SKIN CARE ROUTINE

This is the general skin care routine we would recommend. Feel free to adapt it according to your
type of skin and condition, as described below.

Daily morning care:

· Wash your face with warm water. You can use a soft facial loofah to gently exfoliate your
skin. If you have dry skin, avoid using soap on your face.
· If necessary, apply the Living Facial Cleanser.
· Mist your face with the Floral Face Toner
· Use one of Raw Gaia’s Moisturizers or creams. If you want the moisturizer to sink in more
readily, you can mist your face with the Toner after applying the moisturizer or apply to wet
skin. Use a very small amount of moisturizer if you are going to use make up.

Daily evening care:

· Wash your face with warm water. If your skin is dry, avoid using soap on your face.
· Cleanse using the Living Facial Cleanser (it will remove dirt, makeup, mascara, etc)
· Mist your face with the Floral Face Toner
· Use one of Raw Gaia’s Moisturizers or creams. In the evening, you may want to apply more
moisturizer / cream than in the morning.
· Apply the Revitalising Eye Oil for extra care in the area around the eyes.

To keep your face nicely glowing and cleansed, once a week use the Raw Chocolate Face Pack or the Sun-dried Green Clay Face Pack.

General body care:

After a shower or bath, you can use any of Raw Gaia’s moisturizers and creams as hand and body
creams. The Coconut Butter and Shea Butter are also excellent moisturizers for arms and legs. Shea
Butter is particularly good for very dry skin. Or you can use the Living Beauty Massage Bar or the
Detox Massage Bar, which are particularly nice after a shower or bath.
To wash your body and hands, use any of our Raw Soaps. They are extremely gentle, feel very
nice to use and will not dry out your skin.

PRODUCTS FOR OILY SKIN AND/OR ACNE:

For oily skin and/or acne, we would recommend:
· Raw Chocolate Face Pack or Sun-Dried Green Clay, once a week
· Living Facial Cleanser, applying it once or twice a day
· Witchhazel Floral W ater, which is also very good for oily skin, so can you use it once a day or
whenever it feels appropriate
· As a moisturizer, you can try the MSM Beauty Spray, which is a very light moisturizer. You can
also use the MSM Beauty Cream provided you use it very lightly (it may help to apply it on
your face with wet hands).
· Please note that the Living Facial Cleanser will moisturize your skin, so if your skin is very oily,
you may not need to use a moisturizer / cream separately.
· The Floral Face Toner will help to balance the skin.

PRODUCTS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Many adults and babies with extremely sensitive skin or suffering from skin conditions such as
dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, etc. have found our skin care range truly effective. We think that this
is due to the purity and living nature of our products and the use of plant-based ingredients that
have special soothing and healing qualities.
So, in regards to selecting a moisturizer, you can try the Hemp Living Moisturizer or the For Her
Babies Living Cream. The latter does not contain any essential oils and is therefore recommended
for people sensitive to them.
If you are sensitive to essential oils, avoid those products that contain essential oils and use instead
Raw Gaia’s organic, cold-pressed oils and floral waters according to your particular needs.
Other products that are generally suitable for sensitive skin:
· Sun-Dried Green Clay, used once a week
· Floral Face Toner
· As a cleanser, you can use a Floral Water (like Rose) instead of the Living Facial Cleanser.

PRODUCTS FOR COMBINATION SKIN:

For combination skin, we recommend the following:
· Living Facial Cleanser, applying it once or twice a day.
· Use one of Raw Gaia’s moisturizers / creams except in oily areas. (The cleanser will moisturise
your skin, therefore you may not need to use a moisturiser/ cream in the oily parts of your face.

The Raw Gaia Team

Hector Bolanos and Lisa Lennon , a husband and wife team, founded Raw Gaia with an inspiring mission. They wanted to create a product with the purest 100% organic, fair-trade, living and vegan ingredients. They wanted products that stood out with ingredients such as cold-pressed butters and oils as well as high-grade essential oils. The end result, intensely nourishing products that maintain the life force of the ingredients and all their antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to heal, & nourish your skin. In addition to creating such fantastic products, Raw Gaia continues to stand out as a company with very high ethical, environmental and fair trade principles.

On a personal note, I have been using the MSM Beauty Cream over the last few months, and I’ve noticed measurable results in my skin’s appearance. I absolutely love the product and am hooked!

Here is what Lisa Lennon had to say about creating Raw Gaia and the inspiration behind it all:

(SR) With so many organic brands out there, what makes Raw Gaia products stand out?

(LL) Our products are raw, vegan, handmade and living as well as organic.

(SR) What was your inspiration for Raw Gaia?

(LL) I suffered with dry skin and eczema and none of the products that I tried worked so I started experimenting in the kitchen and researching. By this time myself and my partner Hector had been following a raw vegan diet so it made sense to continue using this principle with the products. After a lot of perseverance I came up with my first moisturiser (For her Daughters) and I was amazed with the results so I decided to give it to a few friends to try. The response was so wonderful that Hector and I decided we had a winning formula on our hands and decided to start selling the Moisturiser and soon we developed a whole range of living products.

(SR) What is “living skin care” & how important is it?

(LL) Living skin care means that the products are not heated, we use a low temperature process to produce them. Cold-pressed fats and oils, kept at low temperatures, help to beautify the skin, strengthen the cell membranes and restore nutrients to the tissues that your body nourishes from the existing life force of the ingredients. In contrast, subjecting to high temperatures destroy most of this living energy.

(SR) What benefits did you notice in your skin after switching to a “living skincare” regimen?

(LL) I no longer suffered from dry skin.

(SR) What is your most common customer compliment?

(LL) That their skin feels and looks amazing!

(SR) Do you have any favorite products in your line?

(LL) The MSM cream and spray which is a nutritional form of sulphur, it is an essential component in the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin. It gives flexibility, tone and strength to muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes and especially the skin, hair and nails.

(SR)What skin types benefit the most from your products?

(LL) Dry skin, eczema, acne or rosacea

(SR)How is Raw Gaia environmentally responsible and why is this important to you?

(LL)

No machinery

No Surplus packaging

Recyclable containers

Vegan

No animal testing

Today is a great time to focus on the big and small ways we can all do our part at home and work and in our communities on a daily basis to nurture our planet and conserve our natural resources. It is important for us to educate ourselves in this way so that our children who inherit the earth from us continue to do so.

(SR) What do you think is the brands biggest achievement?

(LL) Living product with no heating and our anti ageing ethical marketing.

(SR)What do you have planned for Raw Gaia’s future? Are these products the beginning of a much larger line or do you plan on keeping it small?

(LL) The business is growing slowly and gradually, we want it to continue growing but not to the extent that it becomes impersonal.
