Tip Of The Month
"April Showers Bring May Flowers". Can this apply to skincare? You bet it can! Freshening our skin regularly allows the vibrant, younger skincells to shine and give us a glowing, healthy, younger looking face. All you need to do is exfoliate with a glycolic acid pad once or twice a week to brighten your skin almost immediately.
Prepping Pretty Spring Skin
When the sun finally begins to warm our faces again, and the world slowly looks a little greener, we always feel the need to freshen up our looks a bit. In an enthusiastic hurry to apply this season’s bright makeup colors, we may forget to stop and realize that the most important step is good skincare for a clean, smooth base. After the cold wind, dry heating systems, and dark days are done with our faces, most of us go into springtime looking a little dull.
To bring your face back to life, there are some basics that always help whether you’re at a spa or your bathroom sink. Firstly, be sure to exfoliate: it can be as simple as adding salt (for oily skin) or sugar (for dry skin) to your face wash or buying one with exfoliating beads in it. It always helps to add a product with something like fruit enzymes or hydroxy acids into your regimen for added results. Going to get microdermabrasion at a local spa is a great choice for deep exfoliation that will be noticed right away. Any of these options will reveal fresh skin that is glowing and smooth.
Second, you need to continuously moisturize to have skin perfect for makeup application. If you’re getting a facial at a spa, that’s great because they will both exfoliate and moisture your skin while you’re there. At home, be sure you’re using a formula appropriate for your skin type, like a gel for oily skin, a thicker cream for dry, or something in between. Some of the face lotions with radiance/skin brightening ingredients are perfect for dewy spring skin, and are a nice boost for any look.
If we just take a little extra care in reviving skin at this time of year, the reward will be a complexion that’s more awake and well-textured. Your face will look flawless all season long!

Customer Q & A
I Just Purchased Aveeno Makeup Remover Foaming Cleanser And Two Days Later My Eyes Puffed Up And My Face Has A Rash Around My Cheeks Like An Allergic Reaction.
This is no good! The first thing I will recommend is to discontinue use and see a doctor or dermatologist immediately because some allergic reactions can be severe or even deadly.
After scouring for the ingredients list, here is what I found: Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Glycerin, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Polysorbate 20, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Hexylene Glycol, PEG-6 Caprylic Capric Glycerides, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Phenoxyehanol, Isoceteth-20, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, Xanthum Gum, PEG-16 Soy Sterol, Methylisothiazolinone
This particular client has allergies to walnuts, but I personally suspect it was the soy.
