Spot/Zit Treatment
Did you know:

You can dab a little of Dr.Hauschka Facial Steam Bath directly onto an unwanted
spot to treat it!

Normal Use:
Add a capful of Dr.Hauschka Facial Steam Bath to a basin of hot water and steam cleansed skin for 2-5 minutes.

OR

do a few compresses on the skin with a warm soaked cotton face cloth or Muslin cloth

2. Mix a pea size of your favorite Dr.Hauschka mask with your daily moisturiser every day for 28 days. Yes you can leave all four Dr.Hauschka masks on your skin all day. A real time saver!

AND
After a DAY ON THE BEACH – mix double the normal pea size (point 2.) with your day cream for your evening outing for a glowing, healthy look!

(Use close to the eyes to treat this area of your skin too)

The importance of using Natural Ingredients in Shampoos.

In almost every ‘regular’ shampoo there is the ingredient called Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulphate which is a foaming agent.

This ingredient has been linked to balding as it irritates the hair follicle.

How one feels about one’s hair plays a big role in how one feels about one’s self.

I know I feel great when my hair is healthy and looking good!

Used for 3 different skin conditions used in 3 different ways:

Oily Skin:
In order for blemished, oily and open-pored skin to recover its natural balance, it needs regulating care. Dr.Hauschka Normalising Day Oil with its oil extracts, helps the skin normalize its production of sebum.

In the morning:
• Cleanse
• Tone (Clarifying or Facial Toner)
• Apply a small amount of Normalising Day Oil onto the oily parts of the skin.

For combination skin:
Mix the Normalising Day Oil with Moisturising Day Cream or Rose Day Cream Light.

Extremely Dry Skin:
• Apply Normalising Day Oil OVER your regular day cream.

This will give your skin extra nourishment and protection all day.

Cradle Cap – my success story:
Caro Copeland

" I recently used Dr.Hauschka Neem Hair Oil for 7 days on my
4 ½ month old baby and his cradle cap went completely!

I applied only 5 drops on his entire scalp every morning (gently spread over the scalp with my finger tips). I wash his head with the Dr.Hauschka Conditioner every 4 days.

Now he is on a maintenance treatment of Neem Hair Oil
every 3rd day."

In developing sun care products WALA (who makes Dr.Hauschka) decided to go for the mineral-based sunscreen option because mineral sunscreens work on the surface of the skin and are extremely well tolerated. For our current Dr.Hauschka Sun Care products we used the so-called Australian Standard to measure their UVA protection performance.
This guarantees that a minimum of 90 percent of all UVA rays striking the skin are filtered.

Until the new EU recommendation this was the most common method of measuring the UVA protection offered by sun care products world wide. Now the EU Commission on Standards has issued a recommendation which all sun protection products are supposed to meet by the summer of 2009. This requires that sun protection products in the EU must offer uniform minimum protection against UVA radiation and have a ratio of at least 1:3 UVA to UVB protection.

When chemical sun protection factors are used it is not difficult to achieve the required 1:3 ratio. For WALA, however, using chemical sun protection factors is out of the question, therefore after intensive deliberation and reflection on the subject WALA have decided to discontinue the Sun Care Range.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and are very sad to see it go ourselves.
