    Perfect Skin, My Go-To Guide for Skin Care

    This post is sponsored by all of the opinions expressed are my own. 

    There are a variety of reasons I approached Soveral about becoming a brand ambassador. To start, I have been using their products for years and have had fantastic results. The other reason is because I support the entire company philosophy. I try to live by a wholesome, healthy philosophy, especially when it comes to health and skin, and admire their holistic approach.

    I believe that health and good skin start from within. I remember going to the dermatologist as a teen… he told me that diet and environment had nothing to do with the way my skin looked. I was immediately suspicious – even at a young age it did not seem reasonable. Fortunately, it seems the more science progresses, we learn that what we ingest and our environment has a significant effect on our health.

    Alexandra Soveral is highly educated. She has her Bachelor Honours Degree in Philosophy of Science with an extra module in Biochemistry, BTEC Anatomy & Physiology, ITEC (International professional practitioner) in Holistic Therapies and ITEC & BTEC Advanced Chemistry of Essential Oils. What impresses me as much as her credentials are the fact that she works directly with clients. I like knowing that the person who is creating the products actually helps real clients, hearing about their skin problems and understanding what is effective in treating them. I want to learn as much as possible about taking care of my skin. So, naturally, when it was announced that she was writing a book, I reserved a copy so I would receive it as soon as it was released.

    Style & Life Blog: Perfect Skin, My Go-To Guide for Skin Care

    Perfect Skin is an incredible resource for anyone who has skin problems or wants to learn more about the skin. It covers everything about your skin from your genes, the mind-skin connection, hormones, sun, acne eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis and cosmetic treatments and procedures. In Chapter 4, She even has a contributor, nutritionist Deborah Ives, weigh in on gut health and the importance of the digestive system.

    The book also provides a few recipes that support overall health and wellness. This is an excellent soup to prepare after the holidays or whenever you need a little detox:

    Recipe

    Savoy Cabbage Soup

    1.7 litres of water (1.8 quarts)
    pinch of salt
    pinch of cayenne pepper (add a tiny pinch and add more if you want since it is very potent)
    2 garlic cloves
    1 white onion
    1 small chunk of ginger, peeled and sliced into thin strips
    2 large carrots
    1 medium Savoy cabbage, hard stalks removed and leaves cut into fine strips

    The Foundation of my Soveral Skincare routine

    Earlier this month, I announced that I am a Soveral skincare brand ambassador. This relationship is incredibly important to me because I want to share elegant products that are made with the highest quality, that I believe will truly benefit you. And Soveral skincare is exactly that.

    I have spent over 20 years in the fashion industry and my favorite roles have been creating clothing and accessory collections. While fashion insiders appreciate designer labels, what we truly covet are those ultra-chic brands are that are understated and incredibly well designed…the brands that the fashion editors wear and write about without being paid for it.

    That is precisely what Soveral skincare is in the beauty industry. It’s that chic, elegant line that is packed with quality. Vitamins. Anti-oxidants. Hand blended. It honestly does not get more luxurious than this. I understand how to manufacture goods, so while I will buy a shirt from Zara, I will not buy a face cream from Target because I want the ingredients that I use on my skin to be of the highest quality. My skin is simply too important to me.

    Here is the foundation of my skincare routine. I do this every morning and evening and am enormously pleased with the results. It is also a moment for myself…a little bit of self-care in my crazy day and that is the ultimate luxury.

    Style & Life Blog: The Foundation of my Soveral Skincare Routine

    Step 1: Awaken Cleanser
    Awaken cleanser is a light, milky cleanser that smells like a little bit of heaven. Every evening when I take off my makeup, I take a deep breath and inhale the lavender essential oil. It is made with aloe vera, sunflower seed oil and will give your skin a deep cleanse (also removes eye makeup) without damaging your skin.

    Step 2: Floral Rain Face Mist
    After cleansing my skin, I will then apply the floral rain face mist that is made with orange blossom and red roses. It hydrates prepares the skin for the facial oil and cream. I also use it mid-day for a little refreshment.

    Step 3: Forever Young or Midnight Oil Facial Oils
    These facial oils are probably my favorite product in the routine. I feel they make a significant difference in my skins appearance. There have been times when I ran out and people have asked if I am tired….and the truth is that I have run out of my facial oils!

    I use Forever Young during the day. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids to protect the outer layer of the skin while a synergistic blend of essential oils to stimulate the detoxification and regeneration of the skin.

    At night, I use the Midnight Oil, which was voted “One of the Best Radiance Boosters”. It is made with palmarosa and rose geranium, which balances both oily and dry skin. Lemon and fennel help the skin the skin decongest and breathe while stimulating cell renewal to refresh and hydrate. If your skin is sallow and tired, then this product is for you.

    Step 4: Formula 1 or Formula 2
    Because I like my skin to be very hydrated, I then follow up with the Formula 1 (at night) or Formula 2 (during the day) moisturizer.
    These creams have a rich luxurious feel but have never clogged my pores.

    Formula 1 is made with sunflower seed oil apricot kernel oil and mango butter and a natural regenerative stimulant to keep you glowing all day. They also contain a blend of essential oils that help you fight fatigue and stress.

    I use Formula 2 during the day. It is the same blend as Formula 1 and adds SPF 15 to protect from sun damage.

    Step 5: Forever Young Eye Cream.

    The name pretty much says it all. If you are battling puffiness or dark circles then this eye cream is for you. It contains mandarin peel, frankincense, vitamin E, honey extract and evening primrose to decongest and prevent wrinkles.

    Friends, I encourage you to take care of your skin, you only get one set of it. If you have any questions, please reach out; I am happy to answer any questions you may have. To shop these styles, see below or go to www.alexandrasoveral.co.uk.com for the full collection.

    Alexandra Soveral’s Facial Massage Video 

    Am a bit obsessed with skin care and am always looking for ways to better take care of it…I am an avid user of Alexandra Soveral’s organic skin care line (see post https://styleandlife.com/soveral-organic-skin-careluxury-face/).  I follow the brand on Facebook and enjoyed this video they posted. The video was originally created for beauty blog, Into the Gloss, and shows Alexandra’s technique on how to give yourself a facial massage. This massage improves circulation, detoxifies glands and keeps skin hydrated.  I have created a ten minute ritual at the end of each day where I take off my makeup, wash my face and give myself this massage. It feels good to invest in a moment of wellness at the end of each day.  

    Take a moment for yourself and your skin and enjoy the video.

  • Soveral Skin Care…luxury for the face

    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,

    Rebecca
