Question

 

 

Great idea, Odeliza! I have a question about hyperpigmentation: how do I get rid of it or tone it down when I have sensitive/rosacea skin I am currently using Finacea (a prescription strength cream for rosacea given to me by my dermatologist) and mild cleanser. Thanks so much! ~ Toni

  • @beachgirl7611 HI Toni, hyperpigmentation, over production of pigment, which can vary in color, from brown to red, is something that I have to deal with as well. I am not familiar with Finacea, but I will research it and get back to you as soon as possible.

  • @beachgirl7611 HI Tony! I am sorry my response took so long. I wanted to make certain that what I am about to say really worked. So, I have normal skin but am prone to contact dermatitis which is a form of ‘sensitive skin’. I am also prone to hyper pigmentation. To help minimize and eventually remove the marks caused by this, I do the following steps:

  • @beachgirl7611 Step one would be to lightly steam the face with a clean warm towel for 1-2 min. Step 2, cleanse your face with a mild creme cleanser. S.3, apply 100% Organic Aloe Vera gel, from an organic skin care line or an organic aloe plant. Cover the entire face with a thin film of this gel. Allow to sit in your skin for 5-10 minutes. For you, I would suggest 2-5 minutes for the first few applications.

  • @beachgirl7611 S4, once you’ve allowed the mask to seep into your skin, it will begin to tighten and create a sorta of, shiny mask texture and look. That is perfect. S5, remove the mask by using tepid water. S6 if using as part of your am routine, apply a tinted moisturizer and your regular makeup routine. If using at night, do not apply a night creme. If you use any medication for your skin type, you must try a patch test with these steps along with your medication to see if

  • @beachgirl7611 if there are any contraindications. There should not be, but if so, please let me know! Try this routine once a week for 4 weeks. This is what I have done, and it worked for me. Granted, our skin type and life style are different, but I am confident this is something that may really work for you as well. Boa sorte! Beso Amiga ;)

How to Combat Oily Skin in Tropical Climates

October 26, 2011 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Makeup Tutorials

This is a great segment! I have noticed that as I age, my skin has undergone changes. I have become more oily than usual and I have been investing in skin products that are supposed to minimize this. However, when I wear make-up, I still need a primer.

I would like to ask what make-up primer you can suggest for me. Aside from being oily, I also live in a tropical country so I constantly have to battle with the heat and humidity.

  • @maricarljanah Part 2, have you tried a toner that has witch hazel as its main component? Wictchazel, in my opinion helps minimize the oil production in people with oily/combo skin. It balances your PH levels and helps set up a surface for your primer or moisturizer. If you use a day serum that is a gel substance instead of your moisturizer that may help as well. A gel or silicone primer works best, I think on oily/combo skin. What primers have you tried? I hope that helps a bit.

  • @maricarljanah Hi! I am sorry I am just getting back to you. I have been so busy with my work as pro mua and lic. aesthetician that I have travelled so much from warm climates to cold climates that I kinda have any idea of what you are inquiring about. Okay…. So you starting off with a well cleanse face. You’ve mentioned that you have invested in skin care products to help minimize the oil secreting from your face.

My skin has a very bad texture. It’s dry, sensitive and looks like the? surface of an orange. Primers don’t seem to make any difference, all my foundation still ends up in my pores. Do you have any advice?

Great video. Thanks. My skin has very bad texture. It’s dry, sensitive and looks like the? surface of an orange. Primers don’t seem to make any difference, all my foundation still ends up in my pores. Do you have any advice?

  • @Sheenablackcat Thanks for watching ;) The surface of an orange, so? you have enlarge pores and possible large acne scars where you may have indentation all through out your skin? If so, a gradual exfoliant would work for you. Its something that worked for one of my clients. Same situation, dry, sensitive, large pores, indentation marks, and uneven facial tone. No primer in the world can hide the surface and texture of your skin. But you can begin by cleaning the face well with products Part !

  • @Sheenablackcat Part 2, by cleaning your face with products made? for your skin situation. What are you using now? How is your facial regime looking like? Since, I do not know these questions yet, and would really love to give you an educated and honest answer, I recommend to use products for sensitive skin such as Aveeno, Clarins, Shieshedo, Cetaphil, and Acure. These are all companies that are tried and true with me and my clients. For an exfoliation, believe it or not, but

  • @Sheenablackcat Part 3 100% Organic Aloe Vera is the best ever!!!! I use it and recommend it to clients, models, actresses, singers, that have sensitive and often times? dry skin. Please let me know how this works for you and I am happy to answer any more questions you have. Beso and boa sorte!

How to Prep & Prime the Face

In my 30′s and Loving It!

October 25, 2011 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Health & Fitness

Oi Gentes!

 

First off, I’m 32 years old, I feel energetic, confident, and fabulous; mind, body, and soul. I wanted to introduce a new section of my website called ‘Love & Life Style‘. This idea was something my husband brought up in one of our conversations about my website (Odeliza) and beauty channel on YouTube.

I really want to share and inspire others, especially women in my age group, that life does not stop and end at 30. For me, it has only just begun. My husband tells me that I am such a great person and partner in his life, that maybe I could share my experiences with others.

I had to put a lot of thought into this idea, 2 years, because I wanted to make sure I had something that I thought was helpful and inspiration worthy. So here is the Love & Life Style No.1.

Love & Life Style No. 1

The saying ‘Love yourself first before you love others’, I truly believe this hits home for me. If you do not think of yourself worthy of love, then how do you suppose someone else does? I asked myself that question and my answer, I am worthy of love, for I love myself. I am thankful that I am me. I am not perfect, but imperfectly perfect in my own way.

You have to look within yourself and know that even though you may think that you are not worthy of love, truly I believe you are.

You go about your day and make the most of what you have and be grateful for where you are in life and the things you could do in the future.

If you compare yourself to others and question why this person has this and you don’t you will set your self up for failure in loving yourself. No one person is identical, maybe there are similarities in age, life style, profession, etc. but you and the other person you compare yourself to are not the same. You are you. They are them.

For instance, I happened to read another blog post about age and goals. More power to that person for making a list of goals. But one thing that caught my attention most was this person wanted to have all these goals accomplished before they reach the age of 30 for they believed that life for them will ‘settle down’ at 30. I read that and for a brief second I thought, I’m 32, does that mean my life should be settled? Then I snapped myself out of it. I don’t really believe in the phrase ‘settling down’. For me, I work towards new goals, continue to travel around the world, learn new skills, and change my mind. I believe in myself.

This belief transfers to my husband, friends, and colleagues.

This love and respect for myself transfers to anyone that I come across. So, look within your self, see all the good things about you and then see all the flaws that you have and learn to love your self.

I hope my first Love & Lifestyle post was helpful to you, please show your support by sharing my website (Odeliza) with your friends and family. And if you haven’t already, subscribe to my Beauty Channel on YouTube and Follow Me on Twitter.

Beso,

Odeliza
