You always hear “pH Balanced for Skin”, but what does that actually mean to you and your breakouts? I remember learning about pH and acidity in high school, but now I have learned about it’s importance in skin care products. When skin is taken outside of its natural pH levels of 4.5 to 5.5 (on a scale of 0 to 14), it no longer has the ability to defend itself from pollution, fungus, and other bacteria. This is also the…

Why Worry About pH Levels & Your Skin?
Skin Benefits of Raw Honey

Knowing I had days before the big event, the aesthetician recommended I use raw honey to gently heal my acne. This sounded too bizarre to be true, so I asked her a ton of questions and then decided to try it. It should be noted that not all honey is created equal. Most…

Over time more serious signs appear, such as visible blood vessels or broken capillaries and thickening of the skin. Here’s how to recognize if your symptoms are actually Rosacea: Does the redness primarily affect one or…

However, if you’re using the correct cleanser or washing with a Clarisonic Skin Care Brush, all your makeup should be gone with…

Aminogenesis DermaScyne 2: Product Review
I broke away from my beloved Aminogenesis Photolagen-AGF to try out the new, premiere Aminogenesis product, DermaScyne 2. Aminogenesis claims DermaScyne 2 will increase collagen production by 400%. That’s one hefty claim and, after the miraculous job Photolagen-AGF did on my skin, it was a tall order to fill. I used DermaScyne regularly for 6 weeks, but I didn’t see any difference in my skin as compared to when I was using Photolagen-AGF. It wasn’t as plumping to the skin….
