What's your skin type? by Marissa Acevedo

A good skin-care regimen can make your complexion look radiant, smooth, and clear. But before you can pick the right products for your individual needs, it's important to know your skin type.  "Your skin type is determined by a combination of genetics and external factors."  "You don't have control over your genes, but the good news is that when you treat everthing else, it can make a big difference."  Other things can effect your skin type: harmonal flunctiations, stress, sun exposure, pollution, drinking, smoking, and medications. Today, I would like to touch on the subject of oily skin, since we are in the middle of summer heat and this can be extra annoying for our oily skin ladies!

Oily skin results when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, giving skin a shiny appearance.  Sometimes a greasy or sticky feel remains for several hours after cleansing.  It is also characterized by larger pores than other skin types and is more prone to breakouts, clogged pores and blemishes.  Oily skin may tend to wrinkle less readily than drier skin types. The large amount of oil on the skin's surface helps the upper layers retain water and protects the skin from environmental causes of dryness.

It may seem counterintuitive, but oily skin needs moisturizing, especially if you've been using acne treatments. Most topical acne creams and cleansers contain ingredients that can dry out your skin, which, in turn, can trigger inflammation and cause more breakouts. Your best bet is to use a moisturizer that doesn't contain oil and that's noncomedogenic. It won't clog your pores, and you'll be getting the moisture you need.

For Oily skin you want a product that will help control surface oilines, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking radiant.  Deep clean pore openings of impurities and oily buildup.  This will help makeup stay fresher longer.

Jennifer Highlights --- Integrating Email Marketing and Social Media by Jennifer Dixon

Email marketing much like social media is a cost effective way to reach out to your current audience, it’s also an opportunity to reach your prospective clients and customers. Email marketing combined with social media is not only a convenient marketing strategy; it’s also a powerfully effective one

Using an email newsletter (also known as an ezine) as a marketing tool will give your readers an opportunity to experience you through your own “voice”. You can show how your products or services help your clients solve problems. You can also share personal experiences to better relate to your audience by showing the person behind the business.

Email Marketing Tips:

1 - Schedule time to work on your e-newsletter on a regular basis, ideally you should publish your e-newsletter on a weekly basis but if you’re just starting out or haven’t gotten started yet, then you can begin with a monthly or biweekly newsletter, the point here is to just get started. 

2 - Repackage and repurpose your e-newsletter article. Your weekly article can be submitted to article distribution sites like ezinearticles, added to your website or used in part to create an info product, see my previous post for more tips on repurposing your content.

3 - Add social sharing to your e-newsletter, this makes it easy for your readers to pass your content on to other readers.

4 - Promote your social presence in email by including links to your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, your e-newsletter could increase your followers, friends and connections.

5 - Attract new e-newsletter subscribers through your social media by offering them something of value like a discount or early access to information for the email opt-ins that come through your social media channels.

Constantly being in front of your prospects increases the likelihood that your business will be the one they think of when they’re ready to make a purchase. If you don’t have ezine or e-newsletter now is the time to consider starting one, it’s great investment for your business and should be incorporated into your marketing plan if it isn’t already.
