BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine About Natural Vitamin E The role of natural vitamin E on the skin, as studies show, is to slow down the aging process, by promoting the bridging of the collagen and maintaining the elasticity and firmness. To experience greater results, the user must be dedicated to stay on the recommended regime and not waiver. The storage of vitamin E in the cells is of short duration as it is used up in the action of cleaning the impurities and freeing the cells from free radicals. So, replenishing faithfully twice daily is very important. As the creator of these natural formulations which I have used for over a decade now, I have seen immeasurable results in my complexion. In my mid 50"s I was suffering from blemishes, dryness due to severe allergies. In the following years, using these products, I have measured changes in my skin with increased suppleness and smoothness despite the years. This to me was living proof of their effectiveness. Beauty Tips I would like to share with you my BEAUTY TIPS that can make your daily beauty regimen all so easy and fruitful. First, some emphasis on the importance of: Beauty Botanical Facial Wash The Facial Wash requires only a small amount (size of a quarter) on the natural sea silk sponge provided. The cleansing botanical extracts are known for their abilities to free the pores from impurities using lots of water to rinse off. I don't recommend exfoliating gels or lotions with harsh abrasive particles as they scratch and damage the delicate epidermis. Used regularly, the Botanical Wash can effectively remove commodomes and the ugly sight of black heads including other impurities. Clean healthy skin has fine pores. Do not overlook the neck and cleavage area as, with age, the appearance of commodomes become imbedded and are impossible to remove unless surgically. By cleansing this difficult area regularly with the facial wash you prevent these problems from occurring in the future. In the shower: Keep a bottle of Wash with a large sponge available to use and thereby maintaining a regular program of proper gentle deep cleansing of the body skin. Most body soaps sold today are mostly antiseptics, detergents, silicones and anti-bacterial agents that cause harm rather than good by sensitizing the skin. In the bath: The Wash can also be very effective in the bath as a way to soothe your skin by soaking and receiving the benefits of the botanical extracts. These are known to relieve stress and tired muscles. It will not induce irritation to the mucous membranes. Following are some specifics on how to use the Botanical Wash and other products: Botanical Facial Wash Botanical Facial Wash: for very dry skin The Wash is effective for 90% of users as it is. Special circumstances: A. Need more emollients in their solution of cleanser. The answer is to blend an equal amount of wash with your favorite Cream or Lotion. Mix in your hands and spread over the face in a circular motion, cleansing the eyes first and then proceed with face and neck. B. Easy removal of Eye Make up (mascara). Mix 1/2 oz of Facial Wash with water in 2 oz bottle; Block opening with a small sponge letting it protrude slightly. Squeeze and rub gently over the closed eye. Voila! your own eye cleanser perfect tool that removes mascara gently without stinging the very delicate eye area. 2. Botanical Facial Wash in the bath. Pour a capful under running tap water. The very effective rich, soothing Herbal Botanical wash will not cause vaginitis as most detergent type formulas sold today. For even more benefits keep a decanter on your vanity or shelf, mix relaxing herbs with your wash to relieve stress and relax tired muscles. 3. Botanical Wash used for softening and cleaning nails and cuticles. Mix Facial Wash, in a jar, with water. Using a soft brush clean under nails; soak fingers several minutes. This process helps the softening of cuticles. BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Rose Water - Clarifying lotion 1. Night Moisturizing with Rose Water. After cleaning your skin (not immediately retiring) apply your moisturizing cream of your choice on your face and mist the Rose Water on face and neck. Massage this area in a rotating motion. It is a good exercise that brings oxygen to the skin. If you are retiring for the night, re-apply the cream of your choice for the night for maximum results. 2. Moisturizing with Rose Water in adjustments to weather: On hot and humid days. Lighten to your taste the moisturizing cream by spraying Rose Water over cream and tap lightly with fingers to dry. On dry windy days. Mix the day with the Nite Renewal Cream 1/2 and 1/2) in a small jar and give yourself an extra dose of Vitamin E on days when you feel the need for more moisture on your skin. Clarifying Rose Water is a very special element of the regime. I recommend that you use it daily. 1. Always spray rose water after cleansing your skin. 2. Always spray Rose Water previous to applying foundation. This process makes easier, smoother spreading and gives a more natural look. 3. On very hot days, refrigerate your Rose Water and use it over all your body and face as an elegant refresher and bring it to the beach. 4. Being allergic to perfumes, I use our Rose Water for it's fresh scent and clean fragrance. BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Nite Renewal or Nite Repair Cream 1. Mter cleansing, Nite Renewal can be used not only on the face but, on neck and cleavage. 2. Concentrate on rough areas like elbows and heels by keeping an old cotton sock open at both ends and leave in place (on elbows and heels) to maintain a concentrated treatment through the night. Surprise! No rough heels and elbows! Try this for a week. 3. Scars and small size warts that won't go away. Apply the Nite Repair Cream generously and cover overnight with a small gauze. Repeat until you can't see it any more. 4. Stretch marks. The extra strength Vitamin E when applied to the stomach area and breasts is beneficial to keep the skin soft and smooth thereby preventing or correcting stretch tissue. The High Value of our natural vitamin E helps to firm and smooth delicate tissue. BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Body Lotion 1. Body Lotion after bath/shower. Apply immediately for easier application. 2. Body lotion as treatment on hair after washing. Gently rub into the scalp and hair. Then dry. It makes the hair shiny and easier to set. 3. Body lotion as hair fixer instead of chemically formulated formaldehyde gluing spray agents which are very damaging to the skin (forehead, temples etc.) I have seen so many badly damaged "acne-like" complexions due to hair sprays. Here's a SIMPLE SOLUTION: Using a Body Lotion bottle, leave 1/3 of lotion in bottle and add 1/3 Witch Hazel and 1/3 Aloe gel. Use spray to "FIX" hair after combing. Smooth and let dry. You should be very satisfied with the results considering you are not using formaldehyde causing agent thereby saving your skin. (no glue)     BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Foundation 1. Foundation is liquid Vitamin E base. Since the foundation is designed to blend with the moisturizer it makes sense that you simplify the application by immediately blending the foundation over the applied cream for a very smooth finish. 2. For a lighter cover of Foundation spray the Rose Water over the Cream (moisturizer) application then apply the foundation. It will be so light no one will know you have foundation on. 3. Foundation over "hard to cover" spots. After the foundation has been applied and feels dried apply a mix of the foundation and our powder (on a tissue) and rub gently over area until smooth. Re-apply powder with soft brush and smooth out the edges. Disappeared! BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Blush for cheeks 1. Blush applied. First, use very little and apply with finger to highlight high cheekbone. Let dry, then use a large face powder brush to smooth out. Then finish with Beige lite or Beige medium powder (your choice) all over. Some of my clients like to use the Blush on their eyelids for a real bright eye look. BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Eye pencils I Lip pencils 1. Pencil applications. Moisten pencil tip with water for easier application. You will create a dramatic look that is long lasting. 2. Lip Pencil Suggestion. I suggest powdering a tiny line above the pencil line with powder. This will make it more permanent and it will not bleed so easily. BEAUTY TIPS by Madeleine Lipstick, Lip Balm 1. Lip Balm has been used by many of my clients for more than "just for lips". They apply it on their eyelashes and then curl them and they appear thicker and healthier 2. Lipstick are very rich and moisturizing without being greasy. Always, first line with lip liner which may also be dipped in water for a sharper looking line, then apply lipstick. Finish with powder for a long lasting finish..
