Relief for troubled skin

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This morning, I was watching the news and saw a commercial for Dupixent for eczema and sin rash. Most of the people in the commercial were kids, aged 12 or younger. I understand when your kids are suffering, you ache for them to feel better — often medication like Dupixent is prescribed.

For myself, I found an alternative doe my eczema with a few simple changes to products tI use everyday with no new hit to my budget.

These two products — Melapower Detergent and Renew Lotio — from the online Wellness shopping club where I shop monthly have made a difference for me and I no longer use Dupixent. My eczema has been alleviated with this laundry detergent and this skin lotion. Neither contains formaldehyde, parabens, chlorine bleach or other chemicals..I do think it’s important to get chemicals out of your home. What we breathe and what we apply to our skin is important. I’ve personally seen the difference.

Bringing my skin back to normalcy

Having suffered from eczema on and off over the years, I’ve been to allergists, dermatologists and immune specialists countless times. I’ve been on steroids, steroidal creams, various topicals meds and eleven cortisone shots! Then of course there were always the medical co-pays for both the visit and the medical “solution” that didn’t always work. At best most provided temporary relief.

Today, it’s so much simpler, I use this natural shampoo regularly and especially when eczema breaks out on my scalp. It keeps my skin under control.

For the rest of my body, I use this lotion or cream every day. It has really helped improve my skin over the years. It’s been a godsend (and a lot less expensive too!)

Being Frugal

Who else here is frugal?

I sure am! I cut open bottles to get every last drop.

This lotion took me a year to use up because I bought two—one for upstairs and one for downstairs. It’s great for eczema and rosacea, but I just love that it keeps my hands soft even after washing, and it kills germs with just one application.

SOME “SECRET” TIPS FOR YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I’ve been in the Wellness Industry for almost 20 years, but before that, I was in the Beauty Industry for 16 years. Believe it or not, the two industries are incredibly related! When you take the steps to living a healthy life every day, the results show on your skin.

Many women have the goal to look as young as they can for as long as they can, and while I always maintain that feeling and looking younger starts from the inside, we still need to take care of our skin on the outside. So many people want quick, easy answers to looking younger. Unfortunately, there is no “secret” or simple trick. But here are some simple steps to follow that can help you have 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.

PM Routine
Your PM routine is CRITICAL because that’s when your skin repairs itself. First, do NOT sleep in your makeup!.

  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. 

Consistency is key in all things, and skin care is no different. But shop carefully. Department store brands charge so much more because of expensive packaging, advertising and endorsements. Those add-ons do not make your products work any better!

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?

Using a safer budget-friendly sunscreen

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Most people seem to think that sun-screen is only for the warmer, summer months. You know at the beach, playing ball and the rest. But the sun still shines in winter and, if you participate in outdoor snowy sports, the glare from the sun is so much greater than one would think. Plus, many people head to warmer climes to escape the snow and they need to take care of skin
protection as well. There’s never a time you shouldn’t be concerned about sun damage.
Painful sunburns can happen anywhere and at anytime.

So for on-the-go UVA/UVB protection, I grab Sun Shades Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen. Sun Shades Sport features dermatologist-recommended avobenzone and an exclusive natural blend of vitamins and antioxidants. This sunscreen helps protect skin against signs of premature aging and environmental damage for 80 water-resistant minutes and sprays on evenly for protection without feeling sticky or tacky on your skin.

Water-resistant, it protects against harmful UVA and UVB sun rays with quick and complete spray-on coverage.

  • SPF 50
  • Sprays onto the skin in a complete, uniform layer 
  • Feels natural and clean on your skin 

Using a safer alternative that is budget-friendly is what matters most to me

Do you need a Collagen boost?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

After losing a lot of weight I felt like my skin was all “wrinkly and saggy”. Well, it probably was being stretched out so much from all those years of
carrying excess poundage!

Then, I tried this new collagen recommended to me and found in my online shopping club. With its 90 days money back guarantee, I figured what could I lose? It worked. I personally feel tremendous difference in my skin and joints.

Read on to see a great testimonial from a professional and see what the hype is all about with his amazing wellness online shopping club:

Love, love our collagen!
Hello everyone! I’m a PT by profession. I have tried five or more different collagen brands in the past three years, from the cheapest to the most expensive one in the market. I was using the most expensive one when i injured my right knee. I’ve had issues on my right knee for years. I cant run, indian sit, etc. I twisted my knee six weeks prior to launch of Vitality Collagen Boost. My knee was getting better but not well. It still swells if I am on my feet more than two hours. Two days after taking this collagen, swelling was minimal at the end of the day (not two hours). My pain went down from five out of ten to two out of ten. After one week of taking daily collagen, my knee was back to normal. Two weeks after tha,t I injured my left knee the same way as I had injured my right knee. It took three days and it was well. Needless to say, I just opened my third bootle. I was able to run last week for ten minutes! I canals run up and down stairs now. Amazing product! I added Mela-Out two or three times per week and take Replenex daily. My conclusion, this is the best collagen in the market. Adding to that, the benefits i have seen on my skin, hair and nails, compared to that expensive collagen i was using for almost one year.

Her results are outstanding and other uses are sharing similar results.
I know my wrinkly, baggy skin is doing much better and soon will look “normal” again. If you have aging skin issues, I encourage you to try it for yourself. I’ll bet you fall in love with this collagen too!
