Make-Up by Jane Iredale

Jane Iredale is the original mineral based makeup which is unique in its design and application. Originally designed for use in dermatology and plastic surgery offices, the therapeutic properties of the minerals range from being anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and UV protectant. Jane Iredale is so pure and beneficial that it not only enhances your beauty, but is also a true extension of skin care.

What makes Jane Iredale special?

The use of the highest quality ingredients available ensures satisfaction with performance, coverage, application and texture. The minerals conform to the most current technology available that ensure broad spectrum sun protection.

The nature of high quality minerals is to interact with light. This is what gives them their celebrated soft-focus effect. The Jane Iredale line includes a variety of foundations that provide a range of finishes from sheer to full, from luminescent to velvety.

Because Jane Iredale uses pure mineral pigment with no fillers such as talc, the foundations and concealers give exceptional coverage that requires minimal touch-ups. The foundations form a protective barrier on the skin that allows it to breathe and function normally. Laboratory tests confirm that all of the products are non-comedogenic and do not block pores.

Jane Iredale products have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation. To earn this seal, a manufacturer must provide scientific data showing that its products sufficiently and safely aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin. All Jane Iredale products are safety tested, allergy tested, clinically tested and dermatologist tested to ensure avoidance of any ingredients that may be skin sensitizers.

CeraVe® Moisturizing Lotion

CeraVe® Moisturizing Lotion is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association’s Skin Health Program and recommended by the Dermatology Review Panel. It is uniquely formulated to increase the skin’s ability to attract, hold and distribute moisture. It penetrates deeply into the skin barrier to restore the balance of essential lipids. This helps keep the skin barrier intact so it can limit moisture loss.

CeraVe® Moisturizing Lotion has the advantages of patented MVE® delivery technology, which provides a long term moisturizing benefit to moisturize and nourish skin throughout the day while “locking in” precious moisture. CeraVe® Moisturizing Lotion spreads easily and smoothly, absorbs rapidly and never feels greasy. It contains three ceramides, cholesterol and essential fatty acids that help replenish the skin barrier with vital lipids. It is ideal for larger areas of the body but can also be used on the face. It is noncomedogenic (does not cause pimples or acne by clogging pores) and is non-irritating and fragrance-free. CeraVe® Moisturizing Lotion is safe for use for all ages.

Skin Cancer Facts

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. It is also one of the most preventable.
One in every three cancers diagnosed worldwide is a skin cancer.
Over 80,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in Canada each year, more than 5,000 of which are melanoma, the mostly deadly form of skin cancer.
Canadians born in the 1990s have two to three times higher lifetime risk of getting skin cancer (1 in 6) than those born in the 1960s (1 in 20).
There are more new cases of skin cancer each year than the number of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers COMBINED!
A single severe sunburn in childhood may double one’s risk of developing melanoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma appears to be related to cumulative sun exposure (even on a chronic low dose basis – so you don’t need to get a sunburn to increase your risk!!).
The use of artificial tanning beds has been associated with a significant increase in the risk of melanoma.

Skin Cancer Prevention

Skin cancer is preventable. By practicing sun safety and avoiding the use of tanning beds you can prevent skin cancer in yourself and in your children.

To be sun safe:

Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or any time the UV Index is 3 or higher.
Cover arms and legs with loose-fitting, tightly woven and lightweight clothing.
Wear a wide-brim hat to protect head, face, neck and ears.
Stay in the shade – under trees, awnings or umbrellas and away from reflected UV rays.
Wear sunglasses with UV protection of 400, block 99% of UVA and UVB, and wrap around your eyes to protect the sides of your eyes.

If you have to be out in the sun:

use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
apply at least 20 minutes before going into the sun and reapply every 2 or 3 hours.
reapply after swimming or perspiring.
apply generously to ensure the creation of a barrier between the sun’s rays and your skin.
be sure to reach under the edges of your clothing, the back of your neck, your ears and other places that are often missed or forgotten.
And remember – these precautions are important all year round when the sun’s rays bounce off the snow, sand, water and even concrete!
