Fave Beauty Tweets Of The Week

#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.

Fave Beauty Tweets of the week

#28: Uneven skin-tone? Alpha-arbutin (as found in the crème a-vc)  is 10x more effective at brightening and maintaining an even skin tone.

#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.

#32: If you sleep in a bedroom with central heating your skin will suffer and become dry because of lack of moisture in the room – the remedy is a bowl of water placed on your radiator which will increase the humidity in the room

#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.

#35: Doing a lot of traveling for work? Invest in our travel kit (You can refill them with our products once they’re empty!) Convenient and green!

Fave Beauty Tweets Of The Week

#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.

A Brand New Beginning

 

So…here I am…never thought that I would actually write about my beauty adventures…failures and successes?  I had my first pimple when I was 11 and now many years later, after thousands (yes…I’m not exaggerating) of products, my skin seems finally under control.  Well, at least most of the time.  This has been a long journey and my skin is still changing from time to time depending on the weather, my moods, eating habits, sleeping patterns and mostly importantly the types of products I use to accommodate my Indecisive SKIN that seems to be always changing.

One of the first things I learned is that once damaged, repairing is really not that easy just like any relationships.  Therefore, prevention is the key.  No matter how many advertisements, commercials and sales people that assures you that their products are the best and will undo the damage either immediately or soon.  Just remember that the damage was not made in a day, therefore, it will take much longer for your skin to heal.  Why not start early and the first things that you can do is wear sunscreen.  YES!  I know, that’s it!  I know, it sounds so simple but a lot of us including myself didn’t realize how much damages the sun could do to my skin until my late 20s.  So, STOP BEING LAZY and just apply a layer of sunscreen before you go out!
