Beauty Skin Care :Get the Anti-Aging benefits of Retin in an organic subsititute. Introducing Bee Organic mock Retin A.

The Queen agrees in principle with the anti-aging benefits of Retin A, but the ingredients found in the paraben loaded creams were just too much to take. Most clients have a hard time with redness and itchy skin in the Rockies when trying to use retinoids. Give us two months, and we will give you less overall wrinkles, they will be more subtle and overall the elasticity of your skin will be boosted. All these results without any of the side effects like redness, photo-sensitivity, irritation, parabens, and perscriptions needed for Retin A. Queen Bee would like to introduce Bee Organic – mock retin A.

We have been hard at work for more than two years looking for more organic solutions to the problem. What we discovered is a peptide (which is just 3 molecules combined) that produces the same results, but without the nasty chemicals. Our mock retin A with some pretty good data behind it. See our findings below.

More research information on our Mock Retin A Peptide:
Clinical study included two panels of 23 volunteers used two creams one on each side of their face. On one side, we used a 3% saturation of our peptide, the other cream was a placebo. The volunteers used the creams twice daily for 56 days. Anti-wrinkling and lifting efficacy was assessed by profilometry (which studies roughness) and photography. The variations where quite noticeable. In terms of the overall surface occupied by deep wrinkles our product did 10x better than the placebo. In wrinkle depth, density and volume we did 2 – 5x better. For roughness, we did almost 14x better. In lifting effect, the difference was 4x better. The main finding is that wrinkles are actually 45% less deep in just two months of use.

A secondary measurement device was used to to measure skin elasticity and tone. This research is done with a cutometer (Cutometry) applying a gentle negative pressure to a small area of skin to measure the elastic displacement of the skin from its initial position as well as the elastic recovery following maximum negative pressure. In the same two panels of volunteers the tone was improved by almost 20% and the elasticity by almost 10%.

Our hydrating base is made with raw unrefined shea butter emulsified with golden organic jojoba. This creates a soothing night cream that both moisturizes and glides easily across your skin. We added our proprietary peptide and the results with use after about 60 days should be a noticeable reduction in fine lines, a softening of deep lines, renewed skin elasticity, etc. The scent is simply divine! It is fresh squeezed pink grapefruit with the top note of sexy Ylang Ylang. Bee Organic comes in a one ounce tub and a trial size both are available at www.QueenBeeSkin.com

Skin Care :Want to look like a “young chick” again?

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 10:46:39 +0000

Here are a few How Tos:
Keep it farm fresh at home!
Using organic skin care is a great start toward maintaining fresh, healthy skin.
A youthful appearance starts with clean fresh skin. Our organic foaming lavender or exfoliating face wash are great basics. We pump up the effacacy of these products by using them with Clarisonic Mia facial brushes. They deep clean, stimulate circulation, remove dead cells, and are quick and easy to use. If you are over 35 you have probably already noticed that your skin appears more sluggish or dull. Our cellular turnover slows with age, so you can address this concern by using a little of mother nature’s skin care skin and adding AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) products. If our line, you will find the Glycolic Toner to be a very quick effective deeply penetrating wipe. It allows fresh skin to be reveiled in an instant.

Follow your deep cleanse with nutrition packed moisture. Whether you choose the new Bee Organic with mock retin A, Sea Buckthorn C Serum, lightweight Hydrate, or Multi-Vitamin Daily Facial K Serum, you will see a noticeable change in your skin after the first several days of use. Over time, the lasting benefits of chemical free moisture will take years off your look. Adding a few skin droplets of Squalane to the hydrating routine adds elasticity to the skin and combats the moisture loss that also naturally occurs in the aging process. Off our facial botanical products are offered for sale online at up to 20% off from now until Peter Rabbit hops down the bunny trail.

High Tech and Organics at the Spa!
If you are in the Pagosa Springs area, we invite you to come take years off by trying our new HydroDerm abrasion service. We use soothing, hydrating serums while blasting off roughly six layers of dead skin. The result is “Young Chick” without question. Clients leave the hive with renewed, super-smooth skin that lasts and lasts. Over time this service can remove buried debris, clears pigmentation, and makes your skin so pet-ably soft that you find yourself needing to be pinched into the reality that your skin can be so smooth. This service also uses advanced Ionic technology to push our rich organic hydrating products deep into the layers of the skin. They eye and lip areas show dramatic improvement with just one treatment. Say goodbye to sterile medi-spa service and enjoy the benefits of natures aromatic botanicals mixed with soothing effective high tech tools. This service produces such quick noticeable results that we offer “No Questions Money Back” if you don’t see or feel the results immediately. Take a half an hour and blast away years!

15 Things to Give Up in order to be Happy

Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling to them. Not anymore. Your skin is a mirror that shows your inner health, so let’s focus internally. Starting today, we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us and embrace positive change.

1. Give up your need to always be right. There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. Give up your need for control. Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

3. Give up on blame. Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk. Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. Give up your limiting beliefs about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. Give up complaining. Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. Give up the luxury of criticism. Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. Give up your need to impress others. Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take of all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. Give up your resistance to change. Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell

10. Give up labels. Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. Give up on your fears. Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

12. Give up your excuses. Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. Give up the past. I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. Give up attachment. This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another, attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations. Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves. You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

The Queen has been researching light therapy (LED) for over two years. Searching for statistical data on the effects of LEDs in the red/amber spectrum and how they might impact redness in the skin, she has read every white paper and turned over many stones.

The result though, is a lovely new addition to our facial service offerings. Red spectrum LED light. The fancy name is photobiomodulation. It uses light in the far-red to near-infrared region of the spectrum and modulates numerous cellular functions. It’s anti-inflammatory results are well documented in an Age Management & LED study conducted in Hunt Valley Maryland at the Skin and Vein Institute where they combined laser procures with non thermal LED to enhance healing response. For more information on this study, click here.

It is soothing and healing. Over time this treatment reduces the depth of lines! With each twenty minute treatment, you stimulate cellular regeneration, elastin and collagen. You heal scar tissue allowing it to be restored to its original tone and texture. You will feel a tightening of the skin and notice a reduction in the appearance of large pores. One study included clients that had small biopsied skin segments showed actual thicker collagen fibers.

At Queen Bee, we strive to find innovative ways to turn back the signs of time while keeping in line with our belief in organic botanical healing. We hope you will find the time to add one of these treatments to your schedule. To book your Light Therapy facial, just give us a buzz : 970-316-2899 or QB@QueenBeeSauce.com

We are so pleased to announce a partnership between Parelli Natural Horsemanship located in Pagosa Springs and Queen Bee Skin Care makers of organic skin care products.

Starting in May, Queen Bee’s organic mineral sunscreen called Bee Sunny will be available to Parelli customers. They are calling it simply “Sunblock”. Call it what you will, but it is a clever new way to protect yourself from the elements during outdoor activities.

Many thanks to all the people who helped get this relationship started including Linda Parelli, Mark Weiler, Sue Shoemark, Hans Oss and Nicole Pfeiffer! For a small business like Queen Bee it makes a big impact allowing us to sell overseas in their key markets.

Bee Sunny is a refillable brush loaded with mineral powder sunblock that provides both UVA and UVB broad spectrum coverage. It is easy to apply on the go. Using both Zinc and Titanium Dioxide, the powder is translucent, but very effective. It doesn’t break down with sun exposure and is oil versus water soluable, so it wants to stick to your skin even with outdoor activities. With all sunscreen, you want to reapply as you are out and about, but this handy brush makes it much easier to stay protected. The brush retails for or can be purchased in a jar with a sifter top for . Both products will be offered in person at events and online.

It allows horse owners at all levels of experience (from trail rider to Olympic level Dressage rider) to achieve success without force, partnership without dominance and harmony without coercion.

Best Skin Care :Bee Clean is the newest way to deep clean your skin from organic skin care maker Queen Bee

Everyone knows to cleanse their skin twice daily, but most people don’t realize that a single cleanse with a surfactant-based cleanser still leaves behind a film of oil-based debris, such as sunscreen, long-lasting make-up, pollutants and your skin’s own sebum (oil). The oil-based debris on your skin creates a barrier that your usual cleanser simply cannot fully penetrate. The result is a dull, congested complexion.

What can you do about it?
Perform the Pre-Cleanse that begins with Bee Clean. It is formulated with the plant-based oils that can melt the layers of oil-based debris on your skin because the oil molecules bond to each other, unlike the water molecules in your usual cleanser. These oils then emulsify when you add water, encapsulating and removing the trapped debris, and allowing your exfoliating facial wash to penetrate even further than before. While double cleansing with your traditional cleanser may partially remove oil-based debris, only the double cleanse that begins with Bee Clean can adequately penetrate layers of oily debris for complete removal, ensuring a more intense, more professional and more thorough level of clean.

Queen Bee’s Bee Clean precleanse is a highly effective make up remover. We have used oils blended with green apple fruit essence and green tea for the ultimate fresh scented cleanser! We hope the scent will make you swoon, but the results will keep you devoted. At the start, we are going to ship this product in two sizes: Bee Clean two ounce squirt will be perfect for most consumers and clients that travel, and we made a larger 8 oz pump bottle for estheticians use as a back bar product.

Just one or two pumps at night will allow you to remove facial and eye make up with no harsh chemicals. Your skin will feel supple and smooth. If you have sensitive or dry skin, you will adore this new cleanser. It has all the strength you need to clean without leaving any dryness. This product (like all Queen Bee Skin Care) is made without animal testing or ingredients and is free of phthalates.

As the year begins to wind down, we can’t believe our lucky stars! This was the year we did it. We finally got our product mix right, enough happy customers, new shipping systems in place and WOWZA what a year we had.

We have a team of about 35 worker bees in Pagosa Springs that help us to keep our costs down by picking up kitted projects and helping with product assembly, labeling, and filling! This year’s success is in large part due to these buzzing bees.

We have some exciting products in the pipeline including a paraben free version of Retin A, and some super hydrating sodium hyaluronate products packed with raw shea butter and great for traveling. Watch our blog for more on these. Estimated ship dates are mid February!

We broke sales records at our farmer’s markets, events, websales and amazon orders. So THANK YOU for the years of support while we grew, worked out our packaging issues and got our product mix right.

So the good news is that we are quite happy to continue making and filling our botanical creations for years to come. The bad news is that on a couple of our very popular products, we have to raise prices – (about 10%). These will hit in January and include 3 products: Glycolic now , Vitamin Serum now , and Squalane . Mostly these are due to ingredients sky rocketing costs and many of our suppliers going out of business. For example, just a couple years ago we could purchase bulk golden jojoba oil for about a gallon. We then paid about to get it shipped here. Now, it is 5 gallon and shipping is . So our costs for ingredients have more than doubled. The costs to get small batches of our specialty ingredients have tripled. We hope these changes will not dissuade you from shopping with us! Look for a final big holiday sale close to the end of the year!

Skin Care Center :Beeswax Factiods -Mind your own Beeswax?

Interesting Facts About Beeswax wax.

Bees must eat about six pounds of honey to secrete a pound of wax.�

For every 100 pounds of honey a beekeeper harvests, only one to two pounds of beeswax are produced. Now you know why beeswax is expensive.

Interesting Facts About Beeswax wax.

There are lots of companies that use beeswax in skin care product formulations. It is molecularly too large to be absorbed. That means it sits on the surface of your skin creating a barrier. This makes it nice for wind protection. It is also used to harden other fomulations. Most oils, lipids and butters are soft at room temperature. Beeswax is added to harden these. It has a very high melting point which is what makes it a stabilizer.

Queen Bee doesn’t actually use much beeswax (except for romantic candles). We like to stick with things that soften and really manifest a change in the hydration of the skin. The bees don’t seem to mind though. They just keep buzzing! Got a question or comment? Give us a buzz: 970-316-buzz (2899)
