Protecting the “girls” 

Did you know???

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer!

Ladies think about your 7 closest friends or family members...

Scary isn’t it? 

October is breast cancer awareness month, so what better time than now to do a breast self exam or schedule a mammogram if you’ve been putting it off. I had my first mammogram when I was 34!  It is not painful, it might be uncomfortable but so are many things we do in life. 

Also important is supporting organizations that are aiding in the battle of breast cancer. There are several that focus on different aspects like prevention and early detection, treatment, healing and therapy, and finding a cure.  This month I also encourage you to pay attention while shopping both in store and online. Many merchants and businesses will make donations to these wonderful organizations to show support. I think this is great way to get involved, shop for a cause.

Joyōme Is it Worth It??

What is it?

A two step skin care system 1 serum for night and 1 for daytime

Who is it for?

Everyone!! Yes even those with sensitive skin

What does it do?

This is taken directly from the Plexus website

“Addresses all the top signs of aging including the appearance of expression lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, oversized pores, dark circles, under-eye puffiness, dullness, dryness, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, age spots, redness, and environmental damage.”

How do you use it?

After washing your face in the evening you apply 3 pumps to your face and neck. In the morning you again apply 3 pumps to clean skin before sunscreen and makeup.

So now my thoughts…

• I really enjoy the simplicity of this skin care. 2 products and done!
• Both serums absorb quickly, and it does not leave a heavy or greasy feel to the skin.
• Nice light fragrance.
• The day serum adds a slight glow to the skin which I really like.
• I have definitely noticed my skin is softer and hydrated.
• The fine lines around my mouth and forehead have softened.

So in conclusion, while I do have pretty good skin I am starting to see signs of aging such as fine lines and sun spots so I like to use products to address these concerns. Joyōme seems to be doing exactly that. I plan on continuing to use both serums for the next few weeks to see if my skin will continue to improve.
