Be in the Know…Get that GLOW!

It is the start of the awesome July 4th weekend and maybe you’re going to hang in town  have a barbeque and shop on your computer too. Here is a product I discovered browsing on Instagram. I had to own one! It is not glitter in a balmy stick it is so much more.

Z E has many benefits… at the top of the list it  makes your skin look fabulous and gives your skin a subtle glimmer glow. It is an indie brand created by a woman. This brand’s products have the good stuff and none on the bad.

100% organic,natural,vegan,shea butter,coconut oil and is highly moisturizing.

You decide if you want to be a Golden Bronze Goddess or a Bronze Bahama Mama. http://www.zabanaessentials.com

Go for the glow, Gorgeous!

D.I.Y. Pore Glow and Facial Steam

THIS really works at getting your skin going and glowing.

I love my oh so feather light weight VIOlife personal humidifier! It really makes the dry air moist (Dry air sucks moisture from our skin) and it makes my skin LOOK and feel amazing after a good nights sleep and it on in my bedroom. It is eco-friendly as it uses a bottle of water (like you drink) or fill the bottle that it comes with and refill it again and again.Simply plug it in and you are good to go. You can also use this humidifier at your office desk or in your living room too.

Another skin energizing idea …

I also LOVE to do a facial steam bath for my pores.In this brutal long winter weather unless you are an avid jogger or workout at the gym…You really don’t work up a sweat. This steam bath that you can do at home like the spas do with their expensive professional equipment is cheap,chic and you feel so clean afterwards.

What you will need:

A pot of hot water (like you are making pasta)

1 bunch of rosemary,dried roses or fresh mint

Boil the fresh water on the stove top and place the flowers or herbs inside then turn pot off.

Next, place a soft thin towel (I use a kitchen tea towel) and place it over your head. Form like a veil on your head and over your face. Lean your face towards (NOT INTO) this steamy water brew.let the steam hit your face.

You will notice your skin will start to work up a sweat and your skin will start to get dewy. This is a GREAT sign.

Remember you are doing a facial STEAM bath. NOT anything more. You can do this approx. 5-8 minutes.

Today on TV I will show the viewers how to do this on a daytime talk show here in sunny Florida.

Oil Beauty Bath

Heat oil on low in saucepan for a minute to get a warm temperature NOT hot.
Pour into a small soup bowl or buy a nail soak bowl from a beauty supply.
Place your fingers into the warm lush oil for at least 8-10 minutes.
Push back your cuticles afterwards with an orange wood stick.
Your nails will look so much better.

TAN like the celebrities do!

I love easy. I love not sweating on the beach, say no to lobster face and I love a golden glow sometimes!
But as a skin therapist and beauty expert it is a no no to BAKE like banana nut bread.
So, I love the healthier alternative for tanning beauty.The latest trends in summer skin are pretty much classic either by tanning towels, lotions or the creme de la creme of self tanning like they do on Dancing with the Stars…an air brushed spray tan.

MOST celebrities do it as their beauty secret before they walk down any red carpet…you can too.
Google away and find someone in your city.

Jimmy Coco is the spray tan king in Hollywood.But if you can’t get to LA I have found the man in Jacksonville! TAN on the Go Mobile who comes to your door.A handsome man with a tan or one of his team can make your tan skin dreams come true.

NOT for ladies only…Guys will love it too!

A better way to wrinkle less and a way to make your body look more toned,well rested light golden complexion,cover spider veins,red splotches,vericose veins and body blemishes.A spray tan hides a multiple of sins that you may not like about your body without going to confession.

Say “Hello to Gorgeous and Handsome!”
Get out your sunglasses,tan smart and safely and ready to flaunt the star you are. It is that time of year again…sweet sunny summer time!
