Is Green Tea Skin Care Just Another Fad?

Green tea has been considered one of the more potent healers for over four thousand years in Asian medicine .You may be aware that it is good for your body as a tasty drink. But do you know that it also shows up as a key ingredient in a variety of skin and hair care products? There is research showing that green tea has a variety of beneficial properties when used topically and in this blog we hope to show you some of these benefits to your skin and why we think that green tea skin care is not just another fad.

How is Green Tea Processed?

Green teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, native to Asia, but can be found all over the world. It can be processed into extract formulas. The leaves used in green tea skincare products are not fermented at all. The leaves are steamed and then rolled and dried. It is a very simple process that leads to the leaves retaining much of their healing properties. This process leaves the Epigallocatechin Gallate (a type of catechins), also known as EGCg present in the processed tea. Epigallocatechin Gallate is one of the important properties found in this herb and this property could be lost during the fermenting process that takes place with the black type of herb.

Why is Green Tea So Good for Skin?

 

Fight Free Radicals

Green tea contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals.

Free radicals can form in your skin for a variety of reasons, including exposure to toxins. However, the most common cause of free radicals in skin cells is UV radiation from sunlight, which causes up to 90% of all signs of premature aging.

Neutralize UV Light

In several studies, green tea extract was shown to neutralize the damage done by exposure to UV rays.

 Since exposure to sunlight is a major factor that ages the skin, it is reasonable to assume that green tea cream could help prevent premature aging.

 No one is advocating giving up your sunscreen in favor of green tea just yet, but green tea can definitely help enhance its effectiveness.

Fight Inflammation

Green tea also has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. If your skin is very sensitive and often red, products containing green tea extract may help soothe it.

Sooth Acne and Lighten Skin

 Everyone has experienced a bad case of acne at least once in their lives - usually at the worst possible time.

 In addition to the benefits listed above, green tea catechins are anti-bacterial and can decrease hormone activity. This means green tea is an effective way to control acne, without the unpleasant side effects of benzoyl peroxide-based creams.

It’s really hard to summarize the benefits of green tea in one paragraph – you simply need to try it for yourself and see why so many people are praising it day after day.

Say Good Bye to Pimples

Pimples are not just the problem of teenagers; they can occur in any person between the age of 10 and 40. Pimples usually occur when the sebaceous glands become active during puberty. In this blog we hope to show you how you can help treat your pimples by using our natural Konjac sponges and eventually say good bye to pimples.

What are the causes of pimples?

The sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, exist inside the pores of our skin. The outer layers of our skin are being shed continuously.

Sometimes, dead skin cells are left behind and get stuck together by the sticky sebum, causing a blockage in the pore.

Pore blockage is more likely to occur during puberty (the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction). More sebum is produced by the sebaceous gland - as the pore is blocked, it accumulates behind the blockage.

This accumulated and blocked sebum has bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes; this slow-growing bacterium is linked to acne. Propionibacterium acnes generally exist harmlessly on our skin - however, when the conditions are right, it can reproduce more rapidly and become a problem. The bacterium feeds off the sebum and produces a substance that causes an immune response, leading to inflammation of the skin and spots.

The skin of people who are prone to acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of testosterone - a natural hormone found in both males and females. In such people the testosterone can make the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, making the clogging up of dead skin cells more likely, which in turn increases the probability of blocking the pores, etc.

Treating Pimples with Konjac Sponges.

The key to controlling your Acne and Pimple is your capability to control the body oils that you might have in your face. Choose gentle herbal facial cleansers and use them a minimum of twice throughout the day to remove debris, oil, perspiration, and pollutants that have built up about the skin. Our Charcoal konjac sponges are a perfect natural cleanser to help with those unsightly pimples. The Bamboo Charcoal in these sponges contains activated carbon & various minerals that enhance absorptive ability, perfect for removing excess oil. Bamboo Charcoal is also a natural anti- oxidant so will help fight acne-causing bacteria. In addition Konjac sponges naturally moisturize your skin and balances out the pH of it too. In fact Konjac sponges are ideal for people with hypersensitive skin.

Everyone loves our new Konjac Sponges.

We have been selling and using Konjac sponges, the latest addition to our skin care range for over a month now. The feedback so far has been very positive, with many of our friends and customers commenting on what a great addition to their skin care regime. It has been said by many of our customers how soft they find their Konjac sponges. They have also commented on our charcoal Konjac sponges which they have found to be excellent in clearing small facial blemishes and reducing acne.

Men can use Konjac sponges too!
I gave one of our pure Konjac sponges to a friend the other day. Like most men he suffers from shaving rash as he wet shaves every day. He mentioned to me that he has been using his sponge before he shaves and it seemed to help him get a better, smoother shave, thus reducing irritation and shaving rash.
I also wet shave so I thought I would give washing my face with a Konjac sponge a go before shaving and I must agree that using my Konjac sponge as a pre shave preparation technique has helped me in the daily chore of shaving.
So to all you men out there why not add a Konjac sponge wash to your morning routine, we are sure you will find it beneficial.

What next for Konjac Sponges.

We are developing two new Konjac sponges; the first a Green Tea Konjac sponge that will be available very shortly on our online store and also from our office here in Bangkok.
Green tea has a special antioxidant in it. The antioxidant is used to clear cell damage on the skin. It has also been found that Green tea can very quickly rejuvenate your skin. Even if it is not damaged, skin can always look better, as there is always room for improvement. So using Konjac sponges impregnated with high quality green tea is a perfect facial sponge for sensitive easily irritated, hypersensitive skin.  It helps to turn rough and hardened skin into soft and radiant skin, rejuvenating, plumping and helping to return the skins natural elasticity. It will also be excellent for skin that has had lots of sun exposure.

The second sponge we are developing is a bath size Konjac sponge. Just like our facial Konjac Sponge, the new bath sized Konjac sponge will be suitable for even the most sensitive skin. The bath Konjac sponge will effectively dissolve and remove excess sebum, dirt and dead skin cell from pores.
Our Konjac Bath Sponge will contain a natural weak acid that helps clean your skin so there is no need for additional cleansers or soaps unless you really want them.
 The natural moisturizing ingredient found in the Yizhi bath Konjac Sponge will enhances skin texture and retain water levels to keep skin soft & fresh.

So please stay tuned for more information on Konjac sponges but in the mean time if you want to try one of our Konjac sponges out for yourself please check out our web store  at www.amazingthaibeauty.com

The Great Slippery Soap Debate

The great soap debate lingers on: Which is better, liquid soap or bar soap? The verdict is in: When it comes to personal hygiene, both liquid and bar soap are up to the task and get the job done. However, neither the proponents of liquid soap nor the supporters of bar soap have an open-shut case since both soaps have their pros and cons. What's the bottom line? It's up to you, the consumer, to decide which type of soap offers the most benefits in your situation and for your personal skin type. To help you gain some clarity on this 'slippery' issue and to decide what is best for you here are some of the facts.

Skin type
Liquid soap contains a lower ph level than bar soap and is therefore gentler and suitable for people with sensitive skin. Because it is also able to retain more than 30% of the skin’s natural moisture, it is really good for dry skin. Bar soap on the other hand, can dry the skin and cause breakouts. However, this doesn’t mean that all types of bar soap are bad for our skin. Bar soap that contains glycerin is good for people with sensitive skin, eczema and psoriasis as this ingredient has healing properties as well as the ability of attracting water to the skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated. In addition, bars soaps formulated with glycerin combined with natural oils moisturize skin without drying it. There are lots of bar soaps that don’t contain fragrance, which can be irritating. Most liquid soaps on the other hand are scented, but you can still find some that are fragrance-free.

Efficiency
The liquid type can be used with a washcloth and it produces lather faster than bar soaps, which instead feel nice and creamy in your hands.

Convenience
Because liquid soaps come in a packaging with a pump dispenser, they are very practical to use in the shower, but it is easy to overestimate the amount of soap you need. Soap bars, on the other hand, turns slimy and slips everywhere but you only use the needed amount.

Health risk
Because bar soap is left exposed to moisture, it is more likely to grow small amounts of bacteria. While the risk of getting a disease from the soap is quite remote, it is better not to share it with a large amount of people. Liquid soap, on the other hand, is pumped from the packaging so it is less likely to grow bacteria. However, if you use it with a washcloth, make sure you dry it properly, as it could harbor bacteria otherwise.

Packaging
Liquid soap usually comes in a bottle with a pump dispenser. Refillers are also available so that you don’t need to buy a whole new package. Instead, bar soaps usually come wrapped in paper or cardboard. The packaging is easier to recycle.

Scum
Unlike liquid soap, bars leave a soap scum in the shower, so that you need to clean the tub more often.

Cost
Cost is another determining factor, as liquid soap is substantially more expensive than bar soap. If money is an issue, consider placing a liquid soap dispenser in public areas - for both decorative and hygienic purposes - and using a bar soap when you bathe or shower.

 Finally
In actuality, there is no right or wrong answer. Which type of soap you use is a personal choice based on your skin type, on your skin's reactions to certain additives (i.e., moisturizers and fragrances), and on your knowledge of the pros and cons of liquid soap versus bar soap.

Centella Herbal Liquid Soap

You can purchase both types of soap at our on line store www.amazingthaibeauty.com . Why not try one of our new range of herbal liquid soaps which include our exclusive Centella Herbal Liquid Soap.

Beauty For Your Dog

Today I am going to tell you about a different product we have in store & tips on how to use it. However I will still be talking about a beauty product but this time for your much loved member of your family, your dog.

When you choose a dog shampoo or conditioner, think about your dog’s skin. Is it extra sensitive?
If your dog scratches frequently, it may well have very sensitive skin. If your pet dog possesses really sensitive skin, you might try our Pitta dog shampoo which formula contains Protein from wheat to nourish your dog’s hair keeping it soft. This protein also prevents drying of dog’s skin & prevents itching.
Our dog shampoo also contains Oil from tea leaves which helps to prevent Irritation from biting by ticks or fleas. It also reduces and prevents unpleasant odors from your dog. Lastly Pitta Dog shampoo contains pine oil which helps dogs relax & it also relieves muscle tension & fatigue. It also prevents fleas on dogs.

Dog shampoos like ours that incorporate much less synthetic ingredients are usually more suitable for your dog as they have natural ingredients.
Avoid buying shampoos that are perfumed in any respect, fragrances also can inflame the dogs skin.The scents can irritate a dog's skin. You know that some sort of extra ingredient has to be placed into the shampoo and some dogs may not be as tolerant as others when it comes to these ingredients. That is why it is a good idea to play it safe and get a lightly scented shampoo. Your dog will also smell pleasant instead of smelling like he or she just left a beauty salon full of chemicals
Frequently bathing your dog is actually part of a beneficial care plan. If your dog has got any rashes or even inflamed skin, you may possibly consider using a medicated canine shampoo.
It is important to ensure that none of the shampoo or conditioner makes contact with the dogs face as well as mouth area when you're bathing him.
Important thing to remember!Lastly & probably the most significant point is to never ever use shampoo or conditioner for human beings on a canine.  It may irritate your dog’s pores and skin much more or cause extreme soreness.
