Lancome

Beauty


Armand Petitjean created the Lancome perfumery in 1935. He chose the name, Lancome after visiting the castle Le Chateau de Lancome. The roses that were growing between the stones of the ruined castle inspired him to use the rose as his company logo. He felt that they epitomized the feminine beauty of women.
He started the company with a collection of five new fragrances that were introduced at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. He won a prize for his creations and his reputation grew around the world. His success spurred him on to expand. Today Lancome not only offers high quality perfumes, but makeup and skin care products as well.
Lancome products were introduced to the United States in 1950. Their products are available in more than 163 countries, on all seven continents. They continue to hold the reputation of producing high quality products by maintaining strict standards and the development of new concepts for beauty products.
Armand Petitjean's dream was to obtain great fame for his company, and his beloved country of France. Lancome cosmetics have achieved this and more. They continue to develop new products while simultaneously producing many popular favorites of yesterday. Lancome employs more than 2,700 researchers and scientists who are constantly looking for ways to enhance their products. Their products are dermatologist, ophthalmologist, and safety tested to be gentle. All Lancome cosmetics are tested by volunteers before being offered to the public. They also strive to protect the environment when producing their products. They use only the best ingredients and even their packaging is designed, not only for ease of use, but also safety. Lancome does not test their products on animals.
Lancome carries a full line of fragrances along with skin care, hair care, sun and body care, makeup, accessories and gift sets. They have products for every skin type, in colors to make the rainbow envious. Their product line is constantly being updated to keep up with the latest fashions and trends.
Lancome is now working with the dermatologist, Dr. Tina Alster. Together they have created a skin care system called, Resurface Peel. Resurface Peel is a peel, designed to be used at home, to remove the dull outer layer of your facial skin. It can be used on all skin types to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to renew texture and a healthy glow to the skin. It is designed to be gentle but if you have any known skin conditions such as, eczema, rosacea, or severe acne, or if you are using any medication for your skin, you should consult with your doctor before using it. You should also not use the product if you have been artificially tanning recently, or have just undergone dermabrasion at a doctor's office. For best results, you need to follow the products directions carefully.
Lancome sponsors an annual corporate camp for Girl's Inc., designed to inspire young women to build a better future. The program encourages girls ages 14 through 18 from across the nation, to develop a new product for women. The winners attend a week long corporate camp where they are taken through all phases of research, development and marketing at Lancome headquarters.
Lancome cosmetics can be found online and at fine makeup counters all over the world.


Beauty Tips
What To Do About Blemishes and Spots on Face

Spots on face are the bane of many teenager's lives (usually hormones to blame) but increasingly it's adults too who are struggling with a spot-prone complexion (usually stress to blame). If you consider taking a holistic approach and learning relaxation techniques - yoga and self-hypnosis tapes can offer excellent relief.
Addressing the skin directly, ensure your cleanser isn't too harsh as over-zealous cleansing cand strip the skin and lead to over-production of sebum as it tries to compensate.
Also check that your products are labelled "non-comodegenic" or "non-acnegenic" - which means that they does not cause breakouts, such as acne, because it does not contain any pore clogging agents.
While it's commonly accepted that it's a bad idea to squeeze a spot (risk of scarring, spreading bacteria etc.) and if the whitehead is literally about to burst and you can't resist, place tissues over your fingers and with them parallel and flat to the skin roll gently to release the pustule. If the skin does not break easily do not force it as this is when damage is caused.
As for covering up, get a good quality concealer which has a narrow nib allowing you to blend coverage precisely. It's better if it also includes a drying-out agent to speed up the spot's demise.
What foundation to use?
Hydrating foundations come in liquid or cream versions and offer a weightless feel, thanks to moisturizing elements such as hyaluronic acid, which draws water from the air for daylong softness.
If your skin is a little oily and a little dry, try foundations for combination skin; they contain "smart" microspheres that hydrate areas that need moisture while delivering oil control to shiny spots.
Keep your foundation fresh with powder touchups throughout the day. A translucent powder is ideal.
These won't pile color pigments on the edges of your pores, making them more visible.
Mineral makeup is ideal for skin that's prone to irritation and redness, and is particularly good for people who suffer from rosacea, a skin disorder characterized by acne-like bumps and a flushing of the skin. Mineral makeup contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both of which have soothing properties that help calm skin.
As a nice alternative to a high-coverage foundation, choose a lighter formula (e.g., sheer) that works with the rest of your face. Then hide visible capillaries with a tiny bit of concealer.
