Skincare Tip of the Day: Cold Season R&R
Everywhere we turn lately there seems to be someone with a case of the sniffles. And … while SIRCUIT® can’t help you avoid those nasty cold & flu viruses that are in abundance this time of year, we can at least help to make them a bit more bearable with today’s skincare tip of the day.
Skincare Tip of the Day: To prevent the dry, red, flaky skin around your nose that inevitably follows a runny nose, apply a protective barrier balm, such as Sircurity™ to the delicate skin around your nose.
Applying a thin layer of Sircurity™ l repair and recovery balm at the first sniffle (use a cotton swab to avoid contamination), will help to:
- Relieve dryness, discomfort, and irritation
- Suppress inflammation & promote healing
- Calm redness and soothe irritation
- Hydrate and prevent peeling, chapped skin
As an added bonus, Sircurity™ contains Pau D’Arco & Gotu Kola, which provide anti-viral & anti-microbial properties (LOVE that)!! Just remember … apply immediately, and re-apply often for best results.

The Secret To Avoiding Puffy Eyes
Have you ever slathered on eye cream, hoping for an overnight miracle for those pesky under-eye bags, only to wake up to puffy, irritated eyes?
Well … you’re not alone. Luckily for us The Beauty Department.com’s resident skincare expert, Amy Nadine, has the “Eye Cream Secret”.
Here’s a hint - it’s ALL in the application!!
The secret? “Just apply it 1/2 inch or so above your upper lashline and below your lower lashline, then while you’re sleeping, it will travel on its own and stop right around your crow’s feet, where you wanted it in the first place! Be sure to use your ring finger to apply it (it’s your weakest finger so you won’t pull too hard) and after making the dots, gently pat them in.”

Skincare Tip of the Day: Fight Fine Lines
You may think that your crow’s-feet are from too much sun, but it’s squinting—not just UV rays—that are to blame.
Women with lighter-colored eyes are even more prone to getting lines around their eyes because of their heightened light sensitivity.
Skincare Tip of the Day: Even if you’re a brown-eyed girl, ALWAYS wear sunglasses with UV protection to fight fine lines!!
If You Want Stunning Skin – Go Back to Bed!!
As featured on The Daily Basics fabulous lifestyle blog!!
Sleep
When our body is healthy, it tells us what we need to keep it healthy. Sometimes we get a headache because our body is dehydrated and requires water. When we yawn it is because our brain detects too much carbon dioxide buildup in the lungs, and wants us to expel it (that’s one theory anyway). Sleep is what our skin tells the body it needs to repair itself and thrive.
Our bodies are absolutely amazing!
All day long your body is working—fighting the elements so that your systems work optimally. In terms of cellular repair/renewal, the process is ongoing. However, your skin cells may not be getting the full attention they need during the day because other parts of your body may have a more urgent need for cellular attention. If you stub your toe, your body will send all repair signals to the toe, not your facial skin.
Sleep is the great equalizer
When we are asleep, there is little chance of us doing any harm to our bodies, so the cells are able to rest repair, and drink in the beneficial ingredients that you apply topically. Sleep allows your body to treat all systems equally and the result is repaired damage, and happier skin.
Making the most of bedtime for your skin
• Drink a full glass of water just before going to bed.
• Go to bed the same time every night.
• Cleanse, tone, and apply a hydrating serum or moisturizer.
• Give yourself a light facial massage just after turning out the light.
Pillow talk
The buildup of contaminants, oils, and dead skin cells on your pillowcase would amaze/repulse you. To avoid having these elements touch your skin, put two or three pillowcases on each pillow and only sleep on one side per night, then flip. Once both sides have been used, remove the top pillowcase and repeat.
Sleep is the only skin care ingredient that guarantees to work at a cellular level—and that’s where results come from!
