Carats are Good for Eyes

To me, fair friend, you never can be old
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.
William Shakespeare

The skin around the eye is thin, so it is more prone to puffiness. Lymphatic drainage is the key to facial freshness, and the Clarisonic Opal gently stimulates the lymph, to help it move along. It is only a minute a day, or so, depending on your level of enthusiasm. Results are visible the first time, and are of course, cumulative. Serums penetrate deeper, keeping the muscles moist and plump.
Body Nurish  and  Power Repair both make great eyecreams, and the easiest eye brigthtener is this: rub the palms of your hands briskly together, until heat is generated then cup your hands over your eyes, and feel the energy shift. After a minute or so, remove your hands, your eyes will look soft and relaxed.
Carats of course are good for eyes.

Facial Clarity, Beauty, and Lifting with Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymph Drainage for the face is de rigueur for our French cousins, and gaining in popularity here. The face treatment works to get rid of excess fluid in the face, reducing bags under the eyes,  firming jawline, making eyes more clear and leaving the skin with an inner glow. A contoured, lifted face is the result.
After a lymphatic drainage treatment, you skin will be clear, smooth, toned and lifted, as the toxins are gently carried away. Drinking copious amounts of water enhances the treatment.
Vitamin C helps move lymph, as do products with geranium oil, such as Power Repair Face Cream. Between salon appointments, Clarisonic Opal and the Clarisonic Skin Care system both gently move lymph along daily. The LightStim LED helps too, as LED  light can promote lymphatic circulation and body metabolism.

While You Were Sleeping

William Morris wallpaper
"Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care.." 
Shakepeare, Macbeth

On the days when the fondue fork of life stabs you in the palm of your hand, when you open the mail box expecting a thank you note and a moth flies out, when your hourglass shaped bottle of eau-de-vie brandy is empty, save for the soaked pear you can't figure out how to retrieve, here is the cure.
Put on Brahms "Lullabye", or some Bach. When you sleep, beauty products are able to work more effectively. The purpose of sleep is repair.
The first step in this lovely routine is enjoy the Power Repair Facial Steam  - you will feel your day improving, as you experience the roses, lavender, and chamomile. Then massage Fruity Lift into your face. Here, either use cuppping or apply Power Repair Exfoliant, a healing mask. I apply it directly over the Fruity Lift, it seems to act as an accelerant. After the mask dries, shower to wash away the cares of the day.
In the shower, wash with Power Repair on your Clarisonic Brush. Out of the shower, apply the Power Repair Toner, the smell is divine, and it calms the skin. Then apply a generous amount of Power Repair Vitamin C Solution. If I were ever only allowed one beauty product on earth, this would be it.
Applying this cools, clarifies, and brightens your skin. I apply another layer of Vitamin C, then Power Repair Cream. Sometimes I apply the eye cream with Clarisonic Opal, for deeper product penetration.
A generous amount lets it work as a mask while you sleep. The vitamin C moves lymph for a more contoured face, you wake up clear and radiant.
Vitamin C Solution over a clean and exfoliated face is my favorite facial, home or salon.
The common denominator in Power Repair, Body Nurish, and Super Salve products is the ingredients are so pure and so intense, each time you wash is an event. The pleasant experience is as intense as the results. With so many beauty products, the rush is the packaging.
The above products are a great value and can all be purchased for less than a salon facial, with greater results.
In the morning you will look your best for any occasion. Making the mundane special is the most elegant.

Clarisonic Opal

Perhaps you are staying at a friend's house for the weekend, and some cad picks up your Clarisonic Opal, all sleek and white off your night stand, and makes a moue with his mouth as he begins to chide you and ask questions, the type that if you need to ask, you wouldn't get it anyway. So shriek, grab the precious white oval, and say "Don't touch that- Steve Jobs asked me to try out the new phone." and flounce off.
