Cara B.'s Updates

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the delay in posting! It's been a hectic few months out here. I had planned on the "Your Natural Face" series to last only 6 weeks, but it seems to be taking longer. Business is taking off quite a bit over here, but I promise I will continue the series very soon, when I have some time to sit down and put together a video. Please continue to check back for updates on the blog here, and send me any and all questions and/or comments you have.

As a side note, my bridal rates will be going up sometime before May, so be sure to check the website for the new rates: http://www.carabhealthandbeauty.com. New to the list of services are Hot Stone Massage and Airbrush Makeup. Maternity massage will be added in May.

Although the current spring weather has been raining, just remember: April showers bring May flowers! Take care all!

And as always, WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!!!

Winter Skin Care

Hello everyone, and belated happy new year!

I hope that even during this awful and cold winter weather everyone is still taking care of their skin. For example, are you putting sunscreen/sunblock of at least SPF 15 on your skin everyday? Or, did you decide that now that it's not warm that means that the sun doesn't come out anymore? Remember, even when the weather is cold and it's not sunny out, YOU CAN STILL GET SUNBURNED! Your skin is the largest organ that your body possesses, please take care of it! It's super important to put sunscreen/sunblock on your skin every single day of the year whether it's cold out or warm out, sunny or overcast.

One of the most common oversights that people have is not putting sunscreen/block on year round. Most people I've met believe that when the sky is overcast that means that the clouds are blocking the sun from us, therefore our skin is already protected (or something along those lines). SO WRONG! The only thing that will protect you from sunburn is an SPF 15 or higher sunblock or sunscreen.

Protecting your skin from the sun will have many health benefits as well as beauty benefits. Keeping your skin protected will assist in preventing certain types of skin cancer, signs of aging, and the all powerful, SUNBURN. It is important to get some sun time in everyday so that your body still gets its ultra important Vitamin D. Rest assured that this message is not to discourage you from spending ANY time in the sun, it is simply to suggest you spend a shorter amount of time in the sun. If you put sunblock/screen on everyday underneath your foundation and on top of your moisturizer, you are bound run into fewer sun problems. Another great suggestion, in order to take out a few steps in your morning routine, is to find a foundation with an SPF built in OR a moisturizer with an SPF built in. Be sure to remember that putting on two different SPF's will NOT heighten the affect of the SPF. Adding 2 SPF's together does not equal a higher #.

Be sure to check in next week, as I will be starting a 6 week video series called "Your Natural Face". I will be going through all of the steps to creating your natural face!
