Plump your pout!

Plump it up!

Plump it up!

How many of you are envious of Angelina Jolie’s lips? The rest of her lifestyle isn’t half bad either, right?? But wouldn’t it be great if you could have natural looking full lips all the time like hers? Lip injections are a hot commodity these days and it seems that so many people are racing to get injected. Now, I’m all about having full lips, but I keep seeing these women with seriously bad lip injection work and it makes me think twice about the concept of injections. Instead of having naturally full looking lips, these women look like Donald Duck wannabes. I know that’s harsh, but it is just not natural!

However, there are many ways you can get plumper lips without the cost of injections. My favorite way to plump my lips for a night out is with the Facelogic Lip Plumper. It’s my handy little beauty secret that, without fail,  gives my lips a quick plump every time.

How does it work? This Lip Plumper contains peptides that stimulate fibroblasts in the skin to stimulate collagen which helps to plump the lips. It also contains avocado oil and jojoba oil which help to moisturize and lubricate the lips. So basically your getting plump AND moisturized lips all at the same time…you know how we love our two for one products!

My favorite part about the Lip Plumper is that when applied, your lips feel a slight cooling/tingling sensation that gives you a fresh, clean feeling. Our Lip Plumper is a clear gloss, so it still works the same when worn over your favorite red lipstick or gloss.

Next time you’re going out for a night on the town, or just heading out to lunch or dinner with friends, bring along your Facelogic Lip Plumper and try it for yourselves. Believe me, by the end of the evening, all of your girlfriends will be begging you to use it.

Glossed lips are on trend this season, so why not take it one step further and have glossed lips that are nice and plump. We’re all about looking beautiful and natural at Facelogic Spa, so before you think about injections, give the Lip Plumper a try and see how it might revolutionize your lip gloss-loving life. We are all addicted, and it’s a top seller, so we can all but bet that you will be too!

Plump it up ladies…

My go-to scrub!

My go-to scrub!

What’s that one product you can’t live without? I know, who can pick just one product, right? I probably have 5 new ones every week! But there’s one product ‘category’, if you will, that I just can’t live without. Exfoliators…they are my favorite, period.

What other product can make your face feel soft, smooth and glowing everytime? Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my moisturizers and masks, but throwing in a little exfoliation a few times a week always puts a smile on my newly glowing face. Don’t over-do the exfoliation…believe me, I have and it ended up in flaking dry skin. Not the look I was going for.

So what’s all the hype about these exfoliators? Well, your skin is constantly generating new cells at the lower layer (the dermis) and sending them to the surface (the epidermis). As the cells get to the surface, they gradually die and slough off and the process starts again with new cells. As we age, this cell turnover begins to slow down and the dead cells don’t slough off as quickly, leading to a dull, rough appearance. The exfoliators are important because they aid in removing the dead surface skin cells and allowing the new cells to surface and create that glowing, hydrated look.

There are two forms of exfoliation that you can choose from, mechanical and chemical. The mechanical method uses an abrasive to physically rub off the dead surface skin cells. The chemical method uses enzymes and acids to dissolve the dead cells. There you have it, brighter skin is only a quick scrub or peel away!

So how do you decide on a product? Well, there are so many great options to choose from but I have a couple favorites that you have to try!

My go-tos for home:

  • scrub? Facelogic’s Microdermabrasion Polish. The magnesium oxide crystals leave my skin feeling ultra clean and smooth. And the peppermint-y smell is insanely rejuvenating!
  • peel? MD Skincare’s Alpha Beta Peel Pads. If you can’t get the professional version, this works wonders! It gives me a totally resurfaced feeling and always leaves my skin looking luminous.

I might try new products every week, but these have been in my beauty arsenal for quite some time, which gives kudos to the fact that they really work! Remember, everything in moderation people! I don’t want hate mail from people who become obsessive exfoliators to the extent that your skin starts peeling off!

Scrub a dub-dub my friends…
