Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Creme

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to Week 6 of our Product Blog series.

The lovely scent alone is reason enough to put your best face forward when starting the day with Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Crème.

This lightweight crème is expertly blended for normal to dry skin. If you’re like me and tend to have an oily complexion, I recommend trying either the Soothing Gel or Toner instead of the Day Crème.

However, even though I fall into the latter skin condition, you should know that I cannot live without this nurturing crème in the dead of winter.

My beauty advice to you: beware of getting stuck in the same old routine. Be sure to customize your skin care regime based on the seasons, travel, diet, and stress. All of these factors will affect your skin.

By being more aware of your environment and the potential stressors you can prevent skin damage and slow down the signs of aging just by addressing your skin’s needs day-by-day.

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Crème is a wonderful moisturizing elixir capable of repairing, healing and protecting skin against daily environmental damage while stimulating the oxygen supply to the skin’s surface thereby increasing luminosity.

Some therapeutic benefits include:

1. Stimulates circulation and cell renewal
2. Rejuvenating and healing
3. Naturally helps to protect against sun-damage

Will bring a healthy blush to your skin when first applied, and will give an all day, long lasting, illuminated, dewy appearance.

This non-clogging crème may be used under make-up and sunscreen.

This is a vegan, living, raw product and it contains:

• Vitamins
• Medicinal herbs
• Therapeutic and essential oils

How to Use:

After applying toner, pump the crème bottle once or twice and gently smooth on your face and neck in a circular and upwards motions. If you feel that you need extra slip, then apply the crème while the toner is still moist.

Wait a few minutes for the crème to fully absorb and then apply your make-up.

Pro Make-Up tip:

• Pump one squirt of Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Crème into the palm of your hand.
• Pump one squirt of your liquid foundation.
• With a small makeup brush dip-blend the two products together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
• Apply the mixture on your face and massage into your neck.
• Allow a few minutes to absorb fully into your skin.
• Dust gently with a translucent powder.

For Extremely Dry Skin:

• Mix one or two pumps of Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Crème into the palm of your hand. Squeeze 1-3 drops of the Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil.
• Blend well and massage into your face and neck.
• Wait a few minutes for the product to fully absorb and then apply your makeup.

As our product blog series continues – next week will be about the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Night crème.

Peace and Health,

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to Week 5 of our Product Blog Series. Today we are covering Dr. Alkaitis Organic Eye Crème.

Thanks to a crew of super talented eco-conscious hair and make-up artists from both sides of the pond; such as Rose-Marie Swift from RMS beauty, Mary Greenwell, Renata Helfman, Leanne Lurie, Leo Won, Obi Reyes; just to list a very few…

Dr. Alkaitis’ products have landed in the hands of some pretty glamorous and talented beings gracing the runways, silver screen, and ad campaigns across the world.

I think writer and fashion blogger, Susan Kirschbaum said it best here.

It’s exciting to have a product line that is touted by the who’s who of the fashion world, especially since their endorsements are unsolicited on our part; thereby making them real!

When I asked bi-costal hair & make-up artist, Alejandra Nerizagal why she found our eye crème to be so effective when preparing a celeb’s face for a photo shoot she offered this explanation:

” It’s excellent for hydrating the skin under the eye especially during the winter season. The skin under the eye during the winter months as well as everyday pollution in the air makes it more difficult to get that smooth application of concealer. As the skin re-hydrates from the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Eye Crème I find it easier to apply the concealer to those troubled areas around the eye.”

Dr. Alkaitis’ Organic Eye Crème is luxuriously textured and gentle crème that rejuvenates and refreshes tired eyes while reducing puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. The therapeutic benefits are the following:

1.     Anti-inflammatory
2.     Tissue Hydrator
3.     Nourishing & Revitalizing
4.     Contains Vitamins
5.     Stimulates new cell growth

To read the full ingredient list, click here.

How to Use: Gently pat a pea-size amount of crème under and on top of the lids. Use daily morning and night.

This is a vegan, living, raw product.

Make-Up Tip from the Pro’s: How to get flawless Under Eye coverage

• Mix one pump of Dr. Alkaitis Organic Eye Crème into the palm of your hand.
• With a small makeup brush dip into your under-eye concealer and mix into the eye creme until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
• Apply the mixture with the brush below and above your eye very gently working the mixture in.
• Allow a few minutes to absorb fully into your skin.
• Dust gently with a translucent powder.

This came out just in time to include in this weeks post: BEAUTY UNDERCOVER blogs about the eye creme.

Next week we will cover Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Crème. Check back for more beauty tips from the experts ~

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to Week 4 of our Product Blog Series…

The whole purpose of highlighting ALKAITIS products on our blog is to give you in-depth information in an informal and relaxed way, because, well, you asked for it! Since so many of our products are able to multi-task, it makes sense to take some time here to explore your technical questions and quell a lot of skin anxiety in general.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I have been jumping up and down with anticipation of the perfect timing to tell you all about Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil.

In the spirit of LOVE and FUN, I get to share a secret with you that has actually never come up in our trainings or materials….

Every single ingredient in the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil is an APHRODISIAC!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ~ now go have some fun!

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil

Yes, it is true… Here is another one of our products that offers multiple therapeutic functions:

1. Anti-inflammatory
2. Anti-viral
3. Anti-bacterial
4. Hydrates and conditions skin
5. Excellent for scars & stretch marks
6. Good for Eczema, dry, itchy skin
7. Good for the Hair, Face & Body
8. After-Sun
9. Countless different applications are below!

The big question – Will it clog my pores? NO. It will not. Medicinal and therapeutic oils have been used for thousands of years to heal all kinds of skin, hair, and body disorders.

It is the QUALITY and TYPE of the oil you are putting on your face that you must be concerned with. I assure you that when your dermatologist told you to stay away from oil, s/he was probably right, because all the synthetic oils out there on the market are pretty insulting to one’s skin.

But ours is not like others, this is therapy for your skin, or as it has been called, a miracle in a bottle. Our Nourishing Treatment Oil is the highest quality combination of certified organic & wild crafted oils that can be found on this planet.

How to Use Dr. Alkaitis Nourishing Treatment Oil

For your Body

After your bath or shower, smooth the oil onto your damp body. With long movements towards your heart, massage the oil in well. Apply daily.

For Extremely Dry Skin

I have spoken with many women who are on various medications or hormones that dry them out so much internally and externally; they never feel like they can get hydrated, while much of this is about what you are taking internally you can try the Oil for your ‘external’ dryness:

If you wear make-up, try mixing 2-3 drops of the Oil into your Day Crème. Wait a few minutes before you apply your make-up.

If you don’t wear make-up, then go ahead and apply 2-3 drops of the Oil on your face and massage in well. Re-apply as needed.

Repeat in the evening. You may add to your Night Crème or just use alone.

For your Scalp & Hair

After I apply the Oil on my body after a shower, I run the remaining Oil on my fingertips onto the ends of my hair. You may also gently warm a small amount of Oil and treat yourself to a Warm Oil Hair Treatment. The amount will depend on the length of your hair. Remember the more Oil you use, the longer it will take to wash out.

Comb the Oil through to the ends of your hair and cover with a towel or shower cap. I try to leave this on as long as possible for the full benefit, sometimes even overnight. The best way to rinse the Oil out of your hair is to shampoo a few times with Dr. Alkaitis Organic Shampoo and then rinse with fresh or canned organic Coconut Milk. This is a great treatment to do once or twice a month, to revive stressed and damaged hair.

For your Nails & Cuticles

This is actually a critical part of my manicure & pedicure.

I massage the Oil onto my nails and then take a hot bath – after the bath your skin is soft and pliable, and then it’s a cinch to remove cuticles. Re-apply Oil on your hands and feet after bath and finish up your mani & pedi.

For your Spa & At-Home Facials

This is the product that your esthetician is massaging into your skin during a signature Dr. Alkaitis Organic Skin Food Facial Treatment.

The Oil softens the skin and dissolves clogged pores and allows for easy extractions. At home:

• Massage Oil on your cleansed face and leave on for 20 minutes or longer. (Please do not attempt to give yourself extractions.)
• Rinse with a warm damp wash cloth
• Cleanse with the Purifying Cleaner.
• Finish with the Herbal Toner.

Your skin will look radiant!

At-Home Mask Treatments

When preparing a Dr. Alkaitis Cellular Repair or Universal Mask, I like to add a few drops of the Oil to my Mask mixture. It helps to keep the Mask moist and provides extra hydration to your skin.

And last but not least!

For Oily & Acne Skin

Let me help set the record straight on a partial skin myth, Oil is not bad for your skin, actually oil cuts oil. I did not make this up. This is a 5000-year-old Ayurvedic healing tradition. This means that because you have an imbalanced skin condition, the best way to treat it is with the ‘imbalance’ (oil). Our instinct would be to dry out the oil; yet this is actually wrong because our skin then works double time to re-establish the oil that we just worked so hard to dry out. Again, this only works if the oil is therapeutic high quality oil.

The best way to use this for imbalanced skin is on a cleansed face before bed. Massage a few drops of Oil on the affected areas. I would do this every other night until you see improvement.

From Aphrodisiacs to Acne, our Nourishing Treatment Oil will give your skin the love it needs on Valentine’s Day, and every day!

This Sunday February 14^th is also the Chinese New Year. This is the year of the tiger. I wanted to share a wonderful post about it from Gwyneth Paltrows’ blog: http://www.goop.com/newsletter/69/en/

Once again, please don’t hold back if you have any questions about this product. Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Peace and Health,

Trish Alkaitis
