SKIN CARE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR WOMEN WHO WANT
TO AGE GRACEFULLY.
Remember after loosing weight it takes 6 months to a year sometimes even up to 2
years for skin to bounce back/regain it's elasticity. Did you know that cream with
retinol (vitamin A) helps with cellulite. Also using a loofah along with creams daily
containing ingredients such as collagen, vitamin e, shea butter, cocoa butter, hyaluronic
acid, elastin, soy, peptides and so on....... Dr Renaud has a good body cream and so
does Phyto Sintesi
Lipsticks/Lipgloss - Did you know that light colors and glossy/creamy finish make lips appear
fuller while dark and matt make lips look smaller.!
Regular Facials will improve skin's texture, radiance, tone and overall appearance.
Dehydrated skin - Dehydration of the skin is related to cold or hot outdoor or indoor
temperatures, wind, sun, air conditioner, heating it can also be caused by emotional
feelings like anger, stress, or any condition that affects the nervous system. Dry skin
is cause by not having enough oils in the skin, and dehydrated skin is from not having
enough water in the skin. Dr Renaud Hydrascience AHD3 creams or Hydracomplexe
Serum or Hydrascience Mask are beneficial .
Frenchwomen regard the pampering of the skin and body as an enjoyable ritual not as another thing
they have to do........ taking care of their skin takes top priority, they follow rigorous skincare
regimes, THEY love and use toners daily and the regular use of masks and light oils is very important
to their routine. Frenchwomen do not beleive in harsh invasive/aggressive treatments they prefer
gentle care. They use good quality products (yes quality does make a difference, through my
professional knowledge and on hands experience with this daily in the salon, I do beleive to its
truthness), Frenchwomen have and use many many different products for skincare and bodycare.......
Makeup is minimal - they wear little to no foundation, little to no blush, mascara, eye liner (they like
light to dark grey liners- ex: light gray, slate grey (medium), charcoal (dark) grey), little eyeshadow,
lipgloss and/or neutral colored lipsticks and/or red lipsticks (light to bright reds including pinkish reds,
brown reds, pinkish brownish reds). Keep everything looking natural even with makeup on..... never
overdone. They wear their nails in a squarish shape..... Ageing eyes look great in grey, brown
and plum/raisin eyeliners.
Lips - Dehydrated lips that are dry or flaky automatically look thinner and more wrinkled so wear your
lipsticks, lip balms or lip gloss all the time, hydrate, hydrate and hydrate some more
Did you know that new wrinkles can appear in a matter of months, or even weeks, during times of
stress. Stress slows down new collagen production and slows cell turnover and increases dryness which
makes wrinkles all the more noticeable. What can be done? Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin A,
Green Tea either cream or serum form or adding a collagen booster or peptides to your skin care
routine will help boost and repair..... The good news is , these wrinkles may come on suddenly, but
usually they can also be remidied just as fast.
Moisturising your skin daily is so important, it helps your skin repair itself and help against future damage
all while preventing premature ageing..... Tip for the winter instead of changing your moisturiser you may
add/incorporate a serum/vitamin concentrate instead ....
Daily Cleansing helps to minimize pores. When oil and dirt accumulate, your pores expand to accomodate,
cleansers and toners dissolve and clears away dead cells, oil and debris that can lead to clogging and enlarged
pores. Cleanse skin for 60 seconds.
Facial Oils, such as Rosagraf Pomegranate are so beneficial to the skin, they put a shield on the skin to
protect.
Serums are excellent products to use during the day under your SPF if you don't want to wear a
cream under your full/broad spectrum SPF Sunblock/Sunscreen
Remember Gel sunscreens due to their texture (tend to sweat off) need to be reapplied
more often then lotions, something to think about. Full/Broad Spectrum Sunscreens 30+ should be used
daily if you are going to be in the sun for more than 20 minutes at a time. Otherwise your Basic Moisturiser
or Moisturiser with added filters used daily are fine. If you don't go outside at all you don't need them. If
you are using a moisturizer/serum and a separate sunscreen, the moisturizer should go on first, then
sunscreen, then makeup. If you are also using a topical medication, that should be applied before
everything else, then the rest of the layering process is repeated.
Retinol is a powerful ingredient in skincare THAT has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of
fine lines and wrinkles when used long term, they should be used at night other powerful ingredients include
Vitamin C, Peptides, Plant Stem Cells, Ceramides and AHA (alpha hydroxy acids)
Eyes, don't ignore your eyes - the thinnest skin on the body that needs the most care! Be consistent in
applying your lotions and creams to reduce early wrinkling and crepiness.
Important ingredients to look for in an eye product are Vitamin A, Peptides, Zinc and C
Skin tone, did you know that uneven skin tone will make you look older. it is ageing. Lightening products will
help repair this problem and to prevent or maintain results a good skin care regimen is important along with
the use of Sun Protection products when necessary/needed.
Peptides and/or Ceramides, Plant Stem Cells are a good alternative for those who are sensitive to retinol
products. Both boost collagen, repair/heal and brighten - lighten the skin. Copper, Matrixyl and Argireline
are among the most powerful tpes of peptides for increasing collagen production and help speed up
healing of skin cells damage. Peptides are beneficial to all skin types.
Lipbalm - Go green - Be safe - Look for products containing beeswax in lieu of petroleum
