Look After Your Eyes! 5 Tips When Using Eye Make-Up

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Melanie Brown

There is some beautiful eye make-up out on the market which make your eyes look absolutely gorgeous.

Ladies love to make their eyes stand out for that special occasion. However, research has shown that you have to be so careful with what you apply to your eyes. Using the wrong products can lead to quite damaging consequences.

Here are 5 tips that you should be aware of when using eye make-up:-

  1. Ladies love to use mascara. It lengthens the lashes making them look super chic and sexy. Failing to change the mascara every 4 months can lead to irritation from the build up of bacteria. Therefore try to change your mascara every 4 months to avoid this.
  2. Some eye make-ups contain toxic heavy metals. You must get into the habit of reading the labels to avoid toxic metals such as arsenic, beryllium, lead, nickel, selenium and thallium. Go for non-toxic eye make-up which is available from health food shops.
  3. Dry eyes are often a result of what you use on your eyes. Combat this by drinking lots of water.
  4. Scientists have shown in research that allergic reactions can occur from eye make-up when there is a build up of it around the eyes. This causes inflammation. You can avoid this by using Vitamin C
  5. Ladies are unfortunately using make up to lengthen their lashes. This sometimes results in eyelashes falling out. Having a balanced diet should help with this dilemma.

If you care about your eyes and want to avoid the risks mentioned, why not PM me through this page or see the natural and toxic free Aluminé range of eye serums on the following link:-

The Dos and Don’ts of Skin Care

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Melanie Brown

It’s great to have gorgeous skin – without any blemishes or permanent damage from make-up, pollution or just using the wrong skin products.

Using the wrong products and not taking precautions when going out in the sun are just some of the factors that can cause everlasting damage to your skin.

Here are 5 simple tips that should put you on the right path for looking after your skin:

  1. Don’t go to bed with your make up on. It will damage your skin and cause irritation.
  2. If you are using a cleanser, ensure that you are using the right cleanser for your skin type. If you use the wrong type, it can lead to the skin becoming dehydrated or irritation.
  3. If you are using an exfoliant, be certain to use it gently. If it is rubbed harshly into the skin, it can damage it.
  4. When applying a facial wash, use water to moisten the face as it will allow easy application and ensure that the facial wash is doing its job.
  5. When drying the face, use a towel to pat dry the skin. Never use a towel to rub dry as this will cause damage to the skin.

Do you worry about finding the right cleansing regime to promote healthy glowing skin? Aluminé is the answer! PM me through this page or go to the following link to look at the personal care Aluminé range. It will certainly change your skin for the better!

Apple stem cells? What’s that all about??

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Melanie Brown

I have recently been raving about the fantastic Aluminé Brand which have been created by the world renowned beauty expert Peter Lamas. He is known in the beauty industry for helping clients such as Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Cindy Crawford and many more.

He has created a range of products which are natural, contain no chemicals and can be used by everyone. He has seen the damage that pollution and make up can do to the skin and has devised a beautiful range of products that repair and rejuvenate the skin.

One of the ingredients in his “Overnight Age-Defying” cream and serum is apple stem cells.

What’s so great about apple stem cells? They encourage the renewal of skin cells which are lost to continuing shredding. Extensive research by Swiss researchers has shown that when skin cells decrease in number, the number of lost or dying cells outpaces the production of new cells which means that the skin is at a risk. Apple stems cells can prevent this!

What are the benefits of apple stem cells?

  1. It repairs damaged tissue
  2. It activates your skin regeneration
  3. Your skin is protected from ultra violet light
  4. Combats anti-aging and deep wrinkles
  5. Reduces the appearance of crow’s feet in 2 weeks
  6. Reverses environmental damage to the skin

With all these wonderful benefits, how can you possibly go wrong with trying the Aluminé range?

I love this range for the way it makes my skin look and feel. I have used many products before and nothing has produced the results which I have experienced with Aluminé.

Do You Need to Use Eye Serum?

Posted on May 07, 2015 by Melanie Brown

Have you noticed just how many eye serum products there are on the skin care/beauty market? Why do we need them?It apparently addresses a number of problems:-

  1. It helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet
  2. The skin around the eyes is 80% thinner than the skin around the rest of the body and so it protects the skin by restoring its elasticity
  3. Allays the damage caused by pollution
  4. It helps with issues of tired and dark puffy eyes
  5. Enhances the firmness and tone of the skin
  6. Promotes a healthier and younger appearance

A good eye serum is therefore your best friend.

I personally use the Aluminé® Overnight Age-Defying Eye Serum which firms and lifts. This has been created by the world renowned beauty expert, Peter Lamas. He has helped many famous people, such as Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor and Cyndi Crawford, with their beauty regimes.   Why is this serum great?

  1. It is suitable for all skins
  2. It can be used by vegans and vegetarians
  3. The ingredients are 100% natural
  4. It firms and tones the tissue around the eye therefore reducing puffiness and fine lines

Eye serum is simple to apply. You just take your ring finger to treat the eye as it is more delicate than your index finger. Start at the inner corner of each eye and press the serum along the eye socket with a little pressure. This will stimulate the area. Continue in the direction of the temple. If the skin quickly absorbs the serum repeat the action again to assure that the eye area is hydrated. Repeat the same step with the second eye.

Include an eye serum to your skin care regime and you will hopefully see a positive change.

So What’s So Great About Argan Oil?

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Melanie Brown

Have you noticed everywhere you go, Argan oil can be seen on the shelves? It’s not just beauty shops but even the bargain shops. Everyone is raving about it. If you’ve read some of my earlier posts, you will have seen that one of my favourite hair products is the – Aluminé Argan and Macadamia Shampoo and Conditioner. Argan oil is a plant oil which is derived from the kernels of the Argan tree in Morocco. Moroccans traditionally use it with their bread for breakfast or drizzled on couscous or pasta. They also use unroasted Argan oil to treat skin diseases, and as a cosmetic oil for skin and hair. The question everyone is asking is, “Why is it so popular?” It contains Tocopherol which is Vitamin E. Vitamin E is great for protecting and repairing the skin. It is an excellent moisturizing oil with anti-oxidizing benefits. Here are 5 tips as to how you can use Argan oil and benefit from it:-

Hair – Argan oil is great for calming frizzy ends. It adds moisture to dry hair as well as shine.

Scalp- if you have dry scalp, you can dab your scalp with the oil. A good tip is to apply it just before bedtime and leave it in overnight. Simply wash it out the following morning.

Face- you can apply the oil directly to your face. Because of its qualities, it leaves your face looking smooth, clear and radiant.

Body – simply apply this to the body as you would a body lotion. For soft and silky results, apply straight after a hot bath or shower.

Hands- Argan oil is fantastic on the hands. You can use it on cuticles or nails.

The great thing about Argan Oil is the positive social and environmental impact it has created. Because the production of Argan oil has taken off in a big way, it has resulted in Argan trees being preserved as a valuable resource. In relation to the social impact, Moroccan women-cooperatives have been set up for the labour-intensive production of the oil. This means that women now have a regular source of income to sustain themselves and their families.

Why not try this oil and comment on this page about your experience using it.

Aluminé To The Rescue - Shampooing Made Easy!

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Melanie Brown

Do you find shampooing your children’s hair a chore? I do! As much as I love my children, I would rather do something else than wash their hair. This might sound terrible but let me explain why. My two eldest children are girls and they have long thick Afro Caribbean hair and it can take forever to comb out their hair and wash it. In addition, one of the girls absolutely hates having her hair shampooed and will quite literally scream the place down until the ‘ordeal’ has finished. This whole traumatic process leaves me feeling drained and fragile. Well that was until I found Aluminé. This product range was created by Peter Lamas who is the beauty guru to the stars. He has helped people such as Cindy Crawford the supermodel, Elizabeth Taylor and Sharon Stone. The beauty of these products is that they can be used by anyone, no matter what part of the world you come from. They are natural and contain no chemicals. I decided to try his Argan and Macadamia Shampoo and Conditioner because it is particularly good for people with frizzy, curly and coarse hair. I took a deep breath as I prepared my children for the challenge ahead and boy was I pleasantly surprised! When I used the shampoo on the girls, it left their hair feeling soft and silky. The conditioner can be applied straight after and then washed out. I have to say I was totally gobsmacked. Neither girl complained. Their hair was so easy to comb through. I actually completed the process in record breaking time without any stress.

There are other superb shampoos in The Aluminé range to suit different hair types. I can safely say that I love this product because it is natural, vegan friendly and has no chemicals. Peter Lamas has carefully prepared this product to ensure that you are getting the best quality combination of natural ingredients which are not harmful. This is definitely going to be my regular shampoo for the family.

What's Your Daily Cleansing Regime?

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Melanie Brown

It might sound silly but why is it so important to have a cleansing routine? Well, it removes impurities and make up with the result of a fresher complexion and hopefully no blemishes if it is done on a regular basis.

There are so many different products out there and you must always try to use products which are suitable for your skin otherwise they can cause more harm than it is good. At the moment I am using The Aluminé range which is vegan friendly.

There are many different cleansing regimes but here is a simple one that I recommend:

Cleanse

This part of the regime will remove impurities such as dirt, oil and bacteria. If they are not removed from the skin it will cause breakouts as a result of pores becoming blocked. Cleansing is also fantastic for stimulating the blood circulation in your face, leaving you with a fresh glowing appearance. Cleansing simply involves lathering the cleanser into your hands and applying it to the skin and neck in an upward circular motion for a few minutes. Rinse the face with water and pat dry. Never rub the face with towel as this can cause damage to the skin

Tone

It is really important to tone the skin as it prepares it for moisturising and it balances the skin’s pH. Try not to use alcohol on your skin as this can be too harsh and have a dehydrating effect on your face which makes it look dull. Some toners are applied simply by using a cotton ball to the face and neck. The face is then left to dry.

Moisturize

Moisturising hydrates the skin and gives it a soft and silky feel. Be careful to pick the right product for your skin type and ensure that it provides protection from the sun. When applied, rub from the neck to the face in an upward motion.

Following a daily cleansing routine will ensure that you have gorgeous healthy skin.
