Dr. Alkaitis Organic Enzyme Exfoliating Mask

Welcome back to Week 9 of our product blog series.

For those of you who have sensitive and acne prone skin, last week’s post about the organic flower mask might have made you feel a little left out… but I already knew that this week was going to be for you!  (Well, it’s actually for everyone but has a special place just for you!)

Who is the Organic Exfoliating Enzyme mask good for?

• Sensitive skin
• Acne and troubled skin conditions
• Normal skin
• Dry skin
• Oily skin

What exactly does this treatment mask do?

Organic Enzyme Exfoliating Mask is a biological peel and is ideal for skin that needs to be renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. It is a gentle and effective anti-aging treatment. It thoroughly removes all of the accumulated debris in the skin, while supplying essential phyto-nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals to the skin. This mask also has a brightening and lightening effect, which makes it excellent for hyper-pigmentation.

Good to Know:

This mask should not be used more than twice a month or left on longer then 7-10 minutes. (10 minutes recommend for thicker oily skin)

Why only twice a month?

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with your precious tender skin, is to over-exfoliate! This can create a greater imbalance with the natural ph of your skin, once that is out of whack, you open yourself up to a whole host of unforeseen problems: think acne skin, thin skin, sensitive skin, highly reactive skin, hyper-pigmentation to list a few.

The Good News is:

When you use all of our products on a regular basis, they will NATURALLY & GENTLY exfoliate your skin automatically without the ‘grit and grind’ of harsh exfoliants. Just using the therapeutic power of the plants, herbs and oils to detoxify, cleanse, and re-establish balance are all done in a holistic and loving manner.

Super sensitive, acne & troubled skin:

For those of you who do have super sensitive, chemical sensitivities, acne and troubled skin, who want the bi-monthly benefit of exfoliation, this mask is for you!

Because this mask is a biological peel, once you apply the thin layer of mask, there is no scrubbing or rubbing to be done. No spreading bacteria, or aggravation. You don’t need to do a thing. Just wait for 7 minutes, and remove. Voila!

Your face will not only look brighter and lighter in appearance, but you just fed your skin with some very therapeutic herbs, anti-oxdiants, minerals and enzymes:

Ingredients: Organic Oat Buds*, Blueberry*, Bilberry*, Strawberry*, Raspberry*, Grapes* and Blackberry*; Extracts of Barley Grass*, Turmeric* and Cat’s Claw; Enzyme Exfoliating Complex consisting of Cellulase, Lipase, Lactase, Protease Complex, Xylinase, Amylase, Bromelain, Papain, Maltase, Beta-Glucanase, Invertase, Pectinase, Mannanase, Phytase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Arabinosidase and Glucoamylase.

Don’t be surprise if you get a bunch of compliments in the days that follow.

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.

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

How to Use:

• Mix one full teaspoon of powdered mask with approximately one teaspoon of spring or purified water in a small bowl and mix into thin paste.

• Apply evenly with fingertips to face, neck, and décolletage.

• Keep mask moist by spritzing with water.

• After 7 minutes, rinse face with lukewarm water and Dr. Alkaitis Organic Purifying Cleanser to remove the mask residue. (It’s normal to feel a slight ‘gummy’ residue left behind on the skin)

• Follow with the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Herbal Toner.

The best way to remove all our masks is with warm soft damp towels. You will most likely need to completely rinse 2 or 3 times to fully remove this product.

Peace & Health,

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,

How To Use Dr. Alkaitis Organic Herbal Toner:

In the palm of your hand dispense a dime size amount of Toner. Apply over the entire face, using your finger-tips. Massage well into the skin. (It’s not necessary to use on cotton pads, the ingredients are too good to waste on it).

Oily skin types may use the Toner during the day instead of Dr. Alkaitis’ Organic Day Creme to promote a smooth and shine-free complexion, and use Dr. Alkaitis’ Night Creme before going to bed.

In the morning, after washing my face with Dr. Alkaitis Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser, I will then apply the Toner with my finger-tips and massage in well. While my face is still slightly damp from the Toner, I apply one pump of my Dr. Alkaitis Organic Day Creme and smooth onto my face & neck. Massage well into your skin.

Wait a few minutes for the Day Creme to soak in before applying your make-up. In the Evening, repeat the same procedure: Cleanse, Tone, Hydrate.

Soothing Treatment for Sunburned Skin:

Do the following: gently sponge your sunburn with tepid water and carefully towel dry. Apply a quarter-sized amount of the Toner onto the skin and let dry. Re-apply as needed. Hydrate with Dr. Alkaitis’ Organic Night Creme.
