As we move forward into 2015 it is exciting to get aligned with our new found enthusiasm of what the year will bring. I know how awesome you can feel as you get yourself organized and make your resolutions, and make your lists of what goals you are going to bring into this amazing New Year. The most liberating understanding that has really made itself known to me, is the ability to let go of my past. The ability to let old thoughts, feelings perhaps resentments fall to the wayside.
These past feelings serve no purpose but to cloud me, they get in the way of my new direction and my new intentions of what I am trying to do in my life. You can’t be in the present if you are engaged at all with the past. It doesn’t allow the current energy to take hold and move forward. There is a discipline of the mind that is needed to make this discernment. It requires focusing on where you want to go, as to where you have been. It requires opening your heart and allowing something else to replace the pain, or disappointment, or even fear. It also means taking the higher road. Allowing yourself to move to a higher place inside and let go of the inner chatter that keeps us in bondage with those old feelings. Imagine yourself as a bird and visualize taking flight, soaring higher in order to reach a new agreement with yourself and what you want in life!
Know your ingredients: Here are some key ingredients you should look for in skincare that makes a difference:
Vitamin A-a form of retinyl palmitate-improves photo aging, lax skin, creates healthier cellular turnover
Vitamin C-Powerful free radical scavenger, helps to decrease the look of lax skin, and uneven skin tone
Antioxidants-free radical scavenger in the form of C, E B5 and beta carotene-counteracts the harm of free radicals
Biopeptides: Polypeptides that are proven to be effective in assisting to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Growth Factors: Growth factors assist in firmer, healthier skin.
AHA & BHAs:Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids help to minimize the signs of aging by gently exfoliating dry flaky skin and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
The overall picture is to know your ingredients, and understanding how to layer your skincare to get the optimum absorption. I love communicating with my clients how to layer different products in order to achieve this.
This is an exciting year for me, as I focus on educating myself further to learning more than ever how to energize and rejuvenate skin, and to share that knowledge with my amazing clientele. Peace and blessings.
