    Save your Skin with Evermore

    I had the pleasure of meeting Nick and trying Evermore this year at Cosmoprof Las Vegas and immediately saw how special him and the products were.  This product has 4 items and they all have their own restorative and repairing  functions. It is difficult to have the discipline and time to take care of your skin with an active lifestyle so Evermore is a great solution. The key feature is the product has no fragrance at all. If you have sensitive skin, fragrance or a ‘masking’ fragrance can still be a factor to irritate it. So Evermore is really scentless.

    Besides the skincare, the story of how Nick started the brand is also pretty cool. See below and check out their products on Amazon!

    Evermore Skin was founded in Huntington Beach California where sunshine and the beach is a way of life. Living in sunny Southern California leads to a very active lifestyle where being exposed to the elements takes a toll on your body and skin. Growing up, my family and I spent countless hours camping in Carpinteria State Beach,  sailing to Catalina, night diving for lobster, spearfishing the Channel Islands and many other outdoor activities. My Mom was always a stickler for putting sunscreen on all of the kids. I hated the way it felt and never wanted to put it on, but after getting sunburned a time or two, I quickly realized the importance of protecting, repairing, and restoring my skin from the sun and other natural  elements.

    In looking for something that would protect and restore my skin, I found several skincare companies that catered to women, but had a hard time finding a men’s line or even unisex products. So I decided to create my own. After extensive research I found a scientific laboratory to create a anti-aging skincare line that was specifically designed for all skin types, creating the perfect combination of modern technology and natural ingredients to bring you Evermore Skin.

    Sunscreens from Osmosis Pür Medical Skincare

    Living in Las Vegas has brought a new element to my skincare routine I didn’t have to think about while living in New York! SPF and Sunscreen is definitely a must everyday here. I can only count on 1 hand how many overcast, rainy days there has been here for the last 9 months.

    Living in this soleil paradise means that your skin becomes way more susceptible to sun damage, sun spots, sun burns and maybe skin cancer too.  I have discovered the range of OSMOSIS that have a variety of SPF products.  I love the lightness of the products and how they are good for my skin too! Take a look at their range and see if there is something that can be right for you.

    Each year, there are more new cases of skin cancer1 than the combined incidence of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers.2 This means 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime3 with 90% resulting from over exposure to the sun. Applying sunscreen is one of the most important steps of a basic skincare routine and it is often the one part many of us forget.

    From foundations infused with SPF to drinkable, all over coverage, Osmosis Pür Medical Skincare shares their top products to easily add sun protection to your daily beauty regime.

    1.     Osmosis Shade Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Moisturizer

    This broad spectrum mineral SPF provides the ultimate protection utilizing both Zinc and Titanium Dioxide. The best part of Shade is that it is also a moisturizer, giving you two steps in one. Arnica Extract, Goji Berry and Cranberry Extract andPassion Fruit Oil protect your skin in the most luxurious way. Arnica helps heal the skin from bruising and current sun damage, while Goji Berry, Cranberry and Passion Fruit Oil provide a whole variety of antioxidants, moisture, free radical protection, and antibacterial/microbial benefits (perfect for those who struggle with acne).

    2.     Osmosis Protect Ultra Sheer SPF 30

    This sheer SPF 30 is gluten free and vegan, giving you ultimate protection from Zinc Oxide. Witch Hazel, Sunflower Oil and Grapefruit Oil treat your skin to light hydration, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.

    3.     Osmosis Colour Pressed Base Mineral Foundations

    If you would like to avoid any concerns about reapplying SPF once you have makeup on, then use the Osmosis Colour Pressed Base Mineral Foundation. Shielding skin from UVA and UVB rays, it offers a constant SPF 27+ protection, once applied evenly all over, that does not expire because minerals are constantly reflecting UV light away from the skin. Flawless and seamless, each shade provides a semi-matte finish with long-lasting coverage. It applies quickly and easily with no mess and is packaged in a stylish mirrored compact. Available in 14 shades.

    Price: $44 from osmosisskincare.com/PressedBase.aspx?cn=18745

    4.     Osmosis Harmonized H20 UV Neutralizer – No Tan Frequency and UV Neutralizer – Tan Enhancing Waters

    Similar to broad spectrum SPF 30 products, both waters result in 3 hours of coverage that can be repeated for extended stays in the sun. This is all done through an innovative new technology utilizing frequencies that work against the damaging effects of the sun. They are perfect for those who tend to forget to apply topical SPF. Each water enhances your body’s defenses to UV rays, while the No Tan Frequency formula keeps your skin from burning or tanning. The UV Neutralizer Tan Enhancing Water formula will help your body’s defenses to UV rays while allowing your skin to get soft, natural color. They allow for increased sun exposure (30x more than normal), protect your eyes, and do not wash off when swimming.

    The Essential 5-Step Guide To Perfect Summer Skin

    Credit

     

    Now that summer is here; you’ll be hanging out outside a lot more now. So you’ll want perfect skin at all times, so you are always looking your best. However, all this hot heat and summer sun can result in dry and flaky skin. Want to know how to get perfect summer skin? Here is my essential 5-step guide.

     

    Drink Plenty Of Water

     

    Just like your body, your skin needs to stay hydrated in the heat. So be sure to drink plenty of H2O. If it is a very hot day, you will be sweating more, which results in your skin losing a lot of its much-needed moisture. So the more you sweat, the more you need to drink! If you leave the house, keep a bottle of water with you so you can stay topped up!

     

    Moisturize Daily

     

    Moisturizing every day is another great way to make sure your skin doesn’t dry out. Be sure to moisturize first thing in the morning before you put your makeup on. The moisturizer will create a smooth surface to help your makeup go on a lot easier. And it can even help it stay on for longer and can help to stop it smudging when you sweat. You will be able to find tinted moisturizers that can help give your skin an awesome summer glow!

     

    Sun Protection

     

    If you are planning on being out in the sun for a long time, you should put plenty of sun cream on. This will keep your skin safe and prevent it from getting sunburnt. Try to find a cream that has a very high SPF. The higher the SPF, the longer you can stay out in the sun without reapplying the cream. If you are planning on going swimming, it can be a good idea to get waterproof sun cream. Protection against the sun is super important for your skin as excessive sunburn can lead to skin cancer.

    Exfoliate

     

    The best way to exfoliate your skin is to dry brush your body. Not only will it make your skin softer and give it a glow, but it also improves its circulation. When you brush, be sure to brush the skin in a direction towards the heart. This improves flow of the blood to the heart which can increase oxygenation in the muscles.

     

    See Your Dermatologist

     

    If you ever have any issues with your skin, such as rashes or frequent breakouts, it is always worth visiting your dermatologist. You can even go to your family doctor if they specialize in general dermatology. A skin specialist will be able to take a look at any issues you have and prescribe you with any necessary creams and lotions. Your skin will improve in no time at all and will be back to its usual healthy self!

    If you follow these five steps, you will see a big improvement in your summer skin. Getting perfect skin is one of the best ways to get a great summer glow and to be beach ready!
