Bonjour ma cherie!
A little dark and grainy but you get the idea!
What are your favorite perfumes?

I choose real magic!

“Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores.”
Face oil... always!
Face oil... always!
Just like the plants and leaves the skin is wanting to dehydrate during this transition period into Fall. By using a fresh, natural, potent face oil like Dr. Lucy’s you are giving your skin the extra help it needs to stay plump, hydrated, calm and balanced.
What happens to your skin while traveling?
Changing routines, different foods, hidden beaches are sometimes exactly what you need but can wreak havoc on your skin. Not to mention the low humidity of the plane, and the climate you are coming from. This all can play a huge part in breakouts, larger pores, tired looking, dry skin.

Your fix?
Pay extra attention on the outside which include fresh, natural, calming and hydrating skin care products. On the inside sleep💤, whole foods, good oils, organic, grass fed proteins (if you eat them) and lots of spring water.

‘By cleansing twice, you're ensuring that both the first layer of sebum, make-up, sunscreen and deeper layers of pore bacteria, which can all aggravate acne, are removed,' explains Dr. Anjali Mahto, consultant dermatologist at the Cadogan Clinic

A quick go with a face wipe will do nothing to properly dislodge foundation and pollution particles, and if all of that is left on your skin overnight, you aren't giving your skin cells the best chance at regenerating which means no plump, youthful complexion for you.
Olive fruit oil in a face masque? Absolutely!
Olive oil contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K which are beneficial to the skin.

“The cleanser you use is the most important part of your skin care routine. It is the start and end of your day, it simultaneously clears off the dirt and grime and preps your skin for your products, so if you’re using the wrong one, your other products just won’t be as effective.”- says, Aubrey Wallace of Annmarie

"I like to recommend toning while traveling," says Harper. "The air in-flight is so drying, and a toner will cleanse, hydrate, and leave you feeling refreshed." -says, Ruthie Harper, of the Laser and Skincare Clinic in Austin Texas
Natural face serum = better skin.
As Dermatologist Dr. Adam Geyer says:
“As people have become savvier about their skin-care routines, layering has become increasingly prevalent. By using a serum, people are able to intensify the strength of their regimen or round out the ingredients they are applying to their skin to provide a more comprehensive approach to anti-aging and hydration,” Geyer says. “Serums are usually formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients so that a few drops are sufficient to cover the entire face.”

Serum Tip!
Serum Tip!
I actually keep a sample of serum in my purse for random times throughout the day. For example, when I brush my teeth after lunch, I wipe around my mouth to be sure the excess toothpaste, etc. is gone then I reapply my serum by patting it on my mouth area and neck to ward off the fine lines and tiny wrinkles. I use the remainder of the serum on the back of my hands and arms.
* Restoring skin cells and their structure is vital for calming inflammation, evening out skin tone, aiding in collagen repair for more youthful looking skin.
Your first step in skin care is so important for the health of your skin...
🍒 Many conventional cleansers contain powerful detergents (aka surfactants) that—just as they break up oil spills on roadway or grease on a frying pan—strip away the natural, beneficial oils on your skin. Cosmetic companies’ solutions tend to involve adding back in moisturizer once you’ve cleansed, a strategy akin to substituting vitamins for whole foods. Instead, think of moisture like a healthy supplement, not the main event, and think of proper skincare, in large part, as an effort to maintain the natural oils you’ve got on skin. -Goop
Do I really need a natural toner? Yes, a thousand times yes!
Skin cells are like fish and need water to live so be sure to use a toner immediately after cleansing. To wipe or spray it over the skin and leave it damp, it does not take much time at all (15-20 seconds!) So don’t think of it as another unnecessary, time-consuming step. Your skin needs as much hydration and protection as possible for it to be in its healthiest state so it can look and feel its best. -Renee Rouleau

🍒 A Helpful Hint!
If you don’t tone first, when you hop into the shower your pores will open up quickly and absorb even more dirt and grime from the day, creating more of a problem.
