Acne, Pimples & Breakouts

Acne and pimples develop when pores become clogged. It can get worse during stressful situations. Scientists have not figured out why some people get acne and others do not, but they agree that diet, allergies and genetics can play a role. Stress, certain skin care or acne treatments, dehydration, diet, lack of sleep, chemical contact with the skin, and smoking are all causes of skin breakouts. To help reduce flare ups and redness, apply a small amount of Dr. Cole's Extraction Balm directly to the affected area in the morning and evening.

Directions: Apply directly to targeted skin problem spots after thoroughly washing the infected area of the skin.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are soft fibromas or fibroepithelial polyps. They are small noncancerous, or benign, skin growths. Usually, they are flesh-colored bumps of tissue connected to the skin's surface by a narrow stalk. The color, texture, size and width of the base can vary and grow on eyelids, necks, arms, and other places where skin is normally rubbed. Effectively removing a skin tag can take some time based on the size of the stalk, but with daily use, the skin tag will eventually fall off. Using a cotton swab, apply Dr. Cole's Extraction Balm to the stalk base at least twice a day and cover with a bandage.

Directions: Apply directly to targeted skin problem spots after thoroughly washing the infected area of the skin.

Moles

Moles are a common type of skin growth. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigment-forming cells. Most people have 10 to 40 moles and they may change in appearance or fade over time. Most moles are harmless. To help break up the clusters of cells and/or to remove a mole, use Dr. Cole's Extraction Balm. Some people notice change in a day — others notice changes over weeks or longer.

Directions: Apply directly to targeted skin problem spots after thoroughly washing the infected area of the skin. Cover with a bandage to keep balm directly on the mole.

Skin Rash

Gently wash the area again. Apply Dr. Cole's Skin Repair Balm or Skin Repair 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.

Burns & Scars

When the skin is wounded, the tissues break. This causes a protein called collagen to be released. Collagen builds up where the tissue is damaged, helping to heal and strengthen the wound. This natural process is how a scar is formed from burns and other injuries. 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 Skin Repair Cream daily until the scar is no longer visible.

Anti-Aging

As you grow older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries your skin and makes it appear more wrinkled. Fat in the deeper layers of your skin diminishes, causing loose, saggy skin and more pronounced lines and crevices. Also, as we get older, sun damage starts showing as dark spots on our skin. To reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, Dr. Cole's Rejuvenating Moisturizer will help. It is made with Double-Helix™ Water which helps the skin detox and heal itself.

Directions: Apply in the morning and at night before going to bed. Rub deeply into the skin for the most benefit.

100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Mountain Spring Water, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Double-Helix Water™, Apricot Oil, Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Vegetable E-Wax, Jojoba Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamin E. 1% Cosmocil CQ™ (a bactericide).

Dry Skin

Dry skin is a condition that many people suffer from at all stages of life. It can be caused by cold or dry weather, sun damage, harsh soaps, or overbathing. Babies are more likely to suffer from dry skin since their top layer of skin is 30% thinner than that of an adult. One of the most gentle products to use is Dr. Cole's Gourmet Body Butter for babies and Dr. Cole's Rejuvenating Moisturizer for all other ages.

Body Butter Directions: Massage into dry skin areas often. For best results use this product after bathing.

How Transdermal Remedies Work

Transdermal is a big word that simply describes the process that happens when a substance enters the bloodstream through the skin. "Trans-" means across or beyond, and "-dermal" means "relating to the skin," especially the dermis. Put it all together, and you have "beyond the skin."

The dermis is the middle of three layers of skin that protect our body. It is a thick layer of tissue below the thin outer skin layer—the epidermis. The dermis contains capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles and more. A lot happens in the dermis!

For many thousands of years, medicine men and women, shamans, and healers of all varieties—including regular people like us—have applied substances onto the skin to achieve therapeutic effects. Those beneficial effects range from being calmed, soothed, and relaxed, to being fully cured of an ailment.

In today's world, transdermal drug delivery is now an accepted alternative to oral delivery of drugs and to hypodermic injections. But, it wasn't always that way. The FDA first accepted this approach in 1979, less than 50 years ago. For the first two years, the only approved transdermal drug was scopolamine, used to combat nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.

Those of you who suffer from motion sickness are probably very familiar with the patches you can affix to your body a half an hour or so before flying or going deep-sea fishing. They've saved many wretched moments for people over the years.

Interestingly, scopolamine—also known as Devil's Breath—is a poisonous organic compound, obtained mainly from plants of the genus Scopolia. Like many drugs, scopolamine began its existence as a plant.

Dr. Cole first began learning about these very old healing herbs when she found herself having to deal with very sick people who could not take in oral medications of any kind because of their delicate digestive systems. She soon discovered after much experience that the use of transdermal applications of these powerful herbs could be just as effective, if not more so, than oral medications. That's because they bypass the digestive system getting right into the muscles and lymph system and then quickly into the circulatory system.
