Winter’s Rough Stuff | January 18, 2010

Winter’s Rough Stuff

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves the whistling of an old radiator heater. It’s a comforting sound that’s reminds me of being a kid, settling into my cozy bed on a chilly New England night, feety PJs in full effect. That whistle meant toasty flow of warm air was on its way.

It’s also a sneaky siren. One that calls your moisture. And whisk! It’s gone.

Let’s face it. Literally. Winter temperatures went down and your skin dried up. Spring isn’t on the horizon for months and your face is a lackluster reminder of scraping ice off windshields and … Read More »

Applying Beauty Products After a Facial Procedure | December 11, 2009

Applying Beauty Products After a Facial Procedure

*Skin is very delicate after a facial procedure.  By using a natural foundation on top of SPF, you are creating an inclusive barrier that will help protect your skin.  The foundation will also allow your skin to breathe, which aids in healing.

*Look for a natural concealer that has Shea Butter in it, which is known to help heal and calm the skin.  Apply a light layer where needed.  It also provides sun protection.

*It’s important to use natural-based skin products after a skin procedure.  Many chemicals that are in skincare and makeup are irritating to the skin and may cause redness, itching and … Read More »

Not Animal Tested? | December 10, 2009

Not Animal Tested?

For years now, there have been countless protests to scientists testing products for humans on animals. I mean after all – who on earth would want to harm some of the sweetest creatures?

Shoppers have become more savvy as the years go by, and are constantly on the hunt for products that haven’t been tested on animals. Many manufacturers have become aware of this trend – which is a fabulous thing!

But how smart are we as consumers?

The most troublesome fact is that manufacturers get away with A LOT just by playing with words in their campaigns or placing certain labels on … Read More »

Toxic | November 17, 2009

Toxic

I don’t know about you – but my daily routine involves applying various “lotions and potions” to my face and body multiple times during the day.

There are the cleansers, toners and moisturizers to keep my skin clear; the SPF I apply after wards to protect it, and the makeup to enhance my features. Not only this, but, what also comes into contact with my skin is the soap I use in the shower, the shampoos and conditioners, the body lotion I use after wards, perfumes, deodorants, and the list goes on!

When you really think about it – how many products … Read More »

Beauty Tips for Teens | October 26, 2009

Beauty Tips for Teens

Here are my top 10 beauty tips for Teens (but they are great for adults too!)

Don’t over wash your face. Teens usually have oily/acne prone skin.  A knee-jerk reaction is usually to constantly wash and use toner to “dry up” the problem.  This only makes things worse.  You should wash 3 times a day at the most, and you shouldn’t strip your skin.  This seems counter intuitive, but you cannot dry out the skin and expect acne to go away.  This only makes it worse.

Use moisturizer. Once again, it seems to be the opposite of what you think.  If you … Read More »

White Lightening | October 15, 2009

White Lightening

The other day I was watching some re-runs of, “So You Think You Can Dance”. There was a dancer, Kayla Radomski, who is better known on the show as ‘White Lightening’. Every time that I see her on the show and hear the host call her ‘White Lightening’ something inside me gets inspired. Strange I know – but it’s because behind all of my fake tans and strange orange smears on my body…I’m ‘White Lightening’ too. I find it so thrilling to finally hear such mainstream media deliver a positive emphasis on the beauty of a fair complexion. Obviously I … Read More »
