Dr. Alkaitis Organic Body Wash

Welcome back to Week 12 of our product blog series!

Last week’s post on the Universal Mask concluded our face care line, for now!

This week’s post will cover the other 90% of your body leaving your skin feeling silky smooth with the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Herbal Body Wash.

As our bodies’ largest organ, our skin is a powerful protector that safeguards us from the external world and it needs to last you a lifetime.

Too many daily care products are loaded with drying detergents and synthetic chemicals making it harder for our underappreciated skin to hold moisture in, block water out, naturally slough off dead cells and, most importantly, shield us from overexposure to the sun.

This is why our organic herbal body wash is formulated to do a whole lot more than merely ‘wash’…read on:

Handcrafted with vitamins, pure essential oils, organic medicinal herbs and a castile soap that has matured over six months, this product, gently, thoroughly and lavishly cleans the skin, leaving it moist and supple.

Check out this plethora of living, raw and organic ingredients:

Ingredients: Into Dr. Alkaitis’ Organic Castile Soap Base made from organic, cold pressed, virgin Olive*, Jojoba*, Coconut* and Apricot Pit* Oils, the following herbals are blended: Organic Aloe Vera Gel*, Vegetable Glycerin, Bio-Pure Skin Complex composed of Lavender Flowers*, Chamomile Flowers*, Rosemary*, Lemon Balsam*, Benzoinº, Black Elder*, Bitter Orange*, Borage*, Mexican Marigold*, Plantain*, Grapefruit, Marsh Mallow*, Sea Wrackº and Atlantic Seaweedº, Vegetable Glycerin, natural Vitamin C Complex and Vitamin E Complex (D-alpha,?beta, gamma, delta tocopherols), and 100% Pure Essential Oils.* – Signifies certified organically grown.?º – Signifies ethically wild-crafted.

Regular use of this therapeutic body wash will leave your skin moist and supple. It is also suitable and highly beneficial for those with super sensitive skin from skin disorders, like psoriasis and eczema, to anyone suffering with multiple chemical sensitivities.

So right about now you might be wondering how does it smell?  It’s neither feminine nor masculine.

It’s the scent of divine nature.

Like a bike ride through the Hamptons on an early spring day.

Bursting forth with green notes, warm sun on pine needles, salty sea air mingling with dried seaweed, a country herb garden with a touch of wood and wild flowers.

Fresh young spring green with a nod to vetiver

It will never dry your skin out and will energize your body and senses.

How to Use: This product will lather generously if you apply it on one of those shower poufs. If you choose to use directly on the body then I recommend pouring some body wash into the palm of your hand and work it into lather before washing your body with it.

Silky Smooth Body Glow Treatment: Mix a quarter size amount of the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil with a quarter size amount of the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Body Wash into the palm of your hand. Rub palms together to create lather, wash your body all over with this lovely, hydrating body oil cleanser. This is an excellent all year round treatment, but especially great for after sports and sun, when your body needs extra hydration, protection and rejuvenation.

Coming up next week is Dr. Alkaitis Organic Shampoo and a very luxurious hair treatment that will keep your hair bouncy and shiny all through the summer – be sure to check back!

Peace and Health,

Trish

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,

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.

The first person to correctly guess what product I will introduce next week will win a sample kit containing 11 of our products. Be sure to leave your answer in the comment section and I will contact you for your address.

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

To read the full ingredient list, click here.

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,
