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!

#CLARINS PURE MELT CLEANSING GEL - This oil cleasing gel with Marula oil is the perfect duo combination if you love to double-cleanse your skin every night. I usually follow with a milky cleanser in the winter season and with a foaming cleanser in the warmer months. 

*RETAIL $37.00 - http://bit.ly/2jenhwE 

#NEOSTRATA AquaYouth Filling Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream - This is one of my personal favorite eye creams because it contains hyaluronic acid which works in two ways by adding hydration and minimizing fine lines around the eye contour area. Suitable for sensitive skin and will not cause milia under the eyes. 

*RETAIL $37.00 - http://bit.ly/2juFkQ1

#CLINIDERM HydraComfort Hydrating Serum - This serum provides immediate hydration, I recommend it for any skin type that lacks moisture, feels dry and tight and has visible dehydration fine lines on the surface. Its gel-like texture penetrates rapidly into the skin for a smooth and dewy appearance. 

*RETAIL $35.00 - http://bit.ly/2jeAju7

 #LAROCHEPOSAY HYDRAPHASE UV SPF30 - This product is also available in SPF15. This moisturizer is great because it offers a built-in sunscreen protection which upon application does not feel heavy or greasy on the skin. Contains long-lasting hydrating and anti-aging ingredients such as glycerin, thermal spring water and sodium hyaluronate to keep the skin looking young and plump.

AS SEEN ON TV at ROGERS TV - FILORGA ANTI-AGING MOISTURIZERS OFFER BOTOX LIKE RESULTS IN A JAR.

FILORGA - shopping counter at Holt Renfrew Center in Bloor-Yorkville. 

This counter is beautifully designed and arranged in a way that each skincare product system is displayed in a fashionable manner. The counter also carries the skincare line called; "Skin Perfusion" which is the one that is used inside the treatment room to perform the anti-aging skin treatments. 

At the end of my facial, I received a goodie-bag with a 1 week supply of three anti-wrinkle treatments along with a 20ml sample of MESO+ Absolute wrinkle serum. 

Thank you to the Beauty Advisor, Renee for an amazing experience and gift. She can be reached for more information about any FILORGA product lines and skin treatment bookings at; Tel: 416-922-2333 (ext.21322)

Cryotherapy Treatment

I am a truly advocate of getting monthly skin care treatments since one single treatment can make such a difference on the way your skin looks and feels and have a big impact on your overall well-being. Most spa skin treatments include a face, neck and shoulder massage which helps alleviate muscle tension, relieve stress giving you a more relaxed, youthful and radiant appearance. 

The treatment I received by the lovely esthetician, started out with a thorough product explanation of the line of products that are used during the treatment. 

SKIN PERFUSION serums are massaged into the skin by using a "cryolift" machine to further the penetration of the serums into deeper layers of the skin with the aim to target and correct specific skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, dry skin and brown spots. While the serums are being infused into the skin, there is a cooling effect on the skin's surface which stimulates circulation and helps to detoxify the skin from within for a more radiant and healthy looking skin. Each treatment is customized and layered with a combination of 5 different Professional Skin Perfusion serums available to suit the client's needs and specific concerns.

As part of the anti-aging skin treatment, there is also an application of a skin hydrating masque that adds extra hydration to the skin's surface and also furthers penetration of the serums application into deeper layers of the skin.

FILORGA UNVEILS INNOVATIVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS 
NOW AVAILABLE IN CANADA

NUTRI-FILLER: day-time moisturizer. Retail Price: $95.00 for 50ml.
SKIN-ABSOLUTE: night-time moisturizer. Retail Price: $195.00 for 50ml.
RETAILERS: Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, Murale & Shoppers Drug Mart.

I received these products early this Fall and I am extremely happy with how the products perform on the skin. I am personally all about cream textures and  natural cosmetic scents. Both day and night-time FILORGA moisturizers contain Hyaluronic Acid and NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor) complex which mimics the same results of an aesthetic solution found in acid-based injectable products such as "fillers".  

For anyone looking for a "non-surgical" cosmetic anti-aging solution without the negative side-effects and downtime recovery, I highly recommend using both moisturizers. The best part is when you purchase any two FILORGA skincare products, you will receive a complimentary facial.  For more product information and treatment bookings, please contact Beauty Advisor Renee at Tel: (416) 922-2333 (ext.21322)

NEOSTRATA 3 Step Anti-aging Skincare System Giveaway for Healthy & Glowing Skin

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.
