Krayna named the oil “elementary” because it can form the basis of every step of everyday skin care. When will it work best?
Protective skincare.
Cleansing.
Hair care.
Reducing scars & healing.
PROTECTIVE. A crucial element of taking care of our skin is ensuring the ingredients help maintain the lipid barrier of the epidermis. Face creams can do this job, however, sometimes our skin needs a “boost” in the form of a lubricant dose so that the stratum corneum can properly hold in water and effectively perform a protective function from external factors (sun, air pollution, microbes). Krayna oil can be used for this purpose in different ways:
* Apply a few drops on the skin after the prior use of a serum or cream – in the morning or at night; this method is dedicated to skin that is dehydrated, sensitive, vascular, and atopic; it helps keep water in the epidermis, corrects the softness and elasticity of dry, rough skin;
* Mix a few drops of oil with a cream in your hand (mixes without a problem with Krayna AY creams), next apply to the skin – in the morning or at night; this way is especially liked by oily and mixed skin – it does not leave an unfavourable layer on the skin;
* Apply it on to clean and lightly moist (after cleansing, after the use of a toner) skin and delicately rub in – in the evening; this method of skin care is for all skin in need of an improvement of hydration, elasticity, and calming.
CLEANSING. Removing makeup and cleansing the skin is an essential part of skincare, conditioning everyday hygiene, as well as the safety of using creams and other cosmetics products. For active products in serums and creams to correctly absorb, we must enable them by cleaning the surface of the epidermis and intercellular spaces, which are the routes of penetration into the deeper layers of the skin. Firstly, we should remove makeup or whatever remains. Skin coloring products contain pigment particles, which should be properly “removed” from the skin. Even if makeup is not used, cleansing the skin in the morning and the evening is necessary to keep it healthy.
Cleaning the skin supports the naturally occurring process of exfoliation of the epidermis. Moreover, in the morning residues of care products used in the evening are washed off – leftover creams, sunscreens, and particles of impurities adhering to the air, e.g., dust, and pollen.
Classic makeup removing and cleansing skin products contain surfactants (foaming, collecting impurities), thickeners, opacifying ingredients, dyes, and preservatives – all of which can irritate and dry the skin. This is exactly why cleansing the skin with natural oils has many advantages.
They perfectly dissolve makeup, and remove impurities from the surface of the skin that accumulate during the day, without damaging the lipid barrier of the epidermis.
Their low-irritating potential is a unique advantage compared to classic makeup-removing gels and foams, Krayna’s elementary oil perfectly fits our safe cleaning skin philosophy – its elementary composition is devoid of irritating substances that are commonly added to cleansing cosmetics.
* Apply a few drops of Krayna’s oil into your palms, next massage into dry facial skin with makeup applied. In circular motions massage the oil in, whilst avoiding near the eyes. After dissolving the makeup on the skin, clean off with lukewarm water (with hands, a cotton pad, or a makeup-removing towel).
* During evening skincare to cleanse the skin on the face, neck, and neckline put a few drops of Krayna’s oil into your hands, next massage into water-moistened skin. In circular motions massage the oil in, avoiding the area near the eyes. Wash off with your hands, a cotton pad, or a makeup-removing towel.
* Krayna’s oil is a perfect product for OCM (Oil Cleansing Method).
HAIR CARE. Healthy hair adds beauty. Unfortunately, hair growth and structure disorders are common problems. Sometimes it is the result of a medical condition within the scalp or a systematic disease. Often, physical or chemical factors cause the structure of the hair shaft to change through trauma. Hair does not enjoy excessive or too aggressive brushing, thermal treatments (drying, straightening), intense exposure to sunlight for too long, bleaching, bathing in salt water, scratching, or rubbing the scalp. It becomes dry, breakable, matted, and fragile.
Healthy hair has well-adhering cells of the hair sheath (commonly called “cuticle”). For the hair shaft to be smooth and look healthy, you can help “close the cuticle” by using natural oils. Krayna’s elementary oil can be used:
* Oiling the hair while wet or dry – oiling is a process that improves the condition and appearance of the hair, especially highly porous hair.
* For conditioning the ends of the hair after washing – the oil can be applied on wet or dry ends – after rubbing a few drops into your hands, comb through the ends with your fingers like a comb;
* For the care of facial hair – apply Krayna’s oil to the beard and moustache after rubbing a few drops in your hands. It can be used in the morning and does not dye clothes, so it wont stain the shirt or collar.
CARING FOR SCARS/STRETCH MARKS. Stretch marks are parallel, spindle-shaped bands of thinned skin. They form gradually because of the reduced susceptibility of the skin to stretching. In a stretch mark, the collagen and elastin fibres are damaged and misaligned. The formation of a stretch mark may be accompanied by itching and burning. Both “fresh” (red, blush) and “matured” (white fading lines) require care if we want to reduce their visibility. Scars have many characteristics just like stretch marks – the epidermis is smoothed, normal supporting fibres (collagen and elastin) disappear and a reddish colour in the beginning period.
The first 12 months are its process of maturation. This is a time when proper skin care can reduce the visibility of the scar and limit its shrinkage, often associated with discomfort, a feeling of “pulling” the skin, and itching The primary recommendation in caring for scars and stretch marks is massaging them. Its effectiveness has been proven by research and is recommended by dermatologists, surgeons, and physiotherapists. For the massage to proceed properly, without excessively stretching the skin, it is best to use a lubricant, e.g., oil.
Krayna’s elementary oil would be a great choice in the case of both stretch marks on the breasts, thighs, and buttocks, as well as for post-operative scars (in the maturation phase, i.e., after a minimum of 3 weeks from the wound healing).
A massage with Krayna’s elementary oil has a positive effect on scars and stretch marks by improving hydration and water retention (restraining scar growth), softening effect, and stimulating the regeneration of the epidermis.
* On skin with stretch marks or scars, apply a few drops of Krayna’s oil and massage a few times a day for a few minutes. Massage along the scar/stretch marks, do not excessively stretch the skin.
Only for external use. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Store at room temperature, do not expose to sunlight for prolonged periods.
