interesting facts from asia part 2
Interesting facts from Asia - discover them with me. In Thailand , I was particularly enchanted by two famous buildings - the Grand Palace dripping with gold and the intricately decorated Wat Pho temple with its famous golden statue of the reclining Buddha. The reclining Buddha is (watch out!) 15 meters high and 46 meters long! It is difficult to encompass this figure with your eyes and the impressions are incredible. In Malaysia, on the other hand, I had the opportunity to visit the Batu Caves , the largest of which is 100 meters high! I climbed 272 steps to admire it. In the caves, there are, among other things, incredible and very realistic-looking figures of people with the heads of monkeys or crocodiles. Did you know that these caves were discovered a little over 100 years ago? Maybe during my travels around Asia I will also come across unexplored buildings and places? You certainly know that Asian deities often look menacing. I was very impressed by the figure of Lord Murugan , whose huge, golden figure I met for the first time also in Malaysia near the Batu Caves. You must know that as the son of the very warlike goddess Korravai, he was also identified with the god of war - Skanda. Murugan is armed with a spear and looks as if he is guarding the entrance to mysterious caves. He is almost 43 meters high and because he is the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in Malaysia (and the third largest in the world!) he definitely commands respect among tourists. During religious ceremonies, my special attention was drawn to the flower garlands offered to deities and also decorating altars. Plants are inextricably linked to religious worship and many of them are considered magical. Plants are also widely used in Ayurveda , or traditional medicine. If you are here, you know for sure that I built my Orientana natural cosmetics brand on these plants. In the recipes, I use Ayurvedic extracts, oils, extracts, fruits and herbs, which have a great effect on the skin and hair. Returning to flower garlands, I like the ones that use lotuses, marigolds, frangipani flowers, jasmine, ylang-ylang or oleander the most. Five types of sacred leaves, flowers, twigs and fruits are offered in temples during special rituals. Every time I have the opportunity to observe such ceremonies, my eyes absorb hundreds of shades, colors and shapes. I will tell you another interesting fact from Bali ! In many places I have come across small, colorful baskets made of palm leaves filled with flowers, rice, candies and incense. At first I did not know what their function was. It turned out that these beautiful gifts are prepared as an offering to the spirits and are to ensure their favor. In addition, women often place flowers and incense on trays for their deceased ancestors. Practically every place in Bali where local people live is full of such colorful accents.

ASIA senses? part 1.
Asia senses - part 1. I recently met with you live, where I talked about how you can perceive Asia through different senses. I received many messages from you asking me to expand my story , so I decided to describe my impressions right here - on our blog. Asia is a specific continent. When I visited different countries in this region of the world, I had the impression that my senses were sharpening. I enjoyed absorbing the colors, sounds, flavors and scents of colorful and aromatic Asia. I had the opportunity to visit many places on Earth, but it was Asian countries that enchanted me the most with their intensity of the impressions they provided. Have you ever wondered why Orientana cosmetics have multi-colored packaging ? It's our trademark! We pack natural ingredients obtained from Asian plants, oils, mushrooms and minerals in charming and colorful bottles, tubes and jars. Now I invite you on a short journey, where we will see the different colors of my beloved Asia. Did you know that up to 80% of information reaches our brain through the sense of sight ? In Asia, the abundance of juicy colors around us constantly surprises the eyes. The streets in Asian cities shimmer with colors. Even poor women living in slums wear fabulously colorful saris . An interesting fact is that a sari requires up to 5-6 meters of fabric, which is not sewn or fastened with safety pins - this is an illegal practice that makes this traditional outfit "unclean". Bright red saris decorated with metallic thread are one of the favorite patterns of brides. In western India, saris are finished with patterns referring to paintings in temples. Each region has its favorite patterns and colors, which are visible throughout the subcontinent. In addition to clothes , the stalls with exotic fruits, vegetables and spices also attract attention on Asian streets. You will find there sunny yellow mangoes, pineapples or bananas, intensely orange peaches, tangerines, papayas and turmeric, pink lychees or dragon fruits and purple mangosteens. Right next to them will be green amla fruits, prickly durians, coconuts, cherries, strawberries, watermelons or rambutans with skin in shades of yellow, red or pink and many other delicacies in all colors of the rainbow. Can you imagine that? Following the sense of sight, it is also worth paying attention to the architecture. While in Europe, subdued shades of buildings or temples and their simpler forms reign supreme, Asia definitely stands out with its richness of colors and variety of shapes. My attention was drawn to the Sikh temples called gurudwaras. The beautiful Golden Temple in Amritsar dates back to the late 16th century and is built of marble, copper, and gold. The connection between Hindu and Islamic architecture is clearly visible here. It was destroyed many times, but each time it was rebuilt even more beautiful. I was incredibly impressed by the fact that the dome of the temple, which weighs about 750 kg, was made of pure gold! If you have the opportunity to visit this place, take a look at the ceiling from the inside, which is richly decorated with gold and precious stones. You will not see such splendor as in Asian temples anywhere else in the world.

Vitamin A: The Secret of Youth and Healthy Skin! Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is gaining increasing recognition in the skin care industry, mainly due to its anti-aging and skin-improving properties. Retinol’s effects include wrinkle reduction, skin texture improvement, lightening discolorations, moisturizing, and fighting acne. How does retinol affect the skin? It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Thanks to this, retinol is able to reduce the visibility of wrinkles and expression lines, lighten discolorations, and normalize melanin production, which leads to an even skin tone. Are there any disadvantages of using retinol? Despite its many benefits, retinol can cause skin reactions, such as irritation, dryness, or flaking, especially when first starting out. That's why it's important to use it as directed and protect your skin from the sun. A modern form of retinol – RETINOL H10 With the modern ADVANCED SKIN LIFT UP SERUM REISHI I RETINOL H10 0.5%, the Orientana brand has introduced a modern form of retinol to the market – RETINOL H10, which is devoid of irritating properties typical of most retinoids. The hydrogenation process increases its stability, making it more resistant to oxidation, light and high temperature. RETINOL H10: Effects and Use RETINOL H10 is focused on stimulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, thanks to which the skin becomes soft, elastic and firm. It is recommended to gradually introduce this product into the daily care routine, monitoring the skin's reaction. Hydrogenated retinol makes the skin "pumped" with moisture like a sponge, thanks to which its firmness is visibly improved, and unevenness or wrinkles are smoothed out. To maintain this condition, it is also worth taking care of the skin barrier, which is responsible for the long-lasting effect and will make the results of RETINOL H10 last longer. In order to strengthen and rebuild the hydrolipid barrier, the above-mentioned serum will be perfectly complemented by the second novelty of the Orientana brand - ADVANCED SKIN REPAIR SERUM REISHI I CERAFLUID® 5% used on the day. The combined use of both cosmetics will contribute to spectacular care effects. Discover the power of retinol: The secret to youthful and healthy skin!

Is it worth using SPF every day?
Among consumers in Poland and throughout Europe, awareness of skin photoaging and why sun protection is so important is growing. There is no doubt that the most effective way to protect the skin from premature aging is to use sunscreen cosmetics. It is important to remember that the skin is exposed to the negative effects of UV radiation all year round - regardless of the weather or season. It is therefore worth reaching for cosmetics with high SPF values not only in the summer. Ideally, these will be natural cosmetics. For everyday use, a product with an SPF of at least 30 will be suitable, but it is worth paying attention to whether the cream also protects against UVA radiation. Of course, in the summer and generally on sunny days, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of our skin is much higher. Therefore, it is worth paying even more attention to protection at this time by using cosmetics with an SPF 50+ filter. Unfortunately, no cosmetic, even with the highest sun protection factor, protects the skin 100% - so you should follow a few additional rules: avoid exposure to full sun (usually around noon), avoid sunbathing, even by using sunscreen creams, wear protective clothing and headgear, Reapply sunscreen approximately every 2 hours when outdoors and after each time you come out of the water. The level of protection against UV radiation is directly dependent on the amount of product applied and whether it creates an even, uninterrupted film on the skin. According to the methodology adopted by the European Commission, the SPF value (specifies the level of protection against UVB) and PPD (specifies the level of protection against UVA) are measured by applying 2 mg of the product to 1 cm 2 of the proband's skin. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether we apply the right amount of the cosmetic to be sure that the product will protect the skin to the extent declared by its manufacturer. Reapplication of sunscreen creams is extremely important because over time, our facial expressions, the presence of sebum or sweat on it negatively affect the continuity of the protective sunscreen layer. Properly selected creams with UV filters are a proven and one of the most effective ways to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. By using such products before going out in the sun, you also minimize the risk of unpleasant irritations or even painful burns. Sun protection is also a way to limit the rapid aging process of the skin and reduce the risk of unsightly discolorations and wrinkles appearing on the skin. Check out our new natural face creams and body lotion with ultra-high SPF 50+ protection now!

Natural methods to get rid of blackheads
Natural methods to get rid of blackheads Blackheads can keep many of us awake at night. They usually appear in our teens and then they are with us all the time. Sometimes they are more visible, sometimes less, but many women find fighting them very troublesome. What are blackheads? Blackheads, also known as whiteheads, are light or dark lumps or dots visible mainly on the skin of the nose, forehead and chin. These are the ends of pores and hair follicles clogged by dirt, sebum and sweat. They are felt on the skin, causing it to have an uneven structure, be rough and unpleasant to the touch. Their improper removal can lead to permanent skin damage, infection and skin lesions that are difficult to heal. If we do not feel up to it and do not have the knowledge or patience, a good solution is to go to a professional beautician for help in removing blackheads. She will perform appropriate treatments that will cleanse the skin and instruct on further home care. However, with a little effort and the right routine, you can successfully deal with blackheads in your home bathroom. What cosmetics are good for blackheads? Regular use of natural face scrubs is essential in the fight against blackheads. The scrub should be adapted to the skin type - use a different cosmetic for oily skin, another for normal skin. For dry or sensitive skin, choose a natural enzymatic scrub . During application, focus on the area of the face where blackheads have accumulated and massage it with the scrub especially thoroughly. Natural cleansing masks, such as those with hotunia or Philippine algae, are a great choice for blackheads. In addition to refreshing the complexion, they also have a sebum-regulating function and can help narrow pores. It is also important that they moisturize the skin so it does not need to produce excess sebum. Ready-made clay masks also work well for clogged pores. Minerals help cleanse the skin, while oils nourish it. For blackheads, a mask with neem (for oily skin) and ginger (for combination skin) will work perfectly. Natural face creams can be a great alternative to typical drugstore products. Natural cosmetic recipes have been developed to minimize the risk of pore clogging. The basis of fighting blackheads is thorough and regular cleansing of the face. Every morning and evening it is worth using a natural oil to remove make-up . Do not be afraid that it will clog pores, because it will do the opposite! The oil penetrates the pores of the skin, combines with the sebum that accumulates there and when washing it off we remove it all from the face. After the oil, it is best to use an additional natural cosmetic for washing the face in combination with water. A good choice for any type of skin will be a foaming cleanser or a gel for washing the face . Home remedies for getting rid of blackheads In your home pantry you can find many ingredients that will work if you want to get rid of blackheads. STEAM CLEANSING – lean your face over a bowl of steaming water (carefully!), cover with a towel and allow the steam to open your pores; then you can remove blackheads manually or with a special spoon; remember to do it very carefully and gently, do not force anything! Finally, tone your face and apply a cleansing mask CLEANSING BLACKHEADS WITH SODA – make a paste of baking soda and water; apply it to the areas affected by blackheads, massage thoroughly and leave for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water LEMON AND HONEY MASK WITH ADDED SALT – mix the juice of half a lemon with a spoonful of honey and coarse salt; apply the mask to the area with blackheads; after a few minutes, massage in circular motions and leave for a few more minutes; wash off with warm water EGG PROTEIN ASTRINGENT MASK – separate the yolk from the white; gently beat the white with a fork and apply a thin layer to the skin with blackheads; when the white hardens, wash it off with warm water HOMEMADE OATMEAL PEELING – mix a spoonful of fine oatmeal with yogurt or cream; use as a regular peeling and wash off with water Improper methods for getting rid of blackheads Never remove a blackhead immediately upon seeing it! Avoid the temptation to simply squeeze a blackhead without prepping your skin. Also, don't use needles, tweezers, or sharp instruments to remove blackheads. You can irreversibly damage your skin and make the problem worse. Don't use the peel too often! Rubbing the skin with the peeling particles very hard or often will remove its protective layer, which is a direct path to increased sebum production and... more blackheads. Instead of peeling, you can use a sensationally cleansing mask with an Asian loofah . Remember to cleanse your face in the evening and morning. There are no exceptions to this rule. Keeping your skin clean and removing sweat, dirt and sebum daily will make your skin pores clean and blackheads will not re-appear. Moisturize your skin! Skin that does not have the right moisture will start to produce sebum on its own, which performs protective functions. A natural moisturizer that is well-matched to your skin type will help maintain skin balance and prevent blackheads from forming. Try excellent, light night essences that will work great after evening cleansing. Natural methods to get rid of blackheads Blackheads can keep many of us awake at night.

She will perform appropriate treatments that will cleanse the skin and instruct on further home care. However, with a little effort and the right routine, you can successfully deal with blackheads in your home bathroom. What cosmetics are good for blackheads? Regular use of natural face scrubs is essential in the fight against blackheads. The scrub should be adapted to the skin type - use a different cosmetic for oily skin, another for normal skin. For dry or sensitive skin, choose a natural enzymatic scrub . During application, focus on the area of the face where blackheads have accumulated and massage it with the scrub especially thoroughly. Natural cleansing masks, such as those with hotunia or Philippine algae, are a great choice for blackheads. In addition to refreshing the complexion, they also have a sebum-regulating function and can help narrow pores. It is also important that they moisturize the skin so it does not need to produce excess sebum. Ready-made clay masks also work well for clogged pores. Minerals help cleanse the skin, while oils nourish it. For blackheads, a mask with neem (for oily skin) and ginger (for combination skin) will work perfectly. Natural face creams can be a great alternative to typical drugstore products. Natural cosmetic recipes have been developed to minimize the risk of pore clogging. The basis of fighting blackheads is thorough and regular cleansing of the face. Every morning and evening it is worth using a natural oil to remove make-up . Do not be afraid that it will clog pores, because it will do the opposite! The oil penetrates the pores of the skin, combines with the sebum that accumulates there and when washing it off we remove it all from the face. After the oil, it is best to use an additional natural cosmetic for washing the face in combination with water. A good choice for any type of skin will be a foaming cleanser or a gel for washing the face . Home remedies for getting rid of blackheads In your home pantry you can find many ingredients that will work if you want to get rid of blackheads. STEAM CLEANSING – lean your face over a bowl of steaming water (carefully!), cover with a towel and allow the steam to open your pores; then you can remove blackheads manually or with a special spoon; remember to do it very carefully and gently, do not force anything! Finally, tone your face and apply a cleansing mask CLEANSING BLACKHEADS WITH SODA – make a paste of baking soda and water; apply it to the areas affected by blackheads, massage thoroughly and leave for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water LEMON AND HONEY MASK WITH ADDED SALT – mix the juice of half a lemon with a spoonful of honey and coarse salt; apply the mask to the area with blackheads; after a few minutes, massage in circular motions and leave for a few more minutes; wash off with warm water EGG PROTEIN ASTRINGENT MASK – separate the yolk from the white; gently beat the white with a fork and apply a thin layer to the skin with blackheads; when the white hardens, wash it off with warm water HOMEMADE OATMEAL PEELING – mix a spoonful of fine oatmeal with yogurt or cream; use as a regular peeling and wash off with water Improper methods for getting rid of blackheads Never remove a blackhead immediately upon seeing it! Avoid the temptation to simply squeeze a blackhead without prepping your skin. Also, don't use needles, tweezers, or sharp instruments to remove blackheads. You can irreversibly damage your skin and make the problem worse. Don't use the peel too often! Rubbing the skin with the peeling particles very hard or often will remove its protective layer, which is a direct path to increased sebum production and... more blackheads. Instead of peeling, you can use a sensationally cleansing mask with an Asian loofah . Remember to cleanse your face in the evening and morning. There are no exceptions to this rule. Keeping your skin clean and removing sweat, dirt and sebum daily will make your skin pores clean and blackheads will not re-appear. Moisturize your skin! Skin that does not have the right moisture will start to produce sebum on its own, which performs protective functions. A natural moisturizer that is well-matched to your skin type will help maintain skin balance and prevent blackheads from forming. Try excellent, light night essences that will work great after evening cleansing.

Beauty supplementation
Beauty supplementation In pharmacies, drugstores and even grocery stores you can find a lot of capsules, tablets, drinks that act as supplements. Do you reach for them to support your body? Today we will talk about what beauty supplementation is and you will find out if you really need ready-made supplements. What is supplementation? Supplementation is associated with taking ready-made vitamin and mineral preparations. But do you know what this word means? According to the Polish dictionary, "supplementation is supplementing the diet with essential vitamins and minerals". There is not a word in this definition about whether this process is to consist of taking capsules! Meanwhile, we have become accustomed to the fact that by supplementation we mean swallowing tablets. Today we will try to explain which groups of vitamins and minerals are particularly important for beauty and how to introduce their completely natural supplementation into your diet. Cellulite Supplementation Cellulite is unevenly distributed subcutaneous fat tissue or water, which is visible in the form of skin with the structure of an orange peel. It is mainly an aesthetic problem and does not harm health, but it can cause complexes. Cellulite affects most women and occurs in almost all of them. It is visible on the thighs, buttocks, upper arms or on the sides of the torso. Supporters of natural methods recommend a diet dominated by fresh fruit and vegetables, and a large amount of water to people who want to reduce cellulite. They also praise giving up stimulants such as tobacco, coffee or black tea, which in their opinion can cause this cellulite. However, will such a diet bring results? Scientists believe that estrogen, a female hormone that causes fat tissue to be stored under the skin's surface, may be responsible for cellulite. In postmenopausal women, fat is stored mainly in the upper half of the body, and when, as a result of aging, the skin becomes thinner, lumps and unevenness are simply more visible. This is also facilitated by excessive sunbathing, which causes the skin to lose elasticity. Visible cellulite is therefore a common and natural phenomenon. Studies do not confirm that it can be safely removed non-invasively with supplementation. Scientists and doctors recommend regular physical activity, swimming or massages, as well as a well-balanced and low-calorie diet based on natural products. If you are tempted to have a gua sha stone massage, Chinese cupping or even a simple home skin massage, be sure to try anti-cellulite oil . Its formula means that the fat tissue accumulated under the skin can be reduced and become less visible. Hair supplementation The condition of the scalp and hair used to be considered an indicator of the health of the body. However, with the development of the market for chemical hair dyes, styling agents and hair styling devices, it can be said that a completely healthy person can have hair in a terrible condition. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about damaged hair. Here, you can use oiling with natural hair oils . It is also worth switching to using natural cosmetics for care such as shampoos and conditioners. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, so with proper natural hair care, you can count on growing new, healthy, thick and strong hair. When dealing with oily hair, it is worth choosing a good natural shampoo with ingredients that will keep your hair fresh for longer . You can skip the conditioner and wash your hair with shampoo even every day. In terms of diet – try to eliminate excess sugar from your diet – this often helps eliminate oiliness of the scalp. Dry scalp and dandruff may indicate a zinc deficiency as well as unsaturated fatty acids. Natural supplementation of fatty acids involves introducing good quality vegetable oils, nuts and oily fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines) into the diet. The amount of zinc in the diet can be increased by regularly eating shellfish (especially oysters), pumpkin seeds and red meat. If you have noticed that your hair has lost its shine, you can easily fix it. Switch to natural care and natural hair dyeing , and also eat more products such as: carrot dark green leafy vegetables sweet potatoes dried apricots Excessive hair loss is a problem for many of us. Before taking preventive measures, it is worth checking whether the problem really exists. The average adult loses about 50-100 hairs a day. New hair grows underneath them. Check how much hair you lose daily and you will know whether you really need to start taking action to protect them. What supplements for hair loss? In addition to normal hair loss, hair loss can also occur as a result of pregnancy, shortly after childbirth, and various illnesses, such as: circulatory problems anemia thyroid disease chronic stress A doctor can help here, as well as natural supplementation by introducing foods rich in B vitamins, which are very important for hair health. Eat more whole grain bread, oily fish, yeast extracts and drinks, peas, eggs, natural yogurt and milk. A very effective natural cosmetic for hair loss is Ayurvedic therapy with Centella Asiatica. Nail supplementation Healthy nails are characterized by a hard, smooth, and pink surface. Curved and pale nails may indicate anemia or a lack of zinc. Nails with a bluish tint indicate that blood is not reaching the extremities and may herald circulatory diseases. In turn, striped, weak, and brittle nails may indicate a systemic disease of the body. In any case, if you feel concerned about the appearance of your nails, go to a dermatologist or a general practitioner, who will order appropriate tests. Nails are made of keratin and their normal growth in a week is about 1 mm. It may turn out that your diet does not provide the nutrients that nails need or that you provide too little of them. An important element that helps nails is iron. You can check its amount in the body by doing a blood count and consulting its results with a doctor. Iron in supplements is not easily absorbed and causes side effects, e.g. constipation, so if the doctor does not recommend artificial supplementation, you can introduce natural supplementation into your diet. Try to eat more green leafy vegetables, poultry, red meat and fish. Brittle nails and inflammation around them may indicate a lack of zinc. It is worth using natural supplements in the form of walnuts, lentils, peas, eggs, seafood and sea fish. Wide stripes along or across the nails may indicate zinc deficiency, while blackening of the nails may indicate its excess. Large amounts of natural selenium can be found in brewer's yeast, cereal grains, crustaceans and fish. If you want to additionally strengthen damaged nails, take care of their beautiful and healthy appearance and eliminate dry and peeling cuticles, also try the gel nail elixir . This is a unique conditioner, without added oils, which absorbs quickly and allows for achieving quick effects. Remember that if the condition of your skin, hair or nails does not improve after introducing natural supplementation, you should always seek help from a doctor.
