Is My Scar And My Stretchmarks Gone? One Month Dermaclara Clarafuse Silicon Fusion Follow Up!

I had the oportunity to try Dermaclara and see if it really helps fade scars, for those off you that don't know or didn't see my video on Instagram here is the details. 

Dermaclara is a Silicone Fusion Treatment that reduce stretch marks, scars, keloids and fine lines quickly and comfortably- without painful injections, laser, or expensive and high risk surgeries. It is meant to give you medical grade results at home. 

The heart shaped Silicone Fusion sticks to the skin and can be applied almost anywhere on the body. I used one on stretch marks and one on each of my breast, to see how it helps fade my scar from my recent breast reduction. 

I also received a cleanser, which they recommend before applying the Silicon Fusion. The Claraline is a Peptide Fusion Serum recommended to use after you remove the Silicon.  

I also received a Claratone, a micropulsating device technology that helps enhance product absoption. It was pretty cool to use, it vibrates and feels pretty cool. 

I did not see much change in my abdomen area from the Dermaclara, except for the skin looking brighter and healthier no change was noted in the stretch marks. I will blame this on the fact that they are older then they probably recommend for the effectiveness of this treatment. 

The big change is clear on the scar on my breast, its a new scar (only 3 Months) so it worked really well. I can tell the improvement immediately and the area also feels smother. Here are my results after one month of using it every other night for 7+ hours....... 

Overall I'm very happy with my results, for my size scars it worked great. I will say that for the use of stretch-marks, unless its only in a small area it really does not cover much ground. Which if you consider the price tag is not a great value, for scars, or a small area of stretch marks, wrinkles it makes it worth it. 

The patch is good until it stops sticking, which happened right around the one month mark. I would love to keep using this to see more improvement of my scars. What do you guys think, is the improvements noticeable to you?

Stretch Marks? Saggy Loose Skin? Try This...

 I decided to buy this product even thought I have already faced the fact that no product out there can make my now 10 year old stretch marks magically disappear.... I have seen a lot of improvement in texture and depth after using this product and they are staring to look less noticeable or maybe I'm just used to seeing them. 

This however is not the reason I want to share this product with you all. My weight is always up and down, I can go from 125 to 140 in a matter of weeks, luckily I can loose it very easy too. This however is terrible for my skin as I'm loosing tone and this is no good. I have been using this product for a month now and I can really see a difference, especially on my lower back where I was really starting to notice the skin starting to sag a bit. I will definitely continue to use this and I'm trying my best to keep my weight in control (keep my grandmother away from the kitchen) as I know the older I get I might not be able to reverse the effects as easy. 

Purchased: TJ MAX 

Me decidí a comprar este producto a pesar de que ya he enfrentado al hecho de que ningún producto  puede hacer mis estrías de ya 10 años desaparecerán por arte de magia... He visto un montón de mejorias en textura y profundidad después de usar este producto, y se miran con una apariencia menos perceptible o tal vez sólo estoy acostumbrado a ver. 

Sin embargo, esto no es la razón que quiero compartir este producto con todos ustedes. Mi peso es siempre hacia arriba y hacia abajo, me puede pasar de 125 a 140 en cuestión de semanas, pero por suerte la puedo perder muy fácil también. Sin embargo, esto es terrible para mi piel como estoy perdiendo tono y no es bueno. He estado utilizando este producto desde hace un mes y yo puedo ver realmente la diferencia, sobre todo en la parte baja de la espalda donde realmente estaba empezando a notar la piel comienza a guindar un poco. Sin duda, me siguen a usar este y estoy tratando lo mejor que puedo para mantener mi peso en el control (mi abuela fuera de la cocina)  los mayor que me ponga  no va a ser tan fácil de revertir los efectos de engordar y rebajar tan rápido.

Good Luck/Buenas Suerte! Xxx

My Favorite Beauty Tip Of The Week/ Mi Tip Favorite De La Semana!

I'm about to share with you one of the most amaizing beauty tip I have ever tried. Dry Brushing is a technique for exfoliating skin using a dry, natural bristle brush to gently brush the skin. It is also called skin brushing or body brushing. This technique not only promotes healthier skin by removing dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, but also by stimulating and increasing skin cell production, giving your skin a healthy glow all year long.  But the benefits are not just skin deep - dry brushing both increases blood flow and circulation and enhances detoxification through the skin. The benefits are so amaizing and not to mention I find it so relaxing to do. I try to take some time and do it at least ever other night. Dry brushing can be done every day if you want! 

The Benefits   

• Removing dead skin cells and opening pores to allow them to “breath” and absorb nutrients. Which leaves you with skin that not only feels softer but it's also healthier. 
• Stimulated lymphatic and circulatory systems: boosting your immune system and increasing circulation to help detoxify.
• Stress relief: increasing your blood flow reduces stressed areas of the body and stimulates nerve endings in your skin which in turn rejuvenates your nervous system.
• Reduced cellulite: increasing blood circulation to the skin helps break down and releases toxins that cause cellulite in legs and hips.
• Helps tone your skin, specially after weight loss and or pregnancy. 

Who is this treatment not good for?  I would suggest that if you have severe skin irritation (acne, rash, eczema, open sore/cut, etc.) To ask you dermatologist if this is right for you. 

How To:

  I Start at my feet making long sweeps,  moving up the legs on both sides, then work from the arms toward my chest. On my stomach, I direct the brush counterclockwise, and for my back a brush sideways like towards the stomach. And, I don't brush too hard: Skin should be stimulated and invigorated but not irritated or red. I like to avoid going back and forth and scrubing too hard.   

Note: There are various suggestions on the web on how to Dry brush, but the one thing they all agree on is to always start from your feet working your way to your heart.

I hope that you guys try this out and tell me how it works for you! 

Good Luck! Xxx

Estoy a punto de compartir con ustedes uno de los trucos de belleza más increiblez que he probado. Cepillado en seco es una técnica para la piel con un exfoliante, cepillo de cerda natural seco para cepillar suavemente la piel. Esta técnica no sólo promueve una piel más sana, eliminando las células muertas de la piel en la superficie de la piel, sino también por estimular y aumentar la producción de células de la piel, dando a su piel un brillo saludable todo el año. Pero los beneficios no son sólo superficial - cepillado en seco tanto aumenta el flujo sanguíneo y la circulación y mejora la desintoxicación a través de la piel. Los beneficios son tan buenos y ni hablar de lo  relajante que es de hacer. Trato de tomar algún tiempo y hacerlo por lo menos entre noche. El cepillado en seco se puede hacer todos los días si quieres!

Los Beneficios:

• El remover las células muertas de la piel y abrir los poros para que puedan "respirar" y absorber los nutrientes. ¿Qué te deja con la piel que no sólo se siente más suave pero también es saludable.
• Estimulado sistemas linfático y circulatorio: fortalecer el sistema inmunológico y aumenta la circulación para ayudar a desintoxicar.
• Alivio del estrés: el aumento de su flujo de sangre disminuye zonas estresadas del cuerpo y estimula las terminaciones nerviosas en la piel que a su vez rejuvenece el sistema nervioso.
• Reducción de la celulitis: el aumento de la circulación sanguínea en la piel ayuda a descomponer y libera toxinas que causan la celulitis en las piernas y las caderas.
• Ayuda a tonificar la piel, especialmente después de la pérdida de peso y la o el embarazo.

¿Para quien no es bueno este tratamiebto? Yo diría que si tiene irritación severa de la piel (acné, erupciones, eczema, abierto corte dolor /, etc) para pedirle dermatólogo si éste es el adecuado para usted.

Cómo Hacer:

  Empiezo a mis pies, haciendo barridos largos, moviendo las piernas en ambos lados, entonces trabajo de los brazos hacia el pecho. En el estómago, dirijo el cepillo en sentido antihorario. Y, no se cepilla con demasiada fuerza: la piel debe ser estimulado y fortalecido, pero no irritada o enrojecida. Me gusta evitar que van y vienen y scrubing demasiado rudo. 

Nota: Hay varias sugerencias en la web sobre la manera de secar cepillo, pero lo único que todos están de acuerdo en es empezar siempre desde los pies a trabajar su camino a tu corazón.

Espero que ustedes lo prueben y me digan cómo funciona para usted!

Buenas suerte! Xxx

Get Rid Of Dark Circles With This/ Desaparece Tus Ojeras Con Esto...

If you are wondering why I haven't done any fashion posts, or makeup the reason is  I look like I haven't slept in weeks! And i kinda haven't, between home repairs, and my beautiful three year old sleeping with us every night I haven't had a beauty sleep in weeks.  Dark circles along with large pores and acne scars, is one of the most annoying things we come across as women (and even men) A super easy and effective way to remove dark circles and even lighten skin all over your face and body is using potatoes! Potatoes have catecholase which are in all of those really expensive face brighteners you buy from department stores. All you need to do is use the purree of one raw potato and apply it all over your eyes. If you are applying to your eye area make sure you don’t get any in your eyes! Leave on your face for 15 minutes before washing your face as usual! You can repeat this 3 times a week if needed! If you find you need a little moisture, try adding just a few drops of honey or Vitamin E oil. Good Luck Xxx

Si usted se está preguntando por qué no he hecho ningún look de moda, o maquillaje la razón es que me miro como no he dormido en semanas! Y la verdad es que no, entre las reparaciones del hogar, y mi hermosa niña de tres años durmiendo con nosotros todas las noches no he tenido un sueño de belleza en semanas. Los círculos oscuros junto con grandes poros y cicatrices de acné, es uno de los más molestos que nos encontramos las mujeres (y hasta hombres) UN super fácil y efectiva de eliminar los círculos oscuros e incluso aliviar piel de la cara y el cuerpo es con papas. Las papas se han catecholase que están en todos los blanqueadores cara realmente que venden en tiendas por departamento. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es utilizar el purree de una papa cruda y aplicarlo en toda sobre los ojos y rostro. Si usted está aplicando a su área del ojo asegúrate de que no caiga ninguna en tus ojos. Dejar en la cara durante 15 minutos antes de lavarse la cara como de costumbre! Puede repetir este 3 veces a la semana si es necesario. Si necesita un poco de humedad, pruebe a añadir unas pocas gotas de miel o la vitamina E.

Estrias? StretchMarks?

 Stretch marks are a nightmare, I hate them so much and I would just do about anything to make them disappear! Unfortunately there is no such thing that will remove them completely, once the skin is stretched and marked you are pretty much just going to have to deal. There are however lovely treatments that will help diminished them and make them less visible. Here I made a list of my favorite proven treatments to help fade stretch marks. 

 Las estrias son una pesadilla. las odio tanto que honestamente haria lo que fuera por desapareserlas por completo de mi cuerpo. Desafortunadamente esto no es posible, despues que la piel se estrecha hasta este punto que marca estrías ya no hay nada mas que hacer que lidiar. Lo que si hay es muchos tratamientos y tips que te pueden ayudar a que no se noten tanto y se aclaren con el tiempo. Aqui les tengo mis tips favoritos!

Tips
Exercise: This is probably the best tip I can give you, I honestly saw such an improvement from exercising. And in all honesty who's looking at stretch marks when instead they can be looking at toned abs and a sexy butt?   
                                                                       
 Ejercisios es probablemente el tip mas importante que les puedo dar. Al tonificar tu cuerpo la piel se te notara mas firme y las estrias ni seran vista     
                                                                                         
 Diet
What we eat is so important, it wont only make us feel better but it definetly helps us look our best too. Eat all your veggies and fruits and drink half you body weight in water daily and you will see a big difference in how your skin looks. 

Tu dieta es otra cosa muy importante para obtener una piel saludable. Asegurate que estas comiendo todos tus vegetales y frutas y que bebes mucha agua durante el dia. Comensaras a sentirte mejor y con el tiempo tu piel se vera espectacular también.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating and/or dry brushing removes layers of dead skin to unveil soft, fresh skin. Some marks may be difficult to reach and areas like the breasts are more sensitive, but do what you can.

Use a loofah or an exfoliator, bought or home-made -- sea salt, oatmeal, baking soda, ground coffee or apricot scrub, with a wet washcloth. Add any of them to olive oil to make a paste and then massage the stretch marks for 10 minutes in a circular motion while you are in the shower.

Or use this as your exfoliator:

5 tablespoons of scrub

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

1/2 teaspoon vitamin E

1 teaspoon cocoa butter

Rinse off afterwards.

Apply lemon juice which helps stretch marks fade. Allow it to dry, then rinse with warm water and towel dry your skin.

A derma or skin roller helps oil penetrate more deeply. If using one, use it now before you moisturize.

Exfoliante o cepillado en seco elimina capas de piel muerta para revelar piel fresca, y suave. Algunas marcas pueden ser difíciles de alcanzar y zonas como los senos son más sensibles, pero haga lo que pueda.

Use una esponja o un exfoliante, comprado o hecha en casa, sal, harina de avena, bicarbonato de sodio, café molido o albaricoque friega, con un paño húmedo. Añadir cualquiera de ellos a aceite de oliva para hacer una pasta y luego masaje las estrías durante 10 minutos en un movimiento circular mientras estás en la ducha.
O utilizarlo como tu exfoliante:
5 cucharadas de scrub
gel de aloe vera 1 cucharadita
1/2 cucharadita de vitamina E
1 cucharadita de manteca de cacao
Enjuagar luego.
Aplique jugo de limón que ayuda que la marca se desvanecen. Deje que se seque, luego enjuague con agua tibia y toalla seque la piel.

Moisturize and hydrate

The more you infuse your skin with moisture the better.

Massage any natural oil into your stretch marks. What oil you use matters less than that you regularly and vigorously massage these areas, thereby improving circulation and promoting rejuvenation.

Cocoa butter

Rose hip oil

Extra virgin olive oil

Castor oil

Emu oil

Lanolin oil

Vitamin E oil

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin K cream

Jojobo oil

Natural shea butter

Aloe vera

Masaje cualquier aceite natural en sus estrías. ¿Qué aceite utilizas importa menos que te regularmente y masaje enérgicamente estas áreas, lo que mejorará la circulación y promover el rejuvenecimiento. Estos aceite son mis favoritos que promueven la rejuvenecimiento.
Aceite de rosa mosqueta

Aceite de oliva virgen extra
Aceite de ricino
Aceite de emú
Aceite de lanolina
Aceite de vitamina E
Vitamina A
Vitamina C
Crema de vitamina K
Aceite de Jojobo
Manteca natural de karité
Aloe vera

My Favorite Combination Of Oils

Mix almond oil, castor oil, avocado oil and vitamin E oil together.

Combine vitamin E oil and cocoa butter.

Make a paste of vitamin E rich oil such as olive oil or castor oil with aromatic herbs like mint, lemon grass, lavender, thyme, and massage for 20 minutes before going to sleep.

Bio Oil is great.

Mezclar aceite de almendras, aceite de ricino, aceite de aguacate y vitamina E aceite.

Combine aceite de vitamina E y manteca de cacao.
Haga una pasta de vitamina E de aceite rico como aceite de oliva o aceite de ricino con hierbas aromáticas como la menta, hierba de limón, lavanda, tomillo y masaje durante 20 minutos antes de ir a dormir.
Bio Oil es fantastico.

I hope that these tips were helpful for you, in the meantime learn to live with them. Being proud of your body, stretch marks and all, is a very appealing quality. 

Espero que estos tips los allan ayudado, mientras tanto aprendan a vivir con sus estrias. Estar orgulloso de su cuerpo es halgo que lo hara lucir mas bello.

Drugstore Find: Bio Oil

 Stretch marks suck!! I started getting them around my hips when I was only 14 and I remember then freaking out but not really doing anything about it. Stretch marks occurs when you gain or loose weight rapidly, pregnancy or even hereditary. There are no know treatments that can remove them completely but the sooner you treat the better your chances are to make them less noticeable. So after noticing some lines on my chest (yup, stretch marks), I decided I had to do something about them. So in my search for a treatment, I started using Bio Oil in the mornings and at night after I showered—I literally lather it on and my skin has never looked more even toned and beautiful. So yes, I now go through a bottle a month at least, but I found it really helped fight my stretch marks (if they’re still there, I can’t see them anymore!), of course, I would recommend it on new stretch marks and immediately once you see them forming the older ones are still very much noticeable :( Definitely a product every woman, pregnant or not, should invest in! Your skin will be so even and beautiful, you will love the way it looks! Good Luck Xxx
