Many women avoid mineral makeup because they simply don’t know where to begin, but it is easier than you think! Here is what to expect from mineral makeup from my makeup San Antonio experience:

First of all, it is important to have the right type of makeup brush for your mineral makeup. It is often recommended to use a fluffy kabuki brush to swirl mineral powder evenly onto your complexion. You will need a smaller fluffy makeup brush for applying blush and bronzer as well.
Choose a mineral makeup foundation shade that matches your skin tone, and feel free to mix two shades together to customize. This is one of the great benefits of mineral makeup in that it is a powder so you can mix two shades together to blend a shade perfect for your skin tone.
Last of all, realize that mineral makeup provides the greatest benefit in natural sun protection that is free from chemicals and preservatives!

Will an anti aging foundation really work? Here is what to consider from my San Antonio makeup service experience.
First of all, if you want to have anti aging benefits within your foundation, you definitely need to read the ingredient label. A premium anti aging foundation should contain an SPF since we all know that sun protection is one of the biggest keys to wrinkle prevention. Next, make sure that any foundation labeled as anti aging has scientifically proven ingredients, such as peptides.
These peptide ingredients work to penetrate the surface of the skin and boost collagen production. Collagen is the substance in your skin responsible for plumping and firming, so it’s highly important to have scientific ingredients to reduce wrinkles from the inside out!

So how has my first week of Colonix been going? Quite well!
I am normally a pretty healthy person with a good diet and exercise plan, so I did not see that much of a dramatic change, but I can tell a difference. I have already reached day 7, so I have upped my intake of the Paranil cleansing capsules to remove toxins from the body to four per day. I have also increased my Colonix intake to one scoop per day.
My favorite part of the program is the Kleritea that you are supposed to drink nightly before you go to bed to stimulate your bowels, but the best part is that it makes you really sleepy and knocks you out completely. I love it!
As far as my skin goes, I have noticed a clarity and smoothness without any breakouts as the toxins are being removed from my body.

Today is the day! I am starting the Dr. Natura Colonix cleansing program to detoxify my body and see what effect it has on my skin, in the spirit of this blog!
I will keep you updated with my progress, but so far I have taken 2 Paranil capsules, which contain 18 different herbs to detoxify the body and purify the liver and colon. I can tell you that after New Year’s, I definitely need something to purify my liver!
I have also taken the Colonix Intestinal Cleanser fiber supplement to remove toxins from my intestine. This is a heavy-duty product that is going to remove build up and waste to detoxify my body.
The point of the matter is that toxins can build up in the body and directly affect the health of the skin, making it look flat and dull. With the Dr. Natura Colonix program, you can follow my progress to see a direct improvement in the tone and texture of my complexion!

Does anti aging makeup really work? Here is what you need to know from my San Antonio makeup artist experience!
There are a number of makeup products on the market that advertise being able to turn back the clock and provide youthful skin, but are they the real deal? Many of these products contain antioxidants, peptides, and retinol in the form of blushes, lipsticks, and foundations. You may be used to using an anti aging skin care product, but what about an anti aging cosmetic?
The truth is that these products do offer benefits, but they won’t necessarily offer a miraculous transformation. Your best bet is to carefully look at your ingredient labels to make sure that the anti aging makeup that you are using has authentic anti-wrinkle ingredients, like scientifically engineered peptides.
Just one last tip, if a product is advertised as anti aging and contains all-natural ingredients, then it won’t reduce wrinkles! Natural ingredients are great for your skin, but they won’t make you look years younger.

Pregnancy is a time when precautions need to be taken, so what do you do when it comes to your beauty? Here are what products to look for and avoid from my makeup San Antonio experience.
First of all, it is best to avoid hairspray and nail polish. They have harmful ingredients that can be inhaled, so your best bet is to use mousse or gel.
As far as sunscreens and sunless tanners go, they contain oxybenzone, which could be potentially harmful. It’s not ideal to rub chemicals directly onto your skin every day when you are pregnant, so look for sunscreens that contain topical ingredients, like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
If you are struggling with acne during your pregnancy, it is best to avoid retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid. A more gentle choice would be a glycolic acid peel or glycolic acid products that will topically remove dead skin cells for a safe treatment!

If you read my last review on the Elite Wrinkle Eraser, then you are probably aware by now that it is an anti aging serum to be used twice per day, in the morning and at night, on clean skin. I have been using this product for three weeks, and I am happy to update that I am already seeing fantastic results! Here is why:
Elite Wrinkle Eraser contains scientifically engineered peptide ingredients, which are a must if you hope to treat existing fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin. These specific ingredients are Argireline and Matrixyl 3000, to name a few. Argireline is an impressive anti aging ingredient because it can provide results similar to Botox without needing an injection. This ingredient has the ability to relax tense facial muscles that can repetitively contract to cause expression lines to smooth out existing wrinkles.
Matrixyl 3000 is a peptide ingredient that can penetrate the surface of the skin to boost collagen production. This will immediately plump and firm sagging skin for a fresh and smooth finish.
The bottom line is that if you are hoping to treat or even prevent fine lines and wrinkles in your delicate facial skin, check out Elite Wrinkle Eraser right away!

It’s no secret that it’s incredibly important to protect your skin from the sun to prevent damage and premature wrinkling. Here are some helpful tips on sunless tanning products from my bridal makeup San Antonio experience.
It is necessary to get a moderate amount of sun for healthy vitamin D intake, but too much sun exposure can cause wrinkles and leathery skin. If you want a natural and beautiful glow, then your best bet is to use a sunless tanner.
To start out with, make sure that you exfoliate extremely well to remove all dead skin, especially from your elbows and knees. It is also best to use a spray-on tanner for even coverage, instead of a cream that you rub on. Always, always, always wash your hands very well after applying a rub-on tanning lotion because it can turn them orange!
If you are looking for a simple glow for a night out, consider using a shimmer bronzer to brush into your cleavage and on your shoulders to enhance your look.

This is a very important question, especially if you want to select healthy products for your skin. Here are some recommendations from my San Antonio bridal makeup experience!
First of all, consider that your skin is the largest organ in your body. This means that you need to treat it well, even though it endures many types of abuse in your lifetime. One of the main benefits to using natural skin care products is that they are free from harmful chemicals. This means that they will not cause reactions in any skin type. Also, your skin has an easier time absorbing natural products since they are not made from synthetic ingredients.
Oftentimes, natural products are full of vitamin and antioxidant ingredients, which are proven tools in preventative skin care because they will neutralize free radical damage underneath the surface of the skin to prevent premature wrinkling. That’s reason enough for me!

Whatever age you may be, it definitely pays off to use a wrinkle fighting product that has effective and proven ingredients. I have taken the time to test out Elite Wrinkle Eraser, and here is my synopsis.
The first thing to keep in mind about Elite Wrinkle Eraser is that it uses scientifically proven peptide ingredients. Truthfully, there are so many different anti aging products on the market, which is why it really pays off to take the time to read your ingredient labels. This product uses Matrixyl 3000, which has the ability to boost collagen production underneath the surface of the skin. This is absolutely the only way that you’re going to be able to prevent sagging by regenerating collagen production for firm and supple skin.
Elite Wrinkle Eraser also uses Argireline, which works to relax and smooth out contracted facial muscles that can often cause frown lines and smile lines. This ingredient is going to give you Botox like results without invasive surgery!
Regardless of the shape of your skin, it is helpful to use a product that can prevent or treat existing wrinkles for a radiant new you!
