ALL EYES ON YOU

Have you thought of your face when you first read the title of this post? That's what seems to be the centre of attention usually, the skin on our faces, forgetting that we are covered with square metres of skin from top to toe. It always amazed me that skincare industry overwhelmingly supports the importance of getting the right products on what stands for just 5% of our skin. Sadly, it does have a huge and in my opinion negative impact on people, spending the dosh dreaming of that magazine cover look not realising the secret to beauty lies in a different approach to skincare routine - A VERY SIMPLE ROUTINE.

SMOOTH TRANSITION

The approach I am talking about is as follows: your face needs oil based cleanser and plant based serum only; it's the skin on your body that requires more attention and care.

I am not saying that you should ditch your face cream that has worked for you for years. I am not saying brands don't offer enough products for the body. I am saying - you will look older than you are because the skin on your body is not firm enough, dehydrated, undernourished and imperfections prone. Do you realise that those stretch marks could have easily been avoided if your skin had enough collagen and elastin in its cells which could have been delivered by regular moisturising?

Maybe, you tend to moisturise only after sun tanning or during your weekly home pamper spa routine. That's not enough. Although it may seem impossible within your daily schedule to find extra minutes for all over skin moisturising sessions but it isn't time consuming at all once you make it a habit and a clear priority. This advise applies to women of all ages, the sooner you start with your new routine the better.

What's more, no clinically developed potion for your face is going to help you feel beautiful or younger if you have the truth of your real age covered with the latest designer clothes.

WHAT PRODUCTS?

As mentioned above, even with scientific research and development of the product there is little to no chances you are going to achieve the results that you are after. That's because one miracle ingredient is usually blended with a chain of toxic chemicals sabotaging your efforts to a beautiful skin.

Therefore you should go natural and never look back. Any body oil or balm with Tamanu, Buriti, Green Coffee, Rosehip or Argan are perfect skin penetrating plant extracts that can heal damaged skin, restore its natural functions and collagen levels.

I personally like Tropic Tamanu Healing Balm (to use all over the body, regularly); Davaj Body Serum with Organic Argan Oil, Grown Alchemist Body Treatment Oil; Lyonsleaf Natural  Beauty Balm: Fushi Really Good Cellulite Oil; Pai Bioregenerate Rosehip Oil

First Impressions:

I have used this cream every morning for the last month as a part of my new natural skincare regime with oil cleansing method. I was very impressed how silky smooth the texture of this moisturiser is and how quickly my skin absorbed it. Although it has a lotion like thickness, its rich formula only allows for a pea sized amount to be used at a time. Use too much and end up with excess product sitting on the skin. That's opposite to what is advised by the brand - to use generously. I guess this is to do with the level of skin's dehydration. I personally do have the tendency to overdose on  a product but in case I do so, I usually just smudge the extra cream onto my decolette or hands.

I really liked the packaging, really handy half-cylindrical shaped tube fitted ideally into my wash bag and made it a perfect product to take on a weekend getaway.

I was also very impressed with the ingredients list at a first glance, with nothing but all natural extracts and oils. No wonder, this was supposed to be my very first time with the likes of exotic Manuka Oil, Totara Extract and Harakeke Flax Gel on my face.

We are into the second week of Wimbledon and yesterday's women's quarter finals revealed the last four players that will fight for the most desirable title - The Wimbledon Champion. Amongst them, is Maria Sharapova, who throughout her glorious career won 35 career titles, and earned way over 35 million in prize money. She is now considered to be a tennis super star, style icon and a business woman. Interestingly, with the latter one, you'd think a successful athlete like Maria would pick her investments according to what she represents - hard work ethics, sporting culture, success through discipline, healthy lifestyle etc. Instead, she decided to establish Sugarpova, a candy business to offer - as the manifesto says -  'accessible bit of luxury' reinventing good old candies.

It's a wonderful quality for the tennis star to be showing entrepreneurial spirit, versatile skill set in other areas of life. There's only one question I keep asking myself. Why on earth would you promote nothing but a plain, refined, highly processed WHITE SUGAR??? !!! With so many people around us now struggling with keeping healthy body weight, desperately seeking help in regards with nutritional eating on one side, we have glamorised,  funky shape sweets on the other side, tempting the public with funky names, catchy slogans and impeccable branding.

Let me repeat the title question here. WHY? Why do we let this happen? Sure this is a matter of an idea, market research and profitability potential for the business to be launched but, with the most famous sports woman, shouldn't this decision be censored by her own consciousness and social responsibility factor? The ingredients table lists nothing but an array of different sugars, artificial colourants and flavours. Hardly a luxury experience to the taste buds, right? She influences millions of young people out there. Surely, reaching for an unhealthy sugary treat as a reward after a hard training session is not something to be shouted about Maria? Yeah, the colourful packets of Flirty, Cheeky or Quirky can indicate just a little bit of innocent fun, discovering the Sporty sort  does really leave a SILLY SOUR after taste. I hope you understand, dear reader, why I can't help but screech at the top of my voice through this strongly opinionated post.

I haven't really answer the question as to Why Maria would want to do this to us, make more millions by wrapping up a sweet poison in a clever box of emotional marketing, calling it a splendid product and sell as affordable glamour sampling. I trust I am not the only one thinking, it's just plain WRONG .

Maria will fight to  reach her next grand slam final tomorrow. 

In the mean time, Sugarpova Luxury Candy Shops are spreading world wide...

On this occasion, Pamper Point would like to be authoritative and tell you how to cleanse your face - with an oil that it. YES. Everyone, men, women, oily complexion, acne prone, young or mature skin - oils will seriously change your complexion for better, forever. 

I have decided to put together a list of benefits that cleansing with oils can give you. The list is of a few points but it doesn't end there. Just make sure you switch to this natural and effective method today, tomorrow the latest and I can assure you will never look back.

CLEANSE BY PROTECTION

Sebum, an oily substance produced by your skin to protect itself and regulate its biological cycle is usually totally removed when washing with soap or sulphates based cleansers. What at first glance looks like a squeaky clean skin, is actually a dried out and irritated surface ready to produce double as much sebum to compensate for the barbaric process. Although you need your sebum to keep your skin healthy, overproduction of sebum only causes problems like blemishes, spots, white heads and so on.

To keep your sebum levels in control, you need to start using pure oil cleansers which simply melt away any dirt collected throughout the day without interfering with your skin's protective layers. The skin won't switch to panic mode and will stay balanced, even toned and spots free.

MULTI-TASKING BEAUTY PRODUCT

Oil cleansers are so versatile they can replace many others lotions and potions you'd normally use in your beauty regime. They provide basic cleansing service, they act as an easy to use and very effective make up remover, they can also be used on a dry skin anywhere on your body for a quick moisturising or softening in case of emergency. If this wasn't enough, cleansing oils can assist with close to skin leg shaving too.

Moreover, as many cleansing oils contain essential oils, they can be utilised as an aromatherapeutic treatment to your senses.

ALL NATURAL AFFAIR

If we haven't convinced you enough just yet, maybe the fact that your skin will be efficiently cleansed in the most natural way possible can make you a convert. Yes, the beauty industry is stuffing all those attractively packaged lotions with toxic synthetics, dosing to our skin and, eventually, our inner organs a  and more serious health issues.

Cleansing oils are usually offered by brands that care about the customers and their wellbeing. The ingredients are carefully selected plant oils. Our ultimate favourites are Watermelon Seed Oil, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Thistle Seed Oil, Camellia and Buriti Oils plus the mighty Lycopene - anti-oxidant derived from tomatoes.

IT CAN BE USED WITH WATER, NO CLOTH REQUIRED

The one thing that prevents many people from trying oil cleansers is that they dread the thought of not using any water never again. Well, fear not. The best method is to actually apply the oil on the face, massage it in with circular motion and rinse off with water. 

To simplify things even more, and save time there's no need to use damp cloth to remove oil based cleansers either. Yes, they are very helpful when you want to enjoy a spa like facial but during an 

everyday routine, washing the oil off directly with hands and water does the job perfectly.

SUPER FAST RESULTS

This benefit should actually be mentioned at the top of my list as it SERIOUSLY is an important one. Whatever your skin concern, oil based cleansing is going to deal with it. Unlike many other sources indicating that you may have to wait until your skin adjusts to a new routine, Pamper Point says NOT TRUE. Oil cleansers bring a quick relief from mechanical irritations, they soothe any inflammation, deeply nourish skin immediately on your first application and yes, begin the process of clearing your complexion from unsightly break outs.
