DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

THERE IS SO MUCH CONFUSION ABOUT "NATURAL" AND "ORGANIC" PRODUCTS SUCH AS SKIN CARE, COSMETICS AND FOOD. BASICALLY YOU CAN PUT A NATURAL OR ORGANIC INGREDIENT OR INGREDIENTS INTO THESE PRODUCTS IN THE US AND CALL MARKET YOURSELF AS A HEALTHY PRODUCT. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE NO STRICT REGULATIONS LIKE THERE ARE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. YOU MUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT ABOUT WHAT IS IN YOUR SKIN CARE AND COSMETICS YOU CAN GO TO EWG.ORG (ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP) WEBSITE AND GO UNDER SKIN DEEP AND IT WILL GIVE YOU SOME GREAT INFORMATION.

AT MAKING FACES WE OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF ORGANIC SERVICES AND ALSO WORK WITH AND SELL NYR ORGANIC PRODUCTS WHICH COMES FROM LONDON WITH HIGHER STANDARDS OF ORGANIC PRACTICES. ALL PRODUCTS TELL YOU THE %'S OF ORGANIC INGREDIENTS AND THEY ALSO SELL THE FIRST EVER CERTIFIED ORGANIC MAKEUP.

Skin Death!

02/14/2012 14:03:00

Do you get caught up in the hype of the advertising campaigns that promise you the "fountain of youth" "reverse sun damage" "get rid of all your wrinkles" or how about the ones that target out youth "no more acne" "rid your skin of blackheads". Do you have any idea all of the toxic ingredients they put in these products. Ingredients that are proven to cause cancer, endocrine disrupters, irritants, may cause burns, allergic reactions, systemic reactions, reproductive and developmental disrupters, and much more. WHAT! We now realize the skin absorbs 60% and much higher depending on pore size and structure to the skin. Everyone is now OVER-EXFOLIATING their skin taking off those protective layers which allows these toxins to penetrate quicker and deeper. When you place something on the skin it does not have to go thru a digestive process like food we eat it becomes quickly systemic. Please be aware of this. The FDA does not care about you. Ingredients that are allowed over here have been banned in other parts of the world for years- for instance Lead in lipsticks unsafe amounts of lead in lipstick that you are also digesting.

This is why I use organic holistic result oriented skin care products, peels, baking soda microderms, body treatments, and airbrush tanning. Please take care of yourself both internal and external. Your life depends on it.

THE POWER OF TOUCH

01/12/2012 12:29:00

TOUCH AND MASSAGE HAVE SO MANY BENEFITS. NOT ONLY ARE WE STIMULATING CELL PRODUCTION AND OXYGENATION TO THE CELLS BUT WE ARE ALSO IMPROVING THE CIRCULATION OF BLOOD AND LYMPH FLOW. WHEN DEALING WITH SUN-DAMAGE SKIN BECAUSE THE CIRCULATION IS COMPROMISED THIS IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL.

ALSO, OUR BODYS AND SOULS NEED TOUCH IT LOWERS HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE. IT ALSO RELEASES SERATONIN AND ENDORPHINS SO THAT WE FEEL BETTER AND RELEASES PAIN SYMPTOMS.

WITHOUT TOUCH WOULD BE SAD FOR ALL OF US.

Make Up for more mature skin

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR APPLYING MAKEUP ONCE YOU GET INTO YOUR FORTIES OR WHEN YOU START TO SEE MORE LINES AND WRINKLES.

FIRST AND FORMOST DO NOT USE SHIMMERS. THESE SHIMMERS ACT LIKE HIGHLIGHTERS AND MAKE WRINKLES AND FINE LINES LOOK MORE PRONOUNCED. USING MATTE, CREAMS AND/OR SATINS MAKE AREAS LOOK MORE SMOOTH AND FLAWLESS.

IF YOUR SKIN IS ALSO DRY STAY AWAY FROM MINERAL POWDERS. I KNOW THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TOLD THAT LOOK BEST ON THIS TYPE OF SKIN BUT MOST OF THESE POWDERS CONTAIN "MICA" THAT IS A LIGHT REFLECTOR SO AGAIN CAN MAKE US LOOK MORE AGED BY SETTING UP IN WRINKLES. ALSO, AS WE AGE OUR SKIN GETS DRIER SO WE NEED TO ADD MOISTURE TO OUR SKIN TO GIVE US A HEALTHIER GLOW SO I USUALLY SUGGEST TINTED MOISTURIZERS, CREME FOUNDATIONS, OR COLORED MOUSSES.

ADD A POP OF COLOR TO THE CHEEKS. WE LOSE PIGMENT AND COLORING IN OUR SKIN AND TEND TO LOOK SALLOW AND UNHEALTHY SO ADDING A PRETTY PINK, APRICOT, OR RASBERRY COLOR GIVES US A NICE HEALTHY GLOW TO THE SKIN.

STAY AWAY FROM TOO MUCH EYELINER AND LIP LINER. THESE CAN AGE US AND MAKE US LOOK TOO HARD. SMUDGE SOME SOFT LINERS AROUND THESE AREAS WITH NO HARD LINES.

LIP GLOSS CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND. NOT ONLY DOES IT GIVE YOU MORE MOISTURE IN THE MOUTH IT ALSO MAKES LIPS APPEAR FULLER AND GIVES YOU A MORE YOUTHFUL MOUTH.

Why are facials so important? Why do Americans still consider Facials and Massages a "luxury" instead of a necessity like most other cultures? This questions still remains after all the research proves that it increases cirulation, lymph, removes toxic waste, increases cell turnover for anti-aging, reduces stress, increases immunity, stimulates oxygenative cells to the surface, reduces inflammation, and these are just a few of the benefits of the massage aspect of these services. Holistic facials can be anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-aging, reduce pigmentation, reduce acne, reduce dermatitis's, exfoliate, brighten, nourish, purify,detoxify,hydrate,clarify, smooth, regeneralize, relax and bring skin back to its optimal health. Stop justifying why you should have these services. These services should be a priority to your health and since your health should be the most important factor ( since we cannot take care of others if we are sick) this should be routine. If you cannot afford these services like some people say get rid of some other unneccessary factors like coffee everyday, fake nails, eating out all the time, unneccassry clothes and other objects in your life. If your health is great you can save money on meds, doctors visits, gas to the doctors etc.... Why do you think alot of other countries are so much healthier than us? They eat well, live well, relax and take care of themselves!

IS IT JUST AS IMPORTANT TO USE NON-CHEMICAL MAKEUP LIKE SKINCARE

07/29/2011 16:46:00

I GET THIS QUESTION ALOT. THIS IS A EASY ONE ABSOLUTELY! ANYTHING YOU PLACE ON YOUR SKIN WHETHER IT IS A FACIAL CLEANSER, BODY LOTION OR MAKEUP IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR IT TO BE CLEAN. AS I MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS BLOG WHEN SOMETHING GOES ON THE SKIN IT BECOMES TRANSDERMAL MEANING YOU APPLY IT, IT GETS ABSORBED, AND GO STRAIGHT THRU THE BLOODSTREAM THEN EVENTUALLY FILTER THRU THE LIVER. WITH FOOD, IT STARTS TO BREAK DOWN THRU THE SALIVA GOES THRU THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS AND EXCRETED THRU THE BOWELS AND FILTER THRU THE LIVER EVENTUALLY. THIS IS WHY SOME EXPERTS BELIEVE WHAT YOU PLACE ON YOUR SYSTEM IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT.

MAKEUP IS PLACED ON THE SKIN AND LEFT ON. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF FOUNDATIONS THAT HAVE SPF IN THEM BECAUSE IT IS USUALLY THE CHEMICAL VERSION OF THEM WHICH ARE HIGHLY TOXIC. ALMOST ALL LIPSTICKS THAT ARE NOT NON-CHEMICAL HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD YES I SAID LEAD WHICH IS INCREADIBLY TOXIC AND HAS LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR FETUSES.IF YOU ARE A LIPSTICK OR LIPGLOSS WEARER BEWARE THAT YOU INGEST QUANTITIES OF IT OVER YOUR LIFE SPAN.

MINERAL MAKEUP THE MAJORITY OF IT IS NOT CLEAN PLEASE THIS IS A HUGE MISCONCEPTION THERE ARE PARABANS, CHEMICAL PRESERVITIVES, BISMUTH OXICHOLRIDE,

UREA ETC. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR PRODUCTS JUST LOOK AT THE INGREDIENTS.

DID YOU KNOW

07/12/2011 13:08:00

DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME EXPERTS AGREE THAT ACTUALLY WHAT YOU PLACE ON YOUR SKIN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY. THE REASON BEING WHEN YOU PLACE SOMETHING ON YOUR SKIN IT CAN BE ABSORBED RAPIDLY INTO THE BLOODSTEAM AND THEN BECOME SYSTEMIC INTO THE BODY. WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR MOUTH HAS TO BE BROKEN DOWN WITH SALIVA THEN GOES THRU THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS AND THEN PROCESS THRU THE LIVER. THIS IS WHY PATCHES FOR SMOKING ETC HAVE BECOME SO POPULAR. PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE USING ON YOUR EVERYDAY SKIN REGIME THIS MEANS NOT ONLY FACIAL PRODUCTS BUT BODY PRODUCTS AS WELL.

WHAT DOES YOUR FACE REVEAL?

Your skin according to Chinese medicine:

jawline and chin breakouts- indicates hormonal imbalance and congestion in the colon. (constipation)
lines above upper lip- stagnantion and/or blockages in the digestive tract- accumaltion of acidic waste and toxcity that is not adequately leaving the body.
nasalobial folds line- relate to lungs and liver. can be due to smoking or shallow chest breathing in which not enough oxygen is getting into the lungs. can also be related to a backed up colon which indicates a overloaded liver.
lines on the forehead- toxin filled colon and gallbladder. major contributores are dairy, cooked oils and processed foods.
dark under circles and puffiness- adrenal exhaustion-too much caffeine and lack of 8 hour sleep
crows feet- again overtaxed adrenals
patchy skin and lines that are up high on the cheekbone- could be heart issue or eating toom uch animal protein or animal products that clog our system.

The great news is we can eat much better and detox ourselves so that our cells can regenerate.

Too Much Sun

06/09/2011 12:59:00

I hear this over and over every summer "I applied sunscreen but I still got tanned or burned" or "I use sunscreen and kept applying every 2 hours like you recommended but still got tanned." If this is the case eitherthe SPF is not strong enough for your skin type, the sunscreen expired, or you were not being diligent enough with how much you put on your skin or did not reapply like you should have.

I know some people still feel it is attractive to have color but being tan or burned means that your skins DNA is being change and the coloring that is associated with being tan is actually your skins mechanism that it is being damaged. The free radical damage associated with being tanned or burned wreaks havoc on not only your skin but also internally. Free radicals are unstable molecules that will pair up with the cells in your skin and cause major issues like cancer, lower immunity, premature aging etc.

Please think about the damage you are doing when you are literally "cooking your skin." There are so many great self tanners, we do Airbrush Tanning that is fabulous as an option to get healthier color.

This is 2011 gone is the day where tanning is associated with being healthy!
