Description

There is nothing more effective for dry, thirsty and aging skin than the Astara Antioxidant Rich Moisturizer. It retains moisture in the skin up to 4 times greater than average and provides long-lasting environmental protection against skin damage with high levels of super antioxidants and other nutrients.

The Antioxidants offer natural UV protection against the most harmful rays. The rich silky consistency keeps skin soft and smooth and gives skin the radiant, youthful glow characteristic of an Astara complexion.

The aroma therapeutic benefits impart a feeling of 'centeredness'. This product is most recommended for dry, aging skin; for exposure to harsh, dry climates; for use as a night cream for normal-dry skins, or as an eye cream when applied generously around the eye area

   Usage

Very Dry to Dry and Aged or Weathered Skin: For best results, apply the Rich Moisturizer after applying the Activated Antioxidant Infusion over entire face, neck and backs of hands, morning and night. Use extra cream around eye area, especially at night.

Helpful Hints For Dry Skin: Avoid flannel pillowcases which absorb oils from skin and hair. Silk pillowcases are best. Drink plenty of water to hydrate tissues internally. Avoid coffee, alcohol and decongestants which can severely dehydrate skin and other tissues. (For every cup of coffee or alcohol, you need four glasses of water to replenish your system.) Use supplemental sources of essential fatty acids. Flaxseed, hemp seed, borage and evening primrose oils are best. Other vegetable oils such as olive and sesame are good. Cold water fish oils providing EPA may also be helpful for non-vegetarians.

Normal to Dry Skin: The Rich Moisturizer may be applied morning and night as for Very Dry to Dry Skin (see directions above), or use the Rich Moisturizer only at night over the ?Activated Antioxidant Infusion?. For day-time, apply either ?Activated Antioxidant Infusion' alone, or the Infusion under the 'Antioxidant Light Moisturizer' (see below), or use the 'Antioxidant Light Moisturizer' alone if you prefer.

Normal to Oily Skin: Use as an eye cream and for special use when in harsh climates. May also be used as a night cream for normal aging skin.

Harsh Climates: Apply cream on face and other exposed skin areas for protection. For day and/or night use.
