Shapely full lips at any age

Lips get their shape and fullness in part from collagen. As we age, our body produces less collagen and the lips start to lose their plumpness. I am experiencing this collagen depletion now.

I have spent much time and money plumping and augmenting my lips with procedures like fillers and even bovine collagen. The bovine collagen injections were many, many years ago and yes, as a vegan of quite some time now and a vegetarian of almost a lifetime, I think back upon that with horror.

Lips are my devotion right now and I am always on the look out for products and makeup techniques that work to plump and create an appearance of fuller lips without having to “fill ‘er up”.

I found an interesting “How to”, 9 Makeup Tricks You Must Know to Fake Fuller Lips, online at Reader’s Digest. At Liveabout.com I found 6 Tips for Fuller Lips

A favorite lip product I recently discovered is Surya Brasil‘s 100% Natural, Vegan & Kosher Tinted Lip Balms. They are an organic and cruelty-free, They keep my lips smooth, and soft and hydrated. They are available in Blood Orange, Coconut Nectar, Pink Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Sugared Fig and Vanilla Dragon Fruit. I have every one. They are $4.99 each.

I am a skin cancer survivor so I must say, don’t skip sunscreen on your lips. If your lip products do not contain sunscreen be sure to put sun protection on first. That is always a must!

reNeu with NEUMA

Have you ever just got in the shower to wash you hair and it seems that no matter how much your scrub your scalp it just doesn’t seem to feel clean? Especially if you seem to have a dry scalp or a form of eczema or psoriasis. Not only does it seem that our scalp does not feel cleansed but also our entire body. But who ever heard of a shampoo that can double as a body wash that was organic, vegan, made from the extract of plants and 100% natural ingredients? Well, my friends YOU will. The reNeu Shampoo from NEUMA has quickly become one of my go to shampoos this summer.

reNeu Shampoo

reNeu Shampoo

reNeu Shampoo is one of NEUMA’S best selling shampoos. Not made with any synthetic anything, it is very lightly scented (with essential oils) and very gentle. It is infused with green sea algae and peppermint that help to soothe and thoroughly cleanse. When I wash my hair I can finally have that satisfaction of the shampoo getting not only my hair but my scalp clean. I can feel almost like a tingly sensation on my scalp as I wash my hair. This is the first shampoo I have ever used that I recommend for all hair types, and skin types. There is no fear if you have allergies, or skin conditions making it also a great body wash. But there is one little added bonus to the reNeu. It can be used as a toothpaste! Yes its that gentle. As a toothpaste it is very cleansing leaving your teeth feeling brand new & leaves your mouth very minty. So you have a 3-in-1 product.

When all else falls grab some NEUMA and join the journey. reNeu will leave you feeling renewed and healthy. Try out their other products by visiting your local salon. Visit www.neaumabeauty.com and see where there is a NEUMA salon near you.

Hair professionals now have the tools to support the growing demand for organics in the salon environment. Stylists can broaden their expertise and sensitivity more fully with all hair fabrics without harsh chemicals or toxic straightening agents when servicing unique hair textures in-between ‘curly’ or ‘straight’.

“Tela Beauty Organics will continue to provide safe alternatives and tools for the demanding salon professional and client by combining health, beauty, and science to address texture needs and concerns organically”, Pelusi concludes.

Within each formula, Philip Pelusi uses his proprietary micro-emulsion technology to deliver his unique Patent Pending Pelusi Ceramide Complex (2010), a moisture rich ingredient blend for hydration, strength and nourishment.

Smooth Operator and Curl of My Dreams contain Quinoa Protein, the “Mother Grain” as a key ingredient to deeply repair and revitalize dry, frizzy hair. Quinoa Protein adds vibrancy, natural spring and healthy bounce to tired curls and waves.

Smooth Operator is concentrated with Tela Beauty Organics exclusive USDA Certified Regenerating Blend: Horsetail, Reishi Mushroom, Sprouted Soy, Red Sage and Burdock Root to achieve lustrous blowouts and to protect hair against damage and color fade.

Curl of My Dreamsdelivers Tela Beauty Organics exclusive USDA Certified Organic Hydrating Blend: Marshmallow Root, Mountain Ladybell, Plantain, Reishi Mushroom and Solomon’s Seal to help replenish and define curls with weightless moisture and shine.
