Dr Alkaitis The high-performance, “living” skincare line is created by Dr. Saul Alkaitis, a world-renowned physical chemist, research scientist and molecular biologist. Dr. Alkaitis has studied under, and conducted plant research with four Nobel Prize recipients. His products reflect his rigorous academic training and devotion to wellness. Dr. Alkaitis follows one absolute guideline: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.” The range is expertly formulated from edible living ingredients – certified organic/biodynamic, wild-crafted herbs, fruits, sea vegetables and virgin, cold-pressed vegetable and essential oils – sourced from vetted individual farmers and wildcrafters from around the globe. Naturally, all chemicals, synthetics, plantderived products, transfats and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are rigorously excluded. One of my favourite products is the organic enzyme exfoliating mask. It is a fully organic biological skin peel that is ideal for those who 430 want deep exfoliating but are looking for a natural alternative to chemical peels. This is an effective anti-aging treatment that brightens and gently dissolves dead skin cells, whilst supplying essential phytonutrients, antioxidants and minerals to the skin. It is made with naturally exfoliating enzymes of bromelain and papain (pineapple and papaya), essential phytonutrients and antioxidant strawberry and blueberry extracts. Upon adding moisture (water, yoghurt or honey) to the powder formula, unique ingredients are activated, allowing the skin to fully absorb the nutrients. It is important to keep the mask moist or the enzymes will become inert. I have seen a noticeable difference, with an improvement in the overall texture of my skin. It has lost all of the dullness I had been experiencing. Overall, the organic enzyme exfoliating mask is a winner in my books, and I will continue using it bimonthly. www.alkaitis.com www.theaddressmagazine.com
