Pevonia SPA CLINICA® PRO introduces Micro-Retinol™

I’ve always liked using a synergistic approach to skincare. It seems that the products are able to complement one another as they work together within a skincare system. As a result, the harmony of their ingredients give you the opportunity to achieve the full benefits of the system’s protocol.

Recently, I was able to try the “at home easy four step protocol from a global leader in spa skincare”, Pevonia SPA CLINICA® PRO.

2.MICRO-RETINOL™ ESSENTIAL TONER (Active toner, Alcohol Free) – I love toners. They make sure you skin is completely clean, and “prepares your skin for further treatment”! This toner contains aloe and is very hydrating. It does not make your skin feel dry, but very clean and healthy!

Ingredients include: Retinol, Vitamin E.,Hyaluronic Acid, and Lemon Peel Oil.

4. MICRO-RETINOL™ ESSENTIAL MOISTURIZER (Tri-phase, homogenized) – This moisturizer has a great texture. I applied, and in and upward motion gently covered my face and neck area. It absorbed into my skin, left an uplifting feel, and a very radiant look! It’s a “hydrating cream that helps with elasticity and wrinkles, and evens pigmentation and the complexion.”
Ingredients include : Squalane, Collagen (Marine), Elastin (Marine),Retinol, and Hyaluronic Acid.

Agadir Argan Oil Introduces Hair Shield 450

Agadir Argan Oil Hair Shield 450

 

When styling our hair lets all admit it, we all crank that dial to the highest temperature without really thinking about what it’s doing to our hair. Yes, it may look nice for that evening’s dinner party, but after a while those high temperatures are really damaging your beautiful hair your mother once gave you. Before using the harsh high temperatures on our hair to straighten or curl it, you definitely need to put some kind of protector in before hand. There are so many different products out there on the shelves that seem to offer the same thing, but how do we know which one is right for us? The new Agadir Argan Oil Introduces Hair Shield 450, which works for any type of hair!! 450 degrees seems pretty high for our hair to be between two metal plates, but in fact that is the real reality of what we are doing to our hair and eventually if we don’t protect it, we will ruin it. The Hair Shield Plus Intense crème treatment is specially formulated to withstand intense direct heat up to 450 degrees. It is devised to keep hair moisturized, and soft while protecting the sensitive areas. The alcohol, sulfate, and paraben free Argan oil based crème formula is color safe, and gives hair the proper nourishment, definition, and shine without fading your color. It is made to resist humidity, and frizz for people especially like me whose hair turns into a bee’s nest after blow-drying your hair. When using this product with my damp hair after my shower I actually noticed results right away. Usually when I do start blow-drying my hair, my hair turns into a frizz ball, but in fact the Hair Shield 450 did the exact opposite. Those loose frizzy hairs seemed to stay tacked with the rest of my hair creating a smooth and soft look right after I was done blow- drying. Not only did it look good, this crème smelled amazing. My mom even went up to my hair asking what I put in it! If your looking for something new to protect, repair, and shine, this product is definitely your go to girl!

The Intense Crème Treatement is available in select salons nationwide and at www.agadirint.com

Retail: $30.00, 10FL Bottle.

Chrome Girl for the Holidays

C
I love being festive for the holidays, especially Christmas, so this year I loved Chrome Girl nail polish. I have “Poetic Potion”, which is a metallic color, “Midnight Madness” which is grey, and “Spiritual Hunter”, which is green. All of these colors go great with Christmas time. The Midnight Madness color went on very easy and I applied just two coats. It has a little shimmer to it which is cool. All of these colors and more can be bought on chromegirl.com for around $12. They are even great for a last-minute Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!!!

Experience a “Hug in a Bottle” with ESPA Restorative Bath Oil !

We all lead busy lives and rarely take “even” a moment to reset our “mind and body equilibrium” to achieve that wonderful feeling of a “balanced state” of relaxation.

I was so fortunate to be introduced to ESPA Bath and Body products, and when they say ESPA’s products are nicknamed, “hug in a bottle”, I can tell you first hand that it’s the perfect classification for these products!

I’ve been using the ESPA Restorative Bath Oil each day !

ESPA Restorative Bath Oil


As a lover of aromatherapy, I really enjoy the ability to “escape” into a warm bath and be surrounded with a “hug” from ESPA’s comforting oils :
• Sweet Orange
• Rose Geranium
• Lavender
These are the perfect oils to soothe anxiety, settle your nerves, and calm your spirit!
Along with:
• PalmaRosa that will help with “firming and toning,”
and…
• Sweet Almond Oil to “deeply nourish and impart a more smooth and supple skin.”

Not only will ESPA Restorative Bath Oil assist you in “resetting your equilibrium for a calmer sense of well being”, but your skin will be pampered giving you a sublime sense of renewal! Surround yourself with the balancing aroma of this relaxing, much needed down time …”just for you”!

Cleansing Water is Now in a Wipe

cleansing wipes

I know this may sound horrible coming from a licensed cosmetologist who also specializes in skin care, but I do not enjoy washing my face at night. The only result from that is embarrassing, “hard to get rid” of acne. After discovering Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water wipes I can remove my makeup in one swipe. Cleansing Spa Water wipes are oil and alcohol free and is infused with 6 essential herbs to protect the skin.

They are made with the thermal water from the Yumura Hot Springs in Izumo, Japan. I have used many different kinds of makeup wipes that say they are infused with such and such things and I end up not being satisfied or breaking out in a horrible rash.

With Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water wipes I have not had any problems. They nurih my skin and remove all traces of makeup from my skin to my eyes. Koh Gen Do Cleansing Wipes can be found at your local Sephora stores or online at www.sephora.com

Shop at CVS where Generic is Better

unnamed-1

I recently tried the CVS facial cleansing power brush and the oil free acne scrub. They are both compared to name brands of Olay and Neutrogena and I couldn’t tell any difference between them. They are much cheaper and work just as well. I use the facial scrub and power brush together and I noticed it reduced the oil on my skin, and the brush made my skin feel so smooth.

The oil free acne scrub has a great smell of pink grapefruit, and as you can tell in my picture I was a little excited to use it before I took the picture!! They are both gentle enough to use every day. The power brush already comes with two brushes and two AA batteries. Is not harsh, but gentle on my skin to remove the excess makeup and dirt after a full day. The oil free acne scrub really goes along good with this. The power brush is only $20 which I think is a great deal compared to Olay’s brush which sells for about  $30. Since this brush is water resistant, I always use it in the shower to make it much easier. I would definitely recommend these two if you’re looking for an effective way to refresh your skin!
