Beauty & Style
Arcona’s effectiveness comes from the way it processes its ingredients (enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids). Many a skin care line employs heat processing-heating up ingredients, causing them to lose their nutritional value (Arcona compares it to overcooking veggies). Arcona, on the other hand, uses cold processing to ensure that every ingredient remains alive and potent.
In addition, the line is free of parabens, chemical stabilizers, sodium lauryl sulphates, fragrance and petrochemicals.
Arcona even has its own L.A. chic beauty studio and day spa in Santa Monica. There you can find the complete line and sample one of its custom services. Each treatment uses ingredients that are specifically tailored for you skin type and the specialists there keep a record of what was used on you to guarantee that you get a personalized treatment with each visit.
I had an opportunity to go to the spa and test the Arcona Organic Enzyme Peel. Arcona facialist Debbie Moss gave me a relaxing, therapeutic treatment and used an aromatic pineapple enzyme mask to cleanse, an LED light therapy treatment to strengthen, and a soothing chamomile balm to replenish my skin. I left Arcona glowing and continued to feel radiant for days. I was also introduced to Reozone SPF 40 tinted sunscreen, which is perfect for the coming summer months (it works perfectly under make up too).
Arcona has an extensive line for women, men, hair, body and kids too. For more information on these lines visit their website.

oh and my eco-friendly comment.
dont keep the water running unnecessarily. ex: during brushing your teath, or before getting into your shower. wash your face in the shower so that your only running the water once.

YDT, thanks for letting us know about that amazing skincare line. I have never heard of Arcona before and sure want to try it. I am absolutly loving the fact that it is fragrance free as I’ve got a pretty sensitive nose and any little sent makes me sneeze, so that would be the perfect brand for me.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

when applying products to your face and neck, use the excess on the backs of your hands – including sunscreen!
save your trial size bottles and jars to re-fill and reuse for travel.

For those with plants, I leave a bucket under my faucet tub while the water is heating up that I use to water my plants. I also do “navy showers” (turning off the water when lathering up), and apply body lotion while my skin is still damp so I end up using less. I hope these tips help in “being green”.

Arcona is amazing – one of the best skincare lines out there. Some eco-tips: wash makeup sponges after using them instead of using disposable ones! And also – don’t throw away your empty shampoo and lotion bottles, recycle them!
