Frequently-asked question: Can I be an Avon Rep. if I don't have a bank account or credit card?

Yes you can be an Avon Rep. but it's more difficult. You will only be able to accept cash from customers, no checks. Also, to pay Avon the money you owe them, you will have to mail Avon a money order, to the branch office. That takes a long time to get there in the mail, and you never know when they receive it or how long it takes to get posted to your account.

If you have a prepaid debit card, then you can deposit the cash to fund the card, then use it like a debit card to pay Avon either online or over the phone.

If you have a bank account, then you can accept checks from your customers, and deposit them in your bank account. (You can't send customer's checks to Avon.) Also you can set up "QuikPay" so you can pay Avon online. Also if you have a bank account, you can set up a PayPal account, which is another convenient method for customers to pay you. Customers can use their bank account or credit card to pay you through PayPal, then the money is deposited in your bank account.

In any case, you can accept credit/debit card payments from customers, but the credit card slips must be mailed to the Avon branch office. It shows up as a credit on your Avon account, so you can order more Avon products free. But you do not get any money.

Avon Anew Clinical Professional Stretch Mark Smoother

2008-08-18T11:59:00.006-05:00

As seen on TV.

Our first at-home answer to LASER STRETCH CORRECTION

9 OUT OF 10 WOMEN HAVE STRETCH MARKS
now you don't have to be one of them!
• regardless of the age of the stretch marks
• regardless of their color

NOW … THE POWER OF A LASER IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

How it Works

Formulated with patented trilaser technology. Each stretch mark is actually visible discolored scar tissue caused by stretching and a breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Moisturizers, Vitamin E, Aloe or Cocoa Butter alone can't fade stretch marks. Avon's new revolutionary treatment, with patented laser-like technology, can.
Patented Trilaser technology formulated to help:
Stimulate collagen to correct the look of stretch marks.
Boost elastin to help prevent new stretch marks from forming.
Plus, powered with Butea, a natural plant extract to help lighten & fade stretch marks.

Meet the Inventor

Meet the expert behind this ANEW breakthrough…

Lisa Lamberty, Director, Research & Development, Product Innovation.

Lauri H., West Greenwich, RI

"... the results were amazing. With other creams I never really felt they were working. Definitely let others try it. They will notice and feel the difference!"
Shannon L., San Diego, CA

"It surpassed my expectations! My stretch marks had been there for a long time ... it's never too late or too soon to start treating stretch marks."
Patricia G., Boca Raton, FL

In 2 weeks: 75% of women showed a visible improvement in length & depths of their oldest stretch marks.

Q & A with Cynthia Rowley

Q: What were your inspirations behind the creation of the fragrances?
A: “The idea was to create two fragrances, one for mother and one for daughter, intended to work together or independently.”

Q: What attracted you to the idea of creating fragrances for mothers and daughters?
A: “I remember that my mom wore a distinctive fragrance on big occasions when I was a kid. She used to spritz a little on me before she went out for the night, and I always associated it with something special – even when I stayed home with the babysitter. It was a bonding experience. I wanted to create something to share with my own daughters and for others to share with all of the women in their life – grandmothers, grand-daughters, aunts, nieces, sisters, and more.”

Q: Why did you decide to name the fragrances Flower and Petal?
A: “I love the natural beauty, optimism, and femininity that a flower embodies. Also the assocation with love…’She loves me, she loves me, she loves me!’”

Q: What do the fragrances smell like?
A: Flower and Petal both have their own personality, but they are both very feminine and beautiful. Flower is a little more flirtatious and sophisticated and Petal more innocent and carefree.

Meet the Perfumers

Frank Völkl

Born in Bonn, Germany, Frank spent his teenage years in Paris. He became captivated by the perfumes his mother selected in a shop on the rue de Rivoli. During these formative years, Frank learned about the ISIPCA School of perfumery in Versailles, France, which he attended after earning a degree in chemistry. After graduating in1991, he studied under 2 perfumers that he considers “mentors.”
A New York resident since 1995, Frank is fascinated by the emotional power of an urban setting such as Manhattan. He finds inspiration in the city’s juxtaposition of the old and the new. It is a motif that he tries to carry over to his fragrances, which he strives to keep simple and uncluttered: “Every detail must have an absolute reason to be there,” he says. “The challenge is to balance ingredients in a perfect way.” He favors fragrances that are mystical and rich, such as voluptuous florals and amber notes.*

Richard Herpin

Growing up in the south of France near Grasse — the heart of the perfume industry — he worked alongside his father, a restoration expert and antiques dealer. From him, Richard learned how to peel back the layers of varnish and wood, restoring and recreating the essential materials and character of each piece. An internship in the antiques department at Asprey in London led Richard to consider becoming an interior designer, but he changed his mind after landing another internship with perfumer Pierre Bourdon.
In New York he can draw on his European roots and enjoy the creative freedom that the city offers – in addition to being a perfumer, he is an amateur photographer and self-taught musician. Ultimately, he feels that perfumery is similar to the world of antiques, because noble materials, symmetry and craftsmanship count above all – and because the artisans, like perfumers, put their soul into their art.*

Q&A with Frank and Richard

Q: What was it like working with Cynthia Rowley on these fragrances?
A: She was really hands-on and had a good nose and strong opinions – making her instrumental to the development process. The end result is really beautiful and really captures her personality in a bottle.*

Q: How were the fragrance notes chosen for each fragrance?
A: Flower is a flirtatious, woody spice featuring a very wearable lily fragrance combined with citrus, violet leaves, freesia. The result is a fragrance that is both sophisticated and playful – much like Cynthia herself. When creating Petal, we wanted to pull a note from the mother fragrance and create a lighter, more innocent fragrance. Both Cynthia and her daughter loved Lily of the Valley. It was the perfect note to be the centerpiece of the fragrance.*

How to choose the right lipstick

2008-02-11T16:09:00.000-06:00

How to choose the right lipstick

A new lipstick can instantly transform your look for just a few dollars.

Q. HOW CAN I CHOOSE A LIPSTICK COLOR?
A. Start by determining your skin tone:
• Choose mauves, pinks and berries with a hint of pink or orange if you are fair-skinned.
• Pick tans, beiges and browns with a hint of shimmer for medium skin tones.
• Try rich reds, deep plums and other bright colors on darker-skinned women.

Q. SHOULD I THINK ABOUT HAIR COLOR WHEN CHOOSING A SHADE?
A. Absolutely! Especially if you have just dramatically changed your hair color. You'll need to change your entire makeup palette to avoid clashing, and lipstick is where it all starts.

Q.WHAT ABOUT MATCHING LIPSTICK COLOR TO AN OUTFIT?
A. Don't worry about matching to a specific outfit. Concentrate on your skin tone, lifestyle and personality.

Q. ARE THE CHANGING SEASONS IMPORTANT TO COLOR SELECTION?
A. Yes— As you update your seasonal wardrobes, update your makeup colors too. Pale, glossy lipsticks are a terrific summer look, while deep, rich shades shine in the winter.

AVON ANEW ULTIMATE AGE REPAIR NIGHT CREAM & ELIXIR

2007-10-30T23:26:00.001-05:00

AVON ANEW ULTIMATE AGE REPAIR NIGHT CREAM & ELIXIR

Winners of Allure Magazine's 2007 Beauty Breakthrough Award!

First to market! Pro-sirtuin TX technology. Erase up to 5 years from the look of your skin.
UNLOCK THE POWER OF YOUR YOUTH PROTEINS … AND VISIBLY CHANGE THE WAY SKIN NATURALLY AGES

THE DISCOVERY THAT MADE NATIONAL NEWS

Leading medical scientists proved for the first time that Sirtuins — special Youth Proteins found in virtually all living things—can extend the healthy life span of certain living organisms. This latest breakthrough research has been the hot topic in national magazines, including Newsweek, Fortune and O, The Oprah Magazine.

AVON LEADS THE ANTI-AGING REVOLUTION

Anew harnesses the discovery of Sirtuins to redefine the aging process. Formulated to stimulate Youth Proteins, creating healthier essential youth cells to help repair damage and visibly change the way skin naturally ages.

Introducing Anew Ultimate Age Repair with Avon's exclusive Pro-Sirtuin TX Technology formulated to:

Stimulate Sirtuin Youth Proteins and help increase the production of healthier youth cells.
Activate Remodeling Proteins to help restore the youthful architecture of skin.

7 YEARS OF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Over 3,000 laboratory tests performed.
Over 1,000 women tested.
Over 200 scientists collaborated.
Over 100 technologies explored.

Avon is the first to offer our customers this anti-aging revolution…

HOW DO THEY FIT INTO THE REGIMEN?

The first step in any skin care regimen is to cleanse. Follow with the Age Repair Elixir treatment. A moisturizer should be used after a treatment, so use your favorite Anew SPF moisturizer in the morning and Age Repair Night Cream in the evening.

This diagram shows how Pro-Sirtuin TX Technology affects the life span of skin cells.
Without Pro-Sirtuin TX Techology, skin's essential youth cells age before you want them to.
With Pro-Sirtuin TX Techology, skin's essential youth cells stay helathy longer.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Sirtuins (Youth Proteins) are naturally occurring proteins in our skin, and they can help redefine the aging process.

Proven: an increase in Sirtuin production—in virtually all living organisms—equals a 30% increase in healthy life span. Avon's exclusive Pro-Sirtuin TX Technology is formulated to:

Stimulate the powerful Sirtuins in skin, so skin cells live healthier longer. Cells that are healthier result in skin that looks and acts younger.

Boost skin's remodeling proteins—powerful organizing proteins to restore strong, youthful cell architecture. Just like when you build a brick wall, bricks need to be in a specific, organized shape and order for the wall to be strong. Your skin is no different.

TAKE CONTROL OF THE AGING PROCESS BEFORE IT CONTROLS YOU

Q & A

Q: HOW DOES RETROACTIVE+ YOUTH EXTENDING CREAM WORK?
A: Retroactive+ Youth Extending Cream is formulated to repair micro-damage that can lead to visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, enlarged pores and rough-textured skin. It is also designed to boost your skin's own powerful antioxidant system to help protect against premature aging.

Q: HOW DOES RETROACTIVE+ YOUTH EXTENDING CREAM DIFFER FROM EXISTING RETROACTIVE+ DAY AND NIGHT?
A: Two important innovations make this Retroactive the most proactive age fighter ever. Retroactive+ Youth Extending Cream Day and Night target a new cell signaling system that has been found to be more comprehensive in treating and preventing the micro-damage that can turn into wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and rough skin texture. First-ever technology stimulates the production of the body's most powerful antioxidant system.

Q: WHY SHOULD THOSE EXPERIENCING THE FIRST SIGNS OF AGING USE RETROACTIVE+ YOUTH EXTENDING CREAM?
A: These creams attack invisible signs of aging and treat the first visible signs, which can further progress to advanced signs of aging. They also offer unprecedented protection to help your skin appear youthful.

Q: HOW DOES RETROACTIVE+ YOUTH EXTENDING CREAM COMPARE TO THE COMPETITION?
A: The human body produces some of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature. Scientists have long tried to add these potent molecules to skin care products. Now Avon has developed a first-ever technology to stimulate production of each of these natural, powerful protectors to help boost skin's resistance to aging.

Q: HOW DOES RETROACTIVE+ YOUTH EXTENDING CREAM TECHNOLOGY COMPARE TO IDEBENONE?
A: Idebenone is an antioxidant that has been receiving a good deal of media attention. Retroactive+ youth-extending technology is more effective at protecting against a major form of free radicals than is Idebenone.

ANEW RETROACTIVE+, one of the world's top-selling products created to stop aging in its tracks, is used by more women than any other Avon skin care product.

Avon ANEW CLINICAL Eye Lift

2006-02-21T22:55:00.000-06:00

Introducing new Avon ANEW CLINICAL Eye Lift
Includes Upper Eye Gel and Under Eye Cream. .66 fl. oz.

The first-ever dual eye treatment — give yourself an instant lift!
No sags. No circles. No appointments. An at-home alternative to eye lift surgery called blepharoplasty, which doesn't address some issues such as crow's feet and dark circles. Will it give you surgical results? No, but this phenomenal two-part invention is uniquely engineered to target aging in both the upper and lower eye areas.

The eye area is a key visual clue to aging, causing one of the first complaints of aging skin from both women and men. The eyelid has the thinnest skin in the body, and gets thinner as you age, which leads to drooping and sagging. Fat pads also collect around the eye, causing a baggy appearance. Avon's patented technologies provide a solution. Our tests prove it.

Why two products?

The problems above and below the eye are different.

Dimensional-Lift Technology in the Upper Eye Gel strengthens from the inside out by boosting collagen and elastin production. Skin is lifted and tightened to help visibly diminish sagging and drooping.

Derma-Refing Technology in the Under Eye Cream accelerates cellular metabolism. Puffiness, dark circles and crepiness are visibly reduced.

UPPER EYE GEL works on 3 dimensions: Lifts vertically, tightens and strengthens. Ingredients include extracts of pomegrate, alfalfa, carrot root, fennel & olive leaf.

INSTANTLY Delivers an instant lift.
AFTER 1 WEEK 91% of women said the eyelid area looked and felt firmer†
AFTER 4 WEEKS Helps visibly reduce sagging and drooping††

UNDER EYE CREAM ingredients include portulaca (plant) extract.

INSTANTLY Visibly reduces undereye shadowing.
AFTER 1 WEEK 87% of women saw less puffiness†
AFTER 4 WEEKS Visibly reduces dark circles and crepiness††

OVERALL Cutting-edge technology & remarkable results. The entire eye area looks dramatically younger, more alert and awake. Results improve with continued use.

Questions and Answers on Anew Clinical Eye Lift

What is Anew Clinical Eye Lift?: It’s the first-ever dual treatment that delivers benefits to the entire eye area by uniquely targeting both the upper and lower eye areas for optimal results. The peach-colored tightening gel for the upper eye area helps treat sagging and drooping eyelids, while the intensive cream for the undereye area helps reduce undereye shadows, bags and crepiness. Note the user-friendly packaging: the upper eye gel is on the top and the lower eye cream is on the bottom!
How is Anew Clinical Eye Lift different from the professional eye lift you can receive in a doctor’s office?: A surgical eye lift is an expensive and invasive procedure that tightens skin and removes fat from the upper and undereye areas, diminishing puffiness, sagging and drooping. Anew Clinical Eye Lift, for just $28, targets sagging and drooping of the eyelid with the Upper Eye Gel with Dimensional-Lift Technology for an instantly noticeable lift. Plus, the Under Eye Cream with Derma-Refine Technology treats dark circles, crepiness and undereye bags. No appointment necessary. No surgery required.
Who should use Anew Clinical Eye Lift?: All ages 25+
When should I use it?: Use daily, AM/PM after cleansing and toning. Use with your facial moisturizer.
How quickly will I see results?: Instant lifting of upper eyelid. Results improve with continued use.

Avon Anew Alternative Intensive Age Treatment

2005-08-11T07:26:00.001-05:00

Avon Anew Alternative Intensive Age Treatment is here! This new product from Avon is a radical new fusion of eastern plant therapies and advanced western technology. It combines exclusively harvested, custom-extracted Eastern plant therapies with Western pharmaceutical-inspired technology.

Anew Alternative is a first of its kind in anti-aging treatments, and it actually helps undo all the signs of aging.

What is Glycation-Reversing Technology?

Our first-ever Glycation-Reversing Technology is formulated to reverse the damage done by glycation, a biological process that can modify the skin's support proteins (collagen, elastin and others) and lead to wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone and loss of youthful contours.

When East meets West, experience the powerful fusion. Eastern healing herbs and our exclusive pharmaceutical-inspired Glycation-Reversing Technology unite for the first time to create a powerful fusion that's actually formulated to stimulate the skin's natural restorative processes. When glycation occurs, the skin's proteins are damaged, its structure compresses and becomes rigid. ANEW ALTERNATIVE Intensive Age Treatment is formulated to reverse and inhibit glycation, and help undo protein damage. It also contains ingredients known to inhibit the signals that damage the skin's structure, helping restore its support system.

DAMAGED SKIN: Support proteins are damaged; skin structure compresses; skin is rigid.
RESTORED SKIN: Skin structure is restored and supported; skin is more resilient.

Prevent Skin Cancer

2005-04-23T08:12:00.000-05:00

Avon's sunscreen products protect against both UVA and UVB rays -- this is the meaning of "broad spectrum" protection. You can think of A for Aging and B for Burning. UVA rays are the primary cause of skin aging damage such as wrinkles. UVB rays cause sunburn. Both can contribute to skin cancer. Avon offers a wide range of sunscreen products, with and without Bug Guard, including for children and babies, and waterproof.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that these sun safety habits be part of everyone's daily health care:

* Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, especially during the sun's peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM).
* Seek the shade.
* Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
* Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
* Avoid tanning parlors and artificial tanning devices.
* Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreens can be used on babies over the age of six months.
* Teach children good sun-protective practices.
* Examine your skin from head to toe once every month.
* Have a professional skin examination annually.

Avon Basics Rich Moisture Hand and Nail Cream

2005-04-13T15:25:00.000-05:00

The last of my favorite products for the hands. The name says it all. It is very rich. If you put it on at night, your hands will be moisturized all day the next day. It also helps keep your nails from cracking and splitting.

Avon Anew Ultimate Hand and Nail Cream

2005-04-12T10:06:00.000-05:00

This is another one of my favorite products. I use it in the morning, because it has SPF 15. It keeps my hands soft, helps my nails grow, and helps prevent age spots.

Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard

2005-04-12T03:07:00.000-05:00

Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus has an ingredient called IR3535 which is proven to be just as effective as DEET in repelling mosquitoes. Despite what you may hear from health officials, journalists, and whoever else keeps pushing DEET, you can use Bug Guard knowing that you are giving your family the very best in protection from West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease and the discomfort of mosquito bites.

Nail Experts Mira-Cuticle Vanishing Complex

2005-04-10T14:08:00.000-05:00

This is one of my favorite products. Rub it around your cuticles every night for a week, and all the dead skin is gone. No more hangnails, and very little need to push back cuticles.
