vNumber #1 in that winter 2010-2011 is Smokey eyes in so many different versions, could be bi-color version, but make sure you keep the severe tone using darker shades of brown, golden and taupe. Also pair black and gray, golden brown, or gray and blue.
vYou are allowed to use lighter eye shadow on the entire top eyelid, even going up towards the brown. Try to keep your makeup as simple as possible, than use mascara or eyeliner.
vWhen it comes to eyebrows this session keep them as natural as possible, when it comes to the shape or color. Good choice will be eyebrow pencil with a creamy texture in order to add a slightly healthy glowing.
vLips are so red and hot this winter. You can be more sexy and elegant touch to your overall look.
vMakeup foundation colors tend to remain same from season-to-season. But still, each person brings about a new texture to explore. Heavy winters often inspire a matte, powder look that is absolute opposite of sheer looks of summer.
My favorite will be Bare Minerals foundation kits that match skin tones and easy to use.
The Bare Mineral "Magic" Make up offers a very much finer texture that other mineral powder,
which gives the foundation a smooth, matte finish. What impressed me that most is that make up stays on until you take it off.
Why I choose this Bare Mineral Foundation Makeup?
First of all because pure minerals, with only four or five natural ingredients like: Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxids, Zinx Oxids. This product are without any: talc, fragrance, oil, and preservatives, which are good alternative for those who have sensitive skin.
Some products state that they prevent and reverse the signs of aging, other claim to firm, smooth, and lift the skin, and there are plenty that guarantee they stimulate collagen and diminish wrinkles. Anti aging products do fill our heads with promises. There are thousands to pick, but are pocket and are budget have a limit to spend. How can you choose between them, and which ingredients actually might work? So let’s solve that problem with some four rules to remember:
The best way to prevent anti aging and number #1 is sunscreen
Sun protection is the best antiaging product you have and the best investment you can make. Ninety percent of cosmetic skin problems that occur with age( wrinkles. Sagging, hyperpigmentation) are caused by sun exposure, according to the Journal of the AmericanAcademy of Dermatology. There is waste of money and no point in buying all kinds of antiaging products to repair damage, if you don’t use sunscreen every day. Most cosmeceutical ingredients try to mimic substances found in the body, such as antioxidants, peptides, growth factors, coenzymes, vitamins.
So protecting what we already have naturally and maintaining optimal skin health with daily sun protection and moisturizer is worth a thousand anti aging beauty solution.
Try to read product labels very closely.
In the label must list ingredients from the highest concentration to the lowest, so if the anti aging element you’re looking for is near the bottom, there’s not enough in the product to do anything. (But remember keep in mind; a high concentration of the chemical is one way to get it into the skin). Most of the ingredients on the label- are the water, moisturizer, binders, and preservatives that make up the vehicle. Often and antiaging product includes silicone to provide a smooth texture to the product and make the complexion look smoother too. It may also contain a little glycolic acid or lactic acid to exfoliate the skin and provide instant gratification. But make sure that the ANTIOXIDANT or PEPTIDE you’re buying is very near the top of the ingredients list.
When you choose your anti aging ingredients wisely.
Better hope or pretend that all these cosmeceuticals works. With so many new ingredients promising to fix so many problems, how should you decide among them?
Is a prescription RETINOID safe, or should you try an over-the-counter version first?
But first is step back ladies look at your skin and consider what product you already own: a moisturizer? A chemical exfoliate or a scrub? Next check to see if your moisturizer already contains an antioxidant or one of the ingredients I’ll discuss soon.
You may have been using an antiaging product for some time without even knowing it.
Then ask yourself what you are trying to achieve with a cosmeceutical. Are you in your twenties and looking for a preventive product? An antioxidant is a good bet. Do you want to fight wrinkles? Then something with RETINOIC ACID will work. If brown spots and uneven skin tone are your problem, you can use retinoic acid or try a product with NIACINAMIDE. Narrow down what it is about your complexion you want to improve, and that will help narrow down your options.
Taking care of your skin is like caring for a garden, which needs a certain amount of water, nutrients, soil, and sunshine to grow and be healthy. But if you overfeed or over water it, the garden is destroyed, in the same way, putting too much of a good thing on your skin is not necessarily better or more effective. The worst thing is people complaining they have some red, irritated skin and show me twenty different brands products that they use on it. How do all these ingredients react with one another? Are they overlapping the same kinds of chemicals, such as acids, over and over again?
Try to pick one or two active ingredients- an antioxidant and retinoid for instance and stick with them for at least THREE MONTS. Switching from one ingredient to another within a span of a couple of weeks for example: a niacin amide product, then a kojic acid, then an azeleic acid to get rid of brown spots.
4.Research products, and learn the difference between miracle and marketing.
Remember you have to do your homework on ingredients, and think logically about their claims. For instance, exciting ingredients claims to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and increase the storage of moisture in the dermis.
This chemical has a cool, scientific name and sounds like an amazing discovery, yet it’s simply a plant-derived form of a sugar molecules like the GAGs. Again, the manufacturer’s tests are proprietary, and most products containing the ingredients also include hyaluronic acid, superior humectants. So it’s hard to say which one is responsible for any water retention results in the skin. A little sleuthing online can tell you what a hot new ingredient actually is and if the clinical studies behind it are for real.
Most of these ingredients aren’t really under the jurisdiction of a dermatologist. Traditional medical training has nothing to do with a popular antioxidant like CoffeBerry, or and ingredient like rare, Japanese whether these things provide substantial results or not.My expertise and research so far tree things have been proven to work as anti-aging:
SUNSCREEN, MOISTURIZER, AND RETINOIC ACID.
I hope my writing will help you to find the right products, but if you have more question always you can write to me, and I will try to answer the fast is I can. So have a good shopping.
Dry skin is often due to the natural aging of the body. As a person advances in years, the body’s processes slow down and cells are not replaced as rapidly as they were when the person was younger. It is not difficult to diagnose aging skin, but skin ages at different rates due to the following factors:
The skin ages due to neglect and the external treatment it has received.
Exposure to too much sun, wind, salt water, or polluted air will hasten the aging process.
Physiological disease, ill health, and psychological (emotional) problems can cause the skin to appear older.
Extreme weight loss can result in loss of muscle tone and lined and sagging skin, which in turn gives the skin an aged appearance.
Medications, lack of proper diet, and the misuse of alcoholic beverages and smoking may affect the appearance of the skin.
The mature skin can be improved but the natural aging process cannot be reversed, not the skin restored to the same vital condition of youth. I always advise my client’s that treatments can bake the skin look and feel better, but there are no miracle treatments that restore aging skin. Cosmetic (plastic) surgery or skin refining, along with proper salon treatments (and the enhancement of make-up) may help to achieve the desired results.
The Elasticity of the skin
Aging skin will often lack elasticity. Also I tested skin elasticity by taking a small section of the facial skin or neck between the thumb and forefinger and giving the skin a slight outward pull. When the skin is released, and if the elasticity is good, the skin will immediately return to its normal shape. If the skin is slow to resume its normal shape, it is lacking elasticity.
Aging or sun-damaged skin needs antioxidants topically and orally. Antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, A minerals, green tea, and grape seed extract are all antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals. I mentioned on my blog about Antioxidants, so if you want to read more look at my blog. Other beneficial care for aging skin includes protecting the barrier function of the skin and wearing sunscreen. Additionally, alphahydroxy acids can help reverse the signs of sun damage. Hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA, and glycerin all bind water to the skin and I also love and believe RETINOL cosmetics can help you improve your elasticity.
My treatments goals are to hydrate and soften the skin. Stimulating the metabolism and firming the skin are also part of an anti-aging facial. Paraffin mask and massage with a deep penetrating serum and cream are both beneficial in a facial treatment for mature skin. A thermal mask can be used instead of a paraffin to force-feed nutrients into the skin. Firming products can also be effective in visibly tightening the skin.
Facial treatments are wonderful rejuvenator for clients with mature, aging, or sun-damage skin.
It’s never to late to start your first Facial treatment, you will feel fresh, younger, relaxed, what else do you need?
I always want to share with you my personal experience and my favorite products for your skin. You don’t need to spend so much money at a spa to get soft skin. All you need is a few inexpensive items that you can get from your local Target, or Walmart store, to do your own skin beauty treatment at home.
Here are few tips to help you have smooth and soft skin and you will feel like a Queen.
Step 1 Watch the temperature
Too hot water can drastically dry out your skin. Take a warm shower and use a mild, unscented, moisturizing body cleanser, such an Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash ($6.99) or Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash ($7.99). Yes, we love hot showers, too… but seriously ladies it’d be better for your skin to get used to warm water.
Step 2 Exfoliate
You slough off some dead skin cells with your usual cleanser and a sponge or loofah, but if ashy skin is a big problem, try an exfoliating products such as Soft-soap Body Butter Coconut Scrub ($3.50), Amazon Forest Mango Body Scrub ($9.99). If you have sensitive skin, choose one that contains soft, synthetic beads instead (look for polyethylene beads in the ingredient list). Try to keep scrub-downs to no more than twice a week, more often can irritate your skin. When you are not exfoliating, use only moisturizing soap to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated.
Step 3 Moisturize.
Try to drink plenty of water. Also try water with a lemon, could be different taste, but extra vitamin C for you body. Healthy hydrated skin start from the inside out.
Drink 6 or 8 glasses of water each day for dewy fresh skin.
Also every time you wash your hands, or even wash the dishes, be sure to use lotion to keep your hands moisturized to prevent drying( my favorite is Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream-$6.99) There is few more products you can like: Cetaphil ($13.99), Shea Butter( $7.99), Eucerin Calming Cream ($8.29)
This time of year you have to give extra care for you feet, by applying heavy peppermint foot cream before bedtime, and then cover them with cotton socks. You will wake with the softest feet you’ve had in a long time. You can also try on your hands.
I hope you will like my advices and if you have your own ideas you can always share with me if you want. Happy fall and winter days for everybody.
I mansion early about Microdermabrasion treatment. That treatment is one of the popular and effective for all kinds of type skin. Microdermabrasion is a form of mechanical exfoliation, originated in Europe. Some of the first machine entered in U.S. market around 1995. Machine is so powerful electronic vacum. Microdermabrasion can be used to diminish sun damage, pigmentation, open and closed comedones, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and coarse texture skin. Right now is the perfect time to perform that treatment, because in the fall you don't have a side effect from the sun.
Don't wait ladies it's never to late to start feel younger and look younger. Also I recommend few treatment for the best effect.
My another passion is makeup, so I always want to write about it, how to perform the right make up for the eyes.
The eyes are very important when it comes to makeup. The proper application of eye colors and shadow can create the illusion of the eyes being larger of smaller, and will enhance the overall attractiveness of the face.
Round eyes can be lengthened be extending the shadow beyond the outer corner of the eyes.
Close-set eyes are closer together than the length of one eye. For eyes that are too close together, lightly apply darker shadow on the outer edge of the eyes and light on the inside near the nose.
Protruding eyes can be minimized be blending a dark shadow carefully over the prominent part of the eyelid, carrying it lightly toward the eyebrows. Use a medium to deep shadow color.
For heavy-lidded eyes, shadow evenly and lightly across the lid from the edge of the eyelash line to the small crease in the eye socket.
To make small eyes appear larger, extend the shadow slightly above and beyond the eyes.
To correct wide-set eyes, apply the shadow on the inner side of the eyelid toward the nose, and blend carefully.
For deep-set eyes, use a bright, light, reflective colors. Use the lightest color in the crease, and a light to medium color sparingly on the lid and brow bone.
Everybody have different eye shapes, and it’s not easy to correct them. I have few professional techniques which helps me to perform the correct the eye shapes.
HIDDEN LIDS
-create a crease in the middle of the upper lid,
-highlight the brow bone,
-softly line upper and lower lashes,
-avoid strong colors,
SMALL EYES
-place a darker shadow over the lid, blending it out to the temple and up the eyebrow,
-apply shadow to the outer corners of the lower lids,
-blend eyeliner softly from the center to the outer corners of both eyes along the eyelashes,
-apply mascara, brushing the lashes carefully,
ROUND EYES
-apply a medium shade shadow, blending it over the eyelid toward the eyebrow,
-apply dark shadow onto the crease and blend it toward the eyebrow,
-clearly line the inside of the eye with an eyeliner pencil,
-extend and carefully blend the colors in steps 1 and 3 toward the outer corner of the eye,
-apply mascara to the lashes only at the outer corners of the eyes,
PROTRUDING EYES
-apply a medium color on the entire eyelid and blend it toward the eyebrow,
-line the inside of the eye using a brown or gray eyeliner pencil,
DEEP-SET EYES
-apply a light eye shadow along the crease of the lid,
-blend in a medium color on the outer corners and to the temples,
-use a soft color to accentuate around the eyes,
-clearly outline the eyes along the lashes,
-choose a dark shade of mascara,
CLOSE-SET EYES
-apply a paller shade to the lid and a darker shade to the corner,
-line the eye from the middle to the corner and blend the shadow outward,
-apply mascara in an upward and outward motion,
WIDE-SET EYES
-Extend a darker shadow from the inner corner of the eye toward the nose,
-Blend a lighter shadow from the middle toward the outer corner,

Halo everybody today I will be writing about my one of the favorite magazine, which is American Spa Magazine.
American Spa Magazine is full of ideas, and inspirations for everybody, an especially for Beauty Industry. They write about how drinking white vine and applying grape seed oil is beneficial to the skin. Grape seeds contain polyphenols radicals known for damaging the skin and increasing the signs of aging. Also there is so many studies show that grapes are rich nutrition and contain vitamin C. Grape seed oil I am using with any facial treatment, performing face massage. That oil contains minerals and vitamins it is ideal for all skin types.
My favorite article was how to learn a popular website that leverage the power of collective buying can help your spa or any business attract new clients. There are also some ideas about Social Media Secrets.
Right know there are so many great, professional products on the market, so it’s hard to pick which cosmetic is right for me. In that magazine you can find that product for your particular type of skin.
Than another my favorite article was about recent study of Botox. According to the study, facial expressions have a direct affect on patient’s emotions.
So, no matter what look we are trying to achieve, looking NATURAL should always be the healthy and the best choice for all of us.
Antioxidant in certain foods-green tea, olive oil, blueberries, salmon or sunflower seeds-act like SUPERHERO nutrients in the body. They extinguish toxin oxygen molecule known as FREE RADICAL, the bad by products of cell renewal that are also produced by pollution and sun damage.
Why antioxidant is are important to your skin?
Because they are supposed to provide the best protection against UVA rays and age-accelerating FREE RADICAL. But commonly held believes that eating Antioxidant rich food will keep you looking young, scientifically proven smoothes your wrinkles, or reduced a risk for skin cancer. Getting nutrition’s to the surface of your skin is just important as taking the right nutrition’s internally.
What is Free Radical?
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that target and ultimately damage your tissue, and cells. They are often causes by environmental factors such as UV rays, smoke, chemical and biological pollution, alcohol, and stress. The consequences also include damage to your skin’s DNA, an aged appearance, wrinkles sagging skin, a dull or rough complexion, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Here are a few Antioxidants in food that benefits to your skin:
-Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) Important sources include citrus fruits, like oranges, lime, green peppers, broccoli, green leafy vegetable, strawberries, raw cabbage and tomatoes,
-Vitamin A- Involved in forming new skin cells, also helps keep skin supple and is vital for healthy EYES and HAIR. You can find vitamin A in: whole milk and butter, liver, oily fish and eggs. It can also be manufactured by the body from beta carotene.
-Vitamin E- Important sources included vegetable oil, nuts and seeds, peanut butter, wholegrain, avocado, sunflower, soybean. Also derived from salmon, mackerel, halibut and trout.
-Selenium- This ingredients works best with a Vitamin E to support the immune system, so can help fight infection. The best source is: cereals, meat, seafood, cheese, mushrooms,
-Green Tea- A compound harmed polyphenols, found in the green tea is regarded as one of the best antioxidants, and also reduced RISK for SKIN CANCER.
-Coenzyme Q10- This is one of natural antioxidants in the skin that helps the cells grow and protect them from the ravages of Cancer,
Best combination of vitamins is vitamin C and vitamin E and Selenium. These antioxidants work by speeding up the skin’s natural repair system and by directly inhibiting further damage says: Karen E. Burke, MD PhD of the dermatology school of Medicine department of dermatology.
A study published in The Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that vitamin C and E supplements taken for three months significantly reduced sunburned and sun damage.
In addition to food, consider using antioxidants creams and serums. So look for Organic products with ingredients like vitamin A,B,C and E, the enzyme Q10 and Peptides.
But very important when you buy serums, look for those ingredients on the beginning on the label with the ingredients. If the body is being treated with antioxidants from both the inside and the outside, it will certainly begin to reap the benefits.
From my resource I discovered professional and Organic products in Marshall Store, with a good price and right quality.
Since clogged pores are a key factor in the development of ACNE lesions, removing dead skin cells and unclogging the pores is an important approach to treatment. This can be achieved using alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acids, or microdermabrasion.
ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS
Alpha hydroxyl acids(AHAs) are naturally occurring organic acids such as glycolic acid. They are topically applied agents that increase the rate of cell turnover, decrease the stickiness of cells, and exfoliate the skin. As a result, the compacted layer of dead skin cells is made thinner and smoother, and the opening of the pore is less likely to be clogged. These actions can be beneficial in treating and preventing some types of acne( blackhead, whitehead, and mildly inflammatory acne). Dermatologist offer in-office AHA peels in concentrations ranging from 20 to 70 percent. Glycolic acid is the most common type of peel. Home peeling products have recently become available from major cosmetic companies.
BETA HYDROXY ACIDS
Beta hydroxyl acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid can produce similar benefits. AHAs and BHAs also have been shown to have REJUVENATING effects on the skin. They stimulate production of collage performed in a medical of salon setting. The main difference between alpha hydroxyl acids and beta hydroxyl acids is their ability to dissolve in oil. Alpha hydroxyl acids dissolve in water only, while beta hydroxyl acids can dissolve on oil or water. This difference suggests that theoretically, beta hydroxyl acids are better able to penetrate the oil-rich hair follicle to promote exfoliation.
Both AHA and BHA peels can be helpful for blackhead/whitehead acne and small red bump acne. The peels are useful to treat the acne lesions themselves and can also hasten the resolution of post acne pigment problems.
MICRODERMABRASION
Similar acne and ant aging benefits can be achieved from microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion is a procedure during which a suction tip gently hits the skin while fine sterile particles are used to polish and exfoliate the superficial layer of the skin. The combination of suction and gently exfoliation easily removes dead skin and debris. Blackheads often disappear as they are removed from the impacted follicle.
Benefits of that treatment:
-Improvement of acne, or acne scars,
-Smoother skin texture,
-Improve hyper pigmentation,
Microdermabrasion is a very different procedure than traditional dermabrasion. Traditional dermabrasion is a very aggressive process that abrades off the top layer of the skin and a portion of the middle layer of the skin.
That treatment I recommend in the fall time, because is more safe and effective.
1. Establish a skin care routine.
2. A good skin routine will help you to retain moisture and elasticity.
3. Wear sunscreen.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are harmful to the skin. Too much sun increase the wrinkles process. Also wear a hat.
4. Avoid tanning salons.
Don't assume the tanning salon is safer then exposure to direct sunlight. You are still being exposed
to UV rays, and at a higher concentration that direct sunlight.
5. Stop smoking.
Toxins in smoking agents cause skin damage. Researched shows that smokers wrinkles at the young age.
6. Avoid weight fluctuations.
Weight fluctuations causes your skin to stretch and contract. Skin loses elasticity as you age and can bounce back, after each fluctuation.
7. Drink water.
Keep you body hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will help flush out toxins.
8. Eat right
Good nutritious affect the skin and can have a positive affect on preventing wrinkles.
9. Wear sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses will help you squint less. Squinting creates folds around the eye that can
become permanent.
10. Relax you face muscles.
Grimacing, furrowing the brows, jaw clenching all contribute to facial wrinkles.
11. Get a facial massage.
A facial massage will help to keep elasticity in the skin and keep wrinkles and fine lines at a bay.
A facial massage will stimulate blood flow and circulation in the facial area. Increased blood flow stimulates the skin and helps to keep it renewed and rejuvenated.
Tips to reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
a) Use the Anti-aging cream or lotion
Wrinkles creams increase the volume of tissue cells and smoothes out the wrinkles or line.
But wrinkles creams cannot eliminate deep wrinkles.
b) Get a Chemical or Mechanical Peel.
A chemical peel is technique designed to remove the dead skin cells from the skin surface layer and re-stimulate the regenerative process.
Can Botox prevent Wrinkles?
Botox cannot prevent wrinkles. Botox injections will temporally reduce the appearance or wrinkles.
Ingredients in a skin care product work in the same way as ingredients in a food recipe. For example, in baking, butter richens up a cookie recipe (believe it or not, avocado could even be used as a healthier fat substitute) in the same way that shea butter or fatty acids enrich a face cream. All the various ingredients, whether in a cake or in a cleanser, must combine to create a harmonious whole.
Most ingredients not only benefit the skin in some way but also perform on or more big jobs that keep the product’s delivery system intact.
What ingredients do?
-They moisturize, using humectants and emollient,
-They bind, holding other ingredients together,
-They emulsify, blending oil and water substances together in a smooth formula,
-They thicken or smooth, making a formula richer or able to glide on more easily,
-They preserve, preventing the product from deteriorating, and harboring bacteria,
-They adjust the pH balance, acting as a butter to stabilize acids and bases,
We have different kinds of skin type, so every type of skin should avoid different ingredients for that type of skin.
Oily Acne-prone skin type should avoid ingredients like:
So, if you look for some interesting and good quality company from the counter I like personally NEUTROGENA, some AVENNO products, CETAPHIL that product my dermatologist prescribe, also ALBA. Everything you can buy in TARGET or any different store. Good look with the shopping I hope you will find right product for you type of skin. Also check on my blog I mentioned early for TYPE OF SKIN.

Cleansers come in many forms and should be used TWICE a Day.
a)Face wash- is a foaming cleanser with a slightly acidic pH.
Clients with oily or combination skin like foamy cleanser. Recommend these washes with caution because they can over dry the skin. This often leads to an over-production of oil in the skin and can exacerbate acne.
Cleansing LOTION- is a water based emulsion for normal and combination skin.
Cleansing lotions can be applied with damp cotton pads or the hands and can be removed with a damp soft cloth, cotton, or sponges.
b)Cleansing CREAM- is an oil-based emulsion used primarily to dissolve makeup and dirt. Cleansing cream is heavier than cleansing lotions. Cleansing cream should be followed by a toner or another cleanser that is strong enough to remove any residue.
CLEANSER BENEFITS:
-Cleanser dissolves makeup and dirt to UNBLOCK PORES and prepares the skin for other products.
-Milky cleanser soften dry skin,
-Cleansers contain ingredients to counteract various skin problems.
-Additional ingredients can help certain skin conditions such as sensitivity, dehydration, or capillary problems,
2)TONERS
Toners, fresheners, and astringents are all essentially the same type of product. These are liquids that are used after cleansing, just before moisturizer is applied.
a)Freshener- often has the lowest alcohol content (0 to 4 percent) and is beneficial for DRY and MATURE skin as well as for SENSITIVE skin.
b)Toners usually have alcohol content (4 to 15 percent) and are designed for use on NORMAL and COMBINATION skin. They tone, or tighten the skin.
c)Astringents may have an alcohol content of up to 35 % and are used for OILY and ACNE-PRONE skin. They help remove excess oil on the skin, but some are too drying and can cause more harm than good.
TONER BENEFIF:
-They remove residue left behind by cleansers,
-Some restore the skin’s natural pH after cleansing,
-They have a temporary tightening effect on both the skin and pores openings, helping to temporarily tighten these follicles.
-Some can help certain skin conditions, depending on the ingredients,
3)EXFOLIANTS
The term of exfoliation refers to the peeling or sloughing of the skin layer. Many types of peeling and exfoliation treatments are available, ranging from brushing treatments and light enzyme peels and plastic surgeons.
EXFOLIATION BENEFITS:
-It makes the skin smoother,
-It facilitates the extraction of matter that clogs pores,
-A faster cell turnover rate brings cells to the surface,
-It improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture,
-It helps products penetration and more effective delivery of ingredients into the skin,
-The skin is smoother and not as rough, which makes the application of makeup easier,
4)MASKS
A good mask can do wonders for the skin, and like most beauty treatments, the benefits have been known for thousands of years, Mask ingredients include herbs, vitamins, and oils, which can be combined in clay, seaweed, or hydrating bases.
Masks tighten and tone the skin, also draw impurities out of the pores and clear up blemishes. Masks such as cucumber, or aloe, stay moist and are more hydrating.
