After a day at the beach or in the sun!

It isn’t all you expected is it? The first few  or time back in the sun after winter is tough. on your skin. Especially when you don’t bring your BFF’S. A sunscreen,sunglasses and lip conditioner. SUNBURN that dreaded look and feeling after a day or two in the sun. You aren’t sitting pretty!

The #1. thing you should have done was throw out last years or expired sunscreen or sunblocks. You need a fresh one! Please don’t forget to reapply not just apply once and think you are all set. You’re NOT!

2. Protect those PEEPERS and wear sunglasses. Squinting causes wrinkles and your eyes themselves need sun protection. Your lips need some love to with a lip balm.

3. Once you’re burned by the sun and outdoors…you need to rescue your skin! But calm down I’ve got your back!

Try a yogurt …plain fluffy Greek yogurt. You can make your own (I will share how you on another TV blog) get some store bought. Apply to your skin like a face mask. A thin coat will do. leave on and rinse well. Add moisture back to your skin! Apply your fav’ moisturizer and face cream.

*Yogurt is a legendary and easy remedy.

4. COOL the burn on your skin with milk on a flat cotton pad or gauze.

5. IF you own an aloe plant…grab a leaf. Cut it open and apply the gel inside on the skin. Great for peeling and itchy skin too. Or fill an ice cube tray with aloe vera gel (found in drug store) and freeze. Roll a cube on the burn and cool down that skin! Aloe plants make great plants for outside your kitchen door. OR in your home. Easy to maintain. Good for kitchen burns while cooking too.

6. Add moisture back to your skin! Soothe your skin further by applying your fav’ moisturizer and face cream. My latest aloe find is Therapispa aloe lotion for the body and the face cream.

I hope and know you will find these skin rescues for your skin useful.

Enjoy a healthy dose of the sun 🌞 this summer!

Skin Softening Winter Pedicure

I don’t know about you but my feet are taking a winter beating.In Florida this winter we are in and out of sandals and shoes with warm black tights. It has been a weather roller coaster here and across the map.

I LOVE these awesome socks! They can be your new BFF beauty addition.

Pamper your feet with these good for your feet treat!

You slip them on as the final step in the pedicure process,JUST BEFORE the nails are painted at your fav’ spa or nail salon.OR of course you can use them at home.They have many wonderful benefits.

Fresh pedicure and feet stay clean and cozy.

Toe nails dry without putting a full sock or tights on.

Body Moisturizers absorb better and your skin will soak the hydration in.

Calluses will in some cases the company says fade away unless you let them get out of control and don’t take care of your feet.

A skin care must for healing therapy of cracked dry skin.

Cozy cotton,luxe quality and machine washable.

I use them in the house wearing sandals and applied a body butter to my feet.

Or I have slept with them on and loved the results!

I found them at:

PS

I love to coat my heels in luxury with Farmhouse Freshgoods…Honey Heel Glaze or Coconut oil from Whole Foods Market.

 

 

 

Don’t BUY IT…Make it yourself!

ALMOST everyone I know wants to stay healthy and do the right thing. This week and long holiday weekend you’ll probably be enjoying time doing something fun outdoors or spending time dining on your patio or deck.So, you know what …

No sunscreen makes me want to scream!

When you head out to enjoy the long 4th of July holiday weekend.

Don’t forget this…SUNSCREEN!

Whether on the beach,sunbathing,walking,playing golf,active in sports,bike riding,surfing,or on a boat. You need to be protected. And by the way just because you have a medium to dark complexion doesn’t mean you don’t need it.
ALL faces,bodies and skin types can get BURNED. Even BABIES need protection!!!

Now don’t get me wrong, you can spend time outdoors and escape for a beautiful walk on the beach. However,you’ve gotta protect your skin and your health! Don’t you?

I LOVVVVVE the way the sun kisses my face daily. I love spending time in the sun.But everything in healthy moderation and the right protection.I am a skin professional who simply wants to HELP you be sun smart.

My sister was diagnosed with Squamous cell skin cancer, my other sister was diagnosed with Melanoma and they don’t even spend time in the sun.They sunbathed just a little when they were teens.They never used a tanning bed and since they live so far from a beach they don’t spend any time at the beach or outdoors except to go in and out of their house door or car. Now,after their diagnosis they stay completely out of the sun and use sunscreen.

Skin cancer is on the rise.
It should be no surprise! MOST people are not skin smart these days.
Don’t be one of the not so pretty or fatal statistics.
Protect yourself!
LOVE that skin and body you’re in. You’ll be glad you did.

11 Days to more beautiful skin!

Even your eye area gets dry from colder weather,heat,outdoor sports or AC.
So, give them the attention they deserve.

I love to use an eye gel. It is a light,cool and feels refreshing.Lighter than a rich eye cream which can sag the skin around the eyes…especially when used with a heavy hand or application.
If you want results and hydrate your skin around the eyes…try an eye gel not a heavy cream.

Kiss your eye area with hydration day and night. Guys too!
