Noni Skin Tip Reminder

Remember, never apply the IcyHeat Noni Lotion to sensitive skin areas or your face, as the added menthol/camphor could burn or sting. However, the added menthol/camphor is perfect for stiffness, soreness, and other closed-skin injuries, as it opens up the pores of the body and lets the Noni in faster.

Why is Noni So Special- Natural Acne Treatment

The final piece in the skin section of “Why Noni is So Special” is acne.

Oh acne! How we despise thee! To eliminate acne let’s briefly discuss what acne is.

To put it plainly, acne starts when your sebaceous glands clog your skin’s pores due to the sebum (or oil) that your skin naturally produces. These pores become inflamed and infected causing redness to appear on the skin that acne is so famous for. Sever cases of acne (cystic acne) are nodules lying below the skin's surface that have become inflamed and infected. Cystic acne is very painful and usually results in scarring.

The first step to reducing acne is to eliminate the inflammation in your skin. Noni fruit contains over 165 powerful compounds. One such compound is scopoletin that works as a natural anti-inflammatory and natural pain reliever. Applying Noni Lavender Lotion to the affected area can cause immediate pain relief helping you resist the urge to pick and scratch your acne. Noni fruit also contains compounds (like vitamin C) that act as anti-histamines, which can help reduce acne by decreasing your body’s sensitivity to skin irritants when cleansing and moisturising your skin.

Why Noni is So Special- Anti-aging Naturally

Noni fruit. Who’s heard of it? This little potato sized raw food contains big medicinal properties. Over 165 compounds to be more precise. What can noni fruit do for you? What noni health benefits are of specific interest to you? This is the first in a series of blogs that will briefly go over the key health benefits of this pungent but potent fruit. First stop: Anti-aging

Your skin is the biggest organ in your body. Some argue it’s the most important. Why? Skin keeps bacteria away from your internal organs and out of your blood stream. Sounds vital? We thought so!

Noni Fruit’s Anti-aging Benefits:

One of your skin’s biggest aging enemies are free radicals. That’s right! An oxygen molecule who just got out of a bad relationship is scavenging your body for another molecule to pair with. This “free radical” will “steal” a molecule from another cell causing another “free radical” to form. See the domino effect? This chain reaction can cause disease, inflammation, and of course aging skin.

To combat free radicals, your skin needs natural antioxidants like vitamin C to reverse the effects of aging and pollution. Noni fruit not only contains large amounts of vitamin C, but noni also contains selenium which is an important natural antioxidant and essential trace mineral that preserves the skin elasticity thus slowing the aging process. Published research has shown our Noni Fruit Leather has the highest natural antioxidant levels per serving size than apples, blueberries, and even other superfoods like acai berries. As raw food, the Noni Fruit Leather feeds the cells of the body promoting good health.

Fight Aging with the Skin-Tightening Power of Noni

Looking for an all-natural way to keep your skin youthful and healthy as you age? Noni, a unique tropical fruit that contains over 165 beneficial compounds, is the superfood you’ve been looking for.

Eating noni fruit, as well as applying our noni formulas to the skin, helps your body create, protect, and renew youthful skin. Noni works over time by improving collagen levels, providing abundant antioxidants, and providing the micronutrients your skin needs to create healthy new cells.

In particular, the skin-tightening power of noni has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines while restoring a more healthy, youthful skin texture.

Why Skin Loosens As We Age

To understand why noni is so effective at tightening skin, you first have to understand why skin tends to loosen as we get older.

Collagen and elastin are the two compounds that keep your skin firm. As we age, our bodies slow down production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Genetics plays a big role, but even larger factors are related to your lifestyle.

Lifestyle Factors Contributing to Skin Sagging

• Loss of muscle tone due to lack of exercise
• Sun damage over your lifetime
• Buildup of dead skin cells
• Dry skin
• Poor diet and nutrition

How Noni Can Help

Noni, whether taken internally in the form of Noni Fruit Leather, or applied topically in the form of Noni Lavender Lotion, combats every one of those lifestyle factors mentioned above.

Inactivity

A major cause of sagging skin is loss of muscle tone. This often happens as we age, our daily activity level decreases and motivating ourselves to exercise becomes a struggle. This energy loss unfortunately coincides with reduced ability to build and maintain muscle tone.

The first effect most people notice when they start taking Noni Fruit Leather every day is an energy and mood boost. Don’t underestimate the power of a little extra energy when you’re trying to motivate yourself to build muscle! Just taking a long, brisk walk each day can firm up your skin with muscles.

Sun Damage

Over time, sun exposure does all kinds of damage to the skin. A common effect is leathery, discolored skin, covered with fine lines. The skin often loosens as the sun speeds the breakdown of collagen, which you need for firm skin.

Noni combats the damage of the sun because it’s so high in antioxidants, which can neutralize the free radicals unleashed by the radiation of the sun. Noni Fruit Leather scores higher in ORAC units (units used to measure antioxidants) per serving than apples, berries, and even other superfoods like acai. Published research has shown our Noni Fruit Leather has the the highest antioxidant levels per serving size.

Buildup of Dead Skin Cells

As we age, our bodies get less efficient about shedding and sloughing off dead skin cells. This can cause skin to look dull, can increase the appearance of fine lines, and can even cause skin to sag. Most exfoliants are too harsh for aging skin, and may actually make the problem worse.

Luckily, Noni Lavender Lotion is an extremely gentle but effective exfoliant. All you have to do is rub the lotion into the skin until small brown balls form on the surface. Those are balls of dead skin, being shed away without any harsh chemicals.

Dry Skin

Noni combats dry skin with tons of emollient ingredients that soothe the skin, without the need for the oils and waxes other lotions rely on.

Diet & Nutrition

Despite the fact that Americans are eating more and more calories, we’re getting less and less nutrition in our food, including antioxidants and other phytonutrients we need to hold aging at bay. In particular, the decrease in raw food we eat may be contributing to this problem.

Noni is such a powerful superfood because it contains over 165 vital beneficial compounds, including enzymes that can only survive in raw food. Our Noni Fruit Leather is a raw food, containing all the benefits of raw noni fruit fresh from the tree.

Restores Collagen Production

In research presented in the 2005 Journal of Medicinal Food, Coreana Skin Science Research Center found that noni extract actually increased production of collagen. The compound responsible is a plant chemical in the anthraquinone group. It works by reducing an enzyme that breaks down skin collagen, which is made of protein strands. Noni also contains selenium, which preserves skin elasticity.

According to the researchers, “noni extract is a good candidate for use as a new anti-wrinkle agent due to its strong induction of biosynthetic activity of extracellular matrix components.”

How to Get Noni

Because anti-aging is such a lucrative industry, we aren''t surprised that skincare product companies and many others have tried to jump on the noni bandwagon once the evidence started coming in to support the traditional wisdom.

Many products advertised today do contain noni, but they use such miniscule portions that it barely has any effect. Plus, many products use noni juice which is less than half as potent as Noni Fruit Leather. Don’t expect to receive great anti-aging or beautifying results for your skin where noni is only a minor component.

Noni is best used as a raw whole food, even when it’s used topically. That’s why our Noni Fruit Leather is made of 100% raw organic noni pulp, and our lotions contain over 90% Noni Fruit Leather. No other noni products are as pure or as effective at stopping aging in its tracks.

Noni just doesn’t lend itself well to fermentation, pasteurization, and other processing. Much of the noni products sold today are devoid of potent phytochemical activity because how they were processed. But not Hawaiian Organic Noni’s products.

Noni: Your Organic Path to Clear Skin

Anyone who has suffered from chronic, hormonal, or periodic acne knows how incredibly frustrating it can be. Most acne sufferers have run the gambit of treatment options, including harsh chemicals and expensive medication.

Many of these harsh chemicals actually further inflame the skin, and can lead to excessive dryness, redness, and itching. For many people, noni can be a great all-natural alternative solution for acne. It works without any harsh chemicals, contains all-organic ingredients, and works with your skin, instead of against it.

We created our Noni Lavender Lotion to be gentle, soothing, and effective against a wide variety of skin complaints, including acne. Here’s how it works.

Relief from Pain and Inflammation

The first step to reducing acne is to reduce the inflammation in the area. Noni contains tons of beneficial compounds that actually work as anti-inflammatories. One of these is scopoletin, an anti-inflammatory phytochemical that is being researched for healing and pain relief.

Reducing inflammation in acne-prone areas helps to slow down the positive feedback loop of irritation and acne formation that can be so difficult to escape from.  If you struggle with touching or itching your acne, reducing inflammation might relieve the urge.

Noni also contains compounds that act as anti-histamines, which can help reduce acne altogether by decreasing your body’s sensitivity to skin irritants.

Cleansing Antimicrobial

Most of the time, acne gets out of hand when a secondary exterior infection triggers even more inflammation and immune response. Many people combat this by overwashing the face, or by stripping the face with harsh chemicals, but this can actually be counter-productive.

Noni is a much gentler anti-microbial, using organic ingredients to guard your skin against infection. Scopoletin is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent, as well as an anti-inflammatory. Noni also contains anthraquinone, which helps keep bacterial like Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Salmonella at bay.

Just giving your body the chance to heal unimpeded can go a long way towards recovery.

Long-Term Improvement to Skin Texture

Acne is almost always caused by a skin texture problem. Acne-prone skin may be too oily, too flakey, or too prone to clogged pores. All of these conditions can be improved with regular use of noni.

Noni contains the building blocks your body needs to create healthy, resilient skin. Taking noni orally and applying it topically combine to help your body create, protect, and renew youthful, acne-free skin. It works over time by improving collagen levels, providing abundant antioxidants, and providing micronutrients needed by the skin to create healthy new cells.

The result is relief from acne by treating the true root of the problem: skin texture and imbalance.

Reduced Scarring

Scarring can be one of the most frustrating aspects of an acne problem. Even once the blemishes themselves are healed, they leave behind unsightly scars that can last for years, or even a lifetime.

By helping the skin get all the nutrients it needs while it’s healing, noni can actually prevent scarring. It boosts collagen production in skin cells, which can help newly forming skin blend properly with existing skin tissue. Noni can also help even out skin tone and texture, to reduce the appearance of discolored scars or patches of damaged skin.

Acne Relief for All Ages

People of all ages suffer from acne for different reasons. Hormone levels change, the environment fluctuates, we come into contact with a new irritant. It’s hard to ever feel fully in the clear from acne. But using noni as a reliable, long-term treatment, both internally and externally, can give your skin some resilience against these changes.

Noni is an extremely delicate resource and must be handled properly to ensure it retains its most potent phytochemical properties. Noni Fruit Leather is made from only fresh raw noni and has no additives or preservatives. It never undergoes harmful fermenting processing either, as noni juicedoes. Products made entirely of raw noni deliver the best results.

Noni works best alone, specifically when used topically as a raw lotion, not as an extract. Some companies advertise noni as an ingredient in their products; however, it's typically only a very small percentage of the ingredients. Noni Fruit Leather is made from 100 percent raw noni, using a unique low heat dehydration process that maintains the important phytochemical powers to address internally the cause of various skin conditions. Use Noni Lavender Lotion externally to help achieve the great-looking skin you are seeking.
