What makes Merlot Moisturizer a natural wonder?

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Nicole Beckley

When we talk about the Merlot Skin Care line’s signature product, Merlot Moisturizer, we often talk about one thing: natural antioxidants. These natural antioxidants work to protect the skin against environmental damage (smog, pollution, harmful UV rays) and stress.

Where do these antioxidants come from? Merlot products use red grape seeds. What’s so special about red grape seeds? Found to be 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 25 times more powerful than Vitamin C, red grape seed antioxidants fight against free radicals – the particles that routinely damage our skin.

By providing antioxidant protection, Merlot Moisturizer helps inhibit the appearance of aging, providing a more youthful, healthy look.

In addition to grape seed extract, the Merlot Moisturizer formula utilizes aloe vera to help protect skin from UV damage. Aloe vera works to moisturize and hydrate skin while offering cooling and soothing properties. Hydrated skin is healthy skin!

Merlot Moisturizer has become a go-to product for those with sensitive skin thanks to its fragrance-free and non-irritating formula. Matricaria Flower (also known as chamomilla recutita) helps reduce redness. Its anti-inflammatory properties keep Merlot Moisturizer working gently and effectively.

My Daily Beauty Routine: Olivia Hamm, Professional Model

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

For my personal day-to-day look, I always aim for fresh-faced and simple. I like to keep things natural with light makeup that enhances my features. When choosing beauty products, I look for what will bring out the best in my skin, not cover it up.

For both my morning and evening skin care routine I go through the same procedure. I always begin by washing my face with just water to remove any leftover makeup. Then I wash my face using (1) First Crush 3-in-1 Acne/Blemish Treatment. This product is great because it cleanses, tones, and treats my skin all in one wash, saving me a lot of time and steps to get the same results. Also, it’s super light and smells so good!

Once I’ve washed off the cleanser and have patted my face dry, my last step is to moisturize using the (2) Merlot Grape Seed Moisturizer. This provides a perfect finish to my freshly-cleansed skin. What’s great about the Grape Seed Moisturizer is that I only have to use a small amount to get great results. It’s perfectly light and smooth, and it leaves my skin feeling soft all day long. One container lasts me months, so I have no problem keeping my dry skin under control.

I use a (3) Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation made by Neutrogena. I love it because the powder lets my skin breathe rather then clogging it up. I absolutely love mascara. My go-to is (4) Loreal’s Voluminous Million Lashes mascara. For lips I love (5) Burt’s Bees Lip Balm.

It’s always fun for me to try new styles and experiment with my hair! I love (6) Herbal Essences products – they work well with my hair and always leave it smelling so nice.

I like to change scents with the seasons throughout the year. This past summer, I used (7) Coconut Water Chill by Bath & Body Works and I loved it! It’s very light and cool; my perfect summer scent. Now that it’s autumn, I just started using Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, also from Bath & Body Works. I am always looking to experiment with new scents.

For The Modern Bride: Party Favors

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

Every bride-to-be has a pre-wedding day checklist a mile long. Coordinating the caterers, music, color scheme, venue, guest list — it can be tough getting every little detail covered.

And what about all the little thank-you gifts for the ladies that help you along the way? From planning showers and parties to helping with fittings, there are always people you need a little something for.

Over the past couple of years we’ve had people tell us that they’re including Merlot products — like Merlot Moisturizer or Merlot Eye Cream — in their wedding goodie bags, or as thank-yous for their bridal party members. Both of these products offer a bit of pampering to busy wedding guests.

After all, everyone wants their skin to look radiant in wedding photos!

Summer Solutions: After-Sun Care

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

The dog days of summer are officially upon us, and if you’re hiking, biking, swimming, or just soaking up some rays, at the end of a day outdoors, your skin can use some extra care.

When we’re in the sun for an extended period of time, age spots – darker brown or black spots – can begin to appear on our skin, often on our faces, hands, and arms. While these generally aren’t dangerous, they can often create a blotchy, aged appearance.

There are three Merlot products that can help counteract these effects, and help restore skin’s youthful glow.

Merlot Hand Cream Plus Sanitizer – Not only does this lotion help soften hands while protecting them from germs, the formula also fights against age spots, keeping hands looking young.

Merlot Anti-Wrinkle Cream – Containing 11 Amino Acids, this formula works to repair skin by stimulating its collagen production and building its firmness.

Merlot Moisturizer – Keep skin protected daily. Merlot Moisturizer absorbs into skin instantly to hydrate and help heal.

So, after a day on the beach, at the park, or working in the yard, show your skin some love with a little Merlot.
