They say that there is no shortcut towards that clear radiant skin we’re all after. It takes discipline and hard work, coupled with exercise, good diet, and V&M Naturals products (not sorry for the shameless plug). And if you’re reading this then you are one of us busy women who’ve had enough of the lengthy procession towards that. Little did you know that the secret towards this goal lies in just three easy steps.

You read that right; just three easy steps! This is perfect for women – and men -- who always have their hands full with work, minds busy thinking about the next thing to accomplish and feet towards that next big thing.

1. Cleanse

The first of this regimen is cleansing all the dirt that have entered you pores throughout your busy day, as well as any makeup residue. Shades of Shave is the best product for this step because not only does it clean your face, it also soothes any irritation and protects the skin from sun damage. In addition to this, it is infused with Sweet Orange, which improves circulation that would keep you feeling cool and calm after each wash.

2. Tone

After cleansing, make sure to use a toner that is best suited for your skin type. This will help in removing any more crud that hasn’t been washed off by your cleanser, as well as prepare your skin to receive all the benefits from all the succeeding products that you will use. An example of a good toner that is good for any skin type, just in case you are unsure of yours, is Rosewater + Aloe Soothing Toner. It has mild astringent properties that gently remove traces of dirt and residue, as it leaves the skin feeling cool and hydrated with regular use.

3. Moisturize

Lastly, a step that is as important as the first two but is often overlooked by many, is moisturizing. Cleansing and toning do remove dirt but they also strip away your skin of its natural oils. This is why it is necessary to replenish those lost essentials needed by the skin for its continuous protection. And what better moisturizer to use than Emu Oil, a natural oil with fatty acid that is closest to the human skin pH making it easier to repair any damage from within without clogging the pores. Truly, a miracle worker! 

There you go! The shortcut towards that healthy beautiful skin you’ve been dreaming to have. And with these products, you will surely be able to take care of your skin from the inside out.

Emu is the largest native bird of  Australia and the second largest in the world next to the ostrich. This flightless, soft-feathered, and brown friend can grow up to 2 meters (6.6 ft.) in height.

Although flightless, the oils we extract from this ancient specie is soaring high; benefiting nation after nation of its remarkable healing properties.

According to the Australian Aborigine culture, people have been enjoying the myriad of benefits of this oil for the past 40,000 years. It was first introduced to Europeans as a natural sunscreen and moisturizer. Today, this majestic bird provides a valuable oil for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.

The fatty acid profile found in emu fat is closest to the human skin pH, making it easier for the oil to penetrate our skin and treat even those with repugnant skin conditions. It is said to be a better healing agent than any other plant-based products.

How different is emu oil from other oils or plants?

Because of how close its profile is to our skin, it can penetrate all skin layers and do its work without clogging our pores. Even though it came from an animal fat, emu oil can enter our skin because it doesn’t contain phosphorus molecules (that our body refuses entry of) that are found in other animals.

Below is a short list of emu oil’s popular uses

Reduces inflammation and pain - The most popular benefit of emu oil is its ability to relieve inflammation. It acts as a therapeutic balm; treating skin conditions like skin asthma, allergies, insect bites, eczema, and psoriasis. It also diminishes aching stiff muscles and joints; making it a good medicament to arthritis.
