Every autumn and winter, a period comes and fortunately also goes when everyone is sick. And of course, if your immune system is not exactly the Great Wall of China, you also succumb to viruses and bacteria, and you get sick. And always right when you have the most work, and preferably just before the holidays. Well, this year it won't be like that! This year, new creations from Skinfairytale will additionally protect you from viruses and bacteria. Because Katarina doesn't want us to be sick too much, she has developed three products that will help you get back on your feet or help your immune system not get sick. I'm talking about the EasyBreathe, CalmDown and ImmuneBoost products.
EasyBreathe, CalmDown and ImmuneBoost will be your new best friends
But first, what are they all about? They are cosmetic products, more specifically skin care creams. Now you're probably wondering how a cosmetic product could help you beat a cold. These are not just classic care creams, as they contain essential oils , which studies have shown to be highly effective in treating viral and bacterial infections. Due to cosmetic legislation, cosmetic products cannot claim to treat or help eliminate diseases (because only medicines can do that), but based on my experience, they actually help you recover faster.
Each of the products listed is intended for different ailments. Skinfairytale EasyBreathe is a cream intended for skin care, but its purpose is to help relieve coughs and open blocked airways .
CalmDown is a product designed to relieve the discomfort of a dry cough . I don't know if there's anything worse than a dry cough. The product stimulates mucus secretion and soothes a dry cough, while the blend of essential oils also helps you sleep better.
ImmuneBoost will not only be your friend during times of illness, but all the time, as it will help strengthen your immune system and thus prevent you from catching a cold that a coworker brought to the office.
How could essential oils help with a cold/cough?
Aromatherapy is one of the complementary therapies that uses essential oils as the main therapeutic agents for the treatment of many diseases. Essential oils are volatile compounds , soluble in oil, which are obtained in various ways from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots, fruits and other parts of plants. There is a lot of evidence for essential oils that they can pass through the skin and thus introduce the desired effect in the body and at target sites. The essential oils used in Skinfairytale products have antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral and immunostimulating effects. The products can work in different ways, depending on the place of application.
EasyBreathe and CalmDown products are applied to the back of the neck or the back of the neck . It is important to apply the cosmetic product to the area where the problems occur - when breathing, this is usually the lungs. By applying it to the chest, we also ensure that the essential oils are inhaled, which helps to clear the airways. Surely, whose grandmother made inhalers with hot water and essential oils for a stuffy nose?
EasyBreathe for cough relief
I myself have had problems with nasal polyps since I was little and consequently with breathing through my nose. Of course, it gets worse in the winter. In the evening, when I have trouble breathing, I apply a layer of cream to my chest. Due to the mixture of essential oils, the cream helps to open the airways and calms down.
| ESSENTIAL OIL | OPERATION |
|---|---|
| Copaiba | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial action |
| Lemon | Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, helps with easier breathing and soothes sore throats |
| Tea tree | It contains the compound terpinen-4-ol, which has been shown to kill certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and is said to increase the activity of white blood cells, which help fight infections. |
| Thyme | The compound thymol exhibits antispasmodic properties, helping to soothe coughs and reduce the duration of respiratory infections such as the common cold. |
| Lavender | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial action |
| Eucalyptus | Anti-inflammatory effect, helps relieve cough, thins mucus, opens airways |
| Revintsara | Antiviral action, relaxes the respiratory tract |
CalmDown for soothing dry coughs
At the time I received these products for testing, I actually got sick and had a terrible cough all the time. The dry cough and the feeling that I had something in my lungs made it difficult for me to calm down and fall asleep. In the evening, I applied the cream to my chest CalmDown , which calmed the intensity of my dry cough, which also made it easier for me to fall asleep. The blend of essential oils in this product soothes coughs and has anti-inflammatory properties.
| ESSENTIAL OIL | OPERATION |
|---|---|
| Lavender | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial action |
| Copaiba | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial action |
| Immortelle | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, soothing and helps reduce stress |
| Boswellia | Inhibits inflammation in the airways and inhibits the secretion of cytokines, which are markers of the inflammatory reaction |
| Cedar | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial action, relieves muscle and joint pain, soothes cough |
ImmuneBoost to strengthen the immune system
ImmuneBoost Unlike the previous two products, you can use it all the time and in this way further strengthen the functioning of the immune system . The product is intended primarily for prevention, but of course you can also use it during the illness itself in combination with nutritional supplements to strengthen the immune system. It is intended primarily for the season of colds and viruses, which quickly throws us off track. ImmuneBoost can also be applied to the chest and back , and you can also apply it to the feet . Why the feet?
It is known that every nerve line in our body ends in the feet. Each foot has 7200 nerve endings. According to reflexology , the big toe is connected to the brain and head . The upper third of the sole is connected to the chest , and the middle third is connected to the digestive system and stomach .
Applying this nourishing cream to your feet also has the added benefit of making them softer after application!
| ESSENTIAL OIL | OPERATION |
|---|---|
| Cloves | Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal action that helps fight colds and flu |
| Orange | Antibacterial action |
| Tea tree | Immunostimulatory action |
| Revintsara | Antiviral activity |
| Cardamom | When applied, it gives a warming sensation, which also helps strengthen the immune system, fight colds or flu, and relieve chest congestion. It also exhibits antibacterial properties. |
Skinfairytale EasyBreathe , CalmDown and ImmuneBoost are cosmetic products that show positive effects on relieving the ailments that occur during the winter. During the illness, they can only help you further if you do something for your recovery. This means resting, drinking fluids and replacing vitamins and minerals. By using all three products and a combination of vitamins, I myself completely recovered within 4 days of illness, without taking any painkillers or antibiotics. I am very satisfied with the effects, especially with EasyBreathe and CalmDown, as they are visible quickly after application, as they make breathing much easier and soothe the irritated respiratory tract. Using ImmuneBoost is a long-distance run that allows you to strengthen your immune capacity in the long term, and not to collapse at the first encounter with the disease.
