How to renew the skin after the winter? The procedure in 4 steps.

After the winter skin is in bad shape. There is a lot of reasons for it: winter diet richer in fat and lower in vitamins,  the time you spend mostly in the warmth of the house, air conditioning. It's no wonder that the skin is not oxygenated, devoid of firmness and seems older. To refresh the skin, I suggest the procedure in four steps.

Step one - cleansing.
Start by removing makeup from the eyes and mouth, and then the rest of your face, till to the chin and neck. Gentle stroke the skin and massage it. Remember to not rub and stretch. Best used cosmetic wipes wetted preparation to wash and change them until the last will be completely clean.
The recommended product: Double Phase Makeup Remover.

Step two - peeling.
Exfoliation of dead skin cells improves skin color for two reasons. First, we get rid of the dead layer of the epidermis, which usually has a grayish color. Secondly, massage when applying the product stimulates blood circulation in the skin and it becomes more beautiful color. Mechanical peels used for skin thicker: oily or mixed - the outer layer of the epidermis is removed, thanks to particles contained in the preparation.
The recommended product: Olive Oil Salt Scrub.
The enzymatic peeling is more appropriate to dry skin. Plant enzymes, included in its composition, dissolve dead skin without the need of friction.
The recommended product: Exfoliating Peeling Mask.

Step three - tonic or mask.
Tonic or mask is best used after peeling, because cleansed skin absorb more nutrients.
The recommended products: Aloe Vera Freshener, Relaxing Beauty Mask.

Step fourth - cream or serum.
After the winter choose products with vitamin C that brightens the skin, protects it from free radicals, strengthens blood vessels and stimulates collagen production. Excellent effects also give: vitamin A (revitalizes, smoothes the skin, lightens pigmentation), vitamin D (smoothes the skin surface, regulates the function of melanocytes).
The recommended products: Restorative Eye Cream, Eye and Neck Cream, Moisturizing Day Cream.
It is also worth to try intensely active serum with vitamin C and minerals. Preparations types serum often contain illuminating pigments, i.e. invisible to the naked eye the particles, which scatter the light, so the skin appears smoother and wrinkles - shallower.
The recommended products: Eye Lifting Serum, Face Serum.

This procedure is well to repeat in a week. I wish you beauty. ;)

In 2017 be good to yourself.

Ever since last year in the pages of the portal lennyletter.com, Alicia Keys published her famous "manifesto": "Time to Uncover", which encourages women to stop hiding themselves under makeup, on Instagram began to appear photos of women without makeup. Celebrities have joined to the trend, and the number of photographs with the #nomakeup hashtag soon exceeded 13 million.
Also calendar for 2017 years released by Pirelli is decorated in a similar style. It includes portraits of actresses nearly makeup-free. The author of photos, German photographer Peter Lindbergh titled the calendar “Emotional”.
I wanted to portray women not in terms of their perfection, but through their feelings and emotions. That’s why I called this edition of the Calendar Emotional: not some artificial perfection, but the real world and the emotions that well up behind the faces of these women - Lindbergh said. The calendar includes portraits of actresses Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, Helen Mirren, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlotte Rampling, Lea Seydoux, Uma Thurman, Alicia Vikander, Kate Winslet, Robin Wright and Zhang Ziyi. Lindbergh also photographed a Russian political theory professor, Anastasia Ignatova. Rather than putting make-up on women before a photo shoot, Lindbergh captures their natural beauty and doesn’t retouch the pics.

In a time when women are represented in the media and everywhere else, as ambassadors of perfection and youth, I thought it was important to remind everyone that there is a different beauty, more real and truthful and not manipulated by commercial or any other interests, a beauty which speaks about individuality, courage to be yourself and your own private sensibility - said Lindbergh.
Photographs from the calendar confirms the thesis that the makeup for women is a supplement, not a main element of her image, it is to emphasize the qualities of beauty, and not replace it. More important than how we think, that we should look, is that with what we feel good. So in 2017 be good for yourself.

How to get rid of dark spots and lighten the skin?

How to get rid of dark spots and lighten the skin
Freckles give a woman glamour, but if on our face appear dark spots, it's not so funny. The blame for the darker or lighter skin spots carries the pigment located in the skin: melanin. The more it is, the skin has a darker hue. This pigment protects the skin from harmful UV radiation. Exposed to the sun, skin produces it more, to create a barrier against UV radiation. The result is suntan. Melanin also causes dark spots, that are the result of its uneven deployment.
The formation of discoloration is primarily related to hormonal and genetic factors and exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation, and therefore a key element to combat hyperpigmentation on the skin is sun protection. When there will appear unwanted changes on the skin, you should protect your skin from the sun. Protection will provide eg. a good sunscreen, preferably with a high UV protection (50+). The most common places of occurrence of hyperpigmentation are: the face, neck and backs of your hands. To get rid of dark spots, before we choose a more invasive methods, we can try first household remedies:
LEMON JUICE
Vitamin C, contained in lemon, can whiten unwanted stain. The easiest way: you can put slices of lemon on the dark spots on the skin (30 minutes). You can also wipe places on the skin with a cotton ball, soaked with lemon, sugar and honey (juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons of honey).

BAKING SODA
Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a little water and put it on the dark spot. After a few minutes, we wash off with water. Soda gives lightening skin effect.

The Secret of Retinol (Vitamin A).

 	
retinol and vitamin a

The Vitamin of Youth
Vitamin A is one of the first open-vitamins, hence its designation as the first letter of the alphabet. Vitamin A belongs to the vitamins of youth, its stimulating effect reduces the changes that occur along with the aging process.
Our body produces vitamin A itself, but with age and exposure to UV radiation, this process weakens. In the result the outer layer of skin becomes thinner and its ability to store water decreases. Connective tissue fibers lose elasticity. The skin becomes dry, over time, the first wrinkles appear. Vitamin A used in cosmetics acts in various forms, such as Retinol, Retinoid, Retinal, retinol Esters or Beta-carotene. Retinol is vitamin A in its purest form.
Retinol primarily stimulates the growth of new cells. Due to this, wrinkles are fill from within, and they are less visible. It should be noted that this is a long process. The effect of the creams with retinol in its anti wrinkles action appear after several months of use, but the first changes, such as skin renewal and brightness can be seen in a few days.
This is another advantage of retinol, the lightening properties. Works on skin pigmentation appearing under the influence of the sun or hormones. Retinol speeds up the exfoliation of the skin, and affects the melanocytes, i.e. the cells that produce brown pigment of the skin. It causes a decrease in the size of melanocytes and a decrease in the number of melanin - the skin pigment that is produced in excess, leads to the formation of unwanted pigmentation. (If you have serious problems with hyperpigmentation of the skin, please check out our special line of cosmetics: 24/7 Organix Cosmetix).

Olive oil  - Treasure of Mediterranean
Natural sources of vitamin A are: cod liver oil, liver and organ meat, sweet potatoes, carrots, cabbage, spinach, pumpkin. One of the sources of vitamin A used in natural cosmetics is olive oil. The olive tree is mainly cultivated in Mediterranean countries, especially in Spain, Italy and Greece. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained from the pressed fruit of the olive tree without any further treatment other than mechanical filtration. Down through the centuries, the Greeks have used olive oil for its therapeutic and cosmetics properties. Olive oil is a natural source of vitamin A and E, which act against for aging skin and improve skin texture. Its high concentration of Retinol helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and helps fight dryness and acne. It nourishes the skin and helps its regeneration.
