naturally  with  no  chemicals,  and  no  machinery  that  applies  heat  or  pressure  to  the  ingredients  which  could  damage  or  degrade  the  effectiveness  of  the  material.

The  Ingredients    

The   Radiant   Beauty   Anti   Ageing   Face   Mask   is   made   from   the   following  ingredients:    

Pueraria  Mirifica  (also  known  as  White  Kwao  Krua  or  Kwao  Kreu  Kao)    The   use   of   Pueraria   mirifica   in   Thai   Traditional   Medicine   as   an   anti-­‐ageing  treatment   for   skin   and   other   age-­‐related   and   degenerative   conditions   can   be  traced  back  at  least  700  years.    Discovering   the   plant   in   the   mid   20th   century,   western   scientists   dubbed   the  plant   the   ‘fountain   of   youth’   for   iyts  multiple   anti   aging   benefits   –   ‘mirifica’   in  Latin  name  means  ‘miracle’.    Over  the  past  two  decades  there  has  been  increasing  modern  scientific  validation  with  the  identification  of  17  different  phytoestrogens  in  the  plant  –  a  very  much  richer  source  of  phytoestrogens  than  soy  isoflavones  or  red  clover    Pueraria  mirifica  has  been  used  by   natural   health   advocates  over   time   to   treat  a  wide  range  of  conditions  including:

Beautea  Superba  (also  known  as  Red  Kwao  Krua  or  Kwao  Krua  Dang)      Equally  used  for  centuries  as  a  complementary  ingredient  to  White  Kwao  Krua,    Beautea  Superba  offers  a  similarly  wide  range  of  anti  aging  benefits  and  curative  properties;  however  it  is  primarily  known  for  its  clinically  proven  use  in  treating  erectile  dysfunction  in  men  –  to  the  extent  it  is  widely  known  as  ‘natural  viagra’.    Just   some     of   the   benefits   of   this   natural   ingredient   mimic   modern   ED  medication;   i.e.   the   plant   acts   as   a   vasodilator   as   well   as   a     c-­‐AMP  

Phosphodiesterase  inhibitor   leading   to  increased   ability   to   attain  and  retain  erections.    Butea   superba   contains  flavonoids   and   flavonoid  glycosides   which   are  increasingly  being  linked  to  a   range   of   health   and   anti  ageing  benefits.    Other   ingredients   are  believed   to   assist   stamina

Add  Natural  Honey  and  Yoghurt  Locally    The   last   two   ingredients,   natural   honey   and   natural   yoghurt   (which   can   be  replaced  by  milk  or  even  water  if  desired)  are  not  supplied  by  Royal  Siam  owing  to   the   difficulties   related   to   shipping   these   ingredients.   However   these   are  available  at  a  local  level  across  the  world      

Natural  Honey    Honey  includes  sugars  (e.g.  glucose  and  fructose)  along  with  minerals  including  magnesium,   potassium,   calcium,   sodium   ,   sulphur,   iron   and   phosphate.  Depending  on  the  nature  of   the  nectar  and  pollen,  honey  contains  vitamins  B1,  B2,  C,  B6,  B5  and  B3.    Honey   contains   powerful   antioxidants   and   has  antiseptic  and  antibacterial  properties  on  at  least  sixty  species  of  bacteria,  and  unlike  antibiotics,   is  non-­‐toxic  and  has  strong  effects    Honey  has  been  used  by  natural  health  advocates  over  time  for  many  purposes  including:

Natural  Yoghurt      (We  recommend  natural  yoghurt  provided  locally  as  the  liquid  ingredient  –  other  

liquids  or  milks  may  be  used  if  desired).    Yoghurt   has   been   used   in   skincare   for  centuries   and   is   a   rich   source   of   zinc,  calcium,  and  important  B-­‐vitamins.  The  fats  and  proteins  contained  in  yoghurt  and  milk  help  moisturise  skin  and  also  help  the  skin  to   retain   its   moisture   and   alleviate  symptoms   of   irritation   including   sunburn  as   well   as   some   skin   conditions   like  psoriasis.    Lactic   acid   in   yoghurt   and   milk   acts   as   a  

gentle   cleanser   and   exfoliant,   and   its   probiotic   nature   contributes   beneficial  effects  and  ability  to  calm  irritated  skin.

What  to  Expect  From  Treatment    Treatment  with  the  mask  is  suitable  for  both  men  and  women,  clients  ranging  in  age  from  mid  teens  to  those  in  their  80's  and  even  90's  have  all  reported  positive  outcomes   from   treatment,   and   the   treatment   is   suitable   for   all   skin   types   and  may  be  used  on  any  part  of  the  body.  Many  of  the  test  subjects  who  initially  used  the  product  as  an  anti  ageing  facial  treatment  only  have  begun  using  the  product  as  an  all-­‐over  skincare  treatment  as  often  as  once  or  twice  per  month.    Those  who  have  used  the  product  commonly  make  the  following  observations  of  their  skin,  usually  evident  immediately:    

v treated  skin   is  noticeably  softer,  an  outcome  that   is   identified  by  almost  all  participants  in  the  trial  

 v fine   lines   and   wrinkles   are   less   prominent;   skin   tone   and   elasticity   is  

visibly   improved;   overall  observations   being   the   skin  appears  younger    

v skin   condition   and   tone  (colour)   becomes   more  consistent.   Areas   of   uneven  pigmentation,  melasma,  patches  of   irritation   and   redness,   areas  of   excessive  oiliness  or  dryness  decrease  in  size  and  severity    

           

 

v sagging   skin   areas   reduced  with   greater   skin   tautness   especially   under  the  eyes,  jowls,  neck  and  under  upper  arm/armpit  area  

 v skin  previously  described  as  'dull'  improves  in  its  luminosity  or  radiance  

 v skin  feels  clean  and  refreshed  -­‐  especially  if  the  mask  has  been  used  as  a  

gentle  exfoliating  treatment  (see  more  later)    

v blackheads  are  reduced,  enlarged  pores  shrink    

v for   those   suffering   with   acne   the   acne   cycle   is   accelerated   with     acne  appearing   following   the   first   and   sometimes   second   application   of   the  mask.   However   those   with  acne   prone   skin   who  continue   with   regular  treatments   (on   a   roughly  monthly   cycle)   report  significant   improvements   in  the   recurrence   of   acne  outbreaks  

 v reduction   in   both   excessive  

oily   areas   of   skin   as  well   as  areas  of  dry,  red  or  irritated  skin  

 v users   with   skin   conditions  

including  dermatitis,  eczema  and   psoriasis   did   not  experience   negative   effects  and   in   some   cases  commented   on   symptoms  appearing   less   intense   after  exposure   to   the   mask.  Elimination  of  dry  flaky  skin  in  eyebrows  were  noted  by  some  people  

 

Long  Term  Effects    Every  individual  is  unique  and  the  responses  to  this  treatment  vary.  However  the  indications   are   both   from   historical   use   of   this   treatment   as   well   as   current  observations   that   the   benefits   that   are   noted   following   each   treatment   are  evident  for  some  time  and  these  benefits  are  maintained  when  the  treatment  is  repeated  every  1-­‐2  months,  and  in  some  cases  the  benefits  are  incremental  with  positive   changes   occurring   over   the   period   of   6-­‐12   months   with   treatments  every  4-­‐6  weeks.  

           

 

 

Instructions  For  Use    Warning:   This   is   a   100%   natural  product,   totally   authentic   to   Thai  Traditional   Medicine.   The   product  will   stain   fabrics   and   surfaces   such  as  wood  or  wallpaper  -­‐  however  will  rinse   off   hard   surfaces   such   as  bathroom   areas   easily   while   still  moist.   Prepare   the   area   and  wear   a  smock   or   apron,   tie   your   hair   back,  and   keep   some   paper   towels   or  similar  handy  in  case  the  unexpected  happens.   If   you   plan   to   apply   the  mask  yourself  this  is  best  done  in  the  bathroom   -­‐   for   your   face,   do   this   in  front   of   the   mirror   above   the   hand  basin.   For   the   rest   of   your   body,  

stand  in  the  bathtub  or  shower  enclosure.    

Preparation    First,   purchase   at   your   local   supermarket   or   store   some   natural   honey   and  natural  yoghurt.  The  honey  should  be  100%  pure,  golden  'runny'  honey  and  you  will  have  a  choice  as  to  what  is  the  best  available  to  you.  If  you  can  obtain  it,  we  recommend  there  is  no  better  option  that  New  Zealand  Manuka  honey.    The   yoghurt   should   be  natural,   unsweetened  and   without   any   other  ingredients   included,  and   this   should   be   a  white   or   off-­‐white  cream.      You  will   need   a  mixing  bowl   (porcelain   or  metal   is   recommended  to   prevent   the   bowl  becoming   discoloured),  a   mixing   and  application   utensil  (kitchen   spatula   or   a  simple   dessert   spoon  

           

 

or   similar);   the   honey,   yoghurt,  and  Royal  Siam  dry  powder  mix.    Allow   10   grams   of   the   dry   mix  powder   for   a   facial   mask  application;  30g  if  you  plan  an  all-­‐over   treatment.   Allow   about   one  third   of   the   dry   powder   volume  for   honey   and   the   same   for   the  natural  yoghurt.  Warm  the  honey  slightly   under   warm  water   or   in  the   microwave   to   make   sure   it  flows   freely.   You   can   replace   the  yoghurt   with   regular   milk   if   you  wish  -­‐  or  even  water.    Place  the  dry  mix  powder  into  the  bowl   and   add   a   small   amount   of  the   honey   and   yoghurt,   mixing   the   ingredients   together   with   your   spoon   or  spatula.  Add  more  honey  and  yoghurt  little  by  little  and  keep  mixing  -­‐  do  not  add  too  much  all  at  once.  The  aim  is  to    have  a  thick  creamy  mix  that  is  moist  enough  to  spread  on  your  skin  reasonably  easily  without  there  being  dry  lumps,  but  not  so  wet   that   it   does   not   stick   to   the   skin   or   runs   off.   Think   of   it   as   icing   for   a  wedding  or  birthday  cake.    Now  for  the  fun  part.    

Some   people   prefer   to  wear   surgical   gloves  when   applying   the  mask  however   this   is   a  matter   of   personal  preference   and   is   not  necessary.      Take  a  small  amount  of  the   mask   -­‐   no   more  than   half   a   teaspoon   -­‐    and  place  this  lightly  on  a  area  of  skin  you  wish  to   treat.   Then   using  your   fingertips,   gently  spread   the   mask   to  cover   a   wider   area   of  skin   using   a   circular  motion,  or   long  strokes  to  make   sure   the  mask  

           

 

is  fully  spread  onto  the  skin   surface.   Repeat  this   until   you   have  covered  all  areas  to  be  treated;   and   with   any  left   over   product  simply   repeat   the  application   in   the  areas   that   need   most  attention   (excess  product  will  keep  for  a  week  or  longer  if  cover  and   placed   in   the  refrigerator).    

You  should  leave  the  treatment  mask  in  place  for  at  least  20  minutes  -­‐  the  longer,  the  better.  While  this  happens  you  don't  have  to  stay  still!    The  mask  acts  as  a  highly  effective  exfoliating  treatment  and  the  level  to  which  you  want  to  do  this  is  up  to  you.  You  can  apply  the  mask  lightly  or  massage  it  into  your  skin  with  firm  pressure  for  several  minutes.  For  maximum  effectiveness  as  an  exfoliating   treatment,  wait  until   the  mask   is  nearly  dry  and   then  vigorously  and  with   firm  pressure  massage   it   into   the   skin  with   a   circular   or   long   stroke  motion.  Here  you  will  find  the  mask  will  roll  into  clumps  or  small  balls  of  product  -­‐  removing  dad  skin  cells,  impurities  and  toxins,  clearing  pores  and  invigorating  the  skin.      Many   people   find   the   process   of  leaving   the   mask   until   almost   dry  and  then  vigorously  rubbing  it  off  the  skin   for   several   minutes   to   be   an  excellent   treatment   for   arms,   legs,  and  the  body  while  reserving  a  more  gentle  approach  for  the  face  and  neck  -­‐  however  this  is  a  matter  or  personal  preference.    Once   you   have   completed   he  exfoliating  stage  to  the  desired  level,  it   is  now  time  to  rinse  off  the  mask  -­‐  this  is  best  done  with  plenty  of  water  -­‐  Goldilocks  style,  not  too  hot  and  not  too  cold.  Doing   this   in   the   shower   is  ideal.    Any   of   the   mask   that   has   dried  should   easily   dissolve   with   warm  

           

 

water   and  there   is   no  need   for  vigorous  scrubbing   -­‐  just   continue  to   rinse   off  the  mask  with  warm   water  (no   soap)   and  a   gentle  rubbing   until  the   water  runs  clear.    It   is   likely   you   will   still   have   residue   clinging   to   your   skin   -­‐   especially   the  turmeric  which  is  a  yellow/gold  colour.  So  now  you  need  to  use  a  gentle  cleanser  to  thoroughly  remove  the  last  of  the  mask  residue.    Do   not   undo  much   of   the   benefit   of   the   treatment   by   using   regular   household  soap  or  detergent,   but   use   a   quality,   gentle,   pH  balanced   skin   cleansing  bar   or  cream  -­‐  such  as  Royal  Siam's  pure  Queen  Bee  Facial  Cleansing  Bar.    Finally   gently   dry   your   skin   with   a   soft   towel,   without   the   need   for   frenzied  rubbing.  You're  good  to  go!    Before  declaring  final  victory,  however  -­‐  rinse  off  any  residue  of  the  mask  from  your   handbasin,   shower   or   other   surfaces   and   if   you   have   accidentally   spilled  any  of  the  mask  or  ingredients  onto  clothing  make  sure  you  treat  this  to  prevent  a  permanent  stain.    

Warnings    While  the  mask  is  designed  for  external  use  the  ingredients  are  all  non  toxic  and  should  cause  no  problems  if  a  small  amount  is  accidentally  ingested.    Avoid  getting  any  of  the  mask  in  your  eyes  and  if  that  does  happen  rinse  out  with  warm  water  immediately.    Should   you   have   any   symptoms   of   an   allergic   reaction   to   the   mask   such   as  development   of   a   rash,   itching,   pain,   swelling   etc   cease   use   immediately   and  rinse  off  with  water.  If  the  problem  persists  refer  to  your  health  professional.
