Pamper, soothe and beautify your eyes!

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul. Is that true? Absolutely!! We communicate so much with our eyes. They show our joy, our sadness and with just a slight movement they can show almost every other human emotion. So why do we sometimes neglect our most beautiful feature?

We read a really indepth article not too long ago about the importance of the skin around our eyes and how important it is to care for it. At Starflower, we of course, already know this, but it's good to remind ourselves and our customers about what is really happening to their skin. With so many "miracle" eye care products we felt that it was time to do a new post about our organic eye care products.

The organic plant oils and extracts in Starflower’s Bright Eyes regenerative eye products literally give your eyes a lift. Our Bright Eyes line really is the best eye products on the market to help reduce puffiness, anti-aging and dark circles.

We currently have three organic eye care products under our Bright Eyes line: Bright Eyes Petalets, Bright Eyes Regenerative Eye Gel and Bright Eyes Regenerative Eye Oil.

Organic Bright Eyes Petalets

Starflower's Organic Bright Eyes Petalets refresh the eyes with an herb soaked natural cotton pad over the eyes for night and morning use.

Herbal extracts of chamomile, eyebright and fennel bring soothing relief to puffy, swollen, red and itchy eyes due to fatigue, allergies, air pollution, computer radiation and other environmental irritants.

Special Uses: The petalets open the delicate skin around the eyes allowing the soothing and moisturizing qualities of the essential fatty acids to penetrate. 

Organic Bright Eyes Regenerative Eye Gel

Starflower Regenerative Eye Gel is a healing, refreshing gel for night time repair and day time protection that assures a firm and supple appearance around the eyes.

Bright Eyes Gel contains organic herbal extracts of eye bright and chamomile, organic aloe vera, royal jelly, organic borage, comfrey, black currant seed oil, regenerative essential oils such as chamomile, neroli, palma rosa, carrot and fennel.

This delicate formula absorbs so readily into the small skin around the eyes and because of it's toning and firming ingredients, will help relieve fluid retention under the eyes (puffiness). If you wear foundation or mineral powders around the eyes, Bright Eyes Gel blends well and is as a great base for a smooth flawless appearance.

Organic Bright Eyes Regenerative Eye Oil

 Bright Eyes Oil blends highly nutritive and absorbent essential fatty acid oils such as borage and black currant seed, calendula and comfrey, with anti-inflammatory essential oils to calm redness, smooth fine wrinkle lines, and give elasticity to the tender, fragile skin around your eyes.

If you wear a foundation or mineral powder make-up around your eyes, Bright Eyes Oil will definitely blend your make-up better so that you see less of your pores and more of your beautiful eyes.

5 Steps To Winter Skin Care from Starflower Essentials Organic Skin Care

A couple of weeks ago, we discussed the effects of winter weather on the skin. With temperatures now plummeting further and many areas already starting to get snow, we recommend starting your winter skin care regime to prevent dehydration.

At Starflower Essentials Organic Skin Care, we believe in 5 steps to organic beauty. We will go over the products that can be used along with how they are beneficial to your skin in the winter.

5 Steps to Winter Skincare

ChamMillet Exfoliant Cleanser

1. Exfoliate- Our three organic exfoliating cleansers offer a healthy, holistic alternative to hydroxy acids and are much more effective for long-term use. When activated with water, they offer a fresh delivery of almond milk and rare essential oils in a base of almond meal, millet flour and herbal powders. The result is deeply cleansed, nourished, smooth, glowing skin and refined pores! Exfoliants are a must for beautiful and healthy skin and ours can be left on to dry as a mask. They are designed for everyday use.  We offer three exfoliating cleansers: Rose Almond for normal, dry and mature skin. Chamomile for normal, dry, dehydrated, sensitive and inflamed skin. ChamoMillet for normal, oily, large pores and problematic skin.

Herbal Essential Steam

 

 

2. Steam- Starflower Essentials Herbal Essential Steam is a synergized blend of 17 organic herbs and flowers to deeply cleanse, nourish, tone and activate the skin's natural functions. Herbal Essential Steam purifies and opens pores in preparation for Starflower's facial masks.

Royal Rose Enzyme Mask

3. Mask- We have several organic face mask's available but for the winter season we recommend using our Royal Rose Enzyme Mask and our Flower & Sea Rejuvenating Face Mask. Our Royal Rose Enzyme Mask is a very special tonic for the body- inside and out. Whether you want a rose honey mask for collagen renewal or a taste bud extravaganza at tea time, you'll love the Royal Rose Mask. It's delicious and nutritious with premium ingredients such as raw, organic honey infused with the world's finest European, medicinal grade Bulgarian rose and fresh royal jelly. It is a hydrating mask for normal, dry, dehydrated, mature and sensitive skin. The Flower & Sea Rejuvenating Face Mask revitalizes with pure arctic seaweed and a special organic herbal synergy. Especially beneficial to lack-luster skin, large pores and acne while infusing the skin with moisture and vital anti-oxidants. It is a moisturizing mask for all skin conditions.

Starflower Essentials Organic SkinCare Nutrient Toner Mists

4. Tone- Starflower offers three choices for toning from our Nutrient Toner Mist collection and one should be chosen based on your skin type. Our Nutrient Toner Mists cleanse, tone and moisturize- essential to beautiful skin. Starflower toners hydrate and tone the skin, strengthen connective tissue and increase elasticity of the pores. Synergistically blended herbs and essential oils promote deep tissue regeneration. We currently have our Rose Gold Toner with a delightful rose scent for normal, dry, mature and sensitive skin. Our Royal Vera Toner has a light lavender scent and works well for normal, oily, problematic and combination skin types. Our Cool Citrus C-Weed Toner has a citrus neroli scent and is mineral rich for all skin conditions.

Nutrient Intensive Moisturizers

5. Moisturize- We offer a wide array of moisturizers that will work to prevent the damages that winter temperatures have on skin. Starflower Moisturizers are formulated for balancing and moisturizing every skin condition. They have sun-protection (SPF) properties and essential oils to stimulate the skin's natural functions. Herbal antioxidants and Vitamin E slow down oxygenation and free radical-induced deterioration of the skin's natural fatty acids. Our synergistic formulas encourage harmony and cell regeneration deep within the skin's layers. Rich emollient oils and waxes give extra protection to the surface layer of the skin. Colloidal silver and gold are added for anti fungal and antibacterial properties.

Our Nutrient Intensive Moisturizers are light and highly absorbent, our "aroma plant" moisturizers are available in five therapeutic scents for each skin preference. All Nutrient Intensive Moisturizers (NIMS) contain borage, almond, jojoba oils, aloe vera gel, mineral water complex, herbal extracts, rare essential oils and Vitamins C and E. The five that we offer are: Chamomile Rose for dry, sensitive, dehydrated, inflamed or sunburned skin, wrinkles and mature skin. Sandalwood for dry, sensitive, oily, chapped cracked skin, acne, scars, wrinkles and mature skin. Mandarin-Melissa for dry, oily combination, congested and dull skin, scars, slack tissue, spots and wrinkles. Lavender for balanced to oily, combination, congested and dull skin, acne, eczema, sunburned, irritated and inflamed skin. SeaFlower SPF 15 for daytime sun protection for all skin conditions. Lime-Orange for oily, congested and dull skin, acne and spots.

Our Facial Creme's also make for great moisturizers in the winter. Our face creams contains rich emollient oils and waxes that provide extra protection for the surface layer of the skin. Starflower's Facial Cremes contain a variety of herbs that are grown bio dynamically or wild crafted from high altitude fields in the rocky mountains of Colorado. This fact ensures a freshness and potency rarely experienced, even in organic skin care. We do, however, recommend that they are only used during the day and not during your night skin care routine. We have three facial cremes: Rose Gold a very special healing day cream, rich in antioxidant protection and vitalizing herbs from the Colorado Mountains. It is a super smoothing cream, ideal for traumatized skin in special need of repair and a blessing for burned skin with it's anti-scarring properties. It is ideal for normal, dry, sensitive, dehydrated and mature skin. Lavender Gold's highly absorbent emollient oils and regenerative herbs provide effective daily moisture protection while stimulating balance and tone for normal or dry skin which suffers occasional monthly breakouts. It is ideal for normal, dry and combination skin. Day Replenish is a non-clogging facial cream designed to give extra moisturizing barrier protection for extremely dry skin and/or dry weather conditions. Layering over a Nutrient Intensive Moisturizer or Skin Dance Moisturizer is recommended for the dry winter months.

SkinDance Face Moisturizer is a Starflower favorite. SkinDance is an essential and vital skin food within the Starflower Essentials Organic Skincare line. The naturally high content of essential fatty acids balance the skin and protect it from excessive sun as well as cold. It has a high content of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and provides SPF 8 protection. Synergistic essential oils stimulate balance within the skin's natural functions, especially the oil producing glands. SkinDance has a positive effect on all types of skin including oily, problem or dry, sensitive. It will tone the skin, reducing the size of the pores while increasing elasticity. Very useful to aging as a cell regenerative. At Starflower, we recommend using SkinDance while layering with a Nutrient Intensive Moisturizer or one of our Facial Cremes for the most protection during the winter months.
