SPRING FORWARD ~ PART THREE


(From www.willowbudship.com.au)
Spring always brings with it skittish weather patterns.  In my area, it’s taken nearly two months for things to settle down and finally get into a cycle of warmth, resembling Spring.  Consistent rain and warmer temps have resulted in a profusion of new growth and exquisite green, plus a riot of blooming flowers.  The tease of Spring will quickly turn into Summer, so relishing and savoring Spring’s beauty will definitely add great pleasure to each day.

I’ve previously written about seasonal change and its impact on face, body, and hair, and about transitioning from one season to the next, using different products that are better suited for those seasonal changes.  Today’s edition features products that are perfect for transitioning into the new beginnings of Spring.  They include products for the face and body.  Featured in today’s edition are Abella Skin Care Cellution C Serum, Asmait Notable Parfum, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Jane Iredale Spring and 2017 Collections, and Luster Power White Deep Stain Eraser Fluoride Toothpaste.  Enjoy reading about my latest product finds!

~ My Latest Product Finds ~
Abella Skin Care Cellution C Serum ~ Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, and has been proven to minimize the signs of aging, and increase the production of collagen.  I used Cellution C Serum as a spot-treatment on fine lines and wrinkles, and noticed that with consistent use, these issues were visibly minimized.  Because Vitamin C is water soluble, Cellution C Serum can also be diluted into a thinner consistency; the product can also be used as a facemask, when added to body moisturizer, you’ve created an age-minimizer body treatment.  Key ingredients include Vitamin C, Cucumber Extract, Citrus Extract, and Glycerin.  For more information, visit http://www.abellaskincare.com


Asmait Notable Parfum ~ A new season always calls for a fresh, new fragrance, and Notable is perfect for the new seasons of Spring to Summer.  This is a beautiful take on freshness, airy, and green.  Notable is an exquisite scent that isn’t cloying or permeating.  It’s light subtle freshness wears down beautifully without disintegrating the fragrance’s integrity.  Top notes: Lemon and Mandarin.  Heart Notes: Mint Leaves, Roman Chamomile, and Fruity Accord.  Base Notes:  Jasmine, Peach, White Cedarwood, and Musk.  For more information, visit https://www.asmaitskincare.com/perfume.html


Caudalie Beauty Elixir ~ I’ve loved using Beauty Elixir and have been a devotee of this extraordinary skincare product since the late-1990s.  I’ve used Beauty Elixir as a toner, cleanser, moisturizer, and refresher.  Its aroma is therapeutic and calming.  My Tip:  Store this in your refrigerator to keep it chilled, especially as temperatures warm-up; it’s great when you get overheated, or when experiencing a hot flash.  Key ingredients include Bitter Orange Flower Water, Rosemary Leaf Oil, Peppermint Oil, Balm Mint Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Grape Fruit Extract, and Vitamin E.  For more information, visit https://us.caudalie.com/beauty-elixir-2.html

Seasonal transitioning requires assessing the efficacy of all of your treatment products.  Those that worked well during the winter may not necessarily perform as well in the spring, or even summer.  Make sure to change your regimens and products to conform to changes brought about by seasonal transitioning and change.  That’s it for this edition.  Until the next one, remember to take care of yourself and those you love.
