This Seasons Little Gem: Dr Hauschka's Eye Balm

This month I want to share with you about this little gem of a product.  If you have had a facial with me, I use the Eye Balm as a intensive treatment for your eye area.  It's an amazing product to get familiar with as the colder weather sets in.  Here's why;

Dr Hauschka Eye Balm has many special features but the first one I want to highlight is the fact that being a balm it contains no water.  This makes it  super concentrated, packed with healing, strengthening oils and medicinal herbs.  The colour of the eye balm is a warm orange/ yellow, which tells you that it is very high in anti oxidant rich oils in the form of apricot kernel, jojoba and castor seed oil  But the real stand out ingredient is carrot root extract.  Rich in pro vitamin A, carrot root extract is able to smooth the skin.   Vitamin A is is fat soluble, meaning it needs to be taken with fats to be absorbed.  With the beautiful plant oils present in the eye balm absorption into the skin is guaranteed.

The Eye Balm is a product perfectly suited to the colder months as it is  highly protective of the delicate skin around your eyes.  A small amount goes a long way. Apply it before you head outdoors to give your skin extra nourishing protection.

I  like to use it a bit more heavy handed when I am at home during the day time.  I simply apply it liberally to my entire eye area and use it like an intensive treatment.  When I am ready to go out, I simply take a tissue and wipe off any excess.  

Don't worry about what you'll do with this product once spring comes, as its very soothing for irritated, sore eyes due to seasonal allergies.  Containing Neem Leaf Extract, it calms and soothes red, irritated, itchy eyes. 

This is my go to product for women who want to use an eye cream but have found the eye creams they have tried  in the past  irritating to  their eye area.  Eye Balm works like a charm for those with sensitivities and it's also healing for extreme conditions like eczema around the eye area.  

If all that weren't enough...I take a small amount and smooth it on my eye brows.  It keeps them neatly in place and adds a nice sheen to them.  Well groomed brows can really enhance your eyes.

Eye Balm 10m is $52 and is easily last you an entire year.

This is a product I aways have in stock.  If you would like to purchase call or email me.

Compliance is the Path to Great Skin.

Recently I read some advice given from a celebrity facialist in regard to how to have great skin.  Her one word recommendation was, 'compliance'.  Not what I was expecting.  Here's what the  dictionary says on compliance: conforming to a rule, such as a specification, policy, standard or law. Compliance sounds hardline when it comes to describing how to achieve great skin...but ladies....I agree one hundred percent.

Let me tell you a story.  Fifteen years ago I trained as an esthetician.  At that time I really knew nothing about skin care. I was in my early thirties and what I had learnt about taking care of my skin I mostly gathered from fashion magazines.  Fast forward fifteen years and I know alot.  What I know is that like most things in life that one excels at, it requires commitment, dedication and discipline.  Maybe not the most fun sounding adjectives, but there are benefits too!  One of the benefits I receive is being told on a regular basis that I have gorgeous skin.  Its still a bit of a shock to hear this.  I have to work diligently and consistently to keep my skin looking healthy.  Products aren't the only part of the picture to great skin.  I also eat wisely,  for me that means  taking the time each morning to make a potent green juice with my juicer.  I schedule time for yoga, walks, rest, and creative time.  But skincare health also depends on what products you are using, and having a skincare routine. 

Here is what my routine looks like.  On a daily basis  I ALWAYS cleanse my face in the morning with Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream.  I use the best quality moisturizer to protect my skin in the day time.  Usually at sometime during the day, I will apply a facial oil or eye balm to top up my protection. At night I cleanse my face and I use a mask.  Yes, every evening I put on a facial mask and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.  This usually happens while I have my evening bath.  At night I use super high quality water based products from Dr Hauschka to support my skin while I sleep.  That's my daily care. 

Most importantly and I can't stress this enough, is my commitment to a weekly facial ritual.  I do this once a week, usually on a Sunday and sometimes I might even do it twice a week...it makes that much of a difference.  My facial  ritual is to gently steam my face with Dr Hauschka Steam Bath and then apply the Clay Mask.  This transforms my skin and totally refines the texture of it.  The point of me telling you all this is so you understand that it takes time, and dedication to have good skin. If I do not do these things, I know for a fact that my skin suffers. 

Where I come into the picture to help you achieve skin that you are proud of is by offering a highly effective facial treatment.  Skincare is my passion and my livelihood.  There is no doubt in my mind that regular facials are crucial to having great skin.  My weekly or twice weekly ritual is a facial I give to myself.  Some of us need help to maintain routines, that's why we opt to go to a yoga class rather then practice alone at home.  If you really want to see dramatic improvements in your skin, a facial every 3-4 weeks is absolutely the place to start.  Facials have a reputation as being a luxury pampering experience.  It's time to rethink this and see facials as a essential part of our skins health.  If your budget doesn't allow for the regularity of a monthly facial, I can help you learn how to create a program for yourself at home...but you have to follow through.  At a minimum commit to having a facial seasonally.  This is a time when our skin can benefit from having support and guidance as it transitions into a new rhythm. 

My bonus offering to you this November when you book a facial is the Spruce Bath Essence full size bottle.  This is a lovely warming product. Simply  add a small amount to the water you use to cleanse your face with.  It's warming and improves the circulation in the skin which in turn brings oxygen to your skin. The result, improve vitality.
