Tip # 7 of 365 - Your Fountain of Youth

Most people do not hydrate their skin properly, some not at all.  There are a couple key things you can do that won't break the bank. 

1) Toner - all skin needs water moisture and using a toner throughout the day can help as well as cut down on skin over producing oils. Mist lightly over skin mornings before applying serums and or cremes.  Mist during the day, even right over makeup to help with hydration. Mist again at night after cleansing and before applying serums and or creme. (Clarify - steps to skincare are Cleanse, Tone, Serum (some people do not use a serum), Creme (some people do not use a creme)

2) Eat water rich fruits and veggies.  Foods like watermelon or cucumber help the skin hydrate from the inside.  

3) Use a serum and cremes with Hyaluronic Acid. This ingredients helps skin retain water. This ingredient can be made from plants like sweet potatoes so be sure to ask your skincare professional the source of the ingredient.

Tip 5 of 365 from LGH&B: Serums

Serums are the Number 1 most important product in your skincare steps. The amount used is about a pinto bean. Serums have the most corrective properties and this is where you will spend the majority of your money in a skincare product line.

Tip 3 of 365 from LGH&B - Eye Cream 

This is one product that most everyone over uses and wastes. The size for both eyes is the size of a grain of rice. Use your ring fingers to apply and gently pat around eyes, do not rub in.

Tip 2 of 365 from LGH&B - Face Cleansers: 

Use about the size of a dime. If in a pump bottle usually the size is pre measured making it super easy. With really good products you may only need a 1/2 pump over time as your skin become healthier and less dehydrated.

LG-Skincare beauty reviews #1

Date: 11/08/13   Review on a Retina based Skincare Treatment

I am approaching these blog posts from the view point of what I would want to know if reading or watching a video review on products and or services from the beauty industry.  I hope you find these Friday blogs helpful, fun, and worth your time. I also hope you will comment and ask questions.  I love to interact with my readers.

It has been really difficult to select my first item to review because there are so many and I don’t want you to think that just because I selected this item that it is my absolute favorite, because I have a number of favs.  In fact if you saw my bathroom you would probably think I had a beauty product addiction. I just view all these products as making me an expert. Wink! What can I say it is my business to know about products not only for my clients but for myself.  And there is sooooooo much to consider when picking what products are best and why.

Today’s review is on the brand new Arbonne Genius 60 Nightly Resurfacing Pads and Solution treatment.  I love this product!!  It has made my skin smoother and is reducing my forehead lines as we speak.  The bonus to this product is I can even use it on the backs of my hands, elbows and heels to help exfoliate these areas.  It can be tough to apply a mask treatment and leave it on these areas for any amount of time.  With the left over product in the pad, after I used it on my face, it is so easy to just wipe it over the hands, elbows and heels with no mess or wait time.  My heels had started to crack and now at the end of my first 60 days they are pink, soft, less dry, and not cracked. So happy!! This is a 60 day retina treatment that harnesses a plant based vitamin A with great results but less aggressive so every skin type can use it, even teenagers can use this without having to worry about stripping their delicate skin.  It helps with cell turnover to keep skin looking radiant, keeps dead skin and oils from clogging pores, and helps skin with firmness, evens skin texture, and brightness. The only thing I am not a 100% excited about is the texture of the pads that the solution is on, they are a little rough but won’t keep me from using it, the benefit far out ways the roughness of the pads.

This product is only sold through Arbonne Independent Consultants. A Consultant can be found by going on to the Arbonne.com site or (shameless plug – just contact me and I will be your Arbonne Consultant). J Order online, pay $20 to become a Preferred Client and get 20% off the $95 retail price every time an order is placed, may I say the twenty bucks more than pays for its self in a couple orders.  Plus there are some cool membership rewards, like money towards next orders. Get an even bigger discount with the Special delivery option.  *I’ll save my review on Arbonne and their business model for another post. 

From a Professional view, this time of year is a great time to use a retina product.  The sun is less harsh and people tend to spend more time indoors.  Retina products used during summer can cause problems with pigmentation and redness.  While I have not used this certain product over the summer, yet, it is always smart when using retina products to wear a sunscreen, stay in the shade, and did I say wear a sunscreen?  (wink)

 

One last bit of advice. Really curious about this product, buy it, try it, Arbonne has a 45 day return policy any products. I have used Arbonne products now for 7 years and the only things I have ever returned were actually exchanges due to minor packaging problems nothing to do with the product itself. 

 

 

Happy Friday!!!

BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!

 PS. The Friday product reviews will not be all Arbonne.  I will be reviewing all kinds of brands.  Come back and read for yourself. If there is a product that should be tried and reviewed by me, let me know.
