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.

Coconut for Hair

Want to know my #1 beauty secret for great hair?

I have always had baby fine hair that seemed like it would never grow because It was fragile and broke off. In the last year I have started rubbing the ends of my hair with coconut oil. My hair has never been healthier.

This is what I do...put my dry (yes dry) hair into a ponytail. Then I grab a small amount of coconut oil from the jar out and rub it into the ends of my hair. Then I braid it and sleep with it on my hair. In the morning I shampoo and condition as usual. My hair looks and feels great when I do this, no it doesn't get greasy. You can put a towel on your pillow, but in my experience my hair soaks the oil right up. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Moisturizing Facial Cleanser




Lately I have gotten several compliments on my skin and how fresh it looks. I have been doing something a little different in my skin care routine for the past 4 weeks and thought I would share with you my new beauty secret.

Every other day I cleanse my face with coconut oil. Yes I said OIL. It is amazing how well it works. Coconut oil naturally has antibacterial and anti fungal properties, this helps with acne and eczema. It contains antioxidant to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It dissolves make up, even the long wearing kind. And because of the fatty acids it is extremely hydrating but light on the skin. In fact cleansing your face with oil may actually trick your skin into producing less oil naturally, which means fewer breakouts.

Here’s how to do it. Pull your hair away from your face. Take a scoop of coconut oil (about 1 tbs.) rub it between your palms until it begins to melt (coconut oil is solid at room temperature)then using your fingertips gently massage it into your skin. You can even rub it over your eyes to remove your eye make up. Leave it on for about 2 minutes, then using warm water and a wash cloth gently wipe your face. Please note, it is normal to have some residue left on your skin after rinsing, this ok and will absorb into the skin very quickly.

I do suggest trying a small area first, just to be sure you don’t have a negative reaction. It is very unlikely but better to play it safe.

You can also add a tiny bit of baking soda to the oil then massage into your skin for a very gentle exfoliating cleanse.

You need to try this easy natural way to cleanse and moisturize your face. Let me know how this works for you.

Smile and Live Well!

Make Your Own Foaming Soap


What you will need:

Water
2 Tablespoons liquid castile soap
¼ Teaspoon of Vitamin E oil (or any favorite oil)
10 Drops of Your Favorite Essential Oil (I use Purify or lemon)
www.mydoterra.com/livewellbefit


Pour castile soap, vitamin E oil and essential oil in pump bottle. Add water until bottle ¾ full. Put the top on and shake to blend ingredients.

Enjoy, knowing that you are using a product free from any harmful chemicals 


Tips:
You may omit the oil altogether or substitute any oil. Some favorites are almond oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil and olive.
Try blending different essential oils for a customized fragrance. Maybe 5 drops of lemon and 5 drops of lime.
Use high quality essential oils, free from fillers or chemicals. I only use Doterra brand oils. The quality is amazing and is one of the only companies that create food grade essential oils, which means you can safely ingest and even cook with.
