The Bernardo Winery Faire turned out to be a huge success for both Chandra and I. We had a great time with the beautiful models in the fashion show and meeting so many brides-to-be!
They were some amazing vendors too. It made me want to re-do my wedding again. [sigh] I love meeting and seeing people so passionate about their business.
Artists at work! Collaborating on what bridal looks we want to create.The gorgeous Alisa. She has been a professional model for years and is truly stunning.
For Alisa, Chandra wanted to create a clean, yet elegant, look for her.
Eyes:
Bamboo (M.A.C.) in the crease for a pop of color
Vanilla w/ Grain (M.A.C.) packed on the lid for a limited sheen (mature eyes should stay away from too much shimmer. It can increase the look of fine lines/wrinkles)
False lashes, no eyeliner to bring out her eyes
Blush:
Blushbaby (M.A.C.)
Lips:
Whirl lipliner filled in with Snob lipgloss (both M.A.C.)

Also, a lot of people asked me about what specific products to use and when to use them. We all know that Vit C is vital for your skin in the AM; and retinol, is essential in the PM. Of course, don’t forget about a quality face wash, and the Elta Md Sunscreen paired with a great moisturizer in between.
Sooo, I decided to compile a list of highly recommended products from Dermatologists, skin care experts, and consumers (like me).
{All can all be found at Torrey Pines Dermatology with 20% off!}
Here you go dolls:
*Torrey Pines Dermatology Eye Cream: Contains retinol & arnica which are fabulous for dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines {+has an amazing texture!!}
Everything you need for healthy, glowing skin!
*Skinceuticals Vit C E Ferulic®[one word, emphasize each syllable with me: ah-may-zing!!]
A revolutionary antioxidant combination that delivers advanced protection against photo-aging by:
+More protection means more youthful looking skin and better defense against environmental aging.
+Provides advanced environmental protection against UVA, UVB and infrared radiation A
+Stimulates collagen synthesis to improve signs of aging
+Increases firmness and replenishes lipids to reduce wrinkles
Once absorbed, this serum can’t be washed or rubbed off. It remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours, making it an excellent addition to sunscreen.
Skinceuticals C E Ferluric is an Allure Best in Beauty winner!
Favorite Retinol product(s):
*Torrey Pines Dermatology Retinol PLUS Antioxidant Serum 5X: assists in the achievement of smoother, firmer and more evenly toned skin.
[—>>Remember: Retinol (Vitamin A) itself helps to reduce the appearance of lines and surface wrinkles; revitalizes, smoothes and enhances skin tone and texture, and helps to minimize the visible signs of aging]
*Tazorac: is a similar chemical form as vitamin A, but it is slightly stronger and is more effective for acne treatment. [I personally use this type because I suffer from breakouts periodically.] This product is both available in cream or gel and comes in two strengths, depending on the severity of your acne problem and your skin type. [You need a prescription for this bad boy. However, one of the amazing derm docs at Torrey Pines Dermatology can help you with that.]
*Green Tea Polyphenols & Caffeine: offers antioxidant protection, calms the skin, and reduces redness.
*Hyaluronic Acid: hydrates the skin.
*Neocutis BioCream: the most complete protein blend of Human Growth Factors, Cytokines, and Interleukins available to help improve appearance of aged skin and soothe the skin.
+Helps reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
+Improves skin texture and tone for renewed radiance.
+Enhances skin firmness

Skin. It’s the largest organ in the body. It is responsible for ¼ of the body’s detoxification each day. When the blood is full of toxic materials, your skin will surely reflect negatively with problems. Pretty important, don’t you agree?
Well let me fill you in on a little secret to help eliminate toxins and keep your skin looking fresh(!)…dry skin brushing. The practice of dry skin brushing may be old news to some; obviously you have held on to a classic piece of beauty advice. With all the overwhelming products to choose from and the hype in today’s “quick-fix” market, I feel it is important to re-introduce this basic beauty process. Dry brushing not only is a great way to maintain healthy skin, but also helps you to maintain a healthy body.
The Benefits Of Dry Skin Brushing
* Assists the lymphatic system in removing toxins from the body to promote healthy and glowing skin.
* Helps to exfoliate dead skin cells; which can improve skin texture and cell renewal.
* Lessens the appearance of cellulite by increasing blood flow and circulation.
* Allows for proper absorption of nutrients by eliminating clogged pores.
Dry skin brushing is probably one of the simplest and cheapest ways of promoting overall health.
I purchased a new Body Detox Skin Brush by Elemis, at Nordstrom last week. It is important to find a dry brush with natural bristles; some can be made from synthetic material, which can be toxic. Elemis uses natural cactus bristles.
Dry skin brushing should be performed once a day. I prefer to do it each morning before my shower. If you are feeling sick, try twice a day to build up your immunity and until you feel better. Begin brushing your skin in long sweeping strokes starting from the bottom of your feet upwards, then from your hands towards your shoulders, and over your stomach area in an upward direction. Always brush towards your heart.
I have the most sensitive skin ever and dry skin brushing doesn’t irritate my skin whatsoever.
Commit to dry brushing for 30 days and be ah-mazed by the results.
It is recommended to wash your dry brush once a week, with hot water and mild soap, to keep it clean and sanitized. Hang dry.
Also, don’t forget to hydrate with a good quality lotion that will nourish the skin afterward. I use Hempz Pomegranate Herbal moisturizer found here.
This lotion is enriched with 100% pure organic hemp seed oil. It smells so yummy! It absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy residue on your skin.
Let me know when you start your new dry skin brushing regimen and keep me posted on your results.
