Face Masks do work. Why I use Face Masks & How

Skin Care is very important. I have been doing a good skin care routine since I was in middle school. Luckily at that time my Aunt pulled me aside and said, "We need to handle that grease on your face." She then took me to Macy's where I got the complete toner, cleanser, night/day moisturizer and blemish control package with masks to try out. I was forever grateful! I didn't have major acne growing up and I am sure that had something to do with it. I took care of my skin and I still do. 

I love trying new things and products. I was recently inside CVS searching for a new facial mask from a new brand. To my disappointment there were very few to pick from. But I did happen to come upon this blue mask from Freeman. It's Dead Sea Minerals mask... is AMAZING. Simply, just amazing. It's the kind that hardens up and leaves your face stiff when you have it on. Which is great. I left it on about 5-10 mins. Put a hot towel over my face, left it on for about a minute. Then wiped the reminder of the mask off. My face felt so soft and well just lovely. I was quite surprised that this cheap mask did such wonders for my face in such short time. I believe it was on sale for 4 dollars! 

It's so very important to protect your face with sunscreen in your makeup or when you are outside especially if you have fair skin. 90% of wrinkles are sun-based. 90!!!!! You can prevent wrinkles. So, all that tanning and not wearing a hat when you are out all day in the sun is going to make you look older than you really are. And that is not a good thing. Plus more likely hood of getting skin cancer. Who wants to look 40 at 28? Not me, hopefully not you and most definitely guys don't want to date someone who looks older than they are.

Anyways, I am not here to preach but to suggest and give advice from personal knowledge.

Wash your face, preserve with a mask, hydrate with moisturizer and protect with sunblock!

 

I love the color of the mask! Try one! Sometimes there are sample packs, they usually cost 99 cents or so. I try to put a mask 1-2 a week. Love yourself and love your face. Good skin is worth the 10 minutes. Trust me. I have combination skin. Which is a shiny T zone (forehead, nose and chin). This mask worked great for me. I have several that I use for different purposes. My face looks and feels younger than it should. Which is a good thing! People always think I am 5-10 years younger than I am.

Who is Rachael Beauty?

A few days ago on Facebook someone asked me which girl I was on my profile. He couldn't tell right away because I had so many pictures. Different pictures of different models and of myself and friends. At first I was wondering how is it not obvious who I am from my profile? Then I began searching around my pictures and albums. It did seem a bit confusing because I am not branding myself enough on my profile! I want it clear and direct about who I am online in every way possible  If someone can't tell what my profession is and they have access to my personal and professional pictures then I need to change the way I present myself online. I am glad he mentioned this, as no one else has. He wasn't in the beauty business, which is why it is even more important to me.

So, let me introduce myself properly. I am Rachael Beauty, a creative hair stylist/designer from Los Angeles, California. I specialize in make overs, updos, styling, blow-outs, haircuts, & editorial, avant-garde looks. I am dedicated to my craft and approach beauty with a degree of professionalism and tact. I enjoy working together as a team.  I like to achieve the best results with technique and style. Not taking short cuts, even if it means it takes a little longer. The end result is far more superior than if I simply cut corners. No pun intended. :)

Finished with hair spray and teased.

I graduated from Aveda Institute Los Angeles in the summer of 2011. I am a licensed cosmetologist for the state of California. I am open-minded on techniques and I love learning and trying new things. I have a great sense of humor and am very social and people friendly. I love to network online and in person. I have many goals and plans for my future in the hair & beauty business.

I take my work seriously and I love what I do. I love beauty.

I also excel at social media. Brand presence, visibility, audience and community development are my specialties. If you have no idea what that means and just have a Facebook account to promote your business then you probably need to talk to me. The internet is a shift in communication and it isn't going anywhere. 

I am new in creating my brand for Rachael Beauty. I know exactly what I have to do. Most requires trial and error of various techniques online. It's a learned habit that comes gradually over time. 

Get to know your clients, listen to their needs and respond in a friendly way; not as someone simply trying to sell them something. Stand out. Care. The rewards will come.

Trying not to sound too much like a résumé, but my work is my passion and I love making beautiful things come to life. Have a lovely day and thank you for reading. 

Love&etc,
