts, Jock Itch, Yeast Infection, Athletes Foot, Pink Eye, Bronchitis, Strep, Staph, Tooth Abscess, Severe Burns to the Skin, Urinary Tract Infection, Hepatitis C, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Thrush, Food Poisoning, Parvo, Cronh’s, Flu and Colds, Cradle Cap, Ringworm, and so much more.

Please do your own research through the Silver Institute and many other reputable online research sites.
Colloidal Silver will facilitate the rapid growth of new tissues and has been used to resolve first, second and third degree burns to the skin with ZERO residual scarring. Where acne pits and scars are concerned, colloidal silver will generate new tissue growth, filling the scars left by acne, even if they were diagnosed as permanent.

Last but not least, we should mention that colloidal silver does not affect the natural pH skin level, so you don’t have to worry about dryness or local discomfort. On the contrary, skin improves its aspect, regaining elasticity and freshness, while red blotches and possible sun burns are immediately healed. The explanation for such quick skin recovery lies in the increased reactivity of silver waters that enhance the natural body response for healing and regeneration. Some skin products may include other ingredients besides colloidal minerals: oatmeal and aloe representing favorite extra compounds worth mentioning.

In our home, we call it magic water and use it for everything. Now dont go guzzling the stuff... it has been known to turn the skin gray if you overdose. But Man, I am a big fan! Love Livia Pure Skin Care!!

Winter Skin

Good night its COLD!!! I don't know what your skin is doing right now but mine is drier than normal. I find that I'm mixing products more.... as in still using serum for drying out those hormonal areas (if ya know what I mean) but then using the Plum Peptide Moisture. Ive been hooked on the Blue Lava Cleanser lately and I find that my skin really loves it!

Were playing with a few new formulas for masques and i also want to make a richer moisture than we already have for those of you who are  super duper dry! Anyway... will keep you posted on those. Stay warm people and make sure you are taking your omegas, coconut oil and teas for your skins health!

I have struggle with my skin ever since I was a teenager. I tried everything. I went to the Dermatologist who told me to use Cetaphil which did nothing, same with Proactive. I even tried Accutane twice which helped a little bit while I was on it but came back after and the side effects are horrible. Livia Pure Skin Care has been the only thing that has cleared my skin and kept it clear.  Now I get compliments on my skin all the time.  I believe in Livia so much that I have joined their team!
