A tip for the tip of your…nose!

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Before I ever started using the Wonderbar, I could be found in Sephora once a month digging for something…anything, to help reduce the size of my pores. I had a little rosacea happening which only made my pores look more pronounced. Using expensive products like Murad and Obagi made my skin look healthier for sure, but NOTHING helped with the redness and PORES. Then the Wonderbar came along. It was immediate. Redness and pores were drastically reduced. If you happened to be in the Houston area at the time, I think you might have heard me screaming from the rooftops about this amazing Wonderbar. I was selling it out of my car because it was all I could talk about. People just rolled their eyes when they saw me coming. :)

Flash forward two years and here we are. I still use the Wonderbar every day, and I wanted to share my latest Wonderbar trick. My skin is balanced, so the need for powder is minimal. I only dust some on my nose if my sun block is making it shiny. I ran out of powder last week, though, so I decided to just wet the bar and dab that on my nose instead. To my surprise and amusement, it ended up having the exact same effect as the powder- a little coverage, a matte finish AND it made my drastically reduced pores look even smaller than before. I just leave it on all day without needing to reapply. How easy is that? Try it and share your results…and if you have any other Wonderbar tips, share those too! We love hearing from you!!

Sephora’s nine “Best Sellers” in skincare all add up in their abilities to….well….ONE little Wondrous-bar!

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

beauty-products-730472

The nine “top-selling” skincare products on the Sephora website claim to each do one or more of the following things:

fade pigmentation, shrink pores, improve clarity, treat acne, control oil and blemishes, improve appearance of age-related skin issues, reduce stretch marks, restore elasticity, firm and tone skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, moisturize, conquer skin damage……

They might do some of these things, but NONE of them do it all at the same time.  Which means of course that you aren’t getting out the door without two, three or even four products!  That is actually fine for some, people do like products.  The problem comes in when they spend a lot of time and money and ultimately don’t get the results they are expecting.  At least this is what I’m hearing from our clients.

Also, on the Sephora website, they have a list of ten areas of concern for the face, which can each be clicked on to show multiple product solutions for each area of concern.  They are as follows:

Enlarged blackheads and pores, breakouts and acne, dryness, oiliness, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture, loss of elasticity, redness/ rosacea and sun protection!

Hmmmm, that’s all sounding a little familiar…almost exactly like the Wonderbar, which addresses NINE out of ten of them!  The tenth is sun protection and we just don’t do that- but a simple, effective sun block is easy to find.  SO, you can choose from HUNDREDS of products which may or may not address one or two concerns each, OR you can just buy a Wonderbar and an all-natural moisturizer or sun block and call it a day.

For now, let’s keep it between us that the Wonderbar is also a shampoo and scalp equalizer on top of everything else, we do NOT want to sound like we’re bragging! ;-)

From your head all the way down…to your TOE!

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

The thing is, I am a runner.  I don’t go crazy with it, but I do run around 9 miles per week.  I began to develop this this issue with my large toe.  It was red, swollen and painful and it got worse over the course of about one month.  TO the point that my shoe was hurting me and it was too uncomfortable to run.  I almost wanted to blame it on my ill-fitting wedges that I wore meandering around NYC, but I’ll never know for sure.

SO….because I am aware that people use the Wonderbar for many different types of issues, I decided to try it out on my toe.  I rubbed a little on the side of my toe TWICE.  It completely went away in two days and even when I pushed on the spot where it was so painful, I can’t feel it anymore.  It really seemed to reduce the inflammation and heal my skin.  I don’t know what it was, but it doesn’t matter because it’s GONE.

If you have any skin conditions that you want to get rid of , try it.  Take a picture first and then use the Wonderbar.  If it works and you provide us with before and after pictures, we will send a Wonderbar to you- on us!  We are always hearing new stories about this little miracle-worker…and we can use those stories to help others!

Please, somebody, get that man a Wonderbar!

Did you really think he was just blushing? C’mon, you know someone with rosacea.  We ALL do.  1 in 20 people have it…statistically speaking.  Rosacea is a relatively common disease and is one of the most common dermatological conditions.  It’s estimated that in the United States it affects approximately 14 million Americans! OK, so you know several people who have it and it might even by YOU.  I certainly know one…..ME!  But lately, you’d never know it.

Your dermatologist might tell you that you should continue on with the expensive steroid creams, medications and laser treatments, because there is no known cure for Rosacea.  This is true, there is no known cure.  Still, even after all the expensive treatments, many people still say that they continue to have flare-ups.  Surprisingly, the Wonderbar has been helping people manage their Rosacea as well, if not better, than some of their Dermatologist’s recommendations…..and only at a fraction of the cost!  We think that is pretty exciting.

If you are scared to try something new because your skin is too “sensitive” or if you have already decided that nothing is going to help, you might reconsider.  We have many happy customers who had those doubts too, but don’t anymore.  The Wonderbar has really been wowing people with its abilities.

Try one today- shipping on us!

Wonderbar…..a “cult-following potential”? We think so.

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

A skin-refining slab that’s truly wunderbar

Posted Tuesday, December 29, 2009 by Marci Robin Zitner, NewBeauty Senior Online Editor

Every now and then, a new product shows up on my desk, and I can instantly detect its cult-following potential. It had been a while since those alarms went off, but then, the adorable and very aptly named wonderbar arrived.

I have a weird obsession with bars of soap, and before doing my research, I gladly assumed that the wonderbar was just another block o’ cleanser. In my defense, its charmingly unassuming presentation makes that an easy misinterpretation. But even though it lathers and cleanses, the wonderbar is way more than soap. In fact, it’s not soap at all.

There are two key ingredients in the wonderbar: chlorey’nahre and moor. The former is a special algae derivative, and the latter is an expensive Austrian mud (clay) that encompasses the essences of more than 700 herbs. Together, this blend is said to improve skin in almost every conceivable way: firming, minimizing pores, moisturizing, brightening, balancing, softening, fighting free radicals, controlling acne, lightening discoloration, reducing rosacea redness—you name it.

If you’re like me, you’re thinking, There must be a catch. And in fact, there is. Wondeux, the brains behind the wonderbar, are open about that catch, because it’s all part of the beautifying process. The catch is something called the “healing crisis,” a period of true detoxification of the skin that may result in temporary dryness, itching, or a breakout. But once those toxins are out, the next phase is remarkably radiant skin.

Not everyone goes through the “healing crisis,” but knowing my luck, I definitely will. That’s why I haven’t started using it yet—I don’t want to be broken-out on New Year’s Eve! But the very next day, I’ll be making the wonderbar a major part of my skincare regimen, and I’ll keep you updated on my skin’s evolution!

No more throwing money away on costly facials….

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

throwing $

The Wonderbar cleans, exfoliates and nourishes to promote clear, well-hydrated skin, much like a facial.  A facial is the second most popular spa service after the massage.  It is sometimes called “deep-cleansing” or “deep-pore cleansing” because of extractions.  It can be quite costly, especially as a monthly or weekly expense.

The Wonderbar does all of this for your skin every time you use it!  And all for just around a dollar a day……you can’t beat that.

“After using the Wonderbar, I have not needed to exfoliate.  After a good lather and rinse, my skin is soft and smooth, even though there is nothing abrasive in it.  It is super mild.  I have creamy soft baby skin.  I’m not kidding.  And my husband won’t need to hear me nag about getting facials anymore, in fact, it has gotten rid of his rosacea.”  The Beauty Snob, August 2009

Sensitive Skin and Rosacea may have finally met their match…..

Friday, September 4th, 2009

rosacea

I can’t tell you how many friends and clients I have who are scared to try the Wonderbar because they have “sensitive” skin or because they have Rosacea.  Well, we have some news…..The Wonderbar is wonderful for sensitive skin!  It is actually safe on a baby!  The people who have decided to take the plunge and use the Wonderbar have been surprised to find that it is for ALL skin types, even sensitive.  You might have to go through a little healing phase while your skin adjusts, but when your skin becomes balanced, you’ll be so happy!


The other thing is Rosacea.  I was not aware of this added benefit when we first began selling the Wonderbar.   Our clients, though, have made us plenty aware of it and we are very excited.  One man, who has had a bad case of Rosacea for several years, just came into the store in Austin and bought FOUR bars!  I guess if you find something that works, you stock up.  As he put it, he has never before found a product that quite knocked out his Rosacea like this….or even close.


SO, before you close your mind to the Wonderbar for Rosacea and sensitive skin, think about how great it would be to just have ONE product, non-toxic, inexpensive and simple to use, to help manage your skin issues.
