Hair Removal Techniques

If hair removal ranks right up there with bathing suit shopping as a dreaded pre-summer chore, we have great news for you! Skin So Soft Fresh and Smooth hair removal products make it easier than ever to get super smooth whether you prefer to wax, shave or use a depilatory. And, the Fresh and Smooth line has been completely revamped with a new formula, new scents and a new look.
Not sure which one to use? Consider the benefits of each:
Depilatory: Fast! Hair comes off in as little as 2.5 minutes.
Wax: Long-lasting. Plus, you can skip the salon and wax at home!
Shaving: Easy to do in the shower as often as needed.
To try: New Shower-Off Hair Removal Cream. It’s a real time-saver! Here’s how it works: Apply it to dry skin, then step into the shower and follow your usual routine (it’s water-resistant so it won’t wash right off, but you should try to keep treated parts of your skin out of the direct stream of water). After 3 minutes, check the treated area by wiping a small section with the removal sponge provided. When ready, use the sponge to wipe all treated areas of your skin and rinse well. Bonus: it exfoliates at the same time so your skin will be extra smooth. Follow the complete instructions provided for best results.
Save on all the new Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Hair Removal Products on pages 178-179 in the C10 Brochure. 

Test your Sun Smarts Q&A

Think you know everything there is to know about the sun, its effects on your skin and what you can do to stay protected?
How much time in advance should you apply sunscreen prior to sun exposure?
Apply sunscreen liberally and evenly at least 15 – 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply after excessive sweating, perspiring or towel drying.
Do you really need to wear sunscreen every day?
The answer is an absolute YES. Sunscreen should always be applied to skin that will be exposed to the sun. When you consider that the sun’s harmful rays can even penetrate car windows, it makes good sense to apply sunscreen rather than take chances.
How does sunscreen fit into my existing skin care routine?
Simply apply the sunscreen as the final step.
Is there a way to protect skin from the sun while helping to reduce visible signs of aging?
Yes, Anew Sun Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 45 and Anew Sun Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 30 are formulated with RepairShield Technology, which not only protects skin with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, but also helps to reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and discolorations.

Colours you thought you couldn’t wear…

When it comes to colour, sometimes the eye is attracted to bold, fun shades, while the brain is left wondering… “Will that look good on me? Or … Can I really pull that off?” We’re here to tell you the truth behind colour and how everyone, yes everyone, can wear it well.
Today’s formulations are often rich in pigment and high on moisturization. This is particularly true when it comes to lipstick formulas. If you see a colour you like, go ahead and try it. The mix of moisture adds a wearable sheerness to the shades. Moisture Seduction lipstick makes a great choice with its rich, moisture-infused colour.
When it comes to eyes, many new shadows feature high intensity pigments which can create a pop of saturated colour or layered on lightly can deliver a soft n’ natural look. With shadow, it’s all about a light or heavy hand and building intensity till you achieve your desired look. A great place to experiment is with mark on the dot eye color compact.
Mascaras are a great place to experiment with colour. Toss aside your old black for a minute and give navy a try. Yes, navy. You’ll be amazed and how bright the whites of your eyes will appear after a applying a few coats of a Navy mascara like Smooth Minerals Mascara.
Nails are the easiest place to have fun with colour. Bold brights in primary colours and fresh metallics are the new “it” shades. Try Nailwear Pro in Sunshine, Fuchsia, Blue Shock or Tangtastic! Wear them with confidence and think of them as an accessory.

5 Tips for Clearer Skin

hether you suffer from regular or occasional breakouts, changes in season can often trigger a new crop of blemishes. Here are a few simple things that you can do to stop the breakout cycle and reveal a clearer face just in time for spring.
1) Don’t over-cleanse. Skin should be cleansed both morning and night. Over-cleansing strips away your skin’s own natural protective barrier which actually makes it more susceptible to bacteria. Plus, over-cleansing can often make skin oilier since oil glands produce more oil in order to compensate for the natural oils that have been stripped away.
2) Be gentle. People often think that they need to be overzealous in their cleansing routine, when in fact, it’s the total opposite. Always use gentle circular motions when cleansing or exfoliating. Scrubbing will only irritate your skin and aggravate existing breakouts.
3) Never use hot water. Instead, opt for tepid/lukewarm water.
4) Change pillowcases frequently. Oil from your face, hair and hair products can build up on pillowcases. The last thing acne-prone skin needs is more oil and pore-clogging debris.
5) Choose soothing products that are suitable for adult acne. Such formulations are designed to be gentler on skin.
Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment System makes an ideal choice. Just 3 steps, morning and night and you’ll see a difference
in just 3 days!

Make your fragrance last…

The trick to making fragrance last while keeping it subtle is to wear your scent in layers. Start with a scented Shower Gel then while your skin is still damp, apply Body Lotion from the same fragrance line. Finish with a spritz of Perfume Spray or Body Spray before you get dressed –
you want the fragrance on your skin, not your clothes.
If your scent is available in a purse size format, you can add a little refresher before heading out for the evening.
Shopping tip: Holidays are a great time to find deals on fragrance and bath & body layering products. Check out the C9 Mother’s Day deals on Haiku, Imari, Eternal Magic and other popular fragrance layering collections, and on Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Diamond Blush and Naturals

Become an Eye Liner Expert

Love the look of liquid liner but just can’t seem to get it right? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Luckily, an easy solution is in sight. Avon’s new Glimmersticks Liqui-Glide Eye Liner gives you all the control and precision of a pencil while offering the intense look of a liquid liner.

Now you don’t need to shy away form this season’s cat eye trend. Here’s an easy trick to achieve the perfect line. Keep head straight and direct eyes downward as though you are looking at the floor. Then pull eyelid taught with your finger and glide on your liner as close to the lash line as possible. For a more natural look, dab liner into lash-line and blend.

4 Tips for Packing Light!

Okay, admit it. We’re all guilty of over-packing our luggage at some point in time and bringing way more stuff than we could ever possibly need. So how do we break this bad habit and spend less time at the airport carousel and more time enjoying your destination? Just follow these clever packing tips:

1. Choose multitasking outfits that work for day or night and stick with lightweight fabrics. Prints also make a good choice as wrinkles will show less. Our choices: It’s a long story dress from mark and the One Shoulder Printed top from Avon.




2. You don’t need as many pairs of shoes as you think! Lay your outfits out on the bed, then choose a pair of shoes that coordinate with as many of them as possible. Our choice: The Beaded Toe Loop Sandals from Avon look as great with swimwear as they do with a sundress or capris. If you prefer a little height: The Mirror Reflections Wedge, also from Avon makes a fun and versatile choice.
 

3. Smaller is better when it comes to traveling with toiletries.
a) Smaller formats take up less room.
b) Keeping your bottles under 100 ml means they meet airport security regulations and are allowed in your carry-on. Our choice: Purchase an Anew Regimen Starter kit. You get a 2-week supply!




  4. Have a few items that might be prone to wrinkling? No problem, just wrap them up in the plastic bags that your dry-cleaning comes in, then place them in your suitcase. You’ll be amazed at what a difference this little trick can make.

Save Your Skin!

Did you know that most premature skin damage is caused by the sun’s harmful UV rays? Put the odds on your side and protect your skin daily with Anew Sun. Not only does it protect with broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, but it’s also formulated with RepairShield Technology to reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and discolorations. Get the benefits each time you use Anew Sun Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 45 and Anew Sun Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 30.

Here’s how to fit Anew Sun Sunscreen Lotions into your daily skincare regimen: Just apply the sunscreen as the final step. Then reapply after towel-drying or excessive perspiration.
And remember, sunscreen should be applied liberally, at least 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure. If you wait until you’re already outside or until skin shows signs of redness, the damage has already begun to take effect.
Don’t take chances with your skin. Stay protected!

Seasonal changes affecting your skin?

Just as the seasons change, so too does our skin. While you might be anxious for spring, your skin might still be suffering from winter’s ill effects. Recognize these signs? Dullness, dry patches, uneven skin tone and just plain fatigued-looking skin… If this sounds like you, here’s how to remedy the situation:
 
1) Exfoliate: Sweep away dry flakes and dull skin with a gentle exfoliant. Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System makes an ideal choice because it allows you to gradually adjust your level of exfoliation.
 
2) Hydrate: After rinsing off your exfoliator and while skin is still damp, apply your moisturizer. Anew makes formulas to address skin concerns at any age. When it comes to applying your moisturizer, it’s not enough to just smooth it on; you need to gently massage it in until the product has the chance to penetrate. This extra effort alone will make a huge difference in your skin’s hydration level throughout the day.
 
3) Protect: If you knew that there was a way to protect your skin from premature aging and future sun damage, wouldn’t you? Well, that’s what sunscreen does. And now, there’s a formula that does more than just protect. Anew Sun Sunscreen Face Lotion also reduces visible signs of aging. Plus it’s lightweight and quick-absorbing.

Mistake-proof Makeup

Finding the perfect shade of foundation is an endless pursuit for many. There are some tricks to help make the task easier, such as testing 2-3 shades along your jawline, then blending them into the skin. The one that seems to disappear into the skin is the right match.

Now what if we told you that there was an even easier way to find your perfect shade in just one step? Avon’s new Ideal Shade Custom Shade Foundation Lotion makes it possible. Simply select from the three skin tone families: Light, Medium or Medium Deep. Then apply the lotion to your face. It starts out white, and then transforms to blend in with your skin tone. The coverage is sheer and makes an ideal choice for spring and summer.
