A fellow Esthetician and Makeup Artist recommended these products to me a while back. I am a strong believer in enzyme proteins and the benefits they have on human skin.

“Epicuren enzymes are metabolically active with the skin. The enzyme proteins that make our products unique are organ-specific, and speed up the cellular activity of dermal cells so that the dermis becomes self-rejuvenating. To understand exactly how these enzyme-proteins work, you will need to experience them for yourself. The ageless results that you achieve with Epicuren are unlimited. Believe it. Epicuren Discovery is a professional enzyme skin treatment product line distributed through certified product manufacturer’s representatives. Epicuren products are sold only by salons & health centers with licensed aestheticians trained and certified in epicuren enzyme skin care or physician supervised skin treatment centers.”

I struggled with my own skin in the past that left me with some scarring . Ann used the glycolic on me a few times and my skins apperance is remarkably smoother and clearer. I also use the “After Bath” lotion created by Epicuren. After the shower or bath I apply it to my body from head to toe. Not only do I have complete strangers approach me to say how nice I smell but my skin feels like satin or silk (whichever you prefer.) My skin is extremely sensitive so I am very cautious when trying a new product. With the all natural ingredients your sure to notice a difference immediately. Check it out today!! http://www.epicuren.com/simplybest.htm

I wanted you all to understand the concept of mineral makeup and what makes La Bella Donna so amazing. Here is some info from the La Bella Donna Website, I find to be helpful in understanding the difference between minerals and synthetic cosmetics.

“The pioneer of mineral-based cosmetics in the United States, La Bella Donna was introduced in premier destination and day spas in 1994. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons recommend it for laser post-op coverage and for women with sensitive, problem or allergy-prone skin. La Bella Donna is available nationwide at the finest day spas, resorts, specialty stores, affiliated Makeup Artists, and exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York.”

“Mineral pigments derived from rock, micro-pulverized and jet milled for an incredibly smooth consistency. Mineral pigments, a natural alternative to chemical makeup, do not contain any FD&C dyes, oils, talc, alcohol or fragrance.”

“Micronized titanium dioxide is the key. It is found naturally in minerals and does not clog pores or dry out the skin. It works quite remarkably. Basically, it allows light to pass through the visible ray region (light that is needed for healthy development of skin) while intercepting the ultraviolet rays. Micronized titanium dioxide guards against the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, yet gives the skin a natural looking finish. Reasearch shows micronized titanium dioxide provides a natural barrier to UVA and UVB radiation without irritation, burning or stinging.”

I am a loyal and dedicated user of La Bella Donna. The first time I tried minerals I knew I wouldn’t go back to tradtional cosmetics. The breathable feeling my skin has when applied is undeniably different from the heavy cakey feel of convential foundation. In the past I liked makeup and loved applying it but the shadows would crumble and come off and my lip colour would leave my lips feeling dry and cracked with a little bit of color shed in the creases. Now I use only minerals because the quality is evident. The color remains on the skin and my lips are soft and supple. No cracks, no crumbling and a finished look that is smooth and flawless. All of that and a natural SPF of 15 to keep your skin healthy and youthful.
