Tips

Gamila Secret

Summer is right around the corner and we all love the warm feeling of the sun on our skin. That is why it is so important to prepare your skin beforehand, as the sun can be very damaging. If your skin is well cared for you can ensure a beautiful, healthy tan this summer. Here is our guide for radiant, glowing skin this summer.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Clean skin!</li>
</ul>
It is important to keep your skin clean, we trust you know that. But did you know most synthetic soaps contain ingredients that can dry your skin? Maybe you&rsquo;ve noticed that some of the popular commercial soaps can have a harsh effect on your skin leaving it feeling tight and dehydrated. That is why it is so important to use a natural soap with no harsh chemicals in it.
We recommend: Try our <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop?category=8162">natural cleansing bars</a>, they are 100% natural, made with a secret combination of herbs and essential oils, helping your skin retain moisture and feel as soft as ever. There is a large range of natural scents and formulas, you can find the best formula for you in our previous article <a href="https://www.gamila.com/blog/discover-what-your-skin-type-is-and-the-best-skincare-routine-for-you">here</a>.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Hydration!</li>
</ul>
This step is obviously important all year round, even when the temperature rises! When summer rolls around there is a tendency to think moisturizing is not necessary anymore, but this isn&rsquo;t true. Even if your skin gets a little oilier you should keep hydrating it. There are two important steps to keeping your skin hydrated: moisturizing and drinking lots of water!
We recommend: You can use our <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/4">foot balm</a> and <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/5">hand cream</a> to keep your hands and feet feeling soft and nourished. Also, apply our <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop?category=8163">Face Oil</a> to your face and neck to keep them hydrated.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Exfoliate your body</li>
</ul>
Do you want to discover the secret for the perfect tan? Exfoliation!
Body scrubs can be your best friend this summer. It is important to exfoliate all the dead skin of your body before trying to tan, or you&rsquo;ll get dry, flaky skin with a splotchy tan (and we know you don&rsquo;t want that).
We recommend: Use a soft scrub on your body before shaving and hydrate your skin after. Do not use physical exfoliators for your face as their particles can be too abrasive for soft skin. For face it is best to use a chemical exfoliant.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Be careful when shaving</li>
</ul>
We all want those soft summer skin and for that reason a lot of us shave more frequently in the summer. But it is important that you are careful when shaving because the razor can be too abrasive. Be gentle when shaving and use a nice cream to help hydrate your skin and make the shaving process smother.
We recommend: Once again you can use our <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop?category=8162">natural cleansing bars</a>, they are multipurpose. Due to its natural formula our cleansing bars have a creamy formula when in contact with water. This makes for the perfect formula to use for your shaving. Wet your bar and rub it along your legs (or face, this works with beards too), use your razor to gently shave. Not only will the formula help your razor glide more easily, it will also hydrate your skin at the same time.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Sunscreen!</li>
</ul>
This one seems obvious, but most people forget to wear sunscreen. It is a myth that if your skin is already tan you can&rsquo;t get a burn, or the sun won&rsquo;t damage it. Please use your sunscreen religiously. This is so important for a healthy skin. It will help you keep your skin hydrated and protected. Sunscreen even helps prevent premature signs of ageing.
We recommend: If you like to use makeup daily apply your sunscreen under your foundation, as the last step of skin care.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Do not use these ingredients before tanning</li>
</ul>
If you are going to be out in the sun do not use products containing salicylic acid, retin-A, tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene, retinol, or glycolic acid. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive and increase the chances of a serious sunburn.
We recommend: If your current skincare routine includes any of these ingredients try substituting them for others or use it only at night. Once again, do not forget to apply sunscreen during the day.
&nbsp;
These are our tips for amazing summer skin. We promise your skin will be soft and radiant!

Spearmint Sparkle Natural Soap - Best Eco-niche New Product

Your skin goes through aggressions every day. From environmental pollution, to hormonal imbalance, to consequences of your lifestyle, your skin is always exposed to harmful agents. Your skin is also unique to you and deserves personalized care. To obtain the best results, it is important to care for it according to its needs.
Here is a complete guide on how to discover and take care of your skin type, with special tips to help you choose the best Gamila Secret formula for your skin.
&nbsp;
<h2>Normal Skin</h2>
What to look for: Your skin does not react with most daily stimulus and does not require much care for it to maintain a healthy complexion. Here are some signs to look out for if you have normal skin:
<ul>
<li>Not many breakouts</li>
<li>Your skin does not tend to react badly to new products or weather changes</li>
<li>You don&rsquo;t feel like you need to constantly moisturize</li>
<li>You do not feel oil on your skin</li>
<li>Firm skin, with minimal fine lines and wrinkles</li>
</ul>
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;Since you were blessed with normal skin, you do not experience much sensitivity, dryness or oiliness. Your skin can tolerate most ingredients, so feel free to experiment with different cleansers, moisturizers and masks until you find your favorite.

<li><a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Original Lavender Face Oil</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Oily&nbsp;Skin</h2>
What to look for: If you have oily skin, you always seem to have a natural glow. This is the result of an excess of sebum production in your skin (specially on your T-zone). Mattifying powders and blotting sheets might just be your best friends already. Due to the oils in your skin, you might notice your makeup or skincare do not last very long. But not all is bad news, this type of skin is also less prone to wrinkles.
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips: When it comes to oily skin, shine control seems to be the top concern. You should avoid ingredients like mineral oil, petrolatum and alcohol. Non-comedogenic products are really great for oily skin as these won&rsquo;t clog up your pores. Contrary to what many believe, oily skin still needs to me hydrated - oil-free moisturizers are the best for your skin. Other products we recommend are chemical exfoliants and clay masks. A very useful tip for oily skin is do not over-wash your face! Washing your face too much can dry out your pores and cause them to produce even more oil.

<li><a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Original Lavender Face Oil</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Dry/Dehydrated Skin</h2>
What to look for:&nbsp;Even though dryness and dehydration are two different concerns, they have very similar signs. Here&rsquo;s how to identify them.
Dryness is caused by a lack of oil in the skin. This lack of oil production can be a result of your lifestyle and environmental factors or a chronic condition (for example eczema or related conditions). Symptoms include:
<ul>
<li>Flakiness</li>
<li>Sensitivity</li>
<li>Itchiness</li>
<li>Cracks</li>
</ul>
Dehydration happens when your skin does not retain enough moisture. Symptoms include:
<ul>
<li>Tight feeling in your skin</li>
<li>A papery appearance or small, fine lines when your skin is pinched together</li>
</ul>
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;Dry and dehydrated skin require different treatments.
If you have dry skin, you need to seal in the moisture by applying a rich moisturizer several times a day&mdash;especially after washing your hands or bathing. Keeping the air in your home and workplace warm and moist can help to heal your skin. You should avoid harsh soaps and products with lots of artificially added fragrances.
For dehydrated skin, it is best to look for water-based products, since you do not want to decrease your skin&rsquo;s oil production even more. The most important tip we can give you for dehydrated skin is, drink a lot of water!

<li><a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Foot Balm</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Combination&nbsp;Skin</h2>
What to look for: Normally people with combination skin have a hard time figuring out their skin type. Combination skin is usually oily on the T-zone and dry or normal on the rest of the face.
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;The key for taking care of combination skin is balance. Treat your problem areas separately with spot treatments and use toners and creams to even out the skin. It is recommended you avoid the same ingredients as oily and dry skin, such as alcohol-based products.

<li><a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Original Lavender Face Oil</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Acne-Prone Skin</h2>
What to look for: You can tell your skin is acne-prone when you get frequent breakouts or breakouts that never really seem to go away. Your pores clog easily, giving way to whiteheads, blackheads or pustules. You can have oily or dry skin and be prone to acne.
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;Cleansers formulated for acne treatment, exfoliants and moisturizers can help you minimize breakouts. To avoid making your preexistent breakouts worse be gentle with your skin. Use a cleanser and a topical gel to treat and lighten acne scarring. Some ingredients that can fight acne are&nbsp;salicylic acid, clay, benzoyl peroxide or retinol.
Note:&nbsp;Blemishes on your skin are not always acne. There is a condition called rosacea that is commonly known as &ldquo;adult acne&rdquo;. Some symptoms of this condition include flushing, prominent blood vessels, thickened skin and stinging or burning. If your skin presents these symptoms, please skip to sensitive skin.

<li><a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop/3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasmine Comfort Cleansing Bar</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Sensitive Skin</h2>
What to look for: Sensitive skin might be caused by&nbsp;genetics, allergies or environmental factors, it usually presents various signs:
<ul>
<li>Frequent rashes and bumps</li>
<li>Patches of dry, flaky and/or irritated skin</li>
<li>Stinging or burning after using a skin care product</li>
<li>Bad reactions to fragrance</li>
</ul>
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;As your skin is more sensitive it is also more prone to irritation, burning, redness or breakouts. In order to keep your skin feeling and looking it&rsquo;s best, we recommend you avoid fragrances and alcohol or antibacterial ingredients as these tend to irritate the skin. The ideal products for you and your skin type are more natural with fewer additives with calming, healing or anti-inflammatory properties.
Note: Your skin can be sensitive and still be oily, dry, combination or normal. You can still attend to the other needs of your skin while looking for more calming, natural products.

</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Mature Skin</h2>
What to look for: Each person carries the signs of the life they have lived, aging is a part of the process. The signs of ageing are rather universal, even if your skin does not age at the same pace as others. Some of these signs are:
<ul>
<li>Some (or more than some) wrinkles</li>
<li>More dryness</li>
<li>Sagging</li>
<li>Dark spots</li>
<li>Dullness</li>
<li>Dehydration</li>
</ul>
Gamila&rsquo;s Tips:&nbsp;Mature skin requires more attention and dedicated care. You should look for enhanced skin care to tackle past and future damage. An anti-ageing routine can be started at any time. Choose treatments which can boost collagen, as well as protect against environmental aggressors and cell turnover.&nbsp;

<h2>Our part in sustainability</h2>
Gamila Secret is a 100% handmade and natural skin care brand. Our production processes were designed with strict environmental, social and economic sustainability criteria. Located in Galilee, Israel, our soaps, creams and oils are produced locally.
Founded by Gamila Hiar, our brand shares the philosophy of its creator: &ldquo;everyone deserves to have healthy and soft skin and preservation of the right balance&rdquo;. We aim to provide good skincare and contribute to a fairer and more sustainable world. An uplifting world in harmony with nature.
<h2>The Making Off the Cleansing Bar</h2>
The origin of Gamila Secret started with the Original Cleansing Bar. The magic formula is still prepared the same way as it was created, by hand. The process is long, with many stages but if you&rsquo;ve used our bars before, you know it is worth it. The result is a beautifully hand carved 100% natural soap that provides nourishment and care for all skin types.
It all starts in the mountains of Galilee, where nature&rsquo;s beautiful secret lurks. An exceptional combination of herbs is meticulously harvested to form the essence of the Gamila Secret cleansing bars. The whole process is a natural symbiosis between Gamila and mother nature.
The unique formula stands out from mainstream cleansing bars due to its natural composition and combination of oils. Contrary to most soaps, Gamila Secret&rsquo;s formula uses not only high-quality virgin olive oil, but a vast variety of natural oils and herbs.
The Unique ingredients of The Cleansing Bar:
<ul>
<li>The Secret herbal formula</li>
<li>Syrian Olives</li>
<li>Shea Butter</li>
<li>Laurel Oil</li>
<li>Grape Seed Oil</li>
<li>Sweet Almond Oil</li>
<li>Lavender Oil</li>
<li>Coconut Oil</li>
</ul>
When mixed together, these ingredients form a rich base for the cleansing bars. The oils simmer while the herbs undergo a secret process, which is the essence of our brand. All parts of the herbs are treated separately and carefully. Time and temperature are meticulously controlled, and this precision is crucial to activate the components within the herbs. Only in that stage are the herbs combined.
This potent herbal emulsion is cooked together with the oils in a traditional way at precisely 80 degrees. This process requires a lot of experience to ensure the ingredients combine perfectly. To turn the soft emulsion into a firm cleansing bar, a minimum amount of sodium is used and quickly rinsed out. After this process, the emulsion is firm and once again 100% natural. This completes the Gamila Secret base recipe which is now ready to be made into the original cleansing bar. Natural scented oils are added to the emulsion, giving our products their own distinct 100% natural fragrance.
The next step is tasting, this is how Gamila ensures all ingredients are perfectly combined before emptying the cauldron and leaving the formula to dry. When the emulsion reaches its perfect state, it is spread over special tables and left to dry for 24-hours. After this time the top layer has hardened enough to cut the cleansing bars to size and give them their distinctive stamp, all by hand. The blocks are then placed on racks for up to 6 months. The centres of the cleansing bars are still soft as butter and need time to properly curate and harden. This process is slow and dependent on the weather and atmospheric humidity.
The blocks are fashioned once they reach proper solidity. All curves are shaped by hand, giving the bars a nice feeling to the touch. The weight and shape of the bars are thoroughly inspected before they&rsquo;re approved for the next step. Women of various ethnic backgrounds fashion the cleansing bars. Peace through development and collaboration, that is the philosophy of Gamila Secret.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
When everything is up to Gamila strict standards, the cleansing bars are shipped to Cyprus to be packaged. The Gamila philosophy applies here too. Recyclable, eco-friendly paper is used and women beautifully package everything by hand. The cleansing bars are now ready for shipment.
This luscious, rich formula is known all over the world and it has racked up a lot of prizes. If you haven&rsquo;t tried it, we recommend you check out all the different cleansing bars we offer and find your perfect formula for you <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop?category=8162" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Founded by a unique and inspiring woman, Gamila Secret is a women&rsquo;s brand at its core.
Gamila Hiar, our founder, grew up in the Galilee region, Northern Israel. During her youth, she lived in harmony with people from different religions and faiths, such as Muslim, Christian, Jewish, and her religion, the Druze. It is in this atmosphere of peace that Gamila discovers her true passion and purpose, the healing power of nature.
During her youth, Gamila travelled on foot across most of the State of Israel in search of information on the healing capacity of herbs and oils found in her country and how to put them at the service of the people. This was considered a very unusual pursuit and journey for a woman at that time and culture, which raised some social resistance to Gamila&rsquo;s actions. However, Gamila has never conformed. She stands for her beliefs and fights for social justice.
In Israel, especially in the Druse religion, women are deprived and discriminated against. Although Gamila has lived in peace with the communities surrounding her, she has always believed the prospects were unfair to women. That is why Gamila Secret&nbsp;is grounded on her strong personal values: a strong social leadership for feminine emancipation, a culture of peace and collaboration in a world of conflict.
Gamila Hiar works tirelessly to educate and employ women, her mission is to improve the diversity, equity, fairness, and inclusiveness of the job markets. Furthermore, Gamila Secret only employs women from Arabic cultures in its production line in the factory.
As an Arabic woman herself, Gamila understands that women, especially in her culture, have to struggle against social resistance towards financial emancipation and personal satisfaction being mothers and workers. She has become a strong advocate for women&rsquo;s rights and has helped more than 2,500 women per year while sharing her experience on talks and keynote speeches on the importance of skills development for women&rsquo;s entrepreneurship.
Gamila Secret works in close connection with a local school to allow girls to participate in soap production processes, integrating those with special needs. Also, the partnerships with universities and other non-profit organizations through grants to enhance scholarship opportunities are ensuring that women students can build a better future in that reality. These initiatives have opened opportunities for other companies to partner with schools bearing in mind Gamila Secret&rsquo;s achievements, bringing opportunities for social equality and systemic change for underserved special needs children and youth.
At Gamila Secret we believe it is important to keep fighting for women&rsquo;s rights and to keep contributing to a fairer and more equal world. That is why International Women&rsquo;s Day maintains its relevance as a day to remember and empower all the women in the world. --- <a href="https://www.gamila.com/shop">Discover what Gamila Secret has to offer</a>

The hands are one of the most important parts of our body. We use them to feel the world around us, explore, work, take care of our loved ones and much more. But all this exposes them to direct harmful external irritants such as cold, heat, frequent hand washing, pollution and dirt. These can all weaken skin&rsquo;s natural barrier and cause our hands to dry out.
The hands have a different skin structure from other parts of our body. Actually, the palms of our hands are rich in fatty and connective tissue and have a high density of sweat glands but very few sebaceous glands. The top of the hand is low in fatty tissue, the skin is thin and sensitive and, like the back of the hand is low on sebaceous glands.
These Sebaceous glands are responsible for the production of sebum that helps keep the hands hydrated. So, our hands are less capable to bind moisture in and are more likely to dry out then other parts of our body.
Being such a sensitive part, it is important to take good care of our hands and wash them regularly, protect them from extreme weather conditions, drink a lot of water and, of course, apply hand cream.
<h2>But how many times a day should you apply hand cream and moisturise your hands?</h2>
In order to maintain hydration and prevent premature aging, you should apply hand cream whenever your hands feel dry. This helps enhance skin elasticity and keep moisture levels, as well as protect against chipping and cracking.
Since the the Covid Pandemic began, we are washing our hands multiple times a day and using hand sanitisers with high levels of alcohol that are more aggressive to the skin. This can cause dehydration, so it is important to apply hand cream every time you wash your hands.
Keep your hand cream in view and you will not forget it!
