What is Sensitive Skin?
Do you have Sensitive Skin?
A lot of people self-diagnose as having sensitive skin without knowing what it truly means. So who really has sensitive skin? While there is no official definition, a patient should not diagnose themselves as such unless they have ever suffered from eczema, rosacea, or another clinical skin condition by a dermatologist. For those who are now questioning their self-diagnosis, consider the times you break out- testing a new product, changing diet, and lacking sleep are all common causes of break outs for any type of skin. For those who have suffered from a skin condition at any stage of life, read on to hear a sensitive skin patient’s experience:
“While I was growing up, my mom always told me I had sensitive skin. She said when I was a baby I would break out in eczema patches which, according to her, were caused by having naturally dry skin and inheriting my dad’s allergies. Most of my life I haven’t had to think about my eczema, but that changed in my late teens and early twenties. After surviving puberty, my main focus was on clearing up my cystic acne. Once my skin cleared up, I started to want to experiment with makeup and started to watch all these instructional YouTube beauty videos. I inevitably went out and bought the drugstore products they were recommending, and had much different results than were advertised. After testing out one of the top selling drugstore mascaras, I broke out in dry, itchy eczema patches on the most tender part of my face- around my eyes. Over time I had similar experiences with some of the top selling eye creams, moisturizers, foundations, eyeliners, and spot treatments. It took me a while to realize it, but eventually I grew to understand that the health of my skin is far more valuable than saving money on makeup and skincare. After dropping small amounts of money on tons of different products that deteriorated my skin, I realized trying to find products based on packaging and bloggers was pointless. I found Nefertari.com and recognized the passion for skincare immediately after my consultation. Houria genuinely cared about the effectiveness of my skincare products, not about selling things to me. She sent me samples and then spent about an hour on the phone giving me explicit instructions on how to get the most out of each product. I got on a routine of using the Sothys Morning Cleanser to wash my face and, to be honest, fell in love with the smell before I even saw results. Later I added in the Sothys Comfort Lotion to tone after cleansing, and finished with the Soothing Melting Fluid to moisturize. The first thing I noticed, other than the wonderful smell of every product, was the change in the texture of my skin. It’s now more even to the touch and it’s easier to apply makeup. The biggest change I saw was the day after using the Sothys Desquacrem, which is like giving yourself a spa-quality exfoliating treatment. The better my skin gets, the more I love it, and the more I love it, the more I want to care for it. If you’re looking to take charge of your skincare routine, I cannot recommend Nefertari.com enough!”

What Is your Beauty?
There are many different definitions of beauty floating around on the internet, as well as in the offline world. It would seem that almost everyone has an answer to the question, ‘what is beauty?’. Which definition of beauty would you ascribe to?
Inward versus Outward Beauty
A large amount of controversy sometimes erupts when the conversation is one in which the term ‘beauty’ is being assigned a definition. One of the main areas which cause emotions to run high and logical skills to be compared is whether the definition of beauty should include the personality and character of an individual, or be confined to their outward appearance.
While it is easy to assume that the definition of beauty at Nefertari is limited to appearance alone, our position is that those who would leave inner beauty out of the equation are short-sighted. However, that makes the answer to the question ‘what is beauty’ a bit more complex.
Why Defining Beauty is Problematic?
The complexity of defining beauty stems from the fact that people tend to crave a static, one-size-fits-all definition. They want to say that a certain shape of the nose, distance between the eyes, body size, shoe size, hair length, and so on is beautiful, leaving all others out. A boxed up definition can also be made for inner beauty, saying that bookworms, stellar students, undereducated people, and so forth should be left out.
All of this has been the source of a lot of heartbreak and destructive behavior in millions of people. While many want to talk about the problems young girls have with self-image, the fact is any and all type of people, men and women, old and young, and of every race and ethnicity can suffer from such a small-minded definition.
Chanel posted a video on YouTube about the definition of beauty. It’s called ‘what is beauty’ and features a more accurate description: Chanel Or more on here At Nefertari, beauty is about being you. It’s about you feeling comfortable and confident with who you are. Our skin care product and services offered are specially crafted to help you feel and look your best. Inner and outer beauties are intricately linked.

Nefertari.com Marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! At Nefertari.com, we’re spreading awareness about this devastating condition, while also working to help support affected women and men as they strive to rediscover a sense of confidence and well-being as they fight cancer with incredible courage!
Chances are, you know someone who’s directly impacted by breast cancer. It’s one of the most common forms of this disease. In fact, breast cancer is the single most common form of cancer in women, spanning all racial and ethnic groups. In 2011 alone, over 220,000 women and over 2,000 men were diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly 41,000 women and over 400 men passed away as a result of this disease.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that among Hispanic women, breast cancer is the most commonly fatal form of cancer. It’s the second most common among other racial groups, such as black, white, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders. And while women are the most commonly affected, men can also be impacted by breast cancer as men and women alike both have breast tissue.
Breast Cancer and the Impact on Self-Image
The fight against breast cancer can be devastating when it comes to an individual’s self-image and confidence. Treatments can cause hair loss, chronic fatigue and massive weight loss. These effects can combine to have a very dramatic impact on your appearance. Many breast cancer patients really struggle to find peace with this new and very different look.
Many women and men alike are also forced to undergo dramatic surgeries, including full mastectomies. This can leave a woman struggling to come to grips with her new and very different appearance. Men also struggle with this disease, which is primarily viewed as a women’s ailment. This can make breast cancer all the more difficult for the small number of men who are impacted each year.
Unfortunately, the adverse impact on an individual’s self-image can actually have an adverse impact on one’s health. A poor self-image can lead to depression. Depression can have a very real and negative impact on your overall health. So feeling bad about your appearance can quite literally make it even more difficult to fight this awful disease.
At Nefertari.com, we believe that those who battle cancer are beautiful! They’re brave warriors, fighting one of the most important fights of their lives! We want to support those who are impacted by breast cancer. We also want to support breast cancer survivors as they reclaim a sense of confidence and beauty. So during the month of October, we’ll be supporting the fight against breast cancer by offering some great discounts on Sothys beauty and skin care products for women and men.
When you feel beautiful and confident, you’re ready to take on the world — even breast cancer! Our skin care and beauty products serve as the perfect gift for yourself or for a friend or loved one who’s battling cancer now or recently defeated breast cancer and won! Reclaiming your life is a multi-step process. We want to make it a little bit easier for the brave women and men who’ve taken on the fight against breast cancer.
