I’m on a mission to declare the Lycon Elasto Collagen Mask (via Vogue Beauty) the best collagen mask. After a peel, your face is red and irritated. If you apply this mask following the peel, it soothes and moisturizes the skin. I then moisturize with my peptide serum and my skin is baby soft. This mask has a rose smell and tint to it, and it delivers collagen directly to the skin. Collagen is what breaks down under our skin…

Lycon Elasto Collagen Mask: Product Review
The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush: Product Review
The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush was invented by the same person that invented the Sonicare Toothbrush – and it cleans your skin as well as the Sonicare cleans your teeth. In our previous post, I Like My Basic Products, What Else Should I Be Doing?, I talk about exfoliating the skin and when to do it. The Clarisonic exfoliates and cleanses the skin far more thoroughly than what you could ever do yourself. This enables your products to absorb better. (In…

THE Best Facial Scrub. Astara Facial Scrub:Product Review
As covered in I Like My Basic Products, What Else Should I Be Doing?, I mentioned using a scrub a few times a week to help rejuvenate the skin. Astara’s Daily Refining Scrub facial scrub by Astara Skin Care is hands-down the best scrub I have ever used. Leaves your skin clean and fresh. Other scrubs often feel like they leave a film. Some scrubs hurt because of the large grain size. This particular scrub has teeny-tiny grains, almost like a…

Simply The Best All-Natural Deodorant I Have EVER Used: Product Review
I have played with many organic, natural products over the years. All-natural deodorant has always failed, and I’ve always gone back to my aluminum-based products. The aluminum in most deodorants closes pores, which stops sweat and odor from exiting the body. Not only are you stopping your natural cooling system, it has been determined that the aluminum content is a factor in breast cancer. This Vegan Deodorant by Spa Therapy Works actually works. It might be that the lemon and…

Dr. Denese Pore Refining Neck & Face Toner: Product Review
If you are wondering what steps are a necessity and which are optional, you can include this in the “optional”. You don’t HAVE to tone everyday, but if you do, your skin will be cleaner and clearer. For some basic information about toners, including what toners are made of, what’s good for your skin, and whether or not they’re worth the time and energy, check out our post Facial Toners: Are They Necessary? . Toners are meant to balance the…

I Like My Basic Products, What Else Should I Be Doing?
In I’m A Beginner – What Products Should I Use & How Do I Use Them?, I reviewed the basics of what you should be doing daily, morning and night. It’s important to point out that if you want to see results with your skin care, you need to do your routine regularly. You can do masks and other “extras” a few times a week, but the basics require daily practice for desired results. I’m sure there are lots of…

Natural vs. Organic – What’s the Difference?
Every day, we see “greener” products for our families and the planet. We see “environmentally-safe” products and green labels coming at us in magazines, on TV and at the grocery store. What do those product labels mean? What is the difference between “natural” and organic”? You might expect a product labeled “pure and natural” to be, well … pure and natural. You might be in for a surprise. Unlike the food industry, there are no legal standards for organic or…

Aminogenesis Photolagen-AGF: Product Review
I wish Aminogenesis Photolagen well-known because more people should be using it. Deeply moisturizing, light and extremely effective, I recommend this product to most of our clients. Aminogenesis Photolagen-AGF is amino acids, the natural building blocks of the skin that work to moisturize. (Two or more amino acids linked together is a peptide.) Photolagen is a gel-like serum. Serums don’t sit on the skin like most lotions. As a serum, the amino acids actually penetrate the skin and attract moisture –…

Vitamin C: Why You Need To Be Using It
You see ingredients touted every day in magazines, “Anti-Aging Serum with (name of ingredient here)” and commercials with doctors and medical tests. How can you figure out what miracle ingredient is worth the pennies and what exactly do they do? Vitamin C is one ingredient we agree on that just about everyone should be using. (also known as ascorbic acid). Using Vitamin C will: Help clear up blemishes; Build collagen; Treat acne; Fight pigmentation on the skin; and Help your…

Why It Isn’t Always Best To Use An Entire Line of Skin Care Products
I’ve been surprised over the past few years about the number of people I encounter that believe the best way to go about skin care is to use the whole line – or at least all products from the same line. After trying hundreds of products over the years and many different product lines, I’ve found that product lines usually have 2-3 great products. Often, their other products are merely average or even sub-par. The key for me has been…

I’m A Beginner – What Products Should I Use & How Do I Use Them?
Don’t know where to start? We’ve created a list below that will help you on your way to great skin! Once you get these basics down, then you can start to play with masks, peels and other “spa-like” treatments. Please remember that finding the right products for you takes time and effort. You may buy things you don’t like. If that happens, help a friend out and give it to them. It just might make their day. Find a cleanser…

Dr. Denese Advanced Firming Facial Pads: Product Review
If you’re looking for something to exfoliate and soften the skin, these pads might be for you. Dr. Denese Firming Facial Pads are made of a vitamin and glycolic acid mixture. The vitamins firm the skin, the glycolic acid exfoliates and softens. If you seem to be getting oily during the day, begin using every 2-3 days. This means the glycolic acid is too much for you to use everyday. After cleansing and applying vitamins, rub the Dr. Denese Advanced…
