SOME “SECRET” TIPS FOR YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN!

AM Routine

  1. Cleanse. I use a Vitamin C Cleanser because that vitamin C and Citric Acid help with age spots, discoloration and dull skin (something that happens as we age.
  2.  Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I use one that I can spray on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
  3. Serum. Serums can do a variety of things: refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. Personally I rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
  4. Moisturize. Don’t take this step for granted. Again, I rotate these but my favorite has prebiotics and probiotics to help to help fight free radicals that cause damage.
  5. Eye serum. The area around our eyes is very delicate. One of my favorite eye serums has Bakuchiol as one of the ingredients. Bakuchiol has been scientifically researched to significantly improve collagen production.
  6. Sunscreen. Sunscreen should be a SEPARATE STEP from skincare and kept out of your moisturizers and foundations. When manufacturers add sunscreen to those products, they have to remove certain ingredients that we NEED because these ingredients, when combined, cancel each other out.
  1. Cleanse. A foaming cleanser is a great product to use at night because the emollients will help to cut through the extra oil and makeup from the day!
  2. Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I recommend using one that can be sprayed on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
  3. Serum. As stated before, serums can do refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. It’s often a good idea to rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
  4. Moisturize. I can’t say enough about moisturizing your skin! It is fundamental. I recommend using a heavier moisturizer at night since the skin is at rest and can benefit from the extra attention.
  5. Eye cream. Since the skin around the eyes is probably the thinnest skin on the body. It’s often a good idea to use an eye serum followed by a heavier eye cream at night. 

A quick comparison

The Heat is on!

How safe and effective is your sunscreen?
Did you know that not all sunscreens are created equal?

Here’s why I only buy from the the Wellness Store:
It’s Made and Manufactured right here in the USA.

Why is a 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 good for you?
Mineral sunscreens don’t contain:
• harsh synthetic chemicals
• aren’t absorbed into your skin
• they’re safer for sensitive skin.

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with sensitive or acne-prone skin opt for mineral sunscreens.

So, if you’re looking for a sunscreen that is all-natural and/or reef-safe, mineral is the way to go. I know mine is safe, is yours?

You Don’t Know Until You Know…

then you do better!

Twenty years ago I ditched toxic cleaners and household products. I had no idea how harmful they were until my toddler nephew came close to getting into the cabinet under the sink—you know, the one where you keep all of your cleaning products.

Even with safety latches in place and near constant supervision he came close to being seriously harmed or possibly worse.

Every day reputable studies are telling us how dangerous the ingredients in our cleaners and personal products are. What are you waiting for? I don’t care what company or products you switch to, I just want you to switch!

Check out this study that was forwarded to me today by a friend. Click Here

Spring into Summer Cleaning

What a perfect time to make the switch and go green. Why? The proof is there. Studies by the EPA, CDC, NIH and especially the Lung Study. Here are some findings from that study:

  • Weekly use of national brand home cleaners are as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years
  • Women are affected more than men
  • Cleaning at home is just as harmful as being an occupational cleaner, if not more so
  • Liquid cleaners are just as dangerous as sprays
  • Dangerous chemicals, including ammonia, bleach and quaternary disinfectant compounds appear to be primary culprits
  • Women who regularly use cleaning products have increased rates of asthma
  • Damage is cumulative over time

Unfortunately, some products are marketed as green when they really aren’t. And then products that you touch everyday, like your Dawn dish soap have FORMALDEHYDE in them. What touches your skin is absorbed by the skin!

This is one of the easiest steps to creating a healthy home! Let me help you!

It’s like Magic!

This is one of my favorite cleaning products.

Made to tackle the greasiest, grimiest messes indoors and out, this heavy-duty cleaner provides industrial-strength cleaning power to battle the toughest grease messes on your stovetop and in your oven without caustic ammonia, chlorine bleach, or other toxic chemicals.

I also use it to wash our cars. They always look pristine.
