MASKS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR SKINCARE RITUAL

Masques are an important part of your weekly skincare routine. Depending on the mask and your skin type, masques should be done 1 to 3 times per week to maintain your skin in between facial treatments. Masking can help you to attain more dramatic results for your skin. They are corrective and can instantly help revive dull looking skin.

Its hard to find one masque that does everything your skin needs. It is normal to have two masques you can alternate or use one after the other. Some masques can even be mixed together. If it is only in your budget to have one then pick one that is for your main skin concerns. If you are going for two masks it all depends on your skins concerns, but in general it is good to have a mask that hydrates and is infused with antioxidants for anti-aging benefits. A second mask such as helping with breakouts, pore minimizing, or detoxifying the skin.

Below are some Eminence favorites that are great for summer.

Revitalize and brighten your complexion with our Lime Stimulating Masque. Improves complexion and minimizes blemishes.

Eminence Organic's Lactic Acid Skin Care Trick Will Make Your Bamboo Firming Fluid Work Even Better

If you love our award winning Eminence Organics Bamboo Firming Fluid - and who doesn’t? - you need this essential trick for making it work even better: Before applying Bamboo Firming Fluid, prep with a Lactic acid skincare product, like our new Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate. These two products go together like milk and honey, and layering them together gives your skin the extra boost it needs for a youthful and luminous look.

1. APPLY EMINENCE ORGANICS MANGOSTEEN DAILY RESURFACING CONCENTRATE 

This lightweight cream concentrate contains our Lactic Acid Complex which gently resurfaces skin and minimizes pores. By removing dead skin cells, this concentrate clears away the buildup which prevents absorption, and it prepares the skin for the full benefits of Bamboo Firming Fluid. On application, Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate absorbs completely and leaves a silky, smooth finish.

2. LAYER ON EMINENCE ORGANICS BAMBOO FIRMING FLUID

Bamboo Firming Fluid is a hydrating gel concentrate that tightens the look of skin with the proprietary ingredient, Natural Retinol Alternative. Enriched with coconut, this product delivers a long-lasting boost of hydration and improves the appearance of firmness and wrinkles. With your complexion prepped by Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate, it will drink in all the hydrating benefits of Bamboo Firming Fluid and feel firmer, tighter and more elastic.

LAYER YOUR EYE CARE PRODUCTS FOR ANTI-AGING RESULTS

The eyes are not only the windows to your soul but the windows that reveal your age! The delicate skin around the eyes ages quicker than the rest of the skin on our face. With time our eyes start to look more tired, and you will start to notice a little sagging, and some lines. Puffiness and dark circles make the already thinning skin around the eyes, look even more tired. The processes starts off gradually, until one day you wake up and look in the mirror to your horror and surprise, you've AGED!

Thanks to the advances in technology and with products like Eminence Organic skincare, there are things you can use to turn back the years, and give your eyes that rejuvenated look it once had. 

Using one eye cream all the time is not going to solve all the issues that your eye area is having, although its better than not using anything at all. Layering different serums around the eyes is the best way to deal with multiple issues around the eyes. Different ingredients work in different ways to achieve results. So don't limit your self to one product. Layering also helps customize to specific problems around the eyes. Serums, having smaller molecules can penetrate deeper into the skin for better correctional work. Your eye creams will work those upper layers of skin and help keep the area moisturized. The combination of Eye Serums and Creams can offer better and more dramatic results.

These eye creams do work as I've witnessed the results myself. 

Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream instantly lifts and firms. It also helps to quickly reduce puffiness. It has some long term effects but its main job is more superficial, as its working right below the skin in order to get those instant firming results and reducing puffiness. It also will help with dark circles.

Neroli Eye Serum is your retinol alternative. Collagen boosting ingredients to prevent and reduce lines. It also firms and its rich ingredients gives some additional moisture to the eye area. 

Lavender Night Eye Cream is a rich night cream with stem cells that works on the deeper layers of skin, for those with deep lines, and crows feet. Because its working deeper into the skin, it is not instantly firming. This eye cream is best to keep for night using a different eye cream/serum for day that deals with other issues like dark circles, or for getting that instant firming effect most of us want during the day.

Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream is a new product with advance technology and its key ingredients- Red algae, Botanical Peptides, Botanical Hyaluronic acid really reduce lines, plumps and firms the eye area. It really moisturizes, reduces puffiness, and dark circles. I found that it has dramatically improved my upper eye area quickly due to its plumping effects and my eyes do not look as tired. It is a great all in one eye cream.

If you can only get one eye product, the Eminence's Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream should be your choice. But again, layering does create better, more dramatic results. Choose one serum to go underneath it, or several if its in your budget. The products last a long time, so in the long run you save money, get results, and avoid more costly procedures that don't have long term results that are good for your skin.

EXFOLIATE THE YEARS AWAY!

Whats the secret to smooth and glowing skin.... exfoliation! Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of our skin leaving it dull and making it harder for products to penetrate into the skin. Dead skin cells can build up and get trapped in the pores causing congestion and flakiness. When our skin is dull and dry, lines become more pronounced, making you look older, and your skin will look unhealthy. So pull out that exfoliant a few times a week and watch how instantly your skin becomes smooth and more youthful!

Be aware that not all exfoliators are good for your skin. Some can cause irritation, dryness and dilate capillaries, leaving you red. It all comes down to formulation. Its not necessary to use harsh exfoliators to achieve results on your skin. In fact most methods of exfoliation that can be harsh, damaging the skin in order to get a result, tend to cause more problems long term than they are worth for the short term smoothing effects. Its best to stick to milder exfoliation methods, with organic ingredients that put nutrients on your skin.

Not only will exfoliating with the right products instantly leave your skin smoother and brighten up your complexion; in the long run they will help to erase some years away, making you look more youthful. Who doesn't want that!

Yes its really that simple! Try it out and see for yourself!

Here are some of my favorite exfoliators that make a difference......

Stone Crop Fizzofoliant is a powder-to-foam exfoliant that employs microgreens, stone crop and rice flour with adzuki powder to infuse skin with a youthful looking glow

Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant contains Rice powder absorbs oil while lactic and salicylic acids remove dead skin cells. The strawberries and rhubarb infuse the skin with antioxidants leaving your complexion radiant!

Chamomile Exfoliating Peel -reveal a calm, balanced and more luminous complexion with this peel solution that is mild enough to use on sensitive skin two to three times a week. There is also a Firming Peel, Brightening Peel and Clearing Peel from the line. All achieve smoother skin gently.

Wash away impurities, remove surface debris and experience smooth skin like never before with this multi-action, exfoliating cleanser infused with exotic monoi. 

A good exfoliation to the skin several times a week, combined with getting monthly facials for a deeper exfoliation, will help you achieve smooth, glowing and healthy skin!

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUNSCREEN

Summer is here! A little sun can be good for us, but most of us over do it. Indulging in the sun for hours not only raises your risk of getting skin cancer, but also causes your skin to age faster! Here is what you need to know to prepare and protect your skin from the suns damaging rays.

What’s the difference between UVA and UVB rays? 
UVB are the rays that lead to sun damage and skin cancer. UVA rays accelerate aging, cause photo damage and can penetrate glass and cloud cover. Make sure that you choose a sunscreen that protects against both types of rays.

What SPF should I choose?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and measures how long your skin will be protected from UVB rays. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends an SPF of 30 or higher. SPF 30 is a good option, always reapplying through out the day. Higher SPFs can have chemicals in order to get that high number. Chemicals can be irritating to sensitive skins. Higher number doesn't always mean its best, it all comes down to choosing the right formulation, with quality ingredients. Zinc is a physical sun screen that some times is mixed with other sun protecting ingredients such as titanium dioxide. Zinc is natural and is a great choice, especially for sensitive skins. Make sure you choose a broad spectrum sunscreen which protects against both UVA/UVB rays.

How much sunscreen do I need to put on?
The Skincare Foundation recommends for the face and neck:  Use 1 teaspoon on each area.

For the body:  Use the equivalent of 1 - 1.5 shot glasses to cover the whole body with sunscreen.
Not only should you slather sunscreen on the main parts of your face and body but also these easily forgotten areas: the tops of ears, lips, back of the neck and the hands. Men with little to no hair should always be diligent in applying sunscreen to the entire head!

How do I choose the right sunscreen for my skin type? 
Here is a list of Eminence Organics sunscreens ideal for your skin - 

OILY SKIN and COMBINATION SKINS:
Vanilla Latte Tinted Moisturizer SPF 25 is a light formulation with aloe vera. It is a great alternative to makeup. If your skin is combination and tends to get some dryness, wear a hydrating serum underneath. A serum with hyaluronic acid is a great way to get extra hydration with out feeling heavy.

Red Currant Moisturizer SPF 32: wont clog your pores and has antioxidants for healthy skin.

UNEVEN SKIN TONES: Bright Skin Moisturizer SPF 32

ALL SKINS: Mineral Defense Powder with SPF 30; if you spritz Stone Crop toning mist on top to make it water proof. The powder comes tinted and can be a great substitute for makeup all the while protecting your skin. You will need to wear a moisturizer for your skin type underneath.

DRY SKINS:

Vanilla Tropical Sun Day Cream SPF 32: is one of the best sunscreens for the face because it’s a broad spectrum formulation which protects against both UVA / UVB rays and doubles up as a fantastic makeup primer. Perfect for keeping cosmetics in place on a hot summer day.

                TROPICAL VANILLA SPF 32

FOR THE BODY:

Tropical Vanilla Body SPF 32 :

Not only provides UVA/UVB protection but also takes you on a beautiful sensory journey with hints of vanilla and linden tea! Practical yet indulgent!

Brighten Up! Summer Time Skincare For Even Toned Skin

During Summer months when the sun is at it's strongest,its best to avoid deep Peel treatments and other aggressive methods to even out your skin tone and get rid of those dark spots.

Your Night Time Detox Ritual For Healthy And Youthful Skin!

Every day, we are confronted with air bourne particles that stress our complexions, causing dullness, dryness, congestion, and premature aging. These negative effects can be compounded when we step indoors making damaging pollution difficult to avoid. If you’re suffering from a lackluster complexion, it may be time to add a detox to your nightly routine.

Your skin doesn’t go to sleep when your head hits the pillow - in fact, the best time for your skin to repair and regenerate is while your sleeping.  Before tucking in, add a nightly mini detox ritual and wake up to healthier looking skin, and a dewy complexion!

Night Time Detox Ritual With Great Product Tips For A Simple And Effective Regime.

One of the most important steps you can do for your skin is to wash your face! It all starts with a good cleansing to clean off any dirt, pollution, makeup, sunscreens, and oil. A good cleaning is a must and preps the skin for the next steps in your detox routine. My absolute favorite cleanser is Eminence's Stone Crop Cleansing oil. It gently removes makeup and deeply cleans, for all skin types.

Eminence Stonecrop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant detoxifies your pores with deep cleaning action.  Exfoliating helps to deep clean pores and remove dead skin cells, that can make skin look dull and dry. Exfoliating will lighten and brighten the complexion. The Skin will look and feel smoother and your serums and moisturizers will penetrate into the skin easier, giving better results. Depending on the exfoliator, use 2 to 3 times a week. Some can be used every day depending on how it is formulated.

Apply a mask; Eminence's Lime Stimulating Mask has hot Hungarian paprika to stimulate and detoxify your skin. Its also great for helping with blemishes, and leaves the skin glowing. A mask should be a part of your night time routine 2 to 3 times a week.

Eminence's Lotus detoxifying over night treatment is lightweight and great for all skin types. This gel cream treatment renews the skin with the help of melt-in jojoba oil beads and nutrient-rich microgreens. This hydrating formula prevents water loss and protects against the look of wrinkles caused by environmental dryness and stresses. It can be used alone or layered with a serum underneath, or for drier skins, add a moisturizer on top.

Sip some herbal tea. Herbal teas, especially teas with rooibos, and roseship are full ofantioxidants, and chamomile or lavender to de-stress, for a good nights sleep.

Before going to bed drink a glass of water with lemon to cleanse and alkalize your body. Keep bottled water by your bedside to sip through out the night to stay hydrated.

Don't forget about eye cream. Your skin around the eyes needs some detoxing as well. The right eye cream can help alleviate dark circles, puffiness and bags. Ingredients like caffeine stimulate and help reduce water retention to alleviate eye bags.

Make sure to get enough sleep, at least 7 hours. Your products need time to work on your skin.  Your skin needs time to repair and heal its self in order to wake up with healthy and youthful looking skin!

PUFFY AND TIRED LOOKING EYES

If you look in the mirror in the morning and you’re the picture of exhaustion, the guilty culprit is usually your puffy and tired-looking eyes. Late nights and other contributors quickly take up residence under the eyes in the form of bags, sagging skin and wrinkles. Well, it’s time to find out how you can revive your peepers. Here are four of the worst causes for under eye wrinkles and tired eyes - and instant solutions for fixing them:

TOO MUCH SALT OR ALCOHOL
You may love your salt-rimmed margarita cocktails but they’re wrecking the condition of your skin. Twin villains salt and alcohol cause the body to retain water that leads to puffiness everywhere including under the eyes. Too much sodium in the diet is really bad for the eyes and skin in general. It not only causes puffy, tired eyes but can trigger breakouts.

LACK OF SLEEP
According to the Mayo Clinic insufficient sleep is one of the worst causes of under-eye bags. Not getting enough sleep dilates the blood vessels under your eyes, leading to swelling and dark circles. Tip: Switch off electronic devices in the bedroom and keep your bed a restful place for sleep. Where soft eye pads to block out light and prevent tugging or pressure against delicate skin. Lavender essential oil and diffusers are great way to promote relaxation.

AGING
Although inadequate sleep is usually avoidable, growing old is not. As we age, the tissues around the eyes start to weaken. The delicate skin in the eye area grows less elastic and begins to sag, and thin leading to more prominent eye bags and droopy, crepey skin. Its in important to always wear an eye serum and eye cream around the eye area for prevention and correction. Eye serums and creams can help stimulate collagen and promote firmer skin.

TOO MUCH SUGAR
Not only do you have to go easy on the saltshaker, it’s best to put away the sugar bowl, too. Sugar causes inflammation all over the body, including your complexion. Because the skin under the eyes tends to be thin, any inflammation or swelling is especially noticeable in this area. Sugar also is a big cause of wrinkles and sagging skin.

Now that you can confront the four big causes, we have an additional solution that tackles tired-looking eyes instantly: Eminence's new Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream. Featuring a cooling stainless steel rollerball applicator that massages around the eye, this innovative eye cream tightens the skin under the eyes naturally and within only two minutes. Enriched with an ice wine active and hibiscus, this eye cream visibly smooths wrinkles and de-puffs tired eyes.

For longer term results and prevention team the Hibiscus Ultra Eye Cream with Neroli Eye Serum- a retinol alternative and collagen builder also firms.

For mature skins and skins already showing some signs of aging, take things a step further. For maximum results add an additional layer of anti-aging benefits with Age Corrective Lavender eye cream containing stem cells or Wild plum eye cream for those with dark circles or that need extra moisture in the eye area.  Bearberry cream is a clinically proven wrinkle reducer. There are a lot of options so you can pick the right eye cream for your specific needs.
