Ready for a Brighter, Smoother Complexion in One Easy Step?

I have to tell you that I am truly impressed. I thought I probably would be. I absolutely love the Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser, so I was very excited to see Avon release a sister product with a gentle exfoliator.

This Rice Bran Exfoliating Cleanser combines the rich, gentle foaming cleanser as in the Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser, but also with a gentle exfoliator that you can use every day. So, basically, you do not have to wait and exfoliate every other day or so, but rather you can have refreshed, smooth skin each and every day.

Gentle exfoliating eliminates dead skin cells, which can make your complexion look dull and haggard, therefore brightening your complexion. Exfoliating your skin also makes it super smooth (also helps with fine lines) + the addition of the beautiful silky rich cleanser = super luxe beautiful skin.

Now your makeup is going to really look flawless when you begin with smoother skin, and if you like a glowy look, brighter skin.

I HIGHLY recommend this product to you. I have sensitive skin and I am able to use this with no problem.

Here’s a look at the cleanser. You can see the little exfoliating particles. They are really tiny.

A little of this goes a long way, and there is a LOT of this. It is a great value as well. I’ve taken a few pictures to show you the size of this tube. It weighs in at 10.1 fl oz.

Here is a comparison picture of The Rice Water Bright with a regular hand lotion tube.

And here is the description from the back of the Rice Water Bright Tube:

“Formulated with Rice Bran that thoroughly removes dead skin cells, this moisturizing gentle exfoliating foaming cleanser helps restore bright skin complexion and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.”

“To use: Lather up a small amount with wet hands and massage onto the face with circular movements. Rinse with lukewarm water and then with cold water as a finishing touch.”

And definitely, it doesn’t take a lot. I really appreciate this around my nose area and my forehead, but it is awesome around my entire face. I feel refreshed and ready to go. I follow up my exfoliating cleanser with my favorite Physiogel Moisturizer and then sometimes a little Green Goddess Facial Oil for added radiance.

The price on this tube is regularly $15.99, but on my Avon website it is $12.99. This will last you a really long time.

I hope you get a tube for yourself and give it a try. I also still use my Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser at night. You really do not want to over-do the exfoliating. Once a day is plenty.

Both of these facial cleansers are super luxe, and totally my favorites. I’ve never used facial cleansers before that I’ve loved so much.

Till next time, stay fabulous and always follow your joy!

Let’s Talk Neck and Chest Beauty and Skincare

How do you treat your neck and chest areas? Do you give them full attention or forget about them?

I always remember someone saying a long time ago that you can tell a woman’s age by her neck, and I’ve never forgotten that. It’s one of those things that always stuck in my head and I have been determined ever since to not let my neck look like yuck. Haha! Some things we can not help as we mature, but we can certainly at least try to keep and preserve as much as possible. It’s just like another old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

So, what do I do to try to preserve my neck and chest areas as much as possible? For starters, I try to keep it as simple and easy as I do my facial care, which actually, I treat my neck and chest exactly as I do my face. That makes everything easy and seamless, and makes it so that I never forget.

First up is cleansing and moisturizing. I use the same cleanser and moisturizer on my neck and chest as I do on my face. And those are my 2 very faves – Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser and Physiogel Moisturizer.

The Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser is so luxe (and it’s on sale for $11.00 right now). It’s like a whipped cream texture and cleans so delicately, smells so good, and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Love this so much. And I love my Physiogel just as much. The one I’m holding here is the facial lotion. I like this one, but I prefer the cream, so next order I’m going back to the cream, just because it is more luxe and I like the feel of it just a bit more, but they are both wonderful. The cream and lotion. So great for sensitive skin like I have. I smooth this all over my face, neck, and chest areas. Here’s what Avon says about their Physiogel line. You’ll love this:

Our Physiogel BioMimic Technology™ contains lipids that are similar to those found naturally in skin that help repair and strengthen skin’s moisture barrier, restoring the hydration your skin needs to stay strong and visibly healthy.

I’m linking you to the entire Physiogel Line so you can choose your favorite(s). They also have this in body lotion. So awesome!

Okay, so now we’re all cleansed and lotioned, what’s next? Well, if you’re of a certain age, you may want to go one step further and perhaps use a firming cream.

My choice is Avon Solutions Dramatic Firming Cream. This helps restore the elasticity of your skin. And super bonus, this is very, very affordable. Like $7.99 affordable right now. And again, great for sensitive skin. I have very sensitive skin, so anything I show you here that I am using, my skin loves it. Here is Avon’s description of this product:

BENEFITS
• Collagen helps keep skin firm and resilient
• Vitamin E helps provide antioxidant protection
• Vitamin A helps smooth skin
• Pomegranate extract helps firm skin
• Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested
• Phthalate-free, sulfate-free, petroleum-free

I like to use this Dramatic Firming Cream along my jaw-line downward. Sometimes up a bit on my cheeks, but it’s not to be used around the eyes.

And there you go. Easy-peasy, and does not take very long. Just include your neck and chest in your regular routine to keep those areas’ skin looking as fresh as your face.

Now, if you want extra bonus points, here are a couple more neck and chest beauty ideas for you.

I also use Avon’s Isa Knox Collagen products several times a week, which includes their Micro-Needling Polisher and Collagen Boosting Ampules.

When I’m exfoliating my face with the Microneedling Polisher (don’t worry, it’s very gentle), I bring on down my neck and onto my chest area.

Here is Avon’s description for you:

A highly effective combination of gentle exfoliators, including diamond powder and perlite, polishes away dull skin cells, diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves the appearance of pores for a smoother, more youthful look. You’ll see radiance reignited, fine lines and wrinkles reduced and skin re-plumped…and remarkably renewed.

This product is so popular that right now you have to Join the Waitlist, which I highly recommend. This is so fabulous.

I also love the Collagen Booster Ampules, but there is not very much serum in each Ampul, so it makes it as far as my jawline. You could open an extra one for your neck I suppose. I just treat these like extra special treasures. But I do follow up my neck and chest exfoliation with the Physiogel. My skin feels like silk after I use these products. I know I’ve told you that before, but someone may not have read my past posts. I use the Isa Knox Collagen Boosting routine about 3 times a week. These products are sold separately. The Collagen Booster Ampules are in stock and available. Again, great for my sensitive skin, so I highly recommend.

And – don’t forget to exercise your neck! I did a blog post a while back called “Girlfriend, You Need to Exercise Your Face”. You can check it out here.

I include the neck area into my facial exercises. See — always treat your neck as you do your face. Your neck will thank you!

And one of my last tips for neck and chest beautification is for when you’re applying your makeup. I’m sure everyone knows to blend your makeup down your jawline and have it gently fade so that there is no line distinction between your face and neck, right? Well, I also use Avon’s Magix Dust Finishing Powder to help with that issue, as well as give a beautiful smooth/finished look to my neck (and chest, if it’s showing).

This Magix Dust is wonderful! It’s made with precious gems. Here’s Avon’s description for you:

Ultrafine precious gems, crystals and minerals combine for an ethereal glow that’s pure Magix.

This weightless mineral powder formula sets makeup, diffuses light, visibly blurs pores, controls shine and blends effortlessly to create a silky feel and a naturally glowing soft matte finish. With antioxidant green tea extract to enhance and smooth skin. .21 oz. net wt. 

Magix Dust is on sale right now for $13.99. In our next campaign there is going to be an offer for the Magix Dust + the Avon Pro Powder Brush that I’m using. The set will be $21.50, and is a $35.00 value. I’ll post that when it goes up.

Okay! So we’ve gone through neck and chest cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating, toning, and finishing. It’s really not hard to do when you incorporate it into your regular facial routine.

I hope you’ve found some inspiration from today’s post. I love sharing fun and helpful ideas with you. Let me know what you use in your routine. I love to hear good tips as well.

The Fabulous Isa Knox Anew Collagen Booster From Avon Is Here! Happy Campaign 22!

Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday, and happy Campaign 22!

The new C.22 brochure is now live on my Avon website, and loaded with so much fabulousness you will not believe. It’s so exciting! Here’s a peek at the index from the brochure:

Just click this link to browse through the pages online.

The main feature in C.22 is the arrival of Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster.

Let me tell you, I’ve been using these 2 products for several weeks (I’m so lucky these were in my Avon Convention Swag Bag!), and I am in love.

Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster

As you can see, there are 2 products that work together. The Microneedling Polisher, and the Rejuvenating Serum Ampoules. Don’t be afraid. I know it sounds all “clinically” and the words microneedling and ampoules may sound scary, but these products are anything but scary. They are really, really fabulous.

You begin with the Polisher.

Here is Avon’s definition and description for you:

See, not so scary! And upon using this, my skin feels really good. Nice and clean, and smooth. Great exfoliation. Just rub it gently in circular motions on your face and then rinse well with water. Keep away from your eyes.

Next, you’re ready to apply a little Ampoule filled with gorgeousness.

Isa Knox Collagen Serum Ampoules

I LOVE these! It feels like you’re gently rubbing velvet on your skin. I’m not kidding. Here’s Avon’s definition and description for you.

INTRODUCING ISA KNOX ANEW CLINICAL COLLAGEN BOOSTER™
Jump-start collagen production and see youthfully re-plumped skin.

This youth-enhancing serum features a powerful peptide blend that boosts the body’s natural production of collagen so skin looks instantly smoother. You’ll see radiance reignited, fine lines and wrinkles reduced and skin re-plumped…and remarkably renewed.

For an extra collagen boost, use after the Microneedling Polisher.
*Based on a cell-cultured study.

So, basically, you exfoliate your skin and then apply the serum. It’s very easy to do, and does not take a lot of time to do something so awesome for your skin. I follow this up now with a new moisturizing lotion that I also received in my Swag Bag. I will blog about that soon. It is also very fabulous and feels like I’m applying silk to my face. I still use my very favorite one too, but the new one may be winning out. We’ll see. It doesn’t look luxe in it’s tube, but it sure feels very luxe. You’ll see what I mean.

Okay gang, I hope you enjoyed today’s blog post and that you’ll treat yourself to the new Isa Knox (which, btw, Isa Knox Cosmetics Company is owned by LG Household and Healthcare, the new owners of Avon) Collagen Booster regimen. It really is a great treat for your skin. And I hope you love using it as much as I do.

Till next time, stay fabulous!
