CC's Fountain of Youth

Youth is wasted on the young. - George Bernard Shaw

Darlings, happy weekend! 

In today's post, CC shares her magnificent methods of looking and feeling youthful! 

Nourish and hydrate your body and your skin! Drink lots of water, eat salmon, and moisturize:
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream, CC's favorite facial moisturizer, at tatcha.com.

Protect your delicate dermis from the sun year-round:
Derma-E SPF30 Sun Protection Mineral Powder, at Whole Foods and ulta.com.

Stave off wrinkles: Bee Rx™ Anti-Aging Eye Lift Roller Serum, an anti-wrinkle eye treatment with the benefits of injectables, but a gentler application. Stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, formulated with medical-grade New Zealand Kanuka honey and humanely sourced bee venom which causes a slight amount of swelling, helping to fill in wrinkles. CC’s new go-to!

Do inversions! Get your legs above your heart for 5-10 minutes each day for health benefits including improved mood, better circulation, digestion and elimination, more restful sleep, and anti-aging: get yourself and your skin upside-down!

Sleep in style and comfort: Slip Peaches and Cream zippered silk pillowcase, at slip.com. CC's nighttime wrinkle-preventer!

CC Loves... Geisha-Inspired Beauty!

Darlings, CC finds endless inspiration from the beauty rituals of the Japanese geisha!

Perfect One Focus Smooth Cleansing Balm

This award-winning Japanese balm provides deep pore cleansing, effectively removing not only makeup, but unwanted detritus such as sebum and keratin that can clog pores. 

Curél Japanese Skincare Makeup Cleansing Oil

Tough on makeup, gentle on your skin, this cleansing facial oil gently removes makeup, dirt and oil from deep within pores. CC loves that it’s formulated to be gentle on dry, sensitive skin, washing away impurities without stripping skin of natural ceramides.

Tatcha Rice Polish, a gentle foaming enzyme powder made from Japanese rice bran to exfoliate and polish skin for a healthy glow, at tatcha.com.

Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Liquid Lip Color Shade 54, Strawberry Red, at chanel.com. 

When it comes to a geisha’s traditional stage makeup, the white makeup and dramatic lip and eye are more subtle by candlelight (which is how geishas traditionally perform). “Their makeup comes from the kabuki heritage, specifically so that people can see their expression on the stage by candlelight,” Tsai says. “It’s much more translucent in person than it is in pictures.” They buy a white powder at their local apothecary and mix it with a solution to create a paste. The red lipstick is called Kyoto Red, made from beni, which is a pure extract from Japanese safflower.
