Asian beauty secrets are really no secret. Their beauty is intricately connected to the healthy lifestyles they lead. Their beauty is not just skin-deep. It goes deep down into the cells and the tissues. For a long time, Asian women have used
natural products to enhance their beauty. Here are some observations and tips to maintaining healthy skin.

1 . Hydration & Diet

A nutritious diet, along with 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, is recommended. It’s also recommended to include plenty of fruits and vegetables that are high in anti-oxidants. Also, carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli contain a lot of vitamin A which is essential for healthy skin. Drinking orange juice or eating strawberries can supply you with a lot of vitamin C, which helps build collagen. A lack of vitamin C can cause loss of skin strength and elasticity, bruising, and poor healing of cuts and other damage.

Also, many people in Asia in general do not consume as much junk food as the Western counterparts. Their food is always fresh, nothing out of a can or shrink wrap, and nothing processed. (Not always, but not nearly as much as in the Western diet).

2. Green tea

Many women in Asia drink Green Tea during the day or after meals. The antioxidant content alone is enough to make it a desirable ingredient for skincare. There are other reasons to look for Green Tea ingredients in skincare. Some consumers
simply want to avoid harmful chemicals and use natural plants to help improve their skin.

3 . Sauna / Massage

After a trip to Seoul, I realized how much of the daily culture revolves around going to the local Bathhouses aka “Jimjilbangs” similar to olden Roman days. Many women pay a daily visit through membership or spending $5-10 a visit and lounge around in multiple baths and steam rooms in the nude as if it looks like a cult in a medieval torture chamber.

The different whirlpools will have varying levels of temperature. The different dry sauna has different themes such as charcoal, amethyst, dry herbs, and other therapeutic plants/smells for improving the overall health. The steam sauna is very popular and is very good for the skin. The heat circulates the blood resulting in rosy cheeks and the heated steam smoothens out your imperfections such as scars/ blemishes.

Some baths will have services to scrub your entire body down and offer a quick mini massage. Great during the summer when you’ve walked in the heat and accumulated dirt :). I must say, never before have I seen so much dead skin come off the body. The ajumas laugh with delight as the grey matter rolls off your skin. Massages are a great way to circulate blood flow and release tension in the muscles. A mini facial massage will create a radiant glow on your face.

For some Korean women, this is a way of life, a social community where there is a sense of belonging for those who stay at home. Every visit, you feel like a dull coin going in and squeaky clean coming out.

Hi all,

I haven't written in awhile! Here are some interesting information:

Blemish Bundle product was composed so that it can solve problems of everday people with bad skin.  Bad skin can include many forms of acne, dermatitis, scars, blemishes, spots, dark circles, etc.

Bad skin results from many factors:  environment, hormones, dirt/oil, genetics, teenage, stress.  The Blemish Bundle will help you get in a regime so that you can clear your skin and prevent build up of dirt and oil.  The products that compose the BRTC Blemish Bundle include high premium grade botanicals that are known for therapeutic purposes in the Eastern medicine to heal wounds, acne, scars, dull skin.   BRTC has mixed the best of  all the ingredients to make the best solution for the most hyper sensitive skin. 

The Blemish Cleanser smells like your at a spa.  It lathers like an ordinary cleanser but you must wash it off.  The feeling you get when you wash it off is that it leaves a velvety feeling.  It leaves the skin with some moisture without drying/flaking.  It also has the special ingredients to clean deeply at the roots of your pores and cool down inflammed skin. 
 
The Blemish Toner is fantastic. I use it when I get mosquito bites or eczema or sun burn on my neck.  It has Portulaca Oleracea, a plant known to heal many skin problems.  It is great to tone the pores/skin while cooling the immflamed skin.  It leaves irritated skin back to an equilibrium point.

Blemish Serum is great for night time. It supplies moisture and has antibacterial properties to zap away the cooties on your skin.  Once a night is fine.  When skin is better, every other day is fine as well.

Blemish Recover Balm - is our signature BB Cream especially for oil control and troubled skin.  If the colour looks dark, remember to keep rubbing it in lightly in the skin, it will then mix.

Cheers
