Cole Herbals Blog Articles
We're excited to share some of Dr. Cole's tried-and-true protocols that complement her first-aid skin-repair products. These are simple solutions to the skin problems that many of us often cope with during our active daily lives.
Sun damage or other burns
• Cool down the area as quickly as possible with ice or extremely cold water. This stops the burn from expanding.
• Gently clean the area with pure water.
• Apply a thin coat of Dr. Cole’s Skin Repair Balm to the area every few hours until the burn cools down or subsides.
• If the burn leaves a scar, continue applying Dr. Cole’s Skin Repair Balm or Cream daily until the scar is no longer visible.
Lack of proper skin hydration
• Begin drinking pure spring water, or mineralized filtered or RO water (water purified through reverse osmosis). If you're feeling dehydrated, drink four gulps of water every 30 minutes until you're feeling refreshed. Stop if or when you begin to feel lightheaded. Then, drink half an ounce of pure water for every pound you weigh throughout every day.
• Soak in a full tub of warm water daily, or as often as possible—at least once per week.
• Apply a good moisturizer to your skin right after your bath to lock in the moisture. Dr. Cole’s Gourmet Body Butter was created for this purpose.
• Wash your face daily with pure water, using a clean washcloth. Massage you face and neck well to clean away dirt particles and increase circulation. Do not use soap as it tends to pull natural oils out of your skin and dry it out.
• Apply a gentle, organic moisturizer to your face and neck immediately after washing. Do not dry with a towel before doing this as the goal is to lock as much moisture into your skin as possible. Dr. Cole created Fresh Face Organix Facial Moisturizer for this purpose.
• Wash hands often with a gentle, antibacterial soap, but apply a good hand cream immediately after doing so. Dr. Cole’s Gourmet Body Butter can be used for this.
Chapped hands or feet
• Wash well with pure water. Do not apply soap.
• Apply Dr. Cole’s Herbal Skin Repair Balm or Cream to the chapped area as often as needed.
• Repeat the process before going to bed to help the chapped areas heal overnight.
Rashes or skin infections caused from exposure to toxins or allergens
• Gently clean the area with pure water.
• Massage Dr. Cole’s Herbal Extraction Balm into the area and let it soak in for a few hours while it pulls the toxins to the surface of the skin.
• Gently wash the area again.
• Apply Dr. Cole’s Skin Repair Balm or Cream to the area to assist the skin in healing
itself. It's best to apply this before going to bed so it can do its work overnight.
• Repeat the process until the skin has cleared up.
Cuts and scars
• Gently clean the area with pure water.
• Massage Dr. Cole’s Skin Repair Balm or cream around the area.
• Deep cuts requiring stitches are handled the same way. Follow the doctor’s orders to keep the area moist and clean for the required time before using Dr. Cole’s Herbal Skin Repair Balm or Cream.
Dr. Cole's Skin Repair Balm assists in helping the skin heal itself once toxic substances have been extracted from the skin. This product works well to soothe irritated skin conditions, relieve sunburn (or other burns), stop itching, calm down rashes, reduce swelling, and more. This balm is more intense than the cream (seen below) and usually is used on body parts other than the face, neck and hands.
Dr. Cole's Skin Repair Herbal Cream was created to assist in healing the more delicate areas of the body, such as the face, neck and hands. This thick, luxurious cream can be used on a daily basis as a preventative measure, or to assist in healing immediate skin irritations. Formerly part of Dr. Cole's Mobu Herbals line of products, this was called "Mobu Herbals SOS Lotion." It has been re-formulated into a thicker cream, and comes in an air-tight pump jar that is more sanitary, recyclable, and has a much longer shelf life.
No medicine cabinet should be without this dynamic duo: Dr. Cole's Skin Repair Formula as a balm and as as a cream! The balm is used for the more intense skin irritations on the lower body, while the cream is best for the more sensitive areas on the face, neck and hands. These products always have been long-time favorites for Dr. Cole's patients, and were formerly called Mobu Herbals SOS.
This First-Aid Skin-Repair Bundle comprises all of the products needed to follow Dr. Cole's emergency first aid skin-repair protocol, which includes:

2) Massaging Dr. Cole's Extraction Balm into the irritated skin area.
3) Applying Dr. Cole's Skin Repair Balm to assist the skin in repairing itself after the toxins have been extracted.
