"Who doesn't want a Face Lift in a Bottle!?"

Everyone wants the perfect solution to effortlessly perfect skin.



Well many have found it in Soyaskin's Vitamin C Face Lift SerumThis is the media lauded face lift in a bottle. It was titled one of the best face primers by professional make up artists because of it's extreme instant smoothing and tightening qualities (see us on CTV's Marilyn Dennis Show). Vitamin C is proven to improve skin's tone and texture as well as fight acne and clear blemish spots. Soy is brightening and anti aging. Soy is biologically an anti-inflammatory and therefore naturally anti-aging by nature of action. It is locally grown and ethically harvested for your Soyaskin products. 

 "I use this after my botox and Juve, it keeps me supple, tight and maintains my cosmetic investment."   -Jordan



Smooth over skin but don't rub it in:  allow the serum to fully absorb into skin. It is important to smile softly while it is absorbing as to exercise the musculature of the face leaving an uplifting effect.

Soyaskin products help you to achieve your skin care goals naturally and with sustainable practices, making skin brighter, clearer, detoxed and youthful. Perfect!

Now on sale. Regular $90 - NOW $65 plus delivery

 "My skin is 1000% better. I had a lot of break outs and Vitamin C Serum has cleared it up. And I will never worry about premature aging skin now."    -Kelly McLeod

Boy Beauty - A philosophy for men's beauty

Boys can be beautiful too. Real men, on the other hand, are effortlessly sophisticated.

When it comes to building character and defining a look, everyone has to start somewhere. Starting with the basics is a good beginning.  Men's basic skin care should be easy and designed to be superpowered skin solutions, able to handle even the most demanding day to day lifestyles in very few steps needed.  Men who travel, play pro sports, are boardroom jockeys, lift heavy junk, haul logs and wear steel toed boots still think about their skin. They put importance on the health of their skin and looks but may not want to take away from the more important things in life like getting out there and having fun. Hell yeah.  That's what modern poets call swagger. But making it look effortless is key.

Some men know that they can have it all - the physique and the feelings.  Guys on their A-game have their effortless skin regime together. And when they do, you can see their beauty in their eyes, laugh lines and all... ladies dig that.


"I like skin products that are multi-tasking and simple but very effective on my skin. I put it on before work and before I go out.  I takes seconds but really makes a difference."      
-   Barry Dette


MEN'S 10 SECOND BEAUTY TIP #1:  Hydrate your skin.  Don't be lazy. Throw some non-comedogenic facial moisturizer on your skin and reveal that manly glow.  Don't stretch your skin when applying. Task duration: 5-6 seconds to apply

MEN'S 10 SECOND BEAUTY TIP #2: Wear a matte vegetable-based lip balm.  I didn't say gloss, I said 'matte' (hint hint - check yourself). Choose an appropriate balm that can be applied on cheeks as well on a particularly windy or crisp days.  Soya and coconut based balms with a little shea butter are the best.  Task duration: 7.5 seconds to apply

Capture Your Beauty Now - Melani Chong for Soyaskin Organic Skin Care


Resolution Revolution 2014

It's a new year and that is exciting on many levels.  A new year brings new outlooks, bigger goals, fresh energy and the drive to become a better person with resolute.  Why set yourself up for failure with extreme annual resolutions when you can set off on a personal path for life change? It doesn't have to be drastic nor severe nor does it need to be achieved within this year. Life change is for life, it's gradual, it's perpetual.

Agree with yourself to like yourself more. Everyday, come up with one small, different thing about yourself and your world that you like. For example, "I like my hair colour", "I'm a good whistler", "I like my wrinkles" and "...hey, that little scar on my forehead is actually really cute".  And if you don't like it, learn to like it, or take steps to change it. A little self love goes a long way and the residual benefits of self love is that it makes you a better lover all 'round.  Blow away all the naysayers, haters and negative love-suckers. Love yourself, love your life, find success, be positive and optimistic (but not unrealistically dumb).

My philosophy: Beauty comes from the inside-out and it is attainable for everyone. Self love is contagious - feel it!!

Winter Skin Prep

I spend a lot of time outside in the snow.  I love to take advantage of the endless Canadian landscape and the ski hill as much as possible.  It's important to think ahead and protect your exposed skin when going about in the great outdoors.  Enjoy your time with your family - without dermal discomfort from the wind and plummeting temperatures.

soyaskinsnow
Windburn cheeks, chapped lips and raw, nipped skin from the cold can be painful and damaging to outer skin tissue causing dryness, itchiness, and sometimes even blistering.  It's important to use skin loving nourishing balms and a non-clogging cream to create a layer of occlusion.  This creates a protective layer from environmental exposure and provides nourishment to the active skin.  More serious cases of environmental exposure from the cold will result in effects only to the surface of the skin and not to the deep dermal layers. Tip: In the winter, wash your face with a soapless milk cleanser or a mild foaming cleanser, while your skin is still damp and before you skin is totally dry, apply a light nourishing moisturizer evenly across your face and neck (men too!). Smile while and after you do this as you will constantly train your muscles to stay uplifted (plus it just resonates good karma all 'round).  Then apply a protective balm layer over your T zone; the cheeks, across forehead, chin, lips and vulnerable spots to the wind.

In the weeks leading up to your winter frolicking, prepping your skin can save it's suppleness and maintain a youthful glow year after year.  Don't wait too long to have a post summer facial.  A fall facial will reveal a renewed cellular layer of skin and help hinder superficial lines.  Begin to use moisturizer on the regular, even to compliment your light and uplifting serum ritual.

Extended exposure to wind and a vast change in humidity will cause skin changes, sometimes holding on to the external layers of skin.  Wind can cause drying and slight thickening of the fine outer layer skin, so it's best to slough off these extra dead skin cells before the further winter dehydration occurs.  The outer layer of your skin feeds from the inner tissue layers, so if your outer cells are nourished and protected from the harsh climate that can deplete moisture, the less it will intrinsically leach nutrients from within; keeping up healthy skin colour, circulation and strength.  So, add these practices to your winter regimen and some skin care tools to your ski bags and balms in your family's ski jacket pockets.  They will love you for it, and so will their skin!
