CREATING BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Creating beauty from the inside out is easier that it may seem.  I have found that when we really take the time for ourselves daily, whether it be 5 minutes or 50, changes occur.  One of my favorite ways to "honor" and "love" myself is thru "mindful application." Instead of hurrying thru your beauty routine focus on how you wash your face, really massaging your skin and neck.  Applying a  hot compress also really soothes and relaxes our body as we prepare our skin for treatments.  And that is what I can all the lotions and potions that are added after a wash. By treating your skin with a mist of rose water your hydrating your face as well as awakening your senses.  I love to press my maracuja oil into my skin while slightly damp letting the face absorb all that great moisture.
By giving yourself this time, nurturing and paying attention, the mind shifts and love occurs. This transcends thru the rest of our day and beyond.

Are there any beauty regimes that make you feel honored and help start your day?

FACE OILS FOR WRINKLES!!

I am here once again speaking about the dreaded "w" word.  We all hate them but there is hope!! Face oils for wrinkles!!  The one thing that many of us try and stay away from is probably the best thing for the skin on our face.  Why? Because they maintain the integrity of the lipid barrier.  What's that? Well, lipids are fat molecules that give our skin plumpness.  Over time they dwindle.  Face oils actually feed them and are like anti-oxidents in a way.  Protecting our youthful appearance.  One of my favorite face oils is by Tarte.  It's called Maracuja oil.  It works on so many levels.  It contains essential fatty acids to repair and hydrate skin as well as Vitamin C to promote brightness.  All these ingredients in one little bottle makes simple beauty, simple!

One of My Favs

I have mentioned Maracuja oil before and I want to talk about it again.  This time of year when the weather is changing and it's warm one day, freezing the next our skin really takes a beating.  The one thing that keeps mine nourished and consistent is Maracuja oil. Tarte makes the best composition of it.  It's non greasy and extremely hydrating and moisturizing.  They also are using it in their divine shine lip glosses. So you get all the benefits of the oil in a plumping, hydrating gloss.  Simple and Beautiful!
