A sea of beautiful people united this past weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre at the event of the season – America’s Next Top Model Live Canada!

In the sad case that you missed this awesome event, you’re in luck! Clean Start was on the scene and we’ve got all the deets on what made this event totally fabulous! Our pink t-shirt clad Clean Start crew was there in full force making sure everyone was Paparazzi prepped for their moment of fame in front of the cameras in the spotlight!

Our booth was fully equipped with all the essential skin health tools, retail products and samples, water bottles (8 glasses of water a day = hydrated skin!) and most importantly, knowledge! We had our team of professional skin therapists talking skin health and giving all the best advice on how to take care of your skin. From keeping clean by cleansing, toning for hydration, to taking care of issues – like zit zapping and protecting with SPF moisturizing for daylight defense!

Our rad Clean Start Skin Coach Leala gave an amazing presentation on-stage informing everyone of tips and tricks on how to get your best skin ever!

Here are some of the other show highlights that topped our list:

- Karl Wolf rocked the stage and had us bellowing Africa out loud

- We couldn’t resist testing out Bio Seaweed Gel’s healthy choice for your natural nails – as if our booth needed to be any more colourful…

- PROJEXTZ DANCE CREW “Toronto’s Best Dance Crew” made us want to put on our pumped up kicks and bust a serious move 

- Emerging music artist, James Mabee had us humming along to his mellow, Jason Mraz-esque sounding tunes

- Last but not least, Canadian Fashion legend Jeanie Beker enamoured us by sharing tales of her years of experience and incredible work in the International Fashion Journalism Industry

All in all a fantastic show – we hope you had a chance to stop by, say hi, ask questions/get answers and join in the Clean Start party! Drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook and let us know what you loved – we always love to hear from you!

Don’t let final exams, parties and family get-togethers take a toll on your health! Follow our advice for a stress-free holiday season.

maintain your exercise routine
Think there’s no time to take that spinning class? An hour of your day spent in the gym may be just what your mind needs to stay sharp for studying, and is a great way to blow off steam triggered by a busy schedule. Even if you think you don’t have time, make the time – your body and mind will feel better post-sweat!

get organized
Create a list of things you need to do before and over the holidays, include important dates and top priorities. Have checklists ready for events you’re throwing for friends and your overnight bag packed with essentials when attending holiday sleepover. Be sure to include the Clean Start™ Hello Hottie mini skin care kit, which includes perfect travel sizes of Wash off (50ml), Ready, Set, Scrub! (15m0) and Welcome Matte SPF15 (15ml).

don’t spend a fortune
Gifts from the heart mean so much more than a bag or outfit you just can’t afford. If you like to bake, create little gift boxes filled with homemade, healthy granola bars for friends. Feeling crafty? Create box sets of gift cards to give to your family!

keep your skin in check
Holiday stress can trigger everything from oiliness to breakouts. Don’t forget to cleanse/tone/moisturize every morning and night to keep skin balanced and clear of imperfections. Check out our brand new Clean Start™ BYE BYE breakout kit, receive Wash Off (180ml) for FREE when you purchase All Over Clear (120ml) an Bedtime for Breakouts (60ml).

help the host
If you’re party-hopping this holiday season, offer to help the host with any last-minute preparations. This can mean anything from helping to set the table to bringing your own healthy side dish.

take a breather
Don’t feel pressured to spend every moment with family and friends. Take a 10-minute walk after dinner before diving into dessert. Visit your favorite tea and coffee spot for a moment or two away from the activities. Offer to pick up a forgotten item from the store. The time away will give you peace of mind!

Halloween – the one night of the year when:

• You get to be creatively over-the-top Gaga-style and it’s fully acceptable.
• When Edward Cullen might actually be around the corner to rescue you, or at lease stare at you awkwardly with his memorizing eyes.
• When you get to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a mountain of sugar to the point of making yourself sick.

We’re totally with you on this one, Halloween ROCKS! Thankfully we’re here to help you with the haunting Halloween after-math.

POST TRAUMATIC LAST-MINUTE COSTUME CRISIS

Stress acts as a trigger for the factors that contribute to acne development including excess oiliness. This constant, continued and heightened level of stress throws adrenal glands into overdrive. This excess oil sets the stage for acne development. Say goodbye to breakouts with Bedtime for Breakouts. Apply before bed, after cleansing and toning. The salicylic acid prevents breakouts by naturally unclogging the follicle and the added cooling cucumber and soothing licorice help lull redness away.

REMOVING THE MOUNTAINS OF COSTUME MAKEUP PLASTERED ON YOUR SKIN

If you accidently fell asleep due to a sugar-coma (don’t worry we address this concern next) without removing the layers upon layers of costume make up… we will forgive you, but just this once! Cleanse with Wash Off to remove all dirt and makeup and definitely don’t forget to exfoliate with Ready, Set, Scrub! – it lifts dulling cells that can leave skin uneven, while purifying clays deep-clean pores to control shine.

SUGAR-COMA RECOVERY

Diet is a huge factor of skin health, but how can you say no to Rockets, Jolly Ranchers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Tootsie Rolls…(I could go on for days). Sugar is known to spike adrenal gland activity and thus can lead to breakouts. A daily and nightly skin care regimen can help keep fluctuations in check — so can touch-ups throughout the day! Get the Clean Start Kit containing grab-and-go sizes of Wash Off, All Over Clear, Ready, Set, Scrub!, Bedtime for Breakouts and Welcome Matte SPF15.

Happy Hallow’s Eve!

H²0 needs to be your bestie this summer – so drink your daily 8 to ensure healthier skin, hair, nails, weight and better digestion! Water helps flush out toxins, carry nutrients through the body, and is known to improve blood circulation. All these things keep skin looking awake and fresh. Hydrated skin is also less prone to breakouts and brings balance to skin that’s either too oily or too dry.

Stay hydrated and do it in fabulous fashion with a Clean Start reusable water bottle!
