Hello and Happy March to YOU!!

I don’t know where February went but I’m glad it’s March, that much closer to warmer weather.:) You can save in the month of March on your favorite Mary Kay products. This month you'll receive 20% off your order and always FREE shipping.

Co-workers and friends always ask me how I keep my complexion flawless and soft. I thought I would share with you the products I use daily to keep my youthful look.:) If you’ve never met me in person you can visit my Facebook page here - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=541007524&ref=profile. Not bad for an almost 50 year old, huh?:) If you have a Facebook account please add me as your friend!

Ok, back to my daily regimen. The Set I can’t live without is the Miracle Set. The set utilizes the latest in skin care science to bring you the younger-looking skin you want with fewer lines and wrinkles, improved firmness, and more even skin tone. The 3-1 Cleanser (cleanses, tones, exfoliates all in one), moisturizer – I can’t go without my moisturizer!!!, plus it has anti-aging properties. Also in my set is Daily Solution which protects me from environmental damage – has a 25 SPF. Dermatologists recommend that you use a sunscreen daily, not just when the sun is out, but any time to keep the damage away. Then there is my Night Solution which I call my prescription Retin A you get from your Dermatologist. The Night Solution does some serious repair – minimums fine lines aned wrinkles and keeps your skin baby soft. Lastly, Eye Cream is a MUST!! Your under eye area doesn’t have pores and this area is the first to age you. I use my anti-aging eye cream morning and night.

One thing I have discovered is my face needs a good exfoliate 1-2x per week. If I don’t exfoliate my makeup looks drab and doesn’t go on right. If you want an alternative to going to the Dermatologist then try our Microdermabrasion Home System. I keep this advanced exfoliator (same professional grade exfoliating crystals used by dermatologists) in the shower to immediately energize skin. It really gives my skin a healthy glow.

As Time Goes By....

I want to share some information with you that many women ask "as time goes by" and we get older.

I had a potential customer write me about her skin care concerns. She wrote -

Within the last month or 2 I am experiencing that lovely perimenopause and the oil production on my face is out of control. I have always had combination skin, but this is extensive. Very greasy, particularly T-zone but also in the temple areas and have had breakouts. UG! It is so unpleasant that my bangs end up kind of greasy by days end. I end up cleaning my face about 3 times a day to cut down on the oils, but that cannot be good for my skin and I fear that I am not getting enough moisture to the wrinkles around my eyes and mouth area. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Dear Ms. Oily,

I understand your skin care concerns. As we are going through "change" our bodies and skin do some strange things.:) I don't know about you, but some times I feel like I'm going back to puberty myself.:)

To answer your question, you'll want to make sure you are using a skin care system that meets your needs. Since you have very oily skin you'll need a skin care system to control oil. Some women think that if they have oily skin they don't need to moisturize, not so. Your skin needs daily hydration and moisture. You'll get these benefits by using the correct skin care system -- the basics, cleanser and moisturizer and if needed some extra supplements.

To help control your oil beyond your skin care system I would suggest using a supplement that helps control oil throughout the day. One product I love and know that works is our Oil Mattifier. The Oil Mattifier absorbs oil and helps control shine for at least eight hours. And you can reapply it throughout the day – even over your foundation.

Another product I keep handy in my purse is our Beauty Blotters. These handy tissues absorb oil without the day and help keep your makeup fresh.

And to zap those zits, give our Acne Treatment Gel a try! A little dab daily will do it. The secret to this product is to continue to treat the affected area a few days after it disappears.

Remember, as you get older your skin care needs may change. I find though I'm still a bit oily I need additional hydration in some areas, so I've started using our Oil-Free Hydrating Gel. It's a perfect combination with my daily moisturizer.

Don't forget with the change of the seasons check your foundation shade. Most likely you will need a darker shade in the summer and lighter one in the winter.

Blessings,
SkinCareGirl

Tickled Pink

I have just heard great information from a National Sales Director that she received at the Houston Leadership Conference. The NSD and her Area Directors attended Area day at Leadership with NSD Cindy. Cindy invited a doctor from the Houston area to speak about our products. He is a Harvard graduate, former scientist with NASA. He is now a world renowned plastic surgeon and his wife is a Mary Kay Sales Director. When he first discovered Mary Kay, he told his wife "she had better join or find someone as wonderful as she so he could refer his patients to her".

His findings were: Mary Kay is the BEST skincare bar none!!!

1. Only comprehensive anti-aging skin care regimen program on the market for men
2. Only comprehensive anti-aging skin care program on the market for women
3. Only evidence based medical research on skin care using random people vs. science & using test panels
4. TimeWise Moisturizer is the only moisturizer with 8 different moisturizers and 8 different amino acids (Vitamin E antioxidants, etc)

Daily skin care regimen he recommends:

TimeWise 3-in-1 Cleanser
MicroDermabrasion (use at least 1x per week and can be used daily if oily)
TimeWise Day Solution
Even Complexion Essence - also use on throat, chest and hands
Eye Revitalizer (optional)
Eye Firming Cream - also use on throat and hands
TimeWise Moisturizer

TimeWise Night time - Night Solution in place of TimeWise Day Solution and use either Intense Moisturizer or Oil Free Hydrating Gel after TimeWise Moisturizer.
