Ever since I got back from the Orlando Hair Show, I have had a new outlook on my whole career. I am more confident in how I do hair and how I address my clients sitting in my chair. I have noticed that my clients like my passion for what I do and that makes them want to come back and see me.

You know we all have people who inspire us. Someone we look up to who helps us realize just what it is we love to do. When I was at the show I got to meet my inspiration to become a hairdresser, Nick Arrojo. When I was in high school I always made it point to watch “What Not To Wear” on TLC. Next to “I Love Lucy” it was and is my favorite show. The best part about the whole makeover was seeing what hairstyle Nick would come up with. At the time I had no idea that hairdressing was what I really wanted to do but I did know that I loved fashion.

I was soooooo happy to meet Nick and tell him just what an inspiration he is to me. In high school I was interested in acting and singing. I loved being on stage and being seen my many people. At the show I saw Nick doing just that (minus the singing and acting). He was in front of people showing off his amazing skills and in his own way, he was “performing” for a big crowd of people. That is my dream, to be a platform artist.

After high school I was just like many other young adults. I had no idea what it was I wanted to do as a career. I jumped from thing to thing but could never settle on one particular career. It wasn’t until 6 months after I graduated did I know that the beauty industry was my calling. I always knew I was artistic but I knew I could not draw or paint. I decided to give hairdressing a try. While in beauty school I realized my love for hair. With the help of Nick Arrojo and my teachers hairdressing has become my passion and I would not give it up for the world. Thank you Nick Arrojo for being my inspiration.

“LUMENE (Quote) is a holistic beauty and well-being company that focuses on skincare and color cosmetics and is developed and manufactured in Finland by a team of experts using state-of-the-art technology.”

In this article I’m going to share two “Fab” LUMENE timesaver products with you, but I also encourage you to visit their website:
www.LumeneUsa.com and take a look at their nice selection and range of products.

You can also conveniently find LUMENE products at a CVS, ULTA, or a DUANE READE store near you!

First, let’s take a look at a LUMENE product that is perfect all year round, especially if you’re making a quick change from a day look to an evening look as you head out “on-the-town” after a busy day at work, or are running late between appointments and need a quick “pick-me-up.”

This time of year during the warmer weather , LUMENE Gentle Cleansing Wipes are a necessity in your “Beauty Arsenal”. They are perfect for “touch ups” on the go, and will keep you looking your best throughout the day. They contain no alcohol so you don’t have to rinse your face when you use them, and they are small enough to fit in your handbag.

Once you start using these Gentle Cleansing Wipes, you’ll want keep a couple packs on hand. I now keep one in my professional makeup case at all times, and always carry one in my personal tote bag! These portable Gentle Cleansing Wipes from LUMENE are the perfect timesaving solution!

Here is an efficient timesaver for removing your eye makeup. LUMENE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover is definitely a gentle and effective product to use for removal of shadows, liners, and mascara… especially the “stay all day” waterproof products! It can also be used to remove your lip color!

I believe most of us are aware that our eye area is very delicate, and it’s always a good idea to be very gentle when applying and removing cosmetics around the eye! LUMENE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover is a real timesaver, yet very efficient product that quickly cleans the eye with no tugging or pulling.

All you need to do is shake the container and apply a some of the liquid remover to a cotton pad. Close your eyes and lightly sweep the pad from the outer corner of your eye to the inner corner to remove the shadow and liner, then clean the mascara from your lashes. Remember to keep your eyes closed and rinse off with water. I have special washcloths that I use for that purpose. They are inexpensive and I lightly blot any excess residue into the washcloth, and my eyes alway feel so clean and soft after using the LUMENE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. Cotton pads with water will also work. (Keep in mind that you may need to use a couple of cotton pads with with water to remove any leftover product from your eye if you wear a lot of shadow, liner, and mascara.)

In the long run, this LUMENE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover really does the job quickly, and gently! That is the main objective when you clean your eye area. Using a product that works and is gentle!

In conclusion, products like LUMENE Sensitive Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes, and LUMENE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover provide terrific “shortcuts” and effective results, and I highly recommend you give them a try!

Meet Ronald Moy, M.D., Celebrated Board Certified Dermatologist in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Moy’s dedication to caring for the skin has been a life long endeavor, and with thorough research he has developed a skincare system called DNAEGF Renewal.

In fact, Dr. Moy’s motto is (Quote) “Repair the Past, Protect the Future!”

I was very fortunate to be able to try the complete system and personally experience the synergistic solutions of DNAEGF Renewal by using products that in my opinion compliment each other and deliver the results that do exactly what they say they will.

Quoting Dr. Moy,“Our team has researched the impact of time and the environment on your skin for years. We now know that damage can be reversed and prevented with key ingredients in DNAEGF Renewal.”

The perfect opportunity to introduce yourself to the the DNAEGF Renewal Skincare System is with the DNA Renewal Travel Set!

What is so nice about this Travel Set (Pictured above) is that it’s simple and easy to use, and you’ll not only receive travel sizes of Dr. Moy’s DNAEGF Renewal basic skin care system with a travel bag, but always be ready to go on vacations, business trips, ect. with this perfect portable Travel Kit!

Your DNA Travel Set will include:

I really enjoyed this light weight foaming cleanser. After using it my skin felt clean and fresh. A gentle exfoliation completely cleaned my skin, removing top surface cosmetics and other impurities, and my face looked and felt so refreshed!

This is a daily “must have” for your skin. It will protect you from damaging UVA and UVB sun rays, and protect your skin from photoaging and cellular damage. It’s also very light on your skin and penetrates nicely.

DNA Intensive Renewal is applied each morning. Once again, this is such a nice lightweight product and it contains the highest amount of DNA enzymes that (Quote) “target the skins natural DNA repair process. Encourages production of critical intercellular water channels for a visible surge in skin’s moisture levels.” It’s very gentle but provides a mild exfoliation that eliminates any impurities on the surface of your skin, and really leaves your face feeling clean and “rejuvenated” !

DNA Renewal Night is the treatment you’ll use in the evening. (Quote) “DNA- Night “Repairs the signs of photo damage and aging skin with advanced dual liposome delivery system for intensified nighttime recovery.  Provides complete support for cell repair activity during the sleep cycle for fresher, healthier skin.  Contains high levels of DNA Repair Enzymes, peptides, and botanical actives to boost cell repair”.

All of these products in the Travel Set are available in the larger sizes for your home use, and there are two additional products I was able to try that I highly recommend you check out, as well!

The first product is Growth Factor Serum.

I really was intrigued with the promotional information that came with the Growth Factor Serum and was amazed how silky it felt when I applied it to my face. This is a plant based formula with the main ingredient being “Barley Epidermal Growth Factor” that is used for anti-aging.. Technically, (Quote) “Growth Factor Serum stimulates the growth of healthy skin cells which results in enhanced texture, smaller pores, and fewer wrinkles in three months or less.” I use this product first, after washing and drying my face. I then let it dry completely before going to my next product.

I must say that I recently walked into a major department store to purchase some cosmetics, and was told by two cosmetic counter employees who I hadn’t seen for a number of months, “You absolutely have no wrinkles on your skin. What are you doing?” I was elated, and so pleasantly surprised by their comments!

(Quote)”Growth Factor Serum is the most advanced serum to self correct the negative effects of skin aging and reprogram skin to act young again.”

The other product I was able to try was DNA Eye Renewal.

The DNA Eye Renewal quickly absorbs into the delicate eye area and works on dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and crow’s feet. I did notice the texture of my lower eye area was nicely hydrated, and smoother after continual use. That was especially noticeable to me after applying my under eye concealer. My eyes remained soft without product separation as often occurs under my eyes, and as a result, has me applying hydration throughout the day! With DNA Eye Renewal, I only need to apply it once in the morning and my under eye area stays smooth and unwrinkled all day long! That is very impressive and saves me a lot of “touch up” time!!

By using Dr. Moy’s complete DNAEGF Renewal Skin Care System, as I mentioned earlier in this article, the synergistic combination of products really showed a difference in not only the appearance of my skin, but the tone and texture is definitely moving in the right direction and looking firmer! My makeup application has a nice finished yet natural look, and the products are very easy to use.

When you go to the website, www.dnaefgrenewal.com you’ll be able to get a variety of information about DNAEGF Renewal, the science behind the product, reviews, press & news about the products, and much more! You will also be able to purchase your products right on the website!

I give 5-Stars to Dr. Moy’s DNAEGF Renewal and all of the dedication and research he has put into the creation of such an advanced skin care system !

All of the products above are also available at Dr. Moy’s Anti-Aging Clinic in Beverly Hills, California.

I just returned from the Preimere Orlando Beauty Show a few days ago and I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had. It was like Disney World for hairdressers. While I was there I met Nick Arrojo from TLC’S What Not To Wear and Michael O’Rourke of “Rock Your Hair By Michael O’Rourke”.

Even though I didn’t get to take many classes I still learned alot about my industry and rediscovered my love for doing hair. To hear more about my trip stay tuned throughout the month of June for all my Beauty Show Discoveries.
