💥Anti-Pollution Protection

Why?

Do you live in or near to a city? Urban women’s skin ages 10% faster than those who live in the countryside!

Chemical compounds (pollution) are increasingly being released into the air & adhering to the skins surface resulting in premature aging, dehydration, irritation & dull skin.

AlumierMD have come up with a solution & it’s called:

👉🏻Alumience A.G.E.™

It reduces the visible signs of aging caused by free radicals, pollution, & advanced glycation end products (A.G.E.s).

Using a unique blend of antioxidants & a 💥biomimetic pollution shield💥

Alumience A.G.E.™ provides the ultimate in daily protection from pollution & UV skin damage.

How:

💡Exo-P™ (Alteromonas Ferment Extract) is a sustainable purified polysaccharide from a unique sustainable ecosystem in the French Polynesia, Exo-P forms a biomimetic shield on the surface of the skin to protect against pollution and smog.

Exo-P purifies dull & devitalized skin & prevents premature aging.

💡Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E): A highly moisturizing & fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant, which strengthens the effect of vitamin C.

💡Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
(Vitamin C): A stable oil-soluble form of vitamin C that is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage caused by the sun & pollution.

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. It also brightens & evens out skin tone.

👉🏻 In a nutshell, Alumience A.G.E.™ provides potent protection from pollution induced premature aging while boosting the skins radiance.

You’re welcome!!! 😉

Today is a very special day for me…

5 years ago my husband & I uprooted our lives, left our families & our home for a new Canadian adventure. 🇿🇦

It’s been a journey, but we’ve been very fortunate to have made incredible friends that have now become our new family!

4 years ago we adopted two Canadian rescue cats. 😻😻

2 years ago I got the opportunity to start my own Canadian business. ✔️

Today we celebrate this incredibly momentous occasion!

Here’s to the start of another new adventure. Today we became Canadian citizens 🇨🇦 ❤️🇨🇦

- I personally used the AlumierMD homecare products for almost 3 years before starting my business & recommending it professionally.

So, why AlumierMD?

☝🏻 Basics for anyone who wants to start a skincare routine.

1) Wash your face everyday, especially at night. Skip the soap & choose a pH balanced, SLS free facial wash instead. Your skin will thank you!

2) Keep your skin hydrated. Whether you’re oily, “normal” or dry, invest in a great moisturizer that can be used morning & nighttime.

3) You’ve heard about it over & over again, now do it.
Apply a broad spectrum sunscreen every single day.

Start with the basics & add on from there. 👍🏻

….. and it’s ok!

Unfortunately, we live in a time where “perfection” is idealized & praised leaving many with a sense of “not good enough!”

As someone who struggled with severe cystic acne for years, I can attest to the impact it had on my confidence & life as a whole…

I have three incredible & impressionable nieces that I would like to encourage & support in learning to embrace, care for & love their skin, body & hair as is…

I also love skincare, make up & playing with new products & feel incredibly grateful to have access to these luxuries.

Let’s be a little kinder to ourselves & to others by not “filtering” out the imperfections but rather encouraging both a healthier relationship with our skin & mind…

🌵Dry, flaky, winter skin?

Dealing with dry skin can be frustrating & overwhelming…

It may often be accompanied by redness & sensitivity.

You’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work OR

It “works for 2 weeks” and then you’re back to square one & have no one to reach out to!

Every skin is different & should be treated as such. However, there are a few things you can do to support your skin.

👉🏻To start, choose:

- Products with ingredients in concentrations that increase product efficacy.

- A brand that performs clinical testing to ensure exceptional results in correcting a variety of skin conditions and concerns.

- An experienced skincare professional that offers a thorough skincare consultation, a personalized treatment plan plus follows up with you afterwards.

- Be consistent with your skincare 👍🏻

📍Struggling with your skin?

📍 Tried almost every product available?

📍 Need to chat to an esthetician & get professional advice?

📍 Want to try medical grade skincare but don’t know where to start?

There is no catch, I’m an esthetician with over 16years experience. As a teen, I struggled for years with cystic acne & hyperpigmentation.

My passion is helping others who are struggling with their skin. It affects your entire life, especially your confidence.

Few of my favourite things…
✨3 Step Skincare✨

👉🏻 Bright and Clear Solution

A refreshing skin conditioning solution that exfoliates cellular debris and refines skin complexion.

After cleansing, apply solution to face and neck with a cotton pad. Do not rinse off. Follow with AlumierMD serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Use in the morning and evening.

PRO TIP: For some people, it may be normal to experience sensitivity while the skin is adjusting to Bright & Clear Solution. Apply to a moistened cotton pad and pat or swipe on skin.

👉🏻EverActive C&E™ + Peptide

This potent serum stays fresh because you only mix the 15% vitamin C into the peptide serum when you’re ready to use it.

Apply 3 - 4 drops once daily in the morning after cleansing. Gently massage into face, neck and décolleté in an upward motion. Follow with specialty products and sunscreen.

👉🏻 Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 (Versatile Tint)

A sheer physical sunscreen that provides powerful broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. It uses a combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while moisturizing with vitamin E.

Here’s to the new year being off to a great start & all of us remembering to breathe a little more….

All eyes on you…. AlumierMD has just launched the perfect “Eye kit!”

This kit contains the AluminEye™ - a moisturizing eye cream formulated with a blend of specialty peptides that diminish the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness.

Plus the Retinol Eye Gel - formulated especially for the delicate eye area and contains a pure, gentle and cutting-edge microencapsulated retinol that firms, tightens and strengthens the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Packaged together in a white vegan leather cosmetic bag with rose gold detailing.
