<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The importance of a skincare routine. &nbsp;I have come to believe that people think that their cleansers and moisturizers are magical. &nbsp;This is far from the truth!!! &nbsp;A customer came in the other day and complained about her moisturizer not working, but she doesn't exfoliate AT ALL. It doesn't work that way. &nbsp;You need to pay attention daily to the needs of your skin. &nbsp;These needs can change daily.</p>
<p>You have spent gobs of money on very important ingredients for yourself. &nbsp;Some of you spend more than $250.00 on moisturizing routines. &nbsp;</p>
<p>For most of you this is going on top of dry, dead skin. &nbsp;I'm sorry to say that. The epidermis(the outermost layers of cells compacted upon each other) is the boundary between our living cells and the external environment. &nbsp;This layer must be kept healthy and smooth which is not accomplished by a moisturizer alone, but by your exfoliation(very gentle) and cleansing routine along with diet, water intake, exercise, etc.</p>
<p>Reviderm Skintelligence is definitely intelligent in the way you care for your skin day to day. &nbsp;Cleansing gently, but thoroughly. &nbsp;Exfoliating gently, but thoroughly. &nbsp;Exercising your skin with a cinnamon-based mask, and using serums to deeply work on issues that you have with your skin. &nbsp;THEN, and only then, comes the moisturizer. &nbsp;AND, then........it will work!!!!!!!!! &nbsp;If you stop in, I will gladly give you samples to try out a real plan for younger and healthier skin. &nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-15447479.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>A Kiss from Che Sguardo/makeupstudio</title><dc:creator>chesguardo</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:23:16 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/2012/2/9/a-kiss-from-che-sguardomakeupstudio.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">528358:6050976:14964852</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>The Kissing Kit</p>

<p>A powder puff is one of the finest tools of make-up application. &nbsp;Sprinkle a little loose powder into the puff, and then rub the powder into the puff. &nbsp;When you have folded the powder into the puff correctly, you won't be able to have any powder leave the puff when turned upside down. &nbsp;Apply loose powder to the face in a kneading or rolling motion around the entire face and neck area(don't forget the ears). Remove the excess powder with a powder brush. &nbsp;And there you have a very natural matte finish to your face. &nbsp;Men can use this tip also as you don't look as if you have powder on at all, just a matte look to the skin.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-12504889.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Tangerines and Peaches</title><dc:creator>chesguardo</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:36:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/2011/3/17/tangerines-and-peaches.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">528358:6050976:10830050</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>I'm just saying that we have the best array of tangerine to peaches and apricots for the summer. &nbsp;Lips in beautiful tones to compliment the sun's passionate warmth. &nbsp;Stop in, and I'll make you some samples to take with and try at your home.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-10830050.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Alzheimer's Association upcoming benefit</title><category>Alzheimers Association benefit</category><dc:creator>chesguardo</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 28 Dec 2010 15:13:25 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.chesguardo.com/blog/2010/12/28/alzheimers-association-upcoming-benefit.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">528358:6050976:6842040</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>My family is a long-time supporter of the <a href="http://www.alz.org/index.asp" target="_blank">Alzheimer's Association</a> in Chicago.&nbsp; They are working hard to help the rising number of people suffering from this dreadful disease.&nbsp; I encourage everyone to help any way possible with a <a href="http://www.alz.org/join_the_cause_donate.asp" target="_blank">donation</a> or perhaps attend their annual benefit.
