Sunburn:
1. Chill your aloe Vera, or anti-inflammatory moisturizer or cream in the refrigerator for an hour before you apply it on your skin.  The sheer coolness will help again the sensation of burning and will help to calm redness and inflammation with the active are working to help repair skin (Chill any BORBA SPF for further sun protection post sun exposure).
2. Keep skin hydrated.  A mobile atomizer is a welcome skin quencher.  Continuously spritzing or misting the skin will allow it to absorb and help lock in the moisture to re-balance itself. (BORBA atomizer)
3. Stay out of extreme temperatures.  By going into a super refrigerated environment after a sunburn could potentially shock skin.  Ease skin to a comfortable temperature with gradual steps.  Cold compresses are a wonderful relive to high temperature skin.

Sun block:
1. Since we’re on the run all the time, use a physical block like TD or Zink.  They work immediately with contact to the skin so you don’t have to wait before you head to the car or to the beach. (any BORBA SPF)

Look for a tri-spectum product that incorporates full spectrum (UVA, UVB) and UVC – for carbon protection from the ozone and environmental factors (Like the Advanced Aging SPF 45 and Hand Cream SPF 25) to help fight against burning and again rays all in one step.  Be certain that use a product that has mattifying ingredients to keep skin looking healthy and not greasy (BORBA Clarifying cotton)

Yes you can chill and take wafers and place on puffy eyes, but that is not the main benefit you will obtain when harnessing  this magical veggie for it’s beauty benefits. 

Step 1.  Peel the outer skin the cucumber.  Just like a band-aid, identify your deepest wrinkles and dab some honey on that area and layer on top the sin sliver.  Allow about 10 minutes for the plumping effect. 

Step 2.  In the morning, Puree the remaining cucumber and add its supper anti-inflammatory benefits to a glass of fiber water (flavored or unflavored).  Continue to drink water throughout the day.  Stop hydrating one hour prior to putting on your gown.  You’re body at that time will loose the stomach bloat, whiten the eyes so your beautiful natural color will pop and you will look healthy without the redness (the whiter the eyes the better the picture).

If you can do this for a whole week, even better.

The natural Vitamin C in this highly acidic acid would rival a professional Lactic acid treatment in my own private celebrity clinic.  I love this one because it is so simple yet you will have the look of 12 glycolic treatments without any down time.  It will also even out skin tone, minimize enlarged pores and blotchiness so your make up will look more natural.

Only one step. 
Roll massage 4 room temperature lemons (that will provide you will the extract intensity needed to provide you will a major benefit with one application).  Cut in half and Squeeze without straining (keeping the pulp) in a small bowl or measuring cup.  Mix one foil packet of liquid pectin (you can pick up at any grocery store in the gelatin isle).  Apply liberally to your entire face, neck , décolleté and back of hands.  Anything exposed to the camera.   You will know when to take it off when you skin starts to tingle (or no more than 5 minutes).

 The pectin will plump up the skin, smooth out skin texture while the lemon with brighten, increase radiance and even out skin tone.  Glowing skin guaranteed!

If you're looking to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, there are a few tried and true items that you can use to help the process along. Look for products that contain coco butter for lighter lines, or Retin-A for darker lines. You may also try Dermabrasion or use HD Illuminating Plasma Crystals to remove color discoloration.

Retinal, in general goes deeper and really slofs off skin.  A darker line is usually a deeper line (most women see them as darker and not deeper).  Use a recovery crème (like mine) on top of the retinal as you want to minimize skin irritation while it helps repair the look and depth of the line.  Natural mineral exfoliators, line diamonds when they are tumbled (like a rock) otherwise spherical beads will dislodge debris and dirt without staying in the pore.  They roll in and out easily.  They are not jagged like apricot seed, olive or walnut husks which can micro-cut your skin and possibly leave debris on skin even after you rinse with water.
