Ingredient selection and preparation
When formulating its skincare products, Astara chooses only the finest essential oils and extracts from organically-grown plants, flowers, fruits and herbs. And unlike other companies, Astara’s ingredients are carefully prepared in a way that avoids artificial processing and overheating. These methods tend to deplete the ingredients of their beneficial qualities. Astara never heats plant extracts above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, which ensures maximum potency and efficacy.
Astara products for every skin type
It’s easy to build an effective routine with Astara that addresses specific skin concerns. For oily or blemish-prone complexions, Astara Blue Flame Purifying Gel Cleanser uses tea tree extract and willow bark to cleanse and purify without stripping or irritating skin. Astara Blue Flame Oil-Free Moisturizer with aloe vera and antioxidants moisturizes and protects skin while minimizing excess oil. Astara Blue Flame Purifying Treatment rescues skin from breakouts and oil slicks with tea tree oil and vitamins. For a deep-down clean, Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask can be used as often as necessary to purify pores.
If tightness, fine lines, wrinkles or roughness are a concern, Astara offers specially-formulated products for dry or mature skin. Astara Botanical Cleansing Gele removes makeup and hydrates skin without stinging or burning. Astara Radiance Renewal Intense Moisturizer features the antioxidants gingko biloba, alpha lipoic acid and jojoba oil, which strengthen skin’s natural moisture barrier to help retain hydration. Astara Violet Flame Enzyme Mask is the answer for rough, dry, leather-like skin. Packed with fruit enzymes, it exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and revs up circulation, bringing nutrients to the skin. And Astara Botanical Eye Treatment is a vitamin-rich cream that soothes and hydrates, reducing the look of puffiness and fine lines.
All skin types can benefit from Astara Daily Refining Scrub, which removes dirt and dead skin cells that can clog pores and dull the complexion. Another benefit: It boosts blood circulation. Astara Activated Antioxidant Infusion is another product with benefits for any skin type. Loaded with vitamins A, C and E and white and green tea extracts, it provides ultimate protection against environmental damage.

Beauty Tips for Oily Skin

Though a touch of shine on your face can create a luminous glow, too much of it can wreak havoc on the complexion and ruin makeup. Oily complexions occur when sebaceous glands run in overdrive and produce too much sebum (or oil). As sebum accumulates on skin, the face takes on a shiny appearance. Also, oil builds up in pores, mixing with bacteria and dead cells, causing breakouts. Fortunately, it’s simple to create a stunning, shine-free look. Here’s everything to know about choosing the best formulas for oily skin and applying them correctly.
