Welcome Fall, Welcome Autumn, Welcome Cool Weather! As Fall rolls around, I am reminded of how the seasons bring about so much change. Some get to see the leaves turn colors, the cool crisp air is a constant and the days are shorter. If you garden, you put your garden to bed, and you put in your fall bulbs. If you live in a warm weather climate location, you have milder changes but can still be reminded of this transition.

Some people tend to think that warm weather is the culprit of acne. When we sweat and our faces have dirt caked in with that sweat, it can clog up our pores. We don’t think about acne as a cold weather problem, but think again! We need to practice our cleansing routine daily, during the warm and cold months. Neglecting it can bring about more blemishes. During these cold months, we need to cleanse and moisturize, really moisturize!

Our 2 in 1 Face Cleanser is perfect for any skin type. It is very gentle without compromising its cleaning efficiency. Yosep’s 2 in 1 Face Cleanser has 5 active ingredients:

1. C13-15 Alkane: Powerful makeup cleaning properties, especially for makeup that is waterproof. Provides a soft and silky finish without an oily residue.

2. Babassu Oil Glycereth-8: Rich in lauric acid and one of the all time favorite skin care ingredients because it is perfect for all skin types.

3. Maris Sal: Salt derived from the Dead Sea of Jordan, rich in minerals that are essential for our skin. Stimulates cell growth and regeneration, acts as a firming agent and counters effects of free radicals in the skin.

4. Olive Oil Peg-7 Esters: Derived from the fatty acids of olive oil, it is known for its softness and dermatological compatibility. Excellent cleansing properties. Proven to reduce irritation in the skin.

5. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate: Natural fatty acid with foaming qualities that are less intense than similar ingredients used in skin care products. Provides antibacterial properties.

This 2 in 1 Face Cleanser is also an important part of your daily routine given that most of us are wearing face masks when we go out now. The pandemic has brought about changes and with the usage of face masks, we have seen an increase in skin problems. Here is a great article by the American Academy of Dermatology Association that walks you through the steps to keep your skin healthier while mask wearing. They also include tips on what to look at when using a mask to ensure you minimize problems. 

The ingredients in all of Yosep’s products are carefully curated to make sure you have everything you need and nothing that you don’t. One of the ampoules we want to present today, the Protective Ampoule, has only two active ingredients. You don’t need a million ingredients to achieve a positive result and this is what Yosep is all about. All the goodness of natural ingredients without nonessentials. Days 2 & 8 and days 3 & 9 of the Enchanted 15 Day Treatment use the Nutrient and Protective Ampoules.

Nutrient Ampoule (Days 2 & 8):

• Sodium Hyaluronate: Hydraulic acid is a polysaccharide, a natural component of the dermis, whose main function is to collect water, thus regulating the level of hydration and maintaining the skin structure.

• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Improves the elasticity of the skin. Increases moisture retention. Provides a silky smooth appearance to the skin and reduces irritation and cracking caused by soaps.

• Sodium PCA: Naturally moisturizes the epidermis, helping to provide softness and smoothness to dry, wrinkled or cracked skin.

• Biosaccharide Gum-1: Polysaccharide with a high content of fucose, galactose and galacturonic acid that provide powerful hydration even to the most sensitive skin. It has restructuring and anti-aging properties, since it increases cell longevity thanks to the stimulation of sirtuins-1.

Protective Ampoule (Days 3 & 9):

• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Provides smoothness and firmness to the skin. Improves the elasticity of the skin. Increases moisture retention and strengthens tissues. Provides a smooth and silky appearance to the skin.

• Albumin: Tensor effect and filmogenic capacity, which prevents transepidermal water loss.

The Nutrient Ampoule’s ingredients focus on hydration, moisture and moisture retention while the Protective Ampoule’s ingredients also focus on hydration and moisture retention. These ingredients, which focus on your body’s water intake, lead us into our Mindfulness idea for the week - Mindfulness Through Art! Here are two printable mindfulness coloring pages with images of waves. Get as creative as you want - water is not always blue - it is whatever color you mind and soul perceive it is right now. Remember to clear your mind and think of your body hydrating and being at peace while you work on your art. Click on the image to download a PDF.
