			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Carrots have been around for centuries and are used to promote and enhance many parts of our bodies, but did you know of the wonders that it can do for your skin?</p>

Carrot seed oil is one of the most rejuvenating and regenerating oils in skincare. It improves the complexion, as it helps to remove toxic build-up in the skin, and eliminate excess water from the tissue.</p>
<p><em>Clear Essence Cosmetics USA, Inc </em>has now brought you the wonderful healing properties of carrot oil into a new and amazing soap. The <em><a title="My Natural Beauty Skin Tone Carrot Oil Soap" href="http://www.clearessence.com/my-natural-beauty-skin-tone-carrot-oil-soap.html">Clear Essence ‘Carrot Oil Soap’</a> </em>under the <em><a title="Natural Skin Care for Darker Skin Types" href="http://www.clearessence.com/clear-essence-skin-essentials-combo-gift-set.html">Skin Essentials</a> </em>product line is brand new and ready to get your skin look bright and beautiful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Low temperatures usually means dry weather, and with that comes chapped lips, dry skin and a constant thirst. Before picking up that hot cocoa or coffee, remember that the liquids you drink on a daily basis can not only affect your skin but your overall health.</p>
<p>Here are some quick reminders to help you make the wisest and healthiest choices for your skin this winter season.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sugar sweetened soft drinks can cause wrinkles and promote acne. We know that soda goes with almost every meal but there are always better alternatives such as fresh juices or green tea.</li>
<li>Do you go out a lot? Alcohol dehydrates the skin. Remember to drink water before, during and after consuming alcohol to ensure hydration of your body including your skin.</li>
<li>Caffeine contributes to dark under eye circles. Limit your caffeine intake and reduce your chances of dehydration, insomnia, and increased stress from caffeine.</li>
<li>Drink fresh vegetable and fruit juices daily. Cold weather wears on the skin and the minerals in vegetables and fruits can help combat color loss and dryness.</li>
<li>Drink 8 cups of water every day!</li>
</ul>
<p>Following some or all of these tips will insure you to have <a title="Flawless Skin for Darker Skin Types" href="http://www.clearessence.com/">flawless skin</a> throughout the winter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>True or False? The best time to wash your face is in the morning after or while you are taking a shower or bath. This is of course true, but not entirely. Many people forget that  you should wash your face right before you go to sleep to rid of unseen sweat or dirt that has accumulated over the day and may still be hidden.</p>
<p>We know that after a long day, the last thing you are thinking about before you head to bed is to wash your face, so  here are some tips to keep your <a title="Ethnic Skin Care Regime" href="http://www.clearessence.com/">ethnic skin care regime</a> quick and easy.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set an alarm on your mobile phone for a time close to your bed time that will remind you to wash your face. If bed times vary set a new alarm daily.</li>
<li>If you live with someone, tell them to read this and ask them if they would like to team up with you as it will make it more of an event.</li>
<li>Lastly, if you can, take a shower prior to sleeping so that you will automatically have to wash your.</li>

<p>To receive a light and refreshing cleanse right before bed use <strong>Clear Essence’s <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Clear Essence Lemon Plus Vitamin C Body Soap Scrub" href="http://www.clearessence.com/clear-essence-lemon-plus-vitamin-c-body-soap-scrub.html">Lemon Plus Vitamin C Body Soap Scrub</a></span></em></strong>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wonder why you see those strips of carrot in your salad everyday? Carrots may not be a deal breaker for you when it comes to choosing food, but should be when it comes to cosmetics.

Here are some facts about carrots you may have not known:</p>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carrots were first grown as medicine, not food, for a variety of ailments.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carrots are about 87% water.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, providing more than 200% of your daily requirement in just one carrot.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carrots also are loaded with beta-carotene, a compound that is naturally converted to vitamin A when consumed.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carrots&#8217; antioxidant compounds help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promote good vision, especially night vision.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As winter begins to creep in, we at Clear Essence Cosmetics USA, Inc. want to make sure that no changes occur in your <a title="Ethnic Skin Care" href="http://www.clearessence.com/">ethnic skin care regimes</a>, the only change that should occur is the temperature, not your healthy looking skin.</p>
<p>It is easy to think that just because it is cold that you do not need as much lotion as your whole body will be covered from head to toe. This is not true. Actually, as temperatures drop and the sun is no longer a factor, dryness of skin increases daily. Here are some quick tips that will keep your darker complexion skin care consistent.</p>
<ul>
<li>Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to ensure moisture to the skin. Along with that, apply Clear Essence’s<strong> <a title="My Natural Beauty Moisturizing Body Lotion" href="http://www.clearessence.com/my-natural-beauty-moisturizing-body-lotion.html">My Natural Beauty Moisturizing Body Lotion</a> </strong>every morning and evening before going out to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.</li>
<li>See your local dermatologist to receive a full check-up and diagnostics of your skin type. Knowing the status of your skin before applying any skin care products is extremely important.</li>
<li>If you are use to taking hot showers, make sure to use a body soap that is made to moisturize your skin 24 hours a day. Clear Essence’s <strong>My Natural Beauty Skin Tone  Olive Oil Soap</strong> will help you fight drying and aging skin.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Babies Need Love Too!</p>
<p>A new infant is an amazing addition to complete a family. A new baby brings with him/her an unconditional love that is extremely hard to break. Babies are a precious gift that you can’t help but love and cherish from the day they are born, through their horrible teenage years and on to adulthood. The only down side that comes with a precious baby is the temporary (or in some cases long term) crying and fussiness. <em>Clear Essence Cosmetics</em> has created a wonderful Baby product line to soothe and calm your baby so that everyone can rest peacefully. Recommended for babies 3 months and older, the <strong><em>Clear Essence ‘Baby Soothing Vapor Bar Soap’</em></strong><em> </em>is a unique vapor bar enriched with rosemary, eucalyptus, and menthol that soothes and comforts the body while gently cleansing all skin impurities. Bathe your baby with warm water while washing their body with the soap to loosen up their body. After bathing, deepen your baby’s relaxation by moisturizing and massaging them with the <strong><em>Clear Essence ‘Baby Oil with Lavender’. </em></strong>Try using any of the following tips below in addition to a warm bath and massage to ensure that your baby stays happy and relaxed.<br />
<strong>Ways to Soothe a Fussy Baby</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong> </strong>Many babies respond positively to motion. Try rocking,      walking or slow dancing with baby or vibrating the baby with rockers and      carriers.</li>
<li>Place      baby in a wearable sling or carrier, and go about your business. Baby may      find your proximity calming.</li>
<li>Play      soft, calming music. Dim the lights, lower your voice, and put on a      collection of lullabies or classical music. Nature sounds work well, too.</li>
<li>Change      baby&#8217;s position. Some parents suggest lying baby face down across your      lap, with a warm towel placed underneath.</li>
<li>Give      baby a gentle massage. Babies crave human touch; some find massages truly relaxing.</li>
<li>Try      distracting your infant with a mirror or a drawing of a human face.</li>
<li>Lie      your infant down under a slowly circulating ceiling fan. The combined      motion and sound may calm her.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along with the use of the <strong><em>Clear Essence</em> ‘<em>Baby Soothing Vapor Bar Soap</em>’</strong> in a warm bath, massaging with the<strong><em> Clear Essence ‘Baby Oil with Lavender’</em></strong> and the use of a couple of the tips above, your baby is sure to remain tranquilized and relieved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long summer being constantly in the sun, our hair, nails, and skin suffer tremendously due to extreme exposure to UV rays. Although it is recommended to take precautions towards preventing harm to your hair, nails and skin, many times we neglect to act until the damage has already been done. Fortunately, there are steps that you can take towards improving and relieving post-damaged hair, nails, and skin.</p>
<p>The summer heat tends to affect our hair more than expected. By the end of the summer season, with all the days staying out in the heat, our hair becomes very dirty from sweat, and dried out and brittle from the sun. To counter these changes, it is recommended that you keep your hair clean and moisturized. Try using the <em>Tresemme Fresh Start</em> product line, which contains various dry shampooing products that are great for those who do not wish wash their hair daily, but do want a clean start after a day of sweating. Another product line that is useful toward moisturizing your hair is the <em>Paul Mitchell Moisture </em>line, complete with shampoos, conditioners, and daily moisturizing products. Both product lines are great for all hair types and will surely help you achieve beautiful hair all year long.</p>
<p>Sun damage is also a threat to an often neglected part our bodies, our nails. Sun damage can cause vertical ridges in your nails, which become more apparent as you age. You can treat these ridges by applying a nail polish basecoat with ridge filler. A great product for this is the <em>Ridge Filler and Base Coat</em> by <em>Essie,</em> which can be found at most beauty supply stores. Once ridges have formed it takes four to six months for your fingernails to grow from cuticle to tip, while your toenails may take a year to a year and a half to grow out. Using a nail polish with ridge filler will help bide time until your nails have grown out.</p>

<p>When meeting someone for the first time, what is the first thing you observe? Their skin. Hiding bad skin is so hard to do, especially for males. Sure there’s makeup to cover up mild acne scars, but what about the severe acne that can’t be covered? Obtaining great skin takes patience, obedience, and dedication. Everyone wants great skin but is quick to quit their regimen when they don’t see immediate results. Clear Essence provides their current and future clients with a couple of do’s and don’ts when it comes to skin treatment:</p>
<p>DO&#8217;s:<br />
1. Make sure that the hands are clean when you touch your face. Special care has to be taken when touching the spotty areas.<br />
2. Always use a Clear Essence dermatologist recommended product for cleansing, toning, treating and moisturizing.<br />
3. Exercise regularly.<br />
4. Stick to a diet rich in vegetables, salads and whole grains.</p>
<p>DON&#8217;Ts:<br />
1. Touch or squeeze spots.<br />
2. Go to bed without removing your make-up.<br />
3. Scrub your face with harsh scrubs or rough sponges.<br />
4. Use heavy comedogenic creams and cosmetics.</p>
