Chocolate + Massage = Love

Did you know that  the scent of chocolate triggers the release of chemicals in the brain that produce a similar feeling as when one first falls in love. In addition to being a sensory indulgence, chocolate contains over 300 different compounds some of which can have a significant impact on one’s health and beauty.

FedEx came with a surprise this morning…Keyano Aromatics Chocolate Massage Oil. I couldn’t help myself and had to immediately open the bottle to smell. I’m a big fan of the Keyano Chocolate Butter Cream, and just knew that this little beauty would delight my senses as well. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner this would be the perfect treat for yourself or someone you love.



The only question you would have to ask yourself is what would go better after the massage… a glass of champagne or a cold glass of milk.

Eating Your Way To A Tan

I think I got my love for orange vegetables from when I was a baby. Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, if it’s orange I would eat it.   To this day, I can go through a half gallon of carrot juice in about three days and can pretty  much put away a bag of baby carrots in one meal. I often times notice when I’m eating my vegetables that I can develop a tan. My drivers license is proof that you can get a tan through what you eat. My picture looks like I was in Aruba for a week, and really it was the middle of December in Georgia. Not exactly tanning weather.  So how this works is that skin color is produced by one of two skin pigments: melanin or beta carotene. Your skin’s melanin content is partly determined by your genes, but it also increases with sun exposure. When you eat a lot of carotenoid-rich produce  those excess carotenoids are stored in the fat just beneath your skin, where their pigments peek through and give you a healthy glow that mimics a tan. Foods with lots of beta carotene include carrots,sweet potatoes, butternut squash, cantaloupe, and some green leafy veggies. So as the spring season quickly approaches us in the next few weeks, remember to get your tan the safe and healthy way. So eat your vegetables! XOXO, Tara

CIRCULATION

This has everything to do with your skin’s health and it is substantially overlooked by the skincare community. All the skin’s food, immune support, antioxidant and remodeling efforts all come from the blood supply. Every time you are stressed, you drink coffee or go outside in cold weather, your skin suffers a little because all of these things restrict bloodflow to the dermis. Vitamin K, horse chestnut and caffeine in skincare products are all designed to reduce bloodflow. There is no skin condition (Rosacea, Dark Circles, etc) that is better off with less blood flow. That is why the utilization of Retinaldehyde, Niacinamide, Camphor, and other circulation enhancing ingredients makes such a big difference in the quality and health of the skin. Bags under the eyes are the result of vasoconstriction (reduced blood flow and the correlation between loss of blood supply and the thinning of the dermis with age are more than a coincidence. Remember, it is a thinning dermis that is the primary cause of visible capillaries. The reason capillaries return after treatment is because the skin wants adequate blood supply in the area. The best way to reduce this is to build back the collagen/elastin (in the dermis) that covers these vessels.
