Roses, Minis and Monday!
“Rosehip seed oil contains a blend of bioactive ingredients that can potentially be beneficial to the skin, for example vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, and essential fatty acids,” adds Dr. Julia Tzu, a dermatologist who is also an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at New York University. “It may be potentially beneficial as an anti-aging product because of the antioxidant ingredients it contains. Its high vitamin C content suggests that it may also be useful for treating dark spots, since vitamin C decreases the pigment-producing ability of the skin.”
Detox my skin?
Yes, when you go from chemical skin care to natural skin care your skin goes through a detoxification process (and we don’t mean breakouts). What happens after the detoxification process? Your skin is not struggling to survive anymore. It becomes stress free, starts to breathe properly and come alive again. Now you can have beautiful skin naturally.
Use your intuition.
Here are some reasons your intuition is telling you to change your skin care products because something just doesn’t feel right.
+They tell me my skin has to get use to the products then it will stop breaking out.
+Smells too perfumey.
+The texture is too thick.
+The texture is too thin.
+Burns my face when I put it on.
+Dries out my skin.
+Makes my skin greasy.
+My skin Looks dull.
+My skin is flakey.
+I can't understand the ingredients on the bottle, they sound like a chemistry
experiment.
+Doesn't really hydrate like it said it would.
+I guess my skin just doesn't absorb properly.
+They say the products are natural but they really are not working for me.
+I must be different than everyone else.
+No you are not different, they just do not belong on your skin.
Naturally potent and properly formulated products make you look and feel good about your skin! Intuition wins again!
Why does Dr. Lucy use organic Aloe leaf juice?
* Aloe leaf juice speeds up skin cell reproduction by as much as eight times and penetrates the epidermis (outer skin layer) four times faster than water. According to Dr. Danhof of North Texas Research Laboratories
* Aloe acts as a growth hormone stimulating the growth of new cells. National Institute of Health.
* After a simple application with Aloe in moisturizing products increased the water content of the outer skin layers (Epidermis) skin hydration. Says, SE Dal'Belo Skin Research Technologist
*Aloe contains two hormones plus 75 different vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc. These two hormones have anti-inflammatory properties and reduces skin inflammation.

Dr. Lucy’s 2 in 1 eye and face serum!
First, what is serum?
A serum is a skincare product you can apply to your skin after cleansing but before moisturizing with the intent of delivering powerful ingredients directly into the skin. Serum is particularly suited to this task because it is made up of smaller molecules that can penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of active ingredients. This makes them a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns, like wrinkle and other signs of aging.
Is serum a moisturizer?
Yes and no. Serums can be chock-full of moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic to help skin retain moisture. But, that doesn't make them moisturizers in the traditional sense. Face lotions and creams are richer and create a barrier on top of the skin to keep all that good stuff in. -ITG
How often should I change my pillowcase?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've already heard that, when it comes to changing your bed sheets, the optimum amount to do so is once a week. This keeps your sleeping area fresh, clean and free from bacteria. But is this the same for your pillowcases?
According to Australian cleaning expert, Shannon Lush, pillowcases should be changed a lot more often. In fact, they should be changed every other day!
"Pillowcases should be changed every second day without fail," Ms Lush told news.com.au. "It's against your face, and your hair holds more dirt than anywhere else on the body. It's like a mop."Most people don't wash their pillows enough, and it's really vile. It collects old skin cells, which we shed especially when we are asleep. The pillow is a major cause of blackheads."
Moisturizing tips!
The biggest mistake I see people making with their moisturizer is where they don't apply it! Moisturizer should be applied to the face and the neck, since the neck and throat area is an extension of the face and needs attention, too. You also want to be sure to apply moisturizer evenly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finally, don't make the mistake of applying extra layers of moisturizer in an attempt to heal dry skin. Using thicker coats of moisturizer may result in clogged pores and definitely product waste; the skin can only absorb so much. When it comes to applying moisturizer with sunscreen (the most effective anti-wrinkle product available) it’s even more important to follow these guidelines. But, when it comes to the neck, don't skimp. -Renee Rouleau
It’s time to come visit the powerful world of fresh, natural, ingredients.

Simple advice.
Do you want to know the best advice to women that want to start a French skin care routine?
Cleanse your skin every single day before bedtime and moisturize! As we age moisture loss, old makeup and sebum can set in causing everything from deep wrinkles, fine lines and enlarged pores that can make us appear to look much older than we are.
Final piece of French skin care advice?
Learn to accept the skin you're in! Embrace imperfections. It's all about confidence!
