So For "Une Belle Peau!", Beautiful Skin!!!

“Prevention is the Key to Beautiful Skin”                        
 Following a good home care routine is very important to the French. They know that how they care for their skin today paves the road for the future health of their skin. They religiously care for their skin at home and practice good skin care habits, washing their face every morning and evening using gentle botanically based/filled cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers and face oils.

Prevention is the Key:

French women in general take their skin care regimen seriously from an early age. This gives them a huge upper hand when it comes to aging and theyare serious about every step in their skin care routine from milky luxurious cleansers instead of soap and gels and toners for balancing the PH of their skin so the products penetrate and work optimally, serums to get nutrients into the deeper layers with their smaller molecules and moisturizers and face oils to deposit moisture, hydrate and heal the skin, not to mention masques and scrubs to remove the old dead cells, tighten pores and reveal the new plump young cells. So instead of waiting for aging to begin and then fighting it with potentially irritating and dangerous ingredients that put your skin into overdrive in a damaging way, they employ a routine that slows and softens the effects of aging long before they begin. Just remember it is never ever too late to start your preventive, skin changing routine. Now is the perfect time to begin!

So for “Une Belle Peau”, Beautiful Skin:

.For the French, part of preventive skin care is eating whole foods. Your skin is an organ – you’re largest in fact – and everything you eat and drink affects it. Fresh organic vegetables and unprocessed foods help your skin stay clear and healthy. So for “Une Belle Peau”, beautiful skin, stick to whole foods, lots of vegetables and plenty of water for happy, glowing skin!

The Shock of Aging Happens to All of Us!

The Shock of Aging Happens to All of Us!

We begin our search for a magical fountain of youth. There is nothing wrong with our genuine attempts to put our best foot forward and improve our aging process. The sad part comes when fortune hunters and the marketers present false or misleading claims and we are too gullible.

 Dr. Lucy Products are loaded with Jojoba Oil and Here Are Some of the Reasons We Love This Little Seed… Oh Let Me Count the Ways!!!

*What is so amazing is the similarity in molecular structure between jojoba oil and sebum.

*Jojoba oil is also naturally rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E, all of which are incredibly nourishing for the skin. Vitamin A is known to be an excellent wrinkle fighter while Vitamin E is used to minimize scaring in the skin.

 *Jojoba Oil actually dissolves the sebum that clogs your pores, which helps give you relief from acne and allows your skin to breathe more effectively.

 *The oil is wonderful for people who suffer from sensitive skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. It helps soften your skin and when applied to your hair will increase its shine.

*It is also known to help reduce wrinkles and other lines associated with aging. In addition, it helps promote the growth of new skin cells. It even has some anti-bacterial qualities too.

*Since Jojoba Oil is so similar to sebum, when applied to the skin it can help to reduce sebum production.

*Sebum is produced to waterproof and moisturize the skin. WhenJojoba Oil is applied, the skin registers that sufficient oil is present therefore less sebum (your own skin oil) is released making skin less oily!

*In addition Jojoba Oil is both antibacterial and anti-fungal. Therefore, by reducing sebum production and prohibiting bacteria growth, Jojoba Oil can really assist in the reduction of pimples and acne!

Jojoba Oil: Is this oil really the secret to smooth, hydrated skin?

Extracted from the seed of the jojoba tree (which is native to states in the Southwestern U.S.), jojoba oil is actually not oil at all but rather a waxy substance that is very similar to human skin oil, also known as sebum. Because it's so similar to our skin's natural oil, it is thought that jojoba oil can "trick" the skin into thinking it's producing enough oil, which helps balance oil production [Source: Acne.org]. "Jojoba oil is rich in natural fats that mimic those in the outer layer of the skin," explains Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. "This means it can help the skin retain moisture and heal itself."

MYTHS and TRUTHS About What WE Are Putting On Our Face!!!

“WOW!”, “Dis-Done!”

MYTHS and TRUTHS About What WE Are Putting On Our Face!!!

Myths and Truths About Skin Care Products…

Myth: Expensive skincare is better than inexpensive.

Spending less doesn't always hurt your skin, and spending more doesn't always help it. Again, it's all about the formulation, concentration and potency of ingredients and getting the products as close to organic as possible.

 Myth: It's good when your products cool or tingle skin.

Fact: This sensation is your skin telling you it is being irritated, not helped.

Counter-irritants are used to induce local inflammation in an effort to reduce inflammation in deeper or adjacent tissues. In other words, they substitute one kind of inflammation for another, which is never good for skin. Irritation or inflammation, no matter what causes it or how it happens, impairs the skin's immune and healing response. And although your skin may not show it or doesn't react in an irritated fashion, if you apply irritants to your skin the damage is still taking place and is ongoing, so it adds up over time (Experimental Dermatology, 2009 and Dermato-Endocrinology, 2011).

 Myth: Use the products you like, regardless of what they contain.

Fact: Lots of people have problems with their skin because they often like what isn't good for skin.

That means jar packaging will not keep these ingredients stable, and so you would be short-changing your skin soon after the product is opened (think about how long a head of lettuce lasts in your refrigerator). What it takes to help your skin be at its best and to function normally and really fight wrinkles or acne or any other skin problem is far more complex than just using what you "like." This doesn't mean that you shouldn't like what you use, but do take the time to select from among products that are truly healthy and beneficial for skin. That is, take the time to read the ingredient list, because you can't determine the benefits intuitively.

“View Your Beauty Routine like the French”
 French women value having beautiful skin and put a big emphasis on using the best skin care products. It is rather obvious due to how many facial salons there are, not only in the big city of Paris, but also the small villages around the country. They practically have as many skin care salons as we in the United States have nail salons. Monthly facials are a regular part of a woman’s life in France. In the U.S. we are so busy with our lives that we do not take the time to relax and care for ourselves with a nice pampering facial. Balancing our life and caring for your skin with natural and organic top of the line skin care products is a must to keep your skin youthful and glowing.

“ DR. LUCY FACE OIL REALLY IS A POWERFUL MIRACLE LIQUID!!!”                                                               

                                                                      Virginia G.

Face Oil is not the hot new thing and has been around for centuries but in the last few years it has become more mainstream than ever before and here are a few good reasons why!

 *Our skin secretes its own oil as a natural defense, but you can think of face oil as your skin’s personal bodyguard.

 *Plant-based oils mimic the natural oils that your skin secretes. As an added bonus, face oils are also free of irritating additives and fragrances. For this reason, they are free to calm and rejuvenate as they hydrate.

*In addition to treating acne-prone skin, face oils also reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles because they plump skin cells and make them look fuller.

*Face oils can also help with the absorption of other products you apply after them, like your serum.

 *In your late 30s, wrinkles suddenly look deeper because the skin's natural oils decrease, the moisture barrier breaks down, and the skin dries out. Most creams contain a little oil, but not enough to make a big difference in water loss. Because oils are lipophilic, or fat loving, they pass though the lipid layer of the skin faster, preventing water loss and plumping skin with moisture more effectively.

 To apply the face oil, put a few drops onto your hand and rub the product around, then gently pat it and push it gently into your skin–don’t rub it!

"Your Skin Needs Moisture To Stay Healthy, Oui!!!"

The Sad Truth is that a lot of people do not understand just how important it is to use High Quality Moisturizing Products.

 Just to name a few reasons:

*They help with anti-aging.

*Fighting the already apparent signs of aging.

*Protecting against Free radicals.

*Protecting against environmental damage.

*Helps draw moisture to your skin.

*Helps create a good foundation for makeup application.

 So Keep Your Skin Beautiful, Dewy and Healthy By Saying a Big “YES” to a High Quality Natural Moisturizer! Oui!

         Why Hyaluronic Acid Is Seriously Good For You!

Hyaluronic acid may not be the newest or flashiest ingredient out there, but it’s tried and true and seriously good for your skin. First off, don’t let the word “acid” fool you. 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 as talked about on Dr. Oz’s.

 Know how a baby’s skin always looks so deliciously dewy and pillowy? It’s because babies are born with a high level of hyaluronic acid, which keeps their skin plump and smooth. Hyaluronic acid helps increases hydration, improves elasticity and also reverses free radical damage and every skin type can benefit besides, hyaluronic acid molecules' unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times their weight in water. One thousand! That means plump, beautiful, hydrated skin!

"Serums Give Life To Skin!" "Serums Visage Donnet Vie De Peau!"

What is a Serum and Do I Need One???

A Thousand Times Yes!

 It's a beauty misconception that serums are just a more expensive form of skin moisturizer. Yes, the price is more per ounce than your average skin care product, but that's because you're getting more concentrated ingredients (and deeper-penetrating effects).

Why use it? A serum is your go-to product to improve the overall look and texture of your complexion. The active ingredient can bring antioxidants to the skin, restore cell growth, or help decrease pore size. Plus serums contain the most potent dose of anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants, peptides and skin brighteners!

How does it work? Moisturizers have a base that allows them to stay on the surface to moisturize the outer portion of the skin, but a serum has smaller molecules to penetrate deeper into the skin layers  that allows the active ingredient to actually penetrate into the epidermis.

How do you apply it? Use about a pea-sized amount of serum for the face and neck, applying the product about two minutes after your cleanser (not on wet skin). Hydrated cells allow the active ingredient to penetrate better than dried cells.

Why Use Dr. Lucy Serum?

Serum: Hydrating 2 in 1 (face and under eye)

 83% Organic

 This is designed for dry, normal, oil, combination, aging and chaotic skin types. It soothes and calms skin while feeding the skin with aloe, rooibos, DMAE, antioxidants, MSM and Hyaluronic Acid giving it super hydration and glowing skin plus the smaller molecules mean deeper skin layer penetration.

"Face Toner Please!" "Visage de Toner S'il Vous Plait!"

And Why Am I Supposed To Use a Toner?

A facial toner is considered one of the three Holy Grail steps in your skincare routine those being, cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

 Your skin care routine starts with a cleanser which is followed by a toner, serum, moisturizer and or face oil. People tend to forget to tone their skin and for some reason Americans are marketed to that they don’t need a toner, they feel it is not necessary and actually think it is a silly step because of the marketing but in reality it is beyond an essential step in your skin care routine if you truly want glowing, balanced skin!

 Let’s Take a Look at WHY This Silly Little Step is Sooo Important…

 *Toning helps improve the look and texture of your skin thus the word “tone.”

*Increases your skin’s development of Hydrolipidic Film ( Acid Mantle), providing a protective  barrier that will help your skin retain moisture and maintain the capillary walls.

*It can help you replace the vial moisture needed and bind it to the skin.

*It tightens pores which helps limit the risk of allergens, bacteria, or impurities from agitating them.

*It helps remove flaky dead skin and the last traces of dirt and makeup.

*It helps your skin maintain the proper PH ( Potential Hydrogen)which is around 5.5 to 6 so your skin can remain healthy!

*It helps prepare the skin so that your serum, moisturizer and face oil penetrate deeper to help heal, calm, plump, hydrate, even skin tone and brighten just to name a few!

"Beautiful Skin= Happier You!!!"

Pure Natural Essential Oils and Carrier Oils=Gorgeous, Calm, Glowing Skin!

"Un Visage Heureux!", "A Happy Face!"

We have found that skin – like ours – that has been treated with essential oils and natural ingredients becomes stronger and more dynamic. The texture of our faces goes through fundamental changes that are sometimes so dramatic that it appears as if the person has had a face lift. This phenomenon never ceases to amaze me and I am, again and again, reminded of how comprehensive the benefits of the essential oils and natural ingredients. When positive treatment of pure natural oils are designed and applied to the face, results can be nothing short of miraculous!

Expense in the skin preparation world doesn’t guarantee the success of the product for us. We know that the most exclusive products contain essential oils along with other natural ingredients. One of the difficulties that arise for the marketers of such products is that dreaded term-“a long shelf life.” Many different chemicals are used in commercial cosmetics. Some of them, such as retinols and steroids can cause serious problems. When they also include water-from unknown sources that may be highly polluted plus animal products that come from things we don’t want to think about. We do know that these products send our already aging skin into “overdrive”, this wreaks havoc on our hormones, soft tissues, etc. and causes us to age faster!

“I love Dr. Lucy products because they are easy to apply and made with natural ingredients. I’m not only providing my skin with the best ingredients but keeping it protected with the entire skincare system. The quality of the serum, lotion and oil are far better than I’ve seen in a long time.
Ever since I started using Dr. Lucy I have seen and felt a significant difference in my skin. My skin is much softer and less tired looking. The moisture I feel from these products last throughout the day which is great for being a girl-on-the-go. I would highly recommend Dr. Lucy to anyone that wants to have younger looking, glowing skin! I know that I’m sharing these products with all of my friends and family and will be using them for a long time.”

Dr. Lucy...Serious French Skincare That Makes You Feel Happy!!!

...So my quest for really truly honest, pure, healing, as close to 100% organic as I could get constantly took me back to essential oils, natural carrier oils and ingredients. I experimented on myself for a long time. When I finally felt “I had something,” I then tested it on my family. Fortunately they jumped at the chance! With all my research I felt I finally had an incredibly consistent and balancing skin care line. What’s more, so did they!!

"View Your Beauty Routine Like the French!"

"Skin Care Lasts a Lifetime, While Makeup Lasts a Day"

Feel Good About What You Put on Your Face!!!

“Skin Care Lasts a Lifetime, While Makeup Lasts a Day”

American women tend to see skin care from a clinical point of view, while French women often consider their time with their skin care a pleasurable ritual that plays a part in their day. The French philosophy on beauty is simply to make looking great and aging well a part of their daily life. They do that by pampering their skin with the most beneficial ingredients Mother Nature has to offer. French women see their skin care as an investment in themselves and will buy more skin care products than makeup. The philosophy is that skin care lasts a lifetime, while makeup lasts a day.

Why The French Way...

Hi Everyone!!!

People always ask me why I wanted to start my own skincare company when there are so many products on the market today. I think the simplest way to put it is, I wanted product that had integrity, honesty, truth that fed and nurtured our skin, something that truly worked, and that we could show our daughters, sons, our families and our friends that their really is high quality skincare out there that works and that is good for you. Integrity, honesty, truth and giving are truly the bases of my company.
Love,
Rebecca Siegfried CEO
