Broad Spectrum SPF 36 BB Cream by @AmarteSkinCare
I am always on the hunt for new beauty products and it is no different with skincare. I started wearing less makeup and more bare face! Gulp. It is not easy to do it all the time but with the help of Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream, I am getting use to this look more and more.
I recently tried Amarte from Seoul and I am really happy with the products! Amarte Cosmetics comes in pretty pink and gold packaging and has products that are combine Korean skincare secrets and American dermatology expertise. The BB cream has SPF36 and a soft tint that evens out your skin tone. This is a perfect match for my skin tone which is hard to find except in Asian products.
The coverage is more than a tinted moisturized but less than a foundation, which is typical of a BB cream. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering but is a bit powdery and slightly floral. It is very sheer and provides sun protection
I love this beautiful video they shot about the brand. It is beautiful, high end and perfect for the brand. The future can just be as extraordinary as the present.

At Home Spa Treatments with @ClaySpray
I have an early memory when I was 3 or 4 of my mom with her glass jar of Borghese mud mask and coming around the corner saying boo! I was both scared and intrigued at how this grotesque clay can actually beautify your skin! I remember wanting to do it with my mom and thinking it would be so cool to try it. Of course she told me this is something I can do when I grow up, along with lipstick, mascara but I could wear a bit of perfume. My mom has always taken great care of her skin and looks gorgeous and much younger than her actual age!
In a blink of an eye, I am 29 and clay masks have become a part of my monthly beauty routine to detox my face of impurities. This at home spa mask is really fun because I can do it at my own convenience, right before a shower and playing on my iPad. It is easy, fast and I am always looking to try new versions of beauty masks.
The ClaySpray is unique in it’s packing, ingredients and its fresh approach to this ancient beauty routine. I recently tried the Glow Red Clay with Cacao Masque from ClaySpray and it was fantastic! The clay comes in a pump top can and it is quick, mess free and easy to use. You only need a little for your whole face and the texture is like Nutella. First spray your face with the water spray then apply the clay quickly. Se you can see on the tip of my nose, it started to dry already. Once the whole mask changes colors. you know that it is ready to be washed off!
The nourishing power of antioxidant rich cacao aids cell regeneration and neutralises the damaging effect of free radicals. I used this for glowing, healthy, and radiant looking skin. The Glow Red Clay Masque instantly adds a boost of radiance to dull skin. The mineral rich formula includes iron to activate circulation, silica to boost collagen, alongside nourishing cacao, which is rich in anti-oxidants to rejuvenate. The restoring clay exfoliates and restores the skin’s surface revealing a glowing and healthy looking complexion.
The process was so easy!
1. Spray or moisten skin with natural mineral water.
2. Dispense product into your hand and massage into the area to be treated. Avoid contact with eyes.
3. Leave on until dry.
4. Wash skin with water until clay is removed

A Fruit Sensation For Your Skin
*guestblog by Michelle Pino of Skana Spa
While it is important to protect your skin year-round, there is no better time to put a consistent regiment into action than before the outdoor activities of the summer kick into full gear. July 4th celebrations certainly set the tone for the events and activities that will be integral for the remainder of the summer. Get yours off on the right foot by starting a facial-skin protection treatment that will reveal a glow in your skin’s tone that rivals that of the celebratory fireworks.

The warmth of family and friends at this year’s July 4th BBQ will bring joy and fun to all those involved. However, the warmth of the sun along with its UV rays can potentially do a great deal of damage to your skin. In order to prepare for the time that it will be exposed, explore the following all-natural recipe for a rejuvenating facial mask. In addition to giving you the protection you need, it will invigorate, replenish, and hydrate where your body needs it the most.
There is no better time of year to try out a new facial mask that uses red, white, and blue ingredients. Below is the festive facial mask inspired by Skana spa of Upstate NY resort, Turning Stone:
Begin creating your facial mask…
- Collect 10 blueberries
- ¼ of a fresh tomato
- 1 teaspoon of apricot kernel oil (or baby oil)
- 2 drops of sweet orange essential oil. (or any essential oil)

The fresh, fruit ingredients bring skin back to life in several ways. The naturally occurring antioxidant properties tone skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. These particular fruits are also high in vitamin C, acting as an anti-inflammatory for slightly damaged skin. These super fruits will boost your skin’s collagen production and neutralize free radicals as they provide deep protection for your skin cells.
Directions:Blend all the fruit with a blender for close to ten seconds. Place the mixture in a small bowl where you will add the oils. Mix well. Before you apply the mask, open the pores of the skin through the use of steam and warm water. Once the pours have been opened, apply the mask and allow it to soak into the skin for at least 20 minutes. After you are relaxed and the mixture has had to time take effect, gently remove the product with cool water and apply a natural moisturizer such as coca butter. In order to achieve a healthy glow all throughout the year, you can apply the mask once a week.
Tip: always test new products on a small portion of skin to test first.

Natural Girl Loves the Ocean
Whether you live right next to the ocean or are thousands of miles away from it – there’s no getting away from the fact that without this vital resource we couldn’t survive. The ocean is in fact our most precious commodity, for example, did you know that oceans contain 99 per cent of the space occupied by life on earth and are home to 97 per cent of our planet’s water?
And when you look at how vital it is to our survival the importance of the preservation of the oceans is even more apparent. The number of people who rely on oceans for their food source is set to increase – currently over one billion people depend on fish for their nutritional needs and experts predict by 2050 the population’s food requirements will have nearly doubled to keep pace with population increases. Then there’s the fact that over half of the oxygen in the atmosphere is provided by oceans plus they also help to regulate the earth’s climate.Yet despite this we continue to use unsafe practices at sea which lead to overfishing, reduction in marine biodiversity and the possible extinction of some species. We may depend on the ocean for the survival of the human race – but one thing’s for sure; the ocean can’t depend on us for its own survival.Check out how wonderful our oceans are with this beautiful video which captures the magic you’ll find down there from Conservation International.Sights and Sounds of the Pacific from Conservation International on Vimeo.
