For those of you that saw the before and after photos at World Conference, I’m sure you are a true believer in what MATRISKIN™ can do for you. JR and I are absolutely in love with the dramatic changes we have seen in our skin, so I want to share some extra info with you all so that you get the most out of the product (and your money).
Here are the directions you should follow when using MATRISKIN™:
- MATRISKIN™ Collagen MP Serum can be used both in the daytime and at night time.
- It should be used AFTER cleansing and toning your skin but BEFORE putting on moisturizer
- Apply half a pipette on the face, neck and eyes and gently massage into your skin. Around the eye area, where skin is more delicate, dab the serum on gently ensuring complete penetration

MATRISKIN™ Collagen MP Serum truly is a revolutionary anti-aging serum that will visibly reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. Matriskin™ did a study on 600 different people before bringing this product to Market America and here are the exciting overall results:
- Dramatic improvement to skin texture and firmness
- Improvement seen across all ages from 20 years old to 80
- Glow and skin hydration seen in all cases
You will see a difference almost overnight in the firmness, texture and luminosity of your skin. And the best part, this is the first time MATRISKIN™ Collagen MP Serum has been sold in the United States!
For those of you that already use MATRISKIN™, or plan on ordering the product in the future, please feel free to email me at loren@myfashioncents with your opinions/comment/before and after photos! It would make me very happy to see the fantastic MATRISKIN™ results on my favorite people J

You can read a great review by BeautySnob on my Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Lifting Facial Masque – http://www.beautysnob.com/2010/02/cellular_laboratories_de-aging.html I love this site and you should definitely check it out :)

I have also had a few emails asking the order of the No-Shine spray and 10 Years Younger – here is how to apply:
- No more shine goes on first under foundation, 10 years younger goes on last after all of your make-up is done.
- No More Shine can be used throughout the day if your skin becomes oily again.
If you have any more questions, just shoot me an email or tweet me @myfashioncents

For me, wearing makeup is about looking brighter, healthier and sexier. With this in mind, I can’t overstate the importance of blending everything perfectly. Even if you’re wearing a smoky eye, you don’t want the effect to look harsh or hard-edged. One easy way to get this done is to apply your makeup with Motives’ expert brushes, which allow for more precise application and blending. Another handy trick: Once you’ve finished applying your makeup, take a velour puff and lightly sweep it over your face. Finally, if you have any fine lines at the outer corners of your eyes, dab a touch of eye cream there to soften the whole effect. I swear by Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Eye Crème — so light and refreshing!

I tell my girlfriends all the time—and pretty much anyone else that will listen—the secret to great skin is as much about what you do at night, as it is during the day. So give your skin that little extra attention before bed with a new routine. Here, a daily guide to getting noticeably better skin in less than 10 minutes a day.

Sunday: Start your week off with a Cellular Laboratories Face-Lifting Masque. Wash your face first with Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Cleansing Emulsion, then apply the purifying sheet directly to your skin. Leave the masque on for 10 minutes. You will feel it start to slightly harden right before it’s ready for removal. Dispose of the sheet after use. You will notice softer, brighter skin right away.
Monday: Cleanse skin with Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Cleansing Emulsion. Pat face dry, then immediately apply a finger-sized amount of Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Eye Cream to your eyes and Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Cream to your face and neck. You want to apply both creams while your skin is freshly washed, so the product is allowed to sink in.

This is a mistake that can easily be avoided by simply preparing your skin by exfoliating every morning in the shower a few days before you apply self-tanner. Use a moisturizer liberally for the days before you self-tan, but not immediately before-hand (it will interfere with the self-tanner’s absorption). Shaving also exfoliates, so it’s OK to do that a day ahead of time too. And wait at least a full day before de-fuzzing again; doing so sooner will shorten the life of your tan.
When applying the tanner, work slowly and rub the product in completely. If you’re prone to streaks, I’d recommend using a lotion. Sun Laboratories makes a great product called Dark Sunsation Self-Tan lotion. It gives you a natual looking tan without orange look or the funky smell. The great thing about this product is that it has a built-in color guide, a dark temporary color that lets you see exactly where youre applying the product–it’s foolproof!
Avoid blotchy spots on drier skin around your ankles, elbows and knuckles by making sure you exfoliate those areas with some extra TLC. Also, be sure to use a rich moisturizer regularly. When applying the tanner, you’ll get the most natural look if you dilute the self-tanner with an equal amount of moisturizer before applying it to your feet, ankles, elbows and knees, as well as to the inside of your arms and under your chin.
If you still wind up with dark blotches, hop into the shower after the tanner has finished developing and scrub the dark blotches gently with a loofah. Then slather on a moisturizer and repeat the proccess in 24 hours.
