How to repair sun damaged skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

 Sun, stress, pollution, late nights. Skin never forgets and wrinkles arise. But now we can forgive the past and protect for the future! There’s an all-star antioxidant that proves to be one of the strongest anti-aging substance recorded in the latest research performed by top clinical scientists. We all have heard of it and we may use it in our creams every day, without knowing its profound affect on the skin. It is Vitamin C Ester. Not to be confused with Vitamin C.

 The Breakthrough: Vitamin C Ester

 How does Vitamin C Ester treatments compare to Vitamin C creams? I am here to educate you and to set the record straight. And here comes forgiveness based on a decade of research.  Scientist have discovered that Vitamin C Ester, a fat-soluble substance, can easily be absorbed into the skin and can dramatically improve the skin’s surface and heal damaged cells.  Easily absorbed, it works deep within the collagen fibers to repair, firm and to renew. Vitamin C creams do not work like Vitamin C Ester, furthermore Vitamin C creams can have serious draw backs; it causes something called a “fenton reaction.” It produces a dangerous type of free radical, the hydroxyl, which is responsible for redness and irritation. In short, vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid cream does more harm than good when it comes to repairing the surface of the skin. Regular Vitamin C creams cannot penetrate the surface of the skin nor can they repair cellular damage.

 In the spotlight

 Vitamin C Ester offers maximum protection against free radicals at the exact spot that they wreak the most damage, the outer portion of the cell. Researchers have shown that vitamin C Ester is absorbed much more rapidly to deeply penetrate into the skin to improve skins surface. It achieves levels ten times higher in the skin than that of concentration Vitamin C, thus repairing collagen and cells, smoothing the surface and giving the skin a much more youthful, radiant and healthier looking complexion.

 When choosing an anti-aging skin care system and what types of antioxidants are best for your skin type, consult with a professional skin care consultant.  Also it’s wise to purchase products that have been updated with the latest technologies to maximize your skin regime. If you’ve been using the same products for the past 10 years it isn’t going to work as effectively as a highly advanced treatment of today’s technologies.

Weddings are so very special. Planning a wedding can take months and can be very time consuming with all the details involved. One detail you don’t want to overlook is your make-up. When choosing your make-up style for your wedding you want to make sure you look updated and use the right cosmetic colors.

Plan as we might, unforeseen wedding day crisis may pop up from unwanted blemishes to under eye circles. Luckily, you have choices to seek out good beauty professionals that will assist you and make your day effortless and help you look your best. I have seen so many ruined bridal pictures by wearing the wrong color foundation to wearing purple or blue eye shadow. A bridal consultation is about what the bride wants. We like to use soft and natural tones to enhance the beauty of the bride. Remember, you will be taking a lot of pictures on this most special day; so wearing the correct make-up colors is vital.

Beauty and the Bride
The ultimate make-up application for a bride should be polished and formal without taking away from her own natural beauty. The right make-up for wedding photography creates refinement and pushes a look forward with a natural simplicity with a bridal trendy look. Using soft colors and warm undertones are keys to complimenting the bride’s own style and skin tones, which will photograph beautifully. We, as make-up professionals have a keen eye for detail, color balance and we will help you and your wedding party look their best in pictures.

When a bride comes in to our studio for a consultation, we always ask them what they want to look like and what they are looking for. Usually girls know what they want but they just don’t know how to achieve it; the consultation should be a collaboration of what the bride truly wants and what the artist suggests. This is a formal event, so being finished, flawless and a little above natural should be the option, but also looking like yourself, “soft and glowing.”
