    Super Women Need Super Hero

    a

    Ladies, we are all juggling…the career, the family, the appearance, the everything. Each morning, we don our invisible capes and proceed to deliver amazing results across multiple areas of our lives. This year, I have committed to carving out time for a weekly beauty ritual that leaves me feeling refreshed and my skin positively glowing and Super Hero product is the finishing touch in this routine.

    I have been using Soveral products for a number of years but only started using Super Hero last year and I am hooked. If you have been traveling, are not sleeping well or just need extra moisture in your skin, then I encourage you to try the Super Hero plumping potion…it will change your skin. Living in Miami, my skin is used to a lot of humidity and tends to get dry when I am in other climates so I always travel with this to keep my skin hydrated.

    Super Hero is a potent plumping potion made of antioxidants and natural vitamins from Siberian Ginseng, English Pomegranate and Italian Grapefruit. It also contains a form of naturally derived Hyaluronic Acid which gives skin a smoother texture and younger appearance. The addition of a topical prebiotic helps balance the skin’s natural microflora which gives you a clear complexion and even skin tone.

    Super Hero comes with a bottle of plumping lotion and 3 infused gauze masks. If your skin needs a bit of reprieve, try incorporating Super Hero into your weekly skincare routine. Your friends will ask why you are glowing!

    The Cellulite Battle

    While this topic is certainly not lovely or elegant, it is a topic that many women spend hours agonizing over. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with the “no cellulite gene” and so cellulite is something I am battling.  And, so, I am always keeping an eye out for new products that may make a difference.

    Obviously, healthy eating and exercise are the foundation of any beauty routine and essential for staying lean and fit. I am in the process of re-establishing my health and fitness routines. During pregnancy and after having my daughter, I have struggled to maintain the level of consistency but am continuing to improve every day. While I believe those are the most important things I can do for my health and appearance, I still am determined to improve this cellulite challenge so I am sharing three treatments I believe help cellulite and improve the overall appearance of my skin.

    DRY BRUSHING

    There is a tremendous amount of skepticism about the effectiveness of dry brushing…regardless; I have grown to enjoy it as part of my pre-shower routine. Dry brushing is supposed to help cellulite because it improves vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Since I am unsure if that is happening, I do know that it is a great exfoliate and sheds dead skin cells, which is enough of a reason to continue. While painful when I first started, I have grown to enjoy dry brushing because my skin feels fresh and invigorated. Be sure to move in circular motions toward your heart. This Aromatherapy Associates Polishing Body Brush is made from natural cactus bristles. Available at www.aromatherapyassociates.com.

    THE FASCIA BLASTER

    A gimmick? I am an eternal optimist and so I am going to continue hoping this treatment is effective. Ashley Black, creator of the Fascia Blaster and author of The Cellulite Myth, has a number of videos and before/after images on her website. I have looked at these testimonials and am choosing to believe it is possible.  This item is $89 and I actually find it so pretty with its white and rose gold color combination. I do feel the skin on my legs looks smoother…I use this pretty vigorously and have gotten some bruises that make me think this it is working. Available at www. ashleyblackguru.com.

    BRAZILIAN BUM BUM CREAM

    So, I might have gotten sucked into trying this cream because of the fun name and packaging…AND the large number of svelte and gorgeous Brazilian models. This product is made with guaraná, a native Amazonian plant whose fruit contains one of the most potent forms of caffeine on the planet. The cream also includes nourishing cupuaçu butter, antioxidant powerhouse açaí, and moisturizing coconut oil. This formula quickly absorbs and has a yummy pistachio caramel scent. Verdict is out, but I am going to keep trying to improve. Available at www.sephora.com.

    While no one is 100% certain about the effectiveness of these treatments, I believe they are worth a shot…especially since they are relatively affordable. Do you have favorite products, techniques or ideas? I would LOVE to hear them below!

    Soveral Skin Care…luxury for the face

    Soveral Skin Care

    Feeling my skin care routine was in need of a change, I started researching options and, through a variety of articles, decided to try Soveral Skincare. Alexandra Soveral is a London based aesthetician who has created her own line of products made from essentials oils, natural vitamins and antioxidants. She uses unrefined oils and unbleached waxes and butter in the production of her line

    To start, I ordered small sizes of the Forever Young Face Oil and Formula 1 Moisturizer from Net-A-Porter. From the first application, I recognized an immediate difference in the quality of the product. The luxurious and emollient textures leave my skin feeling hydrated and pampered. I then placed an order directly from the alexandrasoveral.com as I wanted products that were not available elsewhere.

    Upon placing my order, I was contacted by a cheerful representative who advised they would ship my order the following day as they were “making a new batch of the Awaken cleanser”. More intrigued than ever, I was anxious to try the additional products. Continuing to exceed my expectations, I have immensely enjoyed each of the products-the Awaken cleanser, Angel Balm and Volcano Ash mask. The packaging is clean and elegant, the products smell and feel divine and my skin has never looked or felt better. Another bright spot is that friends have asked unsolicited questions about my skin and the more youthful appearance. 

    Bisous,
