#36: Treat your skin to a facial to rejuvenate it. The facial must include a massage to improve blood circulation and promote the growth of new cells.
#37: We’re adventurous but it IS better to understand ur skin type before trying products & recipes to avoid ending up with a blotchy, red face!
#38: One of the most important things is to start with a very clean base, use a good quality cleaner to remove any of your existing makeup.
#39: “Beauty isn’t worth thinking about; what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a $50 haircut on a 50-cent head.” Garrison Keillor
#40: For clear skin slice off the top of a strawberry, rub it on a just-clean face. Wait 10 minutes, then rinse.

I feel so lucky to be living in an age of advanced technology where experts and professionals come up with all types of products and advice to keep me looking beautiful. One of my favorite beauty products ever invented is the blotting tissue which ranges from the traditional paper kind to the more recent film-like ones from the likes of Gatsby and Clean and Clear. For many years now, this invention has kept my face shine-free throughout the day.
On my most recent trip to Japan in August, I discovered two new types of blotting tissue. The one in the picture with the green packaging is supposed to blot up all your sweat and keep your pores very clean. The one in the pink packaging is supposed to make your pores smaller. So far, I have tried the pink one and have fallen totally in love with it. It has a powdery film-like texture that makes my face shine-free and more even-toned. I love how they added a sparkle to the product, so that my face actually brightens up in the afternoon when I use it. I haven’t had a chance to try the green one yet but will let you guys know once I do.

#29: Did you know? Vitamin A and C are both anti-aging fighters… You can find them in our Vital Nanoemulsion a-vc
#30: Follow the goodness of “water therapy”. Drink a lot of water as it helps to get rid your body of toxins.
#31: The restoration clear gel is our best selling product for a reason: This gentle gel will exfoliate your skin, leaving you with less wrinkles and a healthy glow.

#33: As you get older you need to use less make-up, not more! Too much, can be extremely aging and too much powder is the biggest culprit.
#34: Even if you don’t apply mascara, do curl your lashes to make your eyes look more open and awake.

#11: Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. Instead, oily skin gals can use toner as moisturizer.
#12: Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference.
#13: The skin around the eye contains no fatty tissue and is therefore very thin and susceptible to wrinkles. Special eye creams are formulated to ‘thicken’ this area and keep it sturdy
#14: Your skin care routine should be simple and include cleanser, exfoliation, moisturizer, spot treatment and sunscreen.
#15: Natural skincare products should be kept out of direct sunlight to avoid discoloration & get max shelf life.
#16: Sunscreen is the most important part of your skincare regimen, even during winter. The number 1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage!
#17: And remember: your sunblock should be applies at least 15mn before going into the sun.
#18: Our patented emulsification technology makes it possible to create nano-sized particles of products more effective when massaged into the skin. Hence the name of our Nanoemulsion cream!
#19: Vitamin B will help promote a healthy skin tone and glow. Time to stock up!
#20: Keep your glow in this scorching heat: Start drinking three litters of water every day. Since water flushes out all impurities from your body.

Why should I clean my face twice? That was my thought when I first heard about a process called “dual cleansing”!
If you’re like me, your cleaning routine (especially on a late night of partying) is to wipe off the eyes with some lotion and a cotton pad – after all, we’ve been conditioned to never go to bed with makeup on- splash some water and vigorously dry my face (instead of the gentle patting beauty experts recommend) to make sure everything is gone. Ha!
That clearly did not clean anything (if the eruption of pimples is any indication).
I started religiously washing my face with a nice, expensive cleanser, massaging everything diligently for 60 seconds only to discover traces of mascara or foundation on my pillowcase the next morning!
I was quite dubious of cleansing gels or “pre-cleansers” as they like to call them and yet, one day, decided to give it a try. After all, they were all the rage on makeupalley’s skincare board!
Well, let me tell you: it is the most effective way to really remove dirt before cleaning my skin without ripping my eyelashes off with the eye makeup remover (yes, I rubbed my eye lids with the cotton pad. How else am I supposed to do this?)
To my big surprise, cleansing gels remove EVERYTHING, not just my eye makeup: by massaging the gel into the skin, it blends with the makeup and other impurities and really lifts everything up. Wipe it off and follow with a cleanser (this will remove whatever is left) and you’re finally cleaning your face.
Dual cleansing is really the only way I’ve kept my skin clear. Just make sure you choose a cleansing oil or gel suitable for your skin type (there are plenty on the market, so every budget can find the appropriate one; but watch out ladies, I heard a dermatologist once say that if you don’t thoroughly rinse off the cleansing oil—it can lead to the clogging of pores and breaking out!) and voila: squeaky-clean skin…
And since you’re reading this blog, go have a look at our non-clogging, cleansing clear gel and follow it with the washing foam. All the info you need is at: http://www.marielouisecosmetics.com/products_cleansing_clear_gel.html
