3 Tips to Saving Tired Holiday Skin


The hustle and bustle of the holiday season impacts more than just our stress level. The skin can really suffer from the combination of irregular diets, cold and dry weather, and lack of sleep (holiday parties anyone?). Revive tired skin this season with these three fail-proof products that will bring the radiance back to your complexion.

Cranberry Enzyme Mask

All too often, the automatic reaction to dry, flaky skin is over-exfoliation. Not only can this further dry out the skin, it actually can cause even more long-term damage to the epidermis when practiced in excess. Polish harnesses the power of cranberry enzymes to gently eat away the dead skin cells and reveal a bright, youthful complexion.

Remedy Healing Balm

Infuse nutrients and moisture back into the skin with this rich, healing balm. Apply a thin layer underneath your makeup to enhance brilliance and tone or indulge the skin and the senses when used as a sleep mask and let the product do the work while you catch your Zs! Wake up to radiance and say goodbye to dull stressed skin no matter how many gatherings are on your agenda.

Refresh PM

An eye serum by design, but capable of so much more, Refresh PM is intensely-moisturizing proven to restore hydration and barrier health to the thin, delicate skin of both the eyes and lips. Formulated with liquid crystals, it delivers shine and nutrients to the epidermis resulting in a healthy glow and firmed fine lines.


Take small moments for you throughout the season to replenish nutrients and life back to your complexion! Shop more of our top-selling moisturizers here.

Beauty Hacks: Fall and Winter Survival Hacks







It's finally the end of makeup meltdown season. No more sweaty faces with foundation, mascara and eyeliner running amok, and no more lightweight moisturizers. It's time to bring in the big guns for fall and winter! This time of year brings dryer weather, which means dry skin, hair and nails, and cough, cough... the common cold. Lucky for you we have our favorite hacks to share with you to help you transition to the new season. 

Immerse Hack: Immerse is a secret multi-tasker. We love using the rich Emu Oil based product on our skin for an action packed dose of moisture but, we also love massaging it onto the ends of our hair, scalp, and nail beds.




Polish and Refresh PM: Can you say, LIP TREATMENT!!! Keep your lips plump and healthy this season. Lightly massage Polish onto dry, clean lips. Let it sit for 1 minute then wipe away with a warm wash cloth. Follow this by slathering Refresh PM on and around the lip area. We love this mini treatment before bed, you will wake up with healthy, smooth, plump lips. You can definitely say "I woke up like this."





Restore, Hydralift Firming Gel Mask and Baking Soda: Mix one pump of Restore, 1 tsp of Hydralift and 1 tsp of baking soda into a paste. Spread the paste on yellowing nails and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Wash away with warm water and gentle soap to lift summer nail polish stains and treat your cuticles to some major hydration!






Lip Dupe: Looking for the perfect dupe to the Reality Celeb's Lip Line (name rhymes with Tylie Kenner)? Line and fill in your lips with our Brown Eye Pencil, top with Aura Lip Gloss for a sexy, fall trend that's to die for!









Prime your Skin: This fall and winter is bound to bring on some dry, flaky skin. Mix one pump of Immerse with a wipe of our Age Defying Treatment Concealer for the perfect, skin blurring primer. You'll get flawless looking skin and all the moisture your little heart can handle!

Pigment Perfecting Facial!


We are so close to shorts, sun dresses, and flip flop weather we can hardly stand it! That means showing a bit more skin, which means you must be protected! We like to call summer SPF season (though you NEED to wear SPF daily… throughout the year). With summer comes the possibility for sun damage, dark spots and uneven skin. We have created the perfect lightening and brightening facial to reduce pigment problems and keep your skin even and balanced all summer long!



Step 1. Boil 2 cups of water. Once water is hot, pour in a heat safe bowl. Drape a towel over your head while leaning into the steam from the hot water. Steam your skin for 5 minutes to open your pores and prep them for your at-home treatment.

Step 2: Cleanse skin with Purify, gently cleanse in small circular motions pushing cleanser up towards the forehead, then rinse.

Step 3: Apply a quarter size amount of Polish to the skin.  Allow to sit for 5-7 minutes. Apply a warm towel to skin and without applying pressure, allow it to remain on skin until lukewarm in temperature. Gently lift towel and use to remove any excess.

Step 4: Apply 2 pumps of Rescue and a nickel size amount of Repair to the skin. Spritz Clear Plus+ on top and gently massage the product into the skin for deeper penetration. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Apply a warm towel to skin and without applying pressure, allow it to remain on skin until lukewarm in temperature. Gently lift towel and use to remove any excess.

Step 5: Apply 2 pumps of Enlighten to hyperpigmented areas on face, neck, and décolleté.

Step 6: Spritz skin with 4 pumps of Clear Plus+, then using gentle pressure, massage Clear Plus+ Into the skin.

Step 7: Apply a dime size amount of Shade or Protect to the face, neck, and décolleté for protection.

*Note, when doing a lightening treatment, SPF if the most important factor in keeping skin bright, protected, and keeping the results of this facial intact.* This facial experience is perfect for gaining a brighter complexion and treating hyperpigmentation! Complete this regimen once a week and utilize Enlighten and Restore every evening for even more results.

Detox Facial - Start the New Season With a Clean Slate.


Oh Acne. We thought we parted ways once we turned 18 and our awkward skin days were over. But alas, it continues to find its way back into our lives. Acne, especially adult acne, can be a huge downer and with spring and summer approaching, the thought of having to wear a lot of makeup to cover up our breakouts is enough to cause a FREAKOUT! Don't worry, we have devised a plan to kick acne to the curb with our Spring Detox Facial! Get ready to reveal clearer, smoother skin.



Step 1. Cleanse with Deep Clean Cleanser. Work it into your skin in circular motions and massage gently to lift impurities, oil, and makeup.

Step 2. Double cleanse with Purify to loosen dead skin cells for a fresh, clean face.

Step 3. Exfoliate with Polish. Massage a nickel size amount onto your face, neck, and chest.

Step 4. Inhale and take a whiff of the delicious cranberry scent of Polish.

Step 5. Wrap a warm towel around your face and let it sit for 5 minutes, then gently remove the mask.

Step 6. Apply one pump of Rescue to your skin. Rescue will ease inflammation, neutralize toxins, and initiate repair of irritated breakouts.

Step 7. Mix one pump of Clarify and one pump of Clear, massage into your skin and use gentle tapping motions with your finger tips to press the product into your skin.

Step 8. Apply a big ol' scoop (silver dollar size amount) of Pore Minimizing Clay Purifying Mask. Massage the mask for 3 minutes onto your face, neck, and chest. If you have break outs on your back, this mask would be a great treatment for those pesky little buggers.

Step 9. After you've massaged the mask into your skin, wrap your face, neck, and chest with a warm towel. Once the towel has cooled, remove the mask.

Step 10.  Look in the mirror and say, "Hello beautiful!"

Step 11. Spritz 1-2 pumps of Clear Plus onto your skin.

Step 12. Apply Shade or Protect to keep your skin shielded from the sun. Throw some pressed base on and hop, skip, and jump outside to show off your clear, beautiful skin... Or just have a dance party in your living room. It's up to you!

This facial experience is perfect for spring cleaning your skin. Set aside some time once a week to treat yourself to a mighty detox. In between treatments we suggest using a Vitamin A Serum as your PM treatment and Rescue in the AM (with Protect or Shade).

For an extra skin detox boost, add Skin Perfection Harmonized Water and DIM to your daily routine to treat your skin from the inside out.

Now put on some Enya and get to spahhhh-ing, homestyle!

It's Fall - Time to Exfoliate ... Or Maybe Not


It’s Fall ~ The time of year we are told that now is the time to supercharge your skincare routine through exfoliation.  Never before have there been more serums, acids, peels and technologies for keeping the skin looking young.  However, this approach is doomed to backfire over time.  It’s time for a new paradigm in skincare.

There is no question that forced exfoliation does speed up epidermal turnover.  However, it does so by creating holes in the epidermal barrier forcing the epidermis to go into survival mode.  Unfortunately, many skincare professionals just look at the end result.  They mistakenly assume that the increased cellular turnover means the skin is healthier, when in fact the reason the epidermis is speeding up its cycle is really an emergency-repair response.  The skin responds to trauma by sending support from the bottom up, diverting collagen, antioxidants and crucial nutrients from the dermis in an attempt to repair the damage to the epidermis, thereby creating a nutritional deficit at the underlying layers of the skin.   This combined with the increased inflammation and micro-scarring caused by the harsh exfoliation and the resulting stress to the immune system creates a stage for pre-mature aging, an increase in free-radicals, dryness, irritation and redness, increased sun sensitivity and melanin activity.

However, you can get the benefits of exfoliation without harming your skin.  Used properly, mild exfoliation can result in younger, refreshed skin.   It helps clear clogged pores, smoothes skin and softens lines.   In order to help the skin achieve the balance it needs, we must work with the skin and avoid creating inflammation. 
The 4 Steps for Success:
  • Use a gentle, non-inflammatory exfoliator.
  • Any exfoliation should not be done daily.
  • Always wear sun protection - 365 days a year - to keep sun sensitivity to a minimum.
  • Eat a healthy diet and take internal supplements as needed to help the skin correct any imbalances.

So before you reach for that product or schedule that appointment for a deep exfoliation on the promise of glowing, renewed skin, stop and take a moment to listen to your skin.  Work with your skin from the inside-out and have a long-term vision on where you want your skin to be in 5, 10, or even 20 years.   Your skin will thank you for it. 


 

POLISH - Enzyme/Firming Mask
For gentle, yet effective exfoliation without inflammation, we recommend Polish, our delicious cranberry enzyme-smoothing, peptide-firming, antioxidant mask.  It is a mild, exfoliating mask that gives the skin a smooth, healthy appearance with each application through the use of cranberry enzymes with small amounts of L-lactic acid.  It contains 1% of the potent antioxidant CoQ10 that leaves your skin protected and radiant.  Using fruit and other gentle enzymes, Polish is designed to remove only the dead skin cells while minimizing lipid removal, keeping the skin soft and healthy.  In addition, Polish provides a gentle firming effect and a radiant glow that lasts for many hours leaving your skin firm, smooth, and beautiful!
