Jojoba oil has a smilar molecualr structure as our skin’s natural oils. This is by far the most important reason why jojoba oul is great for skin! This make3s it a perfect moisturizer for our skin!

Is Your Face Oil Too Thick and Greasy?

f you’re new to face oils, you might envision a thick or greasy texture, but the best ones like Dr. Lucy's Rouge Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil isn't that.

The main topic of conversation that I would like to talk about today is the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil that has lovingly been named, "natural retinol alternative" because of it's high Vitamin A, C and Beta-carotene content.

Wait a minute!!

So what is the difference between Retinol and Retinoid? Here is a simple explanation. A Retinol is not as strong or chemical based like a Retinoid. A Retinol can be in a natural form such as the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil I am talking about and the one I will always recommend. A Retinoid is a chemical, much more powerful and you would need a prescription to get it. Like I have said many times, applying products like Retinoids to your skin will thin the skin, make you look older in the long run, plus can wreak havoc on your hormonal system. You can look at this natural Retinol explanation this way. Think of a bicycle wheel that has ten spokes, that is your Retinol with all the parts working together so that the wheel functions properly. Now think of that wheel with only one spoke, that is like Retinoids, the wheel will not function properly, in fact it will fall apart and breakdown. Whether it is the food we eat or the products we put on our skin, the whole, natural form will always benefit the body and help to turn over youthful, strong cells.

I'm thrilled to say some of the Dr. Lucy products are on that new wave of natural Retinols!

I know, you are probably wondering what I am talking about, well let me explain. As you can see below a photo of the Dr. Lucy "Rouge" Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil. This magic wand is loaded with light weight, Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Frankincense, Rose Otto (Rose Damascena) plus Rose and Clear Quartz to nourish, revitalize and boost collagen formation just to name a few.

Just a quick note about heavier oils...

"It is a myth that people with oily skin can't use face oils," says dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD. But, that doesn't mean you can use just any oil. For example, he says that those with oily skin will want to avoid heavier oils like olive or avocado, because they're rich in oleic acid which can lead to breakouts. He recommends rosehip oil because it's a lot more lightweight.

8 Rose Hip Seed Oil BENEFITS!...

Benefits of not only the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, but the amazing Rouge Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil and all her very potent, synergistic and special other ingredients.

1. Helps boost collagen formation and cell regeneration which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness.

2. The essential fatty acids help keep cell walls strong so that they don't lose water.

3. Specific for anti-aging.

4. Helps reduce inflammation and calm irritation resulting from rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis.

5. Brightens skin.

6. Promotes healing.

7. Help reduce dullness and leaving you with glowing, vibrant skin.

8. Helps reduce hyperpigmentation which can result from a number of factors, including:
Sun exposure, Hormonal changes and certain medications.

Fun Fact: The Rosehip Seed Oil that is in Rouge Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil is dark orange/red in color, meaning the darker the color (top shelf so to speak) the less processed and the more powerful it is! What does that mean for you? Bright, firm, soft, even skin tone, boosted collagen formation and healthier skin cell turnover!

P.S. I highly recommend splurging a little on Rouge, she is a gem! It will last you forever because you just need a little bit. Plus the steel roller ball feels so good on your skin and helps Rouge glide on effortlessly!

Help! Winter Is Drying Out My Skin!!

Winter is here (maybe not officially, but it is here) and we are all in need of skin care tips!

You know I have said a million and one times, and even posted on the Dr. Lucy website under "My Story" how my skin is so sensitive. If I don't stay on top of it during these Winter months my skin will become tight and dry very quickly from the dry air, cold climate and heaters that are blasting away. Here are some helpful tips for the love of your skin on keeping it nourished, calm, hydrated and glowing all Winter using the Dr. Lucy products.

Crème Cleanser: A kinder, gentler crème cleanser that hydrates, rather than intensely exfoliates, since skin irritation can increase along with dryness in colder weather. Dr. Lucy's Gentle Crème Cleanser with Atlantic Sea Kelp is the perfect choice for hydrating and balancing the skin, plus it deeply cleanses the pores.

Toner: An absolute must anytime of year for balancing, hydrating and allowing all your other products to work so much more effectively!

Serum: Start off any cold weather skincare routine with a natural serum that has a hydrating base. Serums containing botanical hyaluronic acid like Dr. Lucy's 2-in-1 Hydrating Serum work well in the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

Moisturizer: Thicker doesn’t mean better! We can assure you that heavier creams don't necessarily work better, and they may even clog your pores. When it comes to soothing dry flaky skin, it's actually the ingredients of a moisturizer that matters, and not how thick it is. Dr. Lucy's Ultra Moisturizer has the perfect combinations of natural ingredients to nourish, protect and hydrate all day in every kind of weather. One of our secrets in the Ultra Moisturizer is botanical hyaluronic acid. 33,000 feet up in the air or at sea level, you are always hydrated and dewy fresh!

Face Oil: Nourish, calm, protect with the Dr. Lucy original proprietary blend face oil. An exceptional ace oil like Dr. Lucy's can protect the skin's acid mantle. Face oil can also speed up the skin’s own healing process and help repair damage from external influences, like extreme temperatures, over-cleansing, low humidity, sickness and travel.

Hydrating Masque: A hydrating face masque, like the Dr. Lucy's Luscious Rose Equalizer Hydrating Masque with Atlantic Sea Kelp, is perfect for wintertime dryness because it helps to heal redness and inflammation while tightening pores, plumping skin and stimulating collagen for a more supple look and feel.

Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season.

To you and your beautiful skin,
Rebecca

Why Your Skin Care Routine Should Include a Face Oil!

Face oils are an elixir of different essential and plant-based oils specifically chosen to not clog pores. Your face produces a natural oil called sebum, and you may see it come out of your pores if you gently squeeze. That oil typically builds up on the nose, chin, and forehead. While some people may feel that they have an excess of oil, typically, oily skin is a sign that your skin is trying to overcompensate for a lack of hydration. That is where facial oil comes in.

If you’re uncertain as to whether or not you really need this product, this article will explain why your skincare routine should include face oil to help you decide if this method of moisturizing is right for you.

Face Oil Works With Any Skin Type!

Adding nourishing oil like jojoba and rosehip is great for all skin types. Whether your skin is mature, dry, oily, or blemish-prone, all skin needs oil to be healthy. Many people shy away from adding oil because they fear it will only cause more problems or will enhance their already oily skin. Nothing is further from the truth. Providing your skin with these oils will lessen overall oil production.

Face Oil Locks in Hydration...

Ideally, face oil is the very last step in your skincare routine. Oil should go on after you’ve cleansed, toned, applied any serums, and moisturized your face. This is because face oil is thick and can penetrate through moisturizers and serums. However, if you’re doing this step during the day, always apply your SPF after your face oil, as it should always be your very last step. You can also apply face oil one to two times a day, depending on your skin care needs.

Face Oil Can Help Distressed Skin

Face oil contains essential fats that are good for the epidermis. Your skin needs these fats to help fill in the gaps between cells. Think of it as filling in cracks between concrete to make the surface smoother overall. Face oil will help you build a healthy skin barrier to give you healthier skin and a natural glow.

Everyone should include face oil in their skincare routine, especially if their overall skincare goal is to have healthy glowing skin.
