Revitalize your skin with Silk’n ReVit

2650392_fpx.tif

 

There is one thing I have learned from reviewing various kinds of skin care, and that is, you rarely see immediate results. I have gotten immediate results from moisturizers as far as the softness of the skin is concerned. However, when you are dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, texture and tone, you do need to be consistent with a skincare product before giving it the boot. The same rule applies to skincare devices. I have been using a device called Silk’n ReVit, a DIY Microdermabrasion tool for a little over a month now and it’s a great skincare device, one that I am starting to see results with. It’s the perfect tool because you can use it in your home and take it on the go.

Silk’n ReVit is a microdermabrasion tool which gently exfoliates your skin, removing damaged and dead skin cells. It’s a hand held device making it easy to store because of it’s size. As you can see from the photo above,  Silk’n ReVit comes with three tips, Coarse for heavy exfoliating; Medium/Fine for gentler treatments,  especially for sensitive areas and Precision/ Fine for small or hard to reach areas. The Medium tip is working wonders around and under my eyes.

IMG_2195

The Results? With continued use of Silk’n ReVit, you will improve the texture of your skin, and soften the look of wrinkles, scars, age spots and acne scars.

The treatment only takes a few minutes and you will see the exfoliation results when replacing the disposable felt tip located inside the device (see photo above). You will see the damaged skin cells that have been removed using Silk’n ReVit’s vacuum stimulation process. Remember to place a new round felt (included) in your device before each treatment. Silk’n ReVit’s diamond peeling tips are the magic behind this fabulous tool.

I have noticed a smooth texture to my skin and smaller pores but don’t just take my word for it. I have been using this tool on a family member for the same amount of time and just a few day ago the comment from him, yes, the person is a male, is that his face feels and looks so much better.

Treat your face after cleansing with water and follow the instructions in the manual. Simply brush your skin in gentle motions for best results. Treat each area for up to 5 minutes. Wash your face after your treatment with cold water and follow up with a moisturizer. An SPF30 sunscreen is also recommended to protect your skin in between treatments.

What is nice about Silk’n ReVit is that it can be used every 3-4 days, and each session typically lasts 10-15 minutes. You don’t have to treat your face everyday to get amazing results.

Eye-Cream-02-640x640-1

 

The perfect moisturizer to use around your eyes is Silk’n Eye Cream with Squalane. This eye cream is designed to use around your eyes after your microdermabrasion treatment. Silk’n Eye Cream with Squalene will help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.  According to Silk’n, this eye cream is “Specially designed to protect the delicate area around the eyes, Silk’n Eye Cream is effective, fast-absorbing and instantly hydrates the skin.” What is nice about this eye cream is that it absorbs quickly and you can apply makeup right after applying your eye cream.

The magic behind Silk’n Eye Cream is the combination of Persian Silk Tree extract and Asteraceae Siegesbeckia Orientalis Extract to gradually lift the eyelids, creating a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Persian Silk Tree extract is known to protect skin cells and aid in the fight against glycation. This helps combat the sagging effect of droopy eyelids.  Squalane is also used to stimulate collagen and effectively strengthen skin.

Silk’n Eye Cream is Paraben free and can be used daily.

For the eye-catching two toned lips, first line lips with a deep red shade then apply a crimson red lipstick to both lips. (Try Younique Moodstruck Precision Pencil Lip Liner in Primal, SRP: $15 and Younique Moodstruck Opulence Lipstick in Stinkin’ Rich, SRP: $19).

Oscars Get the Look: Chrissy Teigen – Mary Phillips – Simple Skincare

unnamed

Here is a step-by-step breakdown of Chrissy Teigen’s Oscars skin and makeup look, compliments of her makeup artist, Mary Phillips.

Mary Phillips on Chrissy Teigen’s Oscars look:
“When doing Chrissy’s makeup, I took into consideration the gorgeous Marchesa burgundy floral gown with the sheer and golden portions that were woven through. It was very romantic and ethereal, but overall – completely stunning.

She’s very genuine as well in herself–what you see is what you get. That’s one of the things (of many) that I love about her, so what I want to do with her makeup is just go off of that. That’s what I tried to convey with this look: just sexy, real, confident and making a large emphasis on keeping the skin as dewy and glowy as possible–even though she already has that naturally.”

SKINCARE PREP
· Skin was prepped with Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water, lending it that instantly clean feeling

· Next, I used Simple Skincare Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, which absorbed right away and sealed in moisture. It created a great base that enhanced the makeup

· The last step for skin prep was using the Simple Skincare Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 as an eye cream. SPF products can create a sheen and radiance so you almost don’t even need an illuminator. I gently patted it on the orbital bone of her eye area–you want to be extra sensitive when applying anything to the eye area
FOUNDATION
· Using varying shades of foundation gives the most realistic effect for sexy, healthy 3-D skin. I layered Lorac Sheer POREfection Foundation—which is like a foundation and highlighter in one–with a blush brush and Beauty Blender
MAKEUP
· To mattify the skin, I applied Lorac POREfection Baked Perfecting Powder

· The Lancôme Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer was applied under the eye, down to the cheek area, on the outside of the bridge of the nose, outside the mouth, and along the cupids bow

· I added super sheer and barely there Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder to contour

· To set the makeup and add additional radiance, I dusted a little Lorac Light Source on the forehead, bridge of the nose, apples of the cheeks and chin
CHEEKS
· Just a little bit of Lorac Color Source Buildable Blush in Tinge was added to the apples of the cheeks and to the upper crest of her forehead near the hairline
EYES
· I used the lighter colors in the Lorac Unzipped Palette for lift and highlighting and the darker colors for depth and pop.

· On just the top lashes in-between the lash hairs, I added Lorac Front Of The Line PRO Liquid Eyeliner in Black to add a thicker, bolder lash without the heaviness of a liquid line sitting on top. Then I used Lorac Front Of The Line PRO Eyepencil in Bronze

· Eyes were finished with Lancome le Curler and Lorac Pro Mascara
BROWS
· To create dimension in her brows, as with her skin, I used a few shades of the Lorac Brow Pencil to brow “contour”

LIPS
· Lorac Pro Matte Lip Color in Nude and Rose Brown were applied with a lip brush for a smooth, luxe finish

· Lastly, I applied Lorac Alter Ego Gloss in Socialite all over with a brush for a subtle shine that wasn’t super glossy
