The winter is coming and your skin may be dreading it.  Low temperatures and dry air rob your skin of its moisture leaving you with flaky, itchy skin. Here are some tips on how to keep your skin looking great during the winter:

Turn down the temperature in the shower
Hot water washes your skin’s natural oils away and leaves you with dry skin even after a shower. If you can’t bear to turn down the temperature then keep your showers short during the winter. (tip: if the water makes your skin red, then it’s too hot)

Moisturize the 5 key spots
Your face, hands, feet, elbows and lips are the most vulnerable areas on your body and it comes to drying out. Invest in a good hand cream that you can keep in your purse to use after washing your hands. Also, don’t forget about your lips that tend to chap during the winter. Your face and hands are the most exposed areas to the cold so treat them well!

Use the right soap
Make sure your soap contains glycerin. Good quality soaps contain glycerin that is a great natural moisturizer. You will notice a big difference with olive oil soap, known for leaving your skin well hydrated and healthy looking. (All BIOselect soaps contain glycerin)

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate
You can moisturize all you want but unless you exfoliate you are not doing it well. Try to use a good face and body scrub every couple of weeks. By removing dead skin cells, you allow your moisturizer to better penetrate and hydrate your skin.


Hydrate & eat well
It’s true that you are what you eat. Make sure to drink the appropriate amount of water every day. Also, by eating healthy foods like fruit and veg
etables will help your skin get the nutrients it needs to look its best. You may also want to consider taking fish oil supplements as it has been suggested that omega-3 fish oil pills may help drying skin.

Our bottles are BPA-free!

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Our last campaign got a great response and we received a lot of questions about the bottle. I just wanted to clarify that our bottles are made with recycled plastic #2, which is BPA-free. Our mission is to bring you the healthiest possible products while respecting the environment.
Please do not ever hesitate to ask any questions or send me your feedback on our activities and products! I love to hear from you, our customer.

Thank you,

Did you know that...

  • Americans use an estimated 28 billion plastic water bottles every year

  • Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil --enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year --are used to make plastic water bottles, while transporting these bottles burns even more oil

  • Only 24% of plastic bottles are recycled into other products. The rest 76% end up in landfills or the ocean, where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. Meanwhile, the plastic bottles are producing a toxic chemical called phthalate that is absorbed by the soil

  • One gallon of bottled water costs the same as 10,000 gallons of tap water (when you account for the production process)

  • Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60-watt ligt bulb for 6 hours

  • Two gallons of water are used in the purification process for every gallon that goes into bottles

  • And if you thought bottled water is safer...

  • Tap water is actually held to more stringent quality standards than bottled water, and some brands of bottled water are just tap water in disguise

  • Join the effort and use re-usable water bottle! BIOselect is offering you a FREE re-usable water bottle with your next purchase. Take it with you to work, the gym, in the car or the airplane. You can refill it at any water fountain and it won't cost you a dime :)
