How does DOUBLE CLEANSING keep your summer face the freshest?

 Whether you're in a rush, on the go, post-workout or at home....a quick cleanse with Micellar Water is great on its own or as a double cleansing agent!



Who is Double Cleansing perfect for?

  • Women who are exposed to more impurities (chemicals at work such at a salon, humid work environments such as kitchens,....)
  • Women who struggle to remove all makeup at night
  • When there is not option to rinse such as while traveling or camping
  • Women who don't wear makeup and are looking for a mid day fresh face.
Double Cleanse for ULTRACLEAN skin!
     For those heavy makeup days, Micellar Water paired with a favorite cleanser creates a customized double cleanse.  Use Micellar Water first to gently break down face makeup, oil and other daily debris.  Then follow with a skin type-specific cleanser to target individual needs and rinse skin clean.  Perfect for use after a day when you are wearing full-coverage makeup or for someone who want that ultraclean skin.  Avoid the eye area.  It does not replace eye makeup remover.

Choc-onut Balls...PCOS friendly recipe

 Like all food choices, snacking can either help or hinder your PCOS.  I found this recipe in Kim Campbell's program "30 Day Challenge."  Follow her on Instagram for more recipe ideas: @smartpcoschoices.

To get skincare help with your PCOS, check out my Repair Adult Hormonal Acne in 20 minutes per week: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1164076597262404

Ingredients:

12 oz mixed almonds

4 oz butter

3.5 oz shredded coconut

1/3 cup of almond butter

1/2 cup of cacao powder

2 Tbsp chia seeds

1-2 Tbsp rice malt syrup

1 tsp of vanilla

1 tsp of cinnamon

1/4 tsp of seal salt.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Chop the nuts into a crumbly mixture in a food processor.  In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped nuts with all the other ingredients except the chia seeds and only half of the shredded coconut.

Combine making sure to mix the coconut oil and butter right through the dry ingredients.  The balls will hold together better if you mix well at this stage.  Add in the chia seeds to help bulk up the mixture.

Take small amounds of the mixture in your hands, and roll into balls.  Roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut and place on the baking sheet.

Refrigerate for at least two hours to set.

Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks.

Why is a daily skincare system important to healthy skin?

What's the deal with skincare?

Does skincare actually make a difference?

Facts: Target Toning wrinkles around the eyes or mouth is not effective when used in isolation.  Just like in the gym, target toning the backs of your arms in isolation of cardio and full body toning is completely ineffective (says the ME who has been a certified fitness instructor and trainer since 2001).  

I started out with a simple treatment plan that I did in an esthetician's office 3 times a year....but I really didn't see results until I started washing my face....lol!  I did it backwards.

A facemask will not cure acne if you are still going to bed at night with makeup and oil on your skin!

1.  Why is a comprehensive system so important?

  • Many problems can be solved by starting a good system.  I've talked to lots of women over the past 4 years about skincare issues.  They are quick to ask "How do I fix......", but when I ask them "Well, what are you using now?"  The answer I get is "Really nothing particular."  Many times we can reduce problems like Adult Acne, Scars, Dark Spots, Fine Lines, dull skin just from started a high quality system designed for that issue in particular.  Once we reduce it, then we can look at supplements to really fix it!
  • Before starting a specialized supplement....you need to get your Ph levels in balance!  Control the oil or the lack of oil and get your skin into balance before targeting an issue with a supplement.
  • Daily skincare is the foundation of healthy skin that is going to delay signs of aging and signs of sun damage.
2.  What is included in a comprehensive system?
  • All Dermatologists reports that I have read all agree on this:  A cleanser and a moisturizer.  Those to elements are the base of a good system.  Better systems will include a Day moisturizer with SPF, a Night moisturizer, and separate moisturizer for the eye area.  But they all include a cleanser and a way to stay hydrated to control excess oil.
3.  What to avoid?
  • Chemical Warfare:  Using products from multiple lines creates chemical warfare on your skin.  You could be skipping a key ingredient or getting too much of another ingredient.  Your skin is not going to know which way it's going...LOL!
  • Not all products are created equally.  So....now is not the time to save money!  Your skin is your largest organ, and you pay for what you get.  So...I'll leave that thought right there.
  • Laziness.  Don't invest in a comprehensive system that you know WILL work, and then get too lazy to use it.  You are better than that!
In summary, if you are not happy with your skin, you should START with a comprehensive system will the key elements of a cleanser and a moisturizer that is all within the same high quality line.  

Begin a new habit that will change the way you look and feel about yourself.  

For a limited time (June 2021), I have $30 off vouchers for the skin care system I use and $20 vouchers off a different skincare system.  Reach out to me to decide which system is best for you and to claim a voucher.
