Moringa Oil is a powerhouse ingredient that has endless uses for the skin. We have been loving learning more about Moringa Oil and how it can help our skin. This week in the blog, we are going to be taking you through the ins and outs of moringa oil, as well as how it works collaboratively in our Be Smooth All-In-One Balm with the help of Dr. Hadley King, a New York Based dermatologist who has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, Women’s Health, Refinery 29, and many other publications.

What is Moringa Oil?

Moringa Oil is an oil that is derived from the moringa plant and is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids. This nutrient dense plant has seeds that contain approximately 40% oil, which leaves behind a smooth texture on the skin with its emollient and hydrating qualities.

Moringa Oil Benefits

Moringa oil has several benefits, such as helping to support the skin barrier, helping condition the skin, helping with fine lines and wrinkles, and helping to even out skin tone. We reached out to award winning, New York based dermatologist Dr. Hadley King to see what she has to say about the versatile moringa oil. See what she said below:

“Moringa oil is 40% monounsaturated fatty acids, with 70% of that being oleic acid. This makes it great for supporting the skin barrier, which seals in hydration and protects us from environmental stressors. This means that it is a good moisturizer and beneficial for dry and sensitive skin. Moringa oil is also similar to the oil naturally produced by our skin, which means that it can help to balance all skin types without being greasy.”

Where Can I Find Moringa Oil?

Moringa oil is one of the standout ingredients in our Be Smooth All-in-One Balm. This balm helps to address signs of aging on the face, neck, décolleté and hands with hydrating essential oils, the powerful peptide matrixyl synthe’6, and the standout ingredient of moringa oil. Because moringa oil is so versatile, Be Smooth has the same effect.

What Are Some Benefits of Be Smooth All-in-One Balm?

Be Smooth helps to increase skin’s firmness and helps diminish the appearance of deep-set lines and wrinkles. The All-in-One Balm also helps smooth away dry patches on the skin and condition cuticles for all around softer, smoother-looking skin. Due to the formulation of Be Smooth, it can be used on other parts of the body besides just the face and hands. Be Smooth can be applied to rough patches on elbows and knees, calluses on heels, and dry skin on arms and legs.

Let’s Hear from Dr. King!

We love Be Smooth and all its different uses. Let’s see what board-certified dermatologist Dr. King says about the All-in-One Balm below:

“Aloette’s Be Smooth All-In-One Balm is a rich, hydrating and non-comedogenic balm that can be used to moisturize both face and body. It contains ingredients like glycerin, aloe leaf juice, triglycerides, linoleic acid, jojoba seed oil, moringa seed oil, sunflower seed oil, carrot seed oil and shea butter to hydrate the skin, support the skin barrier and lock in moisture.”

The holidays are right around the corner, which means that the weather is cooling down and many of us are needing to bundle up when going outside. This also means that skin tends to get *extra* dry due to the lack of moisture in the air and harsh winds and weather. In this blog, we are going to be going through skin care tips and tricks to help your skin stay hydrated and dewy looking all Fall/Winter long!

Invest in a Good Face Cream

A good face cream with good-for-your-skin ingredients will likely be your best friend during the cooler months! Something such as Maximum Moisture Complex will help intensely hydrate the face to quench thirsty, dehydrated skin while also helping to soften the look of lines and wrinkles. Having a go-to face cream will significantly help address any dry or cracked skin concerns due to the cooler, harsh weather.

Yes, You Still Need SPF!

Even though most of us are probably not lounging in the sun during the day anymore, you are likely still exposed to the sun! Help protect skin from potentially harmful UV rays, which can help to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Finding a moisturizer that also has SPF, such as Correction Code Daily Moisturizer SPF 25, is a perfect 2-in-1 for hydrated and protected skin! Correction Code helps to lock in hydration and enhance the skin’s natural moisture factor for softer, smoother-looking skin.

No Dry Lips Here!

Can we all agree that there is nothing worse than having dry, peeling lips—especially in the cooler months?! Having dry lips is not ideal, so ensuring that you have a good lip product with skin care ingredients to provide hydration is essential. Complete Contour Hydrating Lip Plumper helps soften, plump and smooth the look of lips thanks to the hydrating ingredients of Cocoa Butter, Raspberry Seed Oil and Acai Oil. This lip volumizer helps improve the appearance of dry, dehydrated lips by coating them in instant hydration for smoother-looking lips.

Get Into a Routine

It is important, especially in the cooler months, that we are getting into a skincare routine of putting on a hydrating body lotion every day/night. There is so much focus put on our faces and the skin we have on our face and neck, but that doesn’t mean we should forget about moisturizing the hands and body! We love Hand and Body Silk because it is made with soothing Aloeganic aloe vera and coconut oil to help keep skin softer.

Hydra-Cleanse

Sometimes, our skin changes along with the weather. Making sure your skincare routine is adapting to the cooler temperatures is important because it can help prevent skin from getting super dry. Hydra-Cleansing Emulsion Daily Face Wash (for normal to dry skin) moisturizes as it deep cleanses skin to help sustain the skin’s natural PH balance and helps to avoid over drying skin for a fresher, radiant-looking appearance.

Double the Cleanse, Double the Benefits!

If you wear makeup regularly and are wanting to avoid harsh makeup removers that may dry out skin, reach for a cleansing oil instead! One 2-in-1 cleanser we love is Essential Cleansing Oil because it doubles as a makeup remover and nighttime cleanser. This unique Oil helps to remove dirt, makeup and impurities for a refreshed, healthier-looking appearance. If you want to double cleanse with this product, we recommend first going in with Essential Cleansing Oil to help remove makeup and following with Hydra-Cleansing Emulsion for extra hydration.

Happy National Witch Hazel Day! Witch hazel has been around for centuries and has endless uses varying from cleaning to skincare and everything in between. This week in the blog, we have our favorite award-winning, New York Based Dermatologist Dr. Hadley King to explain how witch hazel works in skincare and why it should be incorporated into our routines.

What Is Witch hazel?

Let’s start with the basics. What is witch hazel and what does it do? Witch hazel is derived from a flowering plant called genus hamamelis and is made from the leaves and bark of the plant. We asked Dr. King about the ins and outs of witch hazel. See what she said about this versatile ingredient below:

“Witch hazel is a natural astringent, so it is often used to help remove excess sebum and temporarily decrease the appearance of pores. It also has antioxidant properties and can be soothing to the skin. Witch hazel can be drying to the skin if overused, so be cautious to not over-apply.”

Which Products From Aloette are Formulated with Witch hazel?

Since we learned what witch hazel is used for and what it does for the skin, lets learn about how witch hazel is incorporated into some of our skincare products. Dr Hadley King says to “look for formulations that combine witch hazel with ingredients that moisturize and support the skin barrier” so let’s look into some skincare products with this powerhouse ingredient.

• Florabright Advanced Brightening Serum

This Advanced Floral Brightening Serum helps to improve the look of uneven skin tone, fade the appearance of discoloration and help jumpstart a better-looking complexion with a powerful blend of Farm to Jar™ extracts. Florabright helps to rejuvenate the skin’s natural renewal properties for a more radiant and refreshed-looking complexion. See what Dr. King has to say about the ingredients in Florabright:

“This brightening serum contains tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a more stable and oil-soluble form of vitamin C.  Studies have suggested that the fatty acid component of THD ascorbate may allow better penetration into the skin. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, helps to gently exfoliates the skin, increasing the brightening effect. And witch hazel provides antioxidant properties.”

• Be Balanced Daily Refining Tonic

Be Balanced Daily Refining Tonic helps soothe problem-prone skin with vitamin B and salicylic acid, while lactic acid and witch hazel help remove pore-clogging impurities. Be Balanced also helps to gently soothe the skin with Aloeganic® aloe vera and peppermint oil. See why Dr. King thinks witch hazel is a beneficial ingredient in Be Balanced below:

“This gentle, skin-calming toner great for oily and combination skin. Salicylic acid and lactic acid gently exfoliate to help clear pores while witch hazel helps to soothe the skin.”

• Oil Control Toner Balancing Tonic for Oily Skin

Oil Control Toner is ideal for helping to cleanse oily, combination and acne-prone skin. As Aloeganic® aloe vera and oat amino acids help condition problem-prone skin and help reduce the signs of aging, witch hazel and rosemary extracts help to deep clean pores of excess oil and impurities. We love using Oil Control as a mild exfoliation to help give skin a shine-free finish. See what Dr. King says about how witch hazel works in Oil Control below.

“Witch hazel and rosemary extracts provide astringent properties in this oil control formulation while aloe, glycerin, castor oil and shea butter hydrate, moisturize and support the skin barrier.”

• Ageless Science System

Ageless Science is a two-step skincare system consisting of Ionic Energy Balance Mist and the Active Energy System. Ageless Science is formulated with age-defying ingredients to help promote an overall firmer, smoother-looking complexion. Formulated with a special nano technology that helps boost absorption, Ageless Science works to increase hydration, help reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and help visibly plump the look of skin with a combination of witch hazel, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and glycerin.
