As we etch further into the month of April, there is no denying that spring has arrived. Green hillsides are blossoming with color; the snow on the San Gorgonio Mountains slowly begins to fade. With the blooming of all flora across the Mojave, it is a good time to recognize the native plants that can be used beneficially in beauty. Here are a few of the plants used in desert skincare.
At Mojave Desert Skin Shield, we are a wellness brand rooted in the ancient traditions of Ayurveda. Dating back at least 3,000 years, Ayurveda is a traditional Indian holistic system of medicine for the mind, body and being.
Skincare is often thought of as a topical, external-only realm, full of products to cleanse and moisturize from the outside in. However, diet also has a significant effect on how skin looks and feels. Here are a few foods worth adding for glowing, luminous, healthy skin.
As teenagers, we were often told that oils are the nemesis of clear, healthy skin, clogging the pores and causing the formation of acne. To combat this, many of us used strong skin care products that contained compounds such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, with the intent to thoroughly dry out the skin.
As we edge into the holiday season, there is no denying that the shift towards winter is right around the corner. No matter where you are, the change in winds, temperature, and humidity can drastically affect skin health.
Living in any harsh climate can take a toll on the skin. The Mojave Desert has an incredibly high UV index almost year round, making it difficult to achieve that healthy and hydrated glow more easily gained elsewhere.
In the world of wellness, maintaining proper hair care is just as important as skincare. There are many products on the market boasting that they are the solution to healthy, luscious locks.
The world continues to spin madly on, and in times like these it can be difficult to balance health and wellness with financial constraints. The wellness industry often promotes mindful life upgrades alongside costly remedies that can seem out of touch.
In a wellness world that is ever-expanding, it is easy to grow fatigued from the seemingly endless slew of terminology, ingredients, and keywords to keep track of. While the scientific terms and regulated standards may seem daunting, the increased transparency of skincare products can be celebrated when paired with enhanced consumer literacy.
In an ever-changing society, language must follow suit. It is a guideline to the way that we understand the world, adapting and expanding to reflect our current reality. The wellness industry is not exempt from this phenomenon; an ever-changing field requires ever-evolving language as well.
