Hello Again!

In my last e-mail, I introduced you to Oliveda, the skincare products that I have been using for the past year. I mentioned that I’ve been learning about how 70% of most beauty products on the market is actually water. I’ve been learning all about why water in beauty products is a problem. It’s because if there’s water, there has to be a preservative too. And preservatives can cause inflammation in the skin, leading to all sorts of skin conditions.

Here’s how the founder of Oliveda, Thomas Lommel, solved that problem. Thomas was already obsessed with the healing power of olive oil and olive trees. His personal journey is really incredible, actually. If you have a few minutes and want to learn more, I highly recommend reading about it here. Since Thomas was already personally and scientifically convinced of the power of olive products, he knew that what was good for the inside, must also be good for the outside—for our skin, the largest organ of the body. In his research, he came across the molecule called hydroxytyrosol, naturally derived from olive leaves at a much higher potency than olive oil. This molecule is the primary reason olive trees can live up to 4,000 years! By replacing water in beauty products with an elixir made from hydroxytyrosol, he eliminated the need for preservatives and developed products with a much higher percentage of bioactive ingredients! Oliveda also has internal elixirs that support inflammation and so much more from the inside out.

Hydroxytyrosol’s benefits include:

  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Anticancer (full of powerful antioxidants)
  • Antimicrobial (helps fight off respiratory and gastrointestinal pathogens)
  • Reduces blood clots
  • Improves vision

If it seems like a miracle ingredient…that’s because it really is. But don’t just take my word for it! Try out a few products for yourself and see if you notice a difference in your skin and overall health.

You don’t have to have a turning point story. You don’t have to be able to measure your progress or explain it to anyone. You’re allowed to be somewhere in the middle — uncertain and tired and still putting one foot in front of the other — and that’s enough.

Hot summer sun

The truth is, summer heat has a real and documented effect on our mood, our sleep, our nervous system, and our mental wellbeing—especially for those of us over 60, whose bodies are more sensitive to temperature regulation than we often realize. What we feel isn’t weakness. It’s physiology.
