USE PROTECTION! (No, no - the other kind!)

What are you using on your face for sunscreen?  Most of the women I talk to say "nothing", but they are" thinking " about it or it's in their make-up. The problem is, there isn't enough in their make-up!  Take it from my ladies in Florida and try my ADVANCED PROTECTION SPF 30   which is used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons for their patients.  The Florida ladies love it because, as one of them emphatically said, "Nothing gets through that sucker!" ( I probably would have said, "It provides light moisturization, and normalizes dry parched skin while providing superior protection.")   Now is the time - try it!


My first customer for this product was a mother buying it for her 13 year old daughter who had had skin cancer removed from her arm two times!  

Sunscreens with broad spectrum protection (against UVA and UVB rays) and with sun protection factor (SPF) values of 30 are recommended.  My product , which was designed for the dermatologic market,  has you covered with the Advanced Protection SPF 30 .  (Many of my customers use it as a make-up base.) Light enough for oily skin. No fragrance. A microfine transparent zinc oxide is used that blocks both UVA and UVB radiation. Designed for face and body.  Excellent for sensitive skin. Recommended for anyone using alpha hydroxy acids or retinol products on their faces,  which makes you more sensitive to the sun!

  When using an SPF 30 sunscreen and applying it thickly on your body, you get the equivalent of 1 minute of UVB rays for each 30 minutes you spend in the sun. So, 1 hour in the sun wearing SPF 30 sunscreen is the same as spending 2 minutes totally

NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: MATRIX OIL

Here is a new product that will benefit  those of you that live in a very dry climate,  spend your working days outside, or for some other reason have skin that feels very parched like one of my customers who just got back from a military stay in Afghanistan. This is a treatment to bring your hydration levels back to normal.Oil is the latest product in the line up of skin care products.


New Product Introduction
Matrix Oil
with Retinol, Vitamin E and Argan Oil

This bottle of magic contains light oils that will leave your skin soft and supple without feeling greasy.
 
For an extra boost in hydration use this oil in conjunction with your recommended serum, moisturizer and/or special treatment.  Use serum first before applying this light facial oil, then apply your moisturizer or sunscreen as last step.
 
This light facial oil treatment will also benefit oily skin as it regulates oil production by controlling  “unwanted” oil and dry patches. 

    

 Directions for VERY dry skin: If you have extremely dry skin, use this oil with your moisturizer at night. In the morning add a drop or two before applying your daytime moisturizer or sunscreen. For extra hydration apply the Aloe @ Azulene Gel Masque or Soft Papaya @ Pumpkin Masque once a week.   

Directions for oily skin:  This light facial oil offers all of the benefits of regulating oil production. Apply to cleansed skin before moisturizer to control "unwanted" oil and dry patches.

MAY - we love it!

Spring is here and it's a great time to try something new.  If you haven't picked out a basic cleansing set for your type skin, why not now?

 Plus, let's all smell good this spring.  How about this description: "The fragrance opens with notes of mandarin, orange pomelo, tangerine and lime, and then slowly eases into White Tea Blossom, fresh melon, rose petals and night blooming jasmine."  Wow, I can almost smell it!
That would be our Citrus and White Tea Blossom Lotion and Body Polish.  Everyone loves it.  The nice thing is by the time you get to work or to where ever they don't allow you to wear fragrances, it will have mellowed to the point that it won't bother anyone.  Put some on before bed and you'll relax quickly.
