The Epione Cleartouch is one of my favorite cleansing systems. The device comes equipped with four different heads that each serves a different purpose, including: a face sponge, a pumice head, a small brush, and a large brush. The different functions allow me to focus on different parts of my body. I often use the pumice head on my feet. Since it is an abrasive, it removes the dead skin, leaving my feet feeling smooth all over. This device has really helped to balance my skin tone while reducing blemishes.  Summertime is especially sensitive on your skin because it requires a delicate balance between regularly exfoliating while preserving moisture to prevent breakouts. I have found myself regularly exfoliating with the brush this summer. Exfoliating cleanses the skin and allows for an even application of self-tanner. However, it is important to not go overboard with exfoliation because it often leaves the skin very sensitive to the sun. Remember to always apply a layer of moisturizer and sunscreen before leaving the house.

As the stress of college classes kicked back in at the beginning of this month, so did my temperamental skin. Not fun! Especially when you have eight a clock classes and don’t have a lot of time to apply cover-up! By mid-September, I started to find my perfect college routine, which included using Bioré Acne Clearing Scrub every night before bed. Within the next few weeks, gone were the mornings I had to reach for my cover-up because there weren’t any blemisheds to cover-up!

Bioré Acne Clearing Scrub is a salicylic acid acne treatment, meaning the formula of the scrub washes away the nasty things that result in acne, dirt and oil. Most importantly, this scrub did not damage, irritate, or dry out my skin, which are the problems I find with most other facial scrubs. All you have to do is wet your face, massage the scrub all over your face and rise! After a few nights of incorporating Bioré Acne Clearing Scrub into your nightly routine you will wake up with a clear complexionand a few extra minutes you would have spent applying cover-up!

Biore has other amazing skincare products and you can find them here; biore.com. You can also find Biore skincare products in most drug stores nation-wide.

Chelsea Scott , a seasoned professional with twenty years in the “Beauty Industry”, has created the TRUHAIR line of hair care products that work to add volume and body to your hair! An easy to use system, TRUEHAIR gives you that professional look and feel you receive at a salon, but in the privacy of your own home.

I was a perfect candidate for the TRUHAIR products with my short fine wavy hair. I usually have to take too much time with my hair to achieve a look that I like. I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to try the TRUHAIR products and be able to share my results with you!

THE PRODUCTS:
• TRUHAIR Extreme Volume Bodifying Shampoo – $21.50 :I liked the texture of this shampoo. It was very lightweight! TRUHAIR thoroughly, yet gently cleaned my hair. My hair didn’t feel coated or weighted down, as it often does with other products!

This Extreme Volume Bodifying Shampoo contains,“exclusive TRUHAIR Complex with panthenol, biotin, and actipelx complex 194 ~ with hops, goldenseal and witch hazel.”

You just need to apply and massage a small amount of the shampoo to your scalp and wet hair, then rinse. Your hair will feel so clean with no residue.

•TRUHAIR Extreme Volume Bodifying Conditioner will be the next product that you use after you shampoo! – $21.50 : This Conditioner contains the same premier ingredients and is also a very “lightweight” product.

With the TRUHAIR Extreme Volume Bodifying Conditioner your hair will be treated to an increase in volume as moisture surrounds the cuticle. As a result, you should notice “thicker-looking”, and “easier to manage hair.”

•TRUHAIR Raise the Roots – $19.95 : Raise the Roots worked very well for me. Once again, you don’t have to worry about it being too heavy on your hair ! It’s a “textured, fibrous cream” that allows you to “sculpt and style” your hair. “Apply it on damp hair from root to end, and also on dry hair for more definition.”

Benefits:
•”Volumizes”
•”Styles Hair Easily”
•”Enhances Fullness and Shine”
•”Works on all hair types, including color-treated”

Having short hair, I applied it to my damp hair at the roots for a lift! Then when dry, I added some to the front of my hair to get a perfect lifted and separated look. I was delighted!!

•TRUHAIR Tease Ease Volume Set – $22.50:
I personally use this set, and I also keep one in my professional makeup case!

You receive two wonderful combs for teasing, and the pick is perfect for parting your hair, and it will easily lift the hair at the crown for the ” bump” that makes your hair look much fuller. “These combs are made with durable rubber construction! This helps prevent breakage!”

The finishing spray is exceptional! It holds the hair for a long lasting style, and gives your hair a nice shine, but not a wet or greasy look!
