Five Tips for Healthy Skin

Many of you know that our skin is our body's largest organ and does absorb near 70% of what we put on it topically.  Our skin is also our body's largest organ of elimination.  To look and feel our best we all should make the little extra effort it takes to nourish and take care of our skin!

  Here are five simple tips for healthier skin.

1.) Water keeps our body hydrated and our cells nourished and able to effectively eliminate waste.  For most adults 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water every day is what our bodies require to work efficiently.

2.) Fiber keeps our digestive systems working well.  Many health care specialists believe that an unhealthy digestive system will adversely effect the healthiness of our skin.  So increase your intake of whole grains, cauliflower, ground flaxseed, and don't forget your apple every day!

3.) Improve your sluggish circulation by moving more!  Get off your chair and try to walk 100 minutes each week, or fifteen minutes per day for starters.  Your skin's health will improve with the new increased circulation!

4.) Avoid excessive sugar intake!  Sugar prematurely ages our entire body.  Start of slow and choose to slowly cut back in this area.

5.) Increase your intake of good fats such as flaxseed or walnut oils, or fish oil often found in cold water fish like salmon.  Good fats are great for healthy skin.

All natural skin care products are also a great step in the right direction for taking care of our skin.  Try Siena Soap Company's all natural skin care products, you will be glad you did!

What Makes Artisan Soap Different?

Welcome to the wonderful world of soap making. If you’ve not tried artisan soap you are in for an unexpected surprise and a pampering treat. If you have indulged in this basic and affordable luxury, you have “Experienced the Difference” and realize there is no turning back.

What Makes Artisan Soap Different?

Individual small business owners (such as Siena Soap Company) who fashion and create all natural soap are in a unique position to make better soap than companies that are in mass-production. Large companies who mass-produce soap are concerned first and most importantly with profit. Synthetic ingredients are easier to get, cheaper, stable, and much better for the bottom line. If corporate America does incorporate organic nutrients, the percentages are often insignificant and only used for their eye-catching appeal on the label.

Reading labels (if the ingredients are actually listed) often reveal the highly synthetic nature of most mass-produced body-care products. We as consumers need to begin reading the labels of what we are putting on our bodies because our skin readily absorbs these products. Most of us have begun to read labels for the food we serve our family. Exploring and understanding the ingredients in our body care products is an equally important task.

It is exciting to understand then, that soap makers who make their products one small batch at a time are able to balance frugality and the use of quality ingredients. Artisan soap makers are meeting and exceeding the family skin-care needs better than large industry can.
