A second chance with Repêchage

A few weeks ago I shared my at home seaweed facial with all of you that I discovered through surfing the internet. I hope if you are giving it a try that you are loving it and relaxing with seaweed. Today I have a skincare line that I have been using for quite sometime and discovered at Premiere Orlando, that is made with the number one ingredient..SEAWEED!!! Thats right more seaweed. Repêchage skincare is your true “Beauty From the Sea” skincare line that not only helps with acne but can help with dry, anti aging, normal, sensitive and more. As well as all your body care needs.

Since 1980, Repêchage (which mean “a second chance”) has taken pride in using only the best seaweed and ingredients to help give you the best skin of your life. Trust me! Having a tremendous amount of acne and having struggled to find the perfect product my whole life, I am so happy to have found Repêchage to add to my skincare routine. The Hydra Medic line ( that I currently have been using) is a perfect amount of acne medication to help start clearing it up in the first use. After my first use of Repêchage, I could feel the tingly sensation that digs down deep giving the ultimate clean. The 4 Hydra Medic products I use are the foaming gel cleanser, astringent , serum and nightly drying lotion. They are all gentle enough to use on a daily bases.

Repêchage uses a variety of different seaweeds, all found off the Brittany Coast of France. Each bundle of seaweed serves its own purpose when it comes to the range of skin conditions (check out the differences here-http://www.repechage.com/shopcontent.asp?type=About+Seaweed). I guess you can say this is truly from “20,000 leagues under the sea”. After it has been gathered, it is processed the “Repêchage” way to give it the most nutrients. Repêchage also carries nutrient based mineral makeup of foundation, powders, concealers and lip gloss. Seriously with so much to choose from, Repêchage is a must try product for any skincare concern.

Getting back into the routine

Have you ever been on vacation and found it hard to keep up with your skincare routine? If you are anything like me, when being on vacation you dont want to be bothered with things like that. Mainly because you may get tired :). I know its horrible for a beauty enthusiast to say. Having spent about 3 1/2 days in St. Augustine FL, with the incredible heat I found that there was no reason to do to much knowing it would get sweated off but still lathered up with sunscreen. I love my skincare routine so today I am going to share my steps on how I “baby step” my way back into a healthy skincare regimen. By healthy I mean no more soda, alcohol, fried foods etc. You know all the stuff we tend to eat and drink when on vacation lol.

skin

When I got home the first thing I did was unpack all my skincare products and put them back in their original places. I did this thinking that if my mind was set to know they were back in place I would automatically do it tonight. If I kept them in their bag then it would probably be that I would not cleanse my face at all. Next, I went straight to the fridge and filled my water bottle up. Another “mind trick” that if it was already done more than likely I would start drinking and filling it up from then on.

Next get rid of all junk food!!! Junk food is one of the culprits to breakouts, dry skin etc. It literally will suck the life out of your skin. If that means finishing everthing then go ahead and do so but it will be out of the house. This will also help if you want to start back on your healthy eating. I find that if I do that then I have no choice but to eat all the healthy stuff. *wink* lol

So these are just 3 “mind tricks” you can take to help you get back in the swing of things. If you have any other ones I would love to hear how you get things started. Have som skincare fun!

Deborah Mitchell’s New Skincare Collection is HEAVEN

new_edition_cleansing_cream_120ml_288

I am lucky to have gotten my hands on a few products from Deborah Mitchell’s New Skincare Line HEAVEN.  I especially like the New Edition Cleansing Cream.  “It is the first bee venom cleanser in the World”.  It is so gentle that I can wash my entire face, even my eyes without any stinging or irritation. This cleanser works beautifully. New Edition Cleansing Cream will cleanse for face and thoroughly clean any eye and eyebrow makeup from your face,  leaving your skin clean and refreshed. New Edition Cleansing Cream is a fabulous anti-aging cleanser with a light and pleasant scent and is gentle enough for all ages. One of its best features it offers a natural botulinum injectable alternative in this cleanser.

As stated in their website, www.heavenskincare.com “Heaven by Deborah Mitchell is a luxurious range of anti-ageing, all-natural skincare containing organic ingredients, which have been developed for a radiant, flawless complexion and to help heal skin conditions, from blemishes to eczema.”

 

peppermint_clarifying_hydrogel_120ml_288

 

The Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogel is just as amazing. I especially like serums, and this is the perfect compliment to the cleanser that I am using morning and night time. Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogel contains organic Peppermint and Spearmint oils which gives the Clarifying Hydrogel a delightful scent. I have been using the Hydrogel in the morning as a primer after cleansing and at night time after cleansing. The texture is light and quick drying but does not dry out your skin. My skin has been smooth and soft, never dry and oily. Especially since the weather here has been hot and humid, I need a primer/moisturizer to leave my skin dry but hydrated, and Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogel does just that. This Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogel, like the New Edition Cleansing Cream, is suitable for all skin types. My 19-year-old daughter is also using it with me and experiences no dryness or greasiness on her face, she loves it.

Deborah Mitchell’s New Skincare Collection uses only natural and organic ingredients, with proprietary ingredients like ABEETOXIN, a bee venom that mimics botox, this anti-aging line provides instant and long-lasting results.

Introducing Restylane Silk

GLADERMA INTRODUCES Restylane® Silk

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk

If you are looking to add a little more plump to your lip without looking like you have been stung by 1000 bees or hit by a baseball bat Restylane® Silk is now available!

Restylane® Silk provides natural-looking lip definition and smoothes wrinkles around the mouth

Restylane® Silk, the first and only dermal filler that is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for subtle lip enhancement and the treatment of wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Restylane Silk is a smooth hyaluronic gel that is designed to restore natural youthful definition and symmetry to the lip and mouth area.

As people age, fat and collagen in the face begin to deteriorate and bone loss may occur, leading to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles. In the lower part of the face, this often results in lost lip volume and definition and an increase in lines around the mouth.

Look at these natural before and afters:

B4 & after

B4 & after

I believe that any cosmetic changes should be considered carefully. I strongly advise anyone thinking about any type of enhancement to go to a highly skilled and trained doctor. The lip zone is very complicated and you really need a doctor that has thoroughly trained in administering the only FDA approved lip filler Restylane® Silk

When learning about Restylane® Silk, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ellen Marmur.

Dr. Ellen Marmur is a leading dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. She is a recognized and admired expert in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery, Mohs surgery reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and women’s health dermatology. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Marmur is an Associate Clinical Professor in both the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Genetics & Genomic Research at The Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Dr Ellen Marmur is a elegant as she is accomplished. She is living proof that good dermatology can provide you with the fountain of youth. Personally if I was considering any type of fillers I would be most comfortable with a doctor who embodies good taste and brilliance. I think we can all

Dr Ellen Marmur demonstrated with precision how natural Restylane® Silk can look when administered in a skilled way. Duck lips are definitely a no-no in Dr Marmur’s surgery. The volunteer patients looked really natural and were thrilled with the results!

“The perfect face comes down to mathematics!” stated Dr Marmur. If all specialized doctors adhered to this notion there would be a lot less excessive augmentation of lips!

Sun Protection at its best is Australian Gold

SPF_30_Sheer_Coverage_Lotion

Everyone needs to worry about skin protection. It’s not just the summer months we need to worry, after all, we do go outside even in the cooler weather. Regardless of the weather, hot or cold, we need to protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Australian Gold is the perfect suncare product to do just that. I have used Australian Gold Instant Bronze Self Tanning Lotion in the past and now I am giving my son Australian Gold SPF30 Lotion Sunscreen to take with him on his winter break. I chose Australian Gold SPF30 Lotion Sunscreen for him because of its InvisiDry Technology. The InvisiDry technology absorbs and dries quickly and also spreads on clear. You won’t even know you have it on once it is rubbed on to your skin.

Australian Gold SPF30 Lotion Sunscreen offers Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection, is Water Resistant up to 80 minutes, is mineral oil-free and has a fabulous fragrance.

Lip_Balm_SPF_30

If you want to maintain healthy and soft lips, try Australian Gold Lip Balm. I always use a lip balm when I’m not wearing lipstick like when I’m outdoors walking, biking or just hanging out in the yard. Australian Gold Lip Balm provides sunscreen protection and contains  natural Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Jojoba, keeping your lips soft. Australian Gold Lip Balm’s Antioxidant formula helps fight free radicals and helps prevents burnt or chapped lips. Did I mention the lip balm has a fantastic flavor of The Kiwi-Lime?

Balance & center your skin with SebaMed

More skin care fun coming your way today! As we all know over the holidays we tend to eat an excess of sweets which can cause rough, dry and acne prone skin. We forget that what we eat and drink effects our outer appearance. I have never been the healthiest person but recently I hav noticed an increasingly big difference wth some of the changes I have made in my skincare routine, both inside and out. But today I am going to talk about one of my new “outer” skincare products, SebaMed moisturizer.

SebaMed Moisturizing Face Cream is made with no parabens and is formulated to help keep sensitive skin at its natrual pH level (5.5). It’s non-greasy, absorbs quickly leaving skin feel smooth as well as Vitamin E to help fight off pre-mature aging. After using for 2 weeks my acne has cleared up and my skin is no longer “leaking” oil haha. My acid mantle, located on the surface of your skin acting as barrier, is well balanced which is what SebaMed’s goal is all about to help skin heal itself. When you think about it our skin is an amazing organ just by all it does to protect our insides.

Video coming soon.

So next time you are lost at finding the right skincare remember SebaMed. If your nice to your skin it will be nice to you in return 🙂 Check out www.sebamedusa.com for all their products.
