Skincare Tips: Fall

SKINCARE FOR FALL

The seasons are changing and here in Colorado it's nearly fall! The leaves are changing to a golden color with vibrant reds and surrounding brilliant oranges! My skin is changing as well! I seem to have dry patches of skin on my face generally around my nose and around my cheek area. This is the time where some with oily skin might notice their skin turns a bit normal, or those with normal skin might consider their skin is suddenly dry.You might need to change up your skin care products and switch them accordingly. If you aren't sure whether your skin needs a new regime,try talking to a consultant at a cosmetics counter. Many times they can ask you simple questions to see what skin care type you fall in.

Oil-Based Scrub

I think oily based scrubs are perfect for fall and winter because you are getting the exfoliating benefits with the extra bonus of hydrating oils. (most people have dryer skin during the cold seasons) And when it comes to oily scrubs, the choices are endless! You can find scrubs that have a lot of oil swimming on top all the way to scrubs that are more of a solid consistency. I love skincare and there are so many great ones out there don't be afraid to venture out and find your additional holly grail products!

Moisturize Every Single Day!

I can't stress this enough; if you want to keep dry skin at bay, you must hydrate your skin on a daily basis. The best time to apply your lotion is right after you've dried off after your shower or bath. Seal in the moisture that's already been absorbed into your skin.

Sunscreen is a daily essential, so don't set it aside.

Dry or combination skin?Use a moisturizer with SPF 15 at the minimum and reapply with a facial sunscreen throughout the day as needed. One of the best facial sunscreens around is Clarins: UV Plus Day Screen with SPF 40. It's light as can be mineral base makes it soak in fast with a matte finish. I apply this in the morning before applying my makeup, it helps fight of the rays of the day and keep my skin looking great.

Oily Skin? Apply a light moisturizer to your body as soon as you leave the bath or shower. Use oil-free moisturizers with at least 15 SPF sunscreen for best results. These moisturizers are made to absorb quickly into the skin and last all day long without causing shine or exacerbating oily skin.

Indulge In Hand Cream

Your hands are in and out of water on a very regular basis, so you need to apply moisturizer more frequently to your hands than the rest of your body. That's why it's so important to have a hand creme in your handbag, I carry a few different kinds in my handbag at all times!

Review: eb5 Facial Cream

Ive depotted the product into a 3gram jar, I find I tend to use up the entire product this way rather then taking it straight from the opened sample pack.



Ingredients: Deionized Water, Propylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Stearic Acid, Mineral Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Panthenol, Allantoin, Retinyl Palmitate, Cholecalciferol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Potassium Sorbate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Site Says: Light Enough for Day, Strong Enough for Night
eb5 Facial Cream is one of the lightest and most penetrating facial creams available today. For best results, apply in the morning after cleansing and toning with eb5 Cleansing Formula and Toning Formula. Repeat at night to allow eb5’s rejuvenation agents to treat your skin while you sleep.

eb5 works like 5 products in 1 jar!
1) Wrinkle Cream
2) Firming Cream
3) Make - Up Base
4) Throat Cream
5) 24 Hour Moisturizer




I Think: Well as I always say with my reviews on facial treatments its better to prevent then to treat! I use facial creams every single day for aging. Firming creams, spot treatments wrinkles & so on. I noticed with this cream its aimed towards "treating" however... I found it to work rather well with keeping my face from breaking out even the least bit. I don't break out to often and when I do its only one or two little bits. I have not got any sign of breakouts since Ive used the product. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and is also nice because it does not carry a scent!

Moisturizer? Yes! It is a bit thicker like a butter cream which is nice. It sinks into the skin well like it has been whipped. I used this a few times under my makeup and it made for a smooth finish. However it did not provide "24" hour moisture.

Packaging: Well I had the sample so I can't say to much about it. It had all the information on the back as displayed in the photograph. It's a bit dull though. I also took in some time to research the full size packaging and it seems a bit dull to me as well. I like simple but for some reason this one does not pull me in.

I plan to buy the full size jar soon and use it for a long period and let you know if it works in the long run,keep in mind I have only used the product for the life span of the sample. For the price of the cream it would be a steal, I dont think it would hurt to get it ladies!

Price: $10.00 USD per oz. !!

Has anyone else tried this product?! I would love to hear your thoughts :)Ive been seeing it all over the blogs lately from the advertisers.

How To: Face Toner

*Someone recently asked me how to apply toner so I thought id make an entire post to answer the question for maybe others that are unsure as well. I think it is a very important step in the skin care process and everyone should know how.

How to apply facial toner properly
Step 1 Wash your face
Splash your face with warm water and make sure your hands are clean. Apply the cleanser to your face with circular motions. Make sure you cover all the areas forehead, chin, nose, cheeks and neck then rinse with lukewarm water.

Step 2 Apply the facial toner
A toner should always be applied to a cleansed face.

Toner can be applied with a cotton pad,clean hands or by spraying on.The most common way is with a cosmetic pad or cotton ball. Saturate the cotton pad and pat the toner gently over your face and neck area. Apply it to the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose, or to the whole face. Never rub your skin when applying toner.

Step 3 Apply moisturizer
After applying facial toner your skin may feel a little tight and dry and that's why you need to apply a facial moisturizer after toning your skin.

What are the benefits of using facial toners?!

Remove dirt and makeup residue

Complement the cleansing process

Refine pores and tighten pores temporarily

Make skin feel fresh and clean

Remove excess oil from the skin

Refresh tired complexion

Whisk away impurities

Reduce the appearance of fine lines

Helps set my makeup

Increase blood circulation

Restore your skin's natural pH balance

Helps to blend my makeup

Improve skin tone

Helps moisturizer seal in the hydration

Reduce oil secretion

Helps to soothe irritated skin

Improve the elimination of toxins

Speed up cell turnover

Promote sloughing of dead skin cells



REMEMBER: If you have areas of the skin that are badly broken out, you want to dab those areas last, so you don’t transfer bacteria from one part of the skin to the other, which may possibly result in more breakouts

Colour Supplements

I think makeup from lush is a true delight...
I love the products so much and when I got a chance to try this I was expecting only good things from it !! The supplements are all made without mineral oil (great news). Lush has used rice bran and soya oils to nourish the skin. The leading ingredient is Fresh Rose Petal infusion, fantastic !! I mix it with my moisturizer "Dramatic Firming Cream" to make a tinted moisturizer. It can also be used as a concealer by dabbing it on blemishes, It gives me the coverage I need & so far i've been using it for a while and I have not got any break outs from it.

4 shades:
Dark Pink is the darkest color for people with a pink skin.

Light Pink(The one I selected)is one of the lightest supplements. It can be blended with any of the others to create the right tint for you. This one is suited to people with pale or pink complexions

Light yellow If you have a porcelain complexion this is the one for you.
Has everyone else tried this!? What do you think about it...

Dark Yellow is a natural rose petal base with a darker shade for olive or yellow skins
