ReFresh Facial Scrub does Double Duty
I got my first professional spray tan the other day. Those who know me know I love all the fake tanning creams and gels I can get my hands on, because it's way safer than the harmful rays of the sun. But having someone spray me down was really the royal treatment.
It went as I thought it should have until she was cleaning me up. She squirted what looked just like ReFresh Facial Scrub onto the palm of my hand and asked me to rub them together to remove the tanner from staining my hands.
She then took a Q-tip and scrubbed my nails and nail beds with the same product.
It worked like a charm and I had no orange hands or discolored nail polish!
So I gave Face It the test. I used my at home spray tanning set and ReFreshed my hands, feet, fingers and toes just like they had done in the salon. I had the lovely scrub and fresh minty scent along with superficial and penetrating exfoliation to remove traces of the self tanner.
It worked amazingly well and I had the bonus of softer hands and feet! Give it a try and let me know how it goes!!

Applying Products Properly
In trying to educate others about healthy skin, I've come across many different skincare applying techniques. I won't go through them all but after reading this, you should know who you are.
A skincare routine takes time.
Please, don't rush washing, drying or applying products. You will only shave mere seconds off your time and it's way more important to rejuvenate your skin. I've seen rough towel drying, one finger facial application, and vigorous washing. Not ideal.
Face first.
In the morning, it's ideal to give your skin a light washing with warm water. I don't even use soap at all. Especially in the winter months where skin tends to try out it's important to start the mornings hydrated.
After patting your skin dry, apply Daily Defender with a couple of fingers on each hand and rub it into your skin in an upward motion, massaging it into winkles or laugh lines until it is absorbed. Let it sit for at least two minutes before applying makeup or sunblock.
Try to avoid touching your face throughout the day, the germs and bacteria from your hands lead to break outs.
In the evening, use ReFresh facial scrub with warm water and with small round circular movements make your way around your face, removing dirt oil and makeup from the day. Splash with warm water and pat dry.
I really like using masks, but since this line doesn't have one YET, I use other brands, but now is the time to apply it if you choose to do so.
If not, start with Smooth Eyeperator and dab it around the eye area in a circular motion until it is abosrbed. Massage any extra into your crows feet and temple area.
Then apply Dream Beautifully all over your face and neck, rubbing it in with slight pressue on your fingertips until your skin's thirst is quenched.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,
Allison

The Pump
I just wanted to post a note to those who have experienced some issues with the pumps. I apologize for this and I wanted to give you some tips as to how to "fix" this problem.
If you've received a bottle that doesn't start pumping cream after numerous tries:
- DO NOT OPEN IT
sometimes when airless pumps get filled it can take a little more enthusiasm to get them started but please don't expose the products to air unnecessarily, I would rather send you a new one than have you ruin the product
- GIVE THE BOTTLE FOUR CEILING TO FLOOR HARD SHAKES
you may look a little silly doing this, but believe me it works! consider it a workout :)
- TRY PUMPING THE BOTTLE AGAIN
If shaking and pumping attempts fail, just send me an email to let me know. And possibly a hilarious video of you trying to shake the product silly.
Thanks,
Allison

What Sun Care Products are you using?
We all know it's important to use SPF daily and protect our skin from the damaging rays of the sun. So tell me, what is your favorite sunblock?
I love Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Spray SPF 70 for my body and you can't beat the pricetag. The first bottle that I bought of this product swam away in a lagoon in the Bahamas never to be seen again. That's the life. At least it's got protection!
For my face, I like La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Shaka Ultra Fluid Sunscreen but that's just for daily use. If I'm going to be in the sun all day, I use a broad spectrum SPF 100 like Neutrogena's Ultimate Sport Sunblock Spray.
Here are some examples to help you out!
