Mischo Beauty Pick: Avon's ANEW CLINICAL Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum

I haven't talked about serums, as they relate to a complete skincare regimen in a while, and thought Avon's new ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum was definitely worth checking out. The benefits of serums, as discussed here, are amazing and I highly encourage incorporating them into your at-home skincare regimen.

Now the ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum is recommended for all skin types, but specifically for those who are experiencing the following skin conditions: premature aging, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and dullness (be sure to read this!). The serum's key ingredient, L-Aspartic Acid, works to prevent discoloration while removing dead skin cells. And what I'm loving most is Avon's Skincare Quiz which helps you determine the best regimen of products for your skin's needs!

If your at-home skincare regimen includes a serum, please let me know what you're using and why?

Mischo Beauty Pick: Avon ANEW

If you've never heard of the Avon ANEW collection of products, then you should make it a point to check out the website ASAP! By now you all know that I have this serious love affair going on with skin (well skin and hair- they're tied! LOL), which is why I've stressed the importance of a consistent skincare regimen about a million times! Well, after checking out the ANEW collection of products (which are formulated for the premature aging/aging skin condition) I'm impressed and thought you all should know about them!

First of all, be sure to take the ANEW Skincare Quiz when you visit the website, because it takes the guessing out of which products are best for you. After taking the quiz, you're given a list of products recommended for your specific needs, and you're also told which to use in the morning and at night.

So why should you try these products? Well, the promise of consistent cell turnover (which keeps skin looking young and fresh), tiny pores, the reduction of fine lines and an even skintone! I'm sold. And guess what? You have no excuses for not using this collection to start an amazing skincare regimen.

If you've tried this collection, please let us know your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty Loves Rodial Skincare

This post is specifically for those of you with a premature aging/aging skin condition. And before I continue, it's important to know the difference between "skin type" and "skin condition". We're born with our skin types (genetically determined), whereas skin conditions (dehydration, pigmentation, aging, breakouts, etc.) are most often caused by external factors and may change from day to day. Half the challenge of achieving healthy skin is knowing your skin type and skin conditions, and then being able to select the appropriate skincare line.

With that said, I'm excited to introduce you to Rodial skin care products, whose tag line (which I happen to love) is "The glamorous alternative to surgery". What's most important about this skincare line is that it features "Pomegranate Ellagic Tannin", which is an antioxidant, collagen booster and firming agent. So what does this all really mean? This skincare line is supposed to correct skin conditions such as wrinkles, loose skin, pigmentation and the list goes on and on....

Excited yet? I know I am! Be sure to check out the Glam Balm Wipes (great for makeup removal) and the LA Face Lift kit (perfect for those of you who travel frequently and great for those of you determined to implement a consistent/complete skincare regimen).

If you're using or have tried this line, please share your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Organic Argan Oil

If you've been keeping up with my blog, you all know how much I love jojoba oil and how I've discussed it's use in a variety of hair, skin and nail products. Well I must let you all know that I have a new love and it's Argan Oil. It differs from jojoba oil in that it's extracted from the Argan Tree, which only grows in Morocco and it's very rich in Vitamin E (antioxidant) and essential fatty acids which work together to prevent signs of aging! Premature aging is caused by free radicals which damage skin cells, destroying the skin's collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin begins to sag and show fine lines and wrinkles. Prevention is the key and once I discovered Argan Oil I couldn't wait to start using it. I've been using it at night after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing and I've been waking up to smooth, glowing skin. I'm sure to double cleanse in the morning before applying my eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup for the day.

Argan Oil is similar to jojoba oil in that it is also a great moisturizer for hair, skin and nails. And the beauty industry has jumped on the bandwagon! If you haven't noticed, you'll begin to see major cosmetic companies incorporating it into their beauty products. But, nothing beats using the pure 100% certified organic version! It's fragrance free, paraben free and not tested on animals. Because of it's multi-use, you're getting anti-aging benefits, a hair conditioner, body moisturizer and nail strengthener all in one- and that you can't beat!

Is anyone using Argan Oil? Any thoughts?

I can’t begin to name all the reasons why you should incorporate facials into your beauty routine, right now, TODAY! Not only are facials relaxing and pampering, but they are crucial to maintaining the health of your skin. First, let’s understand what exactly a facial is! A facial is a service performed by an esthetician designed to improve and revive the skin. They help maintain the skin’s health and correct certain skin conditions through deep cleansing, massage, and the use of masks and other products and treatments. Here are a few of the many benefits:

1. SLOWS DOWN PREMATURE AGING
2. Deep cleansing
3. Deep exfoliation
4. Increases circulation & detoxifies
5. A skin analysis, product prescription and custom home regimen from an esthetician
6. Stimulates skin renewal and metabolism
7. Corrects or alleviates conditions such as dryness, oiliness and redness
8. Softens wrinkles and aging lines
9. Helps clear up blemishes and minor acne
