Going 'All Natural' with Neutrogena

 

More and more brands are paving the way to becoming 'All Natural' and Neutrogena is one of them. I recently received an AMAZING package from Neutrogena and Bliss.com . Every girls' dream? A box full of all natural skincare products by Neutrogena along with a few other eco friendly goodies. 

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Neutrogena products. Since I was a young girl, I have been a fan of this product line. Quality yet affordable! 

The first product I tried? Neutrogena naturals multi-vitamin nourishing moisturizer. Not only is this moisturizer full of vitamins B, C, E and anti-oxidant omega bionutrients (say that 3 times fast) but it also won't clog pores. This moisturizer left my skin feeling silky smooth, hydrated and had a lovely fragrance (thanks to the unbelievable ingredients). I've caught some sun recently thanks to the soccer field and saw a noticeable difference when using this product. It helped reduce the rough look from the sun and helped give me a more glowing complexion.

Next on my list to check out was Neutrogena naturals fresh cleansing+makeup remover. I have a confession.....I am the world's worst about not completely removing my makeup everytime.  Shame on me!  This removes makeup all while cleansing your skin. This cleanser contains nutrients from the Peruvian Tara Seed which softens skin and easily rinses off.

I have an obsession with night creams and definitely have my favorites. Neutrogena naturals multi-vitamin nourishing night cream can now be added to that list. It is no different than the other products in this collection, providing essential nutrients to your skin. This cream has a clean feel and doesn't seem to clog pores. There's nothing worse than going to bed with what feels like a heavy face. Instead your skin is screaming "I can breathe!" . 

Finally, Neutrogena did not disappoint and included a lip balm in their naturals collection. This is a MUST HAVE for any time of year. Neutrogena's lip balm protects with essential moisture. The harsh sun in the summer and the cold winds in the winter can be damaging to those lovely lips of yours. This lip balm soothes lips by using ingredients from sources such as beehives, shea tree, cocoa seed, sesame seed among many more! And it's 100% naturally derived! 

I am a working mom and constantly on the go. Little things such as lip balm and moisturizer can go such a long way when caring for your skin. You should always make time! Tid bit? I work from home and spend tons of time at the soccer field with my little ones......I make sure I wear moisturizer and sun screen but I save the makeup for business meetings, events and dinner out with my honey. Let your skin breathe and go natural! 

NEUTROGENA® Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer is a daily lotion that replenishes essential skin nutrients while providing continuous moisture throughout the day for healthier, younger-looking skin.  It contains no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates.

NEUTROGENA® Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream replenishes essential skin nutrients and is fortified with vitamins B, C, E and anti-oxidant omega bionutrients. This nourishing cream is clinically proven to boost skin’s defense against dullness and roughness, leaving it  naturally radiant, healthier and younger looking today and in the future.  It contains no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates.

(FEATURE) Ageless Remedies-Southpark

I recently had the opportunity to check out Ageless Remedies-Southpark. I highly recommend this fabulous med-spa. Continue reading to learn more about Ageless Remedies-Southpark from my interview with Elaine Greenberg, one of the masterminds behind this gem. 

 

What sparked your interest in opening Ageless Remedies-Southpark?I have always been aware that “You feel better when you know you look good.” When my husband retired, it opened the door for us to start a business to help people do that – look their best. Self-esteem often depends on self-image. We love helping people look their best and making them happy.

You pride yourself in carrying only the best in skincare solutions. What skincare line do you highly recommend for routine care? Everyone needs a skincare regimen that includes these essentials: an anti-oxidant (e.g., Vitamin C), a retinol (for skin renewal), and a full-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30.

We established Ageless Remedies SouthPark with an apothecary concept so we don’t endorse only one line.  Instead, we base our recommendations on the ingredients necessary to achieve healthy skin, individualized for every client.  Besides the above fundamentals, some of our cosmeceuticals contain growth factors, built-in moisturizers, and lightening agents for brown/age/sun spots. All the products we carry achieve real results, especially the medical grade products. They are state-of-the art and are proven to penetrate below the skin’s surface.

Some women can be intimidated by technology  such as botox and even laser hair removal. What do you have to  say to those who are curious but still uncertain about going through with one of those procedures? I certainly understand being overwhelmed by these procedures. It’s a new world – and there’s a great deal of misinformation all too available. In the end, it comes down to trust. Finding people with whom you feel comfortable, to whom you can trust your skin, is the key. I encourage everyone to choose carefully and not commit to anything until he or she spends some time talking with the potential aesthetician or physician.

 Does Ageless Remedies-Southpark offer consultations before services are scheduled?  Of course! In fact, no one is treated at Ageless Remedies SouthPark without first completing a medical H+P (History and Physical) and having a complimentary consultation to discuss her concerns and to learn how we can help.

You have returning customers even from other states which means they must be pretty loyal. What sets you apart from the other med spas?  Thank you for asking! I know it’s easy to say “customer service” but we actually walk the talk. Everything we suggest is customized for each individual. We are a genuine medical spa with a physician who is always available. Moreover, our staff is updated weekly on the latest developments in the field – products, equipment, techniques. We all take great pride in being at the forefront in aesthetics.

What is your personal favorite service that you offer? Anything that you see as a MUST-HAVE? As we age, our skin loses the ability to renew itself as it did when we were 20 years old. Some form of regular, professional exfoliation keeps skin healthy, vibrant, and young.  I was addicted to chemical peels but now the new HydraFacial has won me over! And, at 65, I absolutely depend on Botox, fillers, and fractional laser skin rejuvenation. I don’t think I could give up any of it!

How do you define beauty? What a great question! For me, someone is beautiful when I sense, I truly see, an inner glow of goodness. Some people radiate a kind, generous spirit.

Any final words? Most people want to look their best but don’t know about what is now possible -- fabulous technological advances that are non-surgical and involve little or no down-time. These products and treatments literally never existed before. “Ageless Elaine” has a mission: to educate about how to achieve healthy, radiant young-looking skin based on the most updated information:www.AgelessRemediesSouthPark.com/blog and our website has a great deal of basic information, too: www.AgelessRemediesSouthPark.com

Get Your Skin Ready for Summer With Epsom Salt (Guest Post)

GET YOUR SKIN READY FOR SUMMER WITH EPSOM SALT

(Article Provided By the Epsom Salt Council)

Experts Say Epsom Salt is Perfect for Manicures, Pedicures and Relaxing Soaks That Will Brighten Your Skin

June 22, 2010 - As the summer heats up, several beauty experts suggest using Epsom salt to get your feet ready for sandals season, to brighten your skin and to lighten your stress.

"It's one of the least expensive beauty products on the market," says Marsha Bialo, an award-winning celebrity manicurist who has worked with the nation's top photographers and on advertising campaigns for clients such as Bebe, Nordstrom, Estee Lauder, Jessica Simpson and Victoria Secret. "It doesn't matter if you're a celebrity, or an average person on a budget. Epsom salt has a multitude of uses."

Bialo recommends bi-weekly pedicures to ease aches and pains, reduce swelling and disinfect blisters or lesions. Her step-by-step suggestions: give your feet a comfortable place to rest by folding a bath towel and positioning it at the bottom of a bucket. Mix half a cup of Epsom salt with some warm, soapy water to soften skin and calluses and dry out the bacteria from blisters. Next, remove old polish with a cotton pad soaked with nail polish remover, cut nails straight across with clippers then file them square to remove sharp edges. Soak for five minutes, dip a file into the water and use it to smooth your heels, the balls of your feet and the outer edges of your pinkie toes. Afterward, Bialo suggests Calcium Gel Fortifier or Ridge Filling Base Coat by China Glaze followed by a bright, summery coat of polish, and then finish with Seche Vite top coat for a lasting shine.

At the Spa at the Intercontinental San Francisco, you can pamper yourself with an ice cream manicure or pedicure that's made from Epsom salt, a blend of six oils, minerals and fragrances. The treatments are crafted to smell like ice cream - either chocolate, vanilla or pomegranate - and Spa Director Ryan O'Connor says it helps soothe muscles, reduce stress and improve your skin.

"It removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, so your feet and hands look rejuvenated, your skin is going to be more supple and it will look brighter," O'Connor says. "Relaxing your hands and feet is one of the best things people can do for themselves."

O'Connor says he also recommends people soak in Epsom salt and essential oils at home, once a week for 20 minutes, as a way to detox and reduce tension in the spine and throughout the body.

"It actually knocks me out, it's so relaxing," O'Connor said.

Here are some other tips for using Epsom salt to create an at-home spa:

* GLOWING SKIN EXFOLIATING TREATMENT: Mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub away dry skin patches.

* MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL: Mix 1/2 TSP of Epsom Salt into cleansing cream for a deep-pore cleansing. Massage on skin. Rinse with cool water. Pat dry.

* HOMEMADE BATH CRYSTALS: Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance to create a custom bath crystal. Add a few drops of food coloring or 1/2 TSP of glycerin if you like. Store in an air-tight container.

About Epsom salt

Epsom salt - actually magnesium sulfate - is one of the most versatile household products, with uses ranging from creating at-home spa treatments to soothing achy muscles to helping start or improve gardens. It's been used therapeutically for hundreds of years, and it's gaining a new generation of fans looking for a safe, economical alternative in a sea of expensive, over-the-counter remedies. Epsom salt is easy to use, easy to find in your local pharmacy or grocery store and it costs about the same per use as a cup of coffee.

Sunbow: Sunscreen Designed with Kids in Mind

Hello Summer!

There is no doubt that summer has arrived when I saw the temperature was 102 degrees yesterday! 

I'm constantly reviewing products and showing you my latest and greatest finds but what about protecting our children's skin? That's even more so important, especially if you have a toddler like I do. I have found a GREAT product that works, is pediatrician recommended AND naturally formulated! 

I recently used the Sunbow Sunscreen Stick on my daughter (who is 17 months old) and I absolutely fell in love with this product.It fit perfectly in my pocket! It's a great travel size. The stick wasn't messy and was easy to apply.It applied with a shade of pink which disappeared once I rubbed it in.

Finally (and most importantly) it WORKED! We stayed in the sun for quite some time and she has fair skin which tends to worry me. She didn't burn the slightest bit.....her cheeks weren't even rosy the next day. 

The Sunbow line is also affordable ranging in prices from $7.99-$12.99 ! 

I can guarantee the Sunbow Sunscreen Stick will become a staple in our home and in her bag at preschool.
