Check your bottles day 2
What to aviod Day 2
ALL WAXES SUCH AS PARAFFIN, BEESWAX, CANDELILLA WAX, CARNAUBA WAX Waxes are widely used in cleansing creams, eye creams, and moisturizers. Waxes clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. They also smother the skin, which over time creates an enlarged pore problem.

Check your bottles
I am going to post some information for the next few days about commonly used skincare ingredients and why you should NOT use them. I'll do one a day so that it isn't a long read so get your bottles and check back often!
What to avoid Day 1
MINERAL OIL A liquid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum, mineral oil can attract dirt and causes blackheads and eruptions. It can accelerate free radical damage, thus speeding up the aging process, because it causes toxins that build up in the skin.

Here they are!
Finally, here are some pics from the weekend bead-a -thon. In total, 7 long chain necklaces, 8 sets (bracelet, necklace, earrings), 17 golf score counters, 10 cell phone bling, 5 key chains and 4 bracelets. Things just got to be on a roll after awhile. I was even able to get some organizing and labeling done so next time I'll spend more time creating and less time looking for things. I was sad to come back to reality!
I have to say that Monday was not pretty. I was too tired to shower so the hair was just not cooperating. My neck was so sore from sitting in beading mode for so long and my fingers were swollen and a bit numb! Was it worth it? You bet! Still waiting for the intervention, I can make some snacks and we can bead!

WHOA! It's time to stop!
I've been beading all weekend. It was great! The older 4 kids were gone with Dad and the baby naps a lot! I have tons of new bling-well see how much I am willing to part with! I'll post some pictures once the camera returns with my family. A few friends came over as well so I got adult time in on top of it all. Oh yes, and no real meals, just good snacks! I just don't want to stop now that I am on a roll. My newest bead addict friends and I have even picked out our next project that I will teach them. But, back to reality! I have to find something to make for supper and quick!
Maybe just one more pair of earrings...

What is your skin type?
I have had quite a few questions about this when people are trying to pick which sample pack to try, so here is a handy tool. You can also go to http://www.jennofer.lbri.com/ for more information. Click on products.
Here’s How to Determine Your Skin Type
Each of us has a particular skin type. Maybe your skin is dry. Perhaps it is oily, or a combination of the two. There are five basic skin types, each determined by heredity and your environment. Factors such as sunlight, wind, air pollution, diet, and stress make a huge impact on the look and feel of your skin. Before selecting the L’Bri Pure n’ Natural products that are best for you, determine your skin type. Which of the following best describe your skin:
Normal Skin Normal Skin is the goal of every skin care program. Normal Skin is like that of a child, not too oily or dry with few, if any, blemishes. Normal Skin appears moist, plump, and dewy. The pores are small to medium in size. The skin is of medium thickness and even in tone. Normal Skin is soft, smooth, and firm with good elasticity. Key Description: Balanced.
For Normal Skin, order the L’Bri Gentle Skin Care Trio.
Oily Skin Oily Skin exhibits a shiny appearance and is usually thicker, firmer, and less sensitive to the touch than the other types. The pores, visibly more noticeable, are medium to large in size. Individuals with Oily Skin tend to experience recurring clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and blemishes. Key Description: Overactive.
For Oily Skin with no break-outs, order the L’Bri Deep Pore Skin Care Trio.
For Oily Skin with break-outs, order the L’Bri Deep Pore Cleanser, Deep Pore Freshener, and use L’Bri Aloe Jelly as your moisturizer.
For Oily Skin that is excessively oily with blemishes or acne, order the L’Bri Deep Pore Cleanser, Deep Pore Freshener, and use L’Bri Aloe Jelly as your moisturizer. We also suggest using L’Bri’s KlearAway lotion, which is specially formulated with blemish fighting ingredients to prevent new blemishes from occurring while speeding the healing of existing blemishes.
Dry Skin Dry Skin feels tight and may exhibit visible flaking. Often delicate and easily irritated, Dry Skin may be sensitive to cold weather. Dry Skin has the appearance of a matte finish, lacking sheen. It may be rough to the touch. The appearance of Dry Skin may be due to a superficial dry condition caused by exposure to sun, sea, air, wind, or pollutants. A superficial dry condition can be aggravated by using soap as a cleanser or by failing to apply a protective moisturizer. Certain skin diseases such as eczema, mild psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis can be mistaken for Dry Skin. Key Description: Underactive.
For Dry Skin, order the L’Bri Gentle Skin Care Trio.
For extremely Dry Skin, order the L’Bri Gentle Cleanser, Gentle Freshener, and Intense Moisture Cream.
Combination Skin Those with Combination Skin exhibit two or more skin type characteristics on various parts of the face. For example, the forehead, nose, and chin (known as the T-Zone) may be oily while the cheeks and around the eyes are Normal to Dry. Approximately 95 percent of individuals with Combination Skin fit this description. Combination Skin may involve an oily forehead, dry cheeks, but normal everywhere else, or skin that is normal in the T-Zone and dry everywhere else. Key Description: Asymmetric.
For Combination Skin, order the L’Bri Combination Skin Trio, which consists of the Deep Pore Cleanser, Gentle Freshener, and Gentle Moisturizer.
Sensitive Skin Sensitive Skin tends to overreact to environmental influences such as sun, wind, temperature extremes, and some cosmetics. Easily irritated, this skin type exhibits redness or a rash, itching, stinging, or a burning sensation. Sensitive Skin may develop distended or broken capillaries and allergic reactions. Usually sunburns easily.
Key Description: Delicate.
For Sensitive Skin, order the L’Bri Gentle Skin Trio.

Should it stay or should it go?
I am having a hard time letting go of some of my latest creations... I love blues so it is obvious why I don't want to find that one a new home. It has lip shell, bone bead and Lapiz. Lately I have also had an affection for stone as well. That one has mixed stones and Czech glass. Used to be Swarovski crystal didn't make it to the Art and Craft shows. I guess my horizon is expanding... better get a bigger jewelry case.

Moisturizer tip
We ALL need to use moisturizer... even you girls with oily skin. Why? Because our skin is assaulted every day by wind, dirt, pollution and things we don't even know about! Replenishing what life takes out of our skin is important. Not to mention, if you have oily skin and clean it without moisturizing, you will produce MORE oil. Your skin wants to be hydrated so when you take that layer away with out replenishing it, your body gets the message that it needs to produce more oil. So, get the right moisturizer for your skin type and watch the changes! Twice a day keeps the wrinkles away.
