The skin your in, naturally!

Did you know you may very well have all the skin care products you need, right at your fingertips, in your kitchen or pantry? Try these natural ingredients and their benefits to your skin. 

The cucumber is soothing as an eye pad for puffiness, and healing as a mask. I've used it, it works. 

The papaya is exfoliating, containing enzymes.  I use papaya mask once a week.  It's a popular peel.

  

The egg, be sure it's organic :) but the whites are good for toning and tightening. Yes, I've tried this.  Your skin does feel great afterward.  I just wish I was relaxing as someone else brushed it on.  Ahhh.

Potatoes are excellent for oily skin.  They also reduce puffiness around the eyes.  So if your out of cucumbers… :) You can process them to a paste or thin slices and press to your face. 

Yogurt is an excellent mild, cleansing astringent. I know people who have used this, and they love it! 

Honey is very hydrating to the skin, toning and tightening.  Mix this with the next ingredient for a great moisturizing mask! 

Oatmeal is used on the face and body as a mask.  It's soothing on skin, great for eczema also! 

Herbs such as teas, chamomile, peppermint are used and mask or compresses.  Very soothing to skin. I've used tea bags on sunburn…works to take the sting out.  Have you ever tried that? 

My favorite smoothie additive, rich in vitamins and oils, for dry/sensitive skin. Whip this baby up into a smooth dip and slap it on! You'll love it!

Leaving each ingredient on 7-12 minutes, and rinsing gently with warm water (not hot), will give your skin the soft glow you've been looking for.  For an extra, mild exfoliation use a soft wash cloth to remove.  Do not scrub, press lightly.  Follow up with your favorite serum, and/or moisturizer.  

Have you used any of these natural ingredients? 

Would love for you to share for other blogettes to read! 

The Skin I'm In?

Hylunia.  That's my secret.

I've been getting lots of wonderful, ego boosting comments from my blogettes.  Thank you to my girls :) With each kind word, it keeps me on top of myself.  Remembering more often to wash my face and neck, especially before bed, don't' skimp. Exfoliate. Moisturize. Everyone is asking me what my secret is. How I stay so 'youthful' looking, toot-toot goes my horn! Well, it could be a little bit of the gene-pool, my daily eating habits, bad habits I quit many, many years ago (smoking & sun bathing). Many things factor in.

We all need to appreciate what we have (need to practice what I preach), and take preventative steps as much as we can, no matter our age. Hey, there are days I look into that mirror and say, "What the heck happened last night, who messed me up in my sleep!!?!!" Don't we all have those mirror blahs, and our perfect days?  Maybe it's the lighting, maybe how happy or not, we are that day.

How we look, is based on how we feel.  Do you believe that?  I do.

My products? Hylunia skin care products.  It's a natural, vegan product. All the products are 100% free of parabens, phosphates and fragrance, as well as cruelty free. I've been using it for nearly 4-years.  Since then, I've never had the urge to switch to anything else.

I am loyal to Hylunia, and Hylunia is loyal to me. (Do I sound like a commercial or what!)

These are my everyday go-to products:

Healing & Restoring Cream I have very dry skin, especially in Winter.  Ever since I started using this, my skin is much better.  I don't have that dry itch throughout the day.  I usually apply at night before bed as well, right before I put the jammies on to watch TV or blog. In the Summer, I apply once daily.

Colloidal Silver Spray is thee best!  I spritz it on all day, carrying a little guy in my pocket.  It's healing and refreshing.  I feel dry a lot, driving, working around the house, etc.  Perfect for plane travel.  

These are my two big guns I use faithfully! 

Ultimate Anti-Oxidant Treatment OMG peeps!  Anti-oxidants, anti-inflammtories!  This moisturizers my skin the best.  It has improved my skin tone, redness and fine lines.  I still have some, but hey, I'm  aged like a very extra fine wine! 

Beyond Complex C Okay blogettes, this is a must have for all!  A little goes a long way, I promise.  All these products last me a long time.  It really helps with my lip lines, no lie.  

This is the ultimate vitamin C serum.  This helps with redness due to rosacea also. 

Intensive Repair Eye Cream Not everyone believes in eye cream.  I didn't really.  I believed that we all need a good moisturizer, and it works all over.  That's true, I'm not going to try to sell you.  The skin around the eye area is sensitive, so I like to give it a bit more of a delicate treatment.  This is my personal choice due to it's eight peptide ingredients.  There is also a Princess Forumla for dark circles.  I've used them both and they've worked great for me.  

I'm 52, and I feel pretty good with what I have, and the Skin I'm In. 

Five skin tips to protect the skin your in through the Winter!
1. Switch to a creamy cleanser in dryer months. Avoid luffa sponges and wash cloths during the winter. Using your hands won't strip your skin of natural oils. You need those extra oils for the dry air.  2. Moisturize immediately after a shower or bath. Use a heavier cream base to avoid itchy, dry skin.  3. Exfoliate twice a week. This helps to hydrate and maintain the pH balance of all skin types. Use a natural exfoliant, not the hard luffas or seed facial scrubs.  I use the Natural Fruit Acid. 4. Toner, I do use it throughout the day.  Spritzing here and there.  I have a little purse size to carry in my pocket.  Perfecto! I actually use the Colloidal Silver Or Rose Water.  5. Use a serum if your skin still feels dry after applying moisturizer. They penetrate deeper. The one I use is high in Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid.  Be sure to go to the Hylunia web page.  There is so much good information for you to read about the products you could be putting on your skin.  Before you purchase, contact me here.  I could offer you reduced pricing.  Don't let the pricing scare you, haha! There are trial size kits as well, if you don't want to purchase the full size from the start.   Dry/Mature/Sun Damaged Normal/Combo  Ance Oily Rosacea Psoriasis/Eczema Anti-Aging That's the Skin I'm In
