Frequently asked questions about natural skincare products

Some of the questions we are asked about when using Mabel Maybanks natural skincare products

How do I combat wrinkles?

Cellular regeneration is the secret to a youthful skin. The nutrients and proteins in essential oils and minerals help to maintain and hydrate collagen in the outer layers of the skin. Mabel Maybanks' products encourage the regeneration of new cells. The stimulating properties of the essential oils oxygenate the blood which in turn energises the cells allowing regeneration to take place. Nothing can stop the clock but a good skin care regime will help slow it down.

What can I do about sun damage and age spots?

Factors leading to age spots are poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, poor liver functions and above all some damage from prolonged exposure to the sun. Mabel Maybanks puts beneficial vitamin A in both our day and night creams and this is being used with good results. Our lemongrass hand and body cream has also been successful for some people with their age spots. Avoid too much exposure to the sun.

What can I do about acne?

Skin problems are common especially in teenagers and can be most distressing. They are often caused by sex hormones causing an increase in sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. It is the bacteria that lives on all human skin that causes a build up of sebum which becomes infected leading to spots and blocked pores. Cleansing the skin is crucial to avoid skin breakouts. Use Mabel Maybanks Multi-purpose Cream as the soap substitute, wash and cleanse with it, take your make up off with it, even eye make up. Many people have also said that our Lemongrass Hand and Body Lotion has worked wonders.

My skin is puffy?

When the skin is spongy in texture it usually means that it has become waterlogged. Retention of water by the body may be related to the menstrual cycle, it can be a reaction to certain drugs, allergies, sinus problems, or a sign of illness. Vitamin A can be helpful as found in our day and night creams. Our hand and body cream with lemongrass and our foot cream with cypress have also been found to be helpful.

I have dry skin what can I do?

Dry and flaky skin requires regular moisturising. The emollients in the Mabel Maybanks creams are especially good for dry skin conditions. Our hand and body creams containing lavender or geranium and patchouli have had very good results on dry and flaky skin.

Can I use Mabel Maybanks products after an operation?

I have been asked by cancer sufferers who are receiving burning chemo therapy if they can use my creams? Always consult your doctor first, but with no chemicals, only vitamins, minerals and healing essential oils, sufferers have found our creams beneficial. Vitamin A and vitamin E are especially important in skin repair and our creams with lavender or chamomile have been found to be soothing and restorative.

Why are your Mabel Maybanks products so good?

Nothing artificial is added to our creams. There are no chemicals or preservatives and we only use the finest quality organic essential oils and beneficial vitamins and minerals. But the secret that was passed down to me by my Grandmother, Mabel Maybanks, is in how we blend these ingredients. All products are handmade in small batches so that they come to you completely fresh.
