Soothe Reactive Skin

Reactive or easily irritated skin is difficult to deal with, especially when you are looking into starting a new skin care regimen. Certain ingredients, including chemicals like parabens, or a change in products can turn your skin into a reactive outbreak.

Pevonia Botanica Reactive Skin Care Cream is ideal for not only performing the normal functions of a cream such as hydrating and protecting the skin's barrier, but also preparing your skin for irritation and actually promotes a less sensitive skin.

Combine this with Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser from Pevonia and you have the perfect start to a great skin care regimen. This regimen is so gentle yet effective, you’ll soon be able to incorporate more products to your everyday regimen.

Sunscreen for Infants

With spring here and summer quickly approaching, we as need to ensure that we are protected from the sun. Sun protection for young ones and newborns is just as important during these times of the year, if not year round.

Mustela Better Safe then Sorry Sun Set is a fun and easy way to get your kids into applying sunscreen. This all-inclusive kit has sun protection for the face and body as well as cleansing wipes and a beach ball for play time.

For children with extremely sensitive skin, SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion Super Sensitive – Fragrance Free from California Baby has optimal sunscreen properties and is also fragrance free, which is great for kids with allergies to scents.

Why not make things simple with California Baby SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion – Citronella Bug Blend? Multipurpose products like this one make it easy for parents when the kids make it hard.

Keep Itching At Bay

Common skin conditions such as contact dermatitis or rashes will cause irritation on the skin such as itching and redness. Causes of contact dermatitis include poisonous plants like poison oak, detergents, cleaning substances, perfumes, etc.

Generally, allergies to these certain causes can’t actually be controlled or stopped; however, the symptoms such as itching can be alleviated. Aquanil HC Lotion contains a 1% hydrocortisone formula that relieves itching and irritation.

AmLactin AP Moisturizing Cream is a non-steroidal treatment cream that treats itchiness as well as gently exfoliates with lactic acid to remove dead skin cells, yet also moisturizes the skin.

For discomfort and relief of itching on the face Immediate Comfort 1% Hydrocortisone Lotion from Bioelements is perfect as well as for any areas of the body that are affected with itchiness.

Healthy Scalp and Hair

There's no denying that everyone wants healthy, beautiful hair. But some products are more beneficial than others. Spalasium Replenishing Shampoo and Spalasium Repairing Conditioner from Pevonia Botanica feature natural formulas with nourishing essential oils that add an invigorating fragrance as well. Vitamin E hydrates the hair while protecting against environmental damage.

The hair can age the same way the skin does. Revitalize hair with Jan Marini Age Intervention Hair Revitalizing Conditioner. This formula protects hair against harmful chemicals and environmental factors while adding body and volume, and can added to your normal hair care regimen.

For men experiencing hair loss, new Osmotics FNS Male Treatment for Thinning Hair provides a gentle non-hormonal treatment that helps naturally rejuvenate the follicle with vitamins, proteins and minerals.

Smart Shaving

For men and women alike, shaving is a nuisance that we have to put up with on a regular basis. Luckily, there are a number of skin care products that help prevent or soothe the nicks and burn that often come with shaving.

An all-natural shaving cream like Absinthe Heady Shave Cream from Korres Natural will help to prevent irritation. Rich in soothing vitamins and essential oils, this non-foaming cream lifts the hair to prevent ingrown hairs or irritation.

For maximum precision when shaving, the eShave Razor offers five close-set blades that work together to get the closest shave possible. Available in six colors, each razor is meticulously designed and crafted.

Age Defying Caviar Balm, made by Pevonia Botanica, is a soothing after shave that also acts as a sunscreen, calming the skin while providing vital protection.

All-Day Lip Color

Many of the lipsticks, glosses and plumpers on the market claim they are wearable all day long; however, many of these don’t live up to their claims. For intense lip color that lasts all day, I recommend first treating your lips with an exfoliating treatment like NeoStrata AHA Lip Conditioner, which incorporates alpha hydroxy acids with a small amount of vitamin E to give just the right amount of moisture.

Lining the lips with a lip liner also helps to keep lip color from smudging, and obviously gives more definition to the lips, drawing more attention to them. I recommend trying Colorescience Lip Pencil in Simply Mauvelous, or whichever color best matches your skin tone or look.

And for the ultimate in long lasting lip color, finish with Lip Polish Wands, also from Colorescience, in your favorite or preferred color. Once applied, this product should be allowed to absorb fully to ensure optimal color all day long. Color will last well through out the day, you may even wake up with a bit of color still not kissed off.

Regimen for Mature Skin

Mature skin products and regimens often seem to be left out of the skin care industry as a whole; however, this is an age where skin care is absolutely vital to maintaining healthy skin and preventing further aging.

Pevonia Botanica Timeless Myoxy Caviar Balm Cleanser uses pure caviar to help address the later stages of aging. This cleanser comes in a rich foaming lather that helps to hydrate mature skin as it looses essential moisture.

Timeless Myoxy Caviar Repair Lotion, also by Pevonia Botanica, is highly recommended to use after its collection cleanser for maximum results of firming and lifting.

Pevonia offers results unheard of by combining these two products with their Timeless Myoxy Caviar Repair Cream and Timeless Myoxy Caviar Repair Serum. Ingredients such as escutox and caviar work synergistically to improve texture and elasticity in the skin, which is visually lost as we age.

Pevonia Botanica offers a regimen for mature skin that is so results driven, that one will see and feel results from this regimen in only a matter of time.

Get ready for Sunscreen

With the dawning of spring comes an inviting setting for outdoor activities: warmer temperatures, longer days and more opportunities for fun everywhere you look. It may only be March, but wearing a sunscreen is essential if you plan on spending any amount of time outdoors. Even if you're planning a drive that's longer than 15 minutes, be prepare for protection.

Since being unveiled in the US last fall, one of the most popular sunscreens is Anthelios SX. This moisturizing sunscreen provides the highest level of protection against UVA rays, which are the ones you really need to worry about this time of year.

Protect against sun rays and harmful free radicals with Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30, which also comes in a tinted version that adds a "sun-kissed" appearance.

Pevonia Botanica Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 is a great option for use on the body, as it least the skin smooth and soft while providing a subtle, natural perfume.

Exfoliating Cleansers

Cleansing is a daily step in every skin care regimen that eliminates pore clogging debris from the skin. Exfoliating helps to remove dulling cells that accentuate signs of aging such as fine lines and discolorations. Why not get the best of both worlds by adding an exfoliating cleanser to your regimen?

Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser from Pevonia Botanica is formulated with jojoba beads and citric acid, providing a combination chemical and manual exfoliation while eliminating built-up debris and excess oil.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser uses glycolic acid in a gentle soap-free formula to unclog pores and soften the skin.

Lastly, CosMedix Purity Clean uses chirally correct L-Lactic Acid to purge the skin of dulling cells without irritation.

Men’s Skincare

Everyone has different characteristics of their skin: type, tone, texture, pores size, thickness, etc. Men’s skin is different compared to women’s skin. Men’s skin is generally a little thicker and is many times less sensitive compared to women’s, which is why men’s skin should be treated differently.

Men generally prefer a foaming cleanser that gives their skin that squeaky clean feeling. Phytomer Homme Global Pur Detoxifying Cleansing Gel is perfect for men. It provides a rich lather, but does not contain any feminine fragrance so men will actually use it.

Exfoliating should be a essential part of a man's regimen. Men also tend to be a little more on the oily side, too. Nivea Energizing Face Scrub for Men sloughs off dead skin cells, giving a smoother, more even look to the skin.

All in all it’s hard to get a man to use anything on his face, let a long a 5 step regimen. That is why multi-functional products such as Jack Black Double Duty Moisturizer SPF 20 is ideal. It hydrates and moisturizes, and contains sun protection, perfect for an outdoors guy or any man for that matter.

The Benefits of Pomegranate Extract

Pomegranate extract and pomegranate juice have become widely used substances recently. Why? Pomegranate as a whole delivers 40% of a human’s daily vitamin C requirement. Pomegranate extract is also highly popular because it does not contain any sugar, calories or additives of any kind, and it absorbed by the body to allow the extract to be used.

Additionally, pomegranate contains folic acid, which is responsible for the development of new cells and is beneficial to one's health in whole, and antioxidants, which fight free radical damage done to the skin through environmental aggressors and sun damage.

Not only is pomegranate beneficial to the skin and the skin's cells, but has been shown to be helpful in reducing overall health risks. Dr. Brandt Anti-Oxidant Water Booster/Pomegranate Green Tea is a perfect way to utilize this amazing extract, along with a topical treatment like Eminence Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub.

Rejuvenate From the Inside Out

The skin care industry has grown dramatically in the years with amazing technically advanced products and ideas. Skin care supplements are a recent development in the industry, but serve an important role in your skin's overall health and well-being.

Oral supplements help your skin by treating it from the inside out, and are proving their importance in one's daily skin care regimen. Supplements have been created to perform functions such as maintaining the appearance of aging, minimizing sun damage done to the skin, clear skin congestion, deliver antioxidants to the body so that they may radiate the skin on the outside and complete anyone’s daily regimen.

Jan Marini C-Estamins Nutritional Skin Care Supplements are a perfect example of supplements that work by preventing premature aging and reducing sun damage such as hyperpigmentation and skin clarity.

Antioxidants work by fighting off free radical scavengers that attack the skin and damage its living cells. Caudalie Vinocaps Nutritional Supplements give the body and skin a boost of antioxidants from pure grape and grapeseed extracts to prevent this unwanted damage.
