Radiant Beauty 100% Natural Thai Herbal Anti Ageing Face Mask Dry Mix

Pueraria mirifica face mask delivering promising results in anti ageing skincare. Royal Siam's Radiant Beauty Anti Ageing Face Mask is a totally authentic, 100% natural, hand made herbal anti ageing skin treatment made under the careful supervision of a registered practitioner of Thai Traditional Medicine. The natural ingredients which are all sourced from Thailand are hand selected, dried and powdered naturally with no chemicals, and no machinery that applies heat or pressure to the ingredients which could damage or degrade the effectiveness of the material.

The mixture is then blended and forms a fine dry powder - which is the form it is supplied to customers. The mask requires the addition of natural honey and natural yoghurt (milk or even water can be used as an alternative) and as these two ingredients are widely available around the world at a local level we do not include these two ingredients which the customer can obtain in their local area. The Ingredients The Radiant Beauty Anti Ageing Face Mask is made from the following ingredients:

Pueraria Mirifica (also known as White Kwao Krua or Kwao Kreu Kao) The use of Pueraria mirifica in Thai Traditional Medicine as an anti-ageing treatment for skin and other age-related and degenerative conditions can be traced back at least 700 years. Discovering the plant in the mid 20th century, western scientists dubbed the plant the fountain of youth for iyts multiple anti aging benefits mirifica in Latin name means miracle. Over the past two decades there has been increasing modern scientific validation with the identification of 17 different phytoestrogens in the plant a very much richer source of phytoestrogens than soy isoflavones or red clover Pueraria mirifica has been used by natural health advocates over time to treat a wide range of conditions including: v The general effects of ageing, sagging skin, wrinkles, loss of skin tone and elasticity v Alleviation of menopause symptoms, as a natural HRT option, restoration of sexual function in post menopausal women

v Age related dementia, memory loss, Alzheimers Disease, loss of mental alertness and acuity v Age related reduction in bone density and muscle mass v Loss of joint, muscle and ligament flexibility and lowered reflexive body movement v Reduced libido in both men and women v Reduction of stress and anxiety and loss of appetite v Female breast size and firmness v Alleviation of cataract symptoms and visual acuity v Hair loss and the onset of grey hair in both men and women

Beautea Superba (also known as Red Kwao Krua or Kwao Krua Dang) Equally used for centuries as a complementary ingredient to White Kwao Krua, Beautea Superba offers a similarly wide range of anti aging benefits and curative properties; however it is primarily known for its clinically proven use in treating erectile dysfunction in men to the extent it is widely known as natural viagra. Just some of the benefits of this natural ingredient mimic modern ED medication; i.e. the plant acts as a vasodilator as well as a c-AMP Phosphodiesterase inhibitor leading to increased ability to attain and retain erections. Butea superba contains flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides which are increasingly being linked to a range of health and anti ageing benefits. Other ingredients are believed to assist stamina

as well as mental alertness and sensational awareness Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Used extensively in Thai and other Asian traditional medicine treatments for over 1000 years (in addition to use as a food), turmeric is an, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and possesses immune-stimulating attributes. Turmeric has been widely used by natural health advocates over time to treat: v Acne, skin blemishes, blackheads, dark spots/discoloration, melasma and hyperpigmentation v Dry skin, skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis, wrinkles. v To restore skin elasticity, as an exfoliant and sunscreen v To treat breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer

Citrus Grandis (Pomelo) While pomelo flesh is widely used as a food, the makeup of the rind or skin is a treasure-trove of beneficial compounds. Pomelo is a rich source of antioxidants, Vitamin C, dietary fibre, Vitamin A, calcium, iron and potassium. Traditionally pomelo has been used by natural health advocates for: v Strengthening, clearance of obstructions and elasticity of arteries

v Treating diabetes, major and minor infections, fever, insomnia, sore throat, stomach and pancreatic cancer v Treating breast cancer and assisting the reduction of excess oestrogen v As a detoxifying agent

Citrus Hystrix (Kaffir Lime) Similar to Citrus Grandis, the rind of the kaffor lime is packed with beneficial ingredients. Kaffir lime is a particularly rich source of antioxidants, a powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent and source of tannin, triterpenouid and saponin. Citrus hystrix has been used by natural health advocates over time for: v Healthy and rapid skin growth and regeneration v Treatment of acne and blemishes v Special treatment shampoo for those with dry, flaky, itchy scalps or hair loss problems v Immune system support and stabilization including post chemotherapy v Treatment of common colds, influenza, and infections of the throat

v An antidote for lethargy, tiredness, depression, loss of appetite

Piper Interruptum A plant native to northern Thailand, used extensively in cooking and in Thai Traditional Medicine but only just becoming recognised as a health ingredient by the outside world. There is emerging scientific evidence of its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. It has been used by natural health advocates over time as a carminative , antiflatulent, and tonic ingredient. Tamarindus Indica (Tamarind) A popular ingredient in natural treatments across Asia, Tamarind contains phytochemicals with health benefits including limonene, geraniol, safrole, cinnamic acid, methyl salicylate, pyrazine and alkylthiazoles. Tamarind is a rich source of minerals including including copper, potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc and magnesium and vitamins including thiamine, vitamin A, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin C making it a powerful antioxidant.

pregnancy, assisting the healing of broken bones, and the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery Add Natural Honey and Yoghurt Locally The last two ingredients, natural honey and natural yoghurt (which can be replaced by milk or even water if desired) are not supplied by Royal Siam owing to the difficulties related to shipping these ingredients. However these are available at a local level across the world Natural Honey Honey includes sugars (e.g. glucose and fructose) along with minerals including magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium , sulphur, iron and phosphate. Depending on the nature of the nectar and pollen, honey contains vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3. Honey contains powerful antioxidants and has antiseptic and antibacterial properties on at least sixty species of bacteria, and unlike antibiotics, is non-toxic and has strong effects Honey has been used by natural health advocates over time for many purposes including: v To enhance and beautify skin v Healing wounds and burns and protection against infection v Lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease v Reduction in ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders v As an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent v To help increase physical performance v Reduction on cough and throat irritation v To help regulate blood sugar levels

v As a probiotic and as a treatment for many other illnesses and disorders Natural Yoghurt (We recommend natural yoghurt provided locally as the liquid ingredient other liquids or milks may be used if desired). Yoghurt has been used in skincare for centuries and is a rich source of zinc, calcium, and important B-vitamins. The fats and proteins contained in yoghurt and milk help moisturise skin and also help the skin to retain its moisture and alleviate symptoms of irritation including sunburn as well as some skin conditions like psoriasis. Lactic acid in yoghurt and milk acts as a gentle cleanser and exfoliant, and its probiotic nature contributes beneficial effects and ability to calm irritated skin. 100% Natural, Hand Made, Totally Authentic 'Faithful to Tradition' Royal Siam's Radiant Beauty Anti Ageing Face Mask falls under the 'Faithful to Tradition' range.

What to Expect From Treatment Treatment with the mask is suitable for both men and women, clients ranging in age from mid teens to those in their 80's and even 90's have all reported positive outcomes from treatment, and the treatment is suitable for all skin types and may be used on any part of the body. Many of the test subjects who initially used the product as an anti ageing facial treatment only have begun using the product as an all-over skincare treatment as often as once or twice per month. Those who have used the product commonly make the following observations of their skin, usually evident immediately: v treated skin is noticeably softer, an outcome that is identified by almost all participants in the trial v fine lines and wrinkles are less prominent; skin tone and elasticity is visibly improved; overall observations being the skin appears younger

v skin condition and tone (colour) becomes more consistent. Areas of uneven pigmentation, melasma, patches of irritation and redness, areas of excessive oiliness or dryness decrease in size and severity

v sagging skin areas reduced with greater skin tautness especially under the eyes, jowls, neck and under upper arm/armpit area v skin previously described as 'dull' improves in its luminosity or radiance v skin feels clean and refreshed - especially if the mask has been used as a gentle exfoliating treatment (see more later) v blackheads are reduced, enlarged pores shrink v for those suffering with acne the acne cycle is accelerated with acne appearing following the first and sometimes second application of the mask. However those with acne prone skin who continue with regular treatments (on a roughly monthly cycle) report significant improvements in the recurrence of acne outbreaks v reduction in both excessive oily areas of skin as well as areas of dry, red or irritated skin v users with skin conditions including dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis did not experience negative effects and in some cases commented on symptoms appearing less intense after exposure to the mask. Elimination of dry flaky skin in eyebrows were noted by some people

Long Term Effects Every individual is unique and the responses to this treatment vary. However the indications are both from historical use of this treatment as well as current observations that the benefits that are noted following each treatment are evident for some time and these benefits are maintained when the treatment is repeated every 1-2 months, and in some cases the benefits are incremental with positive changes occurring over the period of 6-12 months with treatments every 4-6 weeks.

Instructions For Use Warning: This is a 100% natural product, totally authentic to Thai Traditional Medicine. The product will stain fabrics and surfaces such as wood or wallpaper - however will rinse off hard surfaces such as bathroom areas easily while still moist. Prepare the area and wear a smock or apron, tie your hair back, and keep some paper towels or similar handy in case the unexpected happens. If you plan to apply the mask yourself this is best done in the bathroom - for your face, do this in front of the mirror above the hand basin. For the rest of your body, stand in the bathtub or shower enclosure.

Preparation First, purchase at your local supermarket or store some natural honey and natural yoghurt. The honey should be 100% pure, golden 'runny' honey and you will have a choice as to what is the best available to you. If you can obtain it, we recommend there is no better option that New Zealand Manuka honey. The yoghurt should be natural, unsweetened and without any other ingredients included, and this should be a white or off-white cream. You will need a mixing bowl (porcelain or metal is recommended to prevent the bowl becoming discoloured), a mixing and application utensil (kitchen spatula or a simple dessert spoon

or similar); the honey, yoghurt, and Royal Siam dry powder mix. Allow 10 grams of the dry mix powder for a facial mask application; 30g if you plan an all-over treatment. Allow about one third of the dry powder volume for honey and the same for the natural yoghurt. Warm the honey slightly under warm water or in the microwave to make sure it flows freely. You can replace the yoghurt with regular milk if you wish - or even water. Place the dry mix powder into the bowl and add a small amount of the honey and yoghurt, mixing the ingredients together with your spoon or spatula. Add more honey and yoghurt little by little and keep mixing - do not add too much all at once. The aim is to have a thick creamy mix that is moist enough to spread on your skin reasonably easily without there being dry lumps, but not so wet that it does not stick to the skin or runs off. Think of it as icing for a wedding or birthday cake. Now for the fun part. Some people prefer to wear surgical gloves when applying the mask however this is a matter of personal preference and is not necessary. Take a small amount of the mask - no more than half a teaspoon - and place this lightly on a area of skin you wish to treat. Then using your fingertips, gently spread the mask to cover a wider area of skin using a circular motion, or long strokes to make sure the mask

is fully spread onto the skin surface. Repeat this until you have covered all areas to be treated; and with any left over product simply repeat the application in the areas that need most attention (excess product will keep for a week or longer if cover and placed in the refrigerator). You should leave the treatment mask in place for at least 20 minutes - the longer, the better. While this happens you don't have to stay still! The mask acts as a highly effective exfoliating treatment and the level to which you want to do this is up to you. You can apply the mask lightly or massage it into your skin with firm pressure for several minutes. For maximum effectiveness as an exfoliating treatment, wait until the mask is nearly dry and then vigorously and with firm pressure massage it into the skin with a circular or long stroke motion. Here you will find the mask will roll into clumps or small balls of product - removing dad skin cells, impurities and toxins, clearing pores and invigorating the skin. Many people find the process of leaving the mask until almost dry and then vigorously rubbing it off the skin for several minutes to be an excellent treatment for arms, legs, and the body while reserving a more gentle approach for the face and neck - however this is a matter or personal preference. Once you have completed he exfoliating stage to the desired level, it is now time to rinse off the mask - this is best done with plenty of water - Goldilocks style, not too hot and not too cold. Doing this in the shower is ideal. Any of the mask that has dried should easily dissolve with warm

water and there is no need for vigorous scrubbing - just continue to rinse off the mask with warm water (no soap) and a gentle rubbing until the water runs clear. It is likely you will still have residue clinging to your skin - especially the turmeric which is a yellow/gold colour. So now you need to use a gentle cleanser to thoroughly remove the last of the mask residue. Do not undo much of the benefit of the treatment by using regular household soap or detergent, but use a quality, gentle, pH balanced skin cleansing bar or cream - such as Royal Siam's pure Queen Bee Facial Cleansing Bar. Finally gently dry your skin with a soft towel, without the need for frenzied rubbing. You're good to go! Before declaring final victory, however - rinse off any residue of the mask from your handbasin, shower or other surfaces and if you have accidentally spilled any of the mask or ingredients onto clothing make sure you treat this to prevent a permanent stain. Warnings While the mask is designed for external use the ingredients are all non toxic and should cause no problems if a small amount is accidentally ingested. Avoid getting any of the mask in your eyes and if that does happen rinse out with warm water immediately. Should you have any symptoms of an allergic reaction to the mask such as development of a rash, itching, pain, swelling etc cease use immediately and rinse off with water. If the problem persists refer to your health professional.
