ANEW Skin Care - Part 3 (The Finale)


In the first two installments of this Skin Care training, I wrote about the Avon Skin Care Institute and the innovative products it has produced over the past 40 years. I also discussed skin type, the things that cause damage to your skin, the ages and stages of skin, and the beauty of a good skin regimen. In this last installment, we'll learn about the Anew products themselves and you will be able to determine which Anew line is best for your skin care needs. I'll also give information on the treatment products in the Anew Clinical line. As in the previous two posts, this information is gleaned from an Anew Skin Care training guide produced by Avon.

ANEW: The Anti-Aging Expert

For over 20 years, Anew has launched some of the most effective treatments to dramatically transform skin and visibly erase years for a beautiful, younger-looking complexion. There are 4 different skin care lines under the Anew name, and another line of treatment products called Anew Clinical. Each basic line has an eye treatment, a day cream, a night cream, and a cleanser. (In addition, the Reversalist line has a day lotion and an Express Wrinkle Smoother Compact which are not featured here.) There are 12 different treatment products for the face in the Anew Clinical line.

ANEW Skin Care - Part 2

In my last post I introduced you to the Avon Skincare Institute and some of the innovations that Avon has made in skin care over the past 40 years. In this post I continue with information about skin care and its benefits.*

7 Sins for Skin

Although skin starts aging the moment you're born, the signs
generally don't start appearing until you're around 30.
while you can't stop skin from aging completely, 
you can keep it looking youthful longer. 
Here are 7 things to keep in mind.

1. The Sun:  Aging specifically caused by UV rays is called photo-aging. Sun exposure dries skin, thickens the epidermis, and slows down cell renewal, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. You should avoid spending long periods of time in the sun and wear sunscreen daily.

2. Smoking: Smoking deprives skin of nutrients and oxygen, leaving it looking dull and lifeless. Smoking also causes harmful free radicals, which weaken collagen and elasticity, accelerating the aging process.

3. Stress and Lack of Sleep:  Stress and lack of sleep can lead to dryness, sensitivity, acne, excess oil, or lackluster skin. Getting enough restorative sleep is vital to give your skin time to repair and rejuvenate.

4. Pollution:  Pollutants in the air coat skin with grime that can block pores. Free radicals can break down skin's structure, leading to wrinkles, roughness, dehydration, and loss of elasticity.

5. Facial Expressions:  The 15,000 facial expressions you make every day can damage skin. Frowning, smiling, squinting -- the constant movement of facial muscles causes skin fibers to slacken. Over time, these creases become wrinkles. 

6. Everyday Diet:  Fast food, sugar, and empty calories can wreck your waistline and your skin. The more nutrient dense your diet is, the healthier your skin will be. Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.

7. Sleep Positions:  The way you sleep can increase the appearance of wrinkles. Side sleeping can cause lines on your chin and cheeks. Sleeping face down can create lines on your forehead. Sleeping on your back is the best way to prevent lines. 



Skin Ages & Stages

Everyone tends to age differently, 
depending on your genetics, lifestyle and overall health.
However, there are visible signs that are common 
for every age range and stage of life.

30s - EARLY  
  • Skin begins to lose its natural radiance, looking more tired, stressed and dull. 
  • Gradual loss of clarity, resulting in uneven skin tone.
  • Skin repairs itself at a slower rate and dryness may increase.
40s - MODERATE
  • Fine lines appear along with visible photo damage.
  • Signs of fine lines near the eyes.
  • Some loss of elasticity.
  • Skin repair and hydration continue to decrease.
50+ - ADVANCED
  • More wrinkles, roughness, discoloration, and unevenness appear.
  • Pores and age spots enlarge, along with sagging around eyes, cheeks, and jawline. 
  • Skin repair and hydration significantly decrease.
  • Epidermis gets thinner.

I have found in my 28 years as an Avon representative that most of my skin care customers are in their 50s and beyond, but as you can see, you should definitely begin to be concerned about your skin care regimen by the time you are in your 30s.


The Beauty of a Skin Care Regimen

Following a consistent skin care routine is the best way
to achieve radiant results everyone will notice.
Luckily, it's as simple as these four steps.

Step 1Cleanse:  Cleansing skin helps eliminate excess oil, debris, and makeup while refreshing skin. Thoroughly wash with your Anew cleanser and gently rinse with warm water.

Step 2Treat:  Concentrated and powerful, treatments deliver results targeted toward specific skin concerns. Apply your Anew Clinical treatment to dry skin after cleansing.

Step 3.  Moisturize:  A day moisturizer with SPF hydrates and helps protect against sun damage, while night creams help repair and rejuvenate. Apply your Anew moisturizer by using small, firm circular movements, taking care to avoid the delicate eye area.

Step 4.  Eye:  Designed to work for the eye area, Anew eye creams help correct the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, sagging, or crow's-feet. Use your ring finger (your weakest finger) to gently apply cream, starting at the inner corner of the eye, moving outward, and then above the eye and below the brow. 

Skin Care Tips:  
  • Wash your hands before applying products to avoid transfer of bacteria.
  • Always apply serums and moisturizers on cleansed, dry skin. When using both, apply serum first. 
  • Apply creams in circular movements on face and use a gentle tapping motion around eyes.
  

In Anew Skin Care - Part 3, I will conclude this series with more detailed information about the Anew Product Line so that you are well informed and able to select the products that best treat your skin care concerns.

ANEW Skin Care Guide - Part 1

Do you want to outsmart aging? You need to know the right regimen to use. There are four Avon Anew skin care systems available* and I feel certain that you will be able to find the one that is perfect for your skin care needs with the information I'll provide you in the next three posts. Your skin can be transformed by using Anew's high-performance and technology-driven skin care.**

Channeling 40 Years of Expertise into Skin Care that Makes a Beautiful Difference 

Avon is at the forefront of skin care innovation with state-of-the-art research & development labs spanning six continents, hundreds of scientists, nearly 600 patents or patents pending, and partnerships with top universities and dermatologists.

At the Avon Skincare Institute, we relentlessly pursue the best in technology and formulation for high-performance skin care that delivers a beautiful difference for you. For example, did you know that:
  • In 1992, with the introduction of Anew, Avon was the first brand to the mass market with Alpha Hydroxy Acid technology? 
  • Avon was first to use injectable grade ingredients in their skin care products?
  • Avon was first to stabilize Vitamin A and Concentrated Vitamin C into skin care products?
Beauty is More than Skin Deep

Skin is the body's largest organ, and if you treat it with care, it will keep you looking and feeling your best. Not only does skin cover you from head to toe, it is made up of much more than what you see on the surface. As you may recall from your science classes in school, skin is made up of 3 distinct layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis. The epidermis is the outer layer and it is where visible signs of aging appear. The middle layer of skin is the dermis and it is where collagen and elastin are produced. The hypodermis is the bottom layer and consists of subcutaneous fat containing blood vessels and nerves. 

Start by Knowing Your Skin Type

Normal: 
  • Clear appearance
  • Even coloring
  • Neither tight nor greasy
  • Soft and supple, high degree of elasticity
Dry: 
  • Irritated and tight after cleansing
  • Often looks flaky
  • Tendency toward fine lines and wrinkling
Combination:
  • Dryness on cheeks and a shiny appearance on nose and forehead (T-zone)
  • Medium-sized pores
  • May experience some tightness
 Oily:
  • Shiny appearance and enlarged pores
  • Rough or irregular feel
  • Prone to blackheads and blemishes

Now that you have determined your particular skin type, you are ready to learn what causes damage to your skin and how to work to counteract that damage. I'll cover the 7 Sins for Skin, Skin Ages & Stages, and The Beauty of a Skin Regimen in my next post.

*There is a 5th system available as well, ANEW Men, for men who want to protect their skin as well as bring it into better condition.

Fireworks Display Days!!

I received this notification in an email from my DSM this week: "Your Fireworks DVM, Lori Ballantine, and your District Sales Managers are challenging you to recruit at local events (or events you create) the weekend of Friday, June 12 –Sunday, June 14. We are on a mission to change lives with the Avon Earning Opportunity! We're calling this Fireworks Displays Days."

Since my schedule for this weekend will not permit me time to set up a booth at an event but I still want to accept the challenge, I'm doing my Fireworks Display online. If you have any interest is learning more about making extra income with an Avon business, go here to read the details and then get in contact with me by calling 256-479-4061 or emailing me at smeeavon@hotmail.com. I'll be able to meet with people who are in my local area, but if you are not in the Madison/Limestone County area of North Alabama, you can still join my team. Look at the details at the link above and then go here to get started online. The cost is the same, the kit is the same, you'll still be added to my team of Cloud Climbers, and I'll work with you to develop a successful Avon business. 

So...are you ready to step out of your comfort zone and start making more money? Let's get those fireworks going!!

Cloud Climbers C12 Newsletter

 (This is the newsletter I send to my team members each campaign.)

Greetings fellow Cloud Climbers! And haven't we had some beautiful cloudscapes to enjoy this week? I'm always wanting to stop the car to take a picture and often I do just that. I've got a Facebook friend who is a fellow cloud lover and we share pictures with each other.

I hope you have all received your C12 orders by now. I had forgotten about the delay in delivery because of Memorial Day so I was surprised to see the UPS truck zip right past my house on Friday. Of course, as soon as it happened the reason came to my mind. I didn't get deliveries started until yesterday, though, so I have quite a few to get done today and tomorrow.

 
Top Ten in Sales for C12


 1. Rene Parker   PC
 2. Darren Mannahan
 3. Brenda Taylor
 4. Mary Silcott
 5. Kimberly Moore   (NEW)
 6. Susanne Walters   PC
 7. Steffanie Erdelt
 8. Ruby Nunnery
 9. Patsy Cloud
10. Gladys Faulk 


Sales have slowed down a little for most of you, as only the top eight of those listed above had sales over $150. I imagine part of the problem is the end of the school year activities for many people, including our customers. I hope sales will pick up with this campaign, especially with the need for Bug Guard as people start getting outdoors more.

Once again we had three Cloud Climbers with online sales at their eStores this past campaign, but it was a different three: Susanne Walters, Ashley Baldwin, and Benetta Staten. Congratulations ladies! Keep promoting those websites, as there are many people who simply prefer to order their products online these days, even when they live in our local area. I was just emailing with one of my own customers who lives in Madison but prefers to shop online for direct delivery from Avon. People who choose direct delivery can request that Avon send them a free brochure, but I still drop off an Avon book now and then when I'm working in their area if they have not placed an order in awhile.

Kimberly Moore earned a bundle of samples for having $100 in orders during her first campaign in the Hit 100! Challenge. She has also banked $20 as part of that challenge. Keep up the good work, Kimberly!! You can earn again in C13 with another $100 in orders.

My biggest challenge for this campaign has been that I am now eligible to receive leads from ALMA and they have started coming faster than I expected. Some days I will get two or three of them. So why is my team not growing rapidly you may ask? Because most ALMA leads are from people who are not genuinely interested in becoming Avon representatives.
I hate to say that is the case, but it is what it is. I think many of them are just "applying for jobs" with Avon as a way to report to government agencies that they are applying for jobs and keep benefits coming. Either that or they do it to try to beat the system in some other way that I'm not aware of. Some of them will even pay the $15 and start themselves in business without ever having the intention to even attempt to sell Avon products. I've done many appointments in person through the years where I felt like I was probably wasting my time, and many times I was right. One of the weirdest was appointing a beautiful young girl who could have done great as a representative, but she could not even give me a good address for products to be shipped to as she was between residences, moving to another state, had no source of income but still had just come from the nail salon to meet with me, etc. Naturally, I was never to hear from her again and she never turned in an order. That brings to mind several of the other "dud" appointments I have done through the years. Oh, the stories I could tell. How about the lady who kept her TV on loudly, answered the phone as we got started, and told the person she was talking to "I'm here signing up for this Mary Kay." Oh yeah, that happened. I knew that appointment was going nowhere. ;)

However, every lead must be followed up on in several ways and for several days before they can be either appointed, self-appoint, or be reported as not interested. All of that takes time and effort and I do it knowing that much of the time and effort is for naught. BUT, our team will eventually end up with a few gems like all of you great Cloud Climbers, so that is why I do what I do. :) :)  In fact, two of my ALMA leads did self appoint, and I'm happy to welcome Ashley Dominguez of Madison, Tenn., and Latisha Slack of Nashville, Tenn., to our team. I'm working with both of them virtually to help them get off to a great start with Avon. Ashley and Latisha, I hope you are ready to work, because you can have fun while building a good business if you have the desire to do so and will put forth the required effort.

Susanne Walters and I were supposed to have a vendor booth at the Simply Southern Extravaganza Hornets' Nest Market Place at Highland Rim Elementary School in Fayetteville last Saturday, but the event was postponed due to rain that was expected to come that day. I don't think it rained until about 5:00 that evening and that was a brief shower, but rain was predicted and the call had to be made in advance, so there you go. We are to do it in August now. If you know of any vendor events that are going on this summer and you would like to have a booth at one just let me know. I have the tent, tables, chairs, table covers, etc., and will work with you. We can share the expense of the booth, and any recruits we got would be yours. Recruits that you contact face to face are generally likely to be good ones.
If you still haven't visited my blog, I hope that you will go to www.cloudclimbingbeauty.com and take a look. Strangely enough, most of the recent visitors to the blog have been from the Ukraine. I understand they have Avon reps. in the Ukraine, but I don't know why I'm getting viewers from there. Help me build up my presence in the USofA by visiting the site if just for a few moments!  Thank you in advance for your support. Do you have any news to report that I can share with our team? I'll be happy to report weddings, births, work promotions, good tips, anything you want to celebrate. Give me content to help make these newsletters interesting.

That's it for now. Have a great rest of the week. Oh, and don't forget to watch the new installment of WebTV that you will see on the YA homepage. Here's a great cloudscape with a few motivational words for you.






Until next time,

Sandra Moore, 

Cloud Climbers Unit Leader

What's on the "To Do" list for today? A lot!


Good day to you! 

As an Independent Avon Sales Representative, I get to set my own hours and work from my own home. Today is Monday, and I usually spend Mondays working on restoring the house to order after the weekend activities of my family and getting the laundry done, along with some computer work for my business and grading World Bible School lessons that might have come through online. It's almost noon now, and I'm making good progress on those tasks as well as getting some Care Bears painted and ready to be sewn so that I meet my personal goal of having 25 of those ready to be given to children at the emergency rooms of nearby hospitals by the end of the month.

Here is my home "office" from where I type these blog posts and take care of pretty much all the computer and phone work for my Avon business.



The whole family uses this work station, but I use it the most, and this nice computer desk was well worth the investment I made in it about 14 years ago.

Ordinarily, I would not be sorting Avon products today, as my Avon orders are generally delivered by UPS on Fridays. However, due to the Memorial Day Holiday last week, UPS deliveries were delayed by a day, which made my order come in today. It is sitting in my living room right now awaiting my completion of that task. I have my two portable tables set up in the living room to use for sorting the order and labeling brochures. I sure am thankful to have those two tables, and they much used - for sorting and labeling, for display of products and materials at events that I do, and for general work on various projects. That is an investment that was also well worth the money! Here is my set up for today.




If you look closely at the picture you will see there are quite a lot of Anew Ultimate Multi-Performance products that came in my shipment today. That's because I took advantage of one of Avon's stock up opportunities due to the fact that I have several loyal Anew Ultimate customers who will love these newly upgraded products. Which brings me to what is on my schedule for tomorrow morning or Wednesday morning...




I'd start on the training today, but getting this order ready to start delivery to my customers comes first. I wouldn't be anywhere in this business without them, so they are another blessing to be thankful for and they must be treated well and not kept waiting.

Well, the dryer has stopped so I must get back to the laundry and then to work on this order, so I'll leave you with one last picture from my life. I'm always trying to get good cloud pictures, and this is one of the best I've gotten! This was taken in Diana, Tennessee, a beautiful place I visit once or twice a year to sing praises to God with some beautiful people. The Diana Singing is coming up in just a few days, so I'll be there again soon, if the Lord wills.
