No More Winter Blues
~Courtesy of Votre Vu~
Dry, cold and windy weather outdoors and dry, static-inducing central heating inside not only pull moisture from the air, but also from your skin. The winter elements leave many people’s skin feeling tight, itchy, and sometimes even flaky and cracked - complexions lose their radiance and fine lines look deeper. Fight back! Regain that beautiful, moisture-filled skin with Votre Vu ease…
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Moisturize your body immediately after showering, apply lotion to hands every time after washing, and re-apply throughout the day to those areas which dry most easily – like hands, elbows, and feet. Avoid waxy moisturizers that can clog pores. And by all means, don’t forget to hook up that home humidifier!
Amour D’Ore
Use an all-around treatment for sensitive skin like Votre Vu’s dry-oil, vitamin-rich Amour D’Ore spray, which is especially invaluable for those hard-to-reach areas -like the back. Apply as you step out of the shower for deep absorption. Use alone but for an extra protective moisture layer, apply Amour D’Ore’s essential oils underneath Tarte D'Amande Soufflé daily body crème. (One more tip…rub a small amount in your hair to shield and protect your locks from the winter elements and take away that frizz and static for a smooth healthy look.)
Tarte D'Amande Soufflé
Use day and night for luxurious moisture protection that's never heavy or greasy. With a decadent almond pie aroma, fatty acids, vitamins and tropical nut oils in this body soufflé provide the ultimate in hydrated and sensuously silky skin.
Hydrate from the inside out
Do not limit your skin’s hydration just to the exterior. Replenishing your body’s fluids gives you more energy, benefits your overall health, and will also help keep your skin from becoming dehydrated. Nourish your skin from the inside out, by eating fresh, healthy foods, drinking lots of water, and supplementing with beneficial beverages such as Votre Vu’s SnapDragon.
SnapDragon
Enjoy daily - a delicious, nutritious blend of antioxidant super fruits like mango, pomegranate and acai berry juices, collagen, calcium seven essential daily vitamins, the extracts of green, white, and red tea, and beneficial botanicals like aloe vera, ginkgo biloba, and baobab fiber.
Shed what’s dead (aka exfoliate)
In order to help our much needed moisturizers sink deeply into the skin, we must exfoliate once or twice a week. Getting rid of built-up dead skin cells exposes a fresh layer of skin that is ready to absorb your moisturizer. If you use lots of lotions but do not slough off the dead skin cells, you
can clog your pores. For instance KP – commonly referred to as chicken skin – is a direct result of trapped dead skin cells that are clogging pores and can be prevented with periodic exfoliation.
Royal Treatment Gentle Pearls Scrub
Use a gentle, less abrasive facial exfoliant that will not strip or scratch skin or break capillaries and cause red veins on the face - like Votre Vu’s organic Royal Treatment Gentle Pearls Scrub with hydro-regulating active plant extracts that soothe, balance, and resurface your skin gently.
Don’t rough it!
Avoid using harsh peels, clay-based masks, and drying toners or astringents - all of which can strip vital oil from your skin and disrupt your skin’s pH balance. Instead, use a cleansing milk or mild foaming cleanser, gentle toners, and hydrating masques – like those found in Votre Vu’s naturally based, gentle-on-the-skin product line.
Cleansers ~
Best Regards, Full Benefits & Attentive Milk Cleansers
Three of Votre Vu’s four cleansers are nourishing cleansing milks that wash away impurities without stripping essential moisture from the skin.
Peau Équilibrée Cleansing Gelée
Vu’s fourth cleanser for troubled skin is a cleansing gelée based on orange oil, not harsh alcohols that so many acne lines feature.
Toners ~
Fleur Blanc, Full Benefits and Peau Équilibrée
Votre Vu’s mild toners are based upon botanicals such as the white lily in its Fleur Blanc toner for all skin types, or rose water and calendula and sage extracts in its Peau Equilbrée tonic for oily skin. Non-drying and prep skin to best receive next step moisturizing!
Masque ~
Calm, Cool, and Collected Cotton Organic Masque
If you’re looking for that gentle, calming masque, check out Votre Vu’s Calm, Cool, and Collected Cotton Organic Masque which blends algae extracts, milk proteins, and active botanicals to soothe and rebalance the skin.
Moisturize MORE and more effectively!
As the seasons change and intensify, so often must your skin care regimen. Look for moisture-rich products that are based on ingredients that hydrate deeply and effectively and will fortify the skin – and don’t just sit on the top of the skin!
Sérums ~
Les Sorbet, Mal-Ligne Wrinkle Eraser…just to name a few
See a full list of Vu’s sérum offerings online….Sérums are like a mega-vitamin for the skin and are formulated to sink deeper into the epidermis. Use a sérum with penetrating oils in tandem with your daily face crème for optimal benefits ~ but look for those oils which are non-clogging, such as avocado oil, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil, wheat germ oil, or almonds oil . A moisturizer then seals in the sérum and sits atop the skin to protect it from the elements.
Tragic Magic Rescue Crème
For specialized care, this intense crème solves many issues for hyper-reactive complexions, including flaking and oftentimes, eczema. It soothes, decongests,
desensitizes, rebalances and stabilizes the flush of hyper-reactive skin and simultaneously reinforces the protective barrier of your skin.
Seek shelter from the sun …even in the off-season
Sunscreen is not just for summer anymore. Your skin still needs protection from the winter sun, snow glare, artificial lighting and computer screens to prevent burning and premature aging. For extended outdoor exposure, apply sunscreen to any exposed areas – such as your face, hands, and neck - the SPF level is not as important as actually reapplying the sunscreen for continued exposure.
Le Bloc de Soleil SPF 30 Crème Total
This light crème is a heavy hitter, providing full sun block protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays. Rich in natural plant extracts and loaded with essential oils, this formula is highly water-resistant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and healing.
Give your hands a hand…
…and don’t forget the lips and eye area that need special care as well. The skin on the hands is thinner than on other parts of the body and has fewer oils glands, making it more difficult to keep your hands moist – particularly in cold, dry weather. To avoid itching and cracking, wear gloves outdoors and, of course, moisturize after washing and when your hands feel dry or tight.
Duette - Luxe Hand Crème & Luxe Lips
Double the winter care! Enriching Luxe Hand Crème is based on sweet almond oil to penetrate deeply into the skin and Luxe Lips nourishing lip balm made from coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax gently protects, nourishes and softens lips in every condition.
Luxee Yeux Eye Beauty Balm
This corrective and emollient balm is a highly effective combination of rich ingredients specifically formulated to counter the three prominent signs of aging around the eyes- moisture loss, collagen breakdown, and free radical damage. Plus, Luxee Yeux eye balm is a wonderful multi-tasker for cracked knuckles as well as overblown noses and chapped skin around lips.
Champagne Kisses Enhancing Lip Balm
This concentrated formula specially designed to enhance suppleness and hydration - lips may become more luscious and full after every application. One for the car, purse, kitchen…keep it handy and reapply as often as necessary to combat the drying effects of the winter season.
About our featured vendor:
My name is Jeanne Aleksiewicz, I have been a Brand Ambassador with Votre Vu
since our launch in September 2008. Prior to Votre Vu, I was using a skin care product
that is available in department stores, for 15 years. I never saw an improvement in my
complexion. With in 30 days of using Votre Vu's full benefits (for Mature skin), face base regimen,
I saw my face firm, become radiant, with an over all smooth uniformed texture and by using
Tout Le Monde (Eye Gelée) I saw a reduction of fine lines around my eyes. If I were to break
out with a blemish, Au Revoir (Trouble Spot Treatment), would do the job, usually over night...
We have wonderful products. We also have 3 incredible opportunities, depending on if a person
would want to start their own business or if they would only want to receive 30/30/50% discounts
