PCA Skin Apres Peel Soothing Balm: Product Review

Apres Peel is advertised as a soothing balm with the power of hydrocortisone (it contains 0.5%) and, honestly, this is a product that lives up to the hype. This light moisturizer not only rehydrates, but it calms the skin, reducing redness and irritation. I’m fair-skinned and always in need of a fix for all too visible flaws. Don’t use it as a daily moisturizer though. Rather, it should be used on an “as needed” basis. I use it once or twice each…

Credentials RosaCalm Skin Serum: Product Review

Rosacea, hyperpigmentation and constant red-tinted skin. If you’re like me, redness and hyperpigmentation are constant battles. Credentials RosaCalm Skin Serum actually helped reduce the redness and calm my skin. I used it primarily for hyperpigmentation spots as opposed to redness, but found it incredibly effective following a few days of twice daily use. RosaCalm Skin Serum is a thin, gel-like consistency that virtually disappears once applied. I’m a huge fan of SkinCeuticals Phyto+ for reducing hyperpigmentation (age spots) and am…

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic: Product Review

All these Vitamin C lotions, serums, masques and more – which ones are the best?  I have used many of SkinCeuticals products, including Serum 15 AOX+, Serum 10 and CE Ferulic. There is no arguing that SkinCeuticals has some of the best anti-aging serums and sunscreens on the market. They are clean, pure, have a high concentration ingredients and you can ALWAYS see a difference in your skin’s tone. No matter your skin type, we recommend that everyone use a Vitamin C…

When Should You Detox?

Although the jury’s still out on the effectiveness of body detoxification, there is conclusive evidence that humans are exposed to more toxins than ever before. Those toxins can adversely affect our health. Proponents of body detoxification advise that detoxing can aid our bodies natural processes, arguing that the onslaught of contaminants is simply too much for our livers, kidneys, intestines, skin and lymph systems. However, Dr. Mehmet Oz, while on the Oprah Winfrey Show, cautioned that there is little evidence to…

Is A Body Detox Safe?

I’m a little miffed when websites advise, “It’s a well-known fact that you need to detox your body at least once a year.” Is it? Apparently, the news has yet to travel to the Midwest. Although I’m not yet sold on its necessity, there is compelling evidence backing the health benefits of body detoxification. Robert Hager of NBC recently reported on a scientific study conducted by Mount Sinai Medical School in New York and the Environmental Work Group that tested…

10 Ways To Detox Your Body Without Starvation

If companies with less than creative, in-your-face names and the subsequent hard sell don’t sit well with you, you have other options when considering a detox. There are many simple, natural ways to detox without committing to a cleansing product. Many naturopathic doctors and nutritionists advocate water or juice fasts, as well as sugar fasts and fruit and veggie detoxes. Some even advocate a common ancient ritual in which you drink only water, no food, one day each week in…

What Is A Body Detox?

Body detox refers to the process of removing contaminants from our blood. Our miraculous little bodies do this all by themselves; toxins are removed through the liver and processed for elimination. Toxins are also eliminated from our bodies by our kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph system and skin. However, when our own detoxification system is compromised (for a host of reasons such as the type or amount of contaminant exposure, a less than stellar diet, or other health issues) our bodies may need a…
