The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Review, Barbies Beauty Bits
 
Skincare Beauty Deals Of The Week 
Botox In A Bottle-Social media users have popularized the phrase 'Botox in a bottle' for skincare products that reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Similar to Botox, the benefits of these products include wrinkle reduction, plumping, and firming.
 
Two products that have been touted as Botox in a bottle are two products from The Oridinary, which are 
 
Product 1: The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% and Matrixyl* 10% + HA The Ordinary's matrixyl and argireline duo is my discovery. The treatment is similar to Botox injections in its ability to reduce facial muscle contractions and wrinkles. 
 
Product 2: This product is found at Sephora: The Exfoliant...Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum
 
Wrinkles form from dry skin. Dead skin cells can make it look worse, hence using a product to help exfoliate and hydrate the skin, will reduce the appearance of wrinkles!

What you love about retinol, without the irritation. Minimize the look of wrinkles & treat premature signs of aging with this powerful, dry oil serum formulated with a blend of 3 botanical retinol alternatives- bakuchiol.

Beauty Tips For Glowing Skin This Thanksgiving

Beauty Tips For Glowing Skin This Thanksgiving, Barbie's Beauty Bits
Beauty Tips to Have Glowing Skin This Thanksgiving With Barbie's Beauty Bits


Thanksgiving and Black Friday are right around the corner, and while this can be such a wonderful time of year, it can also be stressful!


The risks include not getting enough beauty sleep, gaining weight, dehydration, breakouts, family drama, stress, and drinking. Dealing with all of this can be frustrating and place a toll on our body and mind.


So, you need to find ways to give your body, skin, and mind a break, and we are here to help.

 

Beauty And Skincare Tips During Thanksgiving

 

Get Your Beauty Sleep For Glowing Skin

Beauty Sleep really exists. You hear me say this a lot, and it's true, especially because Holiday stress can really impact your sleep.


Our bodies require 7 to 9 hours of sound sleep to replenish, heal, and restore. 


Every night, it's like going to the fountain of youth since our skin goes into repair mode when we sleep.Tthe regeneration process at night can be up to 3 times faster than during the day. Your body will produce more collagen, which is key to keeping the skin plump and youthful!  


During the holiday, it can be challenging to get enough sleep. But you still need to stay on schedule and not blast the heat. Cooler temperatures are best for sleeping. 


A tip is to make time in your schedule for thirty minutes to unwind before bed. This is a fantastic time to cleanse your face and use our Beauty Sleep set, which is packed with potent antioxidants that help your skin heal itself overnight.

 

How to properly wash your face, barbies beauty bits

Wash Your Face Like A Pro

You may be asking yourself, cleanse my face like a pro. How difficult is it to wash my face? Isn't it pretty straightforward? There is a way to cleanse your skin properly, and NO it does not include using bar soap and water unless you want to upset your skin's PH balance, causing more bacteria to grow and breakouts.


When it comes to cleansing, you want to avoid harsh cleansers. While removing oil from your skin may seem ideal, it is not. The truth is your skin produces healthy oils to help protect the skin. Many do not realize they can damage their moisture barrier and end up with breakouts by over washing the face with the wrong type of cleanser.


A skincare line I love is  La Roche-Posay. 90,000 Dermatologists worldwide recommend it. Do I need to say more?  

 

Treat Yourself To A Glowing Spa Treatment

Setting time aside to pamper yourself is a must to survive the start of the craziness that the holiday season will bring. There is nothing like spa treatments to set yourself up for success. Whether in the comfort of your home or at a spa.


chemical peel or microdermabrasion is one of the best ways to add that glow to your skin. These rejuvenating treatments will help boost collagen,significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkling, and give back that radiance and glow to the skin. 


Beauty Essentials You Need To Pack In Your Thanksgiving Travel Bag

Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time of the year, with traffic delays, busy airports, and roads.


Did you know that airplane cabins have extremely low humidity, which causes dryness and dehydration in the skin—this is why it is a must to pack a hydrating toner.


A favorite hydrating toner of mine is Meebak 2-in-1 Cica Misting Toner. Not only can this face toner be used for some significant hydration for your skin, but you can also use it to blend and set your makeup or refresh and revive your look throughout the day. 

 

So there you have it. Beauty tips to have glowing skin this Thanksgiving.-gobble, gobble!

Tips To Cleanse Your Face Like A Pro

tips to cleanse your skin like a pro barbies beauty bits

You may be thinking, what do you mean Barbie's Beauty Bits, cleanse my face like a pro? How difficult can it be to wash my face? Isn't it pretty straightforward? Well, there is a way to cleanse your skin correctly, and no, this doesn't include using bar soap and water unless you want to mess up your skin's PH balance, which allows for more bacteria and yeast growth, leading to skin irritations and breakouts.
 
Properly removing makeup and other grime your skin has been exposed all day is a difference between healthy, glowing skin and aging, dry, acne-prone skin. I partnered up with Hyalo AI Beauty for this post, so continue reading if you are ready for a clean start!
 
How To Cleanse Your Face Like A Pro
Cleansing is the first step in a skincare routine, but it's probably the last one many think about! Just look at all those Instagram posts. They are usually about products like a moisturizer, a serum, or a sheet mask that get all of the skincare credit! While a cleanser is more inclined to be forgotten as soon as it's washed down the drain.
 
But that is not the way it should be! Guess mom knew something when she said to make sure you wash your face before you go to bed! So, let's dive in a bit deeper on how to cleanse your face like a pro.
 
Avoid The Squeaking Clean Syndrome
When we hear the word squeaky clean, many think that is a good thing. But it is not when it comes to the health of your skin. If your face feels squeaky clean, you have more than likely damaged the skin's protective barrier, as you have stripped the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, tight, damaged, and compromised. Over time, your skin will become more exposed to flaking, uneven skin tone, and free radicals, leading to premature aging.
 
So first step to becoming a cleansing pro is to select a suitable cleanser that does not leave your skin squeaky clean! 

best-cruelty-free-face-cleanser-barbies-beauty-bits

Invest In A Foaming Cleanser
One of my favorite types of cleansers is a foaming cleanser. This type deeply cleanses without stripping your moisture barrier. The foaming particles work perfectly at lifting dirt and debris out of the deeper parts of your pores and affect an even greater cleaning action leaving your skin soft and refreshed.
 
Foam cleansers like the OBubbly Dullness Defying Face Wash from Hyalo AI Beauty is a perfect example of this type of cleanser. As not only does this cleanser remove the dirt and other grime, but it also exfoliates your skin on a molecular level for faster skin renewal.
 
Look At The Ingredients When Selecting A Facial Cleanser
The second step to becoming a pro at cleansing your face is looking at the ingredients. Stay away from harsh fragrances and synthetic ingredients. Instead, you want to look for a cleanser like the all-natural Hyalo AI Beauty OBubbly Face Wash that harnesses active ingredients (AI) which primarily come from plants and food and pair seamlessly with the skin. Plus, Hyalo AI products have been clinically tested for safety and efficacy and are cruelty-free and nature-approved. Which equals Barbie's Beauty Bits approved as well!
 
Take a look at this below! Ingredients like their proprietary blend of 16 active ingredients (AI16), featuring Golden Corn AI, Allantoin AI, and Hops AI. Each is sourced sustainably, in its purest form, to deliver pure cleansing goodness. These ingredients work together to help with the way your skin looks and feels by healing and preserving.
 
Golden Corn AI- This ingredient packs a punch by replenishing and retaining moisture, improving elasticity and firmness while shielding the pores from impurities.
 
Allantoin and Hops AI join in to further calm and nourish the skin. The hops aid in shielding the skin from aging, boosting collagen products, leaving the skin soft and supple.
 
Comfrey AI- This is a hydrating exfoliant that defies, shields, and heals.

All ingredients work on a molecular level thanks to Hyalo AI Nanosphere Technology. Which are nano-sized particles that penetrate the epidermis to intelligently deliver essential active ingredients in a targeted, sequential, and time-controlled manner at the molecular level.  
 
The result? Beautiful skin that looks and feels rejuvenated, energized, and radiant!

Use Lukewarm Water When Washing Your Face
The best water temperature to be used when washing your face is to use warm water. Hot water can strip the skin of essential oils, leading to dry skin. Cold water doesn't effectively remove the grit and grime from your face. You can also invest in some micellar water for some extra TLC.

Avoid Pulling And Tugging On The Skin When Washing Your Face
You may not even realize that you could be pulling and tugging on your skin, and this, too, can lead to premature aging. Instead of aggressively scrubbing a cleanser into the skin when you wash your face, you want to be as gentle as possible. The correct way to wash your face is in an upward circular motion, rinse when finished, and if you're going to dry your face, avoid a washcloth. This takes us to our next tip, do not use a traditional washcloth.

Do Not Use Washcloths On Your Face
Washcloths can harbor bacteria, which can irritate the skin and lead to premature aging. Also, a washcloth can provide extra exfoliation, and you do not want to over-exfoliate, as the skin's barrier function can become compromised. Causing the skin to become dehydrated and capillaries can become damaged.
 
If you insist on using a washcloth, use a microfiber, antimicrobial towel. And when it comes to drying, air-drying is best, but if you must use something to dry off, do so by patting the skin.

the importance of washing your face at night barbies beauty bits

Do Not Go To Bed Alone
No, I am not talking about a person. I am talking about skincare at night with some Hyalo AI Beauty products as beauty sleep is real!
 
First, the skin is exposed to tons of things during the day. While many may not think much of it, the skin's surface builds up dead skin cells, bacteria, sweat, makeup, and other debris, that if not removed, will lead to free radical damage, which is the number one cause of premature aging.
 
Secondly, the skin switches from "protect" mode to "repair" mode at night to undo stress, undo pollutants, undo time, and recover the skin! While we are sleeping, our HGH (the human growth hormone), which is responsible for accelerating skin's repair and cell regeneration, kicks in full gear!  
 
Considering our skin cells are working full time at night, this is also a perfect time to apply other skincare products to help provide needed nutrients to maximize the cell regeneration process.
 
Hyalo AI Beauty products work amazingly overnight. With their timed-controlled release delivery system, the OBubbly Dullness Defying Face Wash continues to work on the skin for 24-hours.  
 
Implement A Morning Skincare Routine
One crucial step to tie into your morning routine is an effective skincare routine. To rock your day, you need to be prepared, and your skin is not excluded.
 
We just said above that when we rest, our skin rejuvenates, repairs, and recovers. Hence, your morning routine will prepare your skin for the day by nourishing, detoxifying, protecting, and re-balancing the skin.
 
Hyalo AI Beauty products work amazingly to kick start your day. And it is not just the cleanser. A fantastic way to perk up fatigued skin and brighten up your tired eyes is not with a morning cup of coffee but with a matcha shot instead, AKA Matcha Shot Time Defying Eye Serum.
 
And after the Matcha Shot, you can then Rosé all day in a healthy way with Rosé Spot Defying Primer. I love wearing this primer alone or using it with my makeup, as it is perfect for keeping my makeup in place and looking flawless throughout the day.
