Stronger Together

 Every year, AVON teams up with the American Cancer Society "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" which is the largest network of breast cancer fundraising events in the nation, and unites over 200 communities, across the country, to lead the fight.  Breast Cancer Awareness has been a passion of mine for many years, as it has affected my family, my friends and cost my husband his mother in 1976 when he was just 12. It affects both MEN (long forgotten until recent years) and women, and - even with all that we know now and the treatments available - it still costs lives, even now. It has the power to destroy lives and families, so the fight for a cure goes on. 

At the same time as the national events, local AVON representatives organize teams to walk, or run smaller fundraisers, and offer support services. Free mammograms exist BUT if you don't have a car, and there's no bus service, how can somebody go for one?  That was one year's goal for my local representatives. Others have included raising money for a person dealing with the disease, simply to help with bills and everyday expenses.

I'm quite proud of the fact that AVON began their Breast Cancer Crusade back in 1992, long before many other companies took note and began their corporate donations.

You can help me in my goal to raise money to help fund research and support those dealing with the disease, their families, and their caregivers.

Thank you for your support. If you can't donate, please share. 

Have a great day!

Vegan Beauty - It's Simply Natural

Nowadays, with more and more people conscious of "eating healthy", and the concept of "clean eating", it should come as no surprise that those who live that lifestyle are looking for "clean beauty" as well. 

So, what is "Clean Beauty"? Put simply, it's simply natural products made from natural, renewable sources without any parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or mineral oil, no synthetic dyes or fragrances and that bans any kind of animal testing on the formulas and products.

AVON's new FarmX range ticks all the boxes. It has a clean formula of over 85% natural ingredients, using only certain safe synthetic ingredients necessary to preserve the integrity of the formulas, and sustainable packaging. Every product has been dermatologically tested and is hypoallergenic, making them perfect for those (like me) with sensitive skin.

FarmX is AVON's new Vegan Skin Care Collection, and is made from natural plant-based ingredients, for healthy skin. AVON's innovative trademarked Slow Herb Complex is a blend of botanicals that thrive in dry conditions that are then slowly cold-brewed to extract antioxidants for peak efficacy, resulting in dry skin that feels instantly nourished and has a fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Let's talk moisturizers!

Depending on whether you need cooling hydration, or nourishing moisture, you will love either the Super Greens Cooling Gel or the Super Greens Multivitamin Moisture Cream.

The basis of the Super Greens formulas comprises 4 "greens:

Broccoli Sprouts - rich in vitamins A, B and C, are known to help calm and reduce redness;

Green Tea - which contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that help to soothe and protect skin;

Moringa Oil - which helps protect the skin's moisture barrier with omega fatty acids;

and

Brussels Sprouts - high in both antioxidants and vitamins and known to help repair damaged skin.

9 out of 10 women who tried the Super Greens Cooling Gel said they instantly saw skin that looked moisturized and refreshed.

There are 2 ways to use this cooling gel, the first is as a light moisturizer to help soothe and cool skin. The second is to use it as a night-time mask, by applying a thicker layer after your regular serum, to hydrate overnight, when needed.

The Super Greens Multivitamin Moisture Cream also received favourable reviews, 9 out of 10 women saw skin that looked replenished and felt smoother.

This moisture cream should be used daily after cleansing, serums and treatments.

I have tried both and definitely liked the way my skin felt and looked after use.

For those who need a gentle plant-based alternative to Retinol, that helps visibly reduce wrinkles and also helps with discolouration, AVON introduces Bakuchiol Serum, for the face, and Eye Cream.

The Bakuchiol Serum penetrates the skin's surface to visibly improve fine lines, wrinkles and dullness, for younger, more radiant-looking skin. You can watch a video on the product page, at the link

Bakuchiol Eye Cream hydrates and revitalizes the eye area, for a brighter, smoother and firmer look. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkle, and those dark circles that some of us get under our eyes.

With more and more people seeking natural alternatives in their lifestyles, the Farm X range offers a Vegan option for skin care, so that skin care doesn't have to mean ignoring your beliefs.

I'm glad to see this, as there was a lack of Vegan products in the marketplace and - too often - one had to compromise one's integrity in order to age gracefully, skin-wise.

Please feel free to email me at rosesavonshoppe@aol.com with any questions, I am always happy to answer.  

You can order 24/7 through my website www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey 

All orders over $60 receive FREE SHIPPING  (no code necessary, just my way of thanking you for shopping with me).

Power Cleansing

 One of the tenets of K-Beauty is the idea of double cleansing, and it's a very simple process, and is exactly that - cleansing the facial skin, not just once, but twice, with 2 different types of cleansers. Usually, the first is oil-based, so that you can clean make up, sunscreen and other pollutants off of your face, and clears the way for you to then cleanse your skin with your usual water-based cleanser.

Most people tend to double cleanse at night, since that's usually when you ne sahould use an oil-based cleanser/bed to be removing your make up before bed. This night time routine is often enough for most people, and just their usual cleanser in the morning, but for those with oily skin, it may be beneficial morning and night.

Double cleansing is good for all skin types, but those with sensitive skin should use an oil based cleanser/balm and then a specifically gentle cleanser formulated for sensitive skin.. It's definitely great for those who like to be fully made up when they go out in the world, who have oily skin, and those who suffer from breakouts.

Jeannine Whitver, AVON's Senior Product Education Manager, suggests starting with an oil-based liquid or gel cleanser, a cleansing balm or a gentle facial scrub like AVON's new Isa Knox LXNEW Clean 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleansing Balm. She then advises following that up with your regular water-based cream or gel cleanser, like one of the new Isa Knox LXNew Clean range. You would choose the one that best suits your skin type, and then finish the rest of your skin care routine.
