Makeup Brush Yuck!

Do you clean your makeup brushes enough?? Not doing so can lead to a lot of bacterial growth and in turn, blemishes and breakouts. You should clean your brushes and sponges with a mild liquid soap, squeezing out any excess water with a towel and letting them air dry, every two weeks.

Your SPF

Your SPF

The key to determining your SPF is identifying your skin type. Here are the six main skin types. Determine which one you are and then reference the SPF Chart below to maximize your protection when exposing yourself to the sun. Following these basic guidelines should ensure a nice even tan without burning.

Type 1 - Always burns easily, never tans, extremely sun sensitive. Includes red heads, freckle faced individuals.

Type 2 - Burns easily, tans minimally, also sun sensitive. Includes fair skinned, fair haired people. Many Northern Europeans fall into this group.

Type 3 - Sometimes burns, tans gradually to light brown, some sun sensitivity. Common among darker haired Caucasians.

Type 4 - Burns minimally, tans to moderate brown, and virtually no sun sensitivity.

Type 5 - Rarely burns, tans well, sun-insensitive skin. Includes Middle Eastern People, some Hispanics, some African Americans, and some native Americans.

Type 6 - Never burns, deeply pigmented, sun-insensitive skin.

Ingredients From A-Z: Know What's in Your Skin Care #3

Acetone: a solvent considered to be noncomedogenic. It is occasionally used in skin toner but it is drying and could potentially be very irritating to the skin with frequent use. Also used to remove nail polish. Beware: high levels of acetone are toxic.

Ingredients From A-Z: Know What's in Your Skin Care #2

Acacia Extract: commonly used in old-time remedies as a soothing anti-inflammatory agent. Also used as a thickening agent, this extract is recommended for dry, sensitive skin. Acacia is the dried gummy sap from the stems and branches of the African acacia tree. Beware: allergic reactions are possible in the form of a skin rash.

On a side note, did you know that Acacia Tree Wellness (massage therapy) is located right across the hall from KB Organic Skin Care & Waxing??
