Fresh Ideas
June 2010

Healthy green teas.
Green tea provides the richest health benefits of all teas.  It is the most potent, retaining more vitamins and minerals than other teas.  Polyphenols, vitamin E, vitamin C, fluoride, guercetin, tannins, and volatile oils work together as strong antioxidants to help the body's health to ward off carcinogenic mutations, is strong in anti-aging properties and reduces free radical damage.  Drink 3 to 4 cups a day!
 
Shrink pores?
No! But clogged pores get big and dilated.Keep them debris-free and they appear small.  Use deep pore cleaners or scrubs 2-3 times a week!
 
Don't Stress! 
It makes your facial muscles contract, so skin has a temporarily drawn look.  Blood vessels constrict so your complexion is paler, less vibrant and just blah. Skin gets more sensitive and dry.Go for a walk, see a movie or read a good book!
 
Don't Touch.
Touching your face too often can cause breakouts.  The more you touch your face the more bacteria you rub in. The more you pick the more the infection spreads.
 
The best fashion accessory.  Perfect brows!
Like a spectacular handbag they refine your look.  Your eyes look bigger, nose narrower and the forehead higher.  Go to a professional!
 
The great cover up... are masks necessary?
Skin masks can tighten, tone, clarify, hydrate, refine, unclog, brighten, soften and soothe. Any more questions?
 
Men - Out the ingrown hairs.
Bumps result when the hair is cut too close to the surface of the skin which allows the hair to grow out and tuck itself under the skin causing infection and inflammation.  To avoid razor bumps shave in one direction and do not pull facial skin to get a closer shave. Use a salicylic acid based formula to fight outbreak of infection.
 
The Good Earth. 
True mineral makeup contains an assortment of finely milled minerals that provide luminous coverage, sun protection and anti-inflammatory properties that help keep the skin calm and protected.  For added skin-soothing benefits nutritious seaweed extracts, botanicals and antioxidant vitamins can sometimes be added.  They feel weightless on the skin, remain creaseless, appear luminous and feel silky, are non-irritating to even sensitive skins and are free of chemical preservatives, fragrances and artificial dyes.
