While I am no medical expert, I am a licensed clinical aesthetician. And when it comes to natural and organic body care — including natural soaps created with the most enriching and helpful herbs and oils — I know what works and what doesn’t.

When concerns and questions come up about COVID-19 and ways we can protect ourselves, handwashing is one of our first lines of defense. According to the CDC and medical professionals, soap binds bacteria, dirt, oil and physically removes them. And that’s why I tell all my clients and customers about the benefits of using our all-natural Tea Tree Soap and Charcoal Soap.

Tea Tree Oil Soap

Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia. The leaves are crushed and pressed to extract the oil and then used to relieve a number of ailments.

One prominent benefit of tea tree oil is its incredible ability to cleanse the skin and possess properties of antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.  A study conducted by The University of Western Australia, involving the testing of several types of hand soaps, showed evidence that cleansers with Tea Tree oil increase their effectiveness against bacteria.

Combined with other powerful, all-natural ingredients, our Tea Tree Soap is not only a top-seller, it’s also one of the best hand and body soaps you can use during this difficult time.

Activated Charcoal Soap

Activated charcoal is created when natural materials like coconut husk or wood are burned.  Charcoal has multiple uses, including cleansing the skin of all dirt, bacteria, and impurities. But this natural element benefits us much more than any normal soap can. While normal hand soaps contain surfactants that clean only the top layer of our skin, soaps with activated charcoal cleanse much deeper. This happens through a process called adsorption, which allows the activated charcoal to penetrate deep into the skin pulling all germs and impurities to the surface, which can then be washed away. Our All-Natural Charcoal Soap works the same way, penetrating several layers of skin, pulling bacteria to the surface, and killing germs right where they are.

Rest assured

Although we are living in uncertain times, and probably still have lots of questions and concerns — and empty shelves — we can find some solace knowing there are things we can do to help protect ourselves against this gruesome virus. While people are stocking up on toilet paper, frozen meals, and lots of regular hand soaps, you have a secret weapon: ACT’s all-natural Tea Tree Soap and Charcoal Soap hand soaps. You can rest easy knowing you have found a soap that will truly wash from your skin any bacteria you come in contact with.

There are 4 benefits of using natural pumpkin in skincare products that can help us look younger and more vibrant.

1. Pumpkin contains fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which increase cell turnover, to brighten and smooth the skin.
2. Pumpkin contains antioxidant Vitamin A and Vitamin C to help soften and soothe the skin and boost collagen production to prevent the signs of aging.
3. Pumpkin contains beta-carotene which helps to reverse UV damage and improve skin texture. It protects the skin from radical damage which is responsible for causing wrinkles and even skin cancer.=
4. Pumpkin actually acts as a natural chemical peel over time and use.

A Caring Touch Skin Therapy owner and trained licensed clinical aesthetician, Rhonda McDaniel has created natural pumpkin soap, lotion, and body scrub. These products were specifically designed to help the maturing woman see her skin look younger and more vibrant with use over time. You see as we age, our cells can take anywhere from 45-90 days to renew, unlike when we were young and our cells renewed in two weeks! Using natural pumpkin soap and lotion reduces that time and helps us look more youthful over time.

To see the best results, Rhonda recommends using pumpkin soap every evening to wash your face, followed by moisturizing with pumpkin lotion. Your skincare regimen is best done in the evening before bed because our systems repair themselves while we sleep.  “This is when cells need nutrients the most, and when their anti-aging benefits have maximum impact.”

A Caring Touch Skin Therapy carries all-natural pumpkin soap made with real pumpkin puree as well as pumpkin lotion and pumpkin body scrub with pumpkin spice! The pumpkin body scrub is good for the whole body and is not recommended for the face. You can order the all-natural pumpkin skin products here. Typically your order will be delivered within 2 days of ordering or you can pick it up from CoWork Landing in Brandon.

We are also proud to have our products available for purchase at Creativity Unpinned in Wesley Chapel at The Shops at Wiregrass Mall.

This time of year we see pumpkin everywhere, from our coffee orders to displays at the stores. Now you know how good it is for your skin! Order today to start renewing your skin with our pumpkin skincare products.
