beauty |ˈbjuːti| noun ( pl. beauties )1 [ mass noun ] a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight: He was struck by her beauty.
If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, you probably know I’m not only a fan, but a literal ambassador for the Natura Bisse skincare line. Their products have changed my skin for the better, and I love to share when I find great skincare regimen that actually work.
However, being a busy working mother of two, I don’t have all day to spend taking care of my skin. Just like eating balanced meals and exercising has become a part of my lifestyle, my everyday skincare has become a part of my daily routine.
I am very loyal when it comes to the products that I use. Every day, I give myself a mini-facial using Natura Bisse products. Good skincare is so important because you can hide a lot with good make-up, but the better the skin, the better the products are going to sit on the face–giving you better results.
My major goals with skincare are to control oil, minimize pore size, and remove blemishes and dark spots. Today, I want to show you the products that are helping me do that!
Everyone should have 8 minutes a day to spend on their skin (even working mothers like me–come on ladies, give yourself 8 minutes!). Choosing the right products is extremely important, but even more so, staying consistent in your skincare routine is the most crucial to having healthy, glowing skin. This skincare regimen from Natura Bisse only requires 4 minutes in the morning and 4 in the evening. I think we can all do that!
- Cleansing
Cleansing the skin is the most important step of skincare. Dirt particles, pollution and excess makeup will undoubtedly have an effect on your skin each day–so it’s important to cleanse your skin both in the morning and the evening (even if you’re just using a splash of water in the morning if your skin is sensitive). My favorite Natura Bisse cleanser is The Diamond White because it hydrates while cleansing, leaving my skin feeling smooth and soft.
Before cleansing, I always wipe off excess makeup with a Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelette. I’m also a big fan of Cetaphil Facial Cleanser, and that can be found at any local drugstore!
- Toning
Toning the skin is also referred to as “the second cleansing”. This gets deep into the pores of the skin, removing dirt particles and balancing out the skin’s natural pH balance. Natura Bisse even has a spray toner that makes it super easy and quick to use called, C+C Vitamin Splash. This toner has a citrus fragrance, energizes the skin and erases signs of fatigue.
- Serum
I didn’t always use a serum on my face, but when I discovered its many benefits–I realized that a little product could go a long way. Some women don’t feel that a serum is necessary, but I’ve found that these products make my face appear smoother and reduce the size of pores and wrinkles. Try the Diamond White Serum for dark spot correction and prevention.
- Eye-Contour Cream
They say your eyes are the window into your soul, and that they can make or break your whole look. If your eyes look tired, your whole face looks aged and dark. If your eyes are awake and bright, your whole look becomes refreshed. Take care of your eyes! My favorite eye cream is called, Diamond Extreme Eye Cream because it fights wrinkles while hydrating.
- Moisturizing
Along with cleansing, moisturizing is one of the most beneficial steps to skincare! A lot of people with normal-oily skin want to skip this step because they don’t think they need it–but finding the proper moisturizer benefits every skin type. Your skin needs to be properly hydrated to stay looking beautiful and healthy, plus–dry skin leads to premature wrinkles and aging. No thank you! I use Diamond Extreme Moisturizer daily to hydrate and moisturize my skin. It claims to provide elasticity, firmness and fights wrinkles–and I’m all for that.
- Sunscreen
We all know the harmful effects the sun can have on our skin, resulting in premature aging and unwanted dark spots and wrinkles. I wear sunscreen daily to protect my skin from those harsh rays. I like using The Cure Sheer Oil-Free Fluid SPF 20 Hydrating Color Detox because it includes SPF along with anti-aging cream, antioxidants, and adds a touch of color for a glowing finish.
- Night-time
Night-time treatments are extremely beneficial, because this is when your skin has the most time to rest and rejuvenate from the day. Beauty rest is not just a fancy phrase! Diamond Extreme Night Dual Treatment comes in both the oil and mask form, that use the skin’s natural time of rest to accelerate anti-aging results. The mask is clear and you can sleep in it, which is nice (and a great time saver!). I recently started using the oil in the evenings, and it has helped to hydrate my skin, making it softer and smoother. This is one product I won’t go without!
- Day-time Extras
I carry a bottle of Diamond Mist with me in my bag when I’m out for meetings or know I won’t be home to freshen up before dinner. This is an energizing, protective, hydrating mist that can be applied over makeup to refresh your skin when you just need a little lavender-scented rejuvenation!
My current favorite Natura Bisse product is the Glyco Extreme Peel. I use this mask about once a week, and it has been a miracle worker for my skin. It penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to accelerate the cell renewal process while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. Skin is left smooth, radiant and glowing. I’ve never had an at-home product that actually made me feel like I got a mini-professional facial, until this one.
Inhibit-Tensolift or “botox in a bottle”. They say this is the perfect cosmetic alternative to filler and Botox microinjections, as an advanced corrector of expression lines and wrinkles. I will be trying this one, next! Excited!
“Remember that the best prescription is the one you get from skin care specialists, who can perform an in-depth diagnosis of your skin and tell you which of our products will best meet your needs.” – Natura Bisse
I love that Natura Bisse gives their customers free facials and then recommend the products you specifically need. Over time, you will continue to add to your beauty regimen collection, and the products last a long time because minimal amounts are needed for each application. I hope you enjoy these products as much as I do! Call and set up an appointment with a Natura Bisse consultant today!
