10-minute Spa Breaks ~ Part 1

If you have not had a chance to check out our new catalog for the Fall/Winter 2009 season then I highly recommend doing so! It is a beautiful catalog again and this time they included these mini spa break rituals that you can do in 10 minutes or less. They are sprinkled throughout the catalog but here is the list. Keep it handy when you need a quick pick me up!

A consistent Daily 4-Step Ritual – morning and night – is the best defense against the signs of aging.

10 MINUTE MASK

Appreciating Skin Perfecting Serum

Sensaria has a wonderful product called Skin Perfecting Serum but I have never really appreciated it until now. It really works for a lot of my customers and there are loads of people who are big fans of it. Me? Not so much. I suppose it has to do with the fact that my skin is oily and it really feels strange to me to put something on my skin that feels ... oily. That isn't the best description for it but it does have a silky, slippery feel to it that is usually what I want my skin to NOT feel like. The feeling goes away after it soaks in after a few minutes but it really took a long time before I actually liked this product. Even up until now, I was an occasional user of this product.

Well, now that I have spent the last 3 weeks in Sweden ... I use it every day religiously! I still have oily skin but the air is much drier here for the most part. I suppose it is because it is so cold ... below freezing most days and when it gets below oh ... 20 degrees Fahrenheit I think it just zaps all the moisture out of the air. I am really missing all my Sensaria moisturizers but I am so glad I have the Skin Perfecting Serum with me!

How do you use it? In the morning after I use my Balancing Moisturizer I squirt a small amount into the palm of my hand and rub it over my entire face. I leave it while I dry my hair or get dressed and then my skin is soft and smooth. Not one bit oily! It makes for a great base for my foundation or sometimes I just put some powder on. However, in this cold and dry climate it really helps protect my face from getting dried out and it also protects it from any pollution or free-radicals that can damage your skin. I never thought I would love it but now I do!
