Your Skin’s Essentials

We know the winter can be harsh on our skin making it dry, scaly and dull. No worries, I have two products by Soleil Essentials Natural True Skincare that will have your skin radiant and glowing just in time for the warm weather.

soil

To start, the White Tea & Ginger Body Polish will exfoliate that dull, dry skin from the winter. This product is infused with Organic Shea Butter and Organic Coconut Oil, so you know the smell is heavenly. From the moment, you start rubbing this body polish on your skin, you will see how your skin shines and feels invigorated. Let the polish sit for about 5 minutes then rinse the scrub and dead skin off. You will see how the water beads up on your skin like you have an invisible layer of oil. Your skin looks hydrated and youthful immediately.

Don’t stop there because I promised that your skin would be radiant and glowing, so when you step out the shower reach for your towel and White Tea & Ginger Body Oil. Ladies, this product smells so good and feels so sleek that you feel as if you are in a high-end spa getting a special oil treatment. Apply the oil all over your damp body and pat dry. This is all you need to get smooth, radiant skin right from home. You and everyone around you will notice that your skin is dazzling and rejuvenated. Girl, get the tools you need to have smooth, hydrated glowing skin at https://www.soleilessentials.com and illuminate every room you walk into.

S-T-O-P and clear your mind

IMG_20150929_141115

When you were you a little kid, have you ever gotten lost in the store or park and your parents would find you all in a panic, crying, shaking and totally out of control? Do you remember the words they would say to you, as they wipe away the tears from your face? Well, mine would say, just stop. When you are lost just stop and be still you would be found. That advice still fits into our lives now. When we are lost, confused, stuck or even afraid in our life we should just STOP. Let me spell it out for you.

S – Stay. Just stay still. Sit for a moment, don’t use outside distractions to ignore your frustrations. They will not go away; they will seep back into your thoughts late at night when you are trying to sleep. Turn off all the distractions, as a matter of fact, lock yourself away. Well, find your quite spot. I personally turn off my phone, turn off my computer and just sit. I have a tablet and a pen next to me so that I can jot down any thoughts that pop into my head.

T – Think. While you are sitting quietly just think. Write down the things that pop into your mind. Don’t over think, it can be written any way you like it. Scribble, draw or doodle it doesn’t need to be in any type of order.

O – Observe. Take a look at what you have written, see if there is a pattern to your thoughts or see if they are just all over the place. Either way it’s fine!

P – Plan. Take those thoughts and string them together to come up with a plan. Focus on the thoughts that are constantly popping out at you on the page. Find a theme to your thoughts.

Tackle the noise inside of your head. When you are feeling lost, confused or afraid just S-T-O-P. You will find that once you have taken those steps you will feel more in control, confident and have a clearer picture of where you are and where you want to be. Wipe away those tears and take control of your destiny!

Illumination Creme, Beard Savers and more on Studio62

Hi everyone, today I join our friend Jamarcus, Studio62 with Jamarcus Gaston”  with great beauty and grooming products for him and her.

 

Beard Saver

Bluebeards Original Beard Saver

 

For Her: Gerard Cosmetics BB Plus Illumination Creme  is a versatile product that can be used in a variety of ways. The product’s golden undertone adds dimension and a youthful glow to any complexion. Wear it alone, use it as a cream highlighter, as a primer or mixed in with your favorite foundation or moisturizer. BB creams are famous for their anti-aging, hydrating and brightening properties and with the boost of illuminating particles from this creme, they (the illuminating particles) help to hide imperfections.

For Him Jack Black Dry Erase Ultra Calming Face Cream with Hydromanil™, Ginger Root, Vitamins C & E. This powerful, non-greasy cream provides immediate and lasting moisturization for dry skin, calms sensitive skin, and helps reduce redness and irritation.

 

The formulas traps essential moisture and aides in the repair and replenishment of the skin’s natural protective barrier. Fortified with skin comforters and anti-irritants, it calms irritated skin and helps reduce redness.

For him: BlueBeards Original Beard Saver alternative to beard oil.

Long before the beard boom, a husband and wife cooked up a solution to beard itch in their kitchen. These leave-in conditioners are truly a beard oil alternative, leaving your beard soft and healthy. They are non greasy and  take care of the sensitive skin underneath men’s facial hair. Perfect for keeping itch away in the scruffy stages, and just as adept at keeping fuller beards under control.

Naturally rich in vitamins and antioxidants A, E and F . They are available in scents like geranium, lemon verbena, grapefruit, vanilla and lavender plus unscented. (Men like them too!)

Protected Fun In The Sun

Obagi 1

When thinking of sun screen we rarely think luxury or high end. Once you try Obagi Medical, you will. I am always in search of something that I can use to hydrate my skin as well as help fight those fine lines, dark spots and rough skin that is popping up as I get older. I simple love Obagi 360 HydraFactor Moisturing Cream with Suncreen. It is so thick, creamy and glides on smooth leaving my face protected from the harmful rays of the beautiful sun, I love so much. One of the great thing about this product is you can wear it with or without makeup, which is a major plus for me. I don’t like to wear makeup when it is so hot that as soon as you step outside you are sweating bullets, but you can’t leave your face exposed to the sun so you definitely need to have some protection on your face. I also love the fact that I can use Obagi 360 HydraFactor Moisturing Cream with Suncreen as a daily moisturizer and it does not leave your face oily, it soaks into your skin leaving the right balance of that refreshed youthful glow. Click this link to get your Obagi 360 HydraFactor Moisturing Cream with Suncreen so your skin can be protected http://www.lovelyskin.com/o/obagi360-hydrafactor-spf-30?lsat=LSKIN20&ref=gbase&gclid=CJeVlJGvqcYCFVFefgodoaUMIw

obagi face

Don’t worry Obagi Medical have your body covered as well! When you use Broad Spectrum SPF 30 it recommend that you put it on at least 15 minutes before you go out in the sun and reapply every 2 hours for the best protection. It comes in a perfect carrying size that you can just drop in your purse and you don’t have to worry about that big bulky bottle taking up room or making a huge mess. This product feels so rich as it glides on your skin smoothly and leaves your whole body feeling soft, beautiful and protected. Click on the link to make sure your body is covered. http:/www.lovelyskin.com/o/obagi-professional-c-suncare-broad-spectrum-spf-30?lsat=LSKIN20&ref=gbase&gclid=CL7q8qqvqcYCFQGVfgodlaQE9A

Smell great with a simple touch

Its Mother’s Day eve and you need a last minute gift? Don’t worry the perfect gift is right at your local supermarket or drugstore. Caress’ new Fine Fragrance body wash will give mom a beautiful 12 hour fragrance every time she touches her skin. Yes that’s right. Just by touching your skin, Caress will activate the scent.

Caress

Caress

Last Monday while waiting to go on Studio 10, I was sitting in the green room and kept wondering where this smell was coming from. Forgetting I had used it this morning I kept thinking that my perfume was just overly strong. I then realized that it was the Caress. I couldn’t believe it. The more I crossed my arms or legs the stronger it was. Good thing about it was that it wasn’t so over powering that it was bad. It gives off just the right amount and lasts for 12 hours!

Imagine having an “implanted” fragrance in your skin for 12 hours that does not need to be redone. All you have to do is touch your skin and off it goes. The one I tried was the Amore Forever. It is a very light musky scent but has a hint of roses making it all the more pleasing. I know my mom loves it because she tried it and nearly stole it from me lol. I’m no meanie though I let her use it when she wants to.

So don’t sweat a great gift for mom. Caress has you covered. Its a gift that will keep on giving and I’m sure mom will love it. For more info check out www.houseofcaress.com
