— La'NA'

While many of us are experiencing the usual and unexpected winter weather, LaNÉ thought a reminder for protecting your skin through the winter season would be helpful while waiting for the arrival of the warmer seasons of spring and summer. You’ll have an edge to healthier skin and one less thing to fret over when the fun-time summer season is here.

Therefore, bearing in mind a goal to achieve healthier skin naturally, let’s consider a promising process with a K.I.S.S.-best remembered as Keep It Simple Solutions:

A facial cleansing should be gentle, soothing, healing, calming, and renewing for healthy skin. Using tepid [lukewarm] water and the Simplicité facial cleansers most suitable for your skin type washes away unwanted substances, such as dirt, cosmetics, oils, bacteria, sweat and dead skin cells. Excessive scrubbing is unnecessary and has been said to aggravate the skin.

Leave your skin wet for the next step to healthier skin.

Toning Lotion

What is the purpose of a toner? Toners are used to purify the skin and reduce the size of pores. We like Simplicité’s approach to “feeding the skin” back to better health. Their toning lotions are “nurtients in solution;” Flower Water Toning Lotions contain natural surfactants that soften the skin and help with the absorption of Simplicité hydrating face oils.

Why do we follow their lead in encouraging a toning lotion as part of daily skin care? Simplicite’s flower essences provide a boost to the sense of well-being through their aromatherapy effect. Soothing and rejuvenating to the appearance of the skin, toning lotions also have natural antibacterial properties.

Don’t pat your skin dry just yet.

Moisturizing

Ms. Dorothy took us neighbor gals under her wings, reminding us regularly to moisturize our skin. Well into her 80s she had the softest, most touchable skin.

As a younger lad, my husband had a facial injury requiring stitches. After evaluating the situation, the plastic surgeon’s first remark was the quality of care my husband gave his face. Moisturizing isn’t only for women, or for normal/dry/ageing skin conditions. Even oily skin needs a moisturizer which is specific to combination/oily/sensitive skin conditions.

Why moisturize? If you want a soft, supple, and a fresh complexion, you want to make moisturizing second nature in your daily hygiene. Do you know, 95 percent of every skin cell should consist of water? Adequate moisture, therefore, is the key to having supple skin. Not only will you look and feel better but maintaining proper skin moisture also prevents scaling, cracking, irritation, eczema and infections. Every time you step out of the shower,  play sports, ride bikes or garden,  your skin is constantly robbed of its moisture.

Lock in moisture within the skin, while still wet with water, using a face oil for deep hydration to the skin, followed by Simplicité day moisturizing protection with your skin in mind.

When nighttime falls and you are too tired to give a thought to your skin, think about how many times your hands have touched your face that day, possibly little hands of children patting your face leaving all those germs sitting on your skin. Make cleansing, toning, and moisturizing with a Simplicité night creme an achievement for your nighttime restoration.

Protecting

The most effective way to prevent premature ageing of the skin is to shield it from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. You might like the looks of a suntan, but wrinkling, blotchy brownish discoloration, sunburns and skin cancers are the prices people pay as a result.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the choices of products offered, Simplicité Alba-White Day Creme simplifies moisturizing and sun protection.

We at La’NÉ are confidant that today’s discerning consumers know the value of taking special care of the skin; after all, it was a part of hygiene lessons at home and in school. Through the years better known as “life” the busyness of everyday responsibilities has taken precedence over the small things that make a first impression. We hope to help you rediscover small changes for a lasting best impression.

La’NE feels that skin care should be simple, ingredients should work with your skin and be safe to use. As misguided messages barrage us, the herbalist behind these products stands as one of the core reasons for choosing Simplicité solutions as our product choice for the U.S. In turn, we encourage you to make personal skincare choices based upon meaningful knowledge rather than promotional hype.

La’NÉ invites you to review Simplicité products or to contact us with your questions.
