Getting CLEAR skin

Getting CLEAR skin

Email me at m.ruela123@yahoo.com for comments that need answers

So my new routine has started as of 10-05-11.... I'm going to be using mostly Lush products and Origin products....... Its hard to see the bad ones on my chin and the ones that are hard crazy bumps that aren't noticeable. I do have a lot of scaring and that I will work on next.





My morning starts.....
1.   Lush Fresh Farmacy cleanser... I wet my finger tips then soap them up with the cleanser and message it into your face. Then rinse it off and pat the face dry.

2.   Then I will tone my face using Lush Tea Tree Water. I normally spray 2-4 times all over my face then pat it in with my finger tips.

3.   Then its off to the Lush Grease Lightning. I squirt 2 pumps onto my finger tips and pat it all over my face.

4.   Then I use Orgins GinZing eye cream and origins VitaZing moisturizer. Makeup time!!

My night ends....   Taking off makeup or if I'm not wearing makeup it works the same.

1.   I use extra virgin olive oil.. it has to be pure and I just message it into my face for a 1-2 minutes then wipe it off with a dry wash cloth.
If I have makeup on then I will do this step 2 times. First time is to help get the makeup and the second time it to clean my pores.

2.   Then I will repeat the Lush Fresh Farmacy cleanser step.

3.   Then I will repeat the Lush Tea Tree Water toning step.

4.   Last I will repeat the Lush Grease Lightning step.

Random through out the week

    Probably 2-3 times a week I will use the Origins Modern Friction after I remove my makeup with the pure olive oil. First I message it into my face (dry.. no water) for about a minute or so then I add just a little water and message it for another minute. Then I rinse off. (If I do this step then I will skip the Lush Fresh Farmacy cleanser)

   2-3 times a week... Aztec Indian Healing Clay.... I mix a scoop of the clay with a scoop of Raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. Mix until its a paste then I leave it on my face for 20 minutes or so. Then rinse off with warm water.

Product Info
Fresh-Farmacy-Facial-Cleanser
Fresh Farmacy is the soothing, cleansing bar to reach for whenever you see a spot starting rear its ugly head. It makes a tiny bit of froth to clean your face gently. And because it's made with masses of calamine and chamomile, it's one of the most extraordinarily calming cleansers known to humankind.

Grease Lightning
Super effective, spot-zapping face gel, with aloe and witch hazel. The thyme, tea tree and rosemary antibacterial infusion dries invisibly and you can feel the witch hazel shrinking mini-volcanoes.
It was created by several of our store managers, who wanted to create a spot treatment for problem skin. 500 green grapes go into every batch and combat the dirt that builds around spots.


Tea Tree Water
Tea tree is extremely soothing and can work wonders on troubled or oily skin. We've also added juniper berry and grapefruit waters to refresh and tone with natural oils.

Origins Modern Friction
Sand-blasting skin with coarse, chemical crystals? How painfully passé. Here’s age-smoothing exfoliation without irritation. Skin-refining Rice Starch, cushioned in cream, shows real affinity for rapidly removing sluggish cells, uneven patches and signs of skin damage and discolorations. Lemon Oil kick starts the process of illumination. Another age-sweeping action: skin-menacing molecules are mopped up. All while Aloe keeps skin calm and comfy. There’s no ouch, extra steps or other complications. No redness or flaking follows. The before-and-afters are amazing. Signs of fine lines and size of pores appear to shrink in size. Skin looks perfectly polished, smooth and luminous. And the perk-me-up aromas of Bergamot and Peppermint help you look on the bright side.

Origins ZitaGing Energy-Booster Moisturizer
This multi-tasking moisturizer handles the vital jobs of hydrating, energizing and protecting to maintain skin's momentum all day. Gives skin the refreshing zing of antioxidant-rich Mangosteen. And adds a healthy hit of radiance that mimics the glow you get from a week's vacation. All in 10 seconds max. Slip it on first thing tomorrow - you'll look like you eat right, sleep tight & don't
have a worry in sight.

Late night? Long flight? Look tired all the time? Prepare to become one of the perky people! Nature’s clinically-proven morning-after eye cream instantly reduces dark circles. Unsightly bags and puffiness virtually disappear.

Word of the Day: Psalms 1: 1-3

Word of the Day: Psalms 1: 1-3

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
 Psalms 1: 1-3

Product Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Product Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation
The reason why I love Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup so much is because it has great coverage, without any heaviness, it goes on very light with a matte finish which is really nice.  I am one that does not like to do touch-ups, who has the time, so at the end of the day when I look in the mirror, I get a nice surprise and I still look great.  Before this foundation , it would be OMG, I went around like this!! The longevity is the best I’ve seen.  The color has a nice amount of yellow in it, where it brightens your face.  If you can find the right color to  match your skin, this foundation would be the bomb for you!

So this is what I do with this foundation and make it  work for me.  I use this foundation as a concealer/spot coverage, concentrating on areas around my eyes, darker areas or redness around my nose and lips.  This foundation is great for this because of it’s, stay in place, long-wearing quality.  Then the rest of my face, if I feel my skin needs it,  I use a second foundation thats a darker color with a lighter coverage to complete my whole face.



I bought a MAC foundation pump to use one the EL and it works great! In the summer Im in 4N1 Wheat and in the winter Im 3N1 Ivory Beige.

FORMULA FACTS- Oil-free
- Dermatologist-tested
- Non-acnegenic
- Fragrance-free

What the Estee Lauder says about it: 'stay in place make up' with 15hour staying power.
What I say: get this foundation if you want a light feeling foundation with staying power like no other. This foundation dries so fast (so yes, you have to work fast) that you barely need to powder it. It stays put all day, even through sweat. This stuff literally will not move unless you want it to.

Finish: Semi matte.
Price: $35.00


Pros:
-a little goes a long long way
-stays put all day long with little to no touch up required
-large colour range
-doesn't transfer to clothes or change colour

Cons:
-comes in a glass bottle without a pump (I know some people don't like this)
-tad pricey
-glass bottle = worst nightmare for clumsy people ie myself.

Product Review : L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara



Product Review: L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara Carbon Black

I wanted to write a long product review about this mascara but all I can say is.....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! At a amazing retail price ( $7, drugstores) beautiful packaging and thick brush. I think this is the mascara of my dreams.



Would you like thicker, longer, FULLER lashes? This mascara does it all. Being that you should replace your mascara every 2-3 months its affordable to do just that, while giving you amazing lash results.

Top 5: Beauty Foods

 Top 5: Beauty Foods

1. Carrots are good for your skin too! Beta-carotene - found in carrots is a powerful antioxidant and will help your skin stay young longer. Some studies also show that beta-carotene can repair sun damage.



2. Salmon is not only delicious and is my favorite fish, it is also good for your skin as it is rich in the precious Omega-3 fatty acids. They help maintain cell membranes keeping skin healthy, hydrated and supple. According to somestudies Omega 3 helps toprotect skin against sun damage.




3. Tomatoes contain high levels of Vitamin C and lycopene. Vitamin C is involved in collagen production and protects cells from free radical damage. Lycopene is an effective antioxidant which fights the free radicals that damage skin cells, interfere with cells growth and activity.




4. Spinach is one of my favorites! It contains luitein. Studies show that lutein increases skin hydration, elasticity and skin lipid content.


5. Watermelon, be it a fruit or a plant, is not only the best treat on a hot summer day but the right way to hydrate your skin! Which is crusial to its beauty every day! Remember, hydration is absolutely necessary for the best healthiest function of the cells. According to Dr Murad eating water is much more effective than drinking water because this way fluid gets directly into the cells and is not waisted in our swollen ankles and puffy eyes! And listen to this, watermelons are 97% water!
