Have I found a Super Cream, with all the power aspects we need in a moisturiser. This amazing cream from Payot gets me many compliments particularly how old I am. And thankfully it is alot younger than what I am.

PAYOT AOX™Crème combats oxidation on all fronts in order to control the formation of free radicals and provide the cells with sufficient energy to prevent and repair the damage caused. Wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed. The complexion is radiant and the skin seems firmer and hydrated. The face appears replenished and visibly younger.

This is a complete rejuvenative product. With high performance plant extracts and powerful antioxdent ingredients. In fact when studies have been conducted on mature and ageing skin this product showed fantastic and impressive results. 96% of woman recognized a firmness in their skin as well as a decrease in the depth of wrinkles. Impressed yes well I was.
This 100% cellular protection product is used morning and night for visible difference.
This cream can be used on all skin types but would not use on acne, though mild oil is fine.
This can be used all over face, neck and eyes.

 HONEY & CINNAMON CURE - Worth READING...Tip of the Day                       
   
   
       
  Worth reading----as we know Honey is a good  medicine for all sorts 
 of  ailments.
 




                             Cinnamon and Honey ~ 

                                             Bet the drug 
   companies won't like this one getting around. ~ Facts  on Honey and 
  Cinnamon: It is found  that a mixture of honey and cinnamon  cures 
  most diseases. Honey is produced  in most of the countries of the 
  world.  Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban"  (very 
  effective) medicine or all kinds  of  diseases.

   effects for any kind of  diseases.

                             Today's science says that even though

  not harm diabetic  patients.. Weekly World News, a magazine  in 
  Canada , in its issue dated 17  January, 1995 has given the

  as researched by western  scientists:

  apply on bread, instead of  jelly and jam, and eat it regularly  for 
  breakfast. It reduces the  cholesterol in the arteries and saves  the 
  patient from heart attack Also,  those who have already had an

Have a great day these old fashion remedies may actually work as none hospitals in sydney use honey on wounds.

Winter skin

Winter skin

We all like the cooler weather but when the temperature becomes cold we tend to turn up the heating, which irritates a lot of people’s skins.

Does your skin have any of the following – dehydration, tightness, redness, irritation, fine lines, or just plain dry- then winter will not be helping.

This is when we have to do a little bit more to protect our skin. Not only on our face, body, hands and feet can also be affected.

Remember this is the time to make sure your fluid level is still high lots of water, when it is cooler most of us forget to drink and rehydrate our body’s and this will show in our skins. Consider this that the skin is the largest organ of your body so remember that water is a vital element in providing you with a better looking skin.

Take a look at your moisturizer – did you buy it is summer? You may need to start using a slightly richer textured cream to give more protection from the environment.

My favorite is to add a hydrating serum two of the best on the market are Payot  Hydrofluide and Dermalogica Hydrating Booster both add a huge hydrating level to the skin without adding oil. This will make sure that your skin stays moist and hydrated but does not clog your skin.

This is a great time to also look at the type of exfoliation you are using and how often. We all end up with a lot of dead cells in winter so a gentle exfoliant is important to improve texture and product absorption for more rapid results. Two exciting winter exfoliants are Payots Gommage Fondant a excellent exfoliant for dry and sensitive skin and the new Thermafoliant by Dermalogica with a slightly warming texture this is a beautiful treatment for the cooler months.

Make sure once you have exfoliate that you restore balance by applying a soothing hydrating mask, two beautiful masks that will do the trick are Payot Hydrating Masque and Dermalogica Multi Vitamin Power recovery mask.

Most people will find that the skin on the body also gets effected so now is the time to slather that beautiful body cream after showering or bathing and making sure that you apply your hand cream after washing up so that dry dehydrated lines do not show on the back of your hands that show ageing.

Now is the time to get out exercise by doing a bit of walking, enjoy a nice cab sav or relaxing bath or both.

Bridal Tips for 2009

 

www.skincare4you.com.au   

                        Our top tips to help you organise and prepare for your special wedding day.

6 months prior to the big day organise makeup and hairdresser,by booking a trial for your wedding day. To make life easier for The Makeup Artist and Hairdresser go through magazines for looks that are exactly to your liking, save the pages for your trials and file away for your wedding day, makeup and hair looks

1. Start regular facials-we would recommend at least 6 months prior book your favourite salon every month for a deep cleanse, exfoliation, massage and mask. This will help with skin texture, blackheads, pimples and relaxation, and of course any fine lines.
2. Book a spray tan and check the colour the therapist is using, take the name of therapist and if you like the spray tan, book the same girl if available 1 day prior to the special day. You can top up with Napoleon Summer Sun Self Tanning Spray or the Summer Lovers Self Tan Mousse both give a great natural colour.
3. Start exfoliation 1 x week over your whole body, this will help with skin texture, moving lymph and toxins, and allow absorption of body moisturising creams more easily. Exfoliate and mask your face weekly to start improving facial texture, facial fine lines, improve deep cleansing of open pores, pimples and blackheads.
4. Ensure waxing and facial, manicure and pedicures, spray tan are all booked 2 months prior to your wedding, Book facial 3 days before, 2 days before manicure and pedicure, 1 days before wedding book spray tan, you dont want it coming off.
   
5. Start regular exercise and drink loads of water, to cleanse system up your vitamins, eat regularly and Learn deep breathing exercises to ease any stress leading up to your big day.
6. When your big day is close organise with your mother in law or old friend to carry your emergency Touch up Kit - should contain, lip gloss, touch up powder, lip stick, breath freshner, hair spray and hair brush, perfume - make a list of two extra things you may need.
7. Remember to take with you a picture of a makeup that best describes the look you are after for your wedding makeup. This will allow your makeup artist to make sure that your makeup is exactly how you want it. Hopefully it is the same picture that you use when you first had your trial makeup.
8. 
   
   Use waterproof mascara on the big day, most brides will shed a tear or two - remember to pack a waterproof mascara remover so you dont end up the morning after with Panda eyes.
   

9.       Use a large Blush brush dusted with powder to set foundation press powder into skin        then gently buff downwards - so any fine hairs on the face wont attract sunlight.For a long    lasting lipstick for the special day - prepare the lips making sure that they are totally dry, no    moisturiser, gel or lip gloss. Nothing - then get a lip pencil very close to your natural colour cover the whole lip area, and draw the lips, set with a little dusting of powder, then fill in your lips with a natural shade, antique warm coffee, nude and natural look is in. And then using a little gloss dab in the middle of the top and bottom lip

   

                         10.Use a lip seal if available.

                         11.  Make sure your lips are dry before kissing, sipping drinks etc.

Finally - Relax-Every Bride should enjoy her day. This day goes so fast and hopefully it will bring you long and happy memories.
