I have started using Arbonne I am not a make up person, or even a take-care-of-my-face-person    My big splurge when I went to the hospital to have a baby was a bar of Dove soap!
But, I started using Arbonne & noticed a huge difference in my skin. It was softer & smoother

They have a great anti aging line. It was listed in Oxygen Magazine as an alternative to plastic surgery!

Let me tell you what I have learned since starting Arbonne. Mineral Oil is in 98% of our skin care. It is refined crude oil & is cheap, thus the popularity. It can also mimick estrogen and is the 2nd leading cause of aging next to the sun. The 2nd second most common ingredient thought to be in our skin care is animal by product...yuck

You can only purchase through independent consultants so pm me if you'd like more info.

Has anyone seen those creams that claim to decrease dark circles under eyes? There is supposed to be something natural in them to slowly make it better. Has anyone had luck with those? I'm thinking its vitamin C, but I can't remember. . .


i use a reflecting makeup to get rid of dark circles. it's Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, Radiant Touch Stick. i love that stuff. it's pricey, $40 a tube, but the tube lasts forever even when you use it every day.

oopps! I forgot to mention in my post that Arbonne does not have any mineral oil or animal by-products. It is a botanically based skin care line.

That's what I get for posting at 11 o'clock at night

Meredith,
I received a facial as a gift last year. When I finally went and cashed in just before it expired in the spring, the spa used dermatologica products. I had welts the size of quarters all over my face by the time I got home. I felt so sick that I just went to bed. When I got up, the welts were worse. I called the spa and they very nonchalantly said, "Oh, you, must have reacted to something."

Apparently so.

I know she exfoliated and I did see the difference (before the welts). I had been using a sugar crbu with essential oils to exfoliate. This got off a whole layer of skin the sugar didn't. But I can't deal with that kind of reaction...

I was too pregnant-nauseous-tired to go in there and investigate further.
Is this a rare occurrence?

Sorry so late on this I'm just now receiving all these emails, something weird happened here fors sure ELizabeth. I never had anything like this happen in my 10+ years in the salon. It's possible there was a chemical imbalance due to the pregnancy, but I would find that VERY rare. I'm really sorry you got that reaction from the staff as well, as In my mind it wasn't very professional considering you'd had such an adverse reaction. If I get to visit you, I'll treat you to one myself!!
