My Favorite Sheet Mask
Verso Intense Facial Mask
With superior technology and a game changing ingredient like Retinol 8 this mask has all the tricks!
Verso was founded by Lars Fredrikson who developed a stabilized form of Vitamin A that is supposedly 8 times more effective than regular Retinol.
This is a very straight forward, no fuss skincare line that is designed to get straight to the point of your skincare needs.
This mask is made with a hydrogel and includes the Retinol 8 so it is incredibly hydrated and antiaging leaving your skin soft, plump and glowing.
I would suggest using it after a medium grade peel like a Alph/Beta peel or even after Microneedling would be a great way to introduce these effective ingredients deep into the skin.
At $45 USD for a 4 Pack it is definitely worth the price!

Today's Beauty Tip:
Botox and Zinc
Very few people know (including many Doctors) that taking the Mineral Supplement Zinc a few days before and after your Botox Injections can actually boost the duration your Botox lasts up to 30%! The effects of Botox usually last between 3 to 6 months depending on your body's metabolism and your lifestyle.
Taking Zinc orally paired with a Digestive Enzyme a few days before and after your treatment has been shown to make the Botox work better and last longer than without these supplements.
Zinc has long been proven a great guard against flu viruses and in general a healthy immune booster but now you have yet another reason to take your Vitamins and Minerals!
My favorite Zinc Supplement is Vitamin Code Raw Zinc by Garden of Life

Today's Beauty Tip:
Looking Picture Perfect!

We are doing a lot more Video Calls these days and everyone is still into capturing Selfies so here are a few tips to look your very best.

1. Face Toward the Main Light Source
This means facing the light is your most flattering lighting always! Avoid being lit from the side or even worse overhead lighting which casts unflattering shadows that can make you look tired or older.

2. Always look at the Camera Lens not the Screen.

3. Hold your Cell Phone or Position your Computer where you're being filmed at Eye Level or a little Higher.
This has a Slimming Effect and it is your most flattering angle.

4. Don't get Too Close!
You'll look much better if you allow the camera to catch you from Mid Chest upwards allowing a bit of space above your head. Too close means people have a better view of your flaws and it can actually look a bit spooky!

Hope this helps! xoxo BB

Today's Beauty Tip:
A Natural and Inexpensive Way To Prevent Dark Circles Under the Eyes...

ARNICA
Arnica Gel has been called a Miracle for treating Dark Under Eye Circles.
The main reason for dark circles is usually Lack of Sleep but Allergies and the Enviroment as well as Hormonal Changes and not drinking enough Water are also contributors to this condition. Arnica is also great for Bruises.
Arnica is a plant in the same family as the Sunflower.
The way Arnica works on Dark Circles and Bruises is by boosting circulation of the white blood cells. The active ingredients in Arnica have the same properties as Caffeine which is why Arnica is also a great remedy for Puffiness and Swelling.
The Best Way to use Arnica Gel in my opinion is by keeping the tube in your refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
Apply the gel with your ring finger by gently dabbing it completely around your orbital area while avoiding getting it too close to your eyes.
Gently dabbing and massaging the Arnica Gel in a circular motion helps to stimulate Blood and Lymph Vessels to release and clear.
Always do a skin test on the inside of your arm before trying it around your eyes in the rare case you may be allergic.
Most Health Food Stores should carry Arnica Gel. My Favorite is the 365 Everyday Value brand at Whole Foods Market.

Today's Beauty Tip:
Dry Brushing!

Ever heard of it?
Dry Brushing is a Kind of Ayurvedic Medicine.
It is great for Exfoliating the Skin, Helps to Release Toxins, Reduce Cellulite (at least temporarily) and has been found to help with the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris which is Rough, Red Bumpy Skin that often appears on the Back of the Upper Arms.
Dry Brushing is done using a Natural Fiber Brush with a detachable Long Handle and gently brushing the skin directly without using water.
You start on the tops of your feet and work your way upwards gently brushing in upward strokes.
Not only is it relaxing it can also be quite stimulating.
It's often suggested to Dry Brush in the morning before showering to remove Dead Skin Cells and Encourage the release of Lymph that collects in the body over night.
Most Dry Brushes can be found in Local Health Food Stores or Amazon and Whole Foods also have them along with Dry Brushing kits.

Today's Beauty Tip:
Mascara!

I'm often asked by clients what's my Favorite Mascara?
I actually have two:

1. Lord and Berry Alchimia High Definition Mascara

https://www.lordandberry.com/usa/makeup/eyes/mascaras.html
I personally use this one and I Love it!
If you want Crazy Long Defined Lashes get this one!

2. Pat McGrath Labs Fe**sh Eyes Mascara
This is also a good one. It lengthens and defines.
My only problem with it is I find (sometimes) it will leave dots under my eyes or just under my eyebrows if I don't apply enough powder.

https://www.sephora.com/product/fetish-eyes-mascara-P440967

If you're looking for a good Waterproof Mascara Too Faced Better Than S*x Waterproof Mascara is my go to.

Today's Beauty Tip:
Teeth Whitening!

As we get closer to being let out of our cages it's important to put our Best Face forward. I predict we will be doing a lot of smiling as we get back to socializing and reuniting with our friends and loved ones.

The very best Whitening System out the (in my opinion) is Watts Power Smile by Watts Beauty

https://wattsbeauty.com/index.html

The system comes with a Remineralization Gel to Protect your Enamel and reduce sensitivity near your gums.
I will usually leave the trays in for the length of time it takes me to get in and out of the shower which is approximately 30 minutes and WOW! You will be shocked how White and Bright your teeth will be! And guess what? It's Kosher for those of who follow strict dietary guidelines. You can also find Watts Power Smile for a ridiculously great price on Amazon:

Have a great evening everyone and remember, Beauty Becomes you when you Become the Beauty xoxo BB

Today's Beauty Tip:

Lips 💋
Yesterday I went into depth about Eyes so today let's focus on your Lips!
Just a little time focused on caring for your lips can really make a difference.
My favorite Exfoliating method is Skinlogics Lip Apeel
https://beauticontrol.balmlip.net/beauticontrol-lip-apeel.html
Made by Beauti Control this is a thick white cream that you spread completely over the entire lip area and wait about 5 to 10 minutes while Natural Enzymes go to work dissolving layers of dead, dry skin. Best yet, this is a 2 in 1 product because the top of the jar contains an amazing Lip Balm you apply afterwards. You won't believe how soft and silky your lips will feel!
If you're trying to fend off those peskly fine lines around the lips Intraceuticals Atoxelene Line Wand is like Botox in a Lip Wand with a brush applicator.
https://intraceuticals.com/locator/?product=21
Finally, for Lip Conditioning and Plumping without the stinging and dehydrating my favorite day and night lip product is City Beauty City Lips
https://citybeauty.com/city-lips.php
This looks similar to a gloss without the stickiness and your lips drink up the Hyaluronic Acid which is the key ingredient.
City Lips also comes in a variety of colors so it has the benefits of a lip treatment you can wear as a Lip Gloss!

Tomorrow let's talk Teeth Whitening!
Stay Safe and Healthy Sweet Friends xoxo BB

Today's Beauty Tip:
Let's Talk Eyes!

I have some favorites when it comes to your Eye Care products I'd like to share.
My favorite Day Time Eye Cream is La Prarie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream
https://www.laprairie.com/default/skin-caviar-collection/luxe-eye-cream/95790-01252-02.html
This is a Light as Air eye cream that works almost instantly Hydrating, Lifting and Brightening the area around your eyes.
It is rather pricey but it is very concentrated so a little goes a long way!
In the Evenings I use La Mer The Eye Concentrate Cream https://www.cremedelamer.com/product/20652/74983/face/eye-treatments/the-eye-concentrate

When I feel I need some extra Hydration and Soothing around my eyes. This is also of high dollar value but it's even more concentrated than the La Prarie and I mostly use it in the Winter Time only.

Lashes!!!
My Lash Routine goes like this:
1st I apply Alphalash Eyelash Serum
This is THE BEST EYELASH SERUM EVER!!!
https://www.almondblossom.us/products/alphalash-eyelash-serum
It starts working within 2 weeks and it grows and thickens your Lashes. You have to get this through a Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon but it's worth it!
Next I apply Embryolisse Secret De Maquilleurs Lash Conditioner.
https://embryolisse.fr/collections/secret-de-maquilleurs

This hydrates and strengthens my lashes but it is a Pro Inside Secret line and not easy to get so my next choice is
Lash Food Conditioning Collagen Lash Primer
https://lashfood.com/products/lashfood-conditioning-lash-primer-with-fiber
This not only Strengthens and Conditions but it makes a wonderful Thickening Primer before you apply your Mascara!

Finally, the very best eye drops out there so far is Lumify
https://www.lumifydrops.com/

Before they came out with Lumify Drops I carried in my kit and also personally used Naphcon A eye drops
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Naphcon-A-Allergy-Eye-Drops-1-0-Fl-Oz/44621809
This product also whitens and brightens quickly.

Tomorrow let's focus on Lips!
Have a Wonderful Evening Everyone!!!
