Especially when it comes to skincare it’s essential to address this lack of knowledge, in my book ‘Love The Skin Your In’ hopefully I have addressed some of those issues with information, tips and guidance in a light, friendly manner that all can understand.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH / VITAMIN D

Did you know that Vitamin D plays a huge role in our overall health?
From boosting our immune system to keeping our skin and bones healthy. Vitamin D is an unsung hero.
But here’s the catch, many black people ( not all) are deficient in this crucial vitamin, and it can have serious health impacts. So people bouble up on your Vitamin D as the wether begins to change and there is less sunlight.

ELIZABETH ARDEN RETINOL CERAMIDE CAPSULES

Each pre-measured capsule is formulated with a precise blend dose of pure retinol plus HPR, a next generation retinol, moisture barrier-strengthening ceramides, skin-firming peptides, and soothing botanicals. Use at night if you have never used retinol before I recommend doing a patch test first and introduce the product maybe once or twice a week.

ELIZABETH ARDEN ADVANCED CERAMIDE CAPSULES

Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules, visibly smoother, firmer and youthful appearance.

Why ceramides? A secret to younger looking skin, ceramides are naturally-occurring lipids that help fortify the integrity of skin's moisture barrier. As we age, skin's ceramide levels decrease, resulting in wrinkles, dryness, unevenness and loss of firmness. Reclaim your skin's youth.
