Spring in FINALLY Here!Look for soft eyes and cheeks combined with vivid lips as a 'general' make-up trend for spring and summer. You've seen the flowing dresses and business-like shorts in the stores, but the make-up is new and polished for Spring. You can never go wrong with custom blend foundation and custom blend mineral makeup - they should be formulated to match your skin tone. Please note that if you are planning to tan in the summer, you may need to adjust your makeup to a slightly deeper shade. Please don't try and go to a different tone - just ramp up the color a bit. If you are getting custom blend from us, we can adjust your basic formula to a 'summer' shade that is the same color only darker - you can custom blend as you go to keep the color right. We also highly recommend adding sunscreen to both your liquid foundation or your powder foundation as sun damage is a long term danger to your skin's appearance. Just because it's summer, you don't want to neglect your skincare routine. In fact, you'll want to step up your skincare routine so your skin is in the best shape it can be so you can do less with your make-up in the bright summer sun (which does tend to show everything).

This is a great new scrub that is suitable for all skin types and is gentle enough to be used 3-4 times a week. With Spring/Summer coming and your skin turning over more quickly, a scrub can really improve the overall appearance of your skin. Dead surface cells collect on the surface of your skin leaving your complexion dull and flaky. We recommend scrubbing at least twice a week. It's easiest to do it in the shower - just apply and rinse using your fingertips. The scrub does the work, you don't have to rub. We offer 3 scrubs - Honey/Almond Scrub which is a great general purpose scrub and if you have thick or oily skin, this is the most effective product. If you have very sensitive skin, the Therapeutic Buffing Creme or Foaming Skin Polish are better. The Therapeutic Buffing Creme is best for the most sensitive skin (Rosacea, etc.). After scrubbing twice a week, we also recommend using a masque suitable for your skin type on the following day (scrub first, deep treat next). The masque works to super treat your skin. It will leave your face clear and bright. We offer three masques. The Milk and Honey Masque is for sun-damaged, maturing, dry skin. Apply it (if you are 'super-dry' use some Liquid Gold Serum underneath), let it set up for about 10 minutes and rinse in the shower (which is the easiest way to remove it). The Zinc Masque is for sensitive skin. If you have super-sensitive skin, some Soothing Serum underneath the masque helps boost the soothing effects. The Zinc Masque hydrates and reduces redness. Apply, allow to rest 5 minutes and rinse well with cool water. The Camphor Masque is for oily skin and can be used alone twice a week or if you have combination skin, can be used in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) to help with oily areas while the Zinc or Milk & Honey Masque is used on drier areas. If you have very oily skin, you can use it 3 times a week and try using the Purifying Serum underneath to help slow oil production. Apply. Allow to rest 10 minutes and remove in the shower. Follow your masque or scrub removal with the appropriate toner for your skin type. For more information on the scrubs and masques (and yes, everyone should be using them......) visit our Masques and Scrubs Page.
