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 are Shampoo Bars?

What is a Shampoo Bar.....soap for your hair?

Most people are not sure about the idea of a shampoo bar.   When explained, however,  the "light bulb" goes on and many of these customers have become faithful shampoo bar converts.

First off, our shampoo bars are made with the finest all natural vegetable oils and butters. Unlike commercial liquid shampoo, our shampoo bars are free of synthetic colorants, preservatives, and petroleum by products. Our shampoo bars are also scented with the pure aromatherapy of natural plant derived essential oils -  no synthetic fragrances are used here.  They are 100% all natural hair care for beautiful hair.

Keep in mind that our shampoo bars are suitable for vegans (free of animal by-products).  It is also good to know that all of our products are only tested on our enthusiastic family and friends. Our shampoo bars are also great for the environment... there are no bottles to recycle or throw away.  

Many of our customers find that these bars also make great "Head to Toe" bars and also work equally well for use as a facial and /or body soap.  For those who often travel, our bars successfully pass through the security check in your carry on luggage.  Outdoorsmen and campers alike also love to take our shampoo bars with them on their excursions.  They are easy to pack and are biodegradable!

Our shampoo bars are long lasting and will replace your 18 oz. size of commercial shampoo.  As with all of our artisan soap, remember to keep your shampoo bars away from the spray of direct water.  It is important to keep your bar "high and dry" between uses on a well-drained soap dish. Soggy soap will not last as long as well-drained soap!

I love the body and shine I get from using our shampoo bars! I have fine, limp hair and I have found that with the use of our shampoo bars, my hair is fuller and more manageable.   I have also totally discontinued the use or the need for all the "extra" products I use to put on my hair to get it to behave!  

While I have made the step to all natural skin care, I realized that my hair care routine needed to follow in that same direction.  I love my new natural hair care routine.  I challenge you to try our all natural hair care by trying our shampoo bars!  You'll love the results!
