Our sense of smell tends to decrease gradually as we age, so it’s important to keep our noses working properly. After all, the nose contains a whopping 10 million cells that are wired directly to the brain, sending it constant signals. Your nose helps humidify and cleanse the air you’re breathing, and it allows you [...]

What Is Exfoliation, and Why Do We Need It?

Ted — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:14:05 +0000

The word “exfoliation” sounds a lot more clinical and technical than it really is. It simply means removing the top layer of your skin—which is made up of mostly dead skin cells—to reveal the live, healthy cells underneath. That dead-cell layer, full of cells that have been dead for about a month (ick!), is blocking [...]

When you’re feeling stressed after a hectic day, the last thing you want to worry about is whether the remedy you’ve chosen to de-stress your mind will cause undue stress to your skin.

Take Care of the Lips That Take Care of You

Ted — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:18:29 +0000

Lips. We use them when we eat. They’re essential when we smile. We couldn’t speak very well without them. And of course they come in pretty handy for kissing! Of all our body parts, our lips are often the most neglected, and this can make them look and feel dried out and unhealthy. We smooth [...]

It makes perfect sense that folks who care about all-natural, Earth-friendly ingredients in the products they use would also be concerned about reducing, reusing, and recycling.

When Joshua Onysko founded Pangea Organics in Boulder, Colorado, in 2000, he had a lot of impressive goals for his new company—to make organic, handcrafted, nurturing products; to be kind to the Earth; to inspire others to reconsider their ways.

Argan Oil: What Do Goats Have to Do With It?

Ted — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:11:54 +0000

Let’s be honest: Argan trees are not the most beautiful plants to look at. These trees, which grow mostly in southwestern Morocco, are pretty thorny looking, with twisted, gnarled branches and trunks. But goats in the region love them; they deftly climb up to get closer to their lunch – the fruit and leaves. The [...]
