3-step Beauty Care system for luscious kissable lips for Valentine's Day!

3-step Beauty Care system to treat dehydrated, dry lips.


With Valentine's just around the corner and this cold weather we are currently experiencing in Toronto, I would like to share with you some skincare products and beauty tips that will help you treat chapped, dry lips and also give you fuller looking lips for the perfect sexy pout.

 EXFOLIATION
 Just like the rest of the face and body, regular and proper lip exfoliation is needed to help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the lips.

LISE WATIER Sensational Kiss is a gentle sugar exfoliating balm, enriched with Shea Butter, Panthenol and Vitamin E. #Parabenfree #exfoliation 

*Retail Price: $23.00

 FACE/LIP MASK
 The benefits of using a skin hydrating mask 1-3 times per week is essential mainly for adding and locking in skin hydration. All skin types can certainly benefit from doing this as part of their skin care regime and the product can also be applied around the eye area, lips, neck and chest to address any skin concerns such as dryness, fine lines and dehydrated skin.

AVENE Soothing Moisture Mask is a rich mix of thermal spring water and nourishing safflower oil that provides immediate relief and hydration to upper layers of the skin. I highly recommend this mask if you are experiencing extreme skin dryness, irritation and redness due to cold weather conditions and over-exfoliated skin. #Parabenfree #mask

*Retail Price: $37.95


 LIP TREATMENT
If the skin's barrier is temporarily impaired and damaged, proper care and treatment is necessary to bring it back to a healthy state. In the case of chapped and dry lips, you also need to use daily a good quality ingredient lip balm. There are a variety of lip balms and treatments in the market that offer multiple healing and repairing benefits including safe lip-plumping properties.

NEOSTRATA Anti-Wrinkle Lip Enhancer contains peptides and Vitamins A & B3 to help increase lip volume due to aging. This lip product also provides long lasting moisturizing benefits and shine without feeling sticky or drying out the lips. Can be used safely a few times a day. #antiaging #lipplumper

*Retail Price: $39.00


LISE WATIER Spa Fondant Moisturizing Lip Therapy is rich with moisturizing Vitamin E and Shea Butter ingredients for ultra-hydrating benefits and "Maxi-Lip complex" provides anti-aging properties that add volume to the lips and refine the lip contour. This is also another great lip treatment product that provides natural shine and a healthy look to the lips. #parabenfree #antiaging

* Retail Price: $22.00

Wishing You a Happy Valentine's Day with lots of Love & Happiness!

My give-away sponsored skincare products have arrived and I am very excited to share them with you. I have been using a few of NeoStrata's skin and body care products for the last couple of years, and the results have been fantastic.
If you are not familiar with the brand, ‪#‎NeoStrataCAN‬ is the Official Skincare Sponsor for @WMCFashionWeek and @VIFFest . It shares a message and a mission that;
1. Skincare is a "Lifestyle"

2. "We want Women to Look & Feel Good at any Age and any Stage"

There is a lot to be said and understood about those two statements the brand communicates to the public. However, the first step to having a healthy, glowing looking skin is by committing to a personalized "daily" skin care regime that is made up of the right skincare products that will help you Treat and Correct any skin conditions that are currently present on the skin.
Doing something daily is a lifestyle habit that requires action. Looking and feeling good at any age is also a lifestyle choice and self-care that goes much deeper than just looking great on the outside, it comes from within and the use of skincare and makeup products can also help us enhance that feeling.

SPA WEEK CANADA OFFERS SKIN CARE & WELLNESS TREATMENTS - BENEFITS TO FEELING GOOD AND LOOKING GOOD

 

Toronto Spa Week offers the Pro and seasonal spa-goer an indulgence of Professional skin care and body care treatments for only $50.00 during the week of April 21 to April 27. 

If you are active on any of the online social media platforms, you may have noticed that every affiliate spa, skin therapist or beautyblogger is using the hashtag #SpaWeek to promote and let everyone know about the upcoming event.

REASONS TO GET PAMPERED DURING TORONTO SPA WEEK

1. You will pamper yourself and be able to reconnect with your "higher-self" in a relaxing atmosphere with candles, burning incense, low lights and soothing music tunes. 

2. You will receive "touch therapy healing", this is the most powerful form of healing out there that one person can give to another person. It allows you to become relaxed, focus on what's important and increase your longetivity. 

3. At the end of your session, your therapist will offer you positive encouragement, at-home advice, product recommendations and how-to's to treat your skin condition, health and lifestyle concerns.




THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR PERSONAL LIFESTYLES.....

We in a society that offers us an incredible amount of information, products and practitioners at the touch of a button. Our lifestyle including mine, is go-go, multiple projects on the works, gym, studying, friends, family, social events and the list goes on... Puff... Puff... Eventually all leading to burnout, sickness, skin conditions and an overwhelming feeling of disappointment when these happen. 

When this happens we need to realize a few things:

1. First, do not be so hard on yourself
2. Learn to listen to your body
3. Slow down, Balance is key for any successful individual 
4. Be thankful and learn to appreciate yourself better
5. Take time to relax, breathe deeply, and develop good sleeping habits 
6. Avoid excessive drinking, smoking, harmful substances and over-medicating
7. Deal with your problems in a positive way, seek help with a Professional Therapist or Counselor

So you may be asking yourself  how you can choose a Spa treatment(s) that is suitable for your needs? 

A professional Spa Therapist will do a thorough consultation prior to the skin or body treatment and according to her results, she will either go ahead and perform what you are booked in for, she may do some tweaking or offer you a complete different treatment. The important thing is that you communicate to the therapist, how you are feeling and what you are expecting to get out of the treatment.

Here is a short list of skin and body conditions you can use to book your appointments during Toronto's Spa Week. If you would like to be one of my VIP clients, you can BOOK an appointment with me by filling out the form on the highlighted link.
