Get StyLynne: Give it a try- Spring Things

Recommended-
I've been using the NUFACE Line Smoothing Device for several months now and believe I am noticing a difference. It is a microcurrent device that targets fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, forehead and nasolabial folds while firming, tightening and smoothing the skin. I read Jennifer Anniston got microcurrent facials so I looked into it.My esthetician used to use a microcurrent device on me during my facials,but since Covid, I've been unable to keep that up. When Nordstrom had this on sale,I decided to take matters into my own hands and I do think it's working. The microcurrent ( though not as strong as you would get in a providers's office) helps to stimulate collagen production. There is a full face toning device, but I have been using this one on my cheeks and neck also.The key is regular use for 5-10 minutes once or twice a day. The serum and primers that come with are effective for max results.

You can find the devices and serums and primers at Nordstrom, Dermstore- 20% off now, Sephora and Amazon.

Are you aware there are a plethora of places/sites to find skin care besides Sephora and the department stores?

I have found so many legitimate sites when searching for a specific product or products with special ingredients.Many of these have great prices or regularly discount well known and lesser known skincare and makeup,including the cosmeceutical lines ( Skinceuticals, SkinMedica, Obagi,etc) They also have terrific info on effective ingredients for your specific needs and the latest buzzy products and devices. The blogs on Dermstore and LovelySkin's sites are always informative. Follain is good for the latest in "clean beauty" ( but you know when it comes to the best choices for clean and safe beauty products, I recommend BeautyCounter first - http://www.beautycounter.com/juliemorales1 )*

Shampoo & Hair Tips

If you've known me for awhile, it may seem funny that I am offering advice here. I only wash my hair once a week. I am blessed with a lot of hair with lots of body that doesn't get oily and I am lazy about styling it. I have a few tips that have worked for me that a friend thought I should share. Take your regular hairbrush into the shower with you ( after cleaning out the hair) periodically and give it a wash while you are doing your hair. Easier than trying to wash it alone every week or so and will keep your hair cleaner,too. After shampooing and conditioning,I wrap my hair in an old cotton t-shirt twisted into a turban.The smooth T helps keep it from frizzing when drying and absorbs water unlike a fluffy towel. A husband/man-size T works best. I hate sleeping with my hair around my face so I put it up in a loose pony tail on top of my head and in the morning my hair comes down full and pretty styled. A silk or satin pillowcase helps also.

Spring Color

Now that so many of us are vaccinated, maybe you are thinking about getting out of the sweats and tights actually putting on real clothes ( less Zoom, more reality?) and maybe even going shopping!?!! Spring/Summer color trends are uplifting and fun to match our hopeful moods. Look for shades of yellow, baby doll pink, mint and lime green, cerulean, royal and navy blues, rusty orange, white on white and silver ( in evening wear and accessories) Adding something new to your wardrobe in one of these uplifting colors can be mood- lifting, cautiously in a shoe or bag or boldly in a dress or pant. For a little retail therapy, I encourage you to let me show you Etcetera's wonderful new collection.

Florals and Tie -Dye are Sticking Around

No doubt you have seen tie-dye making a come back during Covid in everything from pj's and loungewear to tops and bottoms and dresses, too. This '70's trend is still hot this summer.

Mansur Gavriel even uses it on summer bags ( above), It's playful design variations are a bit of fun during still uncertain times, It also appeals to men and women, teens and kids alike.

Flowy maxi dresses are bigger than ever. Thanks,in part, to all the comfy,easy dressing we did during the height of the pandemic staying home. Light fabrics and pretty floral prints in a maxi dress make you feel a little dressed up and a lot of ease in going out again.
