Introducing LACTIC ACID CLEANSER

Angelpaste Miracle Cream + Lactic Acid: Advanced Barrier Treatment

Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid is an advanced barrier-repair treatment that blends the intense nourishment of raw, waterless botanical lipids with the skin-renewing power of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). By combining our signature moisture-locking base with a gentle, slow-release concentration of L-lactic acid, this clinical-grade paste simultaneously dissolves dull surface cells while actively forcing the skin to manufacture its own hydration shield.

Core Formulation Benefits

  • Dual-Action Barrier Fortification: While traditional Angelpaste coats the skin in unrefined plant oils to prevent moisture loss, the added lactic acid works beneath the surface. It stimulates ceramide biosynthesis inside your skin cells, structurally repairing a damaged lipid barrier from the inside out.

  • Flawless High-Refractive Glow: The formula retains its famous waterless, light-reflecting oil blend. However, by gently melting away the rough, dead skin cells that cause a dull complexion, the lactic acid allows the luminous paste to sit perfectly even, creating a hyper-smooth, "glass skin" finish.

  • Deeply Penetrating Humectants: Because lactic acid is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), it acts like a water-magnet. When layered beneath the rich, unrefined nut oils of the paste, it traps moisture into the deeper layers of the epidermis, providing relief for severe dryness and eczema.

  • Accelerated Cell Turnover: It targets rough texture, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines without stripping the skin. The slow-release, low-pH environment ensures active exfoliation while completely eliminating the flaking or irritation commonly caused by harsher acids.

Scientific Proof: The Ceramide-Boosting Power of Lactic Acid

Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid is not just a surface-level moisturizer; it is a scientifically proven catalyst for skin-barrier repair. Clinical research demonstrates that topical lactic acid fundamentally changes how your skin hydrates itself.

  • Direct Stimulation of Ceramide Biosynthesis: Landmark dermatological studies reveal that application of L-lactic acid directly stimulates keratinocytes (skin cells) to increase the production of ceramides. One prominent clinical trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology demonstrated that topical application of lactic acid resulted in a substantial increase in total ceramide levels within the stratum corneum, leading to a drastically more resilient skin barrier.

  • Enhanced Resistance to Dryness (Xerosis): Research confirms that this ceramide boost is not just structural—it is highly functional. In clinical testing, skin treated with lactic acid showed a measurable decrease in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and a significant increase in resistance against severe dryness and flaking, outperforming traditional moisturizers that merely sit on top of the skin.

  • Optimized Lipid Synthesis Enzymes: Lactic acid temporarily optimizes the skin’s pH environment, activating the specific enzymes responsible for building the lipid matrix. Instead of just replacing lost moisture with external oils, this formula trains your skin to actively synthesize its own protective "glue," locking in hydration from the inside out.

How It Works: The Cellular Activation Process

Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid triggers a three-step cellular process that transforms dry, compromised skin into a self-hydrating shield.

  • Step 1: Enzyme Activation via pH Optimization
    Upon application, the low-pH lactic acid micro-exfoliates the skin surface. This slight acidification creates the perfect environment to activate beta-glucocerebrosidase—the exact enzyme your body requires to assemble skin lipids.

  • Step 2: Intracellular Ceramide Synthesis
    The formula utilizes the biologically active L-lactic acid isomer. Skin cells (keratinocytes) absorb this molecule and metabolize it as a direct carbon source, using it as raw fuel to manufacture new ceramides right inside the epidermis.

  • Step 3: The Lipid-Lock Matrix
    As the newly synthesized ceramides rise to the surface, they interlock with Angelpaste's raw, waterless botanical oils. This builds a dense lipid matrix that traps water in the deeper skin layers, permanently blocking environmental irritants and stopping moisture evaporation.

Texture and Application

This variation retains a dense, buttery, paste-like consistency that melts into a silky oil upon contact with skin warmth. Because it contains active AHAs, it is best applied exclusively during your evening skincare routine to clean, slightly damp skin.

Directions for Use

For optimal results, incorporate this active treatment into your evening skincare routine two to three times per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

So first, when the daylight has faded we take the Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid and put a fair amount on the skin and massage for 2 minutes avoiding the actual eyes and lids. Then get a wet wash cloth and wipe away gently. Then apply miracle mist after you’ve wiped it away or water if you don’t have the mist. Then add glow drops and massage in. Then if you use Angelpaste Miracle Cream on your face you can use that to lock it all in. (If you’re acne prone skip this step.)

Important Warnings

Please review these safety precautions carefully before your first application:

  • Sun Sensitivity Warning:This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a mineral sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for one week afterward.

  • Patch Test First:
    Apply a tiny amount of the paste to a discreet patch of skin (like your inner wrist or jawline) 24 hours before full facial use to check for adverse allergic reactions.

  • Avoid Ingredient Layering:
    Do not use this product in the same routine as Retinol, Salicylic Acid (BHA), or other strong exfoliating acids to prevent severe skin irritation or barrier damage.

  • For External Use Only:
    Keep out of reach of children. If the product accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Discontinue use immediately if persistent redness, burning, or irritation occurs.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I use this product every night?
    Start by using it 2 to 3 nights per week. As your skin adapts to the lactic acid, you can gradually increase usage to every night if your skin tolerates it without irritation.

  • Will the lactic acid cause my skin to purge?
    Because lactic acid accelerates cell turnover, some users may experience mild, temporary purging (small breakouts) as deep-seated impurities rise to the surface. This typically resolves within 2 to 4 weeks.

  • Can I layer this with my prescription Retin-A or Retinol?
    No. We highly recommend using them on alternate nights. Layering lactic acid directly with retinoids drastically increases the risk of redness, peeling, and moisture barrier damage.

The Benefits You’ll Feel Countering Dry Skin

  • Smoother Texture: Gently dissolves the stubborn bonds holding dead, dull skin cells together without the harsh scraping of physical scrubs.

  • Plumper Hydration: Draws water molecules deep into the epidermis to completely revitalize a parched, crepey complexion.

  • Less Irritation: Because lactic acid has a larger molecular size than other acids, it penetrates your skin slowly and gently—delivering maximum results with minimal sting.

⚠️ Important Rules for Radiant Success

Because this is an advanced, high-performance treatment, please keep these safety guidelines in mind:

  1. Keep it on Intact Skin: This formula is incredibly powerful. Do not use it on severely damaged skin, raw eczema breakouts, or open wounds, as the active ingredients will cause painful stinging.

  2. Never Skip Your SPF: Like all premium AHAs, lactic acid makes your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning to protect your glowing results!

EXFOLIATION BASICS:

Renew Your Radiance, Gently

Our skin naturally renews its outer layer every two weeks. Over time, however, natural aging, shifting hormones, and changing seasons slow this process down. This buildup of cells can leave the complexion feeling rough, looking dull, and showing more noticeable lines and wrinkles.

While physical scrubs offer quick surface results, they can easily scratch and damage delicate, maturing skin. Chemical exfoliation is a much more even, sophisticated way to restore a youthful glow.

For the most graceful results, lactic acid is truly the gold standard. Unlike standard treatments that rush the skin and cause redness, lactic acid features a unique, gentle, slow-release mechanism. It works gradually over time, respecting your skin's natural pace. This delivers beautiful, cell-renewing results and smooths fine lines without a hint of irritation. It is the perfect, comforting touch for a timelessly radiant complexion.

The Golden Hour for Your Skin

Out of Nowhere

Many people come to this site as a last resort after traditional medicine has failed to treat their skin conditions. They often tell me they had perfect skin their entire lives, only for a disorder like psoriasis to suddenly pop up "out of nowhere."

Based on clinical studies and years of anecdotal evidence, I believe these sudden flare-ups happen because of a long-term, quietly impaired skin barrier. When your barrier is robust, your skin can deflect almost anything. Unfortunately, dermatologists usually step in long after this damage is done, and few are trained in foundational skincare. 

Driven to find the truth, I have spent years navigating scientific data and collaborating with the nature-focused community, testing theories on lovely humans to see what actually works.

The Birth of Angelpaste

This realization is what inspired me to create Angelpaste Miracle Cream 15 years ago. To test it, I visited my grandmother at Belmont Village, a lovely assisted living community. She bought bottles for the residents, and they were amazed. It worked drastically better than traditional water-based lotions that are packed with drying chemicals.

As we age, our production of collagen and elastin slows down. This causes the skin to lose its structural support, leading to thinner skin that is highly susceptible to chemical soaps. The dramatic improvement in these residents showed me that Angelpaste was the answer to many prayers; including my own. I didn't just want something that made my skin look beautiful; I wanted something that kept it youthful, plump, and structurally sound.

The Science of Wet Skin: A Golden Opportunity

To understand how to fix the barrier, look at how water changes your hair. If you soak a strand of hair in water, it becomes stretchy like a rubber band because the water breaks its hydrogen bonds.

Your skin has these exact same hydrogen bonds. When you step into a bath or shower, your skin becomes malleable and highly receptive. This is a critical fork in the road: your skin is primed to absorb protective lipids (fats) to become stronger, OR it will become significantly weaker if you choose to leave it bare.

Understanding Your Acid Mantle

The secret to keeping skin plump lies in protecting the skin barrier, also known as the acid mantle. This microscopic film sits on the skin's surface and is composed of sweat, sebum (natural oils), and amino acids. It maintains a slightly acidic environment with an optimal pH between 4.5 and 5.5.

This acidity acts as an invisible shield that protects you in three key ways:

  • Fights Pathogens: It creates an inhospitable environment that stops harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi from thriving.

  • Maintains Moisture: It locks in vital hydration while blocking out environmental pollutants.

  • Supports Enzymes: This specific pH activates the crucial enzymes needed to shed dead cells and naturally repair the skin.

Why I Added Lactic Acid to Angelpaste

While analyzing the data, I discovered that adding lactic acid to my formula was the key to strengthening this shield.

(Note: This is for intact skin; if your barrier is currently broken or severely compromised, wait for it to heal first to avoid irritation.)

Lactic acid is a naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and a core component of your skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It builds a powerful barrier by hitting four major targets:

  • Boosts Ceramide Production: Instead of just exfoliating, it stimulates your skin to produce more ceramides—the vital "mortar" that holds your skin cells together and prevents water loss.

  • Acts as a Humectant: It actively draws moisture deep into the stratum corneum, dramatically boosting hydration levels.

  • Supports Acidic pH: Topical lactic acid reinforces your natural supply, keeping your pH in the ideal zone to ward off acne-causing bacteria.

  • Regulates Cell Shedding: It gently dissolves the bonds holding dead cells together, promoting smooth cell turnover without stripping away your protective lipids.

Knowledge is power, and understanding your acid mantle is the first step to truly resilient skin. Please contact me to add a patch test sample to your next package!

ECZEMA AND LACTIC ACID

Topical lactic acid can be highly beneficial for eczema, but it must be used with extreme caution depending on the state of your skin. Because eczema causes a genetically weakened skin barrier that easily leaks moisture, lactic acid's primary superpower here is its role as a humectant and ceramide booster, rather than an exfoliant.Clinical insights and the National Eczema Association note that the right formulations can aid eczema-prone skin in specific ways:Rebuilding the broken barrier: People with eczema lack the necessary lipids to seal their skin cells. Lactic acid stimulates the natural production of ceramides, helping to patch those microscopic gaps.Pulling water into the dermis: It acts as a powerful humectant, moving deep hydration into the intensely dry, rough surface layer (stratum corneum) to relieve the hallmark tightness of eczema.Reducing itchiness: Studies show that regular use of mild lactic acid can significantly reduce the urge to scratch by restoring the skin's optimal acidic pH, which calms hyper-reactive nerve endings.The Golden Rule: Never Use on Active FlaresThe most critical distinction for eczema is timing. When your eczema is in an active, flared, cracked, or bleeding state, you must avoid lactic acid entirely. Because it is still an acid, applying it to raw skin will cause an intense, painful burning sensation and potentially trigger a worse inflammatory response. 

Instead, use lactic acid exclusively during maintenance periods when your skin is unbroken but dry—to build up your skin’s defenses so it can deflect future triggers. 

PSORIASIS AND LACTIC ACID

Lactic acid skincare can significantly help treat psoriasis, primarily by acting as a gentle keratolytic agent to soften and remove stubborn scales. Lactic acid targets the physical symptoms of psoriasis through two main mechanisms:

  • Descaling plaques: It functions as a scale softener by loosening the chemical bonds holding built-up, dead skin cells together. This allows the thick, scaly patches to slough away smoothly without forcefully ripping the skin. 

  • Deep hydration: Unlike harsher acids, lactic acid is a natural humectant that pulls moisture into the stratum corneum. This intense hydration relieves the tight, itchy discomfort commonly associated with psoriasis plaques. 

Because it has a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, lactic acid penetrates the skin more slowly, making it less likely to trigger severe irritation on sensitive skin types.

How to Safely Apply It

  • Avoid open skin: Never apply lactic acid to actively bleeding, cracked, or severely raw psoriatic lesions, as this will cause intense burning and potential inflammation. 

  • Combine for efficiency: Many dermatologists recommend using over-the-counter lotions like Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid  which pairs lactic acid with barrier-supporting ceramides to maximize scale removal. 

  • Prep with a warm bath: Taking a brief, warm bath before applying your lactic acid cream helps soften the scales first, allowing the product to penetrate more effectively.

Key Takeaways from this blog post:

Always apply Angelpaste Miracle Cream after your skin gets wet. You don’t even have to wait to completely dry your skin - just wrap a towel and apply and then allow the Angelpaste Miracle Cream to dry while wearing a cotton towel, robe or pajamas to seal it in.

The New Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid will not be for everyone - those with broken skin should not use it on those spots.

You can OVERDO lactic acid. Try a patch test first and then start slowly using Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid once a week and also use Angelpaste Miracle Cream every time your skin gets wet at least and more if your skin is quite dry.

If you have Eczema use the Angelpaste Miracle Cream with Lactic Acid during maintenance periods and not an active flair.

Summary of Article:

Sudden skin disorders often stem from long-term, quiet impairment of the skin barrier rather than appearing entirely out of nowhere. Capitalizing on the skin's heightened receptivity when wet, applying protective Angelpaste Miracle Cream immediately after bathing is crucial for strengthening the barrier.

Honoring a Titan

"Uncommon valor was a common virtue." These words, spoken by Admiral Chester Nimitz, were meant for the battlefields of history but today, they describe a man in our own workplace.

Today, we honor a titan. Even in his seventies, this Marine Veteran, now a cornerstone of the Angelpaste family, embodies a strength that time cannot diminish. While others might step back, he steps forward, still asking to carry the heavy burdens and lift the weight before him.

When called upon to test a new product, he does not hesitate or complain. Instead, he extends his arms without a word. Those very arms once stood as a shield against tyranny. They held the line to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. He stands ready, steady, and resolute, just as he did in his youth on the front lines.

When the last of these grand heroes are gone, our nation will suffer a quiet, devastating loss. We will be forever missing the irreplaceable wisdom and fierce courage that built our world. Honor him today, for he is the living history of American valor.

Rebuild Your God-Given Skin Barrier: Why It’s Time to Escape the "Lotion Rollercoaster"

Rebuild Your God-Given Skin Barrier: Why It’s Time to Escape the "Lotion Rollercoaster"

Your skin barrier was designed by God to act exactly like a sturdy brick wall. It is your body's first line of defense, built to seal in moisture and protect you from harsh environmental pathogens and irritants.

But when that brick wall crumbles, your skin pays the price.

Take my lovely, cherished customer, Patricia. She came to me frustrated, exhausted, and dealing with rough, itchy patches and inexplicable rashes that kept her up at night. Her natural "brick wall" had completely broken down.

Like so many women, Patricia wanted to know why the lotions lining store shelves weren't helping her skin heal. The answer comes down to a combination of damaging everyday habits and sensitivity to chemicals.

Most companies design products to sit in warehouses for years so they pack their formulas with synthetic chemical preservatives like Phenoxyethanol and other harsh active ingredients.

When you apply these to a barrier that is already weakened by daily habits, it triggers a breakdown.

5 Daily Habits to Protect Your Broken Barrier

If your skin is currently compromised, we need to stop the daily habits that trigger damage and give your body the space to heal. Implement these simple changes today:

  1. Stop Scratching: Constant scratching causes the skin to thicken, redden, and harden (a process called lichenification). Address the root irritation before your skin thickens, and you can bypass aggressive interventions.

  2. Ditch the Heavy Soap: Even natural soap is drying and strips your natural lipids. Limit its use strictly to your underarms, hands, feet, and groin.

  3. Beware of Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL): High heat strips moisture straight out of your skin barrier. Keep your baths or showers short and warm (never hot) and stay out of intense mid-day heat.

  4. Shield Against UV Drying: The sun is fantastic for your natural Vitamin D absorption, but UV exposure accelerates moisture loss on compromised skin. Wear protective clothing over damaged areas when outdoors.

  5. Moisturize Immediately: Never aggressively rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, gently blot it and apply your moisturizer directly onto damp skin within 60 seconds to lock in the hydration.

Your 60-Second Miracle Routine

Step 1: Within 60 seconds of stepping out of a warm shower, apply Angelpaste Miracle Cream to your damp skin.

Step 2: Slip into a cotton robe, loose cotton clothes, or pajamas to act as a temporary shield while your skin absorbs the nutrients for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Generously spray Rejuvenating Miracle Mist onto your face, and gently pat your Glow Drops onto your face (samples available now) and if you use Angelpaste on your face, apply it last to seal the deal 

Today, Patricia has beautifully healed, soft skin. At 80 years young, she absolutely loves it when people think she is lying about her age!

Once your daily habits are adjusted and your natural, God-given barrier is built back up, you won't even need to use Angelpaste every day - good habits and pure ingredients will keep your skin glowing naturally.

Are Your Vitamins CAUSING Skin Problems, Hair Loss, and Misdiagnoses?

We often take supplements to improve our health, but certain vitamins can backfire if taken incorrectly. Before we look at how supplements can go wrong, it helps to understand what actually supports your skin.

The Baseline: What Helps Your Skin

  • Vitamin D: Sourced through sun exposure or daily supplements. Tip: Vegan Vitamin D is often preferred, as non-vegan alternatives are derived from boiled sheep’s wool.

  • Zinc: A powerful mineral known to help combat acne breakouts.

The Hidden Risks of Common Vitamins

1. Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Frequently packed into beauty gummies, no clinical data shows biotin helps regrow hair unless you already have a true biotin deficiency.

  • The Acne Trigger: Biotin and Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) compete for the same absorption pathways in the body. Taking mega-doses of biotin (e.g., 5,000 to 10,000 mcg) can inadvertently cause a B5 deficiency. Because B5 regulates oil production, this deficiency leads to oily, congested skin.

  • Keratin Overdrive: Biotin stimulates keratin—the protein that strengthens hair and nails. In acne-prone individuals, excess keratin can get trapped in hair follicles, clogging pores and causing inflammation.

  • Lab Misdiagnoses: Biotin does not cause thyroid disease, but it temporarily alters your blood chemistry. It can make lab tests falsely indicate hyperthyroidism, hide an actual hypothyroid condition, or cause doctors to incorrectly lower your thyroid medication.

2. Vitamin B3 (Niacin & Niacinamide)

Often found in gummy multi-vitamins. Oral Niacin can help reduce cholesterol but frequently causes intense skin flushing, burning, and redness. While topical niacinamide helps protect against skin damage, excessive oral intake can cause systemic skin itching.

3. Iodine

Commonly hidden in prenatal vitamins, daily multivitamins, kelp, and seaweed supplements. Iodine is excreted through your sweat glands and chemically irritates your pores, creating small, uniform bumps. In high doses, it can trigger Iododerma—a condition causing severe cystic acne and red bumps across the face, trunk, and arms without typical blackheads or whiteheads.

4. Vitamins B6 & B12 (and Nutritional Yeast)

Nutritional yeast is helpful for some, but it can trigger breakouts in acne-prone individuals. High doses of B6 and B12 stimulate excess sebum (oil) production. This type of acne appears suddenly, looks uniform in development, and is usually very itchy. (Note: Vegans do need to supplement with B12, but should stick to a balanced 5–10 micrograms per day).

5. Vitamin A & Selenium

  • Vitamin A: Because it is fat-soluble, it is incredibly easy to overdose on Vitamin A through supplements. Excess amounts overload the body's storage capacity and push hair follicles prematurely into the shedding phase, causing hair loss.

  • Selenium: Essential in tiny amounts, but exceeding 200 micrograms a day can trigger sudden hair loss, acne, and skin rashes.

6. Whey Protein & Anabolic Steroids

  • Whey Protein: Derived from dairy, whey acts similarly to androgens in the body. It triggers an overproduction of sebum and is heavily linked to severe acne.

  • Muscle-Building Supplements: Many over-the-counter bodybuilding supplements are heavily adulterated with unlisted steroid-like compounds. These can cause severe acne, accelerated hair loss, and joint pain.

Jasmine Angelpaste Repels Mosquitos

Jasmine oil has so many benefits and smells like you’re in The Garden of Eden - Unfortunately in our earthly realm there are tons of mosquitos which is one of the many reasons to get a bottle of Jasmine Angelpaste - it actually repels flying bugs!

Jasmine essential oil is a potent, antioxidant-rich botanical used in skincare to deeply moisturize, boost elasticity, and treat skin issues like psoriasis and inflammation. Research shows it aids in collagen production, boosts skin regeneration, and offers antimicrobial protection that can aid in wound healing. 

Key Skin Benefits & Studies:

  • Wound Healing and Regeneration: A 2017 study found that jasmine oil can speed up the healing of chronic wounds (such as diabetic ulcers) by enhancing wound contraction and granulation tissue formation. Its cicatrizing properties mean it helps regenerate skin cells and reduce the appearance of scars.

  • Anti-inflammatory and Antimicrobial: Jasmine acts as a natural antiseptic, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and reducing skin infections. It is highly effective in relieving inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

  • Anti-Aging and Elasticity: Known for its skin-toning abilities, it boosts blood circulation and stimulates collagen production, helping to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Balancing Oily and Dry Skin: It helps regulate oil production in oily skin while providing deep hydration for dry skin, preventing breakouts, and enhancing a natural glow

SAVE THE TREES - USE PLASTIC?

We have been lied to again. It looks like the studies about microplastics being harmful were severely flawed - meaning that when the studies were done the samples were contaminated. Not only that, but polymer scientist and material expert Chris DeArmitt claims out of 500 studies that have been done not a single one shows harm coming from microplastics.

Remember when we were told to "save the trees” and use plastic?

Now they flipped the scare tactic - dont use anything plastic because of: MICROPLASTICS

It's been discovered that these micro plastic studies were severely flawed.

And I mean severely and I mean flawed.

In 500 studies Dr. Chris DeArmitt, polymer chemist and materials scientist, says he has NEVER seen one that shows microplastics are harmful.

Dr. DeArmitt said it’s a tiny non-toxic fraction of dust…you can feed 5% micro plastic to rats for months and nothing happens - literally zero. The only thing that might happen is you might eventually lose weight because you’re replacing food with plastic. 

Dr. DeArmitt says there is a profit motive behind the plastic scare but I would also say there is a spiritual motive.

Anything that can make you fear goes against what the Bible tells us throughout: Do not fear, for I am with you. 

Rather than fear when you read an article that says dangerous levels of microplastic is in everyone’s brain. Think to yourself "who is winning when I live in fear." 

Then remember that these studies have recently been described as "severely flawed."

Dr. DeArmitt says “If you offered me a PVC bottle or a can or a glass bottle I would take the bottle or the can. I like the feeling in the hand. I like how cold it feels. I like the tactility of it. I’m not telling people to buy plastic. What I’m telling people is you should do exactly what you want. But what I don’t like is that well-meaning people are paying extra to increase harm because they’ve been lied to…Choose what you want but don’t do it based on a lie.”

I don’t live my life in fear of the enemy's plans.

The video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L4do7oCeE8

Recent scientific analysis (as of early 2026) has raised significant questions regarding the accuracy of several high-profile studies on microplastics in the human body, suggesting that some findings may be based on false positives, contaminated samples, or flawed methodology rather than actual, widespread infiltration of human tissue. 

While not necessarily suggesting misconduct, experts argue that the rapid rush to publish in a new field has led to studies lacking rigorous quality controls. 

Key Concerns and Critiques:

  • Contamination and False Positives: Researchers found that, in some cases, natural human tissue or laboratory equipment can produce chemical signals that mimic common plastics, specifically polyethylene.

  • Methodological Weaknesses: A review of prominent studies—including those claiming to find microplastics in human brains, blood, and arteries—revealed a lack of necessary "blank" samples to test for background contamination.

  • Questionable Detection Methods: A January 2025 study concluded that the commonly used technique of pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) is unreliable for detecting some plastics in human samples due to interferences, with some reported concentrations appearing "biologically implausible".

  • Specific Challenged Studies:

    • Brain Tissue: A study reporting increasing microplastics in human brain tissue was heavily criticized for weak controls and for potentially confusing fat with polyethylene.

    • Bottled Water: A study claiming 10,000 nanoplastic particles per liter in bottled water was deemed "fundamentally unreliable" by critics.

    • Toxic Plastics: A study on toxic chemicals in black plastic was corrected after a major mathematical error was found, revealing the risk was overestimated by a factor of ten. 

Context on the Research Field

Despite these challenges to specific, high-profile papers, the broader scientific consensus remains that plastic pollution is an urgent, global environmental issue. The criticism is not that plastic isn't present in the environment or the body, but that the extent and specific locations reported in some studies may not be accurate. 

Experts emphasize that more rigorous, standardized methods are needed to accurately measure micro- and nanoplastics, particularly because current instruments are operating near their detection.

OILY HORN

There used to be a natural treatment for Seborrheic keratosis!

There used to be a natural treatment for seborrheic keratosis!

You know those skin growths that appears as a tan, brown, black, or yellow lesion with a waxy or rough texture that appear ‘stuck on’ our skin?  seborrheic keratosis which just means in Latin:

Abnormal Oily Horn Growth.

Fun right?

A while back a relative of mine (who hates going to the doctor) asked me to help her remove them from her body. 

They were in an uncomfortable location which caused irritation from her bra. I immediately came to the rescue with numbing cream and my scalpel. Not everyone has a relative willing to do this brave and exciting surgical procedure so how do we get rid of these. (She ended up loving what I did and had zero scarring!)

How do we get them? 

The cause is unknown but linked to aging and sun exposure. They are not caused by poor hygiene.

The dermatologist can get rid of them but it is costly and not covered by insurance because it isn’t a medically necessary procedure.

Treatment options:

Freezing (cryotherapy): Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and destroy the growth. 

Scraping (curettage): A doctor numbs the area and scrapes or shaves the growth off with a scalpel. This is often used along with cryosurgery for thicker growths. 

Burning (electrocautery): The doctor uses an electric current to burn the growth off, which can be done alone or with scraping. 

There is a natural way to remove them.

A product was developed that doctors could use in the office called Escata. It was a little pen with a sponge tip and inside the pen was a chemical that caused very little discomfort. and caused the lesion to fall off within a few months. What was in the pen?

40% Hydrogen Peroxide

(The only place to buy this is online.)

For unknown reasons (but most likely because it is easier and faster to do cryotherapy and other methods) Eskata was abandoned as a treatment here in the US.

I just find it interesting  - and thought I should pass on this knowledge to you.

Here is a link to a nurse applying it in the correct way:

Please consult your doctor. I am in no way giving medical advice.

Customers have told me that the orange Angelpaste does rid them of growths and smooth out their skin!

“Dear Barbara, I'm Shannon Clarke

I had a mole removed on my face over 20 years ago which caused an ugly raised scar on my face.

I started using Orange Miracle Cream for a couple of weeks and the scar started to flake off - the raised scar is now gone!

I am beyond thrilled!

Thank you so much for all you do fulfilling your God-given destiny of bringing heaven to earth. 

In Him,

Shannon

Be Cool Like Fonzie

Being Cool Can Also Keep you YOUNG

Did you know that keeping the temperature of your skin cool preserves the collagen and elastin in your skin?

A growing body of data shows that exposure to rising temperatures accelerates the body’s aging process.

So how do we stay COOL, YOUNG and HEALTHY?

  1. Sun protection

  2. Drink coconut water and fruits and vegetables

  3. Cool compresses on the wrists and neck 

  4. Miracle Mist to trigger skin cool down and cell turnover

  5. Angelpaste Miracle Cream to heal the skin barrier aiding in cooling.

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”  Proverbs 25:25

Being Cool Can Also Keep you YOUNG

Did you know that keeping the temperature of your skin cool preserves the collagen and elastin in your epidermis?

Heat can affect cognitive function, cardiovascular health and kidney function and a growing body of data shows that exposure to rising temperatures also accelerates the body’s aging process.

So how do we stay COOL, YOUNG and HEALTHY?

  1. Sun protection

  2. Drink coconut water and fruits and vegetables

  3. Cool compresses on the wrists and neck

  5. Angelpaste Miracle Cream to heal the skin barrier aiding in cooling.

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”  Proverbs 25:25

More detailed information below:

“Scientists are now also finding the biological mechanisms that contribute to premature aging. Wenli Ni, a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the lead author of the German study, said heat exposure can induce alterations in DNA methylation, which is a biological process that can influence gene expression and cellular function.

She explained that this mechanism can trigger harmful biological processes and accelerate aging. “Heat exposure may also lead to oxidative stress, resulting in DNA damage that could alter DNA methylation patterns and impact aging,” she added. Oxidative damage occurs when unstable molecules called free radicals attack cells. They can harm DNA, cell membranes, and proteins, contributing to aging, cancer, and cardiovascular health issues.

These results were repeated in Taiwan, where scientists examined over 2,000 people and found high ambient temperature and heat index exposure were linked to increased aging, with stronger associations in prolonged exposure.”

SKIN SOLDIERS

Skin Barriers are getting destroyed by Preservatives

Why does Angelpaste Miracle Cream work to heal people who have never had help from any other natural lotions?

Question Everything

I’ve never done anything without asking questions. When I was in school my parents encouraged me to question the narrative. A teacher once said to me:

“Why do you always ask me questions? No one else asks questions, Barbara!”

(My father later let him know that he will ANSWER whatever questions I had.)

My father was an incredible researcher of herbal cures.  From a young age, he told me about Dr. Fauci and that most medicines were actually poison. God had created all the solutions and natural was always better than synthetic.

I’ve inherited his thirst for knowledge, love of country and faith in Christ Our Lord.

The thirst for knowledge and God Almighty led me to create Angelpaste Miracle Cream from the scientific method approach - not from commonly held beliefs.

Just because someone in authority has said something doesn’t make it true.

What is the SKIN Micro Biome or Skin Soldiers?

The delicate balance of bacteria and fungi that exists in the gut and on the skin are similar in that you need them to be in balance to keep each of the others in check. If you get rid of all the bacteria and fungi then you would make room for foreign invaders.

Some skin diseases are associated with an altered microbial state; reversing this by healing the micro biome can reverse the disease itself.

BACTERIA AND FUNGI ARE THE GOOD SOLDIERS KEEPING YOUR SKIN HEALTHY

Your bacteria and fungi are there as a shield and it is important that your gut AND your skin keep that shield and feed it. Think of them as your skin soldiers.

Anti biotic kills off bacteria.

Anti bacterial chemicals in skincare kill off GOOD bacteria and fungi on your skin that protect you from pathogens

Many of these preservative and bacteria killing “natural” chemicals are actually killing off the good bacteria on our skin.

At least with soap it washes off. With lotion and creams we leave them sitting on our skin overnight.

(Soap also plays a role in this killing spree - more on this later but here is the reference: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Soap-Truth-Beautiful-Healthy/dp/0735233608

Study of the cytotoxic and irritant effects of skin cleansing soaps

http://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33372931/)

A GENTLE SOAP and WATER IS ALL YOUR SKIN NEEDS TO WASH OFF FOREIGN GERMS

Recently a preservative widely used in the natural skincare industry was marked to be banned:

Formaldehyde Releaser: Liquid Germall Plus is categorized as an "intentionally added formaldehyde releaser"

(Another is phenyloxlyethanol I believe it will be likely banned in the next decade.)

This sounds logical. It reminded me of the video about putting mercury in vaccines because it would cost too much to have a sterile facility that produces the vaccine so instead they poisoned us with mercury.

Many “germs on the skin” can produce molecules that inhibit the colonization of other “bad germs” and even stop them from overproducing. The soldiers don’t patrol as usual and the result is a rash or a dermatitis or even worse.

I started to QUESTION.

Why are we using these chemicals in our skincare? To keep them on shelves for years and allow them to be made in factories by the boatload thereby using economies of scale to cut costs.

I sought to solve the problem of chemicals that can kill these good soldiers by making Angelpaste Miracle Cream to feed and strengthen them.

This is why so many people say to me “I’ve tried everything and Angelpaste is the only thing that has ever worked for me! Please never stop making this cream”

Almighty God has led me throughout my life and given me this passion and drive to make something that heals. I am so grateful to God Almighty for the healing that has occurred. ALL GLORY TO GOD. None to myself.

I welcome all of the comments from the experts that will say - you have to use a broad spectrum germ killing chemical because otherwise XYZ. I have no problem questioning common knowledge. I live for it.

My father also taught me that I should be very careful revealing the creative success of Angelpaste to my enemies who would steal, warp and profit from its creation. Even my own family would attempt to reverse engineer Angelpaste and fail. If I were to sell out to the big corporations I would be allowing them to pervert and mass produce the dream I had with my father 15 years ago.

My mother taught me that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I have been very….flattered? Lately.

Anyone using the knock off versions of Angelpaste - you’re really missing out on the real thing. It really is worth the wait!

A Strong Skin Barrier for Beautiful, Healthy Skin

Our skin was designed by our Creator to keep bad things out of our bodies and receive vitamins and nutrients. It naturally forms a complex structure of good bacteria, good fungi and nourishing oils. As we age, the oil our body creates itself is produced less and less.

In addition, using soap and chemicals all over your body is detrimental to this barrier which leads to wrinkles, eczema, disease and more.

If your barrier is too damaged your skin will not only look bad, but you will likely experience other health related issues.

Angelpaste Miracle Cream is more than a healing balm that keeps your skin soft and supple for days, it also gives your skin the strength it needs to keep out pathogens and look and feel amazing.

A strong skin barrier is essential to skin health and your overall health as well because it means your skin is less likely to be damaged when scratched and you’ll heal more quickly without unsightly scarring.

Recently, I spoke to a woman with a dog rescue who was in her 70s and she said every time the dogs would jump on her she would bleed. But after months of daily use of Angelpaste Miracle Cream she barely gets a mark. This is the result of the unique formulation of Angelpaste Miracle Cream. The vitamins enrich the skin causing it to heal quickly and look luminous.

I am truly humbled by the most recent reviews:

“I bought xtra bottles because I took the last of mine to the assisted living center where my dad resides. The amazing healing of several of the old persons skin issues brings tears to my eyes. It is a gift from god. Will order more for them as money allows. Thanks for who you are and what you produce. - Colleen G”

“Have been using Angelpaste Aprox; 1 year. The cream is Wonderful the first time I put it on it made my face so soft. I found that after about 8 Mos. My wrinkles were less noticeable. I love it and at 73 my skin is baby soft. Keep making it please. - Glenda B”

“This is THE best lotion I have ever used. I will never use anything else. I love that it is unscented and it absorbs completely leaving my skin hydrated and soft. Thank you Barbara :) - Barbara C”

“I just love Angelpaste. I've been using it for one year and I cannot do without it. My tanned skin looks moist and healthy. The shipping was very quick, like two days! - Irene Z”

“I started later in life to care properly for my skin. I've been using Angel Paste now for the last 2 1/2 months and seeing these awesome results. Softness returning! Firmness returning! Thank you Barbara - Beverly B”

“An amazing product! My skin has never felt better; and I feel better not applying harmful chemicals. - Patricia W”

“Amazing Miracle Cream arrived quickly. And so did the results! Within a few days my fine lines were noticeably diminished. I am 68 and have tried MANY Products. This is the 1st product that actually does what it says. I am amazed with Miracle Cream. I will be a forever customer. It's been over a week and I keep seeing more results. I am simply amazed by this cream! And the top of my hands are also looking smoother also. Angelpaste you saved my skin! Live near Houston and the sun can be brutal on your skin. Along with being in the Sun too much through the years. Oh and the packaging was really nice. And I absolutely loved the hand written note in my package when I opened it. Amazing Miracle Cream! Psst I've been trying it on my feet the last couple of days. My elbows are softer also. And my Husband has psoriasis and He ran out of his prescription and tried it. Relieved the itching. Miracle Mist On my list. Amazing Amazing Amazing. - Donna C”

These reviews are all from people just like you who tried Angelpaste and are experiencing miraculous results. All Glory goes to Almighty God!

Why I Initially Decided Against Glass

Why 15 years ago I decided not to use a glass bottle for Angelpaste but today I have found the perfect solution.

When I first started Angelpaste 15 years ago I had a beautiful decorative glass bottle that looked just like an expensive (I thought) perfume bottle. That was the look I wanted. I also wanted to use glass because it was high end and also better for you. 

Then it hit me.

Literally.

I dropped the dumb thing on my bathroom floor and then somehow got a tiny shard of glass LODGED IN THE BOTTOM OF MY FOOT. Have you ever stepped on a piece of glass and then instead of being able to pull it out you keep stepping on it for months and you think it has now GROWN IN to become a PART OF YOU? Well, I have.

Then, I pictured this happening to my mother. 

Lotion is slippery to boot. The very thought of my mother—or ANYONE— possibly dropping and shattering a slippery glass bottle of Angelpaste made me cringe. So I settled on the safe, American alternative: A BPA free PET plastic bottle made in California.

The great thing about this material was that it was made in the USA, and it wouldn’t give my mother a permanent limp. Also, I needed something that was easy to squeeze because the dispensing cap I was using required slight pressure to get the product out. Ease of use was very important to me because I imagined the people with delicate hands trying to use the product. And a bonus was that it wouldn’t be as hard to package because of its durability.

Then something truly revolutionary happened. The INFINITY bottle.

WOW.  This is different. Here is what I love about it: 

AESTHETIC:

It is a beautiful dark glass. It looks like something your realtor would WANT sitting out on your counter during a showing. 

THICK:

The glass is thicker than traditional glass making it far less likely to break when it’s dropped on a hard surface.

UV FILTER:

It filters out the harmful visible light rays that degrade the product but allows in the infrared and UV-A rays that are beneficial to the product.  (Amber glass is even inferior in this respect because it doesn’t allow in the UV-A rays.)

PERFECT PUMP:

It has a pump that gives you a blueberry sized amount of Angelpaste directly in the spot you want it.  And because you don’t need a lot of Miracle Cream (a little goes a long way) I knew this was the perfect bottle and pump.

AIR TIGHT:

Infinity Jars are air tight to lock in the freshness and keep out the bacteria and dust.

CHEMICAL FREE:

It makes products last a lot longer without the use of harmful chemicals.

EASY TO HOLD:

The Infinity Bottle is not slippery. When you hold the bottle in your hand somehow it is grippy. Maybe it’s the neroli, grapefruit, jasmine blend of Angelpaste I have in my bottle that makes it special but I haven’t dropped it once.

The Infinity Jar Company did a test on three jars: 

A. A clear glass jar 

B. An amber glass jar 

C. The Infinity Glass Jar

They put fresh chives in all three.  After two months the clear glass jar had dried out the chives, the amber glass had a slightly better result but they were still very degraded. The Infinity Jar outperformed them all and the chives were still fresh and green!  After 2 months?! Imagine what it could do for Angelpaste!

(You can read more about it on their website here.)

It is easy-to-use and a beautiful piece of decor to put on your counter and makes your Angelpaste Miracle Cream last LONGER.

I am beyond thrilled that we have partnered with this amazing company to bring you this awesome space age bottle. I know you’ll love it as much as I do!

INFINITY JARS

Angelpaste has partnered with Infinity Jars to help preserve and protect your precious illuminating miracle cream.

Infinity Jars:

  1. UV resistant so the sun isn’t aging it.

  2. Thick glass maintains the perfect temperature.

  3. Air tight - to preserve the suspension.

  5. And a bonus - they’re stunning.

I can’t wait to show them to you!

Sincerely,

Barbara

Vitamin C is Absorbed Through the Skin

Capybara’s take baths in oranges because it gives them tons of health benefits.

Why do capybaras take baths with oranges?

I was watching one of my favorite YouTubers, Urban Rescue Ranch, which features an animal sanctuary in Waco run by a kind, Christian man who rescues unwanted animals and gives them a second chance at life. He showed us the baby pool he bought and filled it with oranges donated by the local grocery store.

The sweet orange oil in the peel gives their bodies much needed vitamin c because they can get very sick without it.

Giving it to them through their skin gives them:

  1. A better mood

  2. Better skin

  3. Healthier Immune System

This is why Orange Angelpaste is my absolute favorite. I massage it into my legs to help smooth everything out and it makes my skin glow, supple and smooth. While the awesome ingredients in the Original Angelpaste have amazing skin softening and collagen building benefits, the orange has the added benefit of shrinking pores and boosting the immune system.

It’s best to use it at night because the orange can act as a sun magnifier (acting like a tanning oil) so unless you want to be incredibly bronze - best to use out of the sun.

It’s my all time favorite because the smell is simply intoxicating. And an added bonus is that kids LOVE it so if you have to use it on your child who has eczema they will be excited to use it!

All Glory to God!

Why Lavender Is for Adult Women

I don’t use lavender oil because I’m afraid it could disrupt the hormones of the children who use it.

When I used to work for a famous cosmetic surgeon/dermatologist we saw many cases of gynecomastia which is the development of breast tissue in males. It can be resolved with an incision around the areola and the removal of the breast tissue and sometimes skin excision. In some instances, it can be liposuctioned out with a thin cannula to reduce scarring.

I met with a young man who struggled daily with the disfigurement - he was a thin, attractive 22 year old with one B cup breast: I’ll call him “John”. He was so ashamed and had to use tape to appear normal. When I talked to him on the phone I told him not to be embarrassed and it was a common occurrence and could be remedied with a short surgery. He cried tears of joy after he revealed his chest because he said I was the first woman who had ever seen it and I reacted with a quick “Oh that’s no problem - we can fix that.” instead of the reaction he had imagined a woman might have.

My heart ached for the pain he must have endured thinking women would find him disgusting.

After his surgery he said a weight had been lifted off of him - he was so grateful to feel “normal”.

I saw the same phenomenon in the men who took female hormones to develop breast tissue of their own. But they were doing this on purpose. John never took hormones - did he?

It made me wonder if it was something these men had been exposed to topically or internally.

I was shocked when I discovered this study:

Physiological effects and mechanisms of action of endocrine disrupting chemicals that alter estrogen signaling

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4782146/#:~:text=Taken%20together%2C%20these%20data%20illustrate,earlier%20with%20idiopathic%20prepubertal%20gynecomastia.

Chemicals in lavender and tea tree oil appear to be hormone disruptors

https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2018/chemicals-in-lavender-and-tea-tree-oil-appear-to-be-hormone-disruptors

Lavender oil linked to early breast growth in girls

https://factor.niehs.nih.gov/2019/9/feature/3-feature-lavender

Could these all be fake and created to keep us from using lavender oil to our benefit: YES

I entertain that possibility but I’m not willing to risk it on my own family or customers. I’ve seen people claim soy can have a similar effect which is one of the many reasons I would never have it in my workshop or home. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good thing to use in Anna’s Wild Yam Cream which is said to help women suffering from symptoms of menopause because it might aid in balancing hormones.

I just don’t feel comfortable using something in my products that could cause harm to anyone. Please feel free to message me if you have contrary information that could convince me otherwise!

I only want to make Angelpaste if it is something that Almighty God has ordained.

Psalm 1 of the King James Bible says:

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

I take this to mean that the people that work with me making Angelpaste should follow Gods’ law as I should.

So the people that follow Gods’ will and law will be successful in life. Every time I make Angelpaste I pray that the people who use Anglepaste will be healed and brought to Him. I truly believe this is the reason Angelpaste has healed and helped so many. I am so humbled and grateful to have been given the gift of this business - I thank The Lord everyday!

Thank you to all of you who use and love Angelpaste Miracle Cream. God bless you!

Love,

Barbara

A Japanese Study for Crepey Skin

There is a study done in Japan showing that the skin on your body looks even smoother in people who did exercise than those who did not. Don’t forget to add Angelpaste to the mix!

I don’t trust the feds or any of these studies but when an angelpaster and friend

said that her knees and elbows weren’t being repaired by angelpaste as much as her hands it made me wonder why.

In my own experience, I have had crepey skin on my knees and thighs and arms.

So I started listing off the things that helped me get rid of them:

Me: Dry brushing?

Friend: I do that.

Me: Using olive oil soap?

Friend: I got mine.

Me: Exfoliating with a salux cloth during baths?

Friend: I’ll get one!

Me: Body scrub?

Friend: They tend to make my bath slippery.

Me: Diet full of eggs and other vitamin rich foods?

Friend: very healthy diet

Then I said: Have you tried doing lunges and lifting weights?

You see I was listing off all the POSSIBLE variables that could have helped my skin and not hers.

We’re similar ages and skin types and she is a very beautiful woman who has always taken great care of her body.

Friend: I do regular walks daily.

We ended our chat and I was stumped.

Why did my skins texture on my arms and legs improve and hers did not?

THEN I saw this study:

“Resistance training rejuvenates aging skin by reducing circulating inflammatory factors and enhancing dermal extracellular matrices”

This was a Japanese study done on healthy middle aged sedentary women. There were two groups:

  1. Women who did aerobic exercise only

  2. Women who did resistance training

Both women had significantly improved skin elasticity but the group who did Resistance Training (which includes lunges) had significant dermal thickness.

Now the cause of crepey skin can be the thinness of the skin so this was a light bulb moment. I looked back in my brain photo album and saw flashes of the super fit women in their 70s I had witnessed and their gorgeous non crepey skin.

I started lunging.

I’m actually lunging as I write this.

JUST KIDDING.

I’ll update this blog when my friend gets back to me and tells me her skin results from this newest aha moment.

Thank you for reading this far. If you did, you’re my favorite. :*

So to reiterate: Angelpaste, non drying soap (maybe no soap on those areas), dry brushing, exfoliating with a salux cloth (amazing Japanese invention), healthy diet rich in vitamin A and other vitamins, sleep, filtered water, and lifting light weights and lunges. If you can’t do those exercises, just look up resistance training that looks easiest for you. I remember my grandma Evelyn used to do Sit and Be Fit! It was sitting in a chair and pulling on these resistance bands she had. She lived to 100 and looked beautiful every single one of those years.

Love,

Barbara

P.S. Salux cloth:

Detox Your Skin

Our skin detoxes about 30% of our waste according to Dr. Sam Bailey. I like to help this process with some clays and aluminum free baking soda to help my skin do the work. Adding Angelpaste afterward keeps my skin silky smooth!

There are over 17 ways to protect your skin barrier while removing dead skin. I use a dry brush before I bathe to get rid of toxins, stimulate new collagen growth, rid myself of dead and dull skin and massaging the fascia. It’s kind of like a work out too! Detox baths are incredibly important for our skin and our health so after I dry brush I get in a hot bath with 1 cup of citric acid, baking soda (aluminum free), bentonite clay, Himalayan sea salt, epsom salt, and a clean soap like borax or castile soap. I soak for 20 minutes while scrubbing with my scrubby towel that reaches every part of my body. I also dunk my head and hair as much as I can. Then after I drain the bath I take a regular shower using a clean soap and sugar scrub to moisturize and polish my skin. Angelpaste Miracle Cream after and a nice relaxing snuggle in a cotton robe and my detox bath is complete! I try to do this at least every 3 weeks. If I buy in bulk I can get this for about 10 dollars per bath. I do this for my health as well because my body is being inundated with heavy metals, toxins and other things and I have to do everything I can to get them out. Supplements like N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) are amazing and I take it every day. I’m not a doctor and am only relaying my personal experience and I don’t recommend any of this to you without consulting with your own healer. God Bless you.

Dead Skin Looks Dull

Body brushing is one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy. It also increases overall circulation if done in upward strokes about once a week.

Before you bathe, dry brush your entire body to remove the dead skin cells. By doing so you’re forcing your body to create new skin that’s smoother and softer. You want to treat this new skin right - so give it the gift of healing with Angelpaste Miracle Cream which is full of vitamins, moisture and mimic the natural barrier your body creates to protect it. The only time you need to use Angelpaste Miracle Cream is after you’ve taken a bath (because water is drying), washed your skin with soap (because soap strips your natural barrier), or swum in a body of water. The best part about Angelpaste is that you don’t need to use it everyday like other lotions because its not full of water like most lotions.

Most lotions start with water as the first ingredient because it’s inexpensive. Then they put a gummy cheap thickener and a few good ingredients as well like vitamins and oils from plants. They do that so you think you’re getting all of those nutrients in your skin when you’re actually just putting mostly water, thickener, and alcohol on your skin. This is why your skin gets chapped hours after using other lotions. This puts your skin in a vicious cycle that also makes the company more money because you like the smell, you think it has good ingredients in it and it isn’t expensive. It can sit on the shelf for years and not go bad because of the preservatives in it. This makes for great profit margins but not so great skin.

Dry brushing, preferably with the Elemis Dry Brush (I know its pricey but it is the best one I’ve found), not only gives your skin a boost by ridding you of that dead skin layer but it can improve your circulation too! Gorgeous skin starts with it being smooth and even colored. Dry brushing regularly makes your produce new skin and if you feed it Miracle Cream right away you’ll achieve more luminous, younger looking skin. It can also help reduce cellulite which also makes skin look more even by releasing the puckered skin from the fascia of the muscles behind the fat layer.

Sit in front of the TV with your dry brush and start at your ankle brushing up toward your knee on your entire lower calf. I like to do several strokes until I can see the dead skin flying off the brush. Pay extra attention to the knees because they usually have extra dead skin on them and can sometimes have discoloration because of it. Then go from the knee up the thigh and focus extra attention (and massage) on the backs of the thighs because they tend to have more cellulite (in women). Then do circular motions on your butt cheeks (do this more gently). I usually start on my arms next going from hands to upper arm and then circular motions around the elbows. Sometimes I’ll do a gentle scrub on my belly as well but usually skip my chest because the skin is extra sensitive. I’ll usually use a scrubby acrylic towel for the chest and back and back of neck. It’s great for swim suit season because your skin will reflect light in the sun and glow naturally!
