1. SUNSHINE:  Healthy skin requires daily sunshine (at least 10-20 minutes), 

2. GET ENOUGH WATER. During  your waking hours, drink at least about 8oz of water every 3 hours. Also, sometimes all you need is water to wash your face. Don't overuse any products - even ours. Give your body lots of water - it is more important for the health of your organs (and your skin) than you probably realize.

3. CLEANLINESS and CLEAN PRODUCTS:  Keep the synthetics and harmful germs at bay. You do this when you wash your hands, keep your body and environment clean, and use truly natural products that don't contain any synthetic ingredients (like Alywillow). If you sweat, wash your body and your clothes as sweat can lead to fungus on the skin. We even have a formula (Fortify) that can kill the fungus that grows in your clothes. 

4. BE KIND TO YOURSELF: Be kind to yourself, to your skin, and to your life. Hurting your skin is not kind. Do not use too much when a little will work. Do not be too rough when gentle is best. Instead of rubbing your skin, learn to pat it. Instead of exfoliating or scrubbing your skin, learn to gently polish it. Imagine the kindness you wish others would show you, and start showing it to yourself. Love yourself a little more every day. 

5. NOURISH YOURSELF. Eat real, live foods and avoid processed foods. The plants you eat can restore your body through your digestion system. The plants in Alywillow products nourish your body through your skin. Once you start using Alywillow products you may notice an improvement in your skin and body very quickly. If your skin or body is badly damaged, scarred, wrinkled, blemished, or genuinely out of balance, then your results may be more gradual as nutrients are slowly replenished and your skin begins to normalize. Most people see positive results very quickly (in a few hours or days). The very worst skin situations may take up to 18 months to normalize, so be kind, gentle, and patient. You are worth it! If you have any questions, contact us for a FREE facial consultation so we can make sure you are getting the best things for your specific situation! 

6. BE PATIENT. You may have been suffering with an imbalance for years. When you start using Alywillow we look for gentle improvements that continue over time. If your skin is hypersensitive (meaning you normally have adverse reactions when using most anything), then do not overwhelm your skin with too many things at a time. Be kind to yourself by introducing only one new product each week until your skin adjusts. Furthermore, start with our Elemental Product. If you have rosacea, you are one of the most hyper-sensitive people! Please read this...Turn Rosecea into Healthy Skin.

7. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY: Have you ever used a product that irritated your skin, only to use it again and again and again. Please start listening to your body. Sometimes, your skin may prefer using a product only once a week instead of once a day, so learn to watch for the signals your skin gives you. Really listen to all the messages it is sending you. If you smell a product and don't like the smell - don't use it! You might be allergic to it. See, your sense of smell is a guidance system that tries to alert you to danger. Some people really LOVE our Phoenix Toner, and they use it every day. Others can only use it once a week and instead they prefer Harmony Toner for daily use. It is fine to use our products every day as long as your skin is happy. Everyone is different, so learn to pay attention to your skin and do what is best for you! You are uniquely special.

8. SAFETY - Remember, just because something is popular does not mean it is safe. For instance, don't drink undiluted Apple Cider Vinegar because it is too acidic on your digestive system. Avoid tea tree and all other plants with highly toxic properties because many plants are not good for your skin. Sign up for our Essential Oil Safety Seminar if you want to understand the dangers of Tea Tree and other essential oils. When you use Alywillow products, you don't have to worry about safety concerns because we have carefully measured every plant for just the right amount and then applied safety grade levels so you will know when and how much to use.  Our goal is to nourish and protect your skin - so it be becomes healthier and more beautiful! 

9. Furthermore, avoid acid washes and sugar scrubs. They can damage your skin and disturb your skin's pH levels which can cause many other problems.

10. LOVE YOUR DIFFERENCE, don't ignore them:  The amount of variety in our world is one of the things that makes it so beautiful, so embrace your differences! If your skin reacts negatively to any products, you are probably NOT detoxing. That is often a lie that skincare companies will tell you to dismiss your problem. More than likely you are allergic or at least sensitive to one of the ingredients. If you have an adverse reaction to Alywillow products,  please Review Our Ingredients and contact us if there is a plant you need to avoid. Once we identify the plant of concern, then we can help get a better plan for you and help you avoid that plant in the future. Some of our plants are obscure, and we want to help. Always contact us if you have concerns.
