Skin care tips for a Natural Look

Skin is the body’s mirror of our inner health and wellness, both physical and emotional. Skin plays a vital role in our life, how one looks and feels directly correlates to ones skin. People with skin disorders such as acne, rosacea, and psoriasis often suffer from constipation, imbalanced “good” vs. “bad” bacteria, leaky gut, and other digestive conditions. Great skin is the first step toward an excellent makeup. Prolonged stress and poor diet can affect appearance and accelerate aging of the skin. The type of skin you have depends on your genes, sex, age, environment, structure and regeneration. Skin cleansing is essential: pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores; while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. If the cleansing process is not thoroughly undertaken, the skin will look and feel sluggish, tired and minor skin problems and irritations will transpire.Skin problems happen to everyone. They are unavoidable.They erupt nearly everyone’s face at some time and seriously affect more than half of all adolescents for some years of their lives. One factor is the major importance of diet. A diet for blemish-prone skin must be consistently high in protein and fresh raw fruit and vegetables. There are three rules to observe in the diet. First is avoid eating chocolate and foods or drinks make with cocoa. They could be link between chocolate and skin conditions such as pimples. Second is Avoid fried and fatty foods in general.Third is avoid starchy foods. No cakes, biscuits, sweets, bread or Jams.

blogHer moisurized me with Terralina

I’m happy to report I’m safely back from BlogHer07.  Back in the swing of things, we will head to the park “where grandma hurt she back” (girl2004).  All that traveling is hard on my skin for a couple of reasons… I’m sure the altitude does something to it, but also, I don’t drink water as much, I can’t stand using public restrooms and touching things — ewww! 

 I’m also disorganized and forgot moisturizer for my purse with all the worry of keeping things in the little ziploc to appease TSA!  That is soo annoying by the way…

 I was happy to receive some samples from Terralina at the conference.  The Body Lotion is AMAZING and fragrance free so it won’t compete with your fragrance.  It also has some great ingredients and claims to be natural!!  The sample size they gave us (1.5 fluid ounces) is perfect for travel since it can go in your carry-on and retails for $8 on their site, free shipping for $75 or more. 

Acne is a thing of the past with this product…

Every once in a while, especially when I’m stressed out or not eating well, I get some acne on my face. Sometimes for no apparent reason… There is nothing more annoying to me than having uncontrollable acne! but what to do about it is not always easy.  If only someone would teach us what to do about our skin, what products to use when there are so many to choose from.  Like any job, we need the right tools, a roadmap on how to solve the problem.

The key is getting products that prove to us and SHOW the results.  I especially like before and after pictures and think they are very compelling to show the story and the radical change acne makes on a person. It’s not just about beauty but also about self image, it’s hard to be confident with skin so badly damaged.

Emerge Acne Skin Care is a THE Signature of Excellence in Professional Skin Care.  If you’re looking for the best treatment for your acne, this line was founded by a team of dermatologists and chemists so you know you can trust the products and their efficacy.  You’ve paid for products that haven’t worked, don’t waste any more, get a product that will cure your acne once and for all, feel more confident and get all you deserve out of life.

crows feet, laugh lines, frown creases

Crows feet, laugh lines, frown creases call them what you will, they make me feel old and wrinkled.  When I was a child I stayed in the bath extra long so I would get all pruned up, getting old seemed so far off it was not a reality for me.  Don’t all children feel like that?  even as a young woman, I looked at some of the women I knew in amazement, how did they let themselves get so wrinkled?  the future is now, time flies by and I am starting to see those crows feet I never thought would catch up with me.

Now there is a great product Emerge Wrinkle Relaxing Serum has THREE non-toxic anti-aging peptides chemically conbined from naturally derived amino acids.  This product will help prevent fine lines from those facial movements, laughing and frowning predominantly. 

It is important to note that this product will not leave you expressionless like some other products will.  It increases collagen and elastin production helping fill in those wrinkles without messing with your muscles so you have control of your face!  This product also helps prevent premature aging  and you will see visible results in two weeks.  Get those before and after pictures going!

Emerge Skin Lightening Gel - no more lemons

If you have hyperpigmentations of the spin rom age spots, liver spots, freckles or skin pigmentation you may be looking for a clean, fresh looking start for summer.  A good skin lightner is needed to gradually lighten/whiten the skin’s color.  Whenever I think of skin lightening I think of poor Jan Brady cutting up lemons and rubbing on her face, us women with freckles sure have been through a lot!  If only the right products were available!

Emerge Skin Lightening Gel is a highly potent skin lightener with 2% Kojic Acid and 2% Hydroquinone so the effect is gradual.  I think it’s much better to take it slow with these things so you don’t lighten too much at a time.  This is not a heavy product it is light weight and water based, say good bye to those dark spots and discoloration.  It would be a very good idea to take some before pictures so you will have something to compare your new skin to.  This product will take 3 - 6 weeks to take effect and works wonders on stubborn pigmentation problems.  Don’t forget this is a potent product that will solve your problems and create a more beautiful you.

pores

the one thing I can’t stand about summer is that my pores get larger!  all that heat and steam just makes them explode…. it’s especially important to drink lots of water and stay hydrated or they’ll get all clogged up… ewww… that’s so gross… I wish I had time to go get a facial but things are so hectic, and most places around here want an appointment for weeks in advance.  With dh’s schedule it’s virtually impossible, so what I’m saying is I need some really great products.  I especially like face masks, I bought some at Crabree & Evelyn a little while ago so I need to actually get off my tuffett and use it… I usually did this kind of stuff at night but I may do it during the day and scare the heck out of my kids!!

Emerge Vitamin C Plus Serum silky softness

When I’ve neglected my skin for a few days I feel really guilty and look even worst! Things happen and I get busy with the kids and neglect my needs. I can see the dryness on the surface, that’s when I want to find something that will give me the fast, effective results that I need.  A product that can deliver immediate results on contact!
 
Emerge Vitamin C Plus Serum is silky-soft to the touch.  Perfect for use on your face and neck when you need it the most - a perfect pick me up when you’re having a bad day, or something to look forward to after work.

This serum will reduce the visibility of the fine lines and improve the tone of your skin to give your face and neck a slimmer, firmer look.  The serum also has a special Micro Encapsulation which keeps Vitamin C reserved to slow release technology.  This gives you a boost of Vitamin C for hours.

Beauty should NOT be invasive

I have a pretty strong belief that beauty should NOT be invasive!  There are lots of different procedures that will not hurt you or leave a scar.  The Victorian Cosmetic Institute is based in Melbourne Australia and has a great website with lots of information making it a valuable resource for anyone, anywhere, considering treatment.

The website has a lot of content, a pit stop for learning more about non-invasive beauty treatments.  Don’t miss the laser hair removal  which is very detailed on who is and isn’t eligible for treatment, the youtube videos are excellent!

Laser Tattoo Removal is something I need to look into, I am seriously considering removing my mistake, in case nobody has told you, tattoos look totally different after 3 kids! The Skin Pigmentation section is interesting too with gobs of useful information about your skin and most importantly, good before and after pictures.  Take your time and browse the site.
