Hidden BC secrets and my faves

Many people overlook some fabulous products we carry in our catalogue if they aren't shown to you at a spa. I am going to touch base on some of my favorites so you get to know products other than a basic description in the catalogue.

Spa Collection Organic Enzyme Body Masque $30.00

I love this mask! Even though it says "Body" Masque you can use it anywhere! The active enzymes actually chew away at your dead skin cells leaving your skin exfoliated in a natural way.
When put on your face it actually heats up and your face goes all red. The instructions say to leave it on your face starting at 2 minutes. I now leave mine on up to 15 minutes. It feels almost sunburned by time I wash it off. But my skin feels so lovely and smooth afterwards.
You could also do this prior to microderm abrasion for an extra kick! But only leave it on a few minutes if you intend to microderm.

The scent is very clean smelling, if anyone has tried the therapuetic bath minerals it is the same wonderful smell. Use this product anywhere you have skin, great for feet, hands, legs...you name it. A great BC hidden gem!

Perfecting Wet/Dry Finish $30.00
I have always hated the look and feel of foundation! I always notice when a person is wearing too much foundation especially if they choose the wrong color and try to add a fake tan. My thought is if you can "see" your foundation, throw it out!
Because I am a consultant I got a free foundation to wear and I thought I would give it a try. All our foundations for one are color matched to suit your skin, so you don't "see" it. The wet/dry foundation can be applied various ways. You can wet the sponge that is hidden in the mesh compartment below the foundation (amazing how many people don't realize this spot!) then swipe the wet sponge over the foundation and lightly apply it all over your face. It will blend in nicely given you a much more even skin tone, but without completely covering freckles and imperfections giving you a very natural look. I am not perfect and I don't mind showing imperfections, they make me look human. You can also use the sponge dry and dab or blot on the product as necessary mid day. You can also use a powder brush and apply it dry all over the face for a very nice skin coverage as well. It's up to you.
The best part about it is I am not feeling claustrophic from being smothered in gunk like other foundations I have tried, I can't tell I am wearing it, nor can anyone else. It is truly the most amazing foundation I have tried. After 2 years am still working on the same container and still have lots left.
If you look at my picture here on my blog I am wearing the wet/dry, very subtle and natural, but you can still tell its me under the makeup! I LOVE it!
