Indulge Yourself!

Indulge your skin with healing plants and minerals!

1. Draw a warm bath adding a Dancing Dingo Aromatic Massage Oil to the running water. Use Rosemary & Lavender oil to relax, Geranium & Orange to stimulate your senses, or Ginger & Juniper for deep, warming relaxation. Listen to a favorite CD, light a softly scented candle, and soak your cares away.

2. When thoroughly relaxed and out of the tub, add a few drops of Massage Oil to damp skin and smooth on for added aromatherapy benefits and soft skin.

3. Pull your hair back with a headband while you concentrate next on your face.

4. Splash face with warm water and pat dry.

5. Apply a facial mask specifically formulated for your skin’s needs. A wonderful idea is to use a nourishing scrub, such as Dancing Dingo's Bamboo & Green Tea Scrub, leaving a layer on your face for ten to twenty minutes then rinse off thoroughly.  While waiting listen to music, read a magazine, or just close your eyes and relax.

6. Wash lightly with Botanical Face Wash, then apply skin-rescuing toner and a nourishing moisturizer designed for your skin type. Dancing Dingo has several hydrating toners and wonderfully replenishing moisturizers to compliment your skin type.

7. Apply a moisturizing cream to your hands, and gently push back cuticles (never cut your cuticles). Dingo’s Shea Butter Hand Cream, lightly scented with pure essential oil, is perfect for the job!

8. Apply an extremely moisturizing cream to your feet, and slip into a pair of cozy socks. Dingo’s Shea Butter Rich Foot Cream provides your feet with protective moisture and healing essential oils.

9. When you’re ready for bed, spray your pillows with French Lavender & Chamomile Linen Mist to relieve stress and induce sleep.

10. Dream wonderful dreams!

Yes, Oily Skin Does Need Moisturizer! Read Why

Even if your skin feels like an oil slick, it's a bad idea to skip this essential step in your skincare regime. Here's why:

1. Many over the counter products used to prevent breakouts contain ingredients that dry your skin (benzoyl peroxide for example).  The dryer your skin becomes, the more oil it naturally produces. Moisturizer helps balance your skin and slow its natural tendency to produce more oil.

2. Moisturizers provide a barrier keeping in skin-softening hydration, and keeping out harmful bacteria, that can lead to breakouts and infections.  

3. You probably have dry spots elsewhere on your face; oily T-zone and normal to dry skin elsewhere. Not to many people have completely oily complexions. 

The right moisture for oily skin will be one that is light and specifically formulated for your oily skin type.  Look for one that is oil-free/water based to eliminate shine. A moisturizer with natural salicylic acid will help keep the pores clear to help prevent future breakouts.  Salicylic acid penetrates pores to exfoliate and help remove breakouts & blackheads while tightening pores.  A great ingredient for smoother and softer skin!

A wonderful option for oily-prone skin is Dancing Dingo’s Botanical Oil-Free Moisturizer formulated with natural Salicylic acid, Aloe and calming botanicals.  Botanical Oil-Free Moisturizer soothes irritated skin, hydrates and absorbs completely without added oils.  It’s a natural choice!

Why Is Facial Exfoliation So Important?

Your skin continually produces new skin cells at its lower layer, the dermis. The dermis then sends these new cells to the surface layer, the epidermis. Eventually these cells die and become filled with keratin, performing the very important function of protecting our skin from a variety of environmental stressors. Eventually these cells are sloughed away making way for younger cells.

Yet as we age this process slows creating issues for our skin; the cells collect and build disproportionately across the skin’s surface giving us a dry, dull and uneven look. Exfoliation is an important skin care step to remove the old cells, allowing your skin to reveal younger, brighter new cells underneath. Skin appears fresh, dewy, and clean. Exfoliation also allows products, such as serums and moisturizers, to better penetrate the skin and do their job.

What you should know when it comes to exfoliation:

• Never over exfoliate the delicate skin of your face. This may cause drying, redness and irritation.
• Always read the instructions on the product, or talk to a good esthetician about the frequency that is best for your skin.
• Never, ever, use a body scrub on your face. They can be harsh and abrasive, unsuitable for the delicate skin of your face.

Summary:

• As we age exfoliation becomes an important part of our skincare regime to maintain a glowing, radiant look.
• Use exfoliants gently, never rubbing to hard or tugging on skin. A light, circular motion with fingertips is best.
• Do not use an exfoliant more often than recommended, if skin becomes dry, red or irritated.

• Apply your favorite facial serum and moisture after exfoliating, allowing for maximum penetration into the skin.

Dancing Dingo offers Bamboo and Green Tea Scrub for facial skincare. The gentle scrub effectively removes the dull surface cells while protecting and moisturizing your skin. It is a good choice for mature as well as for problematic skin. Bamboo powder is naturally rich in silica, an essential element known for its re-mineralizing (cartilage), anti-acne, anti-wrinkles and anti-cellulite activity. Green Tea extract soothes and protects with powerful anti-oxidants.
