Mature Skin Type Regimen: The Perfect Way to a Younger-looking Skin

As we keep saying here at V&M Naturals, skin care regimens should be curated specifically for the skin type since there is no one solution for all problems. That’s why some products, which are raved by so many, may not work for you. But because we want you to achieve healthy skin without any hassle, we’ll be posting regimens based on the 7 skin types in the next couple of days.

And the first type we’ll focus on is mature skin.

People with this skin type suffer from deep wrinkles, visible pores, sagging skin, and blemishes (hyperpigmentation, dark spots, whiteheads, and blackheads), as skin lacks luminosity and firmness and appears more rough, dull, transparent, and fragile. Getting a younger and more elastic skin is easy with just 6 steps and these products.

Exfoliate with Clear y Rosy

Ridding your face of those blemishes made worse by the dangerous effects of the sun is possible through the use of Clear y Rosy. With active ingredients such as Chrysanthemum Flower, Magnolia Kobus, and Camellia Sinensis Leaf extracts, signs of aging like wrinkles will be diminished significantly, skin will be protected from stress induced by UV exposure, as it becomes firmer and more hydrated. Additionally, pore size will be reduced with its Witch Hazel Extract, while Licorice Root Extract will brighten dark spots. Because it is also infused with Emu Oil, you can be confident that your skin will retain its healthy state.

Cleanse with Shades of Shave

Shades of Shave is the perfect cleanser for those with mature skin type since it contains Aloe vera, which is best for reducing signs of aging while Wild Indigo breaks down the production of cortisol that is responsible for that “tired-looking” skin. Moreover, if has Coffee Extract, which promotes collagen and elastin synthesis, keeping skin firm and tight, and protects against photoaging.

Tone with Rosewater + Aloe Toner

Rosewater Toner removes traces of dirt effectively while keeping skin moisturized through Rose and Aloe vera extracts. The latter also help in repairing dead skin cells and has properties that fight free radicals to protect collagen production.  This product has anti-inflammatory properties that are best for blemishes and other skin conditions.

Boost with Total Potion

Tamarind, the key ingredient of Total Potion, has Hyaluronic Acid that smoothens fine lines and wrinkles and keeps skin hydrated. Its anti-inflammatory properties also improve the appearance of inflamed skin and is a good remedy for pigmentation. This also protects from free radicals while acting as a gentle brightening agent, best for dark spots and other blemishes.

Moisturize with Argan Oil

Argan Oil is best in reducing the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation. Moreover, it is a good antioxidant that is best for healing inflamed and damaged skin. It is rich in fatty acids that have softening properties as it gives well moisturization to the skin.

Protect with Keep Safe

Protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun is necessary especially since they highly contribute to the early signs of skin aging. To achieve this, you will need Keep Safe Tinted Sunblock. It has Grapefruit and Bitter Orange extracts that help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will not only be defended from UV light but also maintain its moisture through Argan and Jojoba Seed Oil.

Taking care of your skin and dealing with problem areas will now be easier with these recommended products!

Tamarind: The Perfect Ingredient for an Anti-Aging Potion

Aging. The one thing that we all will inevitably go through and its signs we hope not to appear anytime soon. This is primarily the reason why there is an abundance of anti-aging products on the market. However, we have to understand that as we age, our skin becomes more sensitive and greater care is needed. So, how exactly do we achieve glow and radiance for an even longer period of time if we continuously use products that have harsh chemicals?

For a natural occurrence as aging, only a natural ingredient can effectively reduce its signs: tamarind. Yes, those tasty fruits that are commonly part of delicious dishes can also be used as part of your skin care regimen. Let us tell you the many benefits it can give:

  1. Contains Hyaluronic Acid that moisturizes skin and smoothens fine lines and wrinkles.
  2. Tamarind seeds have Xyloglycans, which can help in providing relief from minor skin rashes.
  3. Has anti-inflammatory properties that improve the appearance of pigmentation.
  4. Has antibacterial properties that are effective in preventing the formation of pimples, while its Vitamin A and antioxidants cure acne.
  5. Rich in Vitamin C, enzymes and collagen fiber to brighten skin without harsh peeling, making it perfect even for those with highly sensitive skin.

There is no way in stopping aging and really, it’s not a problem in any way. But there is certainly no harm in wanting to look young for a couple more years, is there? And while we’re at it, let’s use products that are natural, which makes them good for the environment as well as our health. Just like Total Potion, which ticks all boxes for being organic and highly effective!

If you’re reading this blog then it’s either you’re an avid fan of our products and wants to see what’s new or this is the first time you’ve heard of the brand and wants to know what we’re all about. Well, if you’re one of the former, you may already know about these holy grail items but continue reading on because you may just find new uses to your favorites. And if you’re new here, first of all, welcome to the club where beauty is enhanced through the use of the environment’s natural resources. Second, let our clients’ reviews introduce you to JUST 5 of the many best-sellers of V&M Naturals.

 

       

Emu Oil

 

“I use this oil for many things. I put this directly on my lips, hands and feet whenever they are dry/cracked and this oil instantly softens and relieves the dryness. The consistency is quite thick but absorbs really quickly. I also use this oil after my beach trips and it really helps soothe and heal my sunburned skin. This oil also works nicely for my hair. I combine one or two drops of this together with some coconut oil and apply it on clean dry hair. I leave this on overnight and the next day, I shampoo as normal. This makes my hair very soft and shiny!”

 

Melissa, 25

Witch Hazel Toner

 

“I've been suffering from acne weeks ago, until my sister bought this product. I've used a lot of acne toner since then but this one's my fav. (Plus, it's organic) it did not cause further breakouts rather reduce, help heal faster and diminish those pimp blemishes. It also removes dirt and reduces oiliness. Helps on dullness too. For the scent, it smells nice. My acne's gone but I will continue using this toner for acne prevention.”

 

Ruth, 22

CPC + G Oil

 

“For about 2 months and a half of consistent nightly use, I've liked this product so far. The oil isn't greasy and it easily absorbs into the skin within seconds upon application. It feels mild and gentle on the body and face (which is a good plus btw) and I've noticed that my underarms and inner thighs significantly lightened after the first month as well. I use this religiously in tandem with the Exfobomb and it works wonders on my skin. I can definitely vouch that this product stays true to its claims and I'll be sure to repurchase once I finish my first bottle.”

 

Clendelle, 20

 

Exfobomb

 

“This is the product I've been looking for ages! I've tried other products but only made it worst, extensive dryness and darkness but this one did its job just great. I've been using this for two months and the results are showing. 1st month, I've seen the effectivity so I said why not continue? Consistency is the key. I use this specifically on my elbows, knees, inner thigh and butt. And it's really worth it. I'm gonna repurchase and give it as a gift to my girls who has dark problems too.”

 

Jermaine, 26

     
      

 

Bikini Bomb

 

“Loving this product so much! With religious application (day and night), visible effects can be seen in two weeks. Just two weeks! That's how effective this is. I also just recently incorporated CPc + G oil into my routine and both work like magic on stubborn scars. One of the benefits also is that it moisturizes at the same time, no more chafing!”

 

Raunice, 25

Natural Cellulose: Get Soft and Healthy Skin Without the Pain

Some people say ‘beauty is pain’.  So, is that why getting pink luscious lips have to be so painful? You see, it doesn’t have to be that way. Not at all, not anymore. Especially when you use Coco Vanille and Melon Loco Cellulose Hydrating Lip Polish.

But what is their difference from those other brands?

These products are rich in oils and butter that will surely seep through your skin so it gets all the benefits it needs in repairing any damage. Also, the formulation was made in a way that it will be able to better protect, moisturize and soothe the lips. Some of these natural ingredients include Safflower Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Murumuru Butter, which are abundant with vitamins and fatty acids that are ideal for skin rejuvenation and healing.

What makes these lip scrubs even more unique is the fact natural cellulose was used and not big sugar granules or plastic beads.

Not only that, they are not synthetic, making them so much better for the environment as well!

What’s more, is you get any of the two variants PLUS Smooch Lip Detox for only P500 if you buy this month of April.

Pearl Powder: Skin Care Solution from the Depths of the Oceans

Ever wonder what royalties from the olden days used to take care of their skin? Well, let me tell you now that it’s not easily acquired. Then, you’d have to swim deep into the oceans to get the main ingredient for their skin care. And that is the luxurious stone Pearl that would then be turned into powder to utilize its many different benefits that even Cleopatra herself used!

Good thing, you wouldn’t have to dive deep into the ocean to get this coveted mineral because we have just the right products containing this sought-after ingredient: Eternal Pearl and Pearl Luminescence.

Both of these products are infused with pearl powder that can help in reducing the appearance of blemishes and scars and lighten freckles and dark patches. It also makes the skin fine, smooth, and elastic as it helps in the rejuvenation of cells and stimulation of collagen production. This also has properties that contribute to the healing of skin damaged by the sun. Moreover, it can shrink pore size that would add to that youthful glow everyone wants to have. Excess oil will be absorbed while UV rays will be filtered, as it greatly hydrates and moisturizes your skin in the process.

Now that you know everything there is about the excellent benefits of pearl powder, I suggest you hurry to your nearest store and get this Pearl Combo!

Don’t Forget These Essential Oils On Your Next Trip

Travelling is one of the most enjoyable things that we can experience. Unfortunately, this can be someone’s nightmare. That is fairly understandable because there are so many factors that contribute to travel, as many unexpected things also happen. So, the best we can do is to really prepare for it.
Here are five essential oils you shouldn’t leave behind when wandering outdoors.


1. Peppermint

Going from one place to another may involve a lot of time spent traversing uneven roads, turbulent air, or angry seas and all of these can cause motion sickness. For these kinds of incidents, Peppermint Oil is your best option as it has a calming effect on the stomach, alleviating nausea. Moreover, one drop of this on a tissue and put under the seat can also help in preventing travel sickness.

 

2. Eucalyptus

Getting stuck in traffic is already bad enough but this becomes worse during summertime. To keep both your body and mind cool during these times, put one drop of Eucalyptus Oil on a cotton ball, on the car floor, and away from heat. This will not only give a refreshing feel but also relax drivers and passengers alike. Meanwhile, longer journeys require alertness that can be achieved with two drops of this diluted Eucalyptus Oil in morning baths.

 

3. Lavender

For some, flying on an airplane gives them the freedom of a bird. For others, it can be the very cause of their brain becoming chaotic. If you’re one of these people, always have some Lavender Oil with you because it can be the very thing that saves you from a dreadful anxiety attack. Just put one drop of this and another of geranium oil on a tissue then put it in a resealable bag. When you start to feel anxious, hold this to your nose, inhale deeply, and relax.

 

4. Chamomile

There are two types of airplane passengers: those who carry children and those who’ve had enough of their noise. To ease this discomfort, mix 5 drops of Chamomile Oil in 15ml of a light carrier oil. This formula would be used to massage the child’s feet and legs to help them calm down.

 

5. Lemongrass

You wouldn’t have to suffer from jet lag as much as you used to with the help of a few essential oils, including Lemongrass Oil. Before your journey, take a bath with 2 drops of this and rosemary oil in the morning. Once you arrive at your destination, put one drop each of lavender and geranium oils before going to bed. Continue this routine until you see the diminished effects of jet lag.

Now, travelling wouldn’t be such a big hassle as you carry these five essential oils in your luggage. What’s more, if you purchase them this month of April, you get them at a 20% discount! So, hurry and get them all before your next trip!

Feel Fresh Down Under

To us women, the refreshing feeling brought by feminine wash to our intimate area is a great addition to our confidence and comfort for an entire day. Since it’s one of the most sensitive parts of the body, it is only right that we use only the mildest products. So, let’s make today the start of using products that would really take care of our parts down there and have loads of benefits for our skin as well. And that could only be done with our Healthy Intimates Feminine Foaming Cleanser in Flora and Fresh!

 

Unlike other brands, these Feminine Foaming Cleansers:

  1. Calm sensitive skin as they have anti-inflammatory properties due to the Chamomile Flower extract present. This is also able to inhibit bacterial growth and sooth irritated skin.
  2. Increase cell turnover and remove dead skin cells due to the incorporation of Sugar Cane extract.
  3. Brighten and support healthy skin for its Lemon extract that is rich with Vitamin C.
  4. Improve discoloration because of the mild bleaching properties present in Orange extract.
  5. Help in maintaining skin health and structure for the high amounts of collagen and elastin in Apple extract.

What makes these two even more unique is the fact that they are the only feminine wash that has a foaming concept but without the use of SLS (a harsh foaming agent), as mild surfactants were used instead.

Forget about those heavily-chemicalized products that only promise to bring freshness to our hoohoo. Instead, go for something safe, mild, and organic that revitalizes your skin and leaves you with a fresh feeling throughout the day!

Don’t believe me? Then let these reviews speak for themselves.

Green Aloes & Tea

 

“Green Aloes and Tea is perfect for me as it improves my mood and keeps me feeling fresh. The scent lasts a good 7-8 hours so one bottle will last a long time. It has a good, sturdy packaging that is travel friendly. I bring this with me everywhere”

 

Lesley, 34 

Flora & Blue Seas

 

“Another V&M Naturals fragrance fab find! I initially got intrigued with its description, the scent of sea breeze. Being a beach lover, I immediately order 1 and found the scent very nice. It’s not overpowering and lasts quite long. Liking it, have also sent 1 bottle to my fellow beach lover and bff. She said she also liked how it settles on her!”

 

Alma, 38 

Iris & Incense

 

“Super love the scent! I never told my husband I'd changed the scent I am wearing but he noticed right away because he said it smells so good on me. It reminds me of clean, fresh just-got-out-of-the-shower scents. Smells powdery and fresh. I spray it even when I am just staying home. I would buy again even after finishing the 2 bottles I hoarded.”

 

Celene, 35 

Nectarine Comb Dews

 

“This fragrance has a very refreshing smell. It reminds me so much of how nature smells in the morning and brings about a relaxing mood. I love the lightness and the hint of sensuality in this perfume.”

 

Alma, 38 

Oranges Brulee

 

“I love the scent since it's citrus but with I hint of baby powder. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it and I would've liked a stronger citrus scent but I love using it. It lasts longer than my other perfumes and doesn't give me the dizzying feeling when the scent hits my nose. It's very affordable!”

 

Meryl, 38

Peaches & Tropics

 

“This scent smells very floral and yet fresh at the same time. It's not overpowering nor is it too faint. I love that this make me feel so feminine. I find that this lasts very well on me. I don't re-apply throughout the day but when I come home, it still lingers on me faintly.”

 

Maria, 27

Citrus Zest & Neroli

 

“A light spritz that stays for about half the day. Great for layering with other heavier scents, with a nice clean smell…”
