HOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN GLOWING DURING WINTER MONTHS

11.22.2017

The winter months are upon us, which means its time to switch up our skincare routine, and maybe add an extra step or two. In fact, as of last week, I’ve noticed my skin much more dry and trying to adapt to the new temps.

Today I’m partnering with Onyx Youth Magnetic Mask to share how to keep your skin glowing during the winter months!

When I first tried this mask, I was definitely skeptical. Magnetic mask? Seems odd…. but once I tried it not only did I see an instant difference in my skin, the technology is just so cool! I not only had so much fun playing with the product, my skin definitely looked more radiant and fresh when I was done.

The Onyx Youth mask is made in Korea by Korean skincare scientist who were determined to revitalize skin and reversing the aging process.

Why is the Onyx Youth Magnet Mask so effective?

This mask is more effective than traditional skin cleansers because of its ability to bond with contaminants in your pores. Due to the mask’s iron-rich formula, the magnet wand will remove the mask and simultaneously pull impurities from your skin.

As you pass the magnetic wand over your face, you will see and feel this powerful tool binding to dirt, oil, sweat, dead skin cells and environmental pollutants, physically removing them directly up and out of your pores with 3,000g of lifting power.

The magnetic mask is full of good for you ingredients such a volcanic minerals, a few different botanical oils and amino acids. It’s pretty dang impressive!

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Like many masks you want to apply the magnet mask in an even layer to your face, avoiding the eyes. Leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Pass the electromagnetic wand over your face near the surface of the skin. As the magnet glides over skin, it will interact with the magnetic particles in the mask, while drawing out impurities.

Step 3: Gently massage the remaining serum into your skin to infuse the exclusive formula of amino acids, antioxidants and nourishing oils.

… and in 10 minutes I noticed such a big difference: glowing and brighter skin. 🙂

Although this is a sponsored post, I would never promote something that I did not absolutely love. This product is truly incredible, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to try it! I’m a total skincare junkie and anything that brightens, anti-ages and nourishes my skin is a winner in my book.. ESPECIALLY during these winter months.

Why Lemon Water is a Must!

05.06.2013

Lemon water is a great way to get in your gallon a day! Water hydrates while lemon revs your metabolism. This is a fitness must! My parents brought on my obsession with lemon water, they are so creative with adding all sorts of fruit to create something a little different from the ordinary. Start your day off on the right foot with a glass in the morning to refresh, revitalize and hydrate! I’m telling you, it does wonders for your body, skin and energy levels! Here’s how:

Boosts your immune system
Balances pH levels
Flushes out unwanted materials
Decreases wrinkles and blemishes (woohoo!)
Cures sore throat, especially when you mix with honey
Aids with weight loss(!!!)
Stimulate digestion and adds vitamin C
Reduces Fever

Instead of soda, lemonade or any sugary drinks, I love the idea of creating flavored ice cubes! For a fun summery drink, make flavored ice cubes by adding lemon, mint, blueberries, strawberries, pineapples, pomegranate seeds, cucumbers (pretty much anything) to your ice-cube trays and freeze. Delish!

Happy Monday and thanks for reading!!

Self Tanner Picks…Hello Summer!

04.15.2013

We are heading into the summer season! (Sorry to state the obvious, but I’m a little excited). Well, here in San Francisco the seasons are all mixed up, so you never know when you will have a summer day. With that said, bring on the self tanner! The best way to accentuate your fit body is a nice tan. Who am I kidding, everyone looks better tan. I used to a frequent visitor of the tanning bed (EEK!!) but with all the new knowledge about how bad they are I have learned my lesson and steer clear. When I don’t have time for a spray tan at the salon I often use the following to get that healthy summer glow.

1. St. Tropez: Self Tan Bronzing Mousse: St Tropez has many popular products and this is one of my favs! The formula drys quickly and gives a nice natural tone. Make sure to use the gloves provided, wash off in a couple of hours or the next day to reveal a gorgeous rich bronze tan.

2. Kate Somerville: Tanning Towelettes: Absolutely NO streaks and very easy to use! You can apply to your body and within the hour put on your shorts and go. These are more expensive than the others, but well worth it for a nice deep easy way to tan. They are also paraben and sulfate free.

3. Neutrogena MicroMist Airbrush Sunless Tan: I buy this stuff at my local drugstore quite often because you can’t beat the price. The quality is also up to par, and can be used both on your body or face. I usually spray on a clean face post shower, go to bed and wake up with beautiful natural glow.

4. bareMinerals Faux Tan Face Gradual Glow Sunless Tanner: LOVE this stuff. I love everything bareMinerals, and use their entire makeup line as well. Also thinking about checking out their moisurizers. There is no bad smell and does not clog pores. Definite staple in my collection.

5. Bliss A Tan for all Seasons: This is an excellent self tanner for fair skin, but also buildable for darker complextions. It keeps the skin smelling sunny and bright with a citrusy scent, and looks completely natural with no orange tone.

6. Jergens: Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer: Looking for a 3 in 1, moisturizer, bronzer and skin firming technique? This is it! You can buy this at your local drugstore.

Which are your favorites?
