Maintaining Healthy Skin

Proper moisture balance is essential for healthy skin. It Rebalances oil production, keeps skin supple, prevents lines & wrinkles, and acts as a protective barrier from environmental stresses. Jurliques moisturizers focus on using the correct combination of organic ingredients to target individual skin conditions, rebalance the skins moisture and return it to its natural, healthiest state.

What You Need To Know About Serums

Serums are an important addition to one's daily skin care routine. They allow deeper penetration of the active ingredients in the products you use. Eminence Serums are one of the highest quality serums available on the market. One Serum can target multiple skin conditions! Depigmentation, Anti-Aging, Hydration, and Rejuvenation are greatly increased through the routine use of Eminence Serums.

Eyebrows make a difference

Eyebrows create a frame for the eyes. They accentuate the eyes and enhance beauty. Whether yours add to or detract from your look depends on following recommendations for eyebrows in the design of this ever important feature. Those guidelines included aligning the end tip of the brow with the guide line created by the nostril and outer corner of the eye. A professional makeup artist or esthetician can help you create a more beautiful look. Then, the upkeep is easy! Call Le Reve for an eyebrow appointment to bring our your beautiful best!

10 Great Tips To Keep Your Skin Healthy!

1. Wash your face at least twice each day, using a pure chemical free product such as Jurliques Purifying Foaming Cleanser if you have oily or congested skin or Jurliques Balancing Foaming Cleanser if you are looking to maintain balance and hydration, and rinse with clean water. Warm water opens pores, so wash with warm water. Cold water closes pores, so splash your face with cold water after washing to ensure that your pores are protected from the environment.

2. Reduce the use of cosmetics as much as possible. These clog pores. If you must wear makeup, make sure that you are using hypoallergenic products, or products for sensitive skin like La Bella Donna's Mineral Make-Up Line which is especially designed to not clog pores. Splash your face with cold water before applying, and make sure you wash all the makeup away before going to bed.

3. Keep you hair and hands off your face. Hair and hands contain oils that can cause acne breakouts. When applying creams or makeup to the face, use applicators - not your hands. Don't lean with your hands on your face either. Keep your hair pulled back off your face.

4. Hydrate the body - and the skin - with water. Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Water helps to detoxify our bodies, and our skin, ridding us of elements that make us ill, as well as elements that can cause acne.

5. Eat a well balanced diet, and make sure that you include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain quite a bit of natural vitamin A and vitamin E, which is essential to good skin care. This is critical to clearing up problematic congested skin or just to maintain clear skin. The oil that surfaces on your skin is actually 80% cholesterol and 20% bacteria. So what we are eating contributes a lot to clogged pores and oily skin.

6. Don't avoid the sun altogether, because that isn't healthy, but limit your time in the sun, and use a good sunscreen we recommend to all of our clients Jurlique Sun Lotion SPF30 because it is also a moisturizer. Overexposure to the sun, or ultraviolet rays, can not only cause acne, but it can cause skin to age quickly. It can also cause skin cancer.

7. Don't squeeze pimples, or pick at any sores when you pick a pimple you actually damage the protective barrier that your white cells have guarding the bacteria from spreading. Picking can cause the spread of acne, and it can leave scars as well. Instead, treat the pimples and sores with topical ointments and creams we recommend Jurliques Blemish Cream which is a natural skin-toned coverage cream, rich in the living energy of calendula, witch hazel, self heal and tea tree oil, to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and soothes the problem area.

8. Make sure that you get plenty of rest. When we sleep, our bodies basically reset. Hormones and chemicals are produced that are not produced when we are awake. You need at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Sleep is good for the skin.

9. Stress is bad for the skin. Just as good hormones and chemicals are produced and released when we sleep, bad hormones and chemicals are produced when we are stressed. Avoid stress as much as possible, and learn to do deep breathing exercises, or other stress reducing techniques, for those times when you are stressed.

10. Treat yourself to a day spa twice a month for the ultimate skin care experience. Not only is this quite relaxing, it is great for the skin. The Le Reve spa operators will be able to give you more professional tips to clear skin. Also you can find all the products mentioned in our tips on Le Reve shelves
