Awesome New Product

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

resur.a.sticI’m in love with the new resurf.a.stic.s they are really cool. First they are easy to use, second they are REALLY effective. You apply it like a deodorant then you wet your fingers and spread it all over the area (they make 4 types, for different body parts). Then you massage in a circular motion and rinse. Voila, very, very smooth skin. You are ready to proceed with other products. They will be so much more effective as you have exfoliated off all the dead cellular debris.

Drink more water, for clear skin.

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Many times, when clients come in for a facial and we get to talking about some of their skin issues, the discussion turns to things like the dark circles under their eyes or trouble with blemishes. Some have issues with ruddy skin, and others are bothered by a sallow complexion. Often, these clients also have visibly dehydrated skin. So I ask them about their water intake and a typical response is, “Oh, I don’t like drinking water.” Or, “Yeah I’m bad about that.”

Drinking water is truly one of the best things you can do for your skin. Get and stay hydrated. It keeps skin plump and moist. If you’re dehydrated, your body will take the water it needs for vital organs like your brain and your heart from your skin (a less vital organ), leaving it looking less than its best. We may think that good looking skin is vital, but in a hydration crisis, our body just doesn’t get it and those other organs are going to get the water they need. Drinking water also helps flush out toxins and helps our digestive system move things along. The faster those toxins can leave your system, the less time they have to interfere with your skin’s health. Water is truly key.

If you’re suffering from some of these same skin issues, and aren’t already drinking approximately 8 glasses of water a day, try it, and see if your situation improves. There are, of course, other reasons that people develop these kinds of problems, and they can be addressed with proper treatment, but upping your water intake to make sure you’re fully hydrated is a great place to start for everyone, especially as we enter the warmer months of the year.

When my clients make this simple change, they are amazed at what they see. And guess what? You will be too! You already take care of your skin. But you’ve got to moisturize your body from the inside. If your problem is a lack of water, there is not a topical product around that can fix that for you.

All Mascara’s are not created equal.

Blinc Mascara (A.K.A Kiss Me Mascara) is one of the best I’ve worked with for a few good reasons:

  1. Most people that have allergies to standard mascara can use this safely.
  2. It does not run, smudge or flake, so it’s ideal for brides. You can cry and not worry about your make-up running.
  3. It’s never clumpy, or too heavy looking. If you want to pump it up, use the primer.
  4. Last but not least, when you wash it off, it comes off easily. Just press a warm cloth to your eyes, hold for 20 seconds and gently rub. The mascara will release from your lashes in small little tubes, no raccoon eyes or blackened face cloth.

Try it, you will love it, and never go back to anything else. It’s a great make-up artist’s best kept secret. Sigrid

 

Yonka Paris Cleanser Lait Nettoyant.

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

This has been by far, over the years, my favorite. Why? Well, because when it comes to removing your make-up, it does it all! It’s gentle to the skin, but it removes eye make-up (even stubborn mascara) in one clean sweep and also lifts and washes away make-up, dirt, and secretions. So it does 2 in 1 and it smells lovely, too, making life easy. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? No wonder make-up artists, celebrities, and aestheticians, like myself, covet this luxurious cleanser. Best of all, it’s suitable for all skin types. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll be happy to know you can share the joy with all your friends.

Bion for acne

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009



I have been amazed over the past few weeks at how many of my clients who have started on Bion, have cleared up their acne. This stuff produces results, and clients are happy.

As an Aesthetician, one of the most common problems and complaints I hear about is acne. No one likes to have break outs; it’s hard on the self esteem. When you find a product that performs and can resolve 90% of the acne cases you see, well, you love it. It’s all about picking the right mix of products for the type of acne you have.

It can be helpful if you can figure out when the break outs started. Did you change anything in your daily routine? Come off BCP or go on them? Did you change cleansers or make up, start using a new face cream or primer? People with all types of skin can have acne, but they’re not all going to want the same treatment. Do you have oily or sensitive skin, or do you have a lot of dryness with your acne? All these factors play into determining the best skin care routine for you. Bion is working wonders for many of my clients. It may do the same for you. It’s important to get on the right product for you and to BE COMPLIANT. Compliance is going to be key for achieving results with any skin care regimen, especially when you’re dealing with acne. But, hey, you’re worth it!

This is definitely my happy product of the week. If you’ve got questions about Bion, just ask. You can reach me at customerservice@beautygonegreen.com. Sigrid
