We all desire soft and rosy lips, don’t we? Well, some people develop darker lips because of hyperpigmentation and lifestyle factors. Have you noticed during harsh weather, your lips are often the first to get affected? This is because most of us ignore our lips during our daily skincare routine. We fail to grasp that the skin found on the lips is the thinnest and most sensitive; hence, the part of our face that we always ignore is actually that which needs the most attention and care. Having elegant-looking pink lips is a dream for many people, and many wonder how they can lighten their lips. Well, wonder no more because we have you covered. We have discovered the secret to helping you achieve this dream, and we’ll let you in on it. The ILLUMINATE lip balm is a natural lip balm infused with turmeric and lemon – two very potent natural skin-lightening ingredients. Before we discuss these natural skin-lightening ingredients in-depth, let us look at some of the causes of dark lips. WHAT CAUSES DARK LIP? Lip hyperpigmentation can be caused by: Cigarette smoking Excessive exposure to the sun Excess caffeine Certain medications like chemotherapy Medical conditions like anemia Deficiency of vitamins How to Lighten Lips with ILLUMINATE Lip Brightening Balm Lip lightening can be achieved naturally by combining the right ingredients. To prevent further occurrence of hyperpigmentation on the lips, you have to use a lip balm that protects against further UV damage. ILLUMINATE lip brightening balm offers both. Turmeric and lemon are combined for lightening dark spots on the lips. Turmeric is a powerful and effective natural skin-lightening ingredient in the skincare world today. It has been discovered that turmeric can lighten the lips within three weeks with long-lasting results. Turmeric inhibits melanin production leaving your lips naturally pink. Lemon, paired with turmeric, helps to lighten lips. Lemon contains Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. Hence, not only does lemon help in lightening the lips, it helps to neutralize free radicals while providing an uplifting scent. ILLUMINATE also contains Zinc Oxide, a renowned ingredient used in skin protectants such as sunscreen products to prevent harmful sun rays. Zinc Oxide is a component of mineral sunscreens, and it helps prevent UV rays from getting to the lip’s skin by scattering the sun’s rays. It works like a mirror that is, it reflects UV rays away from the skin. Zinc Oxide is a broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredient because it covers both UVA and UVB spectrum. Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter are also incorporated into this lip-lightening balm. Cocoa Butter adds a protective hydrating layer to your lips, while Shea Butter helps maintain moisture. This duo is also a natural source of antioxidants. In addition to these ingredients, ILLUMINATE contains Manuka Honey, Vitamin E, and Broad Spectrum CBG. The Manuka Honey helps to prevent lip sores caused by dry and cracked lips by drawing in and retaining moisture on the lips. Vitamin E promotes healing, and it helps to strengthen the skin barrier function. The Broad Spectrum CBG has therapeutic effects. Devoid of any psychoactive ingredient, it helps relieve inflammation on the lips. For many who are concerned about how to lighten lips, worry no more because ILLUMINATE can help brighten those dark spots on your lips and, consequently, lighten and even the tone of your lips. Apply ILLUMINATE balm on those lips to get a visible lip brightening result in as few as two weeks with further protection against the recurrence of pigmentation. *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

Like any other form of self-care, a skincare routine can be calming and soothing. Taking time out for yourself makes you feel like you are aesthetically honoring yourself. Those few minutes can be almost meditative when spent going through steps in a calm, rhythmic, and purposeful manner. The skin is the body's largest organ and is very important because it protects the body against germs, regulates the body, and holds body fluids. It is responsible for preventing dehydration, protecting us from UV radiation by producing melanin, and trapping vitamin D, which prevents many diseases like cancer, obesity, heart diseases, etcetera. It is essential to have healthy skin, which can only be achieved by having a good skincare routine and using good products such as Vitamin C Serum for repairing sun-damaged skin. Your skincare routine affects not only your skin but also your mental health. A nighttime mask, a daily cleanser, or even a little moisturizer can save the appearance of your skin and significantly affect your emotional well-being. Reasons Why Maintaining a Good Skincare Routine Is Good For Your Mental Health Pampering Skin on a Periodic Basis Triggers a Gush of Chemicals in Your Brain to Boost Your Mood. Create a skincare routine that feels good and includes products you like using. Your routine should be something you look forward to. You can set the mood by lighting scented candles, having a glass of wine, or listening to some relaxing music. Skin Care routines Provide a Chance to Bond With Loved Ones — and That’s a Boon to Mental Health. Generally, spending time and doing hobbies and enjoyable activities with loved ones is linked to excellent happiness levels. You can carve out time and do your routine with a loved one. Make it a fun and bonding experience. Doing Something Nice For Yourself Helps To Curb Negative Thoughts. When you are idle or less busy, intrusive thoughts, both positive and negative, tend to filter in. So engaging yourself in self-care activities like washing, toning, and moisturizing your face or body can get you out of your head and help you focus on what you are doing. A Good Skin-Care Routine Provides Equilibrium in Your Day That Boosts Your Mental Health. Routines are critical for overall health in both mind and body. Studies have shown that people who are not consistent in their routines throughout the active part of their day are more likely to suffer from mood problems, major depression, and bipolar disorders. Routines make you feel good and bring comfort to your life. Taking Care Of Your Skin Is an Act of Kindness That Sends a Powerful Message. The world is a very stressful place. You are very tired at the end of a very stressful and demanding day and might be tempted to just roll into bed without splashing water on your face. What if you focused on taking care of yourself by spending five extra minutes to treat your skin? The use of good products was mentioned earlier because many products on the market contain harmful ingredients such as parabens, fragrances, and mineral oil, all of which are unnecessary. Parabens can trigger irritation and allergic reactions in the skin. Mineral Oil can irritate the skin, causing a rash or burning feeling on contact, and fragrances are the leading cause of dermatitis, according to the American Association of Dermatology. MOOD is committed to creating products that are good for the body and mind. ELEVATE FACE SERUM contains Clementine oil. It detoxes and nourishes your skin and elevates your mood while quickly putting a smile on your face. It can also be used on the hands; the vegan Hyaluronic Acid serum pulls moisture into your skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face and hand. It also contains Vitamin C Serum for repairing sun-damaged skin. ELEVATE contains citrus oil, which provides antioxidant benefits and has also been proven to uplift moods like depression and anxiety. In Conclusion The act of caring for your skin - your largest organ - at least twice a day is not just a physical experience but a mindful one. Mindfulness is when you hone in on sensations you’re experiencing in the present moment without passing judgment. This practice has been shown to ease anxiety and depression by stopping worry. Engaging in this activity can help your brain unhook from less healthy thinking patterns. So take care of yourself and your skin today by investing in good products and a good skincare routine. *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

The skin is by far the largest organ of the body. It acts as a defensive barrier between our internal body organs and the external environment. Healthy skin offers strong protection against bacteria and other microorganisms. A breach in the skin opens the body to infections. We all desire bright and glowing skin, and many of us do whatever it takes to achieve this. Some use unhealthy products, which in the end, cause severe damage to their skin. Dark spots on the skin should not be ignored and accepted as a norm. It is time to add the ILLUMINATE Skin Brightening Serum to your skincare regimen to get rid of dark spots on your skin. Trusted by skin care professionals and dermatologists for addressing hyperpigmentation, ILLUMINATE contains only natural skin brightening ingredients like Licorice Root, Kojic Acid, and Turmeric. It also contains other ingredients like Vitamin B3, which adds moisture to the skin. ILLUMINATE is safe for all skin types and tones. Skin Brightening With the Natural Ingredients Licorice Root, Kojic Acid, and Turmeric ILLUMINATE contains Licorice Root, which has natural skin brightening effects. It fades hyperpigmentation by removing excess melanin from the skin. It also disperses melanin existing in the skin, hence preventing the formation of new hyperpigmentation spots. Licorice root also encourages an even complexion. A potent natural skin-lightening ingredient, licorice Root is an alternative to chemical hydroquinone. Kojic Acid is a super ingredient that inhibits the formation of tyrosine, which then blocks melanin production. As a result, it brightens your complexion. Kojic Acid is not lethal to body cells; therefore, it is safe. This ingredient is well-tolerated, even by the most sensitive skin type. Hence it is an effective ingredient for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Turmeric is also effective when it comes to skin brightening. A recent study found that turmeric could brighten the skin within three weeks with long-lasting results. Turmeric is an extract of the Curcuma Longa Root. It also has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, and it is paired with broad-spectrum CBD oil to heal and promote healthy skin. This trio combined together clears and prevents the formation of dark spots on the skin. Natural Skin Brightening Serum: How To Treat Hyperpigmentation LEARN MORE What Makes this Natural Skin Brightening Serum So Effective?

Everyone has different skin and can benefit from a good skincare routine. However, it's a misconception that using many products on your skin is healthy. In this case, the less the better. The more products you use in the a single routine, the higher the chances of adverse effects or... no effects! For example, using Retinol and Salicylic Acid in the same routine can over-sensitize your skin and make it especially dry. This can lead to other issues like overproduction of sebum, which can ultimately cause an acne breakout. Since you're likely using Salicylic Acid for its anti-acne benefits, you would be getting the opposite effect! How To Maintain An Effective Skincare Routine The first step to a good and healthy skincare routine is knowing your skin type. The primary skin types are combination skin, oily skin, dry skin, and normal or balanced skin. Knowing your skin type will help you determine what type of products to use and in which combination to use them in order to achieve healthy and clean skin. Plus, if you have a skin care goal such as eliminating breakouts, you have to study up on which ingredients are appropriate for your skin type that can help you accomplish that.

The fall season comes with tons of excitement. Weather changes accompany the transition from summer to fall season. Like the leaves change with the ushering in of fall, so does your skin. Generally, fall begins with pleasant temperatures. Its weather promotes outdoor activities like festivals and sports before the colder weather sets in. Your skin then retains little moisture due to the colder, drier air. Furthermore, the increased operation of heaters indoors also draws moisture from the air and makes your skin dry. These temperature changes require some adjustments to your skin care products to get your skin acclimated to the change in season. One of such skin care products is the Illuminate Serum that brightens and glows up the skin. Top Skincare Products to Try Out This Fall MOOD Illuminate Serum MOOD Calm Face Serum MOOD Defend Face Serum MOOD Elevate Face Serum Enjoy the Fall Weather While Protecting Your Skin With These Skincare Routine Tips Switch to a Thicker Moisturizer During summer, there's more humidity to help the skin retain moisture and protect its barrier. Due to environmental changes, switching to a thicker moisturizer is necessary. This weather change should be offset by adding extra moistness to the skin. Calm Face Serum has ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which helps to increase skin moisture, and niacinamide, which helps seal in the moisture added by the hyaluronic acid. Avoid Hot Showers Yes, avoid taking hot showers! Hot showers can irritate and dry out your skin and also worsen certain skin conditions like eczema. Take a lukewarm shower instead. Dab your skin dry and moisturize immediately afterward to lock in moisture. Add Vitamin C to Your Skin Care Routine The Elevate Face Serum contains vitamin C, a potent antioxidant. It helps safeguard the skin against damage caused by exposure to the sun and harmful free radicals. An ideal natural skin brightening serum contains vitamin C. It helps to lighten hyperpigmentation, even skin tone, and boost collagen production, thereby illuminating the skin. Use a Humidifier The central heating system inside your home draws out the moisture in the air, consequently drying out your skin. Dermatologists recommend humidifiers during the fall to add moistness to the atmosphere. Humidifiers boost hydration of the air and also your skin. Continue Using High SPF Sunscreen Everyday Just because it’s no longer summertime doesn’t mean you should stop wearing sunscreen. Sun damage due to UV radiation is a concern throughout all four seasons. UVA rays, responsible for skin cancer, are just as intense in the winter months as in the summertime. Always wear high SPF sunscreen even when it doesn't feel hot outside. The Defend Face Serum functions as a defensive armor against high-energy visible blue light and UV radiations. Eat Healthily Fall comes with many enjoyable traditions that can result in some very unhealthy eating habits. Trick-or-treating and other holiday celebrations can increase the consumption of processed foods such as sugary treats, hot dogs, casseroles, and chips. These foods contain a high glycemic index and carbs levels. These can lead to a spike in hormone and sugar levels and worsen skin conditions like acne. Always drink plenty of water to keep your skin constantly hydrated. Dress for the Fall. These temperature changes also require a change of wardrobe. As the weather gets colder, thicker clothes, long sleeves, gloves, and scarves can help safeguard your skin from the dry weather. Wearing sun-protective clothing like light-colored fabrics protects your skin by blocking damaging UV rays from the sun. Your skin needs extra nourishment and protection during the fall. Take proper care of your skin this fall with efficacious products like the Illuminate Serum, DEFEND Face Serum and others that help keep your skin moisturized, beautiful, glowing and healthy all season long. *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

Lip balm, also known as lip salve, is a wax-like substance applied topically to the lips to moisturize and relieve symptoms such as chapped or dry lips, stomatitis, or cold sores. Lip balm is a soft, emollient product designed to soften, hydrate, and protect the lips. It often comes in the form of a solid stick or sometimes in a pot or tiny round jars. It protects the lips from sun and wind while keeping the skin hydrated and crack-free. Lip balms are either clear or colored and can be applied directly with your fingers or with a Q-tip. How to choose the best essential oil for your skin type Avoid lip balms containing menthol, salicylic acid, camphor, phenol, or alcohol. These ingredients may provide an immediate cooling feeling but can irritate your skin. In some cases, they even remove the outer layers of the skin, leaving your lips unprotected, sensitive, and vulnerable to environmental hazards. They actually make your lips drier, just so you apply more, and it becomes a vicious cycle. Avoid lip balms containing fragrances and phthalates, flavors, and parabens. When it comes to lip balm, the simpler, the better. Fragrance and phthalates work hand in hand because phthalates are used to make the fragrance stay longer. And they have both been linked to adverse health issues such as reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, and cancer. Flavors and fragrances are added to lip balms to make them smell and taste better, but they can irritate your lips or cause allergies. Cinnamates are one of the most popular culprits which are often used for their sun-blocking properties and smell. Preservatives and antimicrobials like Parabens, which are contained in methylparaben and butylparaben, have very severe health effects. Look for ingredients like simple petroleum-based jelly products. These ingredients include glycerin, mineral oil, aloe vera, and lactic acid. Beeswax and vitamin E are great at sealing moisture in but can cause irritation if you have a sensitive skin. Beeswax contains natural emulsifiers that help retain moisture, making it an excellent alternative that for dry, chapped lips. It also protects the lips from UV rays. Vaseline or Aquaphor should do the trick for severely over-chapped lips but do not over-apply. Applying the right lip balm twice a day is usually enough.

Think you know sunscreen? In honor of Sunscreen Day on May 27th, we're dispelling myths and stating facts about something you should be wearing every day - or should you? 🤔 True or False: Get a base tan and you're protected. False! Although a base tan such as in a tanning salon may offer some minimal sun protection due to production of melanin in your skin, it is the equivalent of wearing an SPF of 4. For maximum benefits, protect your skin with an SPF of at least 30. True or False: Mineral sunscreens are healthier than chemical sunscreens. True! While any sunscreen is better than no sunscreen, chemical sunscreens have an increasing number of contraindications, including hormone disruption and carcinogens. Lookout for and avoid ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, and avobenzone. Instead, use mineral sunscreens that contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. The latter has a slightly wider range of protection and is present in DEFEND SPF 30 Daily Sunscreen Serum. True or False: Applying sunscreen every two hours is often enough. Nope! Sweating, swimming and toweling off will make your SPF wear off faster. Reapply often, especially after a dip in the pool or ocean. True or False: Sunscreen can expire. True. Check your tube of sunscreen for the expiration date. When sunscreen ages, the performance ingredients won’t work as well as a fresh batch since chemical formulas can lose potency and change over time, especially when they’ve been exposed to heat and sunlight. If your block is older than a year old, it’s probably time to purchase a new one – and to use more product! You shouldn’t have much left once the season is over. True or False: Always wear sunscreen, even when it is cloudy. True! Even if the sun isn’t visible, the danger of UVA and UVB rays is still present, with up to 80% of the UV rays penetrating your skin. Some of the worst burns happen on cloudy days so always pack the sunblock. True or False: It is best to wait until you get to the beach to apply SPF. False. Ideally, you should put on your sunblock a solid 30 minutes prior to exposure to the sun. This way, your skin receives the most benefits and protection. The important thing is to use it so if sunblock slips your mind, just apply it as soon as you remember. But aim for a half hour before you go outside whenever possible. DEFEND Daily Sunscreen Serum + Hyaluronic Acid Serum makes it easy to add sunscreen to your daily skin care routine. MOOD's commitment to clean, effective and efficient skin care is most evident in this hydrating serum that offers protection against blue light (HEV) and UV rays, while deeply hydrating and nourishing skin. One of the typical drawbacks of using a mineral sunscreen is that it can leave a white cast. However, DEFEND was formulated to go on clear while providing longer-lasting protection due to its inclusion of blueberry seed oil. Like any sunscreen, DEFEND should be reapplied after being in the water or wiping with a towel. What makes DEFEND different is that it repairs and hydrates while offering SPF 30 protection for your skin. It contains triple-weight hyaluronic acid which hydrates multiple layers of skin, while Vitamin C detoxes cells by neutralizing free radicals, and Niacinamide regulates sebum (oil) production. Celebrate Sunscreen Day on May 27th by sharing these facts with your friends and family, and save on DEFEND Daily Sunscreen Serum! *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month and the perfect time to explore this issue and ways to deal with outbreaks. More than 14 million people in the United States currently are living with this skin condition. Although anyone can get rosacea, commonalities exist among the following: - fair-skinned, having Celtic or Scandinavian ancestry - between 30 and 50 years of age - having a family history of rosacea - personal history of acne. Women are more likely than men to get rosacea but men generally get a more severe form of the skin condition. Redness forms across the nose and cheeks which can be triggered by any number of factors like stress, food, beverages and sunlight. The actual cause of rosacea isn’t known but it may be connected to a bacterium - a mite that is found in everyone’s skin or possibly the H. Pylori bug. While there is no cure for rosacea, there are ways to manage it. Here are a few ways to calm and avoid rosacea flareups: De-stress your life: many people share stress as a trigger. If you do, find an activity to lower your stress like meditation, breath work or exercise. Limit your time in the sun: rosacea can be activated by exposure to the sun so protect your skin with an SPF of 30 or higher, wear a baseball cap or wide-brimmed hat to keep sun off your cheeks and if you’re spending time outside, find some shade and spend time there. Stay cool: heat can cause a flare up so opt for a warm shower rather than a hot one, dress in layers so you can get cool faster and keep cold water in your water bottle when you exercise. Lay off spicy foods: try a diet of mild foods to see if spicy foods may be your trigger. Limit alcohol: red wine can be a trigger so select a different drink and stick to one or two drinks at a time, noting if alcohol is causing a flare up. Another way to help your rosacea-impacted skin is to select the right products that calm and soothe your skin. CALM Face Serum is the best hyaluronic acid serum helps with rosacea because it contains: Triple-weight hyaluronic acid, which hydrates multiple layer of tissue unlike other hyaluronic acid serums that only address the surface. Therapy-grade lavender oil, which helps reduce inflammation and redness, effectively calming skin. Hemp-derived CBD, which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant to address environmental factors that can be provoking rosacea flareups while reducing inflammation. Manage your rosacea flareups with soothing CALM Face Serum. *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

Did you know? Moods are not emotions. A mood is defined as a temporary state of mind or feeling. From good to foul and everything in between, we know when we’re experiencing a mood and others can sense it. Unlike emotions, moods are a general feeling, not a strong reaction to a situation. Moods can last for hours or days while emotions normally last a few minutes, although they are more intense. As a mood-management brand that combines clinic-grade skin care, aromatherapy and edibles, MOOD will be sharing lots of science-backed content on how to feel better - consistently.

Earth Day may act as a yearly reminder to take care of Mother Earth, but as with any goals, real results require consistent action. And being kinder to our host can be part of our daily routines, including our skin care. Our team implemented sustainability practices in their lives. Switching to an electric car and being diligent about recycling are well-known steps to reduce your carbon footprint. Although most such efforts can be questionable - for example, where does our recycling really go? - doing a combination of sustainable routines does have a positive impact. While pondering Earth Day campaigns, we've tasked our team to implement at least one sustainability practice for a minimum of 30 days. Here are a few things they came up with: 1. Reusing water bottles. Our administrative assistant, Christina, loves the convenience that SmartWater sports bottles provide. She particularly appreciates the nozzle that makes it easy to drink and less likely to spill. Instead of buying a new one every day that she goes to the gym, she kept two and continued to refill them. 2. Reusing snack bags. Instead of using a new sandwich bag for each snack, our social content manager, Aurora, decided to reuse her plastic bags. After 30 days, she estimated that she saved over 100 sandwich bags without any inconvenience to her. She even implemented a reward for her kids to bring back their snack bags! 3. Meal prepping. It's not just for your health! Several of our team members made a pact to prepare their meals on Sundays. By preparing food ahead of time, they were using less fuel, decreased their going out and UberEats orders - which decreases fuel consumption - and benefits their health. Sustainability can exist in your skin care. One practice we are all keenly aware of at MOOD is sustainable skin care! Sustainability isn't just about packaging - although PCR certainly helps - but in how we use skin care. Skinimalism, the trend of using minimal skin care products for maximum results, is a way of life at MOOD. Not only does this save packaging, shipping and fuel resources, but it can also make products more effective and take you less time! Consider the typical multi-step routine: (1) Cleanser. (2) Toner. (3) Serum. (4) Eye cream. (5) Moisturizer. (6) Retinoid (PM). (7) Face oil. (8) SPF. If all are used, that is eight products for which 8 types of packaging, shipping and stabilization ingredients are needed. Let's skinimalize it! You can effectively minimize this long-winded routine into three steps: (1) Cleanser. We recommend using a cleanser with clean ingredients that is specific to your skin type. (2) Toner. You don't have to use toner daily, but if you do, we recommend using botanical-based toners such as those containing green tea. (3) Serum + Treat + Hydrate + Face Oil + SPF. MOOD's DEFEND Blue Light Protection + Hyaluronic Acid Serum effectively takes care of multiple steps, while also containing Niacinamide to regulate sebum (oil) production to reduce breakouts! Talk about a time saver. Reduce your carbon footprint - and your skin care time - with DEFEND Blue Light Protection + Hyaluronic Acid Serum *These statements are found to be accurate as of the time this blog is published.

71% of Americans say they check their phones within the first 10 minutes of waking up in the morning. Could you turn off the television, power down your smartphone and unplug your laptop? Maybe you will be more inspired to do so after learning some of the mental, physical and skin benefits unplugging has, below! Mental Health Benefits of Unplugging Research shows that one in three people felt worse after visiting Instagram and more unhappy with their lives. Meta, the brand behind Facebook and Instagram, has been diligently working to provide resources for people who are negatively affected by social media - because it really is a big problem. Even the most keen of people sometimes forget that social media is one big highlight reel, which can cause them to play the comparison game which cannot be won. Social media, texting, voice notes, emails - we love to hate them! We polled 20 business owners and asked them to check which app they use the most on their phone. Across the board, Instagram and texting were at the very top of the list. But emails? About 40% had it in their top 4-10 apps, 40% said they only answer emails on their desktop and a whopping 20% said they have someone else managing their emails! The latter admitted that it helps them be more productive and having a filter of an extra person in between helps them better respond, rather than react.
