TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Tools of the Trade

Now, let’s talk about my favorite beauty gadget, the pretty and functional facial roller! It has taken off in popularity over the last couple of years and I recently upgraded to an electric one which took my rolling game to the next level! Dermatologists say that the benefit of jade rollers and facial massage tools are to improve circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage to make skin de-puff and glow more.

Personally, I notice a difference under my eyes when the oil is penetrated into that area with this face roller. These four oils are the ones I go to the most. They each feel so beautiful going on along with their signature fragrance and ingredients that really work well for my skin. Use the gold-infused oil under your makeup for radiant skin. Use Code GG20 for Ayr Skincare for your discount!

I recently discovered this new electric ZAQ amythest roller at this year’s Indie Beauty Expo, it massages my face and feels invigorating on my skin (I use it all the time) When I use it in conjunction with my oils, it’s like getting a mini face massage in my home, perfect for a “pick me up.”

Don’t forget to use the leftover essence inside. Rub on your neck, chest and hands. A little goes a long long way.

Hot tip: you can also use them to roll over the top of a sheet mask to soak up more benefits! My latest Korean face mask obsession is by Chok Chok Skincare. Talk about dewy and luminous! Eighteen active ingredients all with a mission to brighten, hydrate and firm!

I never thought that face oils would work for me. I use to have cystic acne in my 40’s…those nasty hormonal cyst’s. the thought of putting oil on my skin didn’t compute. Now, it’s been a huge help with dryness and hydration. Olie x Melissa Meyers Golden Ray Drops with French Marine Algae are a standout! They are active and powerful, and that’s what I look for being in my 50s! Every day I learn more and more about the power of plants after all nature is so powerful so of course it’s worth looking into.
If you’re looking for a natural boost from a plant-based oil to replenish dry & dull skin- this oil is a stand-out!

Yes I know there are sooo many products out there and when you find the ones that your skin responds to, that’s exciting because you know if you’re having one of those ”off” days you’ll find a nice ally in dependable brands.

Thank you for reading, treat yourself…you deserve it!

Linda Thompson, founder of Olie Biologique, is a pioneer in face oils of all types, and says of this launch, “We think everyone should have access to our line of face oils, the modern moisturizer, but the reality is that beauty and skincare products are a luxury to many, especially to those for whom fresh produce is out of reach. RoseGlow Drops deliver much-needed nourishment to the skin and also to those in need: one bottle sold means one week of fresh fruits and vegetables via Project Angel Food.”

Melissa and Linda shared a desire to create a product that would give back. Five dollars from the sale of every bottle of RoseGlow Drops will go towards Project Angel Food to provide a week’s worth of fresh fruits and vegetables to those battling serious illnesses.

The campaign surrounding RoseGlow Drops promotes their mission by encouraging fans to share their photos with the hashtags #theglowthatgivesback, #unselfishselfcare and #selfcareforgood. I'm so proud of Melissa and her partnership with Olie and the fact that every bottle gives back to Project Angel Food.

I use to be apprehensive about applying oil to my face, I would just imagine the possible breakouts. Now, these RoseGlow drops are a welcomed part of my daily routine. When I travel I apply over my face a neck. Not only does it feel fantastic, but the fragrance is beautiful. During the day just pat a little onto your skin and you're good to Glow!
