“I Want My Skin To Look More Youthful!" PLUS! "How Can I Look More French!”

WOW! Two Questions In One! I love it!

Let's just dive right in!

Just a few (actually a lot) of my personal lifeisum's and TIPS for your questions!:

First, you are truly beautiful at any age so don't try to look 20 at 50+. (You know what I mean).

Work at being happy in your own skin. By working at this, you will always be able to make yourself look better and feel better...I really mean this. It's amazing what a little lipstick or walk around the block can do for your mental state of mind!

Have a daily routine! Get-up every morning (even if you are working from home),
brush your teeth, shower, wash your face and comb your hair.

Mom always said, take a shower or bath in the evening to wash off the day and shower or bath in the morning to wash off the night. Plus, you will be healthier and less sluggish during the day if you do. New day, new you!

Stretch, walk, yoga, or whatever you resonate with for movement and oxygen.

Pull your clothes together (pj's are not day clothing;)).

Eat some fresh, 'live' food and get on with your day!

Find YOUR own uniqueness and own it!

Stop 'over' looking around at other women wishing and hoping you had their amazing... (fill in the blank). This is hard on your mind and takes up a lot of negative head space. Yes, it does take a lot of mental work to not only be aware that we are doing this, but to also change the habit.

Turn off the Kardashian's, you said you wanted to be more French!

Don't follow someone else's standards. "That's like chasing a rabbit down a rabbit hole" or another way to say it is, "you will never catch that carrot!"

Healthy Inside and Out!:

1. Natural, fresh, botanical skin care products twice a day for healthy, youthful, less problematic skin. As my Irish grandmother would say, (insert Irish accent!) "Dr. Lucy is your man!".

Again, Dr. Lucy fresh, natural, French style skin care for more youthful skin. It will nourish, protect, calm, plump, revitalize and regenerate...everyday and night!

2. 1-2% natural Glycolic Acid mask once a week to remove dead skin cells (No drying peels).

3. Organic foods: Fruits, veggies, protein (fewer chemicals is a good thing).

3. Limit sugar and caffeine (I'm not talking about being a monk).

4. Lots of spring water (Love Crystal Geyser!).

5. Whole food supplements (If the bottle reads in ‘IU’s’ then it is not a whole food supplement).

6. Best kept beauty secret? 8+ hours of sleep a night and try to go to bed at the same time every night (body clock rhythms are very important).

7. Work on keeping your makeup more natural looking, same with your hair.

8. Classic Clothing (Check out some French sites).

9. Last but certainly not least, relax and go live your life!

Love and Blessings,
Rebecca

7 Tips and Tricks To Help Keep Your Skin Beautiful and Dewy Through The Cold Seasons!

Days are getting shorter and the chill is in the air! This also means your skin is probably getting a bit more dry, flakey and dehydrated.

1. Exfoliating with an enzyme peel (no drying peels) frequently during the colder, drier months is essential for healthy, plump, renewed skin! I use a natural enzyme peel at least twice a week…

Is applying fresh lemon juice straight to my skin harmful?

Yes it is! I know there are many different, natural home skin care recipes that include lemon juice, but to tell you the truth, lemon juice is way to acidic to apply directly to the skin. Lemon juice can not only disrupt the Ph mantle of your skin, but cause breakouts and wreak havoc on sensitive skin! The best way to add anything lemon to your skin care is through the skin and pith “white part” of the lemon. The lemon essential oil comes from the skin (rind), is loaded with vitamin C and is an antibacterial, etc. The pith is loaded with antioxidants, flavonoids, anti-inflammatories, etc.

Never put essential oils straight onto the skin. Always use some kind of carrier or carrier oil when using essential oils.

Why do French women look 3.4 years younger than women in the U.S.? Botanical Hyaluronic Acid is one reason!

"Think of your skin cells as a bunch of balloons and the space between the balloons is where the Hyaluronic Acid lives. You want to keep those spaces filled up for plump, buoyant, dense skin all year long!"

Here is why:
* "Hyaluronic Acid might not be the newest or flashiest ingredient out there, but it's tried and true and seriously good for your skin." Says Dr. Oz. First off, don't let the word "Acid" fool you. Botanical Hyaluronic Acid isn't harsh or skin-stripping at all. In fact it's the exact opposite-a powerful humectant (aka moisture binding ingredient) that keeps skin plump and hydrated and yes, young-looking.

Just an important FYI!

People ask me what goes into my ‘little silver’ suitcase when I fly to Paris! Here you go!...

Here it is for 10 days of travel in a nut shell! Last time was September so it can get a bit tricky because of the weather.

First and foremost make sure your suitcase has the correct dimensions for European travel, plus only 22lbs allowed. I know, that sounds crazy, but it will work! Plus I love carryon, just grab and go!

In my tote (which hooks onto my suitcase handle) I always have my small purse, passport, ID, some cash, debit and credit card, phone, earphones, small charger, 2 books, notepad, pens, supplements, water, Dr. Lucy skincare (I brought 2 kits for 10 days last time),makeup, mini blow dryer, mini cosmetic mirror, hair brush and clips, toothbrush, mini toothpaste, large scarf/wrap, lightweight sweater(planes are cold!) dried fruit and nuts.

In my suitcase (hard shell, carry-on), I swear by packing cubes. I promise they really work for condensing your clothes. Tops, shirts, pants, dresses, under garments, etc, each have their own cube!
I packed 2 summer shoes and a pair of ankle boots. 4 t-shirts, 2 shirts, jeans, black and white pants, 2 t-shirt dresses and one nice summer dress, a skirt, light weight blazer, bathing suit(for my stop over in Marina di Pisa to see friends), underclothes for everyday, a silk, short, lightweight robe. That’s about it!

Are serums really better at fighting skin aging that moisturizers?
Serums typically have a better ability to do a hydration and nutrient dense 'deep dive' into your skin layers more effectively than moisturizers. The reason why is because the molecules are smaller and are able to penetrate the skin on a deeper level, healing tissue, boosting collagen, evening out skin tone, and aiding in cellular renewal and regeneration! I'm telling you, serum can be your magical wand for youthful skin in the years to come!

Whoa!!!

One fresh, natural moisturizer that intuitively knows how to fit YOUR needs.

Have you tried this yet?!

83% Organic ingredients, the rest are natural!

Fresh,

Natural,

French style,

With Aloe - Did you know aloe naturally has botanical hyaluronic acid? It actually supports collagen and the collagen structure of your skin! Plus it has vitamins A-betacarotene, C, E, plus 20 minerals!,

Etc., etc., etc!

Sometimes one size does fit all!

When in doubt, start with the Dr. Lucy 7 piece Sample Kit!

A cleanser bottle was placed on my desk today...

A cleanser bottle was placed on my desk today and I stopped what I was doing to just stared at it reflecting on how this natural company started. It has been a long road with some ups and downs but always moving forward. I love that Dr. Lucy is fresh and natural with the best ingredients we could find. I love that we are clean and green. I love that all the products work in favor of your skin. I love the fact that you are actually feeding your skin with nutrient dense products. I love the fact that we are not worried about the “bottom of the jar” guarantee but the quality and safety of what is in the jar.
With love to you all. -Rebecca

Your Acid Mantle Ph Test!

Acid Test

Answer these questions to find out where you fall on the pH spectrum.

1. How does your skin feel after cleansing?

a) Soft and smooth

b) Tight and dry

c) Still slightly oily or not thoroughly clean

2. How often do you moisturize your face?

a) At least morning and evening

b) Once a day

c) Never

3. Has your skin become sensitive to products you regularly use, including makeup and creams?

a) No, it feels normal, like always.

b) Once in a while

c) Yes. It seems like it reacts to everything I put on it lately.

4. How often does your skin have dry, flaky, rough patches?

a) Never

b) Sometimes

c) Usually

5. Do you notice that your skin looks duller and has more lines in the morning?

a) No

b) Yes, usually

c) It's a very rare occurrence.

6. Is your skin excessively oily and prone to breakouts (whereas it wasn't in the past)?

a) No

b) Occasionally

c) Yes

7. Does your skin often look red and feel irritated?

a) No

b) It stings only after applying products.

c) Yes

8. Does your skin look plump, moist, and dewy?

b) Rarely

c) It's plump, but more greasy than dewy

If you answered mostly b's, your skin's pH is. . .
Too high. Your chronic dryness and wrinkling likely mean your acid mantle is being dismantled—you're too alkaline. With its protective lipids removed, your skin is falling prey to bacteria, UV rays, and harsh ingredients. Take a close look at how (and how often) you're cleansing, scrubbing, and hydrating. You need to make sure that your skin can ward off the damaging factors that are making it look older than it should.

If you answered mostly c's, your skin's pH is. . .
Too low. Your regular oiliness, breakouts, and sensitivity point to acid overload. Chances are, you're OD'ing on the peeling products (think acids) in an effort to sop up excess grease. And while this type of exfoliation can make for a healthy complexion, your skin is suffering from too much of a good thing. Your mission: Use products in moderation instead of abusing them (and your skin).

If you answered mostly a's, your skin's pH is. . .
Just right! Your skin (and its pH) live in a shiny, happy place not inhabited by premature aging and wrinkles. Having skin this good isn't an accident, so kudos to you for gold-star moisturizing and exfoliating, and using the right products. Stay on the same course and you'll continue to glow.

It’s cold here in McMinnville, Oregon already! Dehydration has started!

This means the dry air from outside and our heaters inside are blowing on our skin, taking the moisturizer and essential oils out and disturbing the protective layer. You know that look, lines, wrinkles, sagging, skin issues, not looking like yourself and the list goes on!

Here are a few “real” tips to help keep moisturizer in your skin and your Ph mantle intact!

1. Dr. Lucy’s Gentle Creme Cleanser (always use a creme cleanser) for hydrating,
protecting and cleansing deeply yet gently.

2. Balance and Refresh Toner to balance, hydrate, protect, calm and elevate your
other naturally powerful skin care products.

3. 2-in-1 Hydrating Serum is a must! This serum is made for around your eye area and
face. The smaller molecules help to drive the botanical hyaluronic acid and mega
nutrients deep into the skin layers for plump, bright, glowing skin.

4. Seal in all those nutrient dense products with our Ultra Moisturizer with botanical
hyaluronic acid, balanced natural carrier oils and antioxidants.

5. You will probably need to, “double seal” (most of use do this time of year) all those
protective products onto/into your skin with the Dr. Lucy Face Oil or the Rouge
Revitalizing Face Oil.

6. Don’t forget to use the Luscious Rose Equalizer Hydrating Masque a few times
week and always after you cleanse day or evening for an added deep nutrient
dense, hydration boost.

7. Remember, while you sleep your skin is renewing so better skin care at night (all the above steps) will give you better skin in the morning.

A pyramid of nutrient dense hydration!

What is the saying, "Perfection can not be rushed"? Well perfection is now here!

I have been sitting on my hands watching the clock slowly tick, tock away and I am telling you the new reformulation with the same potent ingredients of our beloved Luscious Rose Equalizer Hydrating Masque was well worth the wait!

Let me count the ways and benefits of the newly reformulated Luscious Rose Equalizer Hydrating Masque.

Hydration, hydration, hydration!

Aids in cell renewal and repair.

Calms, soothes and revitalizes skin and skin irritations.

Stimulates collagen production.

Naturally brightens the skin.

Boosts circulation.

Aids in eliminating impurities.

Nutrient dense to nourish the skin with 14 natural vitamins, 16 amino acids

and minerals and natural anti-oxidants.

The benefits list actually goes on and on!

Keep your skin balanced, plump, nourished, hydrated and renewed through all the coming seasonal changes with the aid of the NEW and IMPROVED Luscious Rose Equalizer Hydrating Masque!

"Why did you reformulate your hydrating mask?"

When we realized we could make this mask perfect. Actually it is absolutely thick, creamy, nutrient dense, perfection.

Trying is believing!

I am so grateful people are waking up and asking questions about what they are putting in and on their bodies, thank you!

Question:  “I heard I need to change out my skin care products every once in a while because my skin will get use to them and they will stop working for me, is this true?”

• 1st Answer: “No, you do not need to change out your products if they are fresh and natural. The skin craves fresh, natural, organic, nutrient dense ingredients like in the Dr. Lucy products to help keep it plump, strong, protected, and glowing. Healthy, fresh, natural and organic products generate healthy cell turnover for youthful skin.”

.

• 2nd Answer: “Yes, you will need to change out your synthetic, chemical products (this includes makeup) because your skin is now in “hyper-overdrive”. No matter what you are told, chemical products will leave you looking older with thinner skin as time passes which is the opposite of what you are wanting. Plus they have hormone disruptors among other things that can compromise your health”.

.

• “Going back to the original question you can think of it this way. Do you need to change out your nutrient dense natural, organic food and fresh spring water for chemical laden food?The answer is no, your body needs fresh, live foods to survive, be strong, regenerate and be youthful everyday”.

Merci! 💋

What does aging and the change of seasons have in common?

Healthy, youthful skin has naturally occurring lipids in abundance. As we age and when the seasons change our skin’s barrier becomes compromised. That is when lipid production declines and in turn can bring on rough texture, uncomfortable tightness, dullness and loss of facial fullness. I actually fight hard against this look and feel. 

How do I personally combat lipid loss?

With the Dr. Lucy face oils and products. Obviously this is obvious to you. It’s like I have always said, I have taken the time with true natural chemists formulating products that are natural and organic, potent, formulated correctly and really good for the health of you and your skin. Plus as an added bonus you truly will feel a little more French and who doesn’t want that!
