While I'm not offering to babysit your kids, although that would free up some of your time to get a facial, I will tell you about a company that aims to pare down your beauty routine into something that even the busiest woman should be able to handle. Mèreadesso Woman has a line of skincare that consists of just 3 products - a cleanser for your face and neck, a toning gel for your face and neck and their latest addition, a body balm to moisturize everything below your neck.
No more skin types, zones, layered steps or time of day.
Beautiful Body Balm - 200ml - $54 - a high performance , non-greasy, all over body balm, hand moisturizer and foot cream for mean and women of all ages and skin types. Blended with 8 vitamins and minerals, along with 28 globally sourced botanical extracts and the most wonderful citrus scent! My skin has been doing weird things adjusting itself to the temperature change from winter to summer and parts of me have actually been drier and flakier then they were when it was cold out! It was also smart to tell me that this could be used on my feet as well because it made me remember to actually moisturize my feet everyday which I really should be doing now that it's sandal season and they are on display! The balm feels very luxurious going on, absorbs easily and dries immediately!
The other two products in the line are:
Face + Neck Cleanser - 120ml - $45 - a non-foaming all-in-one makeup remover, mask, scrub and toner that will even conquer waterproof mascara. Effective as a deep cleanser but gentle enough for use around the eye area. Comes with a specially designed cleansing cloth.
Face + Neck Toning Gel - 50ml - $120 - a complete multi-vitamin, antioxidant and mineral supplement for the skin. Sourced from around the world, there are 16 botanical extracts, 7 minerals, a complex of vitamins and enzymes and over 20 different antioxidants all combined in a light weight gel-lotion.
Linda Stephenson, the founder and creator of Mèreadesso Woman and a 21 year veteran of the beauty industry was kind enough to share some tips on taking your face from winter into summer:
As we go from
winter to summer with the temperature rising, you may want to "lighten up" on
moisturizers - with Mèreadesso users, if you use 2 pumps of the Face & Neck
Toning Gel in the winter, you may only need one. Also, a big part of the summer
skincare is sunscreens. If you are planning to apply sunscreens - they tend to
be heavy, so you should always try to use those that have been designed for the
face and not the body. Also, test your sunscreen on your jaw line - sometimes,
people experience breakouts from their sunscreens because of the heavy bases.
And finally, even if you wear very little make-up during the summer months, if
you are using a sunscreen, it is still very important to thoroughly wash your
face at the end of the day - especially if using waterproof/sports versions.
Sunscreens as beneficial as they are, still contain lots of chemicals that you
don't want on your skin for 24 hours. We highly recommend our Face & Neck
Cleanser which will remove all makeup and sunscreens gently.
In terms of makeup - especially if you "get a little sun", foundations that you use in the winter can suddenly look chalky and unnatural - I always recommend using a bronzing powder in summer- easier to control and blend when your skin may have gotten a little uneven in colour/tone.
