Use natural candles made out of beeswax. </span> </li> </ul> <ul style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px"> <li> <span style="font-size:10pt"><b>Most antibacterial soaps contain triclosan, an endocrine disruptor</b> (just like BPA in plastics) that can affect your thyroid. That's why Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota recently signed a bill legalizing a measure BANNING triclosan-containing products in the state. The law will go into effect January 1, 2017.

<br />
The international cosmetics brand, <a href="http://www.clarins.net/" target="_blank">Clarins</a>, has a humble beginning. Founded by a man with a vision to provide his patients (yes, he was first a doctor) spa treatments and beauty products that added as much to a woman's sense of well-being as they did to her outward appearance, it grew into one of the most recognized names in luxury cosmetics today. <br />
<br />
<img height="264" id="il_fi" src="http://thebeautyexperience.annabelle.ch/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/CLARINS_Cover_EN.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /><br />
<br />
To celebrate the brand's 60th anniversary, Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins put together this book of super strategic tips, compiled from both his expertise in women's health and beauty and also from a worldwide base of their devoted beauty bloggers who submitted questions to him deserving of worthy answers. The result is,<em> Doctor, I Want To Be The Fairest Of Them All</em>, a delightful book only just translated from the French into English in time for the new year. <br />
<br />
<em>Docteur, Je Veux Etre La Plus Belle</em><br />
<br />
That is the title in French and each chapter offers targeted and practical advice. The foreword, offered by Dr. Courtin-Clarins, states that, "Your face tells it all. What a pleasure it is to see life's contentment harmoniously written there...Over time our faces reflect who we are. They are an expression of ourselves and reveal our personalities."<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<strong>Providing Beauty Advice Has Always Been Part of The Clarins DNA</strong> </blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Chapters in this little red book of beauty tips include: Killer Legs, A Star Even On The Road, A Flat Stomach A Small Waist And A Great Bottom, A Regal Bearing and Forever Youthful...<br />
<br />
There are illustrated pages throughout the book and one of them even teaches you a quick morning massage to really wake you up with a sidebar giving you a recipe for a healthy breakfast. Below, on the same page is a Night Massage to help you sleep well. There is advice to, "from time to time or once a year" do a slimming or firming treatment at the spa. <br />
<br />
In short, the book is full of priceless bits of beauty advice and much of it that you can self-administer. And it's all about whole-body beauty, something that has always been at the root of the <strong>Clarins</strong> philosophy.<br />
<br />
This interview below is excerpted from a special interview given by Prisca Courtin-Clarins, the granddaughter of the founder of the cosmetics line, for the ultra-luxurious Spa My Blend by Clarins that you can find at the Royal Monceau in Paris.<br />

<span style="color: #d9ead3;"><strong>Natura Brasil </strong>today produces body lotions, hand creams, makeup, hair care products, perfumes and personal care product accessories. Most of its range of lines are created around native Brazilian fruits and nuts that also lend health properties to the body. Examples are the celebrated açai, but also the Buriti and the nut we call the Brazil Nut, the castanha, as well as many other native Brazilian plants and fruits.</span></div>

<span style="color: #d9ead3;">The company is founded on a business model of direct sales. Here in the US we are familiar with this through companies such as Avon and Mary Kay Cosmetics.

<span style="color: #fff2cc;">Each and every year in Brazil the population awaits its annual <strong>açai berry harvest</strong> with bated breath. It's akin to the yearly Beaujolais harvest in France. A time of year filled with celebration and abundance.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman","Bitstream Charter",Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">The açai berry has been inching its way into the North American mainstream for at least a decade now. Hailed as a little berry packing a powerfully healthy punch, we first welcomed it in smoothies and nutrition bars.</span></div>

Health Properties Of The Açai Berry</span></h4>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman","Bitstream Charter",Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">For centuries this berry has been used for its health properties by the local Abaetetuba community in the northern Brazilian state of Pará.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman","Bitstream Charter",Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span style="color: #fff2cc;">The whole of Brazil has embraced the açai berry since many decades for more than its medicinal uses, however. Indeed the culture celebrates the annual harvest by making candies, sweets, and other delicacies out of the dark purple, pulpy and fruity berry.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman","Bitstream Charter",Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman","Bitstream Charter",Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">Its deep purple color are indicative of the berry's rich anti-oxidant properties. And if you've never tasted açai before, the flavor pyramid to expect is : red fruits such as raspberry and wild strawberry giving way to wood berries like blackberries and blueberries ending on a final note of sandal wood and light, aromatic woods.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>By Paige Donner</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>We love (as in love ! love !) Une’s Slightly Burnt Red </b></span><span style="color: #45818e;">nail enamel. Red livens up any outfit and adapts to all clothes and makeup, regardless of coloring. Deep and almost brickishly red, it’s a perfect color for early spring and on into the summer. Did we mention how nicely it wears with a deep brown tan ?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5oaB8dk3mtGrwZQh3OgV4MojsphKdF4m92iUDFwfWWwMt5za87hyphenhyphenS0GNQvZGdgBSTvCL3Y7MNkhNoOmz8X7_4lt9XpDn333PkxfxK1phf9kPuDvWBR5zMsirepU-wxwbVpv3gjqEflpY-/s1600/NAIL+COLOUR_C09.jpg" height="420" width="160" /><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Something else you’ll find with UNE nail poishes is an XXL brush that applies your enamel varnish on your nail in one easy stroke. Its not-too-hard, not-too-soft brush fans out over the nail so you’ve got full color coverage precisely and in a flash of one brush-stroke. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhME0PKnYnuHZ0bjRnYW34ctFelYKX8w52iiwfqmxb7SntTue96BIBHclrlMka2NSCfVXvFFEiVr1rjcEl01TM1Yz8UG7-JgNuCOIK1BxX8h1AFMBjCe6DV5BYgvxeAdzmDrCkaBSm7fxZC/s1600/greening+beauty+une_nailpolishcollection_tp.jpg" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">And since it’s UNE, ethical is part of the product and part of the packaging. For instance, on the back of each nail polish bottle label is the figure that indicates the percentage of natural origin ingredients for each varnish shade : C09 our Slightly Burnt UNE Red lovely is a whopping 72.1% natural origin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">The Base and Top Coat otherwise known as C00 is 85% natural origin. This adds a natural Ultra-Shine to any of the nail enamel colors. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">The color pigments ? They are mineral. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">The petrochemical derivatives found in most nail varnishes ? UNE <b>replaced</b> them with equally effective natural origin ingredients : cotton, potato, manioc, algae. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">New for this Spring are the 4 shades to match skin color, ranging from NUDE to cocoa brown. Forbidden and exciting shades to wear on your hands as we cruise towards warmer weather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Other members of the UNE nail enamel color wheel are the SHIL family of shades. These are 2 Natural Shades (soft pink, light beige), 2 Shades Inspired by Lips (blush red, slightly burnt UNE red), and 4 Inspired by Eyes (taupe, khaki, smokey, denim). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">SHIL stands for Skin, Hair, Iris and Lips. It’s a sort of (shhh ! secret) code invented by UNE to create natural colors that <i>enhance women of all ages</i>. These shades take their inspiration from the natural shades of Skin, Hair, Irises and Lips. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">You can rely on your 3-in-1 UNE nail color formula – that’s Base, Color and Extreme Shine – to be formaldehyde-, phthalate- and toluene-free. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Oil-Based Nail Polish Remover</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">And now for the real kicker ! UNE likes to say that they don’t know the meaning of impossible. So when faced with creating a natural nail polish remover, they went in the direction of OIL-Based and all natural. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">The First 100% natural origin, zero fragrance remover. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">What’s more, it not just respects your nails but your cuticles too. Want to know what’s in it ?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">80% natural origin solvents extracted from plants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">20% sweet almond and apricot oil</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">On the light, blossom green bottle you’ll find listed the ingredients, detailing the percentage of natural origin ingredients : 100% </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #45818e;">It’s also 100% effective in removing the UNE nail natural ingredient nail polishes. Even my Spring-Summer fave, the Slightly Burnt UNE Red. If only for a color refresh !</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">by Paige Donner</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Cake-free and doll perfect. That’s you, right ? Of course it is ! And if you feel you need just a tiny little nudge of help in getting there, look no further than Couvrance, the clean pure makeup by Avène, and its line of complexion correcters and foundations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Couvrance is based on the premise that a woman’s skin is one of her most sensitive and prescious organs. Hence, tender loving care are the operating words here for this line of medical makeup. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7-ViAGq-5CvchCZl49qaD3yAvPuWdFxeb649kZeyYBBsWfzprur51ZmSsfbiVMPEVMVtlmhEsaZ-9JhGvNDU4kS6IgSMDUPJv7dB1mNxYYI7YKdruyoyard6unuwaGHi8YJGBeuO2MU/s1600/Greening+Beauty++-+couvrance-bouts-sticks-750763.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7-ViAGq-5CvchCZl49qaD3yAvPuWdFxeb649kZeyYBBsWfzprur51ZmSsfbiVMPEVMVtlmhEsaZ-9JhGvNDU4kS6IgSMDUPJv7dB1mNxYYI7YKdruyoyard6unuwaGHi8YJGBeuO2MU/s320/Greening+Beauty++-+couvrance-bouts-sticks-750763.png" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5979905521124083106" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">The other philosophy is to use the correcter sticks that come in Coral, Yellow and Green to neutralize those small flaws, bags under the eyes and tiny blemishes. Once these small imperfections are made invisible through the delicate application of counter-balancing correcters, a light sheen of Couvrance Compact Foundation Creams can be applied to achieve that flawless Big Screen finish. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Since Valentine’s Day this year is yet again smack dab in the middle of Awards Season, here are some tips that will keep you looking your fresh, radiant and thoroughly seductive self, whatever the occasion :</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Dark Circles Under The Eyes</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">First – and always – thoroughly moisturize under the eye before applying complexion correcters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">For brown undereye circles – Use the coral concealer stick which works for darker skin, the type of skin that tends toward brown undereye circles. The Couvrance Coral Concealer stick creates a very luminous and natural anti-dullness effect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">For blue undereye circles – The Couvrance Yellow Concealer stick works wonders in neutralising the appearance of blue undereye circles. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left-color: rgb(204,204,204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">More Tips on the Concealer Sticks:</span><br />
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Green – neutralises redness, spots, small blemishes</span><br />
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Yellow – neutralises bruises and dark spots </span><br />
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Coral – neutralises brown spots, melasma</span><br />
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Technique « Since your small imperfections have now been neutralised, there’s no need to apply coat after coat of foundation. Instead focus on texture and application techniques, with the desired results in mind. »</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Use a brush to apply the Couvrance Fluid Foundation Corrector. This will achieve the appearance of a flawless complexion by casting a veil over your skin. If your complexion tends towards the grey or dull (such as during winter months!), choose a shade with a hint of pink to freshen up your complexion. Choosing a shade that is slightly ligher than your skin tone can help your face appear younger. (Darker shades tend to add years.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Now, for the finishing touches, you can actually « draw » on your face with the Couvrance Concealer Pen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;">These work by applying them to your face after your foundation (to avoid running). The areas of application are on these points : the forehead, nasolabial folds, tip of the nose, corners of the mouth, hollow of the chin. </span></div>

<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Last step – Mattify your makeup with a dusting of the Couvrance Mosaic Powders. *Hint – these can be used as an eye makeup palette as well. </span></div>

<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Whether you set your makeup with the translucent Mosaic Powder, the Radiance or the Bronzer, each are sure to have your makeup lasting all night long and a quick re-dusting of the Mosaic Powder in its slim white compact case during the evening, or any time, will keep your face shine-free. </span></div>

<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Bourjois’ UNE line of cosmetics includes the newly released Skin Ideal Youth Serum Foundation, a youth-extending formula. Aptly named, this elixir is as much a foundation that gives your complexion a radiant clean flawless finish as it is a serum that incorporates these plants harvested from the Swiss Alps that help fight the dangerous effects of pollution with their anti-oxidising properties.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">« It’s a question of lightness, affinity with the skin, harmony with the complexion and respect for each woman’s natural look…</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">UNE’s Skin Ideal Youth Serum Foundation brings out the youthfulness of the face with very little make-up, resulting in a natural, ageless grace.</span></i></div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">The dominant magic component in Skin Ideal is a product of green chemistry called Hyaluronic Acid. Do you love to see your skin « plumped up » looking dewy and hydrated ? The Hyaluronic Acid in Bourjois’ Skin Ideal is obtained by biosynthesis from lactic acid. It has a specific affinity with the skin, which it naturally and intensely hydrates, re-inflating and « plumping up » your complexion.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">

<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Skin Ideal is an EcoCert product, meaning that 98.2% of the total ingredients are of natural origin. So its featherweight qualities and ultralight emulsifiers are unique and offer a revolutionary glide and smoothness in a natural formula.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">How ? UNE’s Skin Ideal uses a derivative of rice oil combined with arginine. The rice oil and arginine combination is a new generation of natural emulsifiers that give comfort to your skin and emollience to the Youth Serum Foundation. Your morning’s application, good for the whole day, glides on and blends into your skin in perfect homogeneity. It leaves a delicious sensation of feather like comfort and sensations of « nothing on the skin ».</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">To add to the magic effect of your flawlessly finished skin, UNE has included silica and mica combined in the form of powder micro-beads for an ultra-radiant soft focus effect. It’s an optical effect, but one that takes off a few years in an instant.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Skin Ideal is a youth enhancer, a friend to your complexion. It brings out natural light, freshness, radiance and, as a result, boosts your self-confidence. It is not a veil for your complexion nor is it a second skin. Its Organic Jojoba oil nourishes the skin without a greasy effect. Organic Argan Oil helps protect the skin’s youthfulness. Beeswax, the ultimate natural product, forms a protective film against external effects.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc;">UNE is a lusciously lip-smacking green line of makeup, available in Europe (not yet in North America but can be found online) created by Bourjois, one of France's most established makeup manufacturers. And now they've reinvented Black, for the <b>Ultra Black Green Pride Volume Mascara.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Avène is a leading French cosmetics house that specializes in sensitive skin and is one of the pioneers of cosmeceuticals. Their full name is <i>Laboratoires Dermatologiques Avène</i> and for their newest mascara, <b>High Tolerance Mascara</b>, just released in November '13, they have focused on a product that wears easily not just for women with sensitive eyes or contact lenses, but also for women who want their eyes to sparkle and shine from behind lush, long, black (or brown) lashes.</span> </div>

<li>Ecocert certified. Means 100% of total ingredients are from natural origin.</li>
<li>Boosts lashes by 14x using a combination recipe of three natural waxes : shea butter, carnauba and beeswax. These sculpt, coat and maximize the sheen of the lashes.</li>
<li>Holds for 16 hours thanks to the natural polymer, xantham gum.</li>
<li>Absolute black for the Ultra Black pigment achieved by pure iron oxide.</li>
<li>Brush is small and equipped with supple fibers and « reservoir spaces », a technology that evenly distributes the mascara to avoid clumping, applying the perfect amount in a single sweep.</li>
<li>Easily removeable. No rubbing, just dab with spring water and the makeup dissolves gently, respecting sensitive eyes and keeping eyes young looking.</li>

<li>Dedicated to dermatology since 1743, Avène has pioneered the concept of « sterile cosmetiques » or ultra pure cosmetics.</li>
<li>The Ultra pure pigments for both their black and brown mascaras have a minimum of metal content.</li>
<li>No Paraben. No Phenoxyethanol. No chlorophenesin. No fragrance.</li>
<li>Acacia gum allows for full lashes with no clumping. Even after applying several layers. The sheathing and film producing of the natural polymer – acacia gum – mean each lash is coated for perfect definition.</li>
<li>Ultra light micro beads in the silica powder increase volume while maintaining a natural effect.</li>
<li>Volumising effect : +42% Lengthening effect : +39%</li>
<li>High precision brush curved in the shape of an eyelid. Concave side works to make the lashes fuller and lusher. Convex side works to separate the lashes for better definition.</li>
<li>Long-lasting : More than 8 hours. Guarantees no clumping while giving high-volume and curl.</li>
<li>Easily removeable. Spray a bit of <i>Avène Eau Thermale</i> (natural and very pure French spring water) on your eyes and gently dab with cotton pad to remove.</li>

Some of the greenest things you can do are the small ones. Making everyday changes to your life is easy to put into place one small step at a time. Here are some simple ways you can make your life greener and more eco-friendly:</div> <div><br></div><div>1. Shop Seasonally and Locally – When you buy your food it is easy to pick the brands and products you are familiar with. However if you think about it many of these items must be shipped a long way to get to your grocery store's shelves. Instead, why not pick up some locally grown or made foods. Not only are they usually cheaper because of a reduction in shipping costs but they are also better for you and for the environment. Buying locally grown or made food means fewer carbon emissions from transportation. It also supports the local economy. Not only that, but produce that is grown locally is also grown seasonally meaning it is better for you and tastes better too. Eating seasonally helps you to keep a variety in your diet and you can even try new foods that you may fall in love with. It is also cheaper to buy foods in season. </div> <div><br></div><div>2. Go Back to the Basics of Cleaning – In the old days there were not a lot of cleaning products on the market. Basic items like vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, backing soda and pine oils were about your only selections. Today you can embrace the classics and clean green with these same items. Instead of polluting the environment and your home with noxious chemicals, stay clean and healthy and breathe easier by cleaning with natural products. Hydrogen peroxide is a great natural anti-bacterial agent and whitener. Baking soda works to scrub off tough stains and get into the cracks and crevices of your home. Vinegar helps to neutralize odors and get rid of tough stains. Pine oils and other essential oils like orange and lemon are great for cleaning and shining wood surfaces. Pine oil is also anti-bacterial! </div> <div><br></div><div>3. Reduce Your Water Use –Cutting down on your water use does not mean you can only bathe once a week or never water your lawn. It is simple to cut down your water use and save yourself money as well as saving some strain on the environment. Cut off a minute of your shower time by turning off the water as you shampoo, condition and shave. Turn off the water as you brush your teeth. Do the dishes all at once. If by hand, wash the cups and utensils first and the pots and pans last. That way the water will stay cleaner longer and you can get it all done in one sink. If you use a dishwasher make sure it is completely full before you run it and run it on the fastest setting. In the yard you can water early in the morning or late at night to reduce evaporation. Run it low and slow to reduce run off as well.</div> <div><br></div><div>4. Plant Local Flora – Speaking of saving water, planting local flora instead of grass is a great way to save water and time in maintaining your yard. Local flora is accustomed to the rainfall and temperature of your area. Not only does it require less maintenance but it is also more resistant to disease and predation by local fauna. You can even set up a wildlife area and attract birds, bees, and butterflies to your yard! </div> <div><br></div><div>5. Natural Fertilizers – Instead of filling your yard with fake food, why not go the natural way? Not only is it better for your yard and the environment, but it is more affordable too. It only takes a small effort to set up your own compost pile and get to making some nutritious and delicious dirt for your plants. Everyday trash can go into the pile. Items like banana peels, orange peels, egg shells and other organic waste make for great compost. Cut down on the trash sent to landfills and get free dirt all in one step!</div> <div><br></div><div>6. Recycle – As much as recycling has become a part of our lives there are still some of us who don't do it as regularly as we should. Make it easy on yourself by setting aside special bins for different kinds of recyclables. Glass, plastic, paper and so on can all be recycled easily. Many garbage collectors often will take recycling as well. Or take it up to your local school or recycling center. Even items like Christmas trees can be recycled. If you drink a lot of canned beverages you can save those up and get money back at an aluminum recycling center. Don't forget that old appliances can be recycled as well and sometimes you can get money back on those too. Old computers can often bring in some cash from their expensive parts as well. </div> <div><br></div><div>7. Climate Control – One of the biggest expenses and biggest polluters in our homes are the climate controls. Heating and cooling costs are astronomical and the electricity they use is equally so. Cut down on your cooling costs during the summer by running fans, sealing cracks and covering windows. The sun shining in those windows can create more heat than you would think. Cracks can allow cool air to escape and hot air to take its place. Fans help to keep you cool more affordably than air conditioners by dispersing the heat around your body so that even a warm room feels cooler. In the winter, those cracks should still be filled. Cold air can blow in and warm air escape easily. Windows should be covered at night to avoid the chill factor and uncovered when it is sunny to capture that heat. Keep warmer by bundling up and using other heating elements, like leftover heat from cooking. </div> <div><br></div><div>8. Cooking Green –Speaking of cooking, you need to be mindful of how you cook as well as what you cook. As I mentioned it is a good idea to cook using high heat during the winter. Using the oven and stove top to cook during the winter helps to heat the entire home and keep down the electric bill. However the same concept does not apply in the summer. Try to avoid using the oven and stove and instead opt for cooking in a slow cooker, outside on the grill, or even eating cold foods. A great way to cut down on pollution and cook your food in the summer is a traditional method in many countries. </div> <div><br></div><div>Burying your food with hot coals to cook it low and slow is a great way to cook in the heat. Do not just cook a little bit either. Make a whole bunch of food and then save a portion of it for some other meals. That way you can just cook once and then heat it up quickly when you need it.</div> <div><br></div><div>9. Drink More Water, But Less Bottled –Last but not least I'd like to talk about what we drink. Many of us drink a lot of sugary, artificial beverages that are not good for us or for the environment. Those plastic bottles add up as does the transportation and manufacturing costs. Instead, drink more water. Not the bottled kind but the filtered kind. A filter can give you the same great taste and quality of bottled water but without the high cost or environmental impact. Filtered water is better for you too than drinking </div> <div>from plastics that can seep toxins into the water. Try using glass or proper containers for drinking water and make sure you don't cause leeching by putting other beverages in those containers like lemon juices or tomato juices which can be very acidic. As you can see it is not very hard to make small changes in your everyday life and live greener.</div> <div><br></div><div>It only takes a little bit of thought to change your habits and make a positive impact on the environment. Going green starts one small step at a time, so try out some of these ideas in your home today. </div> <div><br></div><div>Author Byline:</div><div><br></div><div>This article is contributed by Madoline Hatter.

<i><span style="color: white;">Lavender is being threatened by insects that have also preyed on crops such as tobacco and tomatoes. Learn about the history of lavender and how advocacy groups are trying to save it from devastation.</span></i><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Open Sans',arial,helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="color: white;">You might not be aware of the fact that much of the world's production of fine lavender, the kind that is used in the finest perfumes and the finest body care products, such as those made by L'Occitane, is grown in France's Haute-Provence.</span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span style="color: white;">The region of Haute-Provence is part of the Cote d'Azur Alpes region of southern France. These high plateaus where the fine lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is grown, however, is an area of Provence just north of Aix-en-Provence that has remained just out of arm's reach of the mass influx of sun-worshipping tourists Provence has seen in the past decades... ever since the nearby town of Arles was made so famous by master painters like Van Gogh.</span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span style="color: white;">Unfortunately, though, the lavender has not remained out of harm's way, despite its elevated isolation. It has been under threat by a little insect, a sort of cicada known to scientists as "<em>Hyalesthes obsoletus</em>" that has been flourishing during the increase of heat waves and dry spells that the region has experienced since 1987, and in particular since 2003 when the region felt that extreme heat wave that spanned Europe. The insect thrives on... you guessed it, lavender.</span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span style="color: white;">Allow me to give a bit of a background here on lavender and just how important a crop this is to the region. First of all, picture in your mind those idyllic photos of lakes and lakes of lavender fields. This is the region where those photos originate. The L'Occitane products that supply their 2000 shops around the world - their entire lavender harvest is from this region. In fact, they purchase just about half the annual crop harvest of lavender produced in Haute-Provence, the region where the company was founded and is still, today, headquartered. In essence, the locals didn't nickname the little blue flower "blue gold" for nothin'.</span></div>

Each time you are about to put something in or on your body, ask yourself the question, <br /> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"><em>“Is this bringing health, beauty and harmony to my body</em>?”</strong> If not, just don’t do it! Going green is about respecting yourself enough not to trash your beautiful body.<p /> 1. <span style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"> <strong>Remove Toxins: </strong></span>Make sure that ALL your skincare and make-up is absolutely free of any toxic ingredients like preservatives or fragrance. If not STOP using them at least for this 8-day makeover. I cannot state this enough, more and more scientific studies show that these toxic ingredients are not only bad for your health, but they make you age faster by creating free radicals.<br /> <br />2. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">BASIC 4 your Skincare Routine:</strong> Your regimen should include at least: <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=4d8862b47d&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Cleanse</a> morning and night with gentle cleanser (nothing foaming on your skin), <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=847f91aaae&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Tone</a>, <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=6f27a7b79a&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Day Cream</a>, <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=182dca1d77&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Night Cream</a>.<br /> If you’ve never experienced what our fresh skincare can do for your skin, try our 7-product <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=c5e77809e9&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Discovery Kit</a> for only $29 (Value $75).

First, you will shed off pounds; second, your skin will clear and glow; third, it will help all of us breathe better. The United Nations estimates that greenhouse gas emissions from meat/dairy production accounts for <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"><em>more than the combined emissions from planes, trains and automobiles.</em> </strong>Scary no?<p /> Replace meat with avocados beans, lentils, quinoa, brown rice, and baked potatoes. Pair them with big mixed salads. Dare to mix greens and fruits like mangoes, apples, and pears… Top with a few nuts (walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, sunflower seeds) for a boost of omega 3s. Dress with a little lemon juice and virgin olive oil.<br /> <br />6. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Choose Organic: </strong>This is the most powerful way you say NO to pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics, that all wreak havoc on your hormones with terrible consequences on both your skin and health.

I know organic is more expensive but when you go meat-dairy free your grocery bill becomes cheaper and SO much healthier!<br /> <br />7. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Go Outside and Take in Nature:</strong> Spend at least 20 minutes outside today – and for the 7 days to come. Soak in some 'vitamin G' (for green). Mother Nature can be extremely therapeutic and the fresh air will do you, and your skin a world of good.<br /> <br /><a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=da58109380&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_2.jpg" align="none" height="303" alt="Day 2: Soothe and Relax" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><p /> Relaxing never seems to make it onto the to-do list but today, relaxing <em style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">is</em> your to-do list!<br /> <br />1. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Make time for yourself:</strong> If you have kids, arrange for someone to take care of them. Book ½ day with yourself; write it in your agenda so you are sure to not miss the important meeting with yourself. <p /> 2. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"> Give yourself a facial:</strong> Run a nice hot bath; charge it with a few drops of essential oils. Let the steam from the water open your pores. Exfoliate with the Jojoba beads exfoliant to remove all dead skin cells. Rinse and follow with a thick layer of the <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=d7f46acf66&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);">Deep Hydration Masque</a> to infuse your skin with revitalizing antioxidants. Let it sit for 10 min, while you soak and rest in your bath. Rinse off masque, and with a loofah exfoliate your entire body. If you are courageous finish with a quick cold water shower. <p /> 3. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Pamper yourself: </strong>Get a massage, stay in bed all morning or do anything that makes you feel like a queen, you are one! <p /> 4. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Practice deep breathing </strong>and do it at least twice a day for the next 7 days, preferably at around the same time each day. This will help establish a breathing routine that calms you, refocuses your energy, and brings very soothing oxygen to stressed skin. Here is one I like: Inhale and exhale through your nose, mentally counting "in-two-three, and then "pause-two-three” and then “out-two-three," During the pause, don't breathe in or out; just rest comfortably. Do this 5 times. Over time, increase the count to four ("in-two-three-four, out-two-three-four"), then to five, until you reach a number that's comfortable to you. <br /> <br />5. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Have Sex!</strong> Yep, sex (with a partner or on your own) can help relax you and get your skin glowing again. <p /> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Stay green of course!</strong><br /> <br /><a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=e7a6dd24e7&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_3.jpg" align="none" height="251" alt="Day 3: Eat your Way to Younger Skin" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><p /> You are already Greener since day one. Remember that healthy glowing skin comes from proper skin care paired with an antioxidants rich diet. Plants are the only real source of antioxidant, with fish that is high in vitamin E. Plant foods also have a very low amount of calories compared to animal food. So, if you want to maintain a healthy weight, plant-based food is also a better choice.<br /> <br />1. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Replace your coffee with green tea</strong> and sip all day long.<br /> <br />2. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Drop ALL skin destroyers:</strong> Processed foods, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, soda (diet and regular), processed meats and cheeses, refined flour, sugar, saturated fats, fried food, cigarette smoking.<br /> <br />3. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Amp your intake of vitamin A, C, E rich food;</strong> checklist below.<p /> <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=9cbefdbdf9&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/vitamin_newsletter_photo.jpg" align="none" height="170" alt="Vitamin E, C and A" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><br /> <br />4. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Quench your thirst:</strong> Make sure you drink enough water. The rule is ½ your weight in oz. If you weigh 120lbs, you need to drink 60 oz. If you have a hard time with this add slices of lime, lemon, cucumber or mint in your water. Skin will wrinkle faster without adequate moisture. Just like the plant, when skin loses moisture, it gets dry. Dry skin shows wrinkles more and causes skin to sag faster than it would normally. Skin will plump up nicely when the skin cells are hydrated.<br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Keep going green and relaxing!</strong><p /><a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=a2bf7811a1&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_4.jpg" align="none" height="215" alt="Day 4: Get Moving" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><br /> <br />1.<strong> Include</strong> <strong>at least 30 minutes of physical activity today</strong>, and schedule time for more active half hours over the next few days. Choose something you enjoy. There's no point in being miserable. <strong>The goal is to raise your heartbeat</strong>. Whether it's turning on some music and dancing, going for a power walk/run with your dog, taking a bike ride - there are plenty of options for doing your body good. Exercise during the day helps you fall asleep at night and improves the quality of your beauty sleep. Just another one of the health benefits of physical activity.<br /> <br /><span style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">2.</span><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"> Treat Yourself to Something Special!</strong> Reward yourself with an hour today or tomorrow (1 full hour) to do anything you'd like. Get a nice hair cut/color, go shopping, have a mani/pedi or simply veg in front of the TV!<br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Remember to go green, relax and eat well!</strong><br /> <br /> <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=ed0f30e79f&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_5.jpg" align="none" height="215" alt="Day 5: Have Fun" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><p /> <strong>Laughter is the best medicine</strong> and is so good for your looks. Happy vibes will do more for your looks; <em style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">now</em> that’s a facelift! We are so caught up in busy schedules and responsibilities, we often forget that fun should be part of our day.<br /> <br /><span style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">1.</span> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Connect with a friend:</strong> Today schedule time to spend an evening of fun time with people who are meaningful in your life -- who make you laugh or inspire you. Pick up the phone and call someone you love and who loves you. Arrange for sharing a tea or maybe your 20 minutes in nature. Try the co-counseling routine: If you are going to be 20 min together, each one gets 10 min to talk while the other one is only listening - Not offering advice or sharing their personal life experience. This is all about expressing for one and listening for the other one. Then switch. You will be amazed at the result. Here are some subjects ‘What do you love about yourself?’ ‘What are you truly passionate about?’ ‘What makes you happy?’<br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Keep moving, eating right, going green and relaxing!</strong><br /> <br /> <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=4a6abce60b&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_6.jpg" align="none" height="252" alt="Day 6: Let your Inner Beauty Shine" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><p /> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"><em>"Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties." </em>Hellen Keller<br /> </strong><br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Inner Beauty </strong>is a concept used to describe the positive aspects of something that is not physically observable. Feelings have dramatic effects on our beauty. We all have experienced days when we feel beautiful and other days when we feel just awful for no given reason. When we are in love, it shows…Pregnant women have a radiating beauty…<br /> <br />Your face reflects your emotions. Why do we smile on camera? Because we look better with a happy feeling on our face rather than a feeling of anger, fear or resentment.<br /> <br /><span style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">1. </span> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Focus on the Positive.</strong> Try this tonight: Make a gratitude list for the day. Write down three great things that happened during your day. They don’t have to be out of this world. They can be as simple as the fact that you ate well all day, or that you hit a big deadline at work or that the sky at sunset was beautiful. Just three good things, simple as that! Tomorrow when you wake up, before you get out of bed, bring to your mind three things that you are grateful for. Again can be as simple as a bird singing. At any time during the day when stress hits, recall your gratefulness and let it melt away the adverse effects of bad energy.<br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Continue to have fun, move your body, eat well, go green and relax!</strong><br /> <br /> <a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=e527c73023&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_7.jpg" align="none" height="336" alt="Day 7: Beauty Sleep" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Get More Beauty Sleep: </strong>If you don't have any early obligations today, sleep in as long as you like. If you have to get up early, take a nap later in the afternoon. The ideal time for a nap is about 8 hours after you get up -- that's when your body temperature naturally takes a little dip (a sleep inducer); it's part of your normal biological rhythm. So give in, and experience the beauty benefits of a little power nap.<br /> <br /><strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">How to Power Nap:</strong><br />1. Take off your shoes, and get comfy on a reclining chair, couch, or bed. Close the blinds, or turn away from any direct sunlight.<br /> 2. Set an alarm for 30 minutes. That gives you 10 to fall asleep and 20 for your actual nap.<br />3. Avoid napping after 3 p.m., it can disrupt your nighttime sleep.<br /> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"> <br /> Continue focusing on inner beauty, greening your life, having fun, moving your body, eating well and relaxing!</strong><p /><a href="http://odacite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657&id=731681e7e0&e=93095e2262" target="_blank" style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif; color: rgb(51,102,153);"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/233ccbb5ed67f4f659d469657/images/newsletter_day_8.jpg" align="none" height="336" alt="Day 8: Keep your Skin Glowing" style="border: 0; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none; display: inline;" width="600" /></a><br /> <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;"> <br /> CONGRATULATIONS!</strong> You're about to complete our 8-Day Spring Make-Over!

To combat this, exfoliate — twice weekly, no excuses — and don’t forget the skin below your neck!<br /> <br /><span style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">3. <strong>Make a lemon pledge!</strong> Skin-cell turnover slows as you age, causing your complexion to look uneven. Combat this with a simple homemade peel: Apply two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice on your face using a cotton ball, avoiding your eye area. Leave on for about 10 minutes, and then rinse with tepid water.<br /> </span><br /> 4. <strong style="font-family: tahoma,verdana,segoe,sans-serif;">Check your vitamin D level.</strong> It is a simple blood test and most women are deficient.
