I first heard of Rose water from my aunt, I decided to give it a try and picked some up at the market. My aunt told me that instead of buying I should just make it at home cheaper and a lot better than the store bought one, plus by making it at home I can smell that delicious aroma as I'm making it and even made some delicious rose water tea (sooo yummy).

Rose water has been used by women for generations, and I can see why Rose water has amazing skin benefits;

Soothing and nourishing
helps heal sunburns and wounds (great anti-inflammatory)
Helps with your skins PH levels
Tones & rejuvenates
helps minimize your pores
Rich source of antioxidant
Makeup setter (spray after you apply your makeup)
Great moisturizer for dry skin
leaves your skin feeling soo smooth

Are you ready for the summer?

Just like your wardrobe changes for the summer, so does your beauty routine!.
During the winter we use products to help keep our skin feeling moist but those products that helped us get through the winter may not be so helpful during the summer.
For the summer you wanna use products that have lightweight ingredients that will help hydrate and give a breathable barrier to your skin. Look for ingredients like silicones, squalane, and glycerin.

The sun affects your face, body and hair!

Help protect your hair by using a hair mask at least twice a week, and protect your scalp as well with a hair & scalp spray. The sun is not the only factor that damages your hair, the chlorine from the pool also damages your hair, so try switching up your shampoo and conditioner as well that will help protect your hair.

Everyone loves a good tan, but UV rays can be very harmful to your skin, make sure to keep your skin hydrated, sunscreen is a MUST, and you have to keep reapplying it. Make sure you also exfoliate your skin, get rid of those dead skin cells!

You have to keep your face hydrated, chronic dryness can speed up the aging process and dehydrated skin draws attention to fine lines, make sure you exfoliate your face at least twice a week, to get rid of dead skin cells, wash your face every day and night!, add a skin renewal booster to help keep your skin hydrated. Just like your body your face also needs sunscreen!.

Your skin needs to be bombarded with age-fighting ingredients to help protect your skin from the aging effects of UV as well as help undo any damage that may have already occurred and make sure to drink PLENTY of WATER!!

Here are a few MUST have products for your summer's beauty routine to help protect your skin & hair.

BB,CC & DD cream.. What's the difference?

If you've stepped inside an ULTA, sephora or any drug store chances are you've seen rows and rows of BB, CC & DD creams and are wondering what the big difference is, So here is a basic breakdown of each product, and what they do. (Although some may differ depending on the brand)

BB cream

BB cream is like tinted moisturizer it gives you light coverage and hydration as well as work as a primer and most brands have SPF, this is

perfect for everyday use.

CC cream

CC creams give you little more coverage than BBs and still feel super light. Unlike BB's, CC's have the addition of ingredients(like vitamin C&E) that help diminish dark spots and redness, it helps the appearance of skin. This is perfect if you have problem skin like acne.

DD cream

DD cream is a compilation of BB & CC creams, it gives you light coverage with hydrating and anti-aging ingredients like botanical oils (avocado, almond, jojoba), vitamins C and E , and did I mention anti-aging benefits!!, this cream helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles!.

These creams have a lot in common but also have components that set them apart from one another.

Choose which one is right for you!
