Mood Boosting Scents

Did you know that getting yourself out of a funk could be as easy as taking an inhale? Well it is true! The area of our brain that processes smell is linked with the area that processes emotion, and so smelling something good can actually boost your mood. However, not all smells have this affect, so the following is an outline of some smells that are pleasant to the nose and your spirit!

Peppermint: This scent is said to stimulate the part of your brain that controls wakefulness and so a good whiff of this can have you feeling more alert on sluggish day. Beauty Tip: Peppermint also possesses amazing antibacterial properties - we use it in our Beta Mask.

Lavender: If you want the opposite affect of peppermint, lavender is the choice for you as it has been proven to calm the brain and offer serenity in a busy world. Beauty Tip: Lavender is used in our TranspHuse Night Serum to calm the senses before bedtime.

Citrus: The bright,uplifting scent of citrus fruits are commonly associated with happy memories and can easily brighten your day.
Beauty Tip: Wake-up with a smile on your face by using our C-Peel first thing in the morning, it's gentle exfoliation and uplifting orange scent will send you sailing into your day.

Seasonal Skincare Tips

For most people, the first of September marks a new beginning: students head back to school, office drones bear adieu to summer Fridays and most everyone readies themselves for the change in season. But as we pack away our bathing suits and study the fall fashion trends, it is also important to understand that your skin will need a new wardrobe of products as well. The change in season between summer and fall is the most drastic on your skin, so we have compiled a suggestions of Autumn skincare adaptations everyone should consider.

Dehydration: During the colder months, we are often cuddled up in the warmth of our homes, while this is comforting on those colder days, it can also cause skin to rapidly loose its natural moisture. So a product that will rehydrate thirsty skin is vital.
~Recommended Product: Total Skin Revitalizer attracts moisture and binds it to the deepest cell layers.

Chapping: That sometimes wicked, unforgiving wind of the colder months can do a number on your face, leaving you with cracked, chapped skin. Add a soothing product to protect against those harsher weather conditions.
~Recommended Product: pHormula 3-9 lip balm heals your lips while protecting it from further damage.

Dryness: Scaly cold-weather skin is a pretty inevitable occurrence for most, and the majority except it by covering themselves up with layers of clothing. Adding an exfoliating product into your regime will help slough off those dead skin cells fast to leave you skin soft and supple.
~Recommended Product: C-Peel is a two-phase peel that polishes and smooths the complexion.

The one seasonal skincare change you shouldn't make? Stopping your sunscreen use! Just because you might not be able to see or feel the sun's rays, does not mean your skin can't still suffer the damages. Happy fall everyone!

Exfoliate Away!

Sometimes, as amazing as the human body is, it just doesn’t quite do enough. Our bodies exfoliate on average every 28 days, but that doesn’t always remove all the dead skin cells and oils that can lead to unhealthy skin. So, what are the benefits of lending your body a helping hand?

1) Exfoliating leaves your skin with a smoother texture; those dead skin cells we just mentioned can leave skin inconsistent and rough. Worse, dead skin cells can also cause unsightly acne when they (and oil) clog pores. No dead cells, no inconsistency, no roughness, no acne!

2) Exfoliating also has an anti-aging effect. As we age, the effectiveness of our natural exfoliation processes diminishes. As a result, dry skin, fine lines, and wrinkles become much more apparent.

3) If you have any blemishes or marks on your skin, exfoliating can be a great help in reducing their appearance. Each time you do so, you remove the top layer of skin and get closer to the unblemished skin below. Eventually, any discoloration should disappear!

Erno Laszlo offers some great products that can help with the exfoliation process. For the body, we suggest our Gentle Body Exfoliator, which uses a variety of minerals and fruit extracts to bring your skin up to its full potential. Also, for the face, C-Peel harnesses the power of Vitamin C to rejuvenate your face, leaving it radiant!

"I would have to say that my favorite product, especially during the winter, is the Active Phelityl Oil. I look forward to using it every night - it feels really great to massage into my skin after a long day!
