How Feng Shui Colors Can Benefit Us

Feng Shui And Colour Psychology – Discovering The Meanings Of Colours

896936d74d253a8a9ff8ff7fb84ce4f6

 

Everyone appreciates the benefits of beautiful, comfortable living environments;  However, Feng Shui takes the approach that your surroundings affect not just your level of material comfort but also your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your worldly success.

Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) examines how the placement of things and objects within it affect the energy flow in your living environment, and how these objects interact with and influence your personal energy flow. Your personal energy flow affects how you think and act, which in turn affects how well you perform and succeed in your personal and professional life. Feng Shui affects you every moment of the day — whether you’re aware of it or not.

As you begin to discover more about Feng Shui, remember that you need to have an open mind and should use the methods that are most comfortable for your particular circumstances.

If you don’t know much about Feng Shui – learning about the Colours in Feng Shui is a good place to start.Screen-Shot-2012-03-27-at-4.44.48-PM-300x271

Colour is used as the basis for many theories and Feng Shui, colours affect the energy of rooms, your habitat and your clothes.  Colours are one of the most essential and significant features of Feng Shui.

 

 

red-color-fashion-summer-2015-betolli

RED – Fame – Reputation – Red Fire – it is no surprise that in the colours of Feng Shui, Red is one of the most important colours – it is a symbol of joy, fun and happiness, the colour of active action!  Red has a fairly strong influence on the human body – as the spiritual and the physical realm.

Red is intense, represents the element of fire and is considered lucky.  It is bold and daring. It should be avoided by people who are anxious or overactive and is certainly not a good colour in the bedroom for insomniacs.  RED – a symbol of passion, the personification of courage, power, beauty and brightness. Red is the ideal colour if you wish to draw attention, but avoid red if you are nervous or self-conscious – just add a little as an accessory – don’t overdo it. When wearing red – make sure it is “Your Personal Red” from your Colour by Dezine® Personal Colour Palette.

PINK – Marriage – Love – Relationships – Pink Earth  The colour of sensitivity, of renovation, renewal.  In the perception of some people, the colour Pink becomes a negative, sickly sweet.  In Feng Shui pink is the colour of little girls, symbolizing their future tenderness and femininity, the ability to love.  Pink has the ability to neutralize or completely inhibit aggression.  Pink is the colour of Romance and fun.  Wear Pink if you want to resolve a situation with a loved one, because it is soothing and helps dissolve feelings of anger.

WHITE – Children – Creativity – White – Metal – White is universal and is good for almost all people in varying degrees – pure white and Winter white for Winter Season ladies – Winter white for Summers,  Cream for Springs, and more yellow cream for Autumn,  White colour does not cause rejection.  In many cultures white is a symbol of goodness, justice, purity, perfection and peace.

c64a7dd397151352eded8d4a02b14867

GREY –  Helpful – People Travel – Silver/Grey Heaven – The colour of prudence, practicality, and mistrust.  In principle, it is a neutral colour and shall not be a big symbolic load.  This is – the colour of people who prefer not to stand out from the crowd,  not assert themselves too loudly and always stay in the shade.  When wearing Grey – make sure you dress it up with one of your best colours.

 

add292a1c749bb65f1dd4ff44d6b3e7f

 

 

BLACK –  Career – Life Path – Black Water – Conveys authority and power and promotes a sense of depth and strength wear Black if you need to command leadership or exude mystery.  Black makes you stand apart from the crowd, so avoid wearing it when you need to be seen as an equal.  Black is only flattering on the Winter season.

 

 

navy-blue-fashion-trends-betolli

BLUE –  Knowledge – Wisdom – Blue Mountain – Has the ability to balance, and calm the raging emotions.   This colour acts as a cold shower, sobering and making focus.  Shades of blue cannot be called playful.  They set up a working mood.  This is why the blues are preferable to those premises that are intended for official meetings or serious work. Blue is the most popular colour – so be sure to wear your Personal Blue from your Palette to achieve the best results.

GREEN – Family – Green – Wood – Symbolizes nature and life itself.  It is usually preferred by people who are not inclined to others’ influence, they are proud and ambitious.  Green may be a symbol of healing.  According to the theory of Feng Shui, green is the symbol of peace, cooperation and numerous progeny.   Green has a calming effect on the person, recovers mental and physical balance, increasing self-confidence and abilities.  Be sure to use the correct tone of green from your Colour by Dezine® Personal Palette.

de0a02163d7964f6ad622a8651c82595

 

 

PURPLE –  Wealth-  Prosperity – Purple – Wind – In the most ancient times it was considered a symbol of power, authority and power. Despite the fact that the purple colour has a lot to do with red, their impact is different.  Purple is associated with royalty and luxury.  Wear purple clothes or accessories when you are in the midst of transition, want to attract new opportunities, or are in a spiritual setting.

 

 

5ee0a07d38239c4eb185dfe9006b263e6fa6a5e2e6b98a482e0da44de700822eYELLOW – Health – Yellow Earth   The colour of the sun, it corresponds to the notions of a positive start and a good mood.  Yellow is also a symbol of peace.  In the system of Feng Shui yellow is a symbol of happiness, joy and inner harmony.  The yellow colour is associated with mental activity and is essential for the implementation of the thought process and success in intellectual fields.  In addition, has the ability to inspire optimism in people and good spirits.  Be sure to choose the correct shade of  Yellow from your Colour by Dezine® Personal Palette

Does Your Colour Season Change As You Age?

Does Your Colour Season Change As You Age?

How does your Season/Colours change as you age? 

What happens when your hair goes grey?

What happens as your skin becomes lighter? 

Do you start out as one Season and then change?

Can you Change from this Summer Palette  …. to the opposite Winter Palette?

3c586f3cb0c18deaa44596365572589cb9abe7a011ce4ea5716d5ddfe23895e9 (1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or this Spring Palette…. to the opposite Autumn Palette?

7e4d02c2407c63f4ed4b46983dc58540f180d0c7d33fc5a869bb84cc5bc28fd1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The answer is NO.

 

The Skin undertone and Season you were born with is the one you will always have.  The only issue would be if you had been incorrectly analyised in the first place.   As colour analysis has evolved over the past twenty plus years or so  – you may have been analyised,  because of the limitations of the system/process at the time of your original analysis, incorrectly.   This does not mean your season has changed – it just that the new systems are far more advanced  in making a correct analysis.

banner-2015-2-web miniWith Colour by Dezine® you cannot be a mixture of two seasons – your colours are selected according to your personal SKIN, HAIR AND EYE COLOUR – this is what makes our system unique – Your personal palette of Colours is prepared personally for you!  No Pre-made palettes – we have over 15,000 possible combinations of palettes in our system.

Changing your colour preferences  (through the years) is normal – as sometimes as we age we may feel the need to leave certain (usually the brighter and darker) colours behind us, and stick with the softer colours in our personal palette. However, you can still use these brighter and darker colours for “Accents” to great effect!  Just because you are getting a little older it is definitely not necessary to abandon your favorite Brights and Darks in your palette !

However, having said that … it is a fact that our skin tone does change as we age, but it does not change our season.  Using the softer colours close to your skin will certainly flatter.  As we age the level of contrast in our skintone, the softening of hair colour – with the reduction of pigmentation or going grey, and the depth of colour in our eyes and lips, does come into play.

With your Hair colour – be sure to lighten as you age – if you were very dark originally and now are going grey but wish to colour your hair do make sure you colour to a medium blonde to light brown. Winters and Summers can look stunning with Grey/White hair!   With Warms (Spring and Autumns) will look younger if they keep their hair in with warm tones rather than going grey.

Need guidance? – the best way to be certain is to visit your consultant and have your colours reassessed – but there is no reason to abandon your favorites.

How Colour Affects Our How Lives

How Colour Affects Our How Lives

Welcome To The Wonderful World of Colour

You probably know that colour is the first thing we meet someone for the first time. But did you realise that we also make virtually instant judgments about a person’s status from the colours they are wearing? For instance, in medieval times, the lower classes weren’t allowed to wear the colours of the upper classes, or they were fined, sometimes up to a half year’s wages! The lower class had to wear the colours of the earth – brown and green tones, that came from dyeing cloth with things that were immediately to hand and were cheap – grass, soil even dung!

The most expensive dyes were brand-new colours at the time, mainly purple and red. These colours were kept for royalty and the bigwigs in the church. Just at one glance and everyone will know instantly they are in the presence of the massively powerful individual.

This instant recognition of status still happens today – every single one of us makes judgments about other people based on what they’re wearing – how they present themselves.

What We Wear and Why – Is Totally Fascinating

Have you ever wondered why Colour is so important? Image a world without colour – colour impacts our personal and business lives – colour enriches our lives -Why? Colour is light reflected, without light, there will be no colour. Colour communicates subconsciously. Do we sometimes take this powerful tool for granted?

Colour is a powerful tool; it is in our food, clothing and environment and is used constantly in advertising. The Psychology of Colour can really assist you in many ways – Colour can help you in communication with others – you have a powerful asset to use consciously.

Colour and Style is everything! How you present yourself is a very important part of who you are. Your first impression is vital to you and how you communicate with others. When you move into a room of strangers, they are judging you as much as you are judging them. Before you have even spoken a word to them, haven’t you reached a certain conclusions about them? How do you use colour, tone and intensity personally and in your business? There are no good or bad colours – colours can be used positively or negatively. The Psychology of colour is a universal language.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOUR –

RED: High-impact colour. Good for lecturing and selling – must be your right RED – Stimulates the appetite – Makes food more aromatic – Cherry Red – Sophisticated, Authority, Power, Energy

ORANGE: Yellow red – Warmth – stimulating – friendly – Career colour – Draws attention quickly – saying this product is for everyone.

PURPLE: Mystery – formality – quietness – Artistic people are drawn to purple.

PURPLE BLUE: Tranquility – Spiritual – Reflective – Dignified

BLUE: Peace – Loyalty – restraint – gentleness – serenity – Good Communication colour – Opens up a line of communication – The brain secretes tranquillity hormones when blue is present.

BLUE / GREEN: Fresh colour of nature – Relaxed and friendly – Colour of balance and healing.

GREEN: Nature’s colour – people usually feel safe around green – plants.

YELLOW GREEN: Intense – cheerful – energetic – sporty – youthful and spontaneous

YELLOW: Eye-catching – MUST BE YOUR RIGHT YELLOW Stimulating – intellectual – happiness – lightest colour in the spectrum – Selling a house – yellow

GREY: Conservative – dignified – classic corporate colour

NAVY: Conservative – authoritative – business-like – most acceptable corporate colour.

WHITE: Trustworthy – goodness and purity

BROWN: Earthy – natural and warm

BLACK: Authoritative – mysterious – sophisticated – Black cuts down communication – so please add colour♥

I can certainly attest to this I have two lovely fur babies – Bichon Frise puppies both females, a mother and daughter.  Bella (left) the mother had 6 puppies and Cindy (Right) was the pick of the litter …. the one with the most spunk who jumped out of the pen first!  Who could resist these two beautiful puppies, so gentle in nature, well trained and do not bark unless you knock hard on the front door!  Use the bell and there is no problem.  Do not shed fur, they have wool, not fur.  They make you go for regular walks, love unconditionally and require lots of cuddles… which is extremely calming to you.  By the way, I strongly recommend you have two pets they are great company for each other – our two are always cuddled up together – check out below for more added benefits.

The Top Colours You Need In Your Wardrobe

 

rsz_cbd_spring__winter_v2

When planning your wardrobe, Colour is the most important aspect to consider, to ensure you are choosing the colours that are going to compliment your own Personal Colouring.  We have prepared your Top Wardrobe Colours for you. Plus, when you have the formula correct you will find that everything coordinates beautifully – I find when I purchase something new (from colours in my personal Colour by Dezine Colour palette), when I get home I find – Wow – it goes with so many things in my wardrobe because the correct basics are there!

download-copyYOUR  PERSONAL SKIN COLOUR –  What is your undertone?  Are you a Warm or a Cool??The advantage of knowing what colours look best on you and what shades of makeup you can wear to enhance your own natural colour direction, choosing the right colours for your Skin Tone is an important part of the beauty process.   Wearing the wrong tones in clothing or makeup can make even the     healthiest skin look unwell.

COOL – you have a pinkish cast to your skin and lips.  Your veins are more blue and green, and pronounced on your inner wrist.  Because you are a Cool your makeup and Clothes colours need to be Blue based.
WARM –  you have a Yellow greenish cast to your skin.  Your veins are more Green than Blue on your inner wrist and they are deeper under the skin.  You tend to freckle in the sun.  Because you are Warm based your colours in makeup and clothes need to be Yellow based.

banner2-discover-your-colours-largeCheck out our exciting “Discover your Colours” Free On line Colour analysis App – this will assist you in determining your Skin tone and your Season

download-copy-2 YOUR PERSONAL HAIR COLOUR  Your Personal Colour Season is determined by your “Natural Hair Colour”  What was your hair colour as a teenager?
This is an important factor in determining your season. “Natural” means the colour of your hair when you were young – not what colour it is if it’s been artificially enhanced – colouring your hair does not change your season. When colouring, always stay within your seasonal palette for hair colours. Many make the mistake of putting Golden highlights in Cool hair colour, or ash into Warm hair colour. Also remember, as we age it is advisable to colour our hair lighter – not darker.

Be sure to Not to Add “Warm” colours to your Hair if you are a Cool or “Ash” colours if you are a Warm.  Your Hair colour if “coloured , needs to harmonise with your natural colouring.

download-copy-2-copyYOUR MAIN EYE COLOUR – When you wear your main eye colour, it immediately brightens your face and makes your eyes POP!  The exception to this rule is if your eye colour happens not to be in your season. For example – I am a cool Winter and have Cool skin undertone, Cool Hair Colour and a Sage Green eye colour – therefore, I am 2 parts Cool and one part warm. If I wore my eye colour I would look very ill.  If you hold your eye colour fabric up to your face you will soon see if it works for you or not.

downloadYOUR WHITE – the Whites of your eyes.  Most people do not have bright Whites and so the stark, bright White shirts and tops do not flatter.  Have a look at the Whites of your eyes and see what White you see is it pure White, soft White, Grey White or even off White?
Winters suit pure White,  Summers Winter White (soft off White) Spring – Soft Cream, Autumns Warm Cream.  The wrong white will dull your eyes!!

download-copy-4-copyYOUR BLACK –  Yesterday, I spent time round the malls, and it is disappointing to see so much Black in the shops, you can walk in the door of a boutique and scan the racks and see only a touch of colour included in all the Black.  What is this fixation with Black? – it can be so depressing!

We are all about Colour!  It is uplifting, stimulating, draws people to you, and just makes you feel good and good to be around!   Try and put less Black in your wardrobe – soften your look with NAVY!
Did you know that only Winters wear Black well?  Summers Can Wear Charcoal, Springs and Autumns Green//Black or Brown/Black.   But best of all Navy!

EVERY  SEASON HAS A NAVY THAT SUITS THEIR COLOUR PALETTE – and yes, I know the old saying – Black is Slimming – but so is NAVY!  and it is just that much softer reflection on the skin.  I have put together a video for you to see the difference between Black and Navy – that I hope will encourage you seek out and find some great pieces by adding some Navy to your wardrobe.
Check out our Blog Post and Video on Black Verses Navy Debate – you will find it most enlightening  https://beautyforyoublog.com/black-verses-navy-debate/

download-copy-5-copyYour Reds –  are some of the most  flattering colours for all skin tones, providing they are the “Right Red”. We often hear people say I cannot wear Red – but the problem is that they have not selected their personal Red according to their personal colouring. Red is romantic, feminine, and also energetic and active.  Your lip colour, blush and nail colour need to come from your own version of Red.  Your Red is good for Causal wear, Dinner wear, Lingerie, accents and accessories.  However, don’t wear red if giving a presentation if you are wanting feed back – it is far too dominant – also NEVER wear Red to a job interview!!

download-copy-6-copyYour Blues emphise your colouring through contrast.  Deeper Blues are basic and can be mixed easily with brighter accent colours.  Blues can be used in an entire outfit or as an accent.  Blue is the most popular colour in the spectrum.  Be sure to choose your correct Blue to flatter you personal colouring.

The No Makeup Make Up Class

A Lesson On Fresh Face No MakeupLook

When starting with your makeup application it is always good to have a check on your Hygiene tools – Spatulas, Sponges, Spoolies, Cotton Squares and Cotton Buds – so you are set to go!

Skin Care is a Top Priority

Skin care is a biggie for me, I always, always, always cleanse my skin at night, and after cleansing,  I love taking the time to apply my Bontanicals Jojoba Anti-Ageing Serum and Bee Venom Mask, and Botanicals Eye Gel Serum to make sure my skin looks it’s very best. Your skin needs to be always hydrated, plumped and ready to accept makeup.  Think of your skin round the eyes as the most finest linen – which needs to be cared for gently when you cleanse and apply your makeup. My product of choice is Botanicals Eye Gel Serum – 100% natural and gentle you will just ♥love this beautiful Gel.

Jojoba Master -rectBee Venom Face Cream MediaEye Gel Master -rect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your skin needs to be hydrated, and night time is a great time to replenish the skin from the exposure and pollutants of the day – and allow your Beauty Products do their work  while you sleep.  That is why we call it “Beauty Sleep!”

This Is My Night Routine: Botanicals Cleansing Milk, ($51.90) Cleansing Toner, ($47.75)  Jojoba Anti- Ageing Serum, ($39.95)  Bee Venom Face Cream, ($78.95) Botanicals Eye Gel Serum. ($54.75)

Morning Routine

 

Bee Venom Face Cream Media

Tone, and apply your JoJoba Anit-Ageing Serum (allow to absorb while having your breakfast!)  then your Moisturiser of choice  – mine is Beauty Bee Bee Venom Face Cream. ($78.95)  100% Gentle, 100% N.Z. Honey and Bee Venom, 100% Hand Made in N.Z. in small batches to ensure freshness, Not Tested on Animals.

Apply your moisturiser and allow to absorb prior to applying your Colour by Dezine BB Cream – What is a BB Cream?? BB (Beauty Balm) is an all-in-one moisturiser, primer, foundation and sun block and can be worn alone as a tinted moisturiser , or primer under foundation, and also under Mineral Foundation depending on the amount of coverage required. Part Skin Care, part makeup, 100% amazing! This lovely BB Cream is super hydrating protection with a sheer radiant coverage, provides a superior skin protection with a natural “No Make up” look.  SPF 20.  You can apply with Foundation brush or Latex Free Sponge.  Colour by Dezine BB Cream ($72.90)

 

Concealer Compact [1]Conceal Everywhere

Not just on any blemishes, but under the eyes, try a dab of concealer on your eyelids (with your Latex Free Sponge), between your eyebrows, on any broken capillaries, underneath your nose and in the corners of your mouth.  This will conceal redness and brighten your face in no time! Our Concealers are awesome – they just stay where you put – just pat on.  ($37.85) Available in 3 shades.

 

Mineral Powder Mineral Compact

Go easy on the powder – the key to the no – makeup makeup is being fresh faced – so putting on lots of powder will take away from that – however, our Mineral Powder is ideal, as you build the coverage you need – for this look – apply in the areas only you feel you need a little more coverage, or to take down too much shine. You will also have  the added benefit of a SPF factor of 15 – 20 depending on how much you apply.  Apply with Kabuki brush.  Silky application that adheres to the skin giving you a spectular  coverage without a “Powdered” look creating a flawless finish.  Available in 3 Cool and 3 Warm Shades ($72.90 – Refills $46.90)

Beautiful Brows!

Brows are so important – it is like the “Picture Frame” to your eyes..  Applying our Brow Defining Powder with our Mini brush will give you a super effect – filling in any gaps, just apply in short feathery strokes to achieve a natural effect. (38.50) 5 Colours to choose from.

lip glossDon’t Forget the lips!matte lips collection

Though no-makeup makeup may not seem like the place for lipstick or gloss – but it is essential to finish this lovely look. Define your lipline- by adding a Neutral lipliner is a good start –

I recommend Cool: Pink Lady, Warm: Flesh ($27.50)

Then a light lipstick Cool: Pink Princess, Snob Appeal, Luna Rose, Gotcha – or for a completely nude look Intense Beige.

Warm: Simmering Peach, Dream Catcher, Intense Apricot, Oyster,  Our lipsticks are super moisturising, super shiny and Paraben Free ($36.50).  Lip Gloss Cool: Lilic Mist, Warm Peachy – Also we have Clear if you decide on just a sheer gloss ($28.50)

I know this sound a lot – but once you get into the swing of this look it will only take you 10 to 15 minutes to apply and achieve this Lovely Natural No Makeup Makeup! With our very special Natural by Dezine® Skin Care and Colour by Dezine® Cosmetics  –

Advantages of Shopping with your Colour by Dezine Palette

How to make the most of  shopping with your Personal Colour by Dezine Palette

  You have the power!

charlene New Master 2014

Colour Analysis is simply a careful assessment of your natural colouring–  of  skin, hair and eyes – in order to determine what clothes and make-up are most complimentary for you.

Most of us have always felt some colours suited us better than others, but it was all a matter of experimentation,trial and error, until Colour Analysis was introduced.  This had a wonderful sense of logic; through analysing your natural seasonal colouring.

When your clothes and makeup complement your colouring you look natural and exciting. In your right colours we notice you first; your clothes become an afterthought.

Each “Colour by Dezine®” Palette shows sample colours that are best for each individual woman. Once you know your colours it is easy to develop a wardrobe that co-ordinates, since the colours within each palette are harmonious and all work together beautifully.  We have over 15,000 possible personal Colour Palettes in our Colour by Dezine® System.

Millions of women who have adopted Colour analysis can confirm that it is not limiting but liberating.  They have learned how to compliment, not negate, their natural colouring so they look so much better: healthier, more attractive and confident.  No longer do they have to suffer the frustrations of shopping without knowing what suits them, of buying things that are wrong or don’t go with anything else they have and just hang around cluttering their wardrobes.  Colour analysed women have wardrobes that work for them, not against them.

rsz_cbd_spring__winter_v2

Your Personal colour by Dezine Palette contains 40 colours, selected according to your precise colouring of Skin, Hair and Eyes. Use these as a guide and wear colours only that blend with your palette.

Each individual is unique. Colour by Dezine® will recognize those unique qualities and create a palette of specialized groupings of colours for that person with the seasonal undertones of hue, value and chroma present.

When shopping you will be able to scan the racks at a glance and see what is worthwhile looking at … Always use your palette .. keep it with you all the time – you cannot keep colours in your head ..  Fan out the palette and place the colour chip on the garment you are looking at – DOES IT BLEND???? – you do not have to match THREAD FOR THREAD.. If the colour chip blends nicely with the fabric then it is fine – if not, do not purchase.

The fantastic result of only purchasing garments from your colour palette is when you get it home you will see ….WOW!  It goes with many other items in your wardrobe.

 

 

Your STAR COLOURS in your palette are your very best colours to compliment your personal Skin, Hair and Eye Colours – these are the three colours I recommend you start with to add to your selection .. and build round them – you will instantly begin to see and feel the true benefit of wearing your own personal STAR COLOURS!!  Enjoy!

This is a perfect example of finding an accessory – a wrap in the Colours of your palette!!

Separate your suits – pants, skirts, jackets and colour coordinate – this way you will get more use out of each item by coordinating them with other clothes in your closet.

Nothing to wear concept, young woman deciding what to put on

 

Now you have your Personal Colours Sorted – do you need some assistance on Style and how to sort out your closet??
How many times have you stood in a fitting room asking yourself – does this look good on me? Is it the right Colour, Line, Shape, Length?

 

What about?  Will it go with items in your current  wardrobe?  Do you have to purchase something else to go with it?  It is on sale ….  How many times does that influence your decision.

How many mistakes do you have hanging in your wardrobe?

Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear?

Have you thought about how much money you have wasted?

 

Well we have the solution!!

We have prepared a step by step Portfolio to assist you in making the right choices, depending on your own personal Face, and Body Shape.

Plus, we will teach you what Style Expression you are!

For example: Does your style reflect Town and Country, Dramatic, Classic, Romantic, Creative?  Or a mixture of several expressions – this means you are sending mixed messages.  By knowing your Style Expression it will cut out the confusion and make building a co-ordinated wardrobe super easy.  Check out this link for more information.

But wait!  It does not stop there … in order to achieve a completely Colour Co-ordinated look – you need to have the correct Colour Cosmetics depending on your Skin tone and Season!  What is the point in spending money on clothes if you are wearing the wrong foundation for example – you will not achieve that radiance without the correct colour of cosmetics.

We have made it easy for you – Our Foundations are all categorized into Warm and Cool – so for example if you are a Spring or Autumn – you are Warm, foundations are Yellow and Peach based.  If you are Summer or Winter – you are Cool, foundations are Pink and Neutral based.   We researched round the world to find a manufacturer who could supply us top quality products that are: Hypoallergenic, Allergy tested, Non- comediogencic, Fragrance free, do not contain Parabens, and are not Tested on Animals.

Are These Dangerous Toxins In Your Skincare?

Are These Dangerous Toxins In Your Skincare?

vie quotidienne

Take a look at the label on your products

  • Methyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Ethyl Paraben
  • Propylene Glycol
  • DMDM Hydrantoin
  • Sodium Laurel Sulfate
  • Synethic Colours and Fragrances
  • Triethanolamine (TEA)
  • Diethanolamine (DEA)
  • Imidazolidinykl Urea and Diazolidinyl Urea (also called Germall II and Germall 115),  Behentrimonumn Chloride

These common skin care ingredients are a toxic collection of petroleum byproducts, chemicals and sulfates that cause allergic reactions – but also it is important to know – everything you put on your skin is absorbed into your body and ends up in your blood stream!! The medical world already knows this. That is why so many medications are now available in patch form. The same way your skin soaks up the medicine in patches, it also absorbs the ingredients of the products you put on your skin – including the toxic ones, and that can cause health problems at a later date. Also.. these harsh ingredients in your skincare can also destroy your complexion – and make you look years older.

This is why we are so passionate about the ingredients in all Natural by Dezine Skin Care Products. (more…)
