Dr. Alkaitis Organic Soothing Gel

Hello Everybody,

I am excited today to talk to you about the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Soothing Gel. I have to admit that this product is one of my personal favorites and I have been known to fondly reference to it as my herbal first aid kit and my skin savior.

It was there for me when after years of having flawless skin, at age 29 much to my dismay I broke out with the worst case of cystic acne from cheek to chin to cheek. So bad that my ‘celebrity esthetician’ deemed me unfixable and sent me off to go get a prescription for a year of Accutane.

Many tears later, and a firm resolve that I must get to the bottom of this naturally and organically, as Accutane was NEVER an option for me: (http://www.drugs.com/accutane.html) a bottle wrapped in a plain paper bag labeled simply GEL arrived in the post.

This was the greatest gift my father had ever given me. Trust me, when I tell you I had tried everything; the more I put on all that smelly synthetic stuff on my skin the more irritated and inflamed my poor face got.

Since Dr. Alkaitis had just formulated this product, it didn’t come with specific instructions. All I can tell you is the moment I applied it I had instant relief from dryness and itchiness within a week.  All the red angry inflamed pustules actually started to look like they were HEALING! This truly was a miracle to me, and the first positive sign I had seen in two years of sheer agony and embarrassment of how the world saw me.

Because my skin condition was so unbalanced, being dry underneath, and oily on top, I could not wear a day cream. I quickly learned that this gel had hydrating and antibacterial qualities being in perfect balance of what I needed for my skin. From that moment on, the GEL lived in my bag and went with me everywhere. I believe that between this amazing product and my then newly found yoga classes, the two had saved my skin.

Let me conclude with this, if I had known then what I know now, I would have been way ahead of the game. While this beautiful product is still my favorite, and I continue to use it daily, nothing can be a substitute for a good diet and health. So, when trying to get to the bottom of your skin issues try to make the body, mind and spirit connection.

Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel is a soothing, hydrating antibacterial treatment that leaves skin soft, supple and refreshed. Good for sensitive skin and post waxing, electrolysis or any hair removal procedure, as well as being ideal for inflammatory conditions including acne, eczema and rosacea.

For a full ingredient list of the Soothing Gel.

This is a vegan, living, raw product.

How To Use Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel

After cleansing with Dr. Alkaitis Purifying Cleanser, gently dry your face. Dispense a dime size amount of Soothing Gel into the palm of your hand and massage into your skin with your fingertips (it’s not necessary to use cotton pads, the ingredients are too good to waste on it!).

Acne, Eczema, Inflamed & Dry Itchy skin

Apply as needed on the face and body. It is recommended that when you are breaking out to refrain from using the day crème and use the Soothing Gel instead. Make-up may be worn on top. If you do wear make-up please try to use one that is free from chemicals such as RMS beauty organic make-up.

After-Shave & After-Wax

For men and women this makes a wonderful antibacterial after-shave & after-wax Soothing Gel for the whole body. You can also keep this product in the refrigerator and apply cold, which will feel great during the summer months on freshly shaved skin.

For Insect bites,  minor skin irritations & more …

Apply as needed. If it’s for your baby, try diluting a small amount of the Soothing Gel with purified water and applying on the affected areas. I have received feedback that this worked very well on some cases of cradle cap.

If you have a story or a question you would like to share with us about this product, we would love to hear it!

As our Product Blog Series continues – next week will be about the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil, yet another one of our products that offers multiple therapeutic functions.

See you next week.

Peace & Heatlh,
