Skintervention by Scott-Vincent Borba

Hey guys how are you?

I've got a slight bug, so I've been taking it a little easy (as easy as I can take it with an 8 month old). One way I've been relaxing is getting some much needed reading done.  As you girls know, one of my goals is to stay looking 21 forever.  I was recently sent the book Skintervention by Scott Vincent Borba, creator of those Borba beauty drinks and skin care line,  and this book will definitely help me on my quest to stay looking young. It is loaded with so much information on how to treat your skin, massive anti-aging techniques and my fave part, Do It Yourself beauty recipes. Here are some interesting facts from the book.

1) A quick fix for dark circles and puffiness is to put an ice cube on the roof of your mouth and hold it with your tongue. The cold will literally help draw down the puffiness underneath the eye area. In a few moments you'll look more refreshed, and awake.
2)The key ingredient people suffering from acne should look for is sulfur.
3) The key ingredient people who want to antiage should look for is Hyaluronic Acid.
4) He suggest adding Cayenne pepper to your diet and facials because it increases flushing of the sin, and enhances the clarity of your skin.
5) He also talks about the acai berry. ( I put that in my smoothie every morning.) It's amazing for anti-aging. It has high level of Omega 6 and Omega 9 which are great for the skin and he says some people believe it slows the aging process.
6) If you want to look younger, and get back your youthful glow, eat leafy green veggies. The best choices are spinach, radicchi, Swiss chard, romaine, butter leaf, arugula etc

Here's two of his Do It Yourself recipes for fab skin:

DIY Pore Opening Scrub
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon white or brown sugar
Mix baking soda with sugar. Leave on until you feel tingle. After that wash off. The sugar will open your pores and the baking soda will clear up skin imperfections and mattify your skin.


Under Eye Treatment
1) banana
2) Vaseline chilled in the fridge overnight.
Mash the banana and a quarter sized amount of Vaseline, apply under your eyes. Wrinkles, lines and swelling will be visibly reduced and your foundation and concealer will glide right on.

His book is loaded with these do it yourself recipes, as well as  fascinating information about skin, as well as his plan for how you can get Red Carpet Ready Skin in 7 days and even how to make cocktails that are beneficial for your skin.  All in all, this book was great.

You can order it here.
