What is Just Clear Face Wash?

Jenny Akee, Skin Care Specialist

O.K! Here's your answer. After I had a laser treatment to clear up discoloration...which did not work on my African American skin. I just had to develop a face wash that did not burn my very sensitive skin. It was horrible, and the medication that the dermatologist gave me did not work. So, I was anger, and my skin was burn badly. I bought expensive products but not-a-thing worked. This was my worst nightmare. I had to wear make-up to conceal the burns. I went into the lab determine to find something to clear my skin, so I researched and discovered the effectiveness of emu oil and jojoba on the skin. I used a mild based that had only natural ingredients which included aloe vera, and my just clear face wash was born. I use it everyday along with emu oil and jojoba oil for about a year to clear up and heal my burnt skin. . .

Today, my skin is radiant and healthy. I would never use nothing else but Eeka Products on my skin. And I also use Eeka's hair products as well. After having my daughter, the pigmentation of my skin changed. But I have found a solution for all who needs to keep that healthy glow, so send me and email...and let me help you with your skin or hair problems...

Skin Deep

Skin Physiology

Smallest unit of skin, made up of protoplasm - a jelly-like living matter of water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, granules, crystals and other matter. Groups of similar cells form tissue. Cells are responsible for reproduction and metabolism (the process through which food assimilates into the cells and is transformed into energy and nutrients). When a cell reaches maturity, it reproduces itself.

Structure of the Skin

The skin is divided into three layers. The outer layer is the epidermis: the part we see and touch. It is made of sheets of flattened cells that are either dead or dying because newly formed cells push the older cells upwards to the surface where they change shape, die and are shed. The Skin Culture Peel away treatment will never penetrate deeper than the epidermis - one of the reasons what we can guarantee the 100% safety of the treatment. The middle layer is the dermis: which contains hair follicles, oil and sweat glands, nerve endings and blood vessels. It also contains collagen and elastin which support the skin and give it suppleness and elasticity. With age these gradually deteriorate, causing the skin to sag and wrinkle. The dermis is seven times thicker than the epidermis. The innermost layer of the skin is the hypodermis. This contains fat cells, veins and muscles. It acts as a cushion on which the skin moves.
Characteristics of the Skin
Skin pigmentation varies and is determined by racial genetics. All skin contains Melanin, which tans the skin and protects it from over-exposure to the sun radiation. Ruddy skin is not a color, but a result of capillaries close to the skin. Pale skin is a result of capillaries being far below the skin surface. Skin texture varies in thickness - generally, a man's skin is thicker than a woman's. Elasticity allows the body to stretch and bend, moving freely without tearing. The network of collagen and elastin fibers found in the dermis gives the skin flexibility. The skin controls the body's temperature through the secretion of sweat. Skin is a sensory organ with which we touch and feel. The skin is water water-resistant.

Skin Chemistry

Skin is made up of about 70% water, 25% protein, 3% fatty acids and minerals. The term pH stands for "potential in hydrogen" and measures the relationship between acidity and quantity of free hydrogen ions. pH is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. pH readings of 1 through 7 are acid. Readings from 7 through 14 are alkaline. Normal pH is between 5.5 and 6.5. Dry skin has a pH of about 4.5. Oily skin is normally at a 6.5 pH. Skin acidity helps maintain water in deep layers of the skin tissue.

Feed Your Skin!

Feed Your Skin, and Water it Too!

Silky Skin Nature oils, creams and lotions are great for your skin, but if you want your skin to look good day after day and year after year, you have to work on it from the inside out. Ayurveda - the 5,000-year-old system of holistic healing from India - contends that a balanced diet, proper digestion and regular elimination are vital for clear glowing skin. "Ama" - the residue of improper digestion that can accumulate in the body - is the Number one enemy of healthy skin, leading to lifelessness and breakouts, according to Ayurvedic dermatologist Rama Kant Mishra.

So what should you feed your skin to keep it looking good?

To follow Ayurvedic principles for diet, you first need to figure out which of the following three categories your skin falls into:

If your skin is dry, thin and sensitive, susceptible to dullness and wrinkles, you have Vata type skin. Pitta skin tends to be reddish, warm and extremely sensitive, prone to breakouts and easily affected by the foods you eat, heat and sun. Kapha skin tends to be lustrous, oily, and thick in texture. It is prone to clogged pores, breakouts and toxic buildup.

Once you’ve determined the predominant Ayurvedic category your skin falls into, you can try some of these suggestions for feeding your skin right -

· Individuals with Vata skin may need to include judicious amounts of healthy fats in their diets to restore natural luster to the skin. Ayurveda suggests Ghee (clarified butter), or you can use olive oil or sesame oil.

· Green leafy vegetables should be eaten daily by all skin types. Rather than eat them raw, try steaming them lightly. Carrots are also nourishing for all skin types.

· People with Pitta skin should stay away from hot, spicy foods to avoid skin irritation.

· Kapha skin types can enhance the digestive fire by taking a bit of fresh ginger mixed with a little limejuice before meals.

· Juicy fresh fruits are excellent for all skin types; they act as cleansers and re-hydrate the skin from within.

· Roses are considered cooling. People with Pitta skin can eat rose petal jam on its own or mixed into warm milk.

· Spices recommended for each skin type should be incorporated into the daily diet. In addition to having therapeutic properties of their own, some spices act as "carriers" of the benefits of other foods, especially when sautéed in a small amount of Ghee. Cumin and coriander are considered good for all skin types; they enhance digestion and cumin is also effective as a toxin hunter. Generally, people with Vata skin can add moderate amounts of black pepper, ginger and turmeric. Pitta skin benefits from cooling spices such as fennel and licorice, and Kapha skin benifits from pungent spices such as pepper, ginger, cloves and turmeric. Spices should be cooked, not eaten raw. Herbal teas that incorporate spices are a quick, simple way of including them in your diet.

· In general, weight your diet with fresh, light, nutritious foods - vegetables, grains, lentils and legumes - and go easy on heavy, deep-fried foods.

Water is considered a life-giving force in Ayurveda, very important in maintaining skin health as well as overall health. Says Mishra, "It’s not always enough to just drink eight glasses of water everyday. For the body, and the skin, to realize fully the life-giving properties of water, people with different types of skin need to consume it differently."

Ayurveda is very firm on one aspect of drinking water, and, indeed, all beverages. Ice-cold drinks are not recommended because they inhibit the digestive fire and lead to imperfect digestion of food, which can show up on the skin.

One internal water therapy recommended by Mishra is drinking 6-8 glasses of boiled water everyday. Use pure drinking water, and boil it for five minutes. People with Vata type skin should drink the water warm, Kapha skin types can sip it hot, and Pitta skin types should cool it to room temperature before drinking. The water should be boiled fresh each day, and should not be ingested on a completely empty stomach. This therapy helps the water flush toxins from the body and moisturize the skin from within, keeping it hydrated and lustrous.

Combining boiled water with herbs suitable for the skin type enhances the benefits. Mishra suggests the following procedure -

Boil one liter of water for five minutes, then pour it into a thermos or other type of heat-retentive container. Add the recommended herbs and spices and steep. Keep the container closed. Strain and use the spice-infused water as needed. Drink at the temperature recommended above for each skin type.

Basic combination of recommended herbs and spices:
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds2 pinches of ground licorice root

Vata skin types can add 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds, Pitta skin types 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds and Kapha skin types a one-inch slice of peeled fresh ginger root.
