Bioelements Skin Care - Body Care FAQ's

A: The stinging you feel is due to minor irritation caused by shaving. You have removed several of the top protective cell layers from your skin with the razor. Here’s two suggestions for you that can help: 1. Consider having your legs waxed at a salon rather than shaving. Waxing lasts a lot longer than shaving (up to a month or more). 2.Try using a gentle product for shaving your legs. (Bioelements Moisture Positive Cleanser works great – it won’t strip the natural oils on your skin). Then, after shaving, apply Bioelements Extremely Emollient Body Creme to your legs. It’s got natural citrus aromatherapy oils to smooth and nourish your skin. And always be sure to use a fresh blade when you shave. Older, dull razors can cause even more irritation.

Q: My skin always seems to be dry. Help!

A: Often, weather conditions or activities can affect your skin. But you can combat dry skin by following these simple steps: 1. Drink plenty of water. This is a good idea for your skin’s health no matter what the weather is like, but it can especially help in the colder months. 2. Gently exfoliate your skin twice a week [try using Bioelements Cactus Cloth]. 3. Moisturize every day! It’s best to apply lotion on still-damp skin because it helps to retain moisture [try Bioelements Extremely Emollient after you shower].

Q: How can I get rid of the brown spots on my hands?

A: Called solar lentigines, those unsightly brown spots that appear on the hands, arms, chest and face are the cumulative result of sun exposure. And even if you never intentially tanned your skin, intermittant day-in day-out exposure is enough to cause the problem. The solution is Bioelements Pigment Discourager with 2% hydroquinone. Ask your esthetician for specific instructions on how to use Pigment Discourager, and follow her directions if you want to see results.

Q: What's the best way to get a natural, even looking self-tan?

A: Try blending your self tanner with a body moisturizer. Blend a 50/50 mix of Bioelements Serious Self-Tanner and Bioelements Extremely Emollient Body Creme. The result? A healthy-looking natural glow you'll love. And this method also makes touch-ups easier and less noticeable!

Q: How do aromatherapy oils work?

A: The essential oils found in Bioelements Aromatherapy Oils are fragrant and concentrated substances that are extracted from plants. These complex mixtures contain a wide variety of organic compounds, and these natural substances work in harmony with the systems of the body. Bioelements makes two Aromatherapy Oils for the bath: Yin, to relax the body and mind while softening the skin; and Yang, to revitalize the body and mind while also softening the skin.

Q: Now that I've got a great self-tan, how can I show it off?

A: Give your self-tan a shimmery, luminous glow with Bioelements Gold Mine. It contains emollient-rich jojoba, avocado and almond oils and natural minerals - so it helps keep skin smooth as it shimmers!
