Veggie Face – Dr. Alkaitis Organic Universal Mask

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Universal Mask

Welcome back to Week 11 of our product blog series.

Last week’s post was all about getting that youthful glow from fruit for your face, this week’s post follows the tasty theme with the restorative power of veggies for your face!

What skin condition is the Universal Mask good for?

• Aging
• Acne
• Oily
• Normal
• Damaged
• Sensitive
• Dehydrated

What exactly does this mask do?

The ultimate therapeutic treatment mask, Organic Universal Mask nourishes, soothes, calms and rejuvenates sensitive, irritated and inflamed skin. An excellent follow up mask for post skin peels and microdermabrasion. Filled to the brim with all your veggies, healing grasses, and seaweeds, this mask is extremely high in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.

In a spa setting this would be one of two of our ‘finishing’ mask treatments, with the other being the Cellular Repair Mask.

Good to Know

This mask contains grass. Do not use if you have grass allergies.

Something that comes up a lot is that people want to know what is the ‘active’ ingredient in our products that make them ‘work’.

Every single plant, oil, and herb that Dr. Alkaitis uses are abounding with richly beneficial and active ingredients. One is not more important than the other. Each ingredient has equal value, and every product is 100% plant active.

When they are all combined together they work in a holistic manner to nourish, repair and rejuvenate your skin.

To put it simply: when you eat your meal, do you think that your fish is more nutritious than your veggies or your grains, or do you trust that your body needs a little bit of everything to maintain a healthy balance?

All of our products are adaptogens for your skin.

What is an adaptogen?

It’s a term often used by herbalists to refer to a natural herbal plant that is proposed to increase the body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue. They are also referred to as rejuvenating herbs, restoratives, or qi-tonics. All adaptogens contain antioxidants, but not all antioxidants are adaptogens.

Adaptogens have a normalizing effect on the body, capable of balancing the immune system, the endocrine system, and maintaining optimal homeostasis.

So, with this in mind you will see from the ingredients that this is a real meal for the skin.

Ingredients: Organic Grass Juice Complex (Kamut Grass*. Alfalfa*, Oat Grass* and Wheat Grass*), Oat Buds*, Sea Vegetable Complex (Chlorellaº, Dulseº, Spirulinaº, Sea Palmº and Sea Willowº), Goat’s Milk Protein*. Vegetable Complex (Carrots*, Cabbage, Sweet Potato*, Kale*, Broccoli*, Asparagus, Brussels Sprouts, Cucumber, Ginger*, Onions, Cauliflower, Beets*, Tomatoes* and Parsley*). Organic Seed Complex (Pumpkin*, Sesame*, Amaranth*, Flax*, Soy*, Oats*, Rye*, Buckwheat*, Millet*, Barley*, Brown Rice*, and Sunflower*). *- Signifies certified organically grown?º- Signifies ethically wild-crafted

All our masks should remain moist on the skin – do not let them dry out.

All our masks are biologically active and made from pre-digested ingredients increasing their therapeutic potential. By adding moisture to the mask, these unique ingredients are brought to life and in turn allow the skin to fully absorb their nutrients.

How often can you use this mask?

Once a week or more, as needed.

For our raw food and vegan friends, please note, that this is the ONLY product in our entire range that contains an animal ingredient. This mask contains organic goat milk protein.

How to Use: (my personal favorite recipe)

• Mix one full teaspoon of Universal Mask with
• One full teaspoon of organic goat milk yogurt (or Keifer)
• Add one full teaspoon of raw organic honey
• Blend well in a small bowl. (The texture should be like a creamy yogurt, not too thick or thin.)
• Apply with fingertips and keep on for up to 20 minutes.
• Rinse with warm damp towels and follow with Dr. Alkaitis’ Herbal Toner.

Note: You may choose to only use water, and omit either the honey and or yogurt. All are perfectly fine choices. So long as an aqueous substance activates the mask, it will work. If you do only use water with this mask, keep water mister handy to spritz your face every now and then to keep the mixture moist while on your skin.

By the way, when mixed this mask is a deep green color, which usually evokes lots of giggles from loved ones.

Next week, we will cover Dr. Alkaitis Organic Body Wash.

See you then!

Peace & Health,
