Many people don’t even look at the list, buying everything an influencer on Instagram recommended to them. This isn’t the best approach because some compounds can cause cancer in the long run.
Lab tests can’t predict long-term side effects and diseases.
The solution? Naturel organic cosmetics. Lots of brands produce organic skincare products for all skin types and conditions. Nature has given us everything needed for our healing. Why not use it?
First of all, let’s find out these harmful chemicals and stay away from products containing them.
Here are only five of many cancerogenic compounds found in everyday skincare products. Most of them are used not for the benefit of your skin but as preservatives and for better structure and feel. They do make products creamier and add other pleasant characteristics, but at what cost?
Stay away from the following:
This chemical and those related to it (MEA, TEA) are used to improve the texture of a product. They are used in mascara, eyeshadows, cleansers, and soaps. Over time, they are known to cause liver cancer (according to tests on mice).
As for formaldehyde, you aren’t likely to find it in skincare products. But some preservatives release it after some time. You can also find such chemicals in resins, cleaners, and more things that aren’t a part of your routine. The released chemical is known to be connected to many leukemia cases.
The most dangerous thing about these is that manufacturers don’t have to list PEGs as ingredients. Yet, you can find them in many skincare products. Most companies try to avoid them as much as possible, but the chemicals are created during the manufacturing process, and it’s difficult to control this process.
These two are synthetic substances used as preservatives so that products can last longer on shelves or in warehouses. They are known to cause allergies in small doses and can cause cancer in large doses.
Another type of preservatives and endocrine disruptors. The second fact has become widely known not so long ago. That’s why you can see “paraben-free” on many skincare products.
Organic products that won’t cause cancer. The harshest side effect may be an allergy to one of the natural compounds. Moreover, there are many local brands that control quality and don’t mass-produce their products. They are clean, not tested on animals, and healthy.
Always read the ingredient list before buying skincare if you don’t understand what the word means, Google it. Yes, this may have you in the shop for an hour, but it is always important to take time for yourself and find clarity.
Before ordering a product or buying one in a shop, look it up online. Professional aestheticians and other specialists talk openly about brands that sell products with cancerogenic compounds or look into the Campaign for Safe Chemicals for a quick overview.
And remember – lookout for the ingredients disguising right in front of your eyes to make sure your skin products are doing precisely what they should for your skin in the short and long run.

Addressing inflammaging is about keeping our inflammatory response at a healthy level, Preventing our skin from acting out. Here are three ways to tackle inflammaging:
Having a healthy diet is very important. Eating poorly contributes to excess inflammation in our bodies. There are several inflammatory mechanisms that food can affect, such as hormonal disturbance, elevated insulin levels and compromised gut health. All of which can lead to inflammation. The best way to prevent inflammation is to consume products high in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C that help fight free radicals. Also, do not forget to maintain yourself hydrated. Drinking lots of water. This will help you to eliminate toxins faster.
Keep to a simple routine, and that is going to nurture your skin. Our AMAZONIAN GODESS SERUM is simply the ultimate serum. It has an intelligent formula that will hydrate and help your skin to become resilient. Sacha Inchi is also known as the Foods of Gods by the native Incas in South America. Sacha Inchi has a high content on Omegas 3,6, and 9 helping your skin build skin ceramides. This action helps to soothe and strengthen the skin's defences against external aggressors. This serum is so powerful is precisely what you need!.
I also recommend avoiding physical exfoliators. Replace these with gentle exfoliants that contain enzymes and acids such as AHA. Gachala Maca Exfoliant is an excellent product that contains AHA from the berries to keep pore-clogging dead cells at bay without stripping the skin and stressing it out further.
It is essential to set aside some time for yourself. Did you know that stress and lack of sleep also lead to inflammation?
It is crucial that you take some time where you nurture yourself. This is simpler than you think. Reading a book, watching your favourite movie, making your favourite smoothie. All of these activities increase your oxytocin, AKA the happy hormone. Feeling well also leads to happy skin.
I would recommend using your favourite facial mask at least once a week. Gachala Skincare has a whole skincare line exclusively made for you to address your skin concerns while transporting you to the beauty of the Amazonian Jungle. If you are already dealing with some inflammation and redness on your skin, try our AMAZONIAN WHITE CLAY MASK with rare Amazonian white clay sustainably sourced from the Amazon river, it has a beautiful formula with an organic banana extract that soothes and calms stressed skin.
To add an extra soothing effect, mix your clay with our Amazonian sensitive skin facial mist. It is formulated with lavender and peppermint organic hydrosols; it brings down inflammation, diminishes redness, and adds extra hydration and vitamins.

Peppermint Facial Mist for Sensitive Skin
Remember, inflammaging stars internally always, so please be kind to yourself. Eat a balanced diet, minimize your skincare routine and set some time for yourself. If you do this, it is almost guaranteed that your skin will look healthier and younger for a long time.

Clays come from the ground, most often where rivers or streams flowed. They are mainly made from plant life, animals and minerals, essentially all the ingredients of soil. With time, water tends to pressure and break down the remains of fauna, minerals, and flora, grinding them into very fine particles.
Clays are a significant step that you can include in your beauty routine. They naturally draw dirt, oils and toxins out of the skin resulting in softened, deeply cleansed skin.
Here at Gachala skincare, we took the time to look for the most rate, luxurious clays from the depths of the Amazonian rainforest rivers. Their compositions are genuinely unique, unlike any other clays, with mineral content and nutrients that surpass any other clays in the world. Our clays are ethically sourced and very powerful.

We have here six easy steps that you can incorporate into your skincare routine by using your Clay Mask.

This clay is perfect for highly sensitive skin. Its formula is a blend of white, yellow, organic banana extract and sea buckthorn. White and Yellow amazonian clays will detoxify your skin by drawing out excess oil and pollutants from your pores. Banana extract is a gentle source of fruit alpha hydroxy acids to gently refine the skin without irritation and bringing down the inflammation.
Sea buckthorn extract has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and redness associated with many skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.
If you want to have a super boost of vitamin C, you have to try the red Amazonian Raw Kaolin Clay. This formula has a potent blend of red, purple and rose amazonian Clays that purify your skin gently and tighten your skin pores.

This formula has a potent blend of white, green Amazonian Clays with chia seed and maca extract that can help aid the healing process of irritated blemish wounds and protect the outer layer of skin from bacteria.
Exfoliation happens on a cellular level. You can’t see it with the naked eye, but dead skin cells are being removed but this action. This is excellent because you want new skin cells to renew, so your skin will look healthier.
Exfoliating primary purpose is to remove dead skin cells. But it does not end there. It also helps your skin to absorb any skincare nutrient’s easier. As we age, that is what you want, to continue supplying these nutrients faster into your skin to minimize any signs of ageing.
Exfoliating allows you to experience instant results in your skin and is the only skincare treatment with this feature. For instance, Have you ever exfoliated your legs and then shaved afterward? You feel a difference in the smoothness and softness of your legs post-shave almost immediately after you performed them. This is because exfoliating removes the top layer of dead skin cells, exposing new fresh baby skin.
It’s the same concept with facial skin. Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin buildup. Dead skin cells can create a flaky texture on the skin’s surface, so your skin is noticeably softer once that layer has been exfoliated away.
Did you know that once you enter your thirties, your collagen production decreases?
Exfoliating works by triggering a mild trauma to the skin. This tells the body to start producing more collagen, and as a result, your skin is more elastic over time.
That is the true key to collagen is preserving it, not trying to add to it.
Exfoliation is known to drastically improve hyperpigmentation, sun damage, wrinkles, and dehydration, all of which are associated with ageing.
Chemical exfoliants can remove skin cells that are discoloured, thereby reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. However, Chemical exfoliants can be very sensitive if you are prone to have sensitive skin. The key is to use AHA derived naturally from fruits. This the key to gently exfoliate your skin without affecting your skin barrier.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), are excellent especially if you want to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. AHAs work by removing dead skin cells from the edges of facial lines, creating this fantastic illusion that wrinkles aren’t as deep. It does not stop right there. AHAs also increase cell renewal rate, which helps to decrease both the signs of ageing and dehydration.
A great way to really decongest your skin is to exfoliate your skin if you struggle with break-outs and clogged pores. This efficiently will help you to relieve these uncomfortable break-outs allowing your skin to breathe.
The way it works is by replacing dead skin cells with new ones. This action encourages healthy skin tissue to grow after a break-out, allowing it to heal better and faster.
Did you know that Exfoliating can also treat certain types of acne, especially whiteheads and blackheads?. Exfoliating certainly helps to draw out pollutants and debris that clog and congest your pores.
This is the question that you might be asking yourself right now? The truth is that When done correctly, exfoliation can play a primarily important role in your skincare routine. There are two types of exfoliation. Physical and chemical.
Like cleansing, physical exfoliation should be done daily. You can use a gentle exfoliating brush or a detox cleanser (pure exuberance gel cleanser) daily to keep up with the buildup of dead skin cells. Keep in mind that Over-exfoliation can irritate the skin, so be aware to always gently exfoliate with a soft brush or sugar scrub (Colombian coffee scrub). This will get the job done without causing damage.
Chemical exfoliation, aka (AHA, BHA), on the other hand, shouldn’t exceed three times per week in any skin type. Try to do it twice a week, but three is the maximum to avoid over-exfoliation and damage on your skin barrier.
As per Dermatologists’ recommendations, people with oily and acne-prone skin types can use chemical exfoliators with 10% or less daily. However, if you have very sensitive skin, you want to minimize this to 2 times per week.
Should you exfoliate before or after cleansing? Always exfoliate on clean skin. Cleansing your skin before exfoliating ensures that dirt, makeup and pollutants are removed before the next step. What you really want is to be gentle with your skin, and cleansing precisely removes as many impurities as possible before exfoliation, which tends to be less gentle than cleansing.
Gachala Skincare has created two types of exfoliants that you can use alternately. The Colombian coffee body scrub can be used daily, preferably in the morning, due to its highest content of caffeine. It is so gentle. It can also be used on your face to revive tired, dull skin. The second one and also our best seller is Maca Exfoliant exfoliant powder. A very fun formula that combines AHA and enzymes to deeply exfoliate your skin without irritation is highly recommended for hypersensitive skin.
STEP 1 - Make your skin face slightly wet. Keep your hands wet
STEP 2 - Add a quarter size of the Maca Exfoliant Powder to your hand and add water to magically activate the formula! It is so much fun.
STEP 3 - Continue working the formula until a lovely cloud type of foam is formed, and all the ingredients are incorporated.
STEP 4 - Massage into the skin in a circular motion. Do this for 25 sec for sensitive skin and 35 seconds for normal skin. The Papaya Pineapple blend enzymes and AHA from the wild berries will start working by dissolving dead skin, while the organic MACA powder and Amazonian clays will detoxify the skin.
STEP 5 - Remove it gently with warm water.
STEP 6 - Pat dry gently with a clean towel. And voila, beautiful new skin.

Yes! Our Organic Luxury Coffee Body Scrub can help you reducing cellulite. Start by massaging into areas where cellulite is likely to be found (buttocks and thighs). Do it as vigorously as you can tolerate, taking care to protect sensitive skin zones. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Because coffee scrubs are exfoliating, you will want to finish with Buriti body serum and amazonian exotic body butter for incredible results that extra moisturizing effect.
Remember, some temporary redness due to the scrubbing is expected. However, if any discomfort or irritation persists, try rubbing less intensely next time.
People are looking for answers on how to get rid of cellulite. While body scrubs alone cannot eliminate cellulite altogether, they have visibly reduced cellulite's appearance. However, our Organic Coffee Body Scrub contains the purest form of caffeine, which is known to cause dilation of blood vessels, considerably improving blood flow and tightening the skin, giving you that extra help you need to reduce cellulite appearance.
Step 1: Let's be real. You are about to rub coffee all over your body. Start by having a warm cup of coffee before getting into the shower and start your morning beauty routine.
Step 2: Once it's time to get in the shower, be sure that the water is not too hot! We know how good it feels, but very hot water it's actually not good for your skin. Be sure to use warm water and proceed with your usual body wash routine.
Step 3: Once you've finished, you can turn off the water because we are helping save the earth and it's time to scrub. Pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and massage over your wet skin using a circular motion in your entire body. Taking extra time on any spot with stretch marks or cellulite.
Step 4: Before you rinse off all the organic goodness, leave it on your skin for 2 to 10 minutes to enjoy the best results; we promise it is so worth it. This allows your skin to absorb the most caffeine!
Step 5: Always, and we mean it, always, always moisturize after you take a shower! Even though our Organic Coffee Body Scrub is very moisturizing, you should always lock in the moisture by finishing with our Buriti body serum and amazonian exotic body butter for incredible results.
Step 6: As much as we all would love for our cellulite or stretch marks to disappear after just one treatment, to see the best results, you need to add this to your skin routine a few times a week (two or three times per week). You are more likely to see results quicker than if you were to scrub just a few times a month.
This Colombian Organic Coffee Body Scrub has 100% organic certified Colombian Coffee and natural Cane Sugar, a rich glycolic acid source that penetrates the skin cells, leaving it feeling fresh, rejuvenated, and moisturized.
Divina Colombian coffee Body Scrub gently removes dead skin cells while boosting your blood circulation. It plumps and tightens your skin, thanks to its caffeine content. It reduces the appearance of cellulite by dilating blood vessels beneath the skin and improving overall blood flow.
Thanks to its high content of chlorogenic acid and melanoidins, this unique coffee body scrub reduce inflammation thanks to its high chlorogenic acid (CGA) content and melanoidins.
It diminishes hyperpigmentation that may have a connection with inflammation. It reduces water retention and helps denature fat skin cells. As a result, your skin would look even tone, moisturized, and its texture appearance will significantly improve.
Coffee isn't just coffee. With its perfect terrain and climate, Colombia is one of the only countries that produce 100% hand-picked arabica beans. It does not get more luxurious than this!

The importance of the anti-ageing serum is underestimated. An anti-aging serum is highly concentrated on active ingredients. Its deep action on your epidermis reinforces the effectiveness of the product that you will apply later on. Often forgotten during a beauty routine, its role is essential to prepare and boost your skin daily.
Organic anti-ageing serum is an intense treatment in which natural active ingredients will target and deep action your skin, helping increase your skin anti-aging routine's effectiveness and see rapid desirable results.
Your skin is constantly evolving, going through phases of cell turnover, strengthening, and restoration. As time passes, you will start seeing skin changes like wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. It is crucial that you follow those changes closely and start addressing your skin's specific needs.
The good news! is that at Gachala, we make this process simpler for you. You don't have to have a serum per skin concern. Instead, we have developed an intelligent formula that will address all aging-related concerns, and the best part about it is that all the ingredients are organic from the depths of the South American Amazonian Rainforest.
If you're in your 25, 35,45 or approaching your fabulous 50s, you might be wondering where you should focus your attention and what skincare products you should be using.
Do not worry! We have the right serum for you—one less thing to think about.

So, where should you start?. I know it sounds repetitive, but you truly have to start drinking lots of water. Hydration starts from inside. If you are well hydrated, your skin will start balancing the oil production levels. This is extremely important as you know prone to acne skin is very sensitive, and with oily skin, the last thing you want to do is to stimulate your skin to produce even more sebum, which leads to more breakouts.
You may think that using aggressive and drying face care routines is the way to go, but that could not be farther from the truth. Disrupting your skin barrier by drying it excessively can trigger overproduction of your skin's natural oils, making your skin uncomfortably greasy and shiny, not to mention your pores will be significantly enlarged.
At Gachala Skincare, we have a fantastic PH balanced cleanser. This cleanser detoxifies your skin, cleans your pores without stripping away your natural oils. Having an excellent cleanser will prep your skin for the right acne-prone moisturizers.
Blemish-prone skin is a common skin condition with a vast spectrum from being mild to painfully severe. Blemishes occur when sebum glands become blocked with excess oil and dead skin. They usually thrive on oily or combination skin.
This is the one thing you're never supposed to skip, no matter how late it is and how tired you are!
It is imperative to go to sleep with a clean face. Doing this will allow your skin to "breathe," heal, and regenerate overnight. As we mentioned before, having the right PH balance organic cleanser will prep the skin to absorb the right nutrients to regenerate faster and allow any active ingredients to work effectively and address any active breakouts. Furthermore, it is also essential to make sure that your cleanser is gentle and never overdo it. Cleaning your face more than twice will actually be harmful to your skin as you overexpose or disrupt the skin's barrier. Doing this will strip away all the skin's own natural oils.
SOAP-FREE, WORRY-FREE FOAMING CLEANSER MADE FROM NATURE
This organic facial foaming cleanser gives you an abundance of natural goodness. Formulated with the cleansing power of organic amazonian plant ingredients, it protects, soothes and hydrates your skin. Its powerful blend of Amazonian organic ingredients is known in traditional South american Medicine for its healing power and is valued for its high concentration of antioxidants and nutrients. With No Soap or fillers, the Amazonian Goddess Facial Cleanser is gentle on the skin, suitable even for the most sensitive problematic skin.
Step two of a proper skincare routine: is to restore your skin's optimum PH balance with a toner.
There is always the question of whether or not to use a facial toner. Our opinion is that this is a calming extra-nourishing step in which great ingredients can enrich your creative skincare routine. Having a toner will also help you with your overall mood. A beautiful organic toner is always formulated with rose water or other types of hydrosols that can help you calm yourself down and ease your stress. This is also extremely important as your mental health and mood can also interfere with your skin's overall health.
Gachala Skincare has formulated a facial toner that will hydrate and balance your skin PH but, most importantly, is specifically designed for your skin type.
This Oily prone skin mist has a beautiful blend of geranium, ylang-ylang and chlorophyll. This mist will help you hydrate, detox and extra nurture your skin thanks to the beautiful mix of vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, and hyaluronic acid.
OILY FACIAL MIST SPRAY is coming soon...
You must know that you do not have to be afraid of serums or creams as long as they are made specifically for your type of skin.
A natural- organic moisturizer is free from chemical junk, synthetics, and petrochemicals. It is always a better choice to keep your skin calm, nurture and healed.
Finding the perfect moisturizer is hard for anyone—especially people with oily or acne-prone skin. But it is possible to find the best moisturizer for acne, we promise!
Part of the challenge is that people with acne-prone skin do everything in their power to keep oiliness away (trust me, I know). My thought process used to be that moisturizers—some of which contain oil and can leave a greasy feeling on the skin—would cause more breakouts. So, I proceeded only with caution.
Below, you'll find our top products for light-weight, super-chill moisturizers that will keep your oily, breakout-prone skin always hydrated, glowing, and feeling fresh, not to mention looking smooth and clear. And even if your skin isn't oily, Gachala has the perfect products for every season of the year.

When you are looking for a moisturizer to hydrate your thirsty skin, it's essential to choose one that is not only effective and gentle, but its ingredients are ethically sourced from the earth, not animals.
It is so sad that a large number of mainstream moisturizers use oils and other products from animals.
Did you know? According to Ethical Elephant, Some of the common animal-based ingredients:
It's hard to comprehend that they are still ingredients in which animals are exploited or killed in this time and age. This is happening today. The good news? You have the power to change this by making better choices.
Thankfully, Gachala Skincare is proud to say that we are a brand standing by the earth's wildlife. We believe that beauty and nature can coexist. It is essential for us that no animal is tested or harmed.
Education is crucial to understand why this is so important. We want to educate you on what those terms mean? What is the difference between the two V's, vegetarian and vegan products? And why is our vegan facial cream so exceptional by using only plant-based ingredients?
Let's answer all of these questions so you can see why our LUNA CREAM is the best choice for your beauty routine. You can have beautiful skin while taking care of animals at the same time.
Cruelty-free ideally means the brand does not test on animals.
During lab testing, beauty products are used on animals to see how harsh and irritating their chemicals are to their skin.
For moisturizer, harmful chemicals may be added for many reasons, like:
Most harmful additives are purely aesthetic and do little or nothing for your skin's health and appearance.
Cruelty-free moisturizers are not only better for the safety of our animals, but also, it's safer for you too. Gachala skincare uses all-natural, organic and non-toxic ingredients. We are proud to use natural preservatives and essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances.
We go out of our way to avoid animal testing and use safer alternatives. We want to assure you that we only use the most luxurious and most exquisite ethically sourced ingredients from the Amazonian Rainforest. Because of this is our duty to inform you what ingredients to avoid when looking for a moisturizer.

From serums to face cleansers, Gachala got you covered.
Everyone wants beautiful skin. Unhealthy skin not only affects your appearance, but it can also have a significant impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Hyperpigmentation, also known as uneven skin tone and skin discoloration, is caused by years of accumulated sun exposure. This visible marker of photoaging is seen as sun spots, age spots and dark spots. These areas of discoloration are visible and frequently exposed to the sun; however, the skin may also become discoloured after pregnancy or from taking oral contraceptives. However, hyperpigmentation can be addressed naturally. Consistency is the key to achieving results. Gachala has the right products for you.
Your skin is an excellent organ that is always working to regenerate itself. If hyperpigmentation is left alone, it might fade dark spots within six months to a year; however, a skincare product as simple as an exfoliating cleanser could get the job done in 6 weeks.
There's a variety of treatment options available when it comes to fade dark spots. Choosing a face wash that is PH balance is a good place to start. Not only does it help you to balance and strengthen your skin barrier, but also it works by getting rid of dark patches on your skin and promoting a youthful appearance.
Moreover, the right cleanser can also help you with acne, blackheads, and whiteheads by removing oil, bacteria, and dirt. This will be beneficial later on in the future; it will help you address unnecessary skin inflammation resulting in scars and dark spots.
Furthermore, serums and creams can also help with discoloration. Serums have active ingredients specifically designed to target dark spots and scars. They are designed to aid the skin cells' regeneration and accelerate the skin renewal cycle. As a result, hyperpigmentation will fade faster, and your skin will start to have an even complexion.

Large Pores can become harmful as they can capture dirt and toxic substances from the environment and block hair follicles. As a result, your skin may face acne, rashes, and other side effects. To avoid those situations, you always need to keep your pores clean.
Our top picks for best deep pore cleansers for oily skin and enlarged pores are as follows:
Gachala Skincare Cleansers for Large Pores:
To learn why these are considered the best cleansers for oily skin and enlarged pores. In this post, we offer helpful tips for people with oily skin and large pores, or for more cleanser suggestions – carry on reading…
Oily skin is especially determined by your genetics. It tends to be predisposed to blemishes and breakouts with enlarged and very visible pores and a prevalent shiny appearance.
However, the good news for oily skin types is that it tends to balance as we age. Still, in the meantime, it is necessary to have an effective cleanser to help keep your facial oil at bay, clear the shine, and prevent blemishes.
Enlarge pores are one of the main characteristics of the oily skin type; however, other elements can contribute to their dilated formation. You have little control over other factors, such as your age, genetics, and hormones. In contrast, UV damage and comedogenic cosmetics are mostly avoidable.
When treating oily skin, we need to look for cleansers that can help reduce oil production. Diminishing the amount of oil the skin produces it is the key to make pores appear smaller.
Also, It is imperative to ensure that our oily skin does not become dehydrated.
When oily skin is water deficient, it often compensates by overproducing oil. Moreover, when the skin is dehydrated, it looks less plump; every fine line, blemish, will be emphasized. The pores will appear larger than they really are. Try the Amazonian Goddess Serum. It hydrates your skin without clogging your pores and will maintain dewiness and skin elasticity.

While some collagen and elastin naturally break down due to the natural aging process, most are due to premature ageing from free radical damage. You must incorporate antioxidants into your skincare routine. Our Pure exuberance gel cleanser is packed with antioxidants and vitamins that will deep clean your pores and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
The molecules that protect the skin against free radical damage are called Antioxidants, and they help prevent collagen and elastin's premature breakdown. Also, they will help to boost natural collagen and elastin production. As a result, the appearance of large pores will be reduced.

Although we all know the amazing benefits that wearing a face mask add to our community and ourselves by keeping everybody safe; On the other hand, many of us are experiencing cons such as minor skin irritations from prolonged wear, and mask-induced breakouts, also known as "maskne."
To understand this concept better, let's define Maskne. Maskne is defined as "acne mechanica" in other words, it is the acne that rises at sites of friction, rubbing, occlusion, causing inflammation and irritation of the hair follicles.
If you are experiencing an increase in breakouts and pimples around the mouth, chin area and nose, you are definitely not alone. Here are three mask acne habits to control, treat and prevent it.
I would love to know that every one of us is using fabric made face mask. Not only there as effective as the disposable ones but also, they are eco-friendly. Try to wash your mask on a daily basis with a gentle, non-toxic, eco-friendly detergent.
I know that it is tempting to try or switch different skincare products but to see if a product is actually working, you should ideally be using it for around 28 days. That is the average length of the cellular cycle or how long it takes skin cells to be produced in the bottom layer of the epidermis and get pushed up to the top layer, where they become karyocytes they exfoliate off. So basically, your skin has layers like a cake. They are continually moving thru, but to see if a product is really working, you have to give it time to make those changes. Consider this, especially if you are dealing with irritating skin, which could be from rosacea, eczema, or anything else. The most damage your skin barrier is, the easier you want to take it.
The key to control acne forming or skin irritation due to the face mask's pro-long use is to stick with a simple routine. The less we do to our skin, the better. Look for a PH balanced face cleanser. Amazonian Goddess Foam Cleanser is gentle on the skin, detoxifying and nourishing your skin by no stripping your natural protecting oils.
Furthermore, try to exfoliate once a week. The Maca exfoliant enzymatic powder has an exotic cocktail of papaya and pineapple that dissolve dead skin, preventing your pores from clogging with impurities and toxins.
Finally, always moisturize. For this, try the Amazonian Goddess serum with Sacha Inchi, also known as the food of Gods. It will protect your skin barrier, making it resilient.

Cleaning your skin appropriately is imperative to achieve clear, beautiful skin. That is why understanding how double cleansing works play an essential role in your skincare routine.
Let’s define double-cleansing. Double cleansing involves using a cleansing oil, balm or oil gel to break down makeup, SPF and sebum on the surface of your skin first, then following it with a deeper water-based cleanser.
So, why make cleansing a two-step process? According to the experts, there are two significant benefits to the technique. First up, when you wear foundation, double cleansing scores you a better clean. Oils will break down makeup, remove sweat, bacteria and old skin cells. This is helpful to then truly clean deeper into the pores to remove any impurities, as the second step with a detoxifying water-based cleanser. Practicing this two-step cleansing method, makes room for any active ingredients you apply afterwards on your skin to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Now, the question is when to double cleansing? And the answer to this question is: even if you don’t wear makeup regularly, it is still necessary to properly make sure you are cleansing your skin at the end of the day. Not only to removes makeup but also pollutants and dirt that accumulate on your skin during the day. When you cleanse your skin efficiently, you will avoid oxidative damage to the skin by inhibiting the breakdown of collagen and the development of wrinkles and sunspots.
That been said, doing the double cleansing method isn’t suitable for all cases. For instance, sensitive, dry, or rosacea-prone skin tends to over-drying; therefore, just using a gentle water-based cleanser followed by a water rinse is more than enough. Unless you are very creative and wear lots of makeup, remember less is more.
Here at Gachala skincare, we believe in double cleansing your skin. I want you to be proactive in taking care of your skin and avoid any oxidative damage as much as possible. That is why I created pure exuberance gel cleanser. This exotic Organic Amazonian Cleansing gel dissolves makeup and detoxifies your skin, formulated with the purest powerful Rainforest Oils. Our anti-ageing cleansing gel has natural AHA from Organic Strawberry and Tropical Hibiscus seed oil and Co-Enzyme Q10. Leaving your skin clean a ready to be nourished.

Our skin is designed to protect us from infections and foreign entities that could harm us. Skin PH plays a significant role in the skin's ability to fight them properly. When our skin PH is unbalanced, we experience a series of skin conditions depending on the amount of Hydrogen's found in it.
PH level ranges between 1-14 on the scale. One being the most acidic and 14 the most alkaline, seven is considered neutral. In the otter layer of our skin, also known as the epidermis, there is a thin protective layer called ACID MANTLE. This layer is made up of sebum (free fatty acids) produce by the sebaceous glands and amino acids, lactic acids secreted by the sweat glands. This combination of components leads to a slightly acidic and optimum PH of 5.5.
Many factors, such as environment and lifestyle, can disrupt the delicate PH balance of the acid Mantle both internally and externally. Eating, sleeping well, and having the right skincare products can maintain its precious balance.
Diet plays a vital role in the PH of our skin. The most acidic we eat, the more alkaline our skin PH will be. Animal products that are alkaline before digestion are considered acid-forming. This is an interesting paradox as acidic products like lemon, veggies, and fruits are acidic prior digestion, yet when ingested, they are alkaline-forming. Dr. Jeannette Graf, "We need our diets to be less acidic than alkaline; otherwise, we become too acidic." Meaning that an ideal diet consists of consuming an abundance of alkalizing foods., such as leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, tomatoes, carrots and soybeans.
When it comes to skincare, having an excellent mild cleanser is extremely important. Most cleansers such bars and detergent soaps tend to be too alkaline for the skin as they strip away natural oils (sebum), causing dryness and irritation.
Skin that is too alkaline can be more susceptible to acne. A certain level of acid is needed to inhibit bacteria growth, too acidic it can cause redness and itching.
Be mindful of your cleanser; perhaps it is the most crucial step of your skincare routine!
