I hope you’re enjoying the summer, wherever you are. I’m finally settling into the Greek life. It’s been hot here and my Rosacea people are on my mind. Back when I did the trial for Beauty Formula No. 9 Rosacea/Sensitive, so many of you shared that heat and sun were the biggest triggers for your rosacea flare-ups. I relate. Though I don’t have rosacea, I am noticing my irritability rising if I stay out in the midday sun too long. Beauty Formula No. 9 Rosacea is the best remedy for this season. It puts out the fire of rosacea and brings an inner calm, increasing tolerance to environmental triggers (think travel, air conditioning, spicy foods, hot countries, change of any kind). Add to this the beautifying and magnetizing qualities of No. 9 and you’ll be cool as a gorgeous cucumber.
You don’t have to have rosacea to benefit from Beauty Formula No. 9. If, like me, you get irritable when it’s hot out, No. 9 will give inner chill.
Ayurveda, the ancient healing system of India, calls this excess heat and irritability Pitta imbalance, and they recommend cooling foods for this time of year. Bitter greens, watermelon and cucumber, are in heavy rotation in my daily meals here. A big salad with arugula, cucumber, and fennel for lunch every day has been my go-to. Try to limit overly salted, oily, fried and spicy foods.
COOLING GREEK SALAD
Since I discovered that tomatoes, peppers and onions in the Greek salad I normally eat can be heating, I’ve modified, but kept some of the Greek :)
Arugula chopped
Cucumber
Radicchio
Endive
Fennel
Kalamata olives (Anti-inflammatory! Black olives are ok for pitta, but avoid green)
Olive oil
Lemon
Sea salt
A little feta (goat and sheep, never cow) can be added or protein of your choice.
Favor light proteins and beans (lentils or chick peas are nice) over meat
Here’s my favorite vegetarian Ayurveda cookbook. Everything I’ve made from this is delicious and you can learn more about Ayurveda. Make the recipes to balance the Pitta dosha!

Here are some love letters about No.9 that are too good not to share :)
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve had rosacea for almost a year out of nowhere - tried everything. I’m extremely holistic & although i’ve swapped and elimated so much, your remedy has almost healed me in one week. I’m so grateful. There really aren’t words - I have my face back but also a sense of confidence I haven’t felt in a very long time. An internal sense of confidence. My best friend was shocked.

This is the only thing I've used that seems to make a difference on my rosacea. I'm on my 4th bottle.

Incredible Calmness!
I've had this restlessness for years that I've never been able to pinpoint the cause or get rid of, and Beauty Formula No.9 has taken it away! The calm I feel is incredible! It feels like this formula is doing deep healing.
