Time To Try PCA SKIN

by Beyond Beauty Basics

PCA Skin SkincareWe are always on the lookout for the latest in skincare for both men and women, and we have found another favorite. Let me introduce you all to PCA SKIN. PCA SKIN is a medical grade skincare line that has incorporated the latest in medical and scientific research to bring you incredible products that nourish, hydrate, rejuvenate and deliver optimal results to your skin.What I love most about this line is after experiencing these highly innovative products, my skin was soft, subtle, and radiant. I am always that girl that has a problem with pretty much anything that touches the skin on my face. I turn red, get irritated, usually a little bit of a breakout, but not with PCA SKIN.

The company is committed to creating highly effective formulations that bridge aesthetics with science to deliver a healthy and more radiant skin. The entire line is free of color additives, synthetic fragrances, harsh alcohols, and completely non-comedogenic.
PCA SKINThe entire line is extremely luxurious and effective, however, I always have a favorite and I am in love with the pHaze 25 ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum. This serum is formulated to relax the muscles that cause contraction in the skin which really means less expression lines. I know we are all on the quest to stay young and have firm skin. This serum is so incredible that I saw a difference in one application. Argireline is a peptide ingredient that relaxes the facial muscles and reduces the depth of the existing lines. The best part is, you feel an immediate tightening when you apply this serum.

Check out PCASKIN.com for a look into this incredible skin care line. You will love the before and after pics, I was amazed at the results!

5 Steps to Perfect Skin: The Somme Institute

by Beyond Beauty Basics

somme.jpgI need products that not only claim to work, but I need products that deliver results. I was recently introduced to the Somme Institute scientifically advanced skin care and I need to share my excitement with you all. Not only is this system simple, easy, and effective. All you need are these 5 steps, morning and night, and your skin will thank you.

  1. Nourishing Cleanser
  2. Transport Pads
  3. Serum
  4. A-Bomb
  5. Double Defense Face and Body SPF 30

These are the 5 steps to beautiful, perfect skin. What makes this line different from any other line? I know, I am the biggest skeptic there is, and I am in the beauty business so I feel like I have heard the selling lines one to many times. When I learned about Somme Institute Skincare, I was again skeptical, until I used it and saw an immediate result!

What makes this line so different from all other skin care lines is the technology. Somme Institute uses ultra-violet cameras to detect skin damage beneath the surface to target concerns and the result is visible improvements in the overall texture, tone, and clarity within a week. The patented technology called Molecular Dispersion Technology 5 or MDT5 will recapture a radiant, youthful complexion in just one week. This is a cosmeceutical skin care brand, which means that Somme Institute uses cosmetics combined with pharmaceutical grade ingredients to give you maximum results.

abomb.jpgThe Somme Institute Regimen is simple, easy, and used the same for both day and night. This regimen has been clinically proven to treat moderate to severe acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reverse sun damage and lighten brown age spots, and dramatically improve the skin’s tone, texture, and clarity.

My personal favorite product is the Somme Institute A-Bomb, this is a hydrator packed with vitamin A and E, as well as the powerful MDT5 complex and I have seen an incredible difference in the overall brightness and even tone of my skin since I started to use this regimen.

Check out the SommeInstitute.com for an in-depth look at what these products can do for you, they have changed my skin and I know you will not be disappointed in the results you will have from this line.
