Summer glow skincare tips

In the changing season our skincare routine needs to change up just a little as well. Getting to experiment and try out new things is what I am all about and I want to share some of my favorite skin care products for the summer. I find these may be best for oily to combination skin.

Beautiful summer glows start with cleansed skin. I am currently using Mary Kay’s Time Wise cleanser. In the summer, having oily skin, the oil glands can tend to feel like they are producing more oil. Time Wise is lightweight, creamy cleanser that helps to really slow down the oil production.

Moisturize!! Especially here in the summer months. If oily skin can get oilier then sometimes dry skin can get even dryer. No matter which skin type you have, moisturizer is what really balances out the over all look and feel of your skin. I currently use two moisturizers, and one facial oil, each one serves a different purpose. Seba Med is one I like to use to help slow down my oil and clear my skin of acne. The other is my Mad Hippie Face Cream. This one is my anti aging go to moisturizer. I use my Seba Med first let it dry then put my Mad Hippie on.

After we moisturize we cant forget to show the peepers some love. Goldfaden MD’s eye cream has been my eye opener. I use my ring finger and apply on the eye socket rather than directly under the eye.

Skincare is very important but beautiful skin starts on the inside. Healthy eating, and drinking plenty of water is the number one factor to beautiful glowing skin. Below I have compiled all these in a video which I have posted below. “I hope you enjoy and for some healthy eating check out ALOHA for some at home healthy recipes” Be sure to bookmark these!

Invisiblur Perfecting Shield is silk in a bottle

 shopping
I am a big fan of Dr. Murad’s line of anti-aging skincare. It is a brand that I always have good luck with and often, a brand that I tell my family and friends to try when they have certain skin problems. I was very impressed with  Murad’s Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum which really worked for my husband. Several of our bloggers tried Murad’s  Resurgance line and loved it and you will always find a Murad Suncare product in our basket of sunscreens by the pool.
The Father of Internal Skincare – Dr. Murad’s Bio
Murad Skincare was developed by Dr. Howard Murad. You will find his website extremely helpful and informative. Dr. Murad also offers his  tips on living beautifully, including skin care, diet and more. Get advice directly from Dr. Murad at murad.com/blog/category/dr-murad.

I have been using Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield for 3 weeks now and I love it. Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield was formulated to “replace your, primer and SPF to immediately blur and correct while combating signs of aging.” I am quite fortunate that I do not have many skin problems but signs of aging, well, that’s another story.  I have been using Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield mainly as moisturizer/primer and sun screen. I love how my skin feels right after I apply it. It covers up minor skin imperfections and leaves my skin feeling smooth as silk. I am using it day and night and notice a difference in the texture of my skin skin. I love the silkiness,the product itself feels like silk, never greasy, it just dry and silky.

Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield is a lightweight formula designed as an anti-aging, corrective treatment, primer and SPF moisturizer. Formulated with mushroom peptides, this helps to “diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles by helping aid natural regulation of collagen and elastin, while a soft-focus complex smooths and blurs imperfections for improved tone and texture.” Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield contains barley oil and is a naturally gluten-free substance.

 

Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield is suitable for all skin tones. It features SPF 30 with invisible sunscreen technology. It is scientifically proven, dermatologist developed, and tested on people, never on animals.

Murad’s Research results:
In a Murad sponsored study:
– 71% saw fewer lines and wrinkles
– 94% saw improved smoothness and texture
– 100% invisible SPF 30 protection
 Other important ingredients:
-Mushroom Peptides: Fight visible signs of aging to help restore youthful-looking firmness, elasticity, and skin resilience.
-Soft-focus Complex: Smooths skin and blurs imperfections for improved tone and texture to create an ideal canvas for makeup application.
-Barley, Sunflower, and Cucumber Extracts: Enhance skin’s ability to retain moisture.

A message from the Pros from Carmex about Cold Sores

DOES A COLD SORE MAKE YOU  WANT TO RUN FOR COVER?

The Carmex® “Let’s Get Closer” Survey Reveals How People Really Feel 

If you are one of more than half of Americans between the ages of 21-54, who say they have ever had a cold sore, you may also share the attitudes and behaviors of people who know how these unattractive and unwelcome cold sores may make you feel.

Carma Laboratories, the company that has been manufacturing Carmex® lip balm for over 78 years, recently introduced Carmex® Cold Sore Treatment, a product that works on contact to block pain and itch while minimizing the appearance of a cold sore1. Cold sores can be inconvenient, embarrassing and always seem to happen at the most inopportune time. In order to better understand the social challenges cold sores create, Carma Laboratories recently completed a Harris Poll of over 1,100 adults age 21-54.

So, just how do Americans feel about cold sores? According to the Carmex “Let’s Get Closer” survey*, almost half of adults ages 21-54 would be very to somewhat likely to cancel a date if they woke up with a cold sore. This feeling was more prevalent among women and men between the ages of 21-44. A geographic breakdown shows this to be more of a reality among people from the South (56%) or Midwest (49%).

More than 1 in 4 Americans said they would be very to somewhat likely to postpone a job interview. Interestingly, men were more likely to say that they would be somewhat likely to take a day off from work because of a cold sore.

Twenty nine (29%) percent acknowledge that they would wonder if the cold sore was contagious and (26%) percent would wonder if it was herpes. Close to 2 in 5 said they would be very to somewhat likely to cut short a date if their date showed up with a cold sore.

It would seem obvious that no one really wants to kiss someone if they have a cold sore, yet surprisingly, men might still consider it! Sixty seven (67%) of women said they would be very unlikely to do this, while (57%) say they would be unlikely.

If you do have an occasional or frequent cold sore, do you ever wonder what people are thinking when they see you? Gratifyingly, (68%) of those ages 21-34 and (67%) of those ages 35-44 think “That must be painful.” Forty nine percent (49%) of ages 45-54 share this reaction. On the other hand, caution prevails.  Thirty one percent (31%) between 21-44 wonder if it’s contagious versus (22%) of ages 45-54. Herpes is on people’s minds too when they see a cold sore with (29%) of 21-34 year olds and (28%) of 35-44 year olds wondering if the cold sore might be herpes. Interestingly, men (13%) are more likely than women (7%) to think that the person with a cold sore isn’t clean.

Only NEW Carmex® Cold Sore Treatment works on contact to block pain and itch while minimizing the appearance of a cold sore. 10% Benzocaine blocks pain and itch, while the TriPLEX™ Formula technology smoothes and fills to make the cold sore less noticeable. And, it works on contact – so you see and feel results fast. While no product can cure a cold sore, this breakthrough product may help sufferers feel more comfortable and confident while managing through a cold sore outbreak.

About Carmex® and Carma Laboratories, Inc.:

For more than 78 years, Franklin, Wisconsin-based Carma Laboratories, Inc., has manufactured Carmex® brand lip balms. Carma Laboratories, Inc. is a family owned and operated business that was founded in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, the inventor of Carmex® lip balm. Today, the company continues to produce its original lip care formula in its trademark jars, and has expanded the line to include flavored lip balms, ultra hydrating lip care formulas and soothing skin care products. The carefully crafted lip balm has been #1 pharmacist-recommended for 16 years in a row.2 For more information, visit www.mycarmex.com or www.carmexcoldsore.com

2 Pharmacy Times: Survey of Pharmacists’ OTC Recommendations (1999-2014)

*Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the United States from January 13-15, 2015 among 1,100 adults ages 21-54, by Harris Poll. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Poll panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
