Sheer Goddess Skin Care

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet almond oil is one of the most effective ingredients in the world of moisturizing but very seldom mention or even used.
 
It's has the ability to target very dry patches on your face and even out the pH.  
 
It is an anti inflammatory helping to calm skin irritations.
 
It absorbs quickly without a greasy feeling, which is very good for messages.
 
Because it absorbs quickly and well, it fights wrinkles.
 
All of these wonderful attributes yet still get little attention except from those who really know skin care.  www.sheergoddess.com has a natural product that contains sweet almond oil - Phraeda’s Day Dreaming Night Rich Moisture Crème. 
 
Phraeda's Day Dreaming Night Rich Moisture Crème, is light enough to use under makeup and powerful enough to use a night crème.  Containing other beneficial ingredient, you are sure to see anti aging result.  
 
There are many other products on the website that have the outstanding benefit of being all natural.

Bright Eyes

Almost every morning when I wake up, I look like I haven’t slept at all.  My face is puffy and my eyes have big dark circles.  I am down right scary.  Of course I have to figure out a way to revive my skin.  A piece of ice smoothed over your face will create circulation and bring color to the surface.  Tea spoons kept in the freezer will help your under eyes return from frog to fab (hold gently on your under eyes for about 30 second and put the spoons back in the freezer). 

Drink a little caffeine of your choice and now get ready for your day.  A clean and healthy complexion is your best canvas.  www.sheergoddess.com offers two natural, gentle and effective options for you to try.

Phraeda’s Dew Fresh Cleansing Gel and Moisturizing Facial Toner Duo Pack (great for warm weather use).

Phraeda’s Marmalade Dreams Facial Cleanser and Toner Duo Pack (wonderful when you really need to perk up).

You may want to order both packs and alternate they are both healing and gentle as well as easy to use.  A little goes a long way.  And bonus, it is completely natural so you will not have any irritation.

Don’t forget to curl your eyelashes before mascara; your eye will look more awake and younger.

Stay Beautiful, XO Ann

 

 

 

Sun burn ouch!

Being pale and almost see through the sun has never been my friend.  Even my 10 minute walk to my transportation wreaks havoc on my face.  It is not because the sun is so much stronger, it is because I have skin like everyone else.  Wearing sun screen can only do so much, especially right now when Summer Solstice is only days away.  The beautiful sun is here and visible almost 15 hours a day, which means…sunburn.

Ouch, ouch, ouch sunburn is not only painful but also a bit ugly too when you start to peel.  www.sheergoddess.com has a moisturizer with vitamin E – which is the most recommended solution for your sunburn.

Phraeda’s Tea Rose Luxurious Body Smoothing Lotion contains vitamin E, which is a healing agent for your skin.  It also contains Aloe and Rosemary for soothing and Witch Hazel as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. 

The smooth cool texture will calm your sensitive nerves while providing much needed moisture.  Moisturizing your skin will not only make you feel better, but will also reduce peeling.

There are many other wonderful and natural products to choose from on www.sheergoddess.com.

Vitamin A

As usual, I was asking questions about skin care and anti aging yesterday.  I had a conversation with a certified esthetician and asked her what the best ingredient for anti aging is? She said retinol, which translated means Vitamin A.
 
Retinol which is vitamin A have the ability to help slough off dead skin which clogs pours.  Clogged pores make the skin look dull and older.
 
The vitamin A helps to balance your skins PH and additionally holds onto moisture.  Of course that esthetician was selling a product was very expensive and could only be purchased at a spa. 
 
You can get spa quality products at www.sheergoddess.com for a fraction of the price, and they are all natural.  Phraeda's Hibiscus and White Ginger Night Cream contains Pro vitamin A.  The gentleness and the soothing power are sure to answer your anti aging prayers. 
 
There are many other natural and gentle products to choose from that are also very effective.

Glow!

I had a Saturday off; what a relief! However, I am so used to getting things done that I rushed around and was done before noon. So I turned on QVC, which I love, and they were selling a body lotion with over 100 ingredients; most of them contrived and man-made for $80.00 (6 oz bottle).  What all the ingredients did I have no idea.  I listened to the whole list and then looked it up.  While some of the ingredients were very good, they were diluted by the other ingredients rendering them ineffective.

It reminded me that www.sheergoddess.com offers a much better all natural product for $15.95 (8 oz bottle).  Phraeda’s Tea rose Luxurious Body Smoothing Lotion lasts for 24 hours and has active potent ingredients sure to smooth and nourish your skin.  It contains Black Willow bark which is a natural salicylic acid and an anti-inflammatory which is perfect for the upcoming chilly months.

Black willow bark was used by Native American to sooth dry skin, as well as the Greek, Roman, and Japanese cultures for skin irritations.  You can’t argue with history.

There are several other natural and helpful ingredients that will protect and soothe your delicate skin. The added bonus is you will glow too!

An Ounce of Prevention...

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.   This is true for every part of your life. Planning and doing well will always save you money, time, and headaches.  Little things like planning your work clothes the night before and packing your lunch really reduce your stress in the morning.  Make doctor and hair appointments in advance so you go when it is convenient for you, not just when they have a time slot. This is a great way to stay ahead of the game.
 
With the cost of food rising, meal planning isn't a bad idea either. It saves you money and tons of time because you have planned your grocery list and purchased what you need.
 
So now your clothes are ironed, you have your meals planned, and you can take left over’s for lunch.  Also you have just saved money.  You have more time to sleep and work out etc...  You also have more time to pamper yourself and your loved ones.  Treating yourself doesn't have to be a big deal; it could be moisturizing your legs and feet. www.sheergoddess.com has the perfect treat for you.  PHRAEDA'S TEA ROSE LUXOURIOUSE BODY SMOOTHING LOTION is a natural and soothing body cream.  The silk proteins protect your skin allowing it to breathe and gain moisture at the same time. 
 
Planning sound like an exhausting task, but it save time, money, and reduces stress...and will increase your over all happiness.
 
Stay Beautiful, XO Ann
