ROGUE VALLEY NATURAL SPRINGS^TM, Inc.

A Breakthrough in Natural Moisturizing for Dry Skin and Eyes.

The best way to maintain skin health and improve or prevent acne is to follow the "Two H's" of good skin care, hygiene and hydration (cleansing and moisturizing):

Hygiene. There is no better skin hygiene method for acne sufferers than the NATURE'S MIST^® Six-Step Cleansing Process.

Hydration. There is no better moisturizer product for skin hydration than NATURE'S MIST^® pure, natural, mild, Ph-correct spring water from Oregon. NATURE'S MIST^® is the only water clinically researched and demonstrated to benefit dry skin, which causes overproduction of sebaceous oil, which causes oily skin which causes acne (pimples and/or zits) from the only water company specializing in water for the human skin.

Some facts about acne.

Acne is most common between ages 13 and 40.
Acne can be triggered by heredity, hormones, stress, diet and pollution.
Acne is caused by dry skin (dehydration), which causes overproduction of oil (sebum) in the skin.
More than 20 million teenagers suffer from oily skin and acne.
Teenage acne occurs on the upper cheeks, nose, chin and forehead while adult acne occurs on the lower cheeks, jaw, chin and neck.
Adult acne is common among women in menopause.
Substance abuse can cause acne.
Early intervention can lessen the severity of acne pimples and prevent scarring.
Many excellent medications will unclog pores and kill bacteria.
Directions for Application

NATURE'S MIST^® spring water and acne treatment.

Acne is not just a teenage problem. With the increase in air pollution and other global challenges, adult acne is increasing. Regular use of NATURE'S MIST^® spring water as directed, including the Six-Step Cleansing Process™, not only benefits acne treatment, it helps prevent acne pimples from getting started. NATURE'S MIST^® is an exciting, mild, natural, pH-correct spring water moisturizer from the Earth. The two-ounce size can be carried anywhere and used whenever needed, wherever you happen to be.

The NATURE'S MIST^® Founder spent many years researching and testing her natural spring water on teenagers and acne sufferers. Company documentation confirms that when NATURE'S MIST^® is applied in the morning using the NATURE'S MIST^® Six-Step Cleansing Process™ (See "Directions of Application"),NATURE'S MIST^® is reapplied frequently throughout the day and NATURE'S MIST^® is applied before applying skin medication or moisture sealers; skin moisture and pH balance are benefitted and acne (both teenage acne and adult acne) begins to heal.

Company research documents that when NATURE'S MIST^® is used prior to application of medication, the mist helps activate the medication so that less medication is required and the medication goes farther (See note, below). This research is augmented by the company's 1992 national consumer survey, in which 42 percent of respondents reported an "improvement in dermatological problems" after using NATURE'S MIST^® as directed for two weeks (not all respondents had dermatological problems, otherwise the percentage would have been much higher).

Note: According to a prominent biomedical researcher, "Hydration is among the most important factors in skin penetration, increasing the rate of passage of all substances that penetrate the skin." (Reference is on file and may be examined on request).

Acne and your skin's moisture balance.
Research by the NATURE'S MIST^® Founder has shown that human skin, to look beautiful and function at its healthy best, has a number of requirements:

An 80% water content (water is the key to all life on Earth).
A slightly acidic pH balance to protect against infection.
Adequate production of oil from the sebaceous glands for lubrication.
The correct balance between moisture and oil.

With the proper moisture/oil balance, the skin's moisture and oil blend in a healthy, natural manner: Oil lubricates the skin and holds in moisture (skin lotions also hold in moisture), while water, the basis for all life, keeps the skin (including oil glands), soft, healthy and glowing. (The definition of "proper moisture/oil balance" differs among individuals because no two people's fingerprints or moisture requirements are alike.)

Moisture and oil.
Overproduction of oil in the skin (oily skin) may result from dry skin, insufficient daily moisture, heredity, age, skin color, hormones, stress, weather (wind, cold, sun), perspiration, improper diet and too many toxins in your body. Excessive oil can be a problem up to age 40. After that, too little oil, a factor in aging lines, becomes the more common condition. Darker-skinned people tend to have more oil and not enough water in their skin while lighter-skinned individuals tend to have more water and not enough oil.
Whatever the cause, the most important consideration in maintaining the proper moisture/oil balance, is to provide the skin with adequate external moisture. To be benefit the skin's moisture/oil balance, acid mantle and overall functioning, a moisturizer applied to the skin must be a water that is mild, natural, pH correct and applied as a fine mist. For this, there is only NATURE'S MIST^®.

When the skin's water and oil are out of balance, the result is usually excess oil because oil displaces water. When there is too much oil or too little water, the skin's pores and sebaceous glands can become oil-clogged and saturated with dirt and toxins. This leads to bacterial infection, especially when the dryness has also disrupted the skin's natural pH balance, which protects against bacteria. Improper cleansing can greatly aggravate the situation (See "Directions for Application").
The result is oily skin and the familiar acne blemish (although the same or similar circumstances can result in other dermatological problems). If you discover acne blemishes on your skin, you should always be concerned. Blemishes (pimples and zits) not only affect your appearance and self esteem, they signal that things are not running smoothly in your body. A trip to the doctor or a lifestyle change may be in order.

Some NATURE'S MIST^® acne testimonials.
(References are on file and may be examined upon request.)
A powerful NATURE'S MIST^® testimonial comes from a woman in Oregon who suffered from severe teenage acne, then chronic adult acne. As a result, in her 40's, her facial pores were noticeably enlarged. After applying NATURE'S MIST^® several times a day for two weeks, carefully following the Directions for Application, the enlarged pores were gone!
"People couldn't believe it," she reports. "Everyone kept telling me I looked wonderful. They kept asking what my secret was. They wanted to know if I was using a new makeup or had a face lift or a chemical peel. My only secret was NATURE'S MIST^®."
Another endorsement comes from a woman college student who developed chronic blemishes as a result of athletics. Her parents spent thousands of dollars on Dermatologists and medication, which helped but didn't cure the condition. The condition went away, finally, when she began misting with NATURE'S MIST^® prior to applying her medication.
