I have had alot of emails for skin care instruction...so those not interested just pass this by!!!! My motivation in skin care is understanding people feel so much better about themselves when they feel they look good! This is something I have always been interested in, and let's face it glowing skin just makes you shine!!! I don't sell anything, and I work on people that need help, and feel bad about themselves. I believe we should all be happy with ourselves, and be the best we can be!!! GOD loves us so much, and so we need to love ourselves!!! I have recently worked with a woman that has lived a very sad life with drugs..and too many things to talk about. When she looked at her face after a facial tears rolled down her cheeks, and she didn't even recognize herself!!
Anyway, many of you have asked for my skin care program as follows: I am a skin care specialist, and have spent years studying... really since I was a child!! This program is for men too, and many people are on my program with excellent results!!
1. It is never to late to start...to reveal the baby skin I call it! Sun, smoking, alcohol dehydrates, poor nutrition, and lack of water causes damage to the skin. Sun, being the #1 reason for damage! Clean your cell phones with alcohol wipes, and your make up brushes washing with Dawn. Store brushes in covered container. Keep your hands off your face except when doing skin care. Stay out of the sun except for 10-15 minutes for Vitamin D, wear a hat, sunscreen 30% spf, and sunglasses!Drink at least 6-8 8oz. of water per day, and eat alot of green vegetables because they are the nutrition for the skin. For beginning the program I recommend a facial from a facialist doing a deep pore cleansing, and exfoliating, but if you cannot then do it at home using this program.
2. Cleansing- wash two times daily morning and night with two washings each time...yes two washings!!! Use a cleanser like Origins Checks and Balances, and Dermalogica Special Cleanser, Oil of Olay sensitive Cleanser. Cleansing the skin is critical to healthy skin. Do not use bar soap because it builds up in the hair follicles, and will dull the skin, and is very harsh. I highly recommend a held machine to cleanse with..ex: Neutrogena has the Duo, and then one for exfoliating. I have both, but the Duo can be used to cleanse with day or night. The Duo is $16.99 and the Neutrogena exfoliator is $39.99. You must never go to bed without doing your skin care because toxins build up in the skin blocking hair follicles or pores which cause break outs, and dull skin! Skin needs oxygen, and it cannot breathe without cleansing properly. When you cleanse every movement is upward when using hands, and with the machine circular. The neck and declote'(chest) is an extension of the face, and trust me it shows as much as your face!!! The massaging with these machines is excellent because it brings blood flow to the face, neck, and declote'. With blood flow brings nutrition from eating a healthy diet. Skin at our age turns over...meaning sloughs off dead skin replacing it with new skin every 45 days! You will see improvement in 45- 60 days if you follow my program. Also, only cleanse as I have instructed because more than two cleansings per day can remove the skin barrier losing your protection of the skin. Rinse with warm water...follow with cold. Do at least one hot towel steaming on your face 15 minutes each week...heat your towels in the microwave for about 1 minute or 2, and shake out towels to cool.
2. Exfoliating...depending if you have thin skin or thicker skin. Thick skin like mine can be exfoliated more often like twice a week, and thin skin once a week every two weeks. Now remember the machine exfoliator will do alot to smooth skin and remove dead skin, but I recommend an exfoliator with smaller cyrstals...Large crystals tend to tear the hair follicles making the pores larger. You must remove the dead skin, and many will have years of dead skin if not exfoliated regularly. Dermalogica, Oil of Olay have excellent exfoliators. The pads to the Duo machine have salicylic acid, and this helps to exfoliate, as does the other Neurtrogena machine. Also, problem areas are on the nose with comodones (black heads) Origins has a product for black heads, and so does Biore' at Walgreens...strips. The machines will help tremendously to remove impurities and comodones. Your face should feel like a babies bottom!!!
3. After cleansing use moisturizer day and night, including your eye cream. Use extra moisture in your problem areas around eyes, and wrinkles between eyes, and around the mouth. Some sunscreens act as a moisturizer so you may not need more unless you are dry. Don't think you have to spend alot of money on a moisturizer because there are many inexpensive moisturizers. Jojoba oil using a few drops is very close to the skins sebum. I use Dermalogica (Active Moist, and Smoothing Cream in the winter) and you can call the Dermal Institute in Dallas to see who sells it in your area I have used it for 11 years, but I have changed to Sonja Dekar, Origins. Cindy Crawfords Meaningful Beauty, and too many to mention, but always go back to Dermalogica. I find there is something good in many lines, and many are not costly. For men I recommend Dermalogica, Origins, and Kiels is great too! What works for you might not work for me! If you have dry skin you will want to use occlusive products which hold the moisture in. You can call me to consult on what you should buy! I don't believe in buying a bunch of products, but only products that work for you! Don't forget your sunscreen before you put on your makeup.
4. Massaging...critical to good skin because of blood flow. It build collagen which makes the skin firm, exercises muscles in face to firm or hold up your skin! You massage your skin everytime you wash or put on your moisture with only upward movement. The duo and exfoliator machine is excellent, and you can put moisturizer on your face and massage with the duo on high and low speed. Work on problem areas like around mouth where we develop lines around mouth and notice sagging, neck, and double chins. Remember push in and up with a little pressure. I use my hands and the duo. You are toning those muscles...much like working out and toning your body muscles. Oh, also are you starting to lose your lips? Exercise those also with your teeth going over and over them to bring blood flow in.
4. Makeup for ladies: I highly recommend La Bella Donna which is pure minerals, and is very good for the skin. It does not have talc in it. It has a 20spf, and you will not burn with it, and your sunscreen. You can find it at Lake Austin Spa in Austin, Tx. You can purchase it online at Labelladonna.com If you have a problem, my sister Janie has the website. You need a color chart, but I find that many colors work for several people. It is awesome, and I have been wearing it only for 11 years. I do not wear any makeup base, only this powder. When you follow this program you will find you need less makeup to cover your skin. Also, do not use pressed powder...it looks cakey, but the loose mineral powder looks natural and allows your skin to glow through. Now don't choke the mineral powder is $50.00, but trust me it covers and you will love it. You will need a very soft brush, and extra one when washing the other one. They also have mineral blush, and the creamy eye cover is excellent! I will consult with you one the color. I use Nicoletta and Umbria, and a bronzer called Urban Decay found at Sephoria. Also, one of my secrets learned from my gorgeous Mother is once you have applied your makeup, blush, bronzer then you will use about a dime size of moisturizer..rubbed on the inside of your hands..then pat it all over your face. My Mom used water, but your moisturizer makes your skin glow!
5. Mask- once a week. Dry skin- use fresh avacado, oily skin..mud mask, and there is an excellent Merlot peel mask at Walgreens! It is grape seed mask! Also, you know that oatmeal and egg heated in the microwave makes a great mask. Remove it with warm wash rag.
6. Also, there is something that I feel is very important...SUGAR and high carb diets are very bad for the skin. Sugar breaks down collagen causing sagging of the face. Low carb diet works the best for great skin. A skin vitamin is good if you aren't eating enough greens! Drink water, water, water!!!!
Oh...I want to share about my sister, Janie. She has been on my program for about 2 1/2 months, and she is looking great! You know she is when people are noticing!! Vicki Fleming is now on the program, and she looked better in the two days we were together!!! She also is now on the Adkins diet. The diet does clear up your skin!!!
I am here for you for any skin problems or consultation, and I am FREE!!!!!
