Be You Beauty

More LED lights explained.
There are some masks that do even more colours than there. But these the most common ones.
When looking for an led mask its best to have a chat with me there are a few important things to look out for to make sure you are getting quality. The wave length range, the power box strength, amount of LED to name a few. You know me tho happy to help and awsner any questions.

LED mask
This is a investment piece for sure. But it can benefit the whole family.
LED masks can have many different colored lights for a few different reasons but for anti ageing we want red!
RED LED - light penetrates the skin and works as energy to wake up the cells and reminds then to make more collagen ad elastin. NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT - is invisible but reaches deeper in the skin and helps with the repair and renewal process.
Blue = bacteria killing. Ill cover the other colours tomorrow.

Let's talk Collagen for anti ageing. I love and use Adashiko joint care.
It uses a porcine collagen which has type 1, 2 and 3 collagen in it. Which is rare to find. Type 1 works on skin, bones, tendons. Type 2 works on cartilage and joints. Type 3 works on connective tissue.
Collagen give your skin structure, strength, firmness and bounce. As we mature/age we naturally make less collagen. Collagen supports your whole body. Once absorbed its will go where it is needed most. Gut lining, knee injury. Look at it like this your skin/body is a bouncy mattress. As we age the spring get tired. We'll collagen give your body more building blocks to keep the spring strong. Worried about how it taste? Or what to put it into? Just ask me next time ur in.

Let's start with sunscreen.
Simple versions
Sun uv rays = cell/collagen damage = wrinkles and pigmentation
Sunscreen = skin shield = blocks uv = younger for longer.

In short the sun produces uv rays all year round. Those rays break down collagen and elastin which are abit like a brick wall. Broken bricks = not a good strong wall. You DO NOT have to get sun burnt to get uv damage. NZ has a really strong uv index so even if u are working inside remeber light can scatter and reflect on things. So if anti ageing is important to you id say sunscreen EVERY SINGLE DAY! Just like me! I have a couple of different sunscreens i can recommend just ask!!

My Anti ageing non negotiable are

-VItmin C serum

NATURAL DEODERANT (bit of a different personal one)
Natural deodorant and I have never been friends I've tried a few different brands and always end up smelling even after the detox period. Sorry team.

Are you the same?

Well Im excited to be trying 'Fussy'
Its different in that it has a micobiome ingredent that actually eats away the bacteria that causes the odour.

Did you know thats its the bacteria that creates the smell?

Yup sure is.

Another helpful tip Fussy has told me is that just like in ur skin ur old deodorant has coated your t-shirt👕 and that bacteria can live in there even after washing. Ewwwww right! Dw keep washing your t- shirt and it will eventually disappear. But It might mean the whole time u were thinking you smell actually it was ur t-shirt or maybe both of you. So a simple wash and t-shirt refresh might have been all you needed. *Boom* mind blown helpful piece of info right. 👌

1 more piece of info Fussy is also slightly different in because of the micobiome bacteria eating ingredient during your detoxing period u can quickly throw some more on and 💥 smell gone.

Now im only on day 5 of using this stuff but im super super impressed so far hence my post on a Sunday! Keep your eyes out for an update in a couple of weeks.

Find it hard to fit in your skincare routine?
When do like to do your LED mask?

Apprently my favorite time to mask is folding washing. Lol not really its just a great time to multi task. :)
I mean really how many times a week do you fold washing? And for how long?
LED mask is 3 times a week and for as little as 10mins so you work it out.

Also another thing to take into count is your time of day. Like really who ever said that ur skincare night routine had to be after the kids went to bed?, when it was dark?, or at bed time? Well in my busy mum life by bed time im crashing and it the last thing I want to do so often its apart of my afternoon routine.

When talking to clients its something i get them to thing about as well.
