Feminine Fresh Fiery Ylang Ylang

Feminine Fresh Ylang Ylang

Welcoming our feminine, fresh, fiery, flirty aroma and potent antibacterial ingredient: Ylang Ylang. 

Another week has come and gone and we are full of hope. Wendy Christina Premium Skincare has spent the last few weeks presenting potent, calming, and reviving ingredients and products with antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. Now waking from our meditative healing, we anticipate a passionate re-entry into the world with Ylang Ylang.

Feminine and fresh, Ylang Ylang is an essential oil that comes from the flower of a tropical tree. It has a renowned effect on the nervous system to release tension from anger, nervous depression, and anxiety. Inhaling it may reduce the heart rate and lower blood pressure. 

Due to its passionate and feminine aroma and warming sense of security, Ylang Ylang is generally classified as an aphrodisiac. This essential oil creates a seemingly paradoxical reaction in that it removes frustration and relaxes yet invigorates passion and a fiery persona. Ylang Ylang leaves you feeling beautiful, assertive, and ready again to take on the world.

In the skincare realm, Ylang Ylang balances and softens. Ideal for both dry and oily complexions, it balances the flow of sebum production. As it contains antibacterial properties, it also seals and protects against daily pollutants in the skin. 

Here are some of our favourite Ylang Ylang infused products:

A pure & potent serum, the Kakadu Plum & Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Serum contains concentrated anti-ageing ingredients to naturally draw vitamin C into the cells. Hyaluronic Acid rapidly hydrates for reduction of wrinkles providing a plumping effect. Ylang Ylang is part of both the aroma therapy and softening and balancing moisture in the skin. The high levels of kakadu plum increases hydration, smooths wrinkles, reduces pigmentation, and acts as a free radical scavenger. Kakadu plum contains the most concentrated form of natural vitamin C in the world. Due to being an active rather than passive (synthetic) vitamin C, it maintains its antioxidant capacity.

Currently available in 45ml & 100ml

The Anti-ageing Honey and Hyaluronic Acid Day and Night Cream is an active hydrating cream that is formulated to be light on the skin, absorb quickly, and contains no photosensitive ingredients. It contains high levels of active vitamin C from Kakadu plum, aloe vera, green tea, and pomegranate which act as scavengers of free radicals, reverse sun damage, and promotes collagen synthesis. The hyaluronic acid and honey hydrate and plump the skin and hydrate on the cellular level. Ylang Ylang lends its properties to soften and balance moisture in the skin. Macadamia oil adds conditioning while being light and easily absorbable. It also aids in the healing of the skin and does not clog pores.

How are you?

Have you stopped to ask yourself this?

We are so engaged in the world around us, our homes, families, kids, fur babies, jobs, the list goes on. Sometimes we forget to slow down and check in on what our own mind, body, and spirit hunger for. So today, right now, the Wendy Christina team inquires ‘How are you?’ because maybe you have not paused to ask yourself.

We ask because Wendy Christina Skincare endeavours to nurture individuals as well as the world. To elegantly and professionally seek restoration for the wholeness of all.  Our direct contribution involves the health of the body—specifically skincare. Indirectly, Wendy Christina affects climate by uncompromisingly remaining eco-friendly. We are passionate advocates for the protection of our animals who share this earth with us. As a result, our products are cruelty free and not tested on animals

Wendy Christina focuses on harnessing plants for their natural power and energy, replenishing the body. Therefore our skincare range concentrates on cell regeneration, collagen synthesis, and effective hydration. 

This week we look at more key essential oils for healthy and glowing skin: 

Citrus: Sweet Orange, Mandarin & Lime

Citrus: Sweet Orange, Mandarin & Lime are renowned for antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties. Our three essential oils of the hour are no exception. Sweet orange, mandarin, and lime share the property of being a relaxant for the nervous system. Consequently, these citrus essential oils bring a sense of security. All three are natural cleansers that remove toxins from the skin. Hence Sweet orange, mandarin, and lime stimulate the lymphatic system and fortify our outer layer from harmful bacteria.  

Lime and Mandarin is recommended for congested or oily skin types. Limes have the ability to counteract overproduction of sebum and mandarins soothe the skin. Sweet orange is used for dry, irritated, or acne prone skin. Sweet orange is considered to possess regenerative and soothing properties. Additionally, the regenerative property of sweet orange makes it ideal for ageing or rough skin.

Sweet Orange as a key ingredient

The Pink Himalayan Salt body scrub is a nutrient dense, hydrating, all around skin saviour. This body scrub contains such a cornucopia of nutrients that it had to make another appearance! Sweet orange – in conjunction with pink grapefruit and green coffee seed extract – aid the skin in the lymphatic cleansing process.

Currently available in 230ml & 500ml

Mandarin as a key ingredient

The Mandarin, Basil, Black pepper hand and body lotion is ideally used with the Pink Himalayan body scrub. It leaves a luscious and exotic impact on your skin. The inclusion of Mandarin specifically impacts the aromatherapy. Mandarin brings a calm and warmth to the senses while cleansing and acting as an anti-inflammatory in the skin.

Uplift your Senses with Pink Grapefruit

Uplift your Senses with Pink Grapefruit

During definitive times such as these, the Wendy Christina team is committed to choosing an uplifted and joyous spirit. We invite you to join us in this mindset. Importantly, we are dedicated to being united. We ask ourselves and others to clear the mind, embrace the stillness, and engage peace. Choose this time to regroup, refresh, rejuvenate, and revive your minds, hearts, and bodies. Meditate your whole being on whatever is true; honorable; just; pure; lovely; commendable. Anything worthy of praise. Because we focus on these truths, we act our truth.

So, as our cherished customers, we want to be united with you in this time with hands full and hearts grateful. Encouraged by nature, we utilise what she offers. Our daily dose of sunshine (with appropriate protection!) uplifts us. The blessing of a nearby ocean can wash away stress and bring us to life. Fresh breezes and brisk morning walks energise us for the day ahead. The earth provides health for us. This belief sparked our founder – Wendy Christina – to create from only the most potent and superlative quality ingredients her plant-based, planet-focused skin care range.

We are all in our world’s current circumstances together. As a result, together we can choose positivity, embrace nature’s healing. We can all become strengthened physically and spiritually. This week’s key ingredient helps us to choose focus and revival, rather than staleness and stagnation.

Uplift your senses with Pink Grapefruit

Pink grapefruit stimulates an uplifted and joyous spirit. Fresh and citrusy, pink grapefruit is a stimulant for the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for moving toxins and exhaustion out of our body. When our lymphatic system slows down, we retain toxins, loose energy, and put on weight. Known as a potent antibacterial, pink grapefruit is also an excellent skin tonic. Using products with pink grapefruit can aid in building a healthy protective barrier against bacteria and infection in the skin. We’ve highlighted a couple for this week:

Pink Grapefruit as a key ingredient

Perfect for reflecting, our Meditation Blend facial massage oil combines a signature mix of extracts with a base of jojoba oil. An aromatherapy blend of the pure essential oils intended to calm, relax, and de-stress the mind and emotions leaving you revived and uplifted feeling of well-being. Jojoba oil makes an ideal base for all skin types as it helps regulate oil buildup and is does not clog pores. Pink grapefruit plays a key role in the blend to even skin tone and infuse the senses with liveliness and joy. Optimum performance when combined with our Hyaluronic Acid and Roman Chamomile facial.

The Hyaluronic Acid with Roman Chamomile facial massage is all about hydration and plumping the skin.

Confessions of a Naturaholic: How to Feed your Health Addiction with Lemongrass

Confessions of a Naturaholic: How to Feed your Health Addiction with Lemongrass

A Naturaholic is a person with an addiction to all things relating to nature and natural products. Unlike most addictions, this is one addiction we CELEBRATE.

It’s more than an addiction. It is a passion that drives us to build up our bodies and our planet. In fact, a naturaholic is just someone who is returning to the purified ways of health and wellbeing before unnatural and harmful chemicals polluted us.

Maintaining a pure, natural way of life proves difficult sometimes. After all, synthetics, impurities, unfair trade, and unsustainable manufacturing were all introduced to be cheap and easy. But as Naturaholics we yearn for richness, purity, wholesome and goodness. The kind of substance that is beyond the product in our hands reaching to heal our world and its population with purpose.

At Wendy Christina Skincare, we desire to have your yearning for wellness satisfied with ease and grace. We seek to inform you about nature’s wholeness with utmost honesty. Our motivation is to provide a product that purpose is to bring goodness to you and our ecosystems. Wendy Christina is more than just skincare, it is a vision you can support to see the earth, our home, healed.

Our highlighted naturaholic secret ingredient for this week is:

Confessions of a Naturaholic: Lemongrass

Lemongrass possesses powerful antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties. Energising and uplifting, the aroma of lemongrass is conducive to clear thinking and concentration. Lemongrass’ antibacterial and antimicrobial properties make it an excellent disinfectant. Combine those properties with its reputation as the “connective tissue essential oil” and you have a holistic hero for our skincare products. Lemongrass leaves skin tightened and energised while also forming a protective barrier on the skin against microbial nasties.

Lemongrass as a key ingredient

Our refreshing Aloe Vera and White Willow Bark Exfoliant boasts a high anti-bacterial fighting ability leaving your skin fortified against harmful microbes. The white willow bark, jojoba beads, and kaolin clay remove dead skin cells, dirt, and oil build up. Aloe Vera contributes to hydration and a soothing effect making this a fantastic choice for skin prone to breaking out. Watermelon seed heals and repairs by restoring, nourishing, and balancing the oils in your skin. The experience concludes with lemongrass and pink grapefruit building a protective layer of antibacterial properties for your skin. This product protects skin so effectively that we recommend using it three times weekly in place of your cleanser during times of potentially extreme exposure to germs and microbes.
Currently available in 90ml & 500ml**

A product packed with nourishment and powerful antioxidants, the Pink Himalayan Salt Body Scrub overwhelmingly satisfies your skin. An all around experience begins with the pink Himalayan salts drawing out toxins in your body, replacing negative energy and exhaustion for revitalisation. The base of coconut oil deeply moisturises and promotes elasticity through vitamins and anti-oxidants. Green coffee seed specially contributes by working with lemongrass and pink grapefruit to boost circulation which can aid in the breakdown of cellulite and fatty deposits. This collaboration also stimulates the lymph system which is the body’s natural waste system: it is responsible for removing toxins that steal energy and slow the body’s functions down. Lemongrass on an individual level brings stimulation and refreshment. For bodies that are tired, drained, or need some super nature power, use three times weekly.

Nature the holistic healer Sun setting over a field of lavender

Nature the Holistic Healer

Lavender essential oil is a key ingredient in Wendy Christina Premium Skincare Products, gifted to us by Nature the Holistic Healer.

For decades society has sought after synthetic compounds proclaiming them as the futuristic solution for the world. We are now rediscovering everything we need has already been provided to us by our planet: through our ecosystems and our native plants. We only need to tap into these natural resources to access a potent and wholesome healer. This is the vision of our products: by harnessing nature’s gifts we bring healing to ourselves, our families, our homes, our animal friends and our world.

Due to recent times, it has become more apparent to me, to reach out to our audience and followers. Wendy Christina Skin Care aims to share the importance of living a more wholesome, natural and cruelty free lifestyle. Each week Wendy Christina Skincare will deliver to your inbox a blog post highlighting one ingredient used in our product range. We will share with you the plethora of benefits that these natural ingredients possess.

Our first series of blogs focus on the 100% pure essential oils. Most pure essential oils contain high anti-bacterial and anti-sceptic properties which can be of great use for you to use around the house and of course on your skin.

The holistic healer for this week is Lavender. A largely underrated plant that may even grow in your garden!

Lavender

When appropriately distilled into oil, true lavender yields many health properties. True and pure lavender essential oil can have a positive impact on your reproductive system, respiratory system, nervous system, skin and energy levels. The negative impacts? NONE. Lavender is non-toxic without irritant or sensitising properties.

We are all currently concerned with germs so chemical disinfectant and harsh cleansers are everywhere — and rightly so.  However, these chemicals can be tough on our skin. Lavender helps to soothe and calm the skin and the senses in a time of stress. Lavender is an antiseptic. It possesses powerful anti-microbial properties to fortify and protect the face against microbial nasties. Traditionally lavender has been used to treat colds, flus, throat infections, bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. Lavender encourages a calming effect to aid in breathing. Below we’ve highlighted some of our favourite products that contain only the highest quality lavender essential oil.
