My Skin is So Dry! Summer Just Makes it Worse!

If you are like me and suffer from dry skin, then being out in the sun only seems to dry you out more. It seems as if only Spring and Fall are good seasons. In the Summer all the fun sports and even just picnic get-togethers are designed to bring the fun outdoors where the sun can bake you. Key to keeping that dry skin happy is two main things: a good, powerful moisturizer that can hydrate cells thoroughly, and a strong sunblock to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun. If you have those two things you should be in good shape.

paraben-free-face-creamFirst, the moisturizer. What you should be looking for is a paraben-free face cream that has a high quantity of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is easily absorbed by the skin and, in a moisturizer like Maximum Moisture, is delivered at a maximum therapeutic dosage. That means you are getting all the help your skin can use. As the cream sinks in to your skin and penetrates depleted skin cells, they are renewed and smoothed and re-hydrated. Your skin feels silky smooth and soft instead of dry and flaky. But the best part is that you only feel how good it feels on the outside. On the inside, your skin cells are encouraged to produce more collagen, hold on to more moisture, and be less dry, sensitive and lined. Your face will look radiant, younger and more lovely while your skin is enjoying the moisture treatment! Learn more about Maximum Moisture skin therapy.

Sunblock-titaniumNext, choose a good SPF paraben-free sunscreen or sunblock. You want as few of the rays of the sun getting through your protection as possible. The sun has the ability to damage and wrinkle skin the way few other environmental hazards can. With a good titanium dioxide sunblock the sun’s harmful rays are deflected so that your skin stays safe. And, best of all, ProtectMe sun block has NO parabens, NO PABA, NO fragrances. so it is safe on the most delicate skin. ProtectMe is a UVA/UVB spectrum sun block with SPF 30. Learn more about ProtectMe sunblock here.

So, enjoy your summer. All you have to do is moisturize and protect that dry skin and stop worrying!

Who Put the Pep in Peptides?

Sometimes it seems you can’t turn around without reading that someone is endorsing something that has peptides in it. This or that celebrity tells you that this product with PEPTIDES is going to make you look younger, richer, totally amazing. Well, how can it do that?

What is a peptide, anyway? To make it simple, peptides are a part of the building blocks of your skin. They form chains and help form collagen. When collagen breaks down, certain amino acid chains are released and that triggers the creation of more collagen. We all know collagen is important because it keeps our skin smooth and filled out instead of deflated and loose. Loose skin creates wrinkles; plumper skin with plenty of collagen looks younger, silkier, and the wrinkles are pulled out. So why not just inject collagen under your skin?

You could do that, but if you have seen some of the results of fillers injected under skin, it isn’t all that pretty or convincing. It’s not hard to tell which women have had surgical intervention because no doctor injects collagen the way the skin grows it. And unfortunately, the skin stops creating as much collagen as it gets older.

So where do peptides come in? Frankly, they are amazing. The introduction of peptides into anti-wrinkle face cream was a huge leap forward for women who want to look younger naturally. Because the skin absorbs what you put on it, applying a peptide-rich moisturizer allows those peptides to enter the skin cells telling the cells, “It’s time to make more collagen.” So, your skin does. It makes more collagen the same way it did when you were in your twenties or thirties.  This promotes healthy renewal of skin cells the natural way and instead of looking bloated or tightly stretched like injections can cause, you now look much more like your younger self. Simple.

Ready to try a peptide-based hyaluronic acid cream for the richest moisture and most natural anti-aging formula you’ve ever had? Buy Peptide 6 today and feel and see the difference. Remember, it is Paraben-free and comes with a 90-day guarantee!

Creating an At-Home Spa Day

What is the biggest thing stopping today’s woman from spending the day at a spa? If you said, “price,” you are way off base. Spas can indeed be expensive but for most women the problem is getting enough time. Time tends to be devoted to business or family or creative projects and pretty soon a woman has reached the end of her day and there’s enough time for a bath or a cup of tea. Tell her she needs to carve out 8 hours of time for massage, facial, manicure, steam room, lunch and drive time, and she will probably say something like, “Oh, I wish!”

Nevertheless, we do need to take a step back from time to time and give ourselves some wellness time. If you recognize yourself in the description of the busy woman, how about this? Set aside some basic supplies for an at home spa treatment. Maybe a special fluffy towel and robe, your favorite soft jazz CD, and some Mango Souffle Body Cream with shea butter. Then, either plan to spend an hour enjoying your spa-time, or let it happen spontaneously. Finish up a project and before you get dragged into the next one, go to the linen closet, take out your spa supplies and pour yourself a relaxing bath or maybe jump into a brisk shower. When you come out towel yourself off lightly and then pamper your skin with the Mango Souffle Body Cream. Let the shea butter, aloe vera and rich, hydrating hyaluronic acid soak into your skin erasing any dryness. If you have rough elbows, heels or knees, rub a little extra into those “trouble spots” and let it sink in.

Now that you are fresh and clean and your body is luxuriating in the Mango Souffle Body Cream, put on your relaxation CD and climb onto a chaise or into a recliner and close your eyes. You don’t have to stay like that for hours. You can decide for yourself how much time or how little you have. But be sure to give yourself a minimum of 15 minutes to a half-hour to just breathe. You’ll love your at-home spa time and it will do you a world of good.

Flaws or Imagination?

Women worry about a million things. Some of them may be exaggerations or even imagination when it comes to self image. And that is because so much depends on a woman’s appearance. She looks at it until she is her own worst critic and she is seeing faults that no one else can see.

Well, Mango Madness wishes we could do something about that. We see absolutely beautiful women every day who think their nose is too big or they need to lose weight or they have terrible blemishes. They point to their face and say, “Look!” and what we see is a lovely woman. That isn’t what they are seeing.

Sometimes the concerns are justified. There may be a tendency to oily skin or pores that clog easily creating blemishes. Maybe skin is not smooth and makeup has a tendency to cake or build up in crevices or fine lines.

The best part is, if there is a problem with the skin, it is fixable. Women’s faces are lovely, and there are many products available to make them even lovelier. If you are that woman who has issues with oily skin, maybe a blemish or two, may we suggest some products?

We have products designed just for oily skin and they will not clog your pores! You can see the difference a gentle cleanser can make in removing dead skin cells and cleaning the larger pores. Your skin will feel fresher and look less shiny, and oily! Then a retinol-based cream to reduce wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance to skin is your next step. Why retinol? Because it is made with Vitamin A, one of the most powerful anti-aging ingredients found in nature. Retinol can help your skin renew and rebuild at the cellular level with beautiful results. Age spots, fine lines, and blemishes are reduced and your skin feels smoother, silkier and softer. Best of all, you feel lovely!

How many times when you were young did your mother tell you to eat your vegetables? Of maybe she told you that rabbits never wear glasses because they eat carrots. The lines parents use to get a child to eat may be funny but there are good reasons to believe them. Vegetables, especially foods rich in Vitamin A, like carrots, contribute to the health of your skin and your eyes.

Retinol, a form of Vitamin A commonly used in skincare products, is recommended by skin professionals to reduce acne and to reverse some of the effects of aging like fine lines and wrinkled. Retinol is so potent that if you use a very strong concentration of it you have to have a prescription.

ReNew Youth face cream contains  1,000,000 of IU’s of retinol per ounce which is the maximum allowable strength that can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription. This wonderful skin cream is ideal for women who are experiencing mid-life acne or who simply want to put the power of Vitamin A to work on their complexion.

For best results, apply just before bedtime and leave over night. While you sleep the ReNew Youth cream will penetrate deep into skin cells promoting healthy production of collagen and renewal of damaged cells and soothing acne inflammation at its roots.

Why Make a Big Deal Out of Paraben-Free?

You may have noticed that our website proclaims that our skincare is “paraben-free” and wondered why that is so important to us.  Or, more importantly, why we think it is important to you.

In the area of anti-aging skincare scientists have discovered a lot about exactly how the skin renews itself and how aging and wrinkles can be defeated through better use of ingredients such as peptides and hyaluronic acid. But, while researchers were discovering beneficial components to be used in moisturizers and wrinkle creams, they also discovered that many chemicals currently used in women’s cosmetics and skin care are far more dangerous than previously expected.  Lead and triclosans have been found in lipsticks, parabens have been found in skin care, bath and body care and even food. And that turns out to be a problem.

Researchers quickly discovered that breast cancer tumors had parabens in them. That made the researchers wonder how the chemical got through the skin and ended up in the breast tissue.  Testing revealed that as moisturizers are absorbed into the skin, parabens are absorbed and are now able to penetrate the skin’s natural barriers.  Once in the body, parabens interact directly with the estrogen receptors. In addition, parabens can indirectly enhance estrogenic effects through elevation of estradiol levels. This is not good news since parabens are an inexpensive preservative used in many, many products.

Because of that research, we at Mango Madness Skin Care decided long ago that we would use no parabens, no artificial fragrances, no fillers. Nothing but the best and most effective level of anti-aging formulas with nothing to possibly turn out to be harmful to our customers.  Our moisturizers, wrinkle creams, and other products are not just paraben free, they are cruelty-free and formulated to be the best that we can make them so you can buy with confidence.  If you have not tried Mango Madness moisturizers,  you are missing something wonderful.  Try Maximum Moisture, our rich, luxurious hyaluronic acid cream and know that we care about your health.

The Super Bowl Battle

This is Super Bowl Sunday and many people all over America believe that the big battle is going to be carried out on the football field under the watchful eye of the television cameras.  Well, that will certainly be one battle going on today but it doesn’t begin to compare to the day to day battle against the signs of aging:  wrinkles!

Every day this battle rages on and the teams are pretty powerful.  On the side of aging we have:

  • Age
  • Air pollution
  • Smoking
  • Sun exposure
  • Poor nutrition
  • Bad skincare and makeup products that can actually age you faster.

On the side of beauty we have:

  • Pure Water
  • Delicious fruits and vegetables
  • Sunscreen and sunblock
  • Moisturizers and Anti-wrinkle creams that include hyaluronic acid, retinol, squalane, aloe vera, peptides but NEVER parabens, phthalates or artificial fragrances.

Vegetables and fruits are great for skinSince today IS Super Bowl Sunday let’s start with good nutrition.  Please, step away from the chips and dip. Avoid fried chicken, hot dogs and carbohydrates like cupcakes and those football shaped cakes.  If you are the hostess create some beautiful vegetable trays with fresh fruit and veges that have the vitamins your skin needs and your taste buds love. Your guests will love them too! Next, make sure you have plenty of pure water on hand.  Nothing quenches thirst better and hydrates you from the inside out better than clear, pure, water.  Your skin will love you for it!

Now lets talk about moisturizing.  Really, all you have to do to moisturize is use a simple lotion or cream that seals moisture in after your shower or bath.  But that is not the same as fighting the battle to banish wrinkles.  Today’s woman has a serious arsenal of weapons to choose from and they are not dangerous chemicals.  They are ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins, and squalane that are a part of your skin’s natural renewal process.  Now you are doing far more than just sealing in the moisture from a shower.  Now you are aiding your skin’s natural renewing process and helping rebuild collagen and hydrate depleted cells!  The only other thing you should do is make sure and wear a good sunblock or sunscreen daily.  Ready to start fighting wrinkles:  Here are some of our best anti-aging moisturizers!

Not Settling For Less

Florida Today magazine recently mentioned the trend women are showing towards higher end skin care.  Mentioned were Beach Organics Skin Care and Mango Madness Skin Care.  The article was a slideshow of products and did not indicate what Florida Today thinks motivates women to pay more than department store or supermarket prices for their skin care.  After all, is there really that much difference in one moisturizing product from another? In a word, “yes!” Many of the highly recognizable brand names in skin care put their bottom line before their customers’ health. Preservatives like parabens, fillers, cheap artificial fragrances make it possible for them to roll out an inexpensive product and still make a profit.

But today’s woman is getting wise to those tricks. She reads and makes informed decisions and that, we believe, is what is driving the trend towards a skin product that costs just a little more but is a whole lot safer. Take Mango Madness Skin Care for example. We are 100% paraben-free and we do absolutely no animal testing. There are never any cheap fillers or artificial fragrances in our line because we have made a commitment to our customers and we believe that is exactly what our customers are looking for.

So the woman Florida Today’s skincare article had in mind is going to reach for Mango Madness Skin Care instead of a cheaper moisturizer that might cause a health problem. And we are glad she will! She will also find that our face creams have a more effective concentration of hyaluronic acid and peptides so she will get more age-defying hydration for her money!
