I love this kind of treatments because they give the extra boost for a younger skin. Motly theye are intense treatments packed with fruit-based acids that exfoliate dead cells  from the surface of the skin and encourage it to produce more collagen and build a new cell chains in replacement for the dead cells removed by the treatment.

How to motivate the blood circulation in your face to reveal a brighter-younger looking skin

Image
Salut mes amis: My skin condition is considered good, however I suffered in the past weeks from dullness. Neither scrubbing nor hydrating was working enough for me. So I started searching for anything that could help me get rid of the dullness until I met this miracle ingredient. Yes COFFEE. Coffee is packed with caffeine which is our gold ingredient here. Caffeine stimulates the blood vesicles beneath the skin  and hence motivate the blood to flow in the area caffeine is applied to. In other words it directs the flow of blood which is packed with oxygen and nutrients to the targeted area. I use coffee on my skin through a mask mixture. This mask is perfect for brightening the skin, scrubbing off dead cells and tightening the pores. It is perfect also for reducing cellulite. You can apply this mask to the thighs and hips to get rid of cellulite,  Here is how to make the mask: A- 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil B- 1 table spoon of any coffee grounds (sometim...

What to Expect When doing a Facial Treatment

Image
As a start and according to my aesthetician, a facial treatment is needed every 4-5 weeks. In some cases when the skin is in good condition as in no acne,clogged pores,oils..etc, a facial treatment could be postponed to be every 6-7 weeks. Always make sure to do your facial in an authorized clinic, no salons or spas, and always make sure to talk to the technician who is going to do the facial for you. Discuss your concerns with her/him and make sure she/he have the proper knowledge and know your needs. Facials are divided into two  parts - based on the expected results- : 1- Tools / Machines  2- human effort (technician/beautician) Most tools/machines in facial treatments are the same. Vapor machine, facial cleansing brush, smaller facial cleansing brush, pores closing machine..etc. They are very important steps to clean the pores and prepare the skin for extractions. Also they are crucial in closing the pores at the end of the facial treatment to avoid any ...

This combination is essential for collagen production in the skin, it helps in reducing discoloration and it is packed with anti-oxidants which reduce the aging process and the production of any harmful cells.

I do not suffer from big pores. I never used mattifying primers, my skin is too dry by it is own.  When I first knew about this method, I was searching for a way to reduce the appearance of intense black circles, also to increase the brightness of my skin. "GREEN TEA ICE CUBES" is the solution for  magical skin. I started using green tea ice cubes for about 2 months at this point, and they work like magic! I apply one cube in the morning to help me with the puffiness especially under the eye area, and I apply one cube at night before my night time skin care regime to refresh the blood circulation in my skin.  I truly found incredible results in the overall smoothness/brightness of my skin. These ice cubes helped me with the firmness of my skin and gave me a more youthful look. I like the redness incorporated with the ice application as it shows how the blood is flowing in the skin, this helps in reducing any blue/green spots in the skin especially in the ca...

Retin A (and I am not a doctor) is an acid form of vitamin A. It has huge popularity and uses in medical and beauty industries.  Let's focus on beauty.  Retin A Creams have peeling effect on the skin. They are mostly used to improve the surface and the look of the skin. It is also widely used to cure wrinkles.  Basically Retin A encourage the skin to peel off is surface cells, which helps in reproduction of collagen in order to come up with new surface cells.

It revealed a whole new skin of mine, very glowy and healthy and healthy and very less ...

Renee Rouleau Toning Cloths Review

Image
Did you know that when using a cotton pas, 50% of the liquid product you are applying on it is absorbed by the cotton pad itself. Hence you are going to need more quantities to do the job perfectly. This is one of the great losses we face when using cotton-based tissues. Its absorption rate is very high. Similar to beauty blenders and sponges. I was introduced to Renee Rouleau Toning Cloths through her website. Somehow the description she wrote was very convincing to me. After looking also at the price and the amount of tissues in each box, it made some sense. I got almost 135 tissues for 13.50 $. It is like 0.1$ for each tissue. Also these tissues are recycled and recyclable which is very considerate for the environment. She stated in her website that: " Toning Cloths by Renée Rouleau is a skin accessory to reduce toner waste instead of using highly absorbent cotton balls or cotton pads. These economical, lint-free, fuzz-free cloths use a soft blend of fibers to absorb...
