Winter is here...Check out these skincare tips......

💖Winter Skincare Tips Winter is here! The snow and sub-zero temperatures are around.  We may not be looking forward to the cold, but we still want to be prepared for it, so here are some simple skin care rules for staying gorgeous when winter comes.      Don't skip the sunscreen Just because the sun isn't shining as brightly as it was in July doesn't mean you can put your sunscreen away until next summer. It may not be bathing suit weather (more like multiple layers weather), but protecting your skin from the sun's rays is still a complexion must. Look for a broad spectrum sunscreen (one that offers both UVA and UVB protection) with an SPF of at least 15. Find a face-specific product like Raysela Face Protector SPF30+  and apply before your day cream (let dry first) and then follow with the remaining steps of your beauty routine. Stay hydrated Sipping on a cool beverage may not be your first choice during the winter months, but it's just as im

Proper Contouring.

Proper Contouring. When applied right, contouring can define your cheekbones and jaw line, reduce the look of a double chin, minimize a larger nose, and lift sagging eyes. It’s basically using makeup to highlight and accentuate your features. This is especially important for photos, as the camera tends to pick up shadows and highlights better than the naked eye. There are actual contouring and h ighlighting powders made just for this, but you can also use a bronzer or powder that is a few shades darker than your skin, and a foundation that is a few shades lighter for highlighting. For the most part, your t-zone and under eye area is where you want to highlight, and the outer portion of your face, underneath your cheekbones, and your neck is where you want to define with a darker color. Keep in mind, blending is key for a natural look! This may take some practice at first. . Personally, I prefer to use powder contouring products over a foundation. Jeanine's Natural Noe

Those troublesome Blackheads......

Those troublesome Blackheads...... Although blackheads may look like dirt spots, they are actually pores filled with oil deposits and dead skin cells. Because blackheads actually occur below the skin's surface, no amount of scrubbing your face will get rid of the blackheads. If you have got just a few here and there, try the Noevir Herbal Skincare Line as an effective blackhead treatment.  The line contains Mytilus Glycogen to revitalize the skin. As well, the Noevir Herbal Skincare line also contains Linden and Sage extracts to smooth, soften and exfoliate dead skin cells to minimize future buildup and helps to reveal healthy, glowing skin.   Exfoliation is a vital step in a regular skincare routine to prevent blackheads  and thoroughly remove excess oil or particles trapped within the skin's epidermis. To exfoliate the skin and prevent future blackhead breakouts, try Noevir's  Quick Recovery Mask   2-3 times a week in place of

The Botox-Free Guide To Looking Younger

As we get older, our skin begins to lose elasticity as a result of damage to the collagen and elastin fibers , as well as age-related changes to the fat pads under our skin. "Most of this damage is from the sun, but lifestyle factors such as smoking can also cause skin to lose elasticity faster," says Dr. Anne Chapas, a dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in NYC. For many women, this signals that it's time to reach for injectables like Botox or Restalyne to help re-plump a sagging visage. Research shows most dermatologists say  there are very few downsides to using these types of fillers and wrinkle relaxers, provided they are administered properly and in moderation by your doctor, but haven't we all seen one too many Real Housewives episodes to be down with shooting our faces up with chemicals. That's why a variety of health experts such as — an acupuncturist, a nutritionist, and two dermatologists — weigh in on the latest anti-aging alternatives .

Soft touch.... The benefits of facial massage

Want younger-looking skin? Here's the rub: Facial massage can firm, smooth and sculpt.       Beauty secrets of the Far East have long held appeal for Western women. But it's only recently that one of their key anti-aging weapons has entered the spotlight. Facial massage - a series of hand manipulation techniques that relax muscles and increase circulation - has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for more than 1,000 years to maintain health and beauty. Now, some of the biggest beauty brands are offering products that work best when coupled with specific massage techniques. "The theory in TCM is that your facial appearance is a reflection of your body's internal condition," says Mary Xiumei Wu, a doctor of TCM and president of the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "For instance, a kidney deficiency can show up as deep, dark circles under your eyes." While massage alone won't treat inter
