Just to recap.....by age 35 your collagen levels and hyaluronic acid levels are starting to drop. By age 60 pretty much gone. Hence wrinkles and sagging skin. I have decided to find natural products to help boost my levels on the inside as well as use the highest quality skin care I know...Real Raw Beauty on the outside. Hyaluronic acid is needed to bind the collagen, (a fibrous protein that is found in our connective tissues) with elastin to give your skin that stretch and flexibility. Your body breaks down and recycles collagen and HA on a continuous basis. So if your body is not making it, you have to take it internally to give your skin that plumb hydrated moist youthful look. All of these products are great for any type of joint pain too. In this video I show the products I take. I mix the MSM, Liquid Silica and Hyaluronic acid together with the aerolatte in water. I mix the Collagen powder in my morning smoothies and hot tea. I have seen incredible results with this mixture. So as always I love to share what I am doing and works for me. Do your own research and see what you think!! I buy my products on Amazon.

1.The Pure Encapsulations MSM in the video is currently unavailable on Amazon 

   but this is a great source also which I have used - Bulk MSM -follow package

   directions. 

2. Liquid Silica-1 stopper full

3. Ingestible Hyaluronic Acid Powder-1/8-1/4 of a tsp

4. Bulletproof Collagen Protein-2 scoops in a smoothie. 1 tsp in morning coffee or hot tea.  The Collagen listed is vanilla flavored

An Absolute Must!!!-Areolatte

Mango Soft Serve is a great substitute for regular ice cream! Here is a recipe that I came across in the April/May Paleo Magazine, that I think all of you would love!

Ingredients:

3 cups Frozen Mango's-Or any other frozen fruit

1 can full-fat coconut milk

1 TBSP raw honey

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Place the frozen mango cubes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely chopped, (mango will look crumbly). Add coconut milk and process until the mixture is thick and smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. This process will take several minutes. When smooth, add the honey, cinnamon, and salt and pulse to combine. Serve immediately.  

Enjoy!!

Face Blasting is just as Amazing as body blasting. This is a short face blasting demonstration that I wanted to share because of the results I have gotten.  Bear with the audio at the beginning, it will improve. The sound of the video is much better on your iPhones. 

I use the face blaster on my face and neck 3 times a week. I heat up my face by sitting in   a hot bath and placing hot cloths to my face. Then I apply Real Raw Beauty Body oil to my face neck and chest. The video will instruct and show you how to blast your face. This will result in smoother, firmer, tighter skin. It will also minimize small lines and wrinkles and smooth them out. You can basically sculpt your face into a thinner, firmer version of yourself. It really is an Incredible tool. But I will warn you that after you place your order and pay you will wait for it to show up in your mailbox. I ordered and paid for mine in January, and received it at the end of April. But it was well worth the wait. 

If you have lines above your lips and crows feet, it will smooth them out. I didn't take a before picture, but I can see the change in the mirror everyday. I also use the face blaster for the inside of my thighs and my arms. It is the perfect size to use on those hard to get places like behind the tricep and under the arms where the skin tends to sag. "batwings"

I am an advocate for women finding natural ways preserve and take care of their skin and promote good cell regeneration and collagen growth without the use of chemicals and surgeries. I believe that adding this face blaster to a Real Raw Beauty skin care routine will do just that.

Until next time,

Because the Fascia Blaster has made such a dramatic difference in life and body, I wanted to share a short video on how I fascia blast my legs. I started using the body blaster in January 2017. Since I started, I have lost 13 lbs, 5 inches off my hips and 4 1/2 inches off my waist. I also attribute the weight loss to eating a very healthy plant based diet and exercise. But as far as the inches off of the waist and hips, that has come because of the fascia blasting. I fascia blast each section for 5 min. But as I say in the video, you have to heat up the muscles first. I explained how I do that in the video. Once your muscles are heated up, you apply oil to that area before you blast. (Of course, I believe the best oil you can use is our Radiant Body Oil.) Then you begin to blast away. You will need to contract and tighten the muscle area that you are blasting also. One thing that I didn't mention in the video is that you will bruise. When you see bruising that lets you know that you are getting blood to that area. The bruising will last for a little while and then eventually go away. I still get a few bruises here and there, but it is rare. After 4-5 months, the area you are blasting just turns red. There are a lot of videos on you tube that you can watch for the different body areas. Also, there is a community of people on Facebook that post a lot of before and after pictures. And they are very inspiring. 

The Fascia Blaster will help to remove cellulite and wrinkles. It will smooth out the skin and give your skin a very toned look. I also bought the face blaster, but like I said, I was on a waiting list and it took 4 months. It was worth the wait. The body blaster will come in about a week. I am now hearing that another tool Ashley Black offers is the nugget. The nugget helps dig out hard to get to cellulite dimples. So it is endless. But the products do work. And you have to do them more that once a week. I blast my legs and arms one day, then the next day I blast my abs and back. I just keep rotating and take 1 day off. I use the face blaster 3 days a week, because you have to use it every other day.

If you have any questions about the fascia blaster feel free to write me. I am more than happy to help and answer questions. You order the products from https://ashleyblackguru.com

Until next time, Jan

Our Chaga Mushroom Mask is an amazing tool to help improve the quality of your skin in a short amount of time.

The mask is full of antioxidants which fight free radicals, the main cause of fine lines and wrinkles. As you will see from the video, it improves circulation and exfoliates dead skin cells. It reduces oil secretion from sebaceous glands and inflammation. For anyone eczema or skin flare ups, it will help calm the skin. The results are immediate.

Here is a short demonstration of the before and after effects of our Chaga Mushroom Face Mask. I did this mask with 1/2 of an avocado. I put the avocado in my Nutribullet, but you could pulse it in a blender. That is much easier to me than smashing with a fork. I also added a teaspoon of water to it also. I took the avocado out of the Nutribullet and put it in a bowl and mixed 2 teaspoons of the Chaga Mushroom powder. If the consistency is too thick, add a little water. No two avocados are the same size. Then begin to apply the paste all over your face, just like in the video. I put it on my neck and de'collete'

It will take 15-20 minutes to dry depending on how thick you apply the paste. The easiest way to remove the mask is to shower. Otherwise, you will need a warm wet cloth to wipe it off as you rinse it. I used the avocado for moisture and hydration.

But you can use an egg white if you are looking for firmer, tighter skin. I think the easiest way to do that mixture is to buy Organic egg whites in a carton. Put 2 teaspoons of Chaga powder in a bowl and add the egg whites until you get the consistency you want. Apply to face, allow to dry for 15-20 and rinse off with warm water. You will probably need a warm wet cloth to help remove it all. The mask will leave your skin radiant and glowing!

Recap: 

1/2 avocado, blended and added to 2 teaspoons of powder for hydration and moisture-For firmer skin-2 teaspoons of powder in a bowl and add egg white till you get the consistency you need. (Make sure you don't add the whole egg)!! Apply to face-allow to dry-rinse and go!! You can also use honey or just water by itself. Feel free to email through the website with any questions!! Enjoy the Results!!

Until next time,

I was traveling with my husband this week and picked up a USA Today in the hotel lobby. In the Life section, the article on Celebrities wearing less and less makeup caught my eye and I wanted to share the article with my customers and blog readers. 

I too am one of those makeup minimalist. I choose not to apply makeup everyday. But if I do decide to put on some blush or eyeliner,  I am as conscious about my makeup as I am about my skin care and food. The makeup that I use is chemical, paraben, and mercury free, safe for the skin and not tested on animals.

Here are a few facts you may not know, that I read from the Tribune on The Harmful Effects of Makeup on your Skin.

"Lipsticks, kajal sticks and eye-shawdows, for example are known to contain lead, a carcinogen and neurotoxinn that can affect the nervous system adversely, leading to high blood pressure, allergies, behavioral abnormalities, and even decreased rates in fertility. Mercury and parabens-a chemical preservative used in many cosmetics-are some other hazardous substances common to beauty products. They are known to trigger the growth of cancer cells in the body."

This is only one paragraph out of a whole article on the hazards of makeup. I believe that It is definitely time for all of us to wake up and pay attention to what goes on our skin and in our body. The days of sticking our heads in the sand is really over. Do your research.  Care about your body and make conscious healthy choices for it.  There is so much information out there on the this subject. It is actually overwhelming how many chemicals and toxins we "CHOOSE" to put on our skin.

This is why Real Raw Beauty products are made from the highest quality unrefined, organic oils we can possible find. Our products are more than just skincare, they are healthcare! You will be proud of the results you receive from our Organic skincare. Allowing you to go makeup free if you so choose. 

Our plan in the very near future is to offer a line of cosmetics on our website that aligns with our skincare. Cosmetics that contain high quality, chemical free ingredients and no animal testing. Beautiful colors and textures to use on beautiful skin. We will keep you posted on when they will be available.

At Real Raw Beauty we call this Conscious Living!  

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the USA Today article. Click on the link below and enjoy.
