The Natural Road to a Clear and Oil-Free Complexion By Way of France!

Angie Provost here to bring you the best natural and organic personal beauty products our Mother Earth has to offer us!

I went with two of my best gal pals to make the trek across the pond in our late-twenties. I had just begun a two month relationship with a guy that I was fighting my true feelings about when we took off for Europe. I’m a ‘rules’ girl and was refusing to admit this was the guy I was going to marry. I was desperately trying to be aloof and act like I didn’t care that we were continents apart. Paris, however…had other plans. Strolling down the rue Saint – Honore’ and trying my darndest NOT to look like a gawking American I came across a beautiful Parisian salon with it’s name emblazoned across the front of the building. There it was…the name of my new guy back in California…Franck Provost…elegantly scripted in basic black. Shedding my temporarily adopted European cool I raced across the street and immediately demanded the girls take my picture under the sign (can you say TOURISTE!?!). I took it as a sign and told him I loved him the SECOND the plane landed back in the States. We were married a year later and I still love my Franko to this day.
 
Enter in one of the most elegantly French of all things beautiful and Parisian…Decleor Skin Care products. I, in particular love the Decleor Aromessence Ylang Ylang oil treatment. This is the antidote to oily skin. Its blend of essential oils has both purifying and regulating properties. It’s a potent treatment which helps rebalance sebaceous secretion and deep cleanses and brightens congested complexions. I tend to run oily so let me tell you I was VERY skeptical about putting additional OIL on my already GREASE slick of a complexion. Seems like overkill to me. However, I did the research, read the reviews and decided to trust in the French. And I was SO glad I did. Not only are the aromatherapy properties soothing and a remarkably luxurious way to end my day but it actually DID get my oil production under control! I have NEVER been able to go several hours without reapplying powder until I began using this gorgeous product. I only use it at night and just a little goes a long way but I will not be without this for as long as my skin remains OHH-LA-LA clear, soft, and ultra luminous!

For all of you other skin-type girls out there…there is a Decleor natural Aromessence Oil for you too! The Visage Angelique is perfect for dry or dehydrated skin, Neroli compliments regular skin to combination, Rose de Orient pampers sensitive skin, and Aromessence Iris energizes and redefines mature skin.
 
Well, I’m taking my gorgeous-looking French inspired skin off to a boulevard cafe for some fine French champagne with my distantly French husband. It doesn’t get any better than that!

About angie.provost

I grew up in the small Northern California town of Weed, on the North side of California's largest active volcano...Mount Shasta.  I was raised by a wonderful single mother whom at an early age taught me the importance of caring for our bodies with natural and organic foods and products, the benefits of holisitic health, and the responsibility we have as humans to care for our Mother Earth.  It was a joy to grow up in this area of unparalleled natural beauty and immediate access to all of the splendors of the Shasta Cascade National forest.  I've carried my love of nature and our earth with me throughout my life and owe this to my mother and to my hometown of which I'm immensely proud.

Life has landed me in Roseville, California...now married to my wonderful husband Frank and our two beautiful children Joshua and Samantha and dogs Harley and Roxy.  Though I live in the suburbs now I still carry my love for the mountains and nature in my heart and find myself most happy when I journey back up north for a visit with my family.  I am blessed to be extremely close to my mother, my stepfather, my sister and my three lifelong best friends of nearly 30 years.  I cherish them all and derive great comfort and support from their love.  My biggest supporter is my husband, whom champions my love of writing and urges me at all junctions to pursue this creative outlet.  He believes in me and enables me to believe in myself.  With this love and support I began writing a weekly column for megsmakeup.com entitled "Green Chi Tuesdays".  I try and review natural and organic beauty products and report back my honest opinions.  It has been a weekly source of delight for me and I thoroughly enjoy sharing the knowledge I've gained with others.  I will continue to write in any venue available and hope to change my life on a base level by living my dream to write as a career.
 
I am very proud to have this column featured here on Intent.com.  As I meander through the website I find myself submerged in a pool of like minded and wonderful people.  I truly see this opportunity as a growth mechanism for me both spiritually and creatively and look forward to living my intent.  To me, there is no greater gift I can give my children than the knowledge that we can always strive to be a better person today than we were yesterday.  I look forward to the journey
