LipSense by Joyce

Wanted to share an article I read this week because It Makesense! Because our economy stinks at the moment, we are all needing to cut corners when it comes to our spending habits. The good news: Those corners are easy to trim off your beauty routine without having to skimp on style or pampering. Watch out for these common money traps - steering clear of all of them will let you look like a million bucks without going broke.

All or most women are excessive when it comes to make-up. We are always trying to find products that will make us look better. Most women spend $500 - $1500 a year on beauty/cosmetic products. We also tend to think that if we apply more of a product, it will do more. This could end up causing skin irritations. The mose commonly overused items are cleansers, moisturizers, and eye creams and serums (though men tend to underuse). Read below to check out the right amounts to use in your routine for most products purchased at retail stores vs. SeneGence© products:

Foaming Cleansers - most people should use a pea size amount and most people fill the whole palm of their hand - with our Fooops® SenseCosmetics®Make-up Remover, it only takes 1 pump. Let it set for 20 seconds before removing with a warm, wet washcloth. Your skin is now ready for deep cleaning with our 3-in 1 Cleanser. This is $18 for 1.7 oz Bottle. It will last you up to 6 months.

Cream Cleansers - according to the survey it states “to use a quarter-size amount”. SeneGence© 3-in-1 Cleanser only requires a pea-size amount. People tend to use cleansers without wetting their face first. With SeneGence 3-in-1 Cleanser®, wet your face and hands first, squeeze a pea-size amount and lather in your hands, then apply to your wet face. The finest ingredients in this SeneGence 3-in-1 Cleanser® will lather yourself with hydration as you deeply, but gently and effectively remove oil where needed without drying the skin. Detergent-free cleansers help to maintain moisture content, restore pH to the skin and exfoliate dead cells while prepping the skin for the next step. Only $20 and will last up to 8 months - 1 year!!!

Face Moisturizers - survey states to use a dime size amount. SeneGence© Daytime Moisturizers come in Normal to Dry and Normal to Oily. You only need a half of a dime size amount with our products. The benefits are bountiful. SeneDerm® with SenePlex® Moisturizers deliver to the skin moisture, hydration and anti-aging advantages. Vitamin E protects cells from oxidation while botanicals containing natural filtering ingredients make your skin healthy and radiant throughout your busy day. This Daytime moisturizer also provides a mechanical shield of protection from the sun equivalent to a SPF 15 and acts as the base upon which to apply MakeSense™ Foundation. The Evening Moisturizers have the same effect. These products cost $35 for Daytime and $45 for Evening and can last up to 6 months are longer. Most people tend to just squeeze a lot in their hand and start spreading. Dab a small amount and then spread upward on each side of face and don’t forget your neck and chest. Don’t wash your hands afterwards, rub and leave on your hands. They need moisturizing also. Another point, most protects add a price when it states “Sunscreen”.

Eye Creams - survey states to use a half-size pea amount. Our eyecream only needs a dot size amount because this rich formula melts and emulsifies at skin temperature, creating a silk-like coating that reduces drag while applying cosmetics. The area around your eyes is a very soft tissue and does not need hard rubbing. This will damage your tissue/muscles. With SeneGence® Eye-Cream, which we have 2 now, represents the most advanced skincare technology known today. The anti-aging creme is a rich blend of SenePlex®. This is a natural oils and vitamins, including Vit. E for protection, Vit. A for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, plus Jojoba oil, sweet almond and avacado oil to nourish the sensitive moisture-depleted area around the eyes. It has removed all my crows feet. SeneGence EyeCreme is only $35 and can last up to 6-12 months. Can be used as often as you like. This can also be used with our new Vitamin C SeneSerum for a faster effect.

As you see from these comparisons, you can cut back on your impulse buying of products that end up in the trash or a drawer because of not using or not liking the product. For more reading, See my Post on Overlooking those “innocent” splurges!
