The secret to younger looking skin is Hynt Beauty SUN PREP

SP20-2T

I recently received a compliment on my skin when I was told I don’t look my age. That’s a very nice compliment, but I have to admit, I do work on it. I always put sunscreen on my skin before going outside, and I use good skin care products. I try many products, but don’t like everything I try. The Skincare I do like, I use regularly (that’s the key) and they are doing wonders for my skin. My latest find is from Hynt Beauty, formerly Christopher Drummond Beauty, SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30. This Sun Prep is fabulous, and I love it!

I love that SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 is a 3 in 1 formula, a primer, moisturizer and sunscreen all in one. I apply it in the morning after washing my face and before my make-up application. Sometimes I use it only as a sunscreen, and I love using it as a moisturizer especially before bedtime. The formula dries so quickly and is very lightweight which is perfect for bedtime. It also has an amazing scent, like a combination of coconut and florals. After reading the ingredients list (see below**) I knew my skin would be in good hands, after all, I do love the compliments.

SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 is so important because it protects your skin from UVA/UVB rays with “anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant rich organic plant extracts such as rhatany root, green tea leaf, wild pansy and licorice that soothe and protect the skin while creating a flawless base.”  SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 is perfect for the most sensitive skin.

SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 is formulated with ingredients that are safe for your skin and rich in organic plant extracts designed to hydrate and sooth your skin.

*hyntbeauty  lists some the  extracts that make SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 so unique“:

*PINE BARK EXTRACT : Slows down skin aging by enhancing skin’s elasticity and hydration levels while improving skin fatigue, improving skin’s smoothness and reducing fine lines. Pine Bark Extract has shown to significantly increase skin’s hyaluronic acid production when ingested as a supplement.
*ORGANIC SESAME SEED OIL: Rich in zinc, an important mineral in our body that can also increase skin elasticity and smoothness and reduce the appearance of age spots. Protects the body from foreign substances or toxins that get in through the skin.
*ORGANIC ALOE VERA LEAF: A powerful anti-inflammatory herb that calms, heals and encourages the production of keratin to rejuvenate tired skin. Also helps boost your daily sunscreen *by blocking up to 30% of ultraviolet rays.
*ORGANIC RHATANY ROOT EXTRACT : A shrub-like plant that grows in dry, high altitudes, its roots are rich in tannins and have effective natural astringent properties.
*ORGANIC GREEN TEA LEAF: A potent antioxidant that protects the skin’s cells from the damaging effect of free radicals. Stimulates microcirculation to enhance the tone and health of the skin.
SUN PREP Broad Spectrum Skincare SPF30 is all Natural, Vegan, Organics-based, PETA Approved, Gluten-free, and Non-Comedogenic. Naturally preserved and free of Toxins, Petrochemicals, Parabens, Nano-particles, Bismuth Oxychloride, Talc, Silicones, Mineral Oil, GMO’s, FD&C dyes, Carmine, and Phthalates.

category_sunscreen

 

My family uses suncare products all year long. I have all types, such as sprays, creams, sticks and lip balms that will protect just about every part of your body from the sun’s harmful rays. I remembered last year, we had family members over for a swim day, and they had forgotten their sunscreen. I was prepared for the adults but didn’t have any sunscreen that was specially formulated for young children. They were, however, happy to use what I had available to them. This year, I am prepared with CeraVe baby Sunscreen Lotion,  Face Lotion and CeraVe baby Moisturizing Cream. Now, when my family comes over for I swim, I can say “CeraVe is here to protect your baby’s delicate skin.”  What I am finding is that they are using my CeraVe baby products instead of their own and they are loving it.

CeraVe baby is new on the market, and I chose CeraVe because I like their adult sunscreens. CeraVe baby Face Lotion SPF50 is perfect for baby’s face and won’t run into your baby’s eyes. This sunscreen’s special features include being water resistant up to 80 minutes, it’s lightweight, oil-free and has InVisibleZinc formulation which when rubbed on your baby’s skin, provides a clear dry finish. CeraVe baby Sunscreen Lotion SPF45 provides some the same features as the face lotion is also hypoallergenic and is accepted by the National Eczema Association.

Last but certainly not least is CeraVe baby Moisturizing Cream. This is perfect for after a day at the beach, after bathing or anytime you want to hydrate your baby’s skin. Just about anytime is the right time for a little moisturizing and pampering for your little one.

CeraVe baby contains just the right proportions of ceramides that are very safe for your baby’s skin. CeraVe baby contains NO Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates or Fragrance. Most importantly, CeraVe baby is designed to deflect the sun’s harmful rays.

Wilma Schuman Algae Contouring Soap is more than just a soap bar

unnamed-1

This is no ordinary Soap Bar; it’s a Wilma Schumann Algae Contouring Soap.  Ordinary soap bars will cleanse you, but they are a little boring compared to Wilma Schumann Algae Contouring Soaps. This unique bar of soap will transform your skin with every stroke. The 2% seaweed it contains (from the Coast of Brittany in France), will help improve micro-circulation in areas on your body affected by cellulite. Wilma Schumann Algae Contouring Soap also helps assist the body in eliminating fat deposits in hard to treat areas.

IMG_1213

As you rub the soap bar over your skin, the texture of the soap, which you can see in the photo above,  provides a light exfoliation that feels tingly and refreshing. If you want to rid your skin of the dead skin cells and feel refreshed and renewed, this is the soap bar to use.  I am using this soap bar every night, and I have never felt better after a shower. You can purchase your own Wilma Schumann Algae Contouring Soap at wilmaschumann.com.

Here is a some information about Wilma Schumann Skincare that I found on their website:
“Wilma Schumann Skin Care products are the result of more than 30 years of research, testing, and dedicated professional experience in advanced European dermo-esthetic skin care. Wilma Schumann products offer the perfect selection for healthy skin maintenance, renewal and repair of your skin, either at home or in the skin care clinic.

Butterfly Studio Salon Color Expert, Cortney Crace discusses Babylights

unnamed-1

Babylights are the new “it” word in haircolor, and a huge trend for summer/fall! “Babylights are slivers of delicate hand painted pieces inspired from naturally sun-kissed or beach look hair – adding personalized ribbons of color to the hair,” says Cortney Crace, Butterfly Studio Salon Color Expert. “This will create polished hair color with the flair of a flirty and playful look. It’s a new application method of freehand balayage, a technique taking smaller sections of hair.”

unnamed-2unnamed-3

Babylights are perfect for color first-timers and beginners to highlights who are just looking for a simple way to brighten up their look without a drastic change. By adding small pops of color and subtle dimension to your hair, you can accentuate your facial features and skin tone. Babylights are also a great way to ease into a darker look for fall while still keeping a hint of that summer glow. “There is a huge focus on framing the face. The best example is our hair when we were young or when the sun hits your child’s shiny healthy mane. Babylights are applied with fine detail to give you a specific look as though you were born with it. We see celebrities sporting this look all the time, such as Sarah Jessica Parker for a bolder bronze look, Jenna Dewan Tatum has a subtle tone on tone version and Rosie Huntington – Whitley sports soft blonde baby lights,” says Crace.

Get to the root of your Gray with ROOTSTIX

Rootstix

I got to the root of my gray and ROOTSTIX made it all possible. The first thing I do when the gray starts to show is call for an appointment for hair coloring. The second thing I do is grab my ROOTSTIX for a quick touchup. ROOTSTIX is temporary hair color, and it looks like a slim felt tipped pen. The design of ROOTSTIX allows you excellent control when covering up gray strands. I found ROOTSTIX helpful when touching up small patches of gray.

I even used ROOTSTIX to cover up some gray hair in the eyebrow, and the results were amazing. ROOTSTIX is easy to apply and dries very fast. It is small enough that it will fit anywhere, your purse, gym bag or makeup case. ROOTSTIX will rinse off in the shower so make sure you always have ROOTSTIX handy for a quick touchup anytime, anywhere.

ROOTSTIX contains a  mild pigment that temporarily colors roots and they are available in three shades, Black, Medium Brown, and Light Brown. ROOTSTIX are also suitable for men to use. I used it on my husband, and I was amazed at how easy it was to work with because men’s hair, especially their eyebrows can be coarse.

Formula 10.0.6 is better than ever

Unknown

When I was a teenager, 10.0.6 facial cleanser was a staple in our medicine cabinet. I used it daily for minor problematic skin and I remember 10.0.6 helped prevent my breakouts. Fast forward 35 years later and Formula 10.0.6 is still going strong with a variety of new products. For my 26-year-old daughter, it all started with Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox, and she was hooked. As a 26-year-old young lady, she has had the range of skin problems, and oily skin is one of them. Formula 10.0.6 is a unique skincare line addressing a variety of skin problems younger people have to deal with.

She told me she “loved” Deep Down Detox face mask and it had a really good smell.  She also stated that “It does a great job absorbing excess oil and makes my skin feel super soft. There are also exfoliant beads in the mask that does a great job exfoliating my skin. After using the mask, my skin felt super soft, and it did help clear up and prevent breakouts. Also, I have very sensitive eyes and many beauty products irritate or burn my eyes. Deep Down Detox did not burn my eyes at all.”  

My daughter also mentioned she is enjoying Best Face Forward Daily Cleanser and plans on continuing with it. Best Face Forward has a pleasant smell and does a nice job cleaning her face without leaving residue or drying out her skin. These are very important factors for her when deciding to keep a new skincare. The fragrance factor and does it do its job?

She liked these products so much, I am sending her Formula 10.0.6 Seriously Shine Free, and I know she will love it. Seriously Shine Free is a mattifying oil-free moisturizer containing bamboo extracts, absorbing oils on your face. She will have smooth, soft skin that is shine free. Did you know that Bamboo in skincare is a natural exfoliant and has a polishing effect on the skin?

I thought I would also send her Formula 10.0.6 Three Times Sublime 3-IN-1 Blackhead Wash + Mask + Scrub. It contains Pink Grapefruit and Jojoba beads and will aid is removing stubborn blackheads and will cleaning pores while exfoliating.  I think she will like using this 3-in-1 product and will prove to be a huge timesaver for her.  It is the perfect product for her to take along when she travels.

Formula 10.0.6

As stated at their website: www.formula1006.com “FORMULA 10.0.6 excels at preventing troublesome young skin with ingredients that work. Created by a chemist in 1933, the current range now includes skin care products specially designed to promote clear, healthy skin.”

If you still are not convinced, check out the following list of ingredients found in Formula 10.0.6 skincare. It’s it’s all good stuff.

ALOE VERA, BERGAMOT, CALENDULA, CHAMOMILE, COCONUT, CUCUMBER, GRAPE SEED, GREEN TEA, GUAVA, JOJOBA, KAOLIN CLAY, OAT, ORANGE, PASSIONFRUIT, PEPPER, MINT, PINK GRAPEFRUIT, POMEGRANATE, PUMICE, SEA KELP, STRAWBERRY, TEA TREE,VITAMIN A, VITAMIN C, WITCH HAZEL, YARROW, ZINC

DIY tips from RPZL Headmaster especially for Brides

unnamed-8

Look One: Fishtail Crown Braid
· RPZL clip in extensions are needed to add the extra length and volume. Place the extensions in the direction that the braid will wrap.
Start the fishtail braid at the nape of the head and complete the braid
Attach the braid symmetrically around the head using bobby pins (same color as your natural hair) to secure
Leave a couple of straight strands to frame your face. These can be left straight or curled.
Spray with extra strong hair spray
Add any bridal hair accessories afterwards
An easier alternative to achieve a similar look (if you do not know how to fishtail) is to do a Braided Crown Braid, following the same steps as above, but using a traditional braid!

unnamed-9

Look 2: Sleek and Chic Low Pony
RPZL Clip in hair extensions should be added here for the dramatic length
This look can be done with or without a part
If you want a part, define the part using a comb
If hair is wavy or curly, use a flat iron to get a completely straight finish
Use a pomade to comb hair using a fine-toothed comb
The ponytail is a low pony at the nape
Use a strong elastic to secure the ponytail leaving a small portion of the hair outside of the elastic to wrap around to hide. Secure with bobby pins (same color as your natural hair).
Use a small amount of pomade on the ponytail and finish with extra strength hairspray
An easier alternative to achieving the same look is to use RPZL’s Pony in an Instant! With a simple click, you can achieve the same look. RPZL has the most expansive selection of color, texture and length ponies available and pre-blended options too that are ideal for presenting a natural look. Our Gorgeous Bride is wearing RPZL’s Daring Dark Chocolate!

unnamed-10

Look 3: Romantic Soft Curls
For this look, the hair has to be blow out with a volumizing spray at the crown. No part should be made. The division of the hair needs to be made while drying.
RPZL Clip in hair extensions should be added after drying the hair for a fuller and longer look
Tease the hair at the crown to develop the volume. Cover with a section of hair. The volume here is crucial for any bride wearing a veil.
Wrap a front segment of the hair above the forehead using pomade
Attached the hair in the back of the head at the nape. Use hair pins (same color as natural hair) to secure in place. We recommend a hair accessory to be used here if no veil will be worn.
For the soft curls, use a large barrel curling iron to set open waves. Make sure not to use a small barrel that will produce a tight wave.
Finish with an extra hold hairspray
