Have too much fun this summer? Got a little pink in the sun, -well, ok red? Maybe spend too much time in the pool? Good times make good memories but now you’ve caught yourself starring too long into the mirror at those splotches and dry patches on your face and wondering what to do now.
Thinking back now maybe getting that sexy summer glow wasn’t really the best thing for your skin. And the “after sun” gels with Aloe Vera just didn’t live up to their promise, did they?
Wild Natural Beauty’s Vibrance Facial Cleanser may be just what you need. Vibrance Facial Cleanser is a hydrating and replenishing cleanser for dry and damaged skin. Featuring Roobios, it’s loaded with Super Anti-Oxidants to attack free radicals and their damaging effects on your skin. Our cleanser is soothing and nourishing for your skin and will leave it soft, smooth and clean.
Vibrance Facial Cleanser uses a combination of fats and oils to work as cleaning agents on your skin and skips the typical surfacants used in other products. The result: your skin is left hydrated not dry and irritated.
How does this work? Isn’t oil a bad thing on your face? Yes and no. Oil that is produced from your skin is called sebum and it acts as a defense for your skin. Then there are oils that can be used to clean, like olive oil. This oil has been a standing tradition among many Mediterranean beauties for many, many generations.
Oils and fats are complex triglycerides with different fatty acids. All fatty acids are lipophilic and hydrophilic. Lipophilic will attract oil and hydrophilic will attract water.
They work together; the hydrophilic molecules use the water to reach a wider surface to clean and absorb into your skin which leads the lipophilic molecules into more areas to drawn oil and dirt away from and out of your skin to clean it.
Dry and damaged skin need some extra TLC and Wild Natural Beauty’s Vibrance Facial Cleanser is the perfect way to pamper your skin and to show it off too.

Build A Good Defense
As summer winds down to a close one’s attention is pulled away from sun and play and back to work and school. Fall will bring cooler days and more time indoors. Not that this is a bad thing but autumn is also a time for colds. With people spending more time indoors together germs and viruses are easily spread. There are easy ways to keep a simple sniffle from turning into a
full-blown cold.
Most are familiar items, like Vitamin C, which is a natural antihistamine, in addition to boosting one’s immunity. Others immune boosters are Vitamin D, garlic and honey. Echinacea can be taken as a preventative and treatment.
Feeling that first tickle in your throat? Some Zinc combined with Vitamin C should stop it in its tracks and Echinacea with garlic is also extremely effective cold fighter.
Protecting your body internally is just half the battle. Here are some tips for keeping the external threats at bay. Everyone knows to wash your hands, even if you don’t – you should because it really does work. Hand sanitizers are convenient options but like washing your hands it can easily dry them out. You can make your own hand sanitizer by using your favorite lotion and mixing in some Tea Tree essential oil or Grapefruit Seed Extract (about 2% should be enough). Do this and your hands remain clean but also moisturized.
Tea Tree, Sweet Orange (any citrus oil), Pine or Oregano essential oils can be mixes with water and used as a mild cleanser to keep your desk at work clean (or any surface). The scent is a plus for your and other office mates and its better than often toxic cleansers available at the grocery store. To make a natural cleaner mix about 20 drops to 8 ounces of water in spray bottle.
Make it simple for yourself and it’s easy to keep up and continue. Here’s wishing you good health this season.
Got a question? Or a suggestion for discussion? Send us an email at contact@wildnaturalbeauty.com. We’re always happy to hear from you.

Small Steps
I was sitting on my patio the other day enjoying the work my husband has done with the many, many plants that decorate the area when it struck me. They are still green. Now, we live in Texas and it is HOT and currently, we are suffering under an unrelenting drought. Even though our area is not under mandatory water restrictions there are still brown areas and the grass is brittle. But the plants around our patio are still green and leafy.
We can’t move these plants inside to protect them from the scorching heat during the day. All we can do is provide shade for the plants that need it and water them. I found myself admiring how tough and resilient these plants are. Even our grass will come back too, next spring, but it’ll come back.
With just a little care nature can survive. It's the same for our bodies too. It doesn’t take much to keep a body working as it should. Rest when you are tired. Drink plenty of water. And eat good food.
Nowadays, the trend is green, organic, healthy, and natural, which can be time consuming and overwhelming. Too, many people reject this trend because they believe they have to go all in to get any benefit out it. Sure, they try and struggle, get tempted by the old ways of fast food and soft drinks, sweet smelling shampoo and hair products and other conveniences and stray. After indulging in the non-green and healthy lifestyle some may feel guilty, defeated and give up believing they just don’t have the discipline, time or money to continue a healthier way of living.
Lies. All of it. The human body is an amazing feat of engineering and its stronger than people often believe. It’s amazingly resilient and it’s recuperative powers are quite respectable. Your body can endure a lot of abuse but once you start to treat it better it responds. The great thing is that it doesn’t take a lot of pampering to get your body in a healthy state of being again. If your body has a chance to take of itself it will, but you have to give it that chance.
Rest. When your body is tired, it will look for energy. Some studies have shown that those who don’t get enough sleep tend to overeat during the day. That’s your body’s attempt at getting the energy it needs to work. Unfortunately, when we overeat, we tend to eat poorly. Sugar snacks for a quick boost rather than a piece of fruit is usually method to refuel.
Food. Good food. Grab a piece of fruit for a snack instead of a candy bar. Eat a salad with the fast food dinner. You may find when your body is properly fed it runs better. You have more energy. Making small changes will keep you on a healthy path without feeling deprived.
Water. Dehydration is probably the most underrated threat to one’s health. Water supplies your entire body with moisture. Lack of water affects your hair and skin and body functions. Drinking water flushes away toxins from your body and it also quells hunger. Did you know that most of the time when you feel hungry your body is looking for water? If you are not a big water drinker, your body won’t immediately utilize thirst as an option to get what it needs. Water can be obtained through food and so your body may make you feel hungry just to get the water it needs.
When your body is not fighting to survive the barrage of processed foods, exhaustion, and dehydration it has energy to get healthy, repairing damage as it was designed to do. Some small changes in your everyday living can have a big effect on the rest of your life.
