The Best All Natural Moisturizers

HI Ladies,                                                     

We thought we would share a  testimony of one of our customers. It always fun to hear what others are saying about the products and also introduce a new amazing moisturizer we are carrying.  This stuff rocks! Here are the ingredients:

All Amazing: All Pure: All Natural:

Aloe Vera 30% smoothes and softens skin.  Helps to lock in moisture,
reduce age spots and aid in cell regeneration.  Has little beneficial
effect however, unless added in significant amounts.  For this reason,
aloe vera ranks first in volume among our ingredients.

Emu oil: (18%) Other products made with emu oil actually carry just
1-10% of this amazing ingredient.  It's very similar to human skin oil
and hypoallergenic.  Emu oil carries the other nutrients deep into the
skin where they're most useful.  Rich in vitamins A, E and essential
fatty acids.

Matrixyl 3000:  (10%) Powerful combination of two peptides.  Stimulates
collagen and provides significant reduction in wrinkle depth and volume.

Dermaxyl: (10%) Bio-active lipid agent (ceramide 2) which increases the
water holding capacity of skin .  Keeps skin moist and plump.

Shea butter:  Evens out skin tone and improves elasticity.  Good source
of vitamins A, E and F.

Green tea extract:  Has 20 times the anti-oxidant effect of vitamin E
and well-documented benefits of sun protection.

Jojoba oil:  Helps to balance skin's natural oil production and prevent
breakouts.  Contains copper, zinc and complex vitamins. 

Virgin coconut oil:  Helps to repair skin damage and strengthen tissue.

Castor oil:  Reduces age spots, contains ricinoleic acid which inhibits
many viruses and bacteria (great for acne).  Increases circulation.

A Wonderful, moisturizing product. You will love this stuff.

I am sold on a moisturizer that delivers moisture to the face 

that doesn't feel dry and tight an hour after you apply it 

even in the driest of cold Minnesota winters. Also,natural

 products that have ingredients that are derived from plants,

 herbs etc...not man-made I re-order simply because of the

 fact that I haven't found anything else out there that 

compares to that level of moisturizing I've 

found in these products

Everyone Can Wear Red (Lipstick)

Tricks to Looking Younger

Curling eyelashes makes you look younger, causes your eyes to pop, and look more alert.

We just finished a photo shoot and most everyone needed their eyelashes curled. The difference was amazing. Just the simple act of curling your lashes will draw your eyelashes
upward. They will appear longer and your eyes will look more open. These two effects result in a younger looking you! As we age, our features begin to lose that freshness; eyes tend
to droop a bit more and lashes are less then luscious. Using the right makeup to your advantage, and knowing the right tools to use can help fool the eye and cheat some years off
your face. In just a few seconds your eyes can go from dull to lively with just the squeeze of a lash curler.

Technique

Always curl lashes before primer and mascara are applied; otherwise you take a risk of breaking off your eyelashes.

For maximum effect you want to get as close to the base as possible without pinching your skin.Clasp down lightly at first to make sure you are where you need to be with the curler. Then firmly hold for a full five seconds. Your goal is to create a beautiful curve, not an L shape kink, so you will need to experiment with the lash curler to achieve optimum results. Be sure to release the eyelashes fully before pulling it away from your eye.

It’s important to clean the curler every so often so bacteria is not collecting on it day after day and going into your eye. Just a cotton swab with a bit of witch hazel will do the trick, or a quick rinse in soapy water. Make sure to leave it out to dry in an open position so you don’t get it rusted.

Make it a Beautiful Day,

Keeping Your Mineral Foundation looking Dewy not Matte

Foundations that are matte liquid, or mineral-based, can erase your youthful glow and that beautiful dewy look.

If you are using any foundation that has too much matte, it will accentuate facial dryness. As we age we tend to lose hydration, which leads to dullness of skin tone, and causes our face to look dry, tight and more wrinkled. In order to appear more youthful it is essential to make sure that the face looks hydrated, glowing and plump. As always, proper skincare is vital for younger looking skin. Oils can help create that perfect canvas for your foundation.

Mineral Powder Foundations can look beautiful and glowing on the face. As I stated above, you must start with proper skincare, and you must exfoliate so your canvas is in perfect shape to begin your mineral application. In all honesty, I have tried numerous mineral foundations and the only one that has worked well is the one we carry. I’m sure there are other great ones out there, but I just haven’t come across them yet.

Also, if you desire that youthful dewy look, applying a facial mister is a must! If your skin looks dry after you apply your minerals foundation, spritz a little of our Herbal Tonique or Vit C Ester onto your face and it will radiate beauty. The facial mister causes your minerals to look dewy and not matte, which is what you should aim for to have that youthful glow.

Liquid Minerals are another beautiful foundation if you desire that youthful glow. Personally I love the tinted mineral moisturizer as it goes on easily.

It is important to avoid being overzealous with the minerals in those danger zones which we have, such as the outer corners of eye area, tops of the cheekbones, the upper lip line, and the smile lines next to the mouth.

How to Apply Concealer

HI Ladies,

All Natural Mineral Concealer

For those looking for the perfect concealer to cover those annoying problem areas, such as the dark circles under the eye, keep reading for a great tip!

Using the proper color of concealer and having the right placement is vital to achieving the right look, and hopefully do away with those dark spots. Women with caucasian coloring need a concealer that is no more than one shade lighter than the rest of their face. It should also have a hue of either salmon, melon, and/or pink to counteract the dark circles, which most of us have on those oh so tired days.

Interestingly, most ladies get the placement of concealer totally wrong. More times than not, concealer is not needed on the outer third of the eye. When concealer is applied there it will only enhance the crow’s feet which most of us do not want highlighted! Only apply concealer wherever there is darkness.

Here is the best rule of thumb. Think of the shape of a comma. Apply from the inner corner of the eye and extend the concealer to where you can feel your ocular bone. If you follow this tip, you will have the perfect look!

How to Apply Eye Makeup For Mature Women

As most of you know, the first thing to show age is the delicate eye area. One of the little tricks of the trade is to switch the color of your eye liner. Since most of us grew up wearing the typical black, it has been hard to make the switch, but this alone will make you look years younger.

Personally I love the look of the dark brown in our Olive Eye Trio. It is perfect for every eye color. I can attest to that since I’ve used this on a number of my clients. Anyone with blue, green, hazel, or brown eye color. It looks great. You could also use grey if you would like too.

Hope this little tidbit helps.

A New Supplement for Beautiful Skin

HI Ladies,

I thought you would enjoy this little scientific find for beautiful skin.

An interesting article by Dr. Mercola on improving your skin, your health and your over all well being.

When it comes to free radical scavenging, astaxanthin can be as much as…

65 times more powerful than vitamin C*
54 times stronger than beta-carotene*
14 times more potent than vitamin E*

Plus, astaxanthin has been shown to be more effective than other carotenoids and other nutrients at ‘singlet oxygen quenching’ by being up to…

550 times more powerful than vitamin E*
800 times stronger than CoQ10*
6000 times greater than vitamin C*
550 times more powerful than green tea catechins*
11 times stronger than beta-carotene*

The above comparisons have been made against some incredible nutrients in their own right. Yet, astaxanthin blows them away when it comes down to effective free radical scavenging and singlet oxygen quenching.*

And here’s even more on how astaxanthin is potentially so effective…

Able to cross the blood-brain barrier and the blood-retinal barrier (beta-carotene and some others don’t do this)…*
Protects your eyes, brain, and nervous system from oxidative stress*
Potentially reduces DNA damage caused by free radicals*

Any questions why I’m simply amazed at the healthful power of this super-antioxidant?* To date, I’ve never seen anything like it.

So, all you have to do is run out to your local health store or vitamin shop to pick up this extraordinary nutrient.

I’ve already reviewed above some of the potential pitfalls with some of the sources of astaxanthin.

Here’s a simple list of factors that I recommend you consider when finding a natural supplement formula…

Make sure the astaxanthin formula is created from natural marine microalgae and not some form of fungus, or some other less effective form.
Due to the fact astaxanthin is best absorbed when taken with a ‘fatty’ meal (lipid soluble), look for a formula that contains some sort of natural oil or fatty acid that will help maximize your absorption. Without this additional ingredient, your absorption could be less than optimal.
Don’t just settle for what’s necessarily on the label of the bottle. Dig deeper into finding out more info on how the manufacturer guarantees stability and efficacy of the formula.
In addition, make sure the manufacturer can provide solid evidence they don’t use chemical solvents or preservatives in their formulation processes.
Due to new research, most recommendations for daily dosages of natural astaxanthin can now range from 4-8mg. So, look for at least a 4mg minimum serving size so you won’t have to take as many capsules
