See you there!

Are you about to put that sunscreen away and plan on not seeing it until next summer? Stop right there please!  One thing to keep in mind is that just because we won’t be seeing much of the sun, it’s still super important to continue using sunscreen!  Sunscreen should be that beauty product that is part of your daily routine.  Your skin is constantly exposed to sun rays even when you least expect it.  If you plan on hanging on to dewy youthful skin, I strongly recommend that you always use sunscreen.  It is one of the key anti-aging weapons.

Does it look like you traveled to the Sahara Desert and brought back a piece of it because your skin looks similar to it? Now you’ve got work to do like using a gentle body scrub to get rid of the dead skin cells, and allow for new ones to grow.  Depending on how sensitive your skin is, there are lots of body scrubs to choose from.  I have never been a fan of salt scrubs because it’s too harsh for my skin.  It stings and makes my skin red.  This is one of the reasons I wanted to make our body smoother with sugar, sans seeds, or crushed nut shells.  All natural sugar does the job and exfoliates the skin nicely and then melts away.  Coupled that with organic shea butter, argan oil and olive oil, and you’ve got a scrub that is packed with hydrating, moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients.  This is a nice blend to get your skin in tip top shape.

Are you mortified to see what the sun, chlorine and all the environmental impurities did to your skin? I have been in denial for quite some time that summer is over.  I’ve especially ignored anything that mentioned “Back-to-School”.  Of course it’s hard as my daughter needs to get ready for it.  This week she spent 2 straight days in the pool and I was mortified to see her skin…. it was so dry from the sun and chlorine… ugh…!   After taking a bath, she was so tired that she went to bed without using moisturizer.  This morning her skin was so flaky and dry that I had to slather body butter all over her.  She’s young and has such beautiful skin and I want to make sure she keeps it for a long time.

A good moisturizer is your other weapon for anti-aging and for welcoming the coming new season.  Your skin will change with the season.  Often times you will need to find a lotion or butter that is ultra moisturizing to keep up with this change.  Body butters work extremely well in the fall/winter season.  Some people with sensitive skin find that a body butter type of moisturizer helps soothe dry, itchy skin more so than lotion.  Eczema and other skin irritations flare up in colder seasons and if you are one of those people then you need to find an ultra hydrating moisturizer rich in vitamins and nutrients that’s also formulated for sensitive skin.

Do you think there are too many steps to maintain healthy and beautiful skin? Perhaps…, but your skin is WORTH it!   I am constantly running around, so I understand what most of you go through.  When we created our Four Truffles bodycare system we had 4 things in mind – simplicity, healthy, functional and performance.  Whether its Four Truffles bodycare or something else,  take the time to find one and stick to it.  I hope you find the right regimen that suits you and please share some of your thoughts or findings right here.

Here’s an excerpt from Naag.com, a fab lifestyle online magazine created by British actress/ supermodel Agyness Deyn and French writer Fiona Byrne.  In this piece Tamar says “limes are boss”  and points out emphatically why Four Truffles lime basil mandarin creamy body wash is buzz worthy!

Read on and chalk one up for Lime Basil Mandarin fans!

Music serves as the backdrop and anchor for my memories and totally sets my mood so I often choose new songs to get me going intermixed with old ones that strike a memory to make me smile and go that extra mile.

Here is my list of songs that currently set the tone to get me in the zone this summer:

Billionaire / Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars
Lisztomania / Phoenix
Soul Sister / Train
Who Am I (What’s My Name?) / Snoop Dogg
Uprising / Muse
Say Aah / Trey Songz feat. Fabolous
B.O.B / Outkast
I Like That /  Richard Vission & Static Revenger feat. Luciana
Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here (Dance Mix) / Deborah Cox
Bulletproof  /  La Roux
1901 / Phoenix
Cooler Than Me / Mike Posner
Break Your Heart / Taio Cruz feat. Ludacris
Sweet Disposition / The Temper Trap

Skin that radiates health always looks sexy so here’s a simple system that’ll get you ready to glow!

1.  Prep:
Glowing body skin starts with exfoliation.  Slough off those winter scales and start anew by using a body scrub two to four days a week.  Try Four Truffles Earth Apple Body Smoother or one from the “10 Best Body Scrubs” list on the “A Women’s Talk” beauty blog.

Another step in your prep work is to avoid the stuff that makes you puff. Care for your body inside and out by limiting your caffeine, alcohol, salt and dairy intake at least 1 day before and on the actual day you plan to show major skin.  Nourish your body and build your confidence with water, green tea (instead of your latte), fruit, and veggies.

2.  Primp:
Tan fat always looks better than white fat so I highly recommend using a self tanner the night before you plan the big reveal.  I am a major fan of Neutrogena’s MicroMist Sunless Tanning Spray for a mistake-free, mess-free, natural-looking tan. This product is so easy you can even spray fake abs, pecs and quads like a pro!

To fake a taut tummy in your two-piece, apply self-tanner to the vertical contours on either side of your belly button.  You can also use a matte waterproof bronzer to whittle your middle if spray tanning freaks you out.

For legs to long for, layer a few sprays of self-tanner or that matte waterproof bronzer under your calf muscles and along the length of your quadricep indents on the inside and outside of each thigh.  I’ve even read that Dancing With the Stars pros spray along the crescent below each butt cheek but I’m weary of highlighting the peaks and valleys on my moon so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

To balance the body, I also recommend highlighting the clavicle, shoulders and décolletage to reinforce people to look upwards and to promote envy with your bangin’ body from head to toe.
