Amala skin care products are crafted in Germany. The premium product line is well known for its ultra-premium, results-oriented, custom formulas, rooted in advanced plant chemistry.

The entire line of Amala skin care products are of 100% natural origin, that work in total synergy with
the body to deliver visible, proven benefits to skin and senses.

Terese Linke is global education and spa training director for Amala. With summer right around the corner, she is offering some important skin care tips to create healthy, hydrated, radiant skin from head to toe!

* Had a bit too much fun in the sun? Amala’s Hydrating Treatment Oil, infused with Organic Avocado and Pomegranate Seed Oil, rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, help nourish, soothe and protect the skin against the damaging effects of a day in the rays.

* To refresh skin after a day at the beach, keep a bottle of Amala’s Rejuvenating Toner in the refrigerator. The cooling, aromatic mist over the skin absorbs instantly, quenching dehydrated skin.

* For a glowing, summer-ready complexion, regular exfoliation (twice weekly) is a must! Amala’s Brightening Face Polish revives the skin with its unique blend of Narcissus, Raspberry Seeds and Algae Extract, peeling away pigmented surface cells and revealing a smooth, even skin tone.

* Before applying self-tanner, scrub the body all over in the shower a week in advance (two to three times) with Amala’s Detoxifying Body Polish. This will clear off the dead skin cells for a clean palette to achieve even coverage with the tanner.

* To instantly soothe, comfort and repair sunburned or peeling lips, smother them with Amala’s Soothing Lip Salve. The healing and moisturizing effects of Desert Fig Seed Oil and Shea Butter work together for a quick fix!

* To rid the skin of excess shine, press a small amount of Amala’s Purifying Mattifier directly over a moisturizer, covering the entire face or the oily T-Zone area. Natural Rice Hull Powder absorbs excess oils, leaving the skin with a clear photo-ready finish that lasts all day long. Before applying makeup, apply the mattifier as a primer under make-up for a soft matte finish.

Meaning, “most pure” in Sanskrit, the German premier luxury skincare brand, Amala is once again living up to its reputation of natural and organic products.

Crafted in Germany, Amala’s products are trusted by major five-star spas around the world and sources its plant ingredients through fair-trade farm partnerships worldwide.  Their new age-fighting product, Rejuvenate Advanced Firming Complex is no exception.

This is Amala’s most advanced age-fighting solution yet.  It was created with an exclusive cocktail of plant actives that all work to dramatically restore skin firmness, elasticity, and minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and improve texture and tone in seven days.

Continuing its humane missions, Amala has promised ten percent of net sales for the first three months following the launch of this product to CancerCare, a free professional support group for cancer patients and survivors.

Since first introduced to the U.S. four years ago, Amala has expanded its skincare line, from relieving acne and dryness to supporting aging and sensitive skin, all using the bio-actives of organic, unprocessed whole plant ingredients.  Amala’s founder, Ute Leube has crowned the Rejuvenate Advanced Firming Complex as the brand’s greatest achievement in the anti-aging product line to date.

The key ingredients in this new product are plants of the Amazonian rainforest, especially the cocoa bean, known for its unique ability to help calm inflammation, stimulate cell regeneration, and repair skin’s natural moisture barrier.  Other ingredients such as Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Brown Algae, Hyaluronic Acid, organic soy, and Hibiscus all aim to strengthen the dermal matrix to reverse the effects of aging and damages from day-to-day activities.

The clinical results for this product are impressive.  After seven days of usage, 75% of the users indicated significant reduction in wrinkle depth, while 81% showed improvements in skin smoothness, and all of them (100%) demonstrated significantly increased skin hydration.

If you want to test the product, you can try finding it at a spa near you.  They are offered at spas all over the world from San Francisco, Los Angeles, to Hawaii, New York, and Chicago.  International spas that carry this product include Dubai, Kuwait, and Mexico.
