Dehydrated skin is a skin condition that occurs when there's a lack of water in the skin. Dehydrated skin typically looks dull and can show premature signs of aging, like surface wrinkles and loss of elasticity. #StayHydrated
Never will we forget what happened in 2001.
Easier said than done, right?
I totally get it, but stress wreaks havoc on your body, both physically and mentally. Find an outlet where you can relax, and that can be - exercise, reading, cooking, singing, a massage, or even a facial or manicure! Start making healthy habits, so you can enjoy a more relaxing life!
So, you've got Melasma or skin discoloration (see previous post), and you're looking to treat it?
It's a 3-month cycle of working on it with spot treating with correctives, but I recommend Rhonda Allison's Naturale Mega Brightening Serum and while using other brightening products to compliment it - RA's Skin Brightening Cleanser, SB Enzyme, SB Lotion (toner), and Rhonda Allison's Brightening Cream Enhanced can be used daily without the need to cycle off. πππ
If you still aren't sure, I encourage a regimen evaluation seasonally, and it can be over FaceTime!
Melasma & it's triggers!
Melasma is a tan or dark skin discoloration. Melasma is thought to be caused by sun exposure, genetic predisposition, hormone changes, and skin irritation. Are you struggling with Melasma?
Self-Care isn't Selfish!
Whatever your self-care looks like (maybe a manicure or facial?), taking that time for yourself is important!
Treat yourself to polish that you will love! π
What is your favorite part of October? π
Did you know?! π
Avoid these products!
π Apricot Scrub - Using the St. Ives Apricot Scrub as a facial exfoliant leads to long-term skin damage, because it's primary exfoliating ingredient is crushed walnut shell, which has jagged edges that cause micro-tears in the skin.
π Makeup Wipes - They're bad for your skin and the environment. At best, they smear around your makeup, but at worst - they are filled with harmful, irritating chemicals. Because they don't clean your skin, a better alternative is double-cleansing!
π Coconut Oil - We love coconut oil for lots of other uses, just don't put it on your face! Coconut oil blocks pores and cause blackheads.
π Pore Strips - While it's satisfying to see how much gunk is on the strip when you pull it off, those benefits do not outweigh the damage they create! A pore strips doesn't prevent or treat anything, and they can even damage your pores, causing them to be BIGGER!
Premature aging comes from sun damage!
One side-effect of sun damage is dark spots or melasma. Wearing an SPF is so important, but when dark spots do arise, Rhonda Allison has products to brighten them. Try the Brightening Cream Enhanced, because it can be used daily without the need to cycle off.
Thank goodness itβs fall! Hereβs your reminder to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.
Shopping at small, local businesses helps your community! In the case of a spa owner, I use the money for more education, updates to the spa, equipment, and more. Also, A Beautiful You pays local taxes that go to support public schools, parks, roads, and sidewalks, as well as fund public service workers, like firefighters.
Make the choice to support small businesses this holiday season. They need your help!
Words to live by! π
Even if you like a full coverage foundation, having healthy skin is still the most important part of your makeup routine! That's why it's important to have regular facials and a skincare regimen that's designed for your specific skin type.
With respect, honor, and gratitude, we thank you, Veterans! πΊπΈ
#SkinTip Change Your Pillowcases!
Sleeping night after night on the same pillowcase creates an environment where more and more skin oil and bacteria collects on the pillow. Anything you can do to minimize the transfer of acne-causing bacteria around your face will help cut down on breakouts. So, take your skincare routine a step further by washing your pillowcases before you go to bed!
Today is the Day!

Posted @withregram β’ @usembassyghana Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to the nonviolent struggle for racial equality in the United States. The third Monday in January marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. holiday that honors Kingβs legacy and challenges citizens to engage in volunteer service in their communities.
During the 1963 March on Washington, King declared that all people should be judged not βby the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.β The King Center in Atlanta is a living memorial to Kingβs vision of a free and equal world dedicated to expanding opportunity, fighting racism and ending all forms of discrimination.
