Basic Facts
- The skin is an organ of elimination. If we put products on our skin which prevent it from "breathing, ex. clogging it so that is can't excrete toxins from the body, the toxins back up and put pressure on the other organs of elimination eg. Kidney's and liver
- As part of the body's immune system the skin also acts as a barrier to keep harmful bacteria and chemicals from entering the body.
- The quality of a product is determined by its pH level.
- The normal pH for skin is between 5.5 and 6.5, slightly acidic so it can repel toxins. Any product that we put on our skin which is not in that pH range will destroy the acid mantle and create problems. It takes 12 hours to replace the acid mantle. In the meantime, without protective barrier, bacteria and infection can penetrate the skin resulting in skin eruptions such as blackheads, pimples and sores.
- Zinc oxide is a key ingredient to have in skin care products. It protects the skin from UV rays, helps with wound healing and synthesizing collagen to name a few.
- Mineral oil, petrolatum and paraffin are by-products of petroleum (gas) productions and its molecules are too large to be absorbed by human skin as a moisturizer, causing clogged pores, blackheads and poor respiration.
- The grease base in many cosmetics is simply recycled restaurant grease because it is inexpensive.
- Good bacteria on the surface of the skin are destroyed by high alkaline soaps; even expensive name brand soaps register high on the pH scale.
- Body odour is often a mixture of perspiration and bacteria resulting from the use of these soaps.
- Mineral oil is cheap and makes skin drier. The mineral oil "seals" the skin so it cannot breathe and perspire.
The Sunrider cosmetic and skin care product lines, Kandesn and Oi-Lin, use vegetable-based ingredients, gentle, yet effective exfoliants, and are pH balanced to cleanse, balance and moisturize the entire skin, according to the philosophy of Regeneration.
Many companies use animal oil, mineral oil, and petroleum by-products, include too many or the wrong type of exfoliants, and make pH imbalanced products - all creating issues for your skin.
Because total body health is the goal at Sunrider, their products not only nourish the body from the inside out, but the outside in as well.
With Sunrider they want to make sure that your skin can breathe and that it is moisturized at the deepest level.
Just like the Sunrider foods, the skin care products are made with whole foods and we often call them a "salad for the face". Owner expertise ensures the safety, quality and effectiveness of Sunrider products. Dr. Chen is always coming out with the most cutting edge products.
I am passionate about using great skin care products and taking care of my skin and I would not use another product! Not only are these products absolutely amazing, but they are extremely affordable!
You are never too old or too young to take care of your skin! If you would like to use a skin care that is not only good for your health, but that will give you glowing, youthful skin and reduce or minimize fines lines and wrinkles and that will give you smooth, silky looking skin this is it!!!!! My skin has NEVER felt or looked so good.
