Somme Institute Face Regimen


Somme Institute
Twice-Daily Face Regimen


The Somme Institute has been creating and testing what works best for your face for over six years. They created and patented a skin technology they call MDT5 which they use in their products to produce amazing results. They have come up with six amazing products to help improve, rejuvenate, restore and nourish your face. The first step is a nourishing cleanser. This cleanser is gentle, non-foaming, and does not dry out your skin after use. Next, use the non-abrasive Transport pads. They exfoliate without being harsh. The first time I used it, my skin burned a little in certain spots. That feeling did not last long, and did not happen more than a few times. It unclogs pores and re hydrates the skin at the same time. After the Transport pads, you must apply the thick and rich serum. This lovely little bottle contains lots of vitamin C to boost collagen levels, eliminate brown spots and redness, and smooth fine lines. My face felt better after the first three steps, but of course there is more. The A-Bomb is a very lightweight, lemony smelling cream that I looked forward to putting on my face every day. It is fortified with vitamins to target problem areas of your face and neck. After nourishing, cleaning, and re hydrating your skin, it is time for defense. The next step is a Double Defense Day Moisturizer. This face lotion is waterproof and provides protection against the sun (SPF 30+). It can be used alone throughout the day if needed. Finally, there is EYE. EYE is a moisturizing cream designed to reduce dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eye. I can honestly say that after using these products for a couple of weeks, my skin looks and feels better. The redness and puffiness has been minimalized. I know it seems like a lot to do, but once you start using it, you won't want to stop. I can't believe how clear and fresh my skin looks. My suggestion would be to get the "mobile" kit. Great packaging makes it convenient to take along with you on vacation or to the gym.

EO Bubble Bath

Nighty Night
Blue Chamomile & Lavender

Ever have a stressful day and just want to go to sleep, but know that your mind will be reeling? Try a foamy bath in EO's Nighty Nite Bubble Bath. I am not even joking when I say the calming smell will make you ready for bed. Not too long ago, I had a pretty stressful week and just needed to relax and get a good night's sleep. I decided to fill my bathtub with the blue chamomile & lavender smell of EO. The aroma filled my bathroom in the best way possible. After soaking in the bathtub for a bit, I got out and instantly fell into the most wonderful slumber. I have used it a couple if times since then, and every time it seems to have the same calming, relaxing effect on me. The other great part is that my skin felt smooth and soft after using this product. Try it and I promise you'll feel better in an instant.

Cranberry Moro Orange

This scrub has the most WONDERFUL cranberry orange smell! It isn't harsh, but exfoliates well. My feet, knees and elbows felt softer and smoother after just a few uses. Exfoliates, nourishes, moisturizes, and smells great. What more could you want in a shower scrub?

Patyka 100% Organic Shea Butter


All Shea Butter!
Organic to boot.
Very nice, but it took me a few minutes to figure it out.
Little tub of solid Shea Butter, you need to scrape some out, then it melts in your hand & is ever-so softening!
I really like it for my legs!

Patyka Shower Scrub



Lime
Excellent, gentle scrub.
Didn't feel like using it was punishment, but left skin soft & glowy!
Even de-scaled my elbows.
The Lime smell is outstanding.
Real lime, not overpowering.

3 LAB Perfect Mask

This mask promises to lift, firm, and brighten your skin, and it does just that. I found the process a bit uncomforatble though. You unfold the mask and lay it on your face then pat until centered. Easy enough, but its a bit heavy and unless you can lay still for 10 minutes it slips down quite a bit. I personally have to work these things in to my busy day so I would have prefered using a mask that allows me to go about my tasks. This mask made that dificult. On the upside, my skin did feel great after, and had a nice healthy glow.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar

Click Here

The color is a purple-brown. Glides on smooth and stays creamy for a just a bit then dries and totally stays put. I usually get that line on my eyelid mimicking the liner but NEVER when I wear this. This is a great eye pencil. And it's waterproof. So lovely!

Color: Ransom
I agree! Glides on smoothly without a lot of effort. Ransom is a lovely shade of purple. Dark enough not to be too obvious. Love the fact that it is waterproof!
