Inner beauty.  I never really understood it… until relatively recently. As a teenager introduced to New York through the fashion world, my standard of “beauty” was skewed not from the media but from the impossibly gorgeous, stylish and effortless super-model-being absolutely everywhere.  Its a crazy thing to compare yourself to anyone in the first place, but at 16, you don’t always think that way! It took me a very long time to realize that a large part of beauty was being yourself and feeling amazing about life, eating well (as opposed to my cigarette- starvation- cocktail regimen of the teen years) and being relaxed and happy.  This week’s Balanced Beauty pick from celebrity makeup artist Chantal Moore is a very amazing way to stop comparing yourself to an artificial standard and get into a relaxed, gorgeous state of energy…!

From Chantal: This week’s Balanced Beauty is About Face-a Flower Remedy from Alexis Smart Flower Remedies. What makes this particular Flower Remedy unique is that it is formulated with your face in mind. This multi-essence formula is designed to help those who find themselves unhappy when they look in the mirror. About Face works from the inside out to help bring balance to those finding that they are not feeling so confident about themselves and their appearance. About Face addresses the underlying emotional issues that contribute to lines, wrinkles, dark circles and sallow, dull skin. That furrowed brow? Those lines between your eyes that you hate- that make you want to run for the Botox? When you feel good inside it shows on the outside. About Face helps you to feel your best so that you can overcome those emotional issues that result in skin issues that make you feel unattractive. Natural relief. Promoting beauty from within. This formula helps relax tense facial muscles, helps to rejuvenate sallow skin and promotes detoxification of the skin. Flower Remedies are non-toxic and are taken internally via drops under the tongue.
