One of the best organic eye makeup removers for removing waterproof eye makeup is the Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover from The Body Shop. Its main ingredient is organic camomile essential oil and it also contains refreshing rose water and moisturizing vegetable glycerin. These ingredients help soothe and soften the eye area without irritation and without making the eyelashes brittle and weak. It is not very cheap it is for $14.50 for an eight ounce bottle.
Put some of the eye makeup remover on a cotton pad, press it to your eyes for a minute or two and then remove the makeup. But only a little amount of product should be used as too much of it can cause some redness. It will glide of easily without resorting to any rubbing. It does not cause any stinging in the eyes and there is no oily or sticky residue afterwards either. In most of the eye makeup removers you are left with an annoying oiliness.
The gentle eye makeup remover though great for removing normal eye makeup does not do well with waterproof mascaras. If wearing waterproof mascara you have to use it two or three times to completely take off the mascara.
In a facial treatment a person’s face is cleaned, exfoliated and nourished to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. A facial is the second most popular spa treatment after massage. It is also called a “deep-cleansing facial” or “deep-pore cleansing” facial because of the extractions.
A facial involves various skin treatments including: steam, exfoliation, extractions, creams, lotions, masks, peels and massage. Facials can be categorized into three main types: The European Facial, The Mini Facial, and The Light Therapy Facial.
It is always better to get a facial done from a professional licensed esthetician who has been trained in skin care. A facial usually costs $75 and special facials using special serums and masks can cost much more. If the cost is too much you can also give yourself a facial at home, which though not as effective as the professional facial will still remove all the grime and pollutants from your face. First the face will be washed and then exfoliated with a scrub. The scrub should be rubbed gently in a circular motion on your face. After rinsing press a warm wet washcloth on your face two or three times. Put on the mask and leave it on for fifteen minutes. After washing off the mask, finish off the facial by putting on a good moisturizer.
Ideally it is better to get a facial once a month. Do not overdo it, as that can be harmful for the skin.
The Crème de La Mer retails for $130 for one ounce of jar. It is rumored that Hollywood celebrities use this miracle cream religiously. With the La Mer cream you either hate or love it. If you love it than your wallet better watch out!
The ‘miracle broth’ of Crème De La Mer is a mix of sea kelp with an array of vitamins and minerals, oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower. It is a very hydrating cream and you will only need a pea sized amount to use on your face. It is a very rich, luxurious cream but it does not feel too greasy or oily on the face. The trick is too warm it up between your fingertips before applying it. It might be too heavy for some people in the summer months and may break them out. It is better for people with dry skin. It absorbs instantly and leaves the skin soft. The crème spreads very easily, and feels really nice on the skin and makes the skin supple and glowing.
Acne-prone skins should be cautious of it though because it might make their acne worse. But if you only have acne scars you will see a definite fading out of these scars.
This rich cream, if you can afford it, can leave your skin luminous and balanced.
