Save on Votre Vu’s Anti-Aging Night Cream in April

7 Apr

Votre Vu’s powerpacked Parfait Nuit Anti-Aging Night Cream is on special this month. With your $75+ qualifying purchase, you can get your night cream for only $20.00 ($64 retail). What a great savings! (Ready to shop now…click here)

Who is a perfect candidate for Parfait Nuit? It’s great for normal, dry and mature complexions all year long. And even if you are using our Attentive line of daily skin care, you can probably use the Parfait Nuit as long as your skin isn’t super sensitive (if it is, stick with the specially formulated Attentive Night Cream for sensitive skin). The only individuals who should not try Parfait Nuit are those with troubled skin that battle with breakouts and blocked pores as the cream is too rich for their skin type.
For those with combination skin, you can use Parfait Nuit on cheeks or where complexion is more dry and sluggish.
Mature and illness-compromised individuals who regularly use Parfait Nuit have experienced beautifully repaired complexions due to the restorative formula and high quality of ingredients.
Also men, no need to feel left out…Parfait Nuit is perfect for you if you too have normal or dry skin.

What are the benefits? Parfait Nuit is the perfect nighttime vitamin for normal, dry and mature skin because it is designed to fully stimulate cellular regeneration.
*Vitamin A Palmitate and rosewood oil stimulate cellular regeneration and are proven complexion enhancers.
*Ylang, jojoba and wheat germ oils strengthen cells weakened by water loss and support suppleness and firmness of the skin.
*Vitamin E neutralizes excess free radicals which are responsible for cell damage and premature skin aging.
*Wheat protein nourishes the skin’s upper layers.
*Vegetable extracts and proteins help to visibly fade away fine lines and wrinkles by providing our skin with cell-building nutrients.

Did you know? Vitamin A Palmitate is a powerjouse retinol used in many of Votre Vu’s skin care creams, lotions and oils. It is used for its superior moisturizing and conditioning properties. This natural form of vitamin A is easily absorbed by the skin and adis in the stimulation of new cell growth. It is extremely beneficial for treating dry, damaged skin. Some clinical studies have shown that it improves skin’s composition to increase collagen DNA, skin thickness and elasticity.
And just as good as retinol is for promoting healthy skin, so is Wheat Germ Oil. It is rich in fatty acids and natural vitamin E, not to mention vitamins A, C, K, D, B1, B2, B3 and B6! It is a powerful emollient with intense antioxidant properties that combat the effects of premature aging and loss of elasticity.

What Power Ingredients Make Votre Vu Skin Care Products so Effective?

6 Apr

Retinoids are a common anti-aging ingredient that are often prescribed by dermatologists. The problem with retinoids are that they are irritating to a large portion of the population and you can only get them with a prescription.

Beauty and Biz was recently asked if Votre Vu products contained retinoids and if not, what were our power ingredients that make our products so effective. We do have products that contain retinol (Parfait Nuit) which isn’t as harsh on the skin and can deliver very similar results, but that isn’t the only ingredient or main anti-aging ingredient in the Votre Vu line.

We are proud to say that once again, Votre Vu uses the best in natural ingredients when it comes to our power ingredients. And remember, Votre Vu products are higher quality and better formulated then regular department store brands. We use exclusive ingredients such as Wild Yam, Botaxol marine, marine collegen, marine elastine and other proprietary secrets and peptides (sorry, our lab keeps that under wraps:) because we make those special blended ingredients from other ingredients. Very few laboratories in the world can properly extract marine collagen from brown algae and then have the capability to infuse it into their formulas with desirable potency. Our laboratory does this with extreme success.

You will hear us time and time again talk about our products with marine collagen and elastin because they are our anti-aging superstars and we are all looking for products that will aid us in keeping our youthful glow and minimize those wrinkles. We all know that when we age, the amount of collagen in our skin decreases, resulting in wrinkles. Marine collagen maintains skin elasticity and strength by stimulating the synthesis of new collagen.

Marine collagen helps our skin by:
· Stimulating collagen production and elastin collagen thickening

· Encouraging skin renewal and minimizing muscle contractions

· Reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines

· Helping provide long-term improvements in deeper wrinkles.

· Helping prevent our natural collagen and elastin breakdown to firm the skin

Who knew that brown algae could be our friend! And yes, we only deal with the sexiest brown algae:)

Are You Sensitive to Perfumes in Products?

4 Apr

If you are one who is sensitive to perfumes or products that contain perfume, you probably have to carefully check out the ingredients in the products you use. Be aware that the PARFUM listed in Votre Vu products, is not the common frangrance as Americans are used to understanding.

The French term, parfum, is a natural scent that can be made from autentic essentials oils and not a synthetic or simulated fragrance that most people who are sensitive to perfumes are actually trying to avoid. Currently, the only simulated fragrance in the Votre Vu line is the signature scent created for our On Holiday body collection.

So feel free to indulge in the natural secents of Votre Vu! (and remember, if anything does tickle your nose in the wrong way, you can return it under our 45 day money back guarantee!)

Smell good:)

What Are Parabens and Are They Harmful?

28 Mar

In 2004, a British study reported that parabens in antiperspirants may have been a contributing factor to the women in their study developing breast cancer. The report soon after took a life of its own and often times the information was misreported in such a way that caused an ‘internet scare’ among consumers.

There is still a lot of controversary around parabens and their safety among groups of people. But there is no government agency, in Europe or the United States, that deems parabens as harmful. You can read more about parabens and their safety here:
Parabens, Carcinogens and Certified Organic Ingredients
FDA’s Information on Parabens

Votre Vu also sees parabens as a safe preservative to protect consumers against microbial growth and protect the integrity of the products. We do however also use other preservatives in certain formulations so if you are searching for paraben free products we have several, including our Attentive serum and creme, our Royal Treatment Face Scrub and Calm, Cool & Collected masque to name a few.

As always, Votre Vu continues to research and develop products with the consumer’s needs and interest in mind.

French Tips for Gorgeous Skin at Any Age! Part 2

2 Jan

Look and feel your best in 2011 with Votre Vu!

Here are 6 more tips to finding your inner french girl:

Exfoliate with a gentle scrub or fruit acid peel
 The French women are taught early to respect the health of their skin by being gentle and attentive to it always. Avoid the harsh chemicals that are so prevalent in many products.
 Products like Nouveau Glow Renewing Fruit Acid Peel and Royal Treatment Gentle Pearls Scrub are kind to your skin yet highly effective must-haves for keeping their complexion glowing radiantly and breathing well.

Get eight hours or more of sleep each night
 When we sleep, we must provide ourselves enough time to cycle thru the deepest stages of sleep. This is how you will get the most out of your skin care sérums, and the most beneficial results for your internal systems too.
 Medical studies show that at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night should be the goal to allow our bodies to recharge and stay healthy.
 The French, and Europeans in general, work hard but have shorter work weeks; they play hard but know the value of rest and make sure they get it!

Use products that have a high percentage of natural power ingredients
 The French seek out high percentage, high quality and highly decadent skin care products. Beautifully aromatic, natural botanicals are sought out for their time-tested health and beauty benefits.
 Our French counterparts need fewer things, but they choose to have only the best…less clothing and shoes, but much higher quality….richer, darker chocolate, higher fat and self-indulgent foods, but eat less of them daily. Quality is always the goal; quality is the key to success in their lives and in their skin care.
 Choose products high in quality and quantity of powerful ingredients such as Les Sorbet – a unique frozen sérum which boasts 40% marine elastin and collagen.

Employ the power of products developed for special-need skin areas
 Around the eyes is one such area. The skin here is much more delicate and thinner than skin on the rest of your face. Treatments for the orbital area should take into account the delicate nature of the skin.
 Sweep eye make-up remover is très gentle and perfect for preparing the orbital area for further eye treatments like Tout Le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelée, Luxee Yeux Eye Beauty Balm and SpécialEyes Intensive Eye Treatment eye products.
 It is also important to always use a light touch when applying such products around the eyes. There is less elastin here and the skin just will not bounce back from wear and tear like other areas of the body. Use your ring finger for eye crème application…it is the weakest finger on your hand.
 The neck area has different hormonal reactors than the face, and as a result, ages faster. It has fewer oil glands and skin is thicker, creating the necessity for a formula dedicated to refining the skin’s texture and reinforcing the tissue for a smoother appearance. Portrait Collar Restorative Neck Crème is one such product that addresses the unique needs of this area.
 And finally, the feet and hands will benefit substantially from specialized, intensive treatment such as Votre Vu’s Très Magni-feet Exfoliant and Crème Pour Les Pieds. Don’t neglect these areas!

Keep it moving
 Exercise, massage and product treatment will improve circulation and reduce congestion of lymph and water for smooth arms, legs and behinds.
 To aid in the preservation of youthful tautness and smooth limbs, manual manipulation or massage is vital to stimulate sluggish spots on the body. Thighs, the abdomen, as well as upper arms, can benefit greatly from a deep massaging with C’est La Vie slimming products.
 Beyond the circulation encouraging physical application, the essential ingredients in such products are custom blended to assist in better drainage of congested cells and ward off retention.
 Treat each “problem” area before the “problem” starts…be proactive instead of reactive…that is the French mantra for beauty and health.

Look in the mirror and see “yourself” as beautiful
 French females know one thing for sure…self confidence is infinitely sexy!
 Embrace what makes us unique and take care of it well.
 It is commonly believed that Americans are crazy for chasing perfection. The French find no charm or pride in perfection.
 Treat your skin properly with a base face set and then wear a bright pink lipstick alone…just because you can, you confident and charming thing!
 A quick spritz of À Votre Santé throughout the day can also bolster the cleanliness and overall vitality of your face and personality!

Resist the pressure to be someone you are not; instead, focus on fully developing who you are…this is the meaning of VOTRE VU! This is what we are based on and exactly how our laboratory operates…real quality, real ingredients, real formulations that stand the test of time. Votre Vu means Your You…We want to help you find your healthy beautiful center…and, if you smell divine from our sumptuous skin care…all the better!

Have a Beautiful 2011!
