Why Use Natural & Organic Skin Care Products?


Hello! I’m Emmie, a nurse with over 30 years of experience and holds a doctorate in nursing degree. My journey through life - caring for my health and that of my patients, and my advanced education have deepened my appreciation for the miracle of the human body and the genius behind its creation.

Our organs, tissues, cells, and immune system work tirelessly to keep us healthy. Staying well requires effort and intentional habits. While some illnesses are beyond our control, we can influence our health by being mindful of what we put in and on our bodies.

We carefully choose the foods, drinks, supplements, and medicines we consume to maintain or improve our health. But what about the products we apply to our skin? Our skin, the largest organ of the body, covering about 20 square feet, absorbs everything it encounters, including potentially harmful chemicals and preservatives in many skincare products. This is why many people opt for organic and natural skincare products.

During the early COVID-19 pandemic, I started creating my own skincare products, beginning with hand sanitizers and progressing to body and facial lotions that are chemical-free and nourishing. I loved the results so much that I made more as gifts for family and friends.

This inspired me to share the benefits of natural and organic plant-based products that provide moisture, softness, protection, and potential healing. Thus, Dr. Em Natural Skin and Hair Care was born! While we may never fully understand all the benefits of using chemical-free, natural, and organic products, it’s gratifying to know we’re taking great care of our miraculous bodies. 

I say, LOVE YOUR SKIN AND IT WILL LOVE YOU BACK!

Why Retinol For Skin Care?

  WHY RETINOL FOR SKIN CARE? When it comes to skincare, retinol (ROL) is often hailed as a miracle worker, slowing down the aging process and even tackling stubborn acne. But what exactly is this wonder ingredient?  Retinol is a form of vitamin A, derived from the dietary breakdown of beta-carotene. When we munch on vibrant fruits and veggies—think red, orange, yellow, and dark green—our bodies transform these colorful delights into various retinoids. Vitamin A isn’t just a one-trick pony; it’s essential for maintaining healthy teeth, bones, mucous membranes, skin, and soft tissues. However, before you rush to stock up on vitamin A supplements, remember that more isn’t always better. Excessive intake can be harmful and may even increase your cancer risk, so it’s best to stick to your physician’s advice. Retinoids in cosmetics, like creams and moisturizers, often come as retinyl acetate, retinyl propionate, or retinyl palmitate. It’s crucial to remember that these topical ret...

Gratitude for Nature’s Beauty

As an avid gardener, I cannot help but be in awe of how beautiful each plant can be when given the care they need to thrive. I have put forth much effort early this year to water, fertilize, and spend time with my plants. And they reciprocated my efforts with an array of beauty this September. My life got so interesting and so busy since I’ve embarked on a new adventure in the skin care business. When I needed to decompress and took the time to breathe, my plants were there to give me joy, reminding me to slow down and that.... life is beautiful just like they are. To this, I am grateful and more importantly, to the Creator of this beautiful earth and the things and people in it. As you think of your skin, think of how you care for your plants. Give it its best chance to thrive - by using nutrient-rich and natural ingredients along with your time and attention.  Be beautiful inside and out.  Dr. Em https://www.dremnatural.com/

Retinol in Skin Care

When it comes to our skin, we know that products with retinol (ROL) can slow down the aging of our skin and may even cure acne. But what is retinol? Retinol is vitamin A, which is derived from dietary hydrolysis of beta carotene. When we eat foods rich in beta carotene (fruits and vegetables with red, orange, yellow, and dark green pigments), our body metabolically converts them to different forms of retinoids. Vitamin A is important to maintain healthy teeth, bones, mucous membranes, skin, and soft tissues. Know however, that taking vitamin A supplement is not advisable (unless your physician prescribes it) because it is harmful when taken in excess (that is, it may increase your cancer risk).  Retinoids that are specifically formulated for cosmetics, such as topical creams and moisturizers are in the form of retinyl acetate, retinyl propionate, or retinyl palmitate. A very important fact to remember is that topical retinoids can cause dryness, redness, burning, and irritation of...
