Dr. Em Natural Beauty Care is One Year Old

 


Hello all! Can you believe that Dr. Em celebrated its one year anniversary this past August? And I have you to thank! I am grateful that we are all enjoying a lifestyle where we care about our health and wellness by staying away from products with synthetic chemicals and preservatives. Even a simple lotion you buy at the supermarket has so much harmful things in it that it's mind boggling why it continues to take space in store shelves! Well, not really mind boggling. Habits are hard to change and large companies control the narrative and our life literally. It would have been a different story if we happen to live in the UK. Many of the known chemicals that put people at risk for cancer and other medical disorders have now been removed from their health and beauty products. Perhaps, our great grandchildren's generation may see this change in our country. I sure hope so.....

 I believe we can do something small but hopefully with big consequences - by being good examples to our family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. Share the products you use and why you use it. The Creator of this earth knew well what is good for us - plants and ingredients derived from plants. We need to take advantage of what nature makes and gives us. When we use ingredients from nature, our bodies respond positively to it because our bodies were designed to respond to it. Our skin condition improves and perhaps healing may even occur. And, we can sleep knowing that we are taking care of the only body we've been given charge to care for and nurture. 

It is quite gratifying to hear stories from many of you who have seen significant improvements in your skin texture, condition, and overall skin appearance. I don't take full credit for the positive changes you are experiencing. I am mainly an instrument of someone who knows more than I do. I just happen to listen to the inspiration, use my secular knowledge and education to find out about those ingredients, and then put them together in a formulation that works. Fortunately, I don't have to be a chemist to be an organic skin care formulator. These words are from a famous skin care formulator and instructor in Europe. I just need passion and persistence to do what I have been doing this past year. And I hope to continue to love what I do and be there for you for many years to come.

I would love it if you keep in touch by responding here or in my other blog posts.

Much love,

Dr. Em

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/

Endocrine Disruptors in Skin Care and Food Products

 The concept of endocrine disruptors may be foreign to some of you, but there are many of you who struggle with endocrine disorders and are somewhat familiar with this topic. A beautiful customer I met this weekend (Lisa) inspired me to write about this topic rather than choosing an easier way of sending her links to read. As someone who has had so much graduate schooling and years in nursing, I know just where to find correct information and understand the medical lingo quite well. I am also a patient with a major endocrine disorder and with several family members suffering from thyroid disorders. So I can come in from both perspectives. The endocrine system is quite responsive/sensitive to man-made or natural chemicals that come in contact with it. Its function can easily be copied, changed, or halted depending on the chemical. The consequence may have an effect on your brain, immune system, reproductive system, and many other problems or symptoms that are sometimes hard to medi...

Decisions Decisions: Lotion Bar, Watery Lotion, Cream, Body Butter?

I read a while back that the  more choices we have, the more complex our life can become. It does make sense, but I see it from a time management perspective. Imagine you are standing at the lotion isle of a supermarket. Would it be quicker if there were only 2 choices to choose from? If you knew what you wanted, it might just take you a second. But what if you went to the store thinking that you needed a better lotion? Well... you might as well plan to be there for a good several minutes. Not only are there hundreds of brands to choose from, you also need to decide if you want lotion, cream, butter, with this ingredient, with that ingredient, the pretty jar, the cute bottle, etc. etc. And if you read ingredients like me, you'll be there a little longer.  Your decision is basically based on several factors including the following: cost and value, preference and knowledge, and past experience. These factors play a huge part in how and what you choose. Your past experience with ...
