Why Use Natural Skincare?

There are many conventional products out on the market that produce effective skincare benefits, such as anti-agingand acne prevention. However, the majority of these products are composed of chemical ingredients. While the products can produce good short term effects for the look of skin, they often times contain things that slowly harm your skin and health as well. These include things such as alcohol and Parabens. Alcohol actually dries your skin out, whether you notice or not, and promotes more rapid skin aging.
Parabens were found in multiple studies to have connections with cancer growth. These are only two examples of the harmful ingredients that are commonly found in skincare. OLGA COLA Cosmetics products are all natural, vegan, and organic, so they are not made up of chemical formulations. If you use natural skincare, your skin and body will thank you later on.

Autumn Changes

In autumn, the temperatures change quickly, and the first sneezes begin to hit, along with coughs, colds, and typical autumnal ailments. Autumn is a wonderful season, rich in colors constantly changing, with its foliage and cooler temperatures, but it is also the season in which the body has to adapt to a new environment and metabolic rhythms, with a greater predisposition to cold. 

By adopting a more healthy and natural lifestyle, this will help our immune system to remain active, protecting us from illness. Nature is a great ally of the body, through all the precious gifts that nature offers us every day. 

Starting with the Mediterranean diet, rich in unsaturated fats such as extra virgin olive oil, vegetables and fruit (kiwi, citrus fruit) that help the immune system on a daily basis with their vitamins and minerals, can keep our body healthy.

Our advice is to always eat what nature offers us in the specific season, preferably organic and sustainable agriculture. It is also important to constantly practice physical activity, or in any case to walk at a fast pace for at least 40 minutes a day, outdoors if possible. In this way we can help our circulatory system to activate and maintain healthy and well-oxygenated tissue. Even the skin needs special attention during this period, because as the leaves fall from the trees, even our skin regenerates and is ready to face changes in the weather. 

Feeding the skin in a healthy and natural way, exactly how we do with our body, helps us to preserve the essential defensive barriers used to maintain healthy, radiant skin by avoiding redness, inflammation, and dryness caused by the colder seasons. Facial and body treatments that are gentle but effective, because of its richness in antioxidants, are ideal for this season, especially for children. 

Our famous Eudermic Face & Body Cream was created for children’s hypersensitive skin but is also excellent for adults. Our Antioxidant Face Cream can be used to give a real boost to the skin on the face and neck during these cold seasons. Nature and its natural products are the best allies for our body, as well as our skin!

This is why all OLGA COLA Cosmetics products are formulated with 100% certified organic, vegan, and green biotechnology, which do not harm people, the ecosystem, or the animals that live in it.

Starting Anti-Aging Products Early

Why should you start using anti-aging products early? Many younger women do not think that they need to start using anti-aging products until they have wrinkles, but this is not the case. Once you already have wrinkles, it is very difficult to reverse them. The best solution for wrinkles is to start a routine while you are younger and do not have them. Some good practices include staying out of the sun, wearing UV protective sunglasses when outdoors, and investing in a good anti-aging face cream. If you’re in need of a Face Cream, try OLGA COLA’s Antioxidant Face Cream!

Smog: The Enemy of the Skin

Air pollution and smog are some of the worst enemies that affect especially those who live in cities and urban areas. These can have intense effects on our skin. These effects can include drying of the skin, reddening, increase in spots, premature wrinkles, and dermatitis. Above all, the exposed portions of our skin during the cold seasons are especially affected.

Taking a few, vital precautions are enough to protect our biggest barrier; our skin. The smog and the fine powders present in the air obstruct the oxygenation and therefore the regeneration of the layers of our skin. It is for this reason that cleansing and the use of derma-cosmetic products without aggressive chemicals (such as petrolatum and paraffins) are the first step towards the care and protection of our skin.

OLGA COLA Cosmetics Antioxidant Intensive Face Cream counteracts skin aging, enhances elasticity, and brings brightness to dull and dehydrated skin. Let’s not forget that it has a high concentration of certified Bio Actives to guarantee efficacy, skin compatibility, and tolerability, because it is free of chemicals (or a derivation) that are harmful to the skin and the environment.

Infusion & Herbal Mon Amour

With the cooler temperatures, and the desire to stay warm, holding in your hands and sipping a cup of hot infusions or herbal tea is a must!
As a sort of ritual of autumn, teas and infusions are known for their beneficial properties and appreciated for their pleasant and delicate taste due to fruits or herbs, flowers, and roots; but also as an alternative to tea. Infusions are a great alternative, because they generally lack caffeine. In infusions, the active ingredients release many benefits.
Widely Used since ancient times, their healing properties aid for the well-being and balance of body and mind.
There are many types on the market: anti-stress, fat burning, anti-swelling, digestive, clear headaches, relaxing, energizing, and, among our favorites, detox teas made from organic extracts.
The most used flowers are camomile, linden, orange flowers, passionflower (useful to promote a natural rest thanks to the known calming properties), licorice, fennel and mint (stimulates digestion and relaxes the abdomen), lemon balm, verbena, dandelion, lemon grass, herbs with purifying properties, or even the ginger root for its recognized anti- inflammatory and energizing properties. But, be careful not to over-indulge because these herbs in excessive amounts can not only not give the desired benefits but also have various side effects. Make sure to take care of yourself on the inside and on the outside with vegan, organic, biotech skincare!  With all that being said, go enjoy a good hot bio herbal tea!

Natural Cleaning Remedies Cleaning Naturally

Each day we become more aware of the state of the environment, realizing the impact that we have on the Earth from our pollution. The toxic waste of aggressive chemical detergents that we use everyday at home: such as sprays, deodorants, and bleaches, contaminate the Earth, water, and sky, threatening out ecosystem.  

It is important to remember that our skin absorbs the substances that it comes into contact with. The chemical components of household hygiene products could impact our immune system, causing sensitization, allergies, and intolerances. 

In addition to these impacts, the cost of all household hygiene products make up a large portion of the overall household expenses. To use eco-sustainable alternatives, created by natural products, always present in the home, easy to find, and above all respectful to the environment, is a change thats impact should not be underestimated. 
One does not need many products to clean a house. Nature has given us ways to clean that are portentous and multi-purpose. 

Vinegar is a great example of this. Vinegar has anti-limescale properties that can be used to make sinks shine. 
This works well as a detergent because it easily eliminates oily residues and combats bad odors left by food, such as in the refrigerator.

Lemon, thanks to citric acid, is the most effective natural disinfectant.
This is why lemon is perfect for sanitizing kitchen objects or cleaning the oven. The citrus also works well as a bleaching agent for light colored clothes!

Sodium bicarbonate is a fundamental ingredient and has detergent, disinfectant, and deodorizing properties! Therefore, sodium bicarbonate is the perfect weapon to eliminate layers of dirt, wash away pesticides from fruits and vegetables, and used as a gentle yet effective natural exfoliant. 

Salt can be used to remove tea or coffee stains from cups, and can also be used to thoroughly clean bottles of oil or wine.
Olive Oil is extremely useful for removing glue residues or adhesives from wood, plastic, or leather. Olive oil can also be used instead of wax to restore vitality to wood that has worn down over time.
In short, it takes very little to respect the environment in our everyday life, including by simply using our organic, vegan skincare by OLGA COLA Cosmetics!
