Lisa’s Top Picks!

Monday, May 18th, 2009

I was talking with the lovely Kate, from Beauty Bible (www.beautybible.co.nz) last week about a whole lot of things and she was saying that there has been a lot of interest in Love Your Skin and the brands we do – which is just fantastic. There are also a few “interesting” products that we carry and she asked me if I would have a quick chat about some of my favorites, which I am delighted to do!

Now I love all our products but there are some that you just don’t see anywhere else or have some extra special qualities…. So here is a quick list off the top of my head.

Gingi Breast Firming Masks

I know – what are they and what do they do? Well I have used these and I really did notice a difference. The idea of them is that the breast tissue is delicate and requires some extra special attention to keep them looking fabulous. The masks are designed to tighten and tone and prevent sagging and stretch marks. They will soften and sooth the breasts while gently cleansing and stimulating the tissue. Doesn’t that sound divine J the instructions also say that the breasts will appear fuller, and you know what, after I have used them I really think they do!

Gingi Instant Eye Lift Masks

This is another revolutionary break through by Gingi. They are designed to nourish, protect and restore the delicate skin around the eyes. They will reduce the signs of aging and also prevent new lines and wrinkles forming, and who doesn’t want that! They also improve the appearance of bags, dark circles and puffiness. I put these on for about 20 minutes a couple of times a week and they really do work, I feel the skin tightening and when I take them off lines and wrinkles really have plumped out. These little beauties are great to use on a regular basis or even as a quick repair job if you have an important event, a hot date or just feel the need for a little pick me up and some pampering time.

Celazome Inside Tan

I love this fantastic moisturising self-tanner. Celazome have some excellent technology in all their skin care and Inside Tan does not miss out. It delivers moisturisers and tanning agents deep into the skin, and away from daily surface exfoliation and because it time releases it actually renews itself so you only need to apply it every 3 – 5 days. I find that I can apply it straight after shaving my legs with no irritation at all and my skin feels lovely and hydrated. It gives me a really nice natural colour and it even smells great!

Celazome Oplex Acne System

This is great range from Celazome; they have done a lot of research around the use of Oregano Oil and the treatment of Acne. Oregano oil has great antibacterial properties, however it can be irritating if applied directly to the skin. So Celazome have used their patented Lyphazome Technology to encapsulate the Oregano Oil so that it can be delivered in to the deeper layers of the of the epidermis. The products that are part of the Oplex range are the Oplex Wash, the Oplex Mist (a toner), the Oplex Lotion and the Oplex Target, which is a spot treatment. I have used the Target myself when I have had the odd annoying spot, and my gorgeous stepdaughter uses the wash and mist and her skin is looking great!

Gingi Vitamin C & E Liposome

Isn’t Vitamin C big these days? This product is great because the Liposome’s deliver the product directly to the cells. This product gives the skin the anti-oxidants and free radicals it needs to stay youthful, it is excellent for improving the appearance of the skin and it works on those nasty fine lines and wrinkles! Which means that the skin looks plumper, firmer and more supple.

Something you should know about Vitamin C is that as soon as it is exposed to the air it starts to oxidise. With the Gingi packaging the bottles have a pump so there is no need to open the bottle, which means that no air is getting to the product, which means that it stays fresher for longer!

So there are a few of my fav’s, of course there are more but I don’t want to bore you with them all today…. I’d love to hear about yours or if you want more info on any of my products just let me know.
