DIY Facial Steps

While we also have time for the  best diet pill , we sometimes get so caught up with things and don’t pay very much attention to our skin.  I am definitely guilty about it.  So when I found this on a bio skin care online – i thought i should share this with everyone.

  • Step 1: Cleanse

    Directions

    Pump a small amount (pea-sized) of Moisturizing Cleanser onto your palm. Together with a bit of water, work up a lather. Apply to moistened face and gently massage using upward and outward circular motions, lightly passing over the eyelids and lashes. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water.

    Purpose

    Cleansing is the most important step in the daily skin care regime. Yet not many people do a thorough job at cleansing. The face should be thoroughly cleansed at least twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening. Cleansing removes perspiration and excess sebum deposited during the night while cleansing in the evening removes make-up and impurities accumulated during the day.

  • Step 2 Treatment (according to specific need)

    Directions

    Treatment is necessary depending on individual needs. For example, a person with bad acne scarring on the face may include the cell repair essence and cell metabolism essence here. On the other hand, someone with skin pigmentation might want to use the cell luminous essence to enhance the overall results of his/her skin care regime.

    Purpose

    Those with problems such as acne, scarring, pigmentation, dry, ageing and sensitive skin, may use specific products from the Treatment series and/or Intensive Treatment series. These products are formulated to combat certain targeted problem areas.

  • Step 3 Hydrate

    Directions

    Apply a small amount of Hydrating Tonic directly on dry, cleansed face, tapping the face gently in an upward and outward manner.

    Purpose

    The Hydrating Tonic supplies moisture to the basal cells of the skin. Use in the mornings and evenings after cleansing your face.

  • Step 4 Eye Care

    Directions

    Using the ring finger, gently pat a small amount of Active Eye Gel around the contours of the eyes in the mornings and evenings.

    Purpose

    It is extremely important to nourish and stimulate blood circulation around the eyes. It will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as well as puffiness and signs of fatigue. Regular eye care will relax the tissue around the eyes, preventing eye bags and dark rings from appearing.

  • Step 5 Nourish

    Directions

    Apply a small amount of Transomes Energizer Cream all over the face and neck in the mornings. Massage the cream gently into the skin using upward and outward strokes to allow for better absorption.

    Purpose

    Nourishing will help regenerate cellular activity and restore the skin’s smoothness and radiance.

  • Step 6 Protect

    Directions

    Apply a thin layer of Daily Defence Cream onto the face and neck in the mornings.

    Purpose

    Protecting the skin is an important step especially in extreme sunny and humid conditions. A good cream will prevent free radical damage from sunlight exposure, fights photo ageing and protect the skin against environmental pollutants such as dirt and prevents blemishes from forming.

  • Step 7 Repair

    Directions

    Apply a thin layer of Transomes Repair Cream or Phyto Balancing Repair Cream onto the face and neck in the evenings.

    Purpose

    Repairing the skin during the night is to restore the skin’s elasticity and smoothness.
    Those with problems such as acne, scarring, pigmentation, dry, ageing and sensitive skin, may use specific products formulated to suit their specific needs from the Treatment series and/or Intensive Treatment series.

August 10th, 2009To Scrub Or Not To Scrub

“Unforgivingly harsh” is the reason. Facial scrubs in the market usually contain beads or coarse granules to exfoliate the skin, revealing a new layer. However, they are essentially ripping the skin and may cause the skin to react adversely with redness, coarseness, thinning and even premature ageing overtime.

This was what i read in one of Singapore’s bio skin care company that offers not only facial services.. but skin care products.   But all my life .. i’ve been scrubbing my face.. so what gives..??  I’m gonna have to read more about it.. before i decide.

August 8th, 2009Organic Facial

I had the best facial in 10 years .. despite the fact that i had a little panic attack .. after the scubbing of my face.  Maybe, i wasn’t too used to having such a long deep scrubbing.  But having said all that.. it turned out pretty well.. plus it’s darn cheap..!!!!   Why..?? because the esthetician is retired.. and she is only doing this for pocket money.. and you should see her lovely houses, the area rugs were everywhere.

She uses all the organic stuff.. like the above.  Created for all skin types, including blemished, oily, & combination types, this creamy organic facial cleanser contains activated charcoal for a deep, detoxifying cleanse, anti-oxidant rich rooibos tea and white tea extract, powerhouse hydrator Sodium Hyaluronate, and added vitamins and minerals for added skin food.

August 6th, 2009Beanie For Adults

While looking for some  digital camcorders on the internet, i found this beanie for adults on Etsy.  A wee bit more expensive than what i wanna pay for it.. but it is certainly lovely.  Hand crochet of course, since they are from Etsy, it has a little visor and a big flower – daisy on the side.  Made of 100% cotton yarn -  a great thing to have for the fall, when it starts to turn cold. I didn’t want a toque to keep me warm.. but something like this beanie would certainly be stylish and fashionable and it will keep my head warm.   At $39.00 – one can find it for sale on Etsy – pdxbeanies.

Women from all over the world wonder how one can take care of one’s face at home without having to resort to go for a facial every 3 weeks.  Facials are important .. but so is your weekly routine to help rejuvenate your skin.  If you want a healthy and less wrinkly face, spending a few minutes just for yourself is important.  Put away those netbooks, put on some nice music . .and light up those aromatherapy candle and relax and do that special massage as shown above.  You will find that by doing this weekly .. it can really smooth out wrinkles.  Try it yourself – this awesome video was found on youtube.
