Logona
„You look gorgeous today. How do you do that?“ There is no better compliment like such a question to express the success of a care series. It seems like the face is a true mirror of the soul. Stress, troubles, little sleep and continuous use of nicotine are as visible as a healthy diet, regular skin care and inner peace. The former can be concealed a little bit, but also the latter can be profitably emphasised. A fresh looking face generates sympathy and is therefore often a reason for success, both in private and business. A positive charisma does not come from nothing. If negative effects, which thread skin every day, are not properly counterbalanced, skin may react quite angrily. Stress and lack of care is sometimes answered with a pale, tired looking and - in the extreme - spotted face. Even if treatment is done immediately, skin react over-sensitive in will take an extensively long time for recovery, enjoying the care, until it finally shows its satisfaction to the outside world through clear skin appearance. If skin was asked about its requirements, the answer would be quite clear: cleaning should be especially gentle, moisturising gels should be especially refreshing, crèmes should be especially regenerating and protection against dehydrating should be especially high. As lips neither have sweat or sebaceous glands to produce own moisture, efforts for their care should not be limited to wintertime only. The secret of a beautiful face is unveiled comparatively quickly. It is a thank you from skin for perfect care.
Logona trusts on the gentle forces of nature. Valuable plant oils provide skin with agents that support skin's natural appearance. For cleaning, especially gentle and non-irritating washing detergents and moisturising care components are used, which activate skin's blood circulation and its vital functions. Special combinations of active agents of anti-inflammatory and healing extracts are basis for a smooth and clear skin. Logona day crèmes support skin's top hydro-lipid layer by adding additional moisture. Logona night crèmes transport active and caring agents into the skin, to stimulate skin's self-healing forces and to support its regeneration.
Different skin types should be treated with different active agents. For impure skin, Logona has the care series Clear Skin. A non-irritating cleaning foam, which can be rinsed off easily, as well as anti-bacterial face water clear the skin and release it from excess skin oil. The main ingredients are sage and mint. The light moisturising fluid additionally activates skin's own healing and regeneration processes. Also the other Logona series were especially developed for treatment of different skin types. Logona rose series comes with calming agents for dry skin, Logona aloe supports with activating ingredients sensitive skin and Logona witch hazel meets the requirements of combination skin with balancing plant extracts.
Skin's ageing process starts with birth already, but not until the mid-twenties the signs of time will become visible as first changes of skin. Responsible for this ageing of skin are, besides genetic pre-sets, mostly external factors. Besides environmental impacts, our life style is contributing mainly to accelerating or slowing down skin ageing. Stress, little sleep, unbalanced diet as well as alcohol and nicotine consumption damage our skin. It can appear more and more tired and pale.
Around the age of 25, skin's metabolism and cell regeneration slows down for anyone. Skin has more difficulties to keep nutrients and moisture. With rising age, collagen is exploited in deeper skin layers. With the accompanying deficiency of moisture, skin is loosing its tautness and strength. The heyday for free radicals has come. Free radicals (oxidants) are extraordinarily reactive molecules which can damage skin cells. To unfold their damaging forces, free radicals need a partner. Cigarette fumes are perfect. But also UV-rays, extreme heat and polluted air support free radicals equally aggressively. Free radicals start their attacks already at birth. In young years skin still has sufficient active countermeasures. Anti-oxidants battle and eliminate oxidants successfully. This natural defence system of skin against outside harm looses its effectivity in later years, caused by a rising shortage of moisture and decelerated cell regeneration.
Signs of time can not be prevent forever. But wrinkling of skin can be minimised or even delayed by a conscious life style and suitable care. Basis of Logona's skin care series Age Protection are scientific research results about natural skin functions.
With the development of Age Protection, Logona relies on a caring supply with moisture and a effective stimulation of skin functions. Lagona Age Protection was developed to especially meet the requirements of matured and demanding skin. The combination of three perfectly concerted modules ensure a high-effective and natural care system: concentrated vegetable agents, natural moisturisers and valuable vegetable oils support the correction of deficiencies and the build-up of an intact hydro-lipid film. Completely cared for with protecting care, skin keeps its presence and healthy vitality. Lagona natural cosmetic protects and grooms skin with the gentle energy of plants. Phytocosmetic agents and valuable vegetable oils supply your skin with everything it needs, to preserve its presence and natural beauty.
Highly sensitive and allergic skin is put for some of us right into the cradle. The consequences are just the same: for a pleasant and soft skin feeling and a smooth and gentle skin all critical substances in care products have to be checked carefully. Chemical and artificial fragrances and colorants are such critical substances, as well as all ingredients with allergic potential. Especially fragrances often contain substances that can cause intolerances and allergic reactions on sensitive skin. Logona natural cosmetics series Free is especially made to suit the needs of extremely sensitive skin. Logona Free products are tested for allergic potential and are absolutely perfume-free. To minimize the risk of intolerances, a simple recipe and mild active agents and moisturising substances ensure a levelled skin balance. Skin's acid mantle is gently supported by vegetable ingredients such as grape seed oil, almond oil and jojoba oil. This is how especially sensitive skin can find its natural balance again, ensuring a relaxed start into the day.
Hair makes people. Everyone knows about the impact of well-groomed hair. Our appearance is mainly determined by our hair color and style. Today it is quite easy to find the perfect hairstyle and optimal hair color that suits every need. Hair care has the same status as skin care or proper clothes.
A new hair color can mean a lot: from coverage of first grey hairs to complete change of style. Modern, industrial hair care industries are capable of fulfilling nearly every wish. Therefore it is most important to be aware of long-term effects of these sophisticated chemical formulations. Not every change of hair which has a nice short-term effect is reversible in the long run or without consequences. The effects of synthetic hair dye are based on chemical reactions. Through oxidation some color pigments of the hair are destroyed and replaced by pigments contained in the dye. In this process it can not be ruled out that harmful substances enter the body via the scalp.
Logona follows a different approach with its herbal hair colors. These colorants penetrate only the outer hair layers and accumulate there. As the natural color pigments shine through the ones of the herbal color, a natural color is generated as a mixture of natural color and original one. Without changing hair's natural structures, one can put new nuances into hair color, enhancing it or set single highlights. Logona herbal hair colors are no washable hair tints. As natural color and herbal hair color merge, neither durability, nor final color result can be determined in advance or even standardised. With a tester streak one is always on the safe side. Logona herbal hair colors are composed of finely ground henna and diverse herbs and fruits. Valuable herbal care agents like wheat protein and jojoba oil care sustainably for the hair even while dying it. Hair structure is enhanced visibly, hair gets more volume and easier to comb. Logona herbal hair color as powder is mixed with boiling water - or, if one prefers a stronger color, with black tea or coffee - until a smooth paste is generated, which can be applied easily.
With Logona herbal hair colors Color Cream this step can be avoided. Logona Color Cremes can be applied without further preparations.
Herbal hair colors of Logona are free of synthetic colorants, fragrances and preservatives, as well as free of peroxides, ammonia and other chemical substances.
What is more attractive than shining, healthy looking hair? Hair is flattering the face, making it look softer, more interesting and giving it more nuances. But brilliant hair is not a matter of chance. The number of hairs varies according to hair type. While blonde people have 150.000 hairs on average, red-haired people will only have a little more than half of this. Every single hair will become 4 to 7 years old. Reason enough to take care for the requirements of hair precisely. As well as skin, hair reacts on lack of vitamins, imbalanced diet, changes in hormone levels and stress. Hair roots take in nutrients. If this supply is reduced or interrupted, the hair might become toneless and brittle. But also a mistreatment of hair can result in fatal outcome. Everyone knows fascinating footage of single hairs under the microscope, looking like magnified pine cones.
Several layers of scales lie onto each other and protect the inner part of the hair. If these protective layers are damaged, the inner fibre layers and hair core are subject to environmental influences.
Who has not felt compassion with crying children suffering from shampoo in their eyes? Responsible for this are most likely aggressive tensides. Tensides can not be avoided in shampoos and shower gels, as they are responsible for cleaning action. Water alone is not capable of removing fat and dirt particles from the hair. Production of tensides is a sophisticated chemical process. The softer the tensides, the more complex - and therefore more expensive - the process. And the more expensive the product. Logona shampoos do not contain any synthetic tensides. To make especially gentle, mild and skin-friendly shampoos, Logona relies on tensides made from renewable raw materials. The detergents in Logona shampoos come fro sugar tensides. For those who want to rule out tensides completely, we recommend Logona Rhassoul. This natural cleaning force is also known as Ghassoul or cleaning clay. The mining areas of Rhassoul differ sometimes, but the effect of rhassoul is always the same. Rhassoul is mixed with water until it forms a paste. This paste is massaged into hair and scalp. Extremely fine ground clay particles merge with dirt and fat to a new mass. When rinsing the hair, all these are removed from the hair completely. The natural protective layer of scalp and hair therefore stays absolutely unchanged. Naturally, everyone knows best which hair care is best for him or her.
Reason for colourless, life-less hair can just be an unsuitable shampoo. Especially, if it was not rinsed off completely. Logona offers shampoos for most diverse requirements. Henna, camomile and hazelnut can, depending on hue, even intensify luminosity of dyed hair. Wheat bran and calendula regenerate hair suffering from spliss. Dry scalps, tending to dandruffs, can be calmed with stinging nettle, rosemary or juniper oil. Beer and honey give volume to the hair. The usage of synthetic colorants or fragrances, silicone or paraffin is avoided. Logona only relies on the effects of vegetable ingredients.
Brilliantly white teeth. A perfect smile and fresh breath. Who would not consider this as attractive? A nice mouth tells more than a thousand words. The uppermost layer tooth layer contains the hardest material in the human body: dental enamel. As this dental enamel is not networked by nerves, one does not realise that it is permanently under environmental attack. It is only after dental enamel has been damaged on some spots that pain-sensitive areas behind can be felt.
One reason for the increasing number of successful attacks is our nutrition today. This does not only include food containing sugar or starch, which are already known to support build-up of aggressive dental plague corroding dental enamel, but also a health-conscious diet. Time is money and so time for meals is limited to empty spots in an overfilled time planner. Still one considers three litres of fluid and loads of vitamins. Body, skin and hair appreciate that. But citrus fruits, apples and fruit juice mixes attack teeth with their acids just as effervescent tablets of many dietary supplements do. Normally one can trust on self-defence capabilities of the throat section without worrying. Saliva, which acts alkaline ant anti-bacterial, ensures a balanced mouth climate. But too much acid and too much plague may outperform this natural protective mechanism.
The Logodent tooth and mouth care series is based on scientific evidence, as well as on traditional recipes from herbal cosmetics. Vegetable agents like Echinacea, anise, green tea or clove oil counteract bacteria causing plague and caries. Myrrh, hamamelis and camomile strengthen gums and avoid inflammations. Harmful deposits are removed by finely ground silica and sea salt without attacking dental enamel.
Besides tooth care there are more ways to support an attractive mouth. Hearty laughing helps. Frequent kissing also. An intensive French kiss activates 30 face, mouth and jaw muscles. This does not only activate blood circulation and metabolism, but skin relaxes also. Wrinkles are diminished. The only requirement: a partner is needed. And what may be the most important thing for this potential partner: beautiful teeth!
