bookmark_borderDetox Your Skin with Shinso

Posted on by admin

Around the holidays, it’s easy for our skin to change. Between the cold wind and weather and indulging in not-so-healthy foods and alcohol, all these factors can affect the quality and appearance of your skin. After the holidays, you’ll most likely want to detox your skin, so here are some tips and tricks.

Use products with good-for-you ingredients. Shinso skincare products are a great option for detoxing your skin from chemicals, bacteria and oils and replenishing them with ingredients that are good for you. These ingredients include various minerals, deep sea water and more.

Drink plenty of water. You’ll want to stay hydrated to maintain the balance in your skin, so make sure to drink 8 glasses or more of water per day. Water will also flush the toxins out of your skin, which is key when detoxing. Also look for fruits and veggies, which are full of water, and add those into your diet.

Use clean makeup & brushes. Did you know that expired makeup or dirty, not-cleaned brushes can cause skin problems? To combat this, bi-annually go through your makeup collection and throw away anything that’s expired or has changed texture, color or scent. Then wash your makeup brushes in makeup brush cleaner, or a gentle soap and water mixture.

Give yourself a facial. Full facials include exfoliation of dead skin, a deep cleansing to remove dirt, debris and blackheads and then extremely precise moisturizer. Indulge in quality products and pamper yourself during this time- you deserve it!

Posted on by admin

We are approaching the harsh winter months, which means you need to make sure you are properly preparing and taking care of your skin. By using gentle cleansers, exfoliators and protectants, you will be on your way to great skin.

Shinso Essence is the perfect gentle serum that works to heal chapped areas, such as your face, hands and lips. It rejuvenates and tightens your skin, while it goes to work on the deepest layers to boost collagen production. Shinso Essence is oil, chemical, fragrance free, and paraben free, so there’s no need to worry about irritation.

When using an exfoliator, you’ll want to chose a gentle one. A harsh exfoliant can physically hurt your skin and give a ruddy, red appearance. Try to exfoliate less than usual in winter as well to reduce the irritation.

Replace your daily moisturizer with something that works harder, something more intense. Products such as ointments and creams have a thicker texture that works to deeply moisturize the skin. Look for ingredients such as petroleum and ceramides, which work to prevent the loss of moisture already in the skin. Ingredients such as glycerin and sorbitol work to attract moisture from the environment to restore the skin’s balance and reduce dryness.

Posted on by admin

With the holidays right around the corner, you’ll want to look your best! From work parties to family events, chances are you’ll be attending a variety of holiday get-togethers where all eyes will be on you. In addition to wearing your best little black dress and getting that perfect blowout, you’ll want your skin to be in top shape. Here are a few tips to get a holiday glow.

Exfoliate. Exfoliating works wonders on your skin by eliminating the dead, old damaged layers of skin and revealing new, smooth layers underneath. Use a gentle, yet effective exfoliating product like Shinso Glow to renew your skin. Shinso Glow includes fullerene, which penetrates the skin cells to detoxify and regenerate healthy skin cells and restore the skin’s natural functions, leaving skin plumper and more youthful. Shinso Glow also contains natural fruit and SOD, superoxide dismutase. SOD is a naturally occurring enzyme with important antioxidant and healing properties – a crucial defense for skin cells.

Fake a tan. The lack of sunlight and cold temperatures of winter leave most women with pale, naturally whiter skin. Don’t be tempted to hit the tanning bed, and instead fake a glow with the latest beauty products. Whether it’s a sunless tanner or just a few swipes of a golden-hued bronzer, it only takes a little makeup to give your skin a natural glow. And don’t forget your sunscreen on days spent outdoors!

Moisturize. With harsh winds, skin can get chapped and flaky, so moisturizing daily is key to supple skin. Foundation and concealers do not go on well when skin is dry, so proper moisturizing ensures a smooth application. The same goes for your lips- that holiday red shade of lipstick won’t work on chapped or flaky lips, so be sure to keep them extra-moisturized as well.

Posted on by admin

For most skin issues, time is of the essence. Many treatments and ingredients take weeks to months to really start to work or show improvements. Fortunately there are a few things you can do or use that can help change your skin in a week or less. These simple changes, routines and products will help improve your skin with a fast turnaround time.

  • Remove your makeup every night- no excuses. Let’s be honest- do you always remember to take off your makeup from the day before you head to bed? Chances are there is a night or two when you slack off due to laziness, and those one or two missed nights of cleansing can really take a toll on your skin. To prevent breakouts and keep your pillow clean, use a makeup removing wipe and gentle cleanser before bed. If you can, remove your makeup right after work/any night events, so your skin will have even more time to recover.
  • Eat properly and drink enough water. A few days of eating greasy foods and skimping on water will take a toll on your skin and everyone will know what you’ve been up to. So do a mini detox by eating plenty of health foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts and make sure you are properly hydrated.
  • Use spot treatments for problem areas. By following the steps above, your overall skin will start to look and feel better. But for problem areas, you’ll need to use a strong spot treatment for them. If you have acne or occasional pimples, look for an acne spot treatment that says it will deliver results within a week. For redness or sensitive skin, find a calming moisturizer and avoid and foundation or concealer with harsh ingredients.

Posted on by admin

Enzymes are described as a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are chemicals that work to speed up the rate of chemical reactions in biological processes.

Enzymes are chemicals that speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the reaction themselves. They’re incredibly useful in biological processes because they can make a reaction that normally requires that dangerously-high temperatures occur at normal body temperatures. In the food industry, enzymes are used to help ripen fruits, tenderize meats and produce things like wine and cheese.

How Are Enzymes Used in Skincare?

Enzymes are used mainly in two processes: anti-inflammation and exfoliation. In exfoliation, enzymes are generally gentler than other scrubs or microdermabrasion procedures. The layers of skin you want to exfoliate (the upper layers) are made of dean skin cells, and the enzymes work to break down that skin protien, which results in smoother and younger-looking skin. Enzymes exfoliate and replenish without feeling like you’re exfoliating- a win-win. Since enzymes are gentle, they work well for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Enzymes also work to protect skin against oxidative damage (sun, pollution, etc.) You’ll find them in sunscreens, moisturizers, peels and various treatments. Enzymes are said to work to brighten skin as well.
