Hydrating Moisturizer

Pure Skin OCLeave a comment

I LOVE this moisturizer! Well, I love all their moisturizers but since my skin tends to be more dry, this is a good one for me.

Hydrate and protect skin with the healing benefits of shea butter. Seaweed binds moisture within the skin while aloe soothes, calms and provides hydration.

Rose Hip strengthens capillaries and soothes inflamed skin. It promotes deep hydration that protects from environmental damage while relieving the surface signs of aging.

Why You Should Start Using Grapeseed Oil

Pure Skin OCLeave a comment

It’s been around for a long time but there are so many oils that are beneficial to your skin these days that it’s hard to keep track of what we should and shouldn’t use. Argan, Macadamia Nut, Olive, etc. They are all good for different reasons so I guess it is really about what you are looking for the oil to do for you. The best part is, it’s not expensive. You don’t have to pay a fortune to get the benefits of this amazing oil. Here are some reasons why I am going to incorporate grapeseed oil into my skin care routine…

1. Great for oily skin– It can help regulate the oil production in your skin. Use at night.

2. Great for dry skin– It is a great moisturizer especially in the winter when you find your skin to be more dry or even chapped.

3. Fast Absorption– This is a lightweight oil so it will absorb quickly and not leave the skin feeling greasy. You can use this all over your body too. Mix with your body lotion/cream or alone.

4. Antioxidants– Yes, it contains antioxidants so it will protect you from those nasty free radicals that are determined to destroy your skin.

5. Collagen– Grapeseed oil protects the collagen in your skin and that is what keeps your skin firm. It also improves the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid (which helps bind moisture to the skin).

6. Skin Tone– Used daily and consistently, it may help your skin become more even and brighter.

7. Eye Makeup Remover– A little goes a long way. Great for removing stubborn mascara and some say it will actually  make your lashes stronger and grow longer.

Read this article! I have been talking about this for years. The manufacturers mislead us in the cosmetic industry because THEY CAN!! They are not regulated as much as other industries. Consumers are paying a fortune for over-the-counter products because they are told of all the amazing ingredients that will transform their skin. Lies!

How to Look Great in Photos!

Pure Skin OCLeave a comment

So the holidays are here and New Years is just around the corner. That means lots and lots of pictures! Pictures you will be looking at for a very long time. Wouldn’t be nice to finally love what you see and not feel the need to photoshop? Here are some tips that will be Facebook ready!

1. Makeup- Make sure your foundation (including the powder) is photo friendly. This way when the flash hits your face, you won’t turn white.

2. Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens.

3. Put your tongue behind your teeth and smile. It will relax your face. Try it!

4. Practice the model pose- Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider.

5. Standing Photos- Shoulders back, spine straight, suck in stomach.

6. Sitting Photos- Shoulders back, spine straight, suck in stomach. 🙂 Yep, same thing.

7. Angling your body is important and this may take practice. Luckily we have digital cameras now so we can do this over and over again until we figure out our best angle and pose. (find a friend for this one) Keep your arm at your waist but find a way to do it naturally. Sticking one leg out and your hip at an angle is flattering to shape of your body. Point it different ways at the camera. Straight on is the least flattering because it can make you look wide (even if you’re not).

8. The camera adds 10lbs (ugh!)- To make the face appear slimmer, tilt you head up slightly while turning it 3/4 — or angle your camera slightly above your head while tilting your face halfway. Never take a photo from eye’s level it will flatten your face.

9. Know your colors and what looks good on you! You can do all the steps above but if you are wearing the wrong colors or the wrong outfit, none of it may matter. On the flip side, if you LOVE what you wear and are confident, that goes a long way! Black does not look good on everyone…sorry. 😦

10. On a night that I know pictures will be taken, I always take pictures of myself first. That way I know if I will like my hair, makeup, jewelry, etc in pictures. What I see in the mirror is not always what I see in pictures.

Pomegranate was recently included in the elite group of superfruits because of its amazing health benefits.

It contains a host of powerful antioxidant components, which are responsible brightening or lightening the skin tone. In extending the life of fibroblasts, it promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which give strength and support to the skin.
