Feel Sexy With Suave

Body oil is a favorite of many nowadays. I have met many people who say that after their shower they like to smother themselves in baby oil to give their skin a soft, supple feel. The only fall back i here is “it makes my skin feel very greasy”. With Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray you can get stunningly beautiful shine to your skin without that greasy after math.

suave professional

I used to use baby oil after my bath but ended up becoming extremely sensitive and just kept breaking out instead of giving me a nice soft feel.  When using Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil, I didn’t break out, it made my skin feel and smell amazing and I did not have any greasy after math.  Who wants to feel like they just spent 2 hours at the gym right after stepping out of the shower. NOT ME!!! With the Dry Body Oil Spray no more nasty feel and added  incredible moisture. No more “thirsty” skin.

Suave Professionals Moroccan Dry Body Oil can be found in your local drugstores and you can also find it online. Check out the link below!

Look Better Than Ever in the Shower with Cassani’s Fogless Mirror

61RSqpRv3aL._SL1500_

Product Pictures always looks nice on the box but do the products work. I can tell you with certainty that Cassani’s Fogless Mirror works to perfection. We have one hanging in our shower right now and my husband  gave it a big thumb up. Cassani has improved their fogless mirror and it has a nice modern oval design. The new oval design gives the mirror added width and height to match the shape of your face including your  neckline.

The fogless mirror has a hole punch on the top and we have ours hanging on the hook at the bottom of our shower caddy.  It’s the perfect spot because all of our shaving supplies are stored there and you can check yourself out at a glance anytime you are in the shower. You can also lift the mirror right off the hook and change the location of the mirror at any time. The Cassani Fogless Mirror allows you  to shave and you can actually see yourself. Cassani’s Fogless mirror also includes two stainless steel adhesive wall mounts which will give you other hanging options. You can attach the mirror and razor on the wall mounts. If you are not completely satisfied, there is a  “Hassle-Free 100% MoneyBack Guarantee if you are not fully satisfied.” Cassani Fogless Mirror is definitely a “must-have” in the shower.

Eliminate Oily Skin with BIOELEMENTS Skincare

I am a big fan of Bioelements. They have skincare products that meet everyone’s needs and skin types. When I received my Bioelements, the products chosen were based on recommendations from the Bioelements website bioelements.com/what-is-my-skin-type. It is very easy to do, and after answering some basic skincare questions, I chose products that were recommended for my skin type. This feature takes the guess work out of deciding what products works best for your skin type. My daughters have a completely different skin type then I do and I suggested Bioelements because they have a few products I wanted them to try that are recommended for their skin type which is oily skin.

Bioelements

 

  • Both of my daughters had great results with Bioelements Beyond Hydration and Bioelements Restorative Clay. These two products are highly recommended for oily skin. Bioelements Beyond Hydration is a clear gel and acts as a moisturizer while reducing the oils on your skin. Beyond Hydration is designed specifically to prevent moisture loss and binds needed moisture to the surface of your skin. It leaves your skin refreshed and soft. Beyond Hydration can be used both day or night and has key ingredients like Pro Vitamin B5 for hydrating and Phospholipids for water binding. Other ingredients include Peppermint to refresh, Rosemary which energizes, Sage is the astringent and Thyme calms the skin. Beyond Hydration applies easily and your skin will feel dry which is a fabulous feeling.

Restorative Clay

The girls are also using Bioelements Restorative Clay. I actually used this myself and I can honestly say, my skin felt fantastic afterwards and I don’t have oily skin. My girls also agreed that our skin felt smooth and dry . Restorative Clay is formulated for combination Oily to very Oily skin and it only takes 10 minutes onceor twice  a week for healthy, dry and soft skin. Simply apply the clay to your entire neck and face and leave the clay on for ten minutes. According to Bioelements, the clay “Visibly improves the look of pores. Its natural clay base works like a vacuum to absorb excess oil and dirt, while plant extracts smooth skin’s texture and improve hydration. Skin looks fresh, healthy and bright.”  The Key ingredient in Restorative Clay is Kaolin which Absorbs Oil. My daughters had great results with Restorative Clay and they love how their skin feels.

Visit Bioelements bioelements.com, and learn what your skin type is and try some of their products. You won’t be disappointed.

With just a ten minute soak, Skin So Soft does the trick

unnamed

Just as it is named, “Skin So Soft Bath Oil” does what it says.  Just a 10 minute soak with less than a capful actually does the trick.  I took a little time to rub my heels, elbows & around my cuticles while in the tub because those areas seem to become the roughest through wear.  The scent is pleasant and soothing which tended to lull me into soaking longer than I should, so beware!  I noticed that my hands felt like I had just applied lotion and as the rest of my body absorbed the oil, my skin was left very soft.  One word of warning, take extra care in getting out of the tub.  If you move to your feet unaware, you may slip……just a word of caution.  I didn’t have any trouble but the thought did cross my mind that my entire body had now had an oil treatment, including the bottoms of my feet.

The fragrance lasted after the bath and so did the smooth silkiness of my skin.  It really made such a difference that throughout the day, I kept checking my skin.  It did not feel oily, but it did feel soft and smooth.  I swim at the gym pool so the chemicals probably rob my skin of some of its natural oils.  I really didn’t think about this until I felt the wonderful difference that this bath oil made.  This is a great product that I would recommend for anytime that your skin has that tired, dry, rough feeling.  Summer is on it’s way though so “Skin So Soft Bath Oil” just might be the remedy you need between those summer activities.  It made a huge difference in the feel of my skin, so give it a try; see what it does for you.  I plan on making it part of my overall skin care regiment.
Call your local Avon dealer today to order your “Skin So Soft Bath Oil”.  If you are lucky she might just have some on hand.  If you don’t know a representative, try shop.avon.com

Skin Lightening Trends and Techniques

 unnamed-60

There’s a new trend on the market, and it’s improving skin everywhere. It’s called skin lightening. Your skin tone is something that you haven’t been able to control – until now. We all have things that can alter our natural beauty: acne, scars, dark spots, blemishes. They are pesky and unfortunately happen to everyone.  But now there are products that not only clear away these impurities, but can also correct the damage it does to the pigment of your skin.

The Products

The most common product for skin lightening that can easily be purchased and applied is in the form of a cream.

Topical acne ointment can reduce redness and clear your acne sometimes even as soon as overnight.

Anti-aging cream– Even if you’re young, these kinds of creams can do nothing but good for your skin. They are a moisturizer based product that prevent signs of aging, which coincidentally happen to be the discoloration and poor texture of your skin – which is an issue that people of all ages can have. Not only does it prevent your pigment from changing, but it also can repair it and restore your natural glow.

At Home Treatment

Chemical Peel– Another common treatment for skin lightening.This technique is used to clear out dead skin and bring out your layer of smoother skin that hasn’t been affected by impurities. Since this form of treatment is dealing with chemicals, it is important to make sure you are using a safe product, and if you have any hesitations, it would be best to consult a dermatologist.

This is used for more severe cases where your marks are more serious. But, they can be more effective and quicker to make changes than a cream. It corrects skin pigment problems and removes superficial blemishes. By smoothing out your skin, you are beginning to repair it by stripping it of it’s deep problems.

unnamed-61

Don’t take no for an answer when it comes to your own beauty. There’s a product that’s right for you – it’s just about deciding what you are most comfortable with, and how soon you want to see results. You don’t have to go to a doctor or get some expensive procedure done to see the results you want. There is no reason to be unhappy with your skin when you can find a way to restore your natural beauty that works for you.

Skin lightening is a safe way to improve the appearance and feel of your skin, and can be done in the form of soap, cream, and other cleansing products. Find a product that is right for you and start taking care of your body. With the right product that fights against your imperfections, you can restore your natural beauty in a way that will transform to the skin you’ve always wanted.

Gwen Lewis is a writer from California. She has been in the makeup and beauty industry for quite some time and likes to write from experience. Beautiful skin can make you feel like a Queen so don’t be afraid to try new techniques or products, you will find the right one for you!

Funky, Trendy Haircolors Right At Your Fingertips

I love experimenting with color and as a hairstylist/makeup artist, color is number one on my list.  Growing up I always wanted to experiment with my hair and my makeup so I would sit at my vanity and go to town.  It wasn’t until recently I was introduced to an awesome book that I wish I had when I was a teen. It is called DIY Dye and I am amazed at the methods in the book.

diy dye book

DIY Dye is a step-by-step instruction manual for getting bright, funky temporary colors at home…the right way.  As a stylist i have seen many at home color jobs gone wrong (I strongly suggest that if you have any questions or if you feel the job is not coming out right please contact your local salon.) With everything from the use of Henna to spray on colors this book has it all. Even DIY color recipes. SOOO COOL!!!!

I am a huge I Love Lucy lover and we all know what Lucy Ricardo is known for right? That’s right her red hair.  Back in the 1950s henna was the go to hair color if you were wanting to create beautiful red tones to your hair.  But henna has improved since then. Now you can get henna in nice rich browns to.

DIY Dye is a fun way to experiment with crazy temporary colors with application techniques.  Writer Loren Lankford shares why she wrote DIY Dye with It’s A Glam Thing:

It’s a Glam Thing asked Loren, “What inspired you to write this fun and creative How-to Book?”

She explained  “Growing up as an alternative kid in a small, conservative town, I was always looking for crafting projects and ways I could my look at home, cheaply. I loved fun hair colors but knew that none of the local salons would be able to do what I wanted. So, I started experimenting with at-home methods! Back then, I didn’t have Google at my disposal, so I made do by asking lots of questions at the beauty supply store and a lot of trial and error. I may have fried my hair a little growing up, but I learned a lot and it was lots of fun.”

Check out DIY Dye and have fun. You can find it at amazon.com/DIY-Dye-Bright-Temporary-Coloring
