What is the best Anti Aging product you can use?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

It’s sunscreen!    Sunscreen is your number one anti aging skin product you can use, you can be sure of that. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 15 (use a sunscreen with a higher rating if you plan to be in the sun for a longer period of time). Also, be sure that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects your skin from damage from UVA and UVB rays. Finally, be sure that your sunscreen is water resistant even if you are not planning on swimming –- your sweat alone undo the protection of non-water resistance sunscreens. All the ointments, moisturizers and creams in the world can’t compare to the anti aging effectiveness of ordinary sunscreen.

Beauty Gone Green Offers great sunscreens like SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50. Its great for everyday anti aging protection. A groundbreaking first-to-market mattifying fluid with transparent finish, this paraben-free, all-physical filter sunscreen provides increased protection in an ultra-sheer texture for all skin types, even very sensitive. Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50® offers the photoprotection of trusted broad-spectrum, physical filters, zinc oxide (Z-COTE®) and titanium dioxide, and is enhanced by artemia salina, a plankton extract, to increase the skin’s defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress.

The unique ‘shake then apply’ action assures even distribution of active ingredients in this silky sheer fluid that dries quickly and leaves no residue

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
