Ultimate Cellulite Spa Treatment

Ok, this is a good one! I can't believe the feedback I have been hearing about our new cellulite products but it's stuff I got to believe! One of these days I will sit down and take some before and after shots of myself but until then I will share some from another rep who had a Cellulite Treatment Spa Party. It's really hard to believe what people say so let me tell you that these pictures are worth more than words can describe! If you have some trouble areas that you want to work on then contact me! I would love to have my own set of before and after shots I can share with people!

SPA CELLULITE TREATMENT:
· Have a trusted friend or loved one take a “before” picture.

· Apply Rejuvenating Salt Mud to dry body skin before shower.

· Wrap plastic film around upper legs. Warm up by exercise, apply warm towels or hot packs. Remove after 20 minutes.

· Work in the scrub and rinse in the shower.

· After showering, apply Cellulite Contouring Serum.

· Apply Cellulite Smoothing Crème.

· Apply Serum and Crème again before bed.

Adding the Rejuvenating Salt Mud to your routine 2-3 times per week will offer the best results. Or, your routine can be as simple as applying the serum and crème in the morning and again in the evening. Remember ... it works if you work it!

Remember to take after photos as well. Try taking one the same day you start, then 2 weeks later, then 1 month later and finally 2 months later. Wouldn't it be fun to watch the fat melt away right before your eyes?

Now, look at these before and after photos from a spa party Sensaria Rep Connie held. These were taken on the same night at this spa party so it is incredible to see what a difference our products can make! Let me know if you want to try it too!

New Fall Products 2009 ~ Available August 1st!

Wow! I just got home from our National Convention this weekend which was a blast as usual. It was an informative, inspirational, energizing, motivating, heartwarming, compassionate, giving and compelling weekend. I don't know if I have enough words to describe it all! Of course, one of the most exciting things they reveal at Convention is our new product line for Fall 2009! As sad as I am to see at least one of our products to be discontinued at the end of the month ... I am super excited to have these 4 new products to replace them. Plus, we have a fantastic new catalog too! Are you ready?

1) Microdermabrasion Creme ~ Gentle resurfacing treatment that uncovers fresh, new skin, soften dark spots and dramatically smooth facial lines with this gentle blend of volcanic micro-crystals suspended in a soothing, conditioning creme. This anti-aging treatment provides deep exfoliation, minimizes the look of fine lines, rejuvenates sun damaged skin and balances skin tone. You can save hundreds of dollars by giving yourself regular microdermabrasion treatments at home. You will be amazed at how soft and smooth your skin will feel after just one application! (1.25oz ~ $28)

I just tried this last night and wow ... what a difference already! It was super gentle and the volcanic micro-crystals were so fine and soothing. You definitely needed just a small amount and if there is a little water or moisture on your skin, then it helps it go a little further. I love the other scrubs we have but this one takes it to a whole new level. I bet even people with sensitive skin would enjoy using this product too. It has that nice blue tint which means Azulene is a key ingredient. It is soothing and calming since it is derived from the Chamomile plant. I sure can't wait to try it again! You can even use this with your Clarisonic too which is what I am going to do next time!

After doing some research, I found an interesting WikiPedia article as it gives an overview of what the term means and the different methods you can get microdermabrasions. If you want a more medical and technical explanation then head over to How Stuff Works and read about it there. I also found very well done web site called www.skinabrasion.net which is written by a lady who gets regular treatments at the dermatologist. She has also reviewed various in-home products to help maintain her skin between professional treatments. Maybe we can get her to review Sensaria's newest product?

2) Cellulite Contouring Serum ~ A refreshing, non-oily body-contouring gel. CoEnzyme A and effective botanical ingredients help to energize and tighten body skin, lessening the appearance of cellulite. (6oz ~ $39)

3) Cellulite Smoothing Creme ~ A purifying body-smoothing creme utilizing bontanical ingredients for a decongesting and softening effect. Tones and hydrates body skin, lessening the appearance of cellulite. (6oz ~ $34)

I have yet to try these two products since I was thinking of trying to get some before and after photos. Wait until you see the one in the catalog! It is unbelievable! Also, using this with our Rejuvenating Salt Mud will increase the effectiveness of these two products. If you would like to volunteer to test these products and allow me to take anonymous and tasteful before and after photos then contact me!

4) Sweet & Smooth Body Lotion ~ Emollient formula intensely moisturizes thirsty body skin. Leaves Skin touchably soft and silky smooth with a subtle, yet long-lasting , citrus-vanilla scent. A perfect partner to Sweet & Smooth Body Scrub which is our #1 selling product! (6oz ~ $24)

Oh my! This was the very last product revealed ... just today in fact! I wanted to put on some lotion but decided to wait until our session was over. Well, much to my pleasant surprise they announced our final Fall 2009 product and handed out our newest body lotion! I miss our Sweet Orange scent when they discontinued it in 2008 and I am glad I still have 1/2 of a bottle left. However, I am so happy to have a replacement for it now! The new lotion is slightly different than the old Sweet Orange Body Lotion but I don't mind the difference at all. It is a bit richer but of course blends in without any greasy feel. The scent is a little more on the tangerine side of citrus for me and that mix with warm vanilla is a wonderful combination. I know my fellow Sweet Orange lovers and all those Sweet & Smooth fans are going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! I can't wait to have people try it!

What to do with that dry winter skin?

It's the middle of winter and dry skin seems to be a problem everywhere! For my friends who already have dry skin ... it's a constant battle to stay soft and hydrated. Even I am feeling dry and itchy most days. Today it is raining and I am actually glad since the air has been so dry lately. It was nice to enjoy the sunshine here in Seattle and we had a good week of nice weather. However, my skin got really dried out so it is time to pamper it with Sensaria! 

There are a number of salt scrubs that we carry that are excellent so I thought I would try to explain all the different ones we carry. They all will exfoliate that dead, dry, rough skin and reveal beautiful, glowing, moisturized skin below!

1) SWEET & SMOOTH ~ This is our #1 selling product for over 7 years in a row now. There are so many reasons why! The sweet orange and almond oils give a wonderful cherry and uplifting scent that is bound to make you smile when you put it on. Orange Oil is a mood enhancer so it is hard to be sad after you use it. My favorite way to use Sweet & Smooth is to shave with it as I described in a previous blog post. I think it is the most hydrating of all our body scrubs but it is also the most messy too. I like that it has sugar and sea salt since they have different size crystals for a great and effective exfoliation. The downside to this product? You have to keep it out of the shower/tub because the crystals harden if they get wet. Also, it only comes in one scent and you do have to clean up a bit after otherwise the shower/tub is pretty slick for the next person. I just squirt some body wash on the tub and swish around with my feet and it takes care of it. 

2) MOISTURIZING SALT GLOWS ~ These are so popular and so easy to use! They come in four different scents from our Signature line: Mango, Cherry Almond, Green Tea and Rosemary Mint. The salt glows come in a handy tube that you can keep in the shower to use anytime! The sea salt and oils are a perfect blend for a quick spa treatment right in your own shower. 

3) WHITE SAND BODY SCRUB ~ This is our newest addition to our product line and debuted this month! It has a wonderfully light, tropical scent that will take you away to an island paradise in your own shower! Not only does it have sea salt and moisturizing oils but it also contains white beach sand too. The sand will continue to exfoliate all those dry, dead skin cells even after the salt has washed away! It's the perfect way to get ready for the beach!

4) REJUVENATING SALT MUD ~ I often forget about this product. You can pay a lot of money to go to a spa to have them apply this treatment or you can get the same results at home! Do you have some "trouble" areas like cellulite or sagging, aging skin on your thighs or buttocks? This is the perfect product to target those areas. It has a very refreshing minty scent and the sea salt and silt work hard at exfoliating and purifying your skin. 

Let me know if you have any more questions or other ideas on how to use some of these products!
