Hottest Beauty Products for Spring
SKINCARE
I can’t live without the Simple Skincare wipes. The NEW Simple Radiance Cleansing Wipes are perfume-free and so good at removing my makeup without irritating my skin! There’s nothing worse than heavily-perfumed facial wipes that compete with my perfume… it almost doesn’t make sense. These wipes from Simple are a must-have! They are great for travel, work and anytime you want to refresh.
I also love the NEW Eye Makeup Remover Pads for removing my eye makeup, which I’m addicted to. They are also good to correct makeup mistakes in the morning when I’m lining my eyes with a black liquid eye liner. It’s Simple: wipe, correct, and start over. And lastly from Simple is the NEW Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15… did I mention it’s oil free? I need this moisturizer every day to help protect my skin from the sun. It’s light, fragrance free and it does the job: it hydrates perfectly. It helps to my powder foundation set nicely by making my skin dewy and moist.
Simple Skincare Advisory Board
Simple has a brand new panel of experts for 2013 called the “Skincare Advisory Board,” which includes a psychiatrist, fitness expert, makeup expert, dermatologist and nutritionist. All of these elements of our lifestyle are important in maintaining optimum skin health and a happy life: good diet, exercising, healthy mind, good skin and great makeup. Simple believes there is more to great skincare than just products, a philosophy with which I totally agree. Your skin is also impacted by your lifestyle, diet, fitness, health and well-being. This is why I would like to introduce to you the women behind Simple’s Skincare Advisory Board-a panel of leading industry experts who together offer you a complete approach to your skin, inside and out… or what I like to refer to as the total package.

Beauty Essentials For The Gym
Beauty essentials for the gym begin before you even set foot out the door. I like to be a full-fledged skin and makeup routing prepared and ready – yes, even to go to the gym. I’m talking about wearing a deodorant and shaving your legs and private parts because you don’t want to be mistaken for a wild animal in the sauna or steam room. You want to smell good; have smooth, flawless and clean skin; and have fresh breath as you come in the gym. Because going to the gym is a social thing, you never know whom you might bump into. Here’s my list of beauty essentials for the gym. These products might help you feel confident and ready to conquer any workout routine.

My Winter Skincare With Simple Skincare
I don’t mean to depress anyone, but fall and winter are coming up pretty fast… especially if you live in the East Coast. Believe it or not, where I live (Scottsdale, Arizona) also gets cold. We may not get snow, but we definitely get cold weather. That also means…
My Winter Skincare With Simple
…in these very cold months my best word is: HYDRATION. My skin tends to get super dry and even kind of flaky when it’s cold. I like to keep my skin moisturized, and really that’s my biggest beauty secret. I basically switch to all the Simple Skincare products that read: ‘moisturizing,’ ‘rich moisture’, ‘soothing,’ and ‘replenishing’. All these words sound so appropriate to what my skin needs in the cold winter months.
Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub My Ultimate Favorite
The Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub is the first Simple product I tried back in England, and it’s that product that made me fall in love with the brand. What makes the facial scrub stand out is three features that I look for in any scrub: 1. Smell. 2. Texture. 3. Gentle Yet Effective.

Facial Scrub For Sensitive Skin
I know it sounds easy to attain, but I believe simple, good things are not that easy to make, and that is true in every aspect of life. The way I judge any brand or, for example, a restaurant, is by determining how well they prepare the simplest things, like cooking an egg. Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub checks all my requirements effortlessly.
Top Summer Beauty Products
My summers in Scottsdale Arizona are hot, hot, hot. The key is to stay dry, smell good, keep my face refreshed and clean, and keep my hair super straight and silky. Here are my must-have beauty products that do all that while simultaneously keeping me cool and feeling good.
1. My $10 pink sunglasses are super fun and cute for summer, and they actually work amazing to block the sun. In Arizona, sunglasses are not jut an accessory… they are a necessity! Plus, pink is the new black.

Beauty Business
For my all-day business look and to keep fresh through-out the day I have to have a good skincare routine from the morning. I’ve learned if for some reason I don’t get my skincare and makeup right from the start I know I won’t survive a whole day looking good or feeling good. I don’t skip any steps. I’m on the mission to get it very right.

To get my skin prepped I like to use beauty products for sensitive skin, such as Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub to gently remove dry skin. Then tone it with Simple Soothing Toner to leave sensitive skin feeling clean and refreshed. Followed by Simple Vital Vitamin Day Cream SPF 15 to moisturize and Simple Soothing Eye Balm to soothe and relax tired eyes…then on to makeup.
Proper Eye Makeup Removal Technique
I love my smoky eye and eye makeup. But when the day or party is over it’s time to take it all off. Especially at night I don’t want all that black mascara, eye liner and shimmery eye shadow on my pillow. The quickest, most effective, and gentle way I like to remove my eye makeup is with Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, which cleanse, refresh and nourish skin.

How To Remove Eye Makeup-My Technique
I take one wipe and use it to remove eye makeup from one eye. I use one separate wipe for each eye, I don’t mix. These Simple facial wipes are super wet, fragrance free and gentle. The magic word here is super moist without being oily and this is why these wipes stand out from the rest.
How to bring dry flaky skin back to life
My top skincare secret for getting my sensitive skin smooth, soft, and glowing is with 2 very easy steps: exfoliating then hydrating. The reason I exfoliate my skin is because without it my skin feels dry, flaky, and even looks darker or ashy to me i.e. dull. All the dead skin on the surface are dulling my complexion and blocking any good moisture to penetrate. All in all, a bad skin day. The sensitive skincare products from Simple Skincare make getting my skin smooth and often sensitive skin back to life not a wish, but a reality. Here’s my video with a step-by-step how-to:

Simple Skincare Products I Just Can’t Live Without
Not sure if you knew by now but I love makeup and I like to wear it everyday. I’m one of those gals that doesn’t really have a day-to-night makeup I really love dramatic makeup as soon as I wake up. The smoky eye, the perfectly blushed cheeks, flawless skin, and of course the lip gloss. I do know however that great looking makeup can only look good on great looking skin. And my go-to skincare products are by Simple Skincare.

Great makeup starts with great skincare
For me the biggest thing that makes my skin radiant is when my skin is exfoliated and very hydrated. But there is a catch 22 here, because exfoliating my skin using the wrong skincare products can also sometimes irritate my skin or the product can be too harsh.
