Dermatologist Agree on the
5 Essential Steps to Healthy Skin

Here are your “Top-Of-The-List” skin care steps.
If you do them, the years will pile on a lot slower:

Cleanse

Dermatologists stress the importance of cleaning your skin with a Gentle Pure Soap. The majority of soaps that you find on your supermarket shelves are not soap at all. They are actually detergents containing animal fats, petroleum products (irritating to people with sensitive skin), esters (known carcinogens), alcohols (which dry your skin), low grade oils, waxes and fillers. Your body sees those chemicals as toxins. In addition they contain skin irritating synthetic fragrances, colorants, foaming agents and preservatives (allergens).
Dermatologists agree that such harsh surfactants (detergents) toxins and allergens are largely responsible for their patients' skin damage. Such toxins and allergens can actually damage skin's lipid bi-layer. In fact, dryness, imperfections and tears in the skin's surface, all result from harsh surfactants and is the second leading cause of acute skin damage after sun exposure.
Our Natural Handmade Soap is actually “soap” in its truest form containing no harsh surfactants (detergents) or synthetics (allergens).

Exfoliate

Daily exfoliation is important for everyone, but for acne and blemish sufferers, it is absolutely critical for reducing outbreaks and scarring.
Skin's top layer (the epidermis) renews itself every month or so, constantly sloughing off the dead skin cells and replacing them with new cells rising from underneath. This process, which keeps skin looking fresh and young, slows down with age; regular exfoliation helps compensate by speeding up cell turnover to soften fine lines, wrinkles and to brighten dull skin.
All of our soaps are infused with natures finest botanical exfoliants to perform this important task.
Dermatologists suggest that, in addition to daily exfoliation, many of their patience would also benefit from a weekly Microdermabrasion Treatment.
If you are interested in Home Microdermabrasion you may want to take a look at our DermaSPA Microdermabrasion Cloths. Our cloths will scrub away dead skin cells and prepares your skin to absorb the special emollients, vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that are in each creamy bar of our Enchanted Waters Soaps. The result is skin that feels soft, smooth, and looks healthier.

It is unanimous — Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize.

If your skin is constantly exposed to wind, heat, cold, pollution or sun (and who's isn't) you need to moisturize it daily. Moisturizing your skin helps prevent premature wrinkles and fine lines. By simply changing from a commercial soap to our “Cold Processed” Soap you will see a vast improvement in your skin's health. Our Soaps re-hydrate and renew your skin's natural radiance no matter what condition your skin is in. They will return your skin's natural healthy glow. Your skin will also feel smoother and silkier and look younger.
The benefits of natural botanical moisturizers are that your skin is nourished with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and humectants. Our soaps contain herbal extracts such as aloe vera, green tea, and chamomile (to name only a few). Most importantly they are Rich in Glycerin, a natural by-product of the soap making process. It is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to the skin. This fact makes it a very prized and valuable emollient but is extracted from commercial soaps during manufacture to be used in their more profitable moisturizing lotions and creams leaving the hard, drying bars of soap sold commercially.
Our natural handmade soaps retain all of the glycerin in each and every bar. In addition, our soaps contain many other rich emollients such as Shea Butter (the Goliath among skin-friendly substances), hemp seed oil and jojoba oil. These emollients soften and soothe the skin by coating it slightly to retain moisture while the Glycerin actually attracts moisture from the air. The result; Enchanted Waters Soaps are extremely moisturizing.

Nourish

Nourish your skin from the outside in — that's the best way to keep wrinkles at bay!

If you are intent on keeping your skin looking young for as long as possible, you need to nourish it. Key nutrients and vitamins help prevent and reverse many of the signs of aging caused by sun exposure, pollution, and dryness.
BUT: They are effective only when applied directly to your skin's surface.
Why not take them by mouth? It turns out that no matter how balanced your diet, there's no guarantee the anti-aging benefits will actually reach your skin — they may be preoccupied elsewhere in the body. As Mary Lupo, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University in New Orleans explains; “The needs of our internal organs, especially those of the cardiovascular system, most likely trump the skin's.” Applied topically, however, these nutrients can penetrate the top layer of skin so their benefits can be directed toward the complexion.
Most of these nutrients and vitamins act as antioxidants, protecting the skin from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that wreak havoc on healthy cells and are the source of much of the damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. But that's only the start. From improving skin texture and tone to reducing sunspots and under-eye circles, “there is scientific data that shows specific anti-aging benefits of each of the topically applied vitamins,” says Lupo, who published a review of topical vitamins in “Clinics in Dermatology”. Enchanted Waters soaps bathe your skin in these important natural vitamins and antioxidants.

Protect

Dermatologists agree, protecting your skin against UV radiation and free-radicals from sun exposure is the number one way to prevent future skin damage and aging.
Our soaps all contain Natural Moisturizers, Sunscreen and free-radical-fighting Antioxidants. Vitamin E is renowned for its skin protective properties and is why it is a Key ingredient in our soaps.
Following is from the November 2004 issue of “Natural Health Magazine”:
“VITAMIN E”
WHAT IT DOES: Prevents oxidative damage, inflammation, and dryness.
HOW IT WORKS: Vitamin E has earned the moniker “the protector” due to its potent ability to guard cells from free-radical damage and to inhibit inflammation. Research conducted over the past 20 years has documented this vitamin's antioxidant abilities. In one study, it reduced by nearly half the number of free radicals created after exposure to cigarette smoke. Other research has shown that when vitamin E is used before sun exposure, there is less redness and swelling, less destruction of lipids, and fewer sunburned cells. Further investigations have found that vitamin E's anti-inflammatory action can kick in to reduce damage after sun exposure. Also, because it's an oily material, vitamin E prevents moisture loss that leads to dryness and ”
The Vitamin E in Enchanted Waters Soaps immediately protects your skin from damage. The benefits are that the skin looks more relaxed, less fatigued and takes on a luminous youthful appearance.
“Look for a product that's more emollient, such as one with vitamin E - even if your skin is dry or oily,” says Tabasum Mir, M.D., a skin-care specialist based in New York City.

“Well, I’m back for more. My husband just told me we are down to the last bar. This is the same guy that told me I was crazy to spend more than a dollar on a bar of soap. But, since making that remark, your soap has caused his dermatitis to nearly disappear and his elbows no longer feel like sandpaper. He won’t admit it, but he’s also hooked on scent.” — Tammy K., Surrey, British Columbia

The Miracle of
African Shea Butter

All of our soaps are “Cold Crafted”
from raw organic African Shea Butter.

Shea Butter, from the edible nut fruit of the African Karite tree, is a natural healing product. It is used by most of the cosmetics laboratories in Europe and the United States. It is revered as an extremely effective skin moisturizer because of its high content of non-saponifiable fats (including keratin, allantoin and vitamin E) indispensable for moisturizing and retaining the elasticity of the skin.

Shea butter helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation. It has restructuring effects on the epidermis. It speeds the healing of small wounds, skin cracks and crevices, skin ulcers and retards skin aging.

Dry skin, blemishes, skin discoloration, scars, wrinkles, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, sun burn, and burns are all helped by natural shea butter. It has an anti-elastase characteristic (elastase breaks down the elastin fibrils in the skin) which makes it a good active ingredient against stretch marks.

Other benefits and uses of Shea Butter include: a relaxer for stiff muscles, as an aid for pain from sprains, swelling, rheumatism and arthritis, and even as a sun screen.

It is used to ease colds because it decongests nasal mucous tissues. It is very well tolerated by the skin for it does not normally trigger any allergic reaction and can even be used on very sensitive skin areas such as mucous tissues and around the eyes. It even helps prevent allergenic reactions from other products.

And Shea Butter is just ONE of the many Miraculous natural ingredients in our soaps.

“For years I have had a handmade soap fetish. I have tried many brands and, without a doubt, yours are the best.” — Lilly F., Savanna, Georgia

Our Soaps are Aromatherapeutic.
Infused with Pure Essential Oils and Natural Botanicals.

What is Aromatherapy and Essential Oils?
For centuries, many cultures have used exotic aromas ceremoniously. Recently, it has been discovered that aromas play a significant role in our overall health.
Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils to improve the body's physical and emotional health and beauty. Essential oils are known as the "life force" of plants. They are highly concentrated, volatile oils extracted from herbs, flowers, leaves, resin, bark, fruit rinds and roots.
When inhaled, the brain (limbic system) channels the effects of the oils throughout the body, balancing your body's systems. Essential oils are also absorbed by the skin and carried throughout the body via the circulatory system to reach internal organs.
If you have never experienced aromatherapy and essential oils, you are in for a life altering treat.

Importance of a Soap Dish!

Handmade soap contains all its natural glycerin. Because it has no harsh chemicals and other preservatives, handmade soap is not as hard as mass-produced bars which has had the glycerin removed. However, natural soap can last just as long as commercial soap if you remember not to let the bar sit in water for long periods. To prevent the soap from dissolving quickly, a good soap dish is important. Use wooden ones with grooves or slots at the base, to allow excess water to drain from the bar. If you don’t use a dish, at least try standing the soap on edge after use, so the least amount of surface is in contact with any puddles.

Our unfinished Natural Wood Soap Dish is designed to help your Enchanted Waters soaps last and last.
