Do You REALLY Know What Antioxidants Are?

You hear the word daily, see it written on the back of labels, but what does “antioxidant” really mean? Here is a simple and straight-forward answer for all of you regular people out there. When cells do their work, they create by-product (free radicals). If this by-product is left sitting there, it can cause sicknesses like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. When you add antioxidants to your body, they pick up the by-product to use. Therefore, it isn’t left floating…

Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel: Product Review

With the consistency of most facial moisturizers these days, you won’t believe that this gel is actually a moisturizer for your face. We are used to light or heavy lotions and even oils, but a gel? Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is a clear gel of Vitamin B5, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of skin and is involved in tissue repair and skin moisture. B5 Gel is good for all skin types. If the skin is excessively…

Exfoliate & Moisturize. Pharmagel Glyco 8: Product Review

Pharmagel Glyco 8 is the mother of all Pharmagel reparative moisturizers. This facial treatment is billed as the “premier facial-firming AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) complex” by Pharmagel and for good reason. This luxurious crème can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance and restore a healthy, youthful glow. Pharmagel Glyco 8 contains 8% glycolic acid, an AHA naturally found in sugar cane. AHA’s gently remove dead cells, bacteria, free radicals and toxins from the skin. In other words, they make your skin…

I Have Acne & Wrinkles – What Do I Treat First?

Crows feet, laugh lines and expression lines have started to creep in and then you see it… a pimple. And you think to yourself, “Wait, I’m supposed to be past this!” Unfortunately, 1 in 5 women between the ages of 25-50 suffer with some form of breakout or adult acne. Instead of reaching for that over-the-counter teenage acne product, which may be far too aggressive, do a little research. There are many skin care lines that now offer products specifically…

Do-It-Yourself Remedies To Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Wrinkles are a natural result of aging. No doubt we will all accumulate some,but many of us don’t celebrate their appearance. I would like to accumulate the knowledge and wisdom age provides, but look like a fresh-faced 17-year-old. I’m not so dedicated, however, that I’m willing to spend hundreds or even thousands to achieve that look of eternal youth. Instead of buying expensive potions or signing up to have my face lifted, here are a few suggested ways to fight…

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…

SkinCeuticals Serum 15 AOX+: Product Review

Vitamin C in pure form. SkinCeuticals’ Serum 15 is, in my opinion, the best and most versatile vitamin C on the retail market. This vitamin C serum is a pure, gel-like serum that contains 15% L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C). I have seen others with a higher percentage of vitamin C, but they’ve all been thick lotions, which don’t absorb as clean. (Read Why Using A Serum vs. A Lotion Matters for more information.) The SkinCeuticals Serum 15 AOX+ comes in…

SkinCeuticals Skin Care: Product Overview

They have quickly become an industry leader. Their continued multidisciplinary approach to skin health, involving top scientists from various fields in product development, has earned them a strong reputation with the medical community around the world. Touted as skin care based on science, SkinCeuticals is…

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….

Aminogenesis Tripeptinon Facelift Capsules: Product Review

The Tripeptinon Capsules have similar effects of the Photolagen-AGF. Astounding results that have become “the usual” of the Aminogenesis skin care line. Aminogenesis Tripeptinon comes in small capsules. You cut the capsule open, squeeze the product onto your face and leave on overnight. I used the Tripeptinon on my face and neck religiously (it’s always a good idea to get both areas) and was impressed by both it’s moisturizing ability and how smooth my skin looked. I find that this…

Does Aminogenesis Really Work?

I am a big fan of the entire Aminogenesis Skin Care line. The products are moisturizing; they’re mostly in serum form, meaning they’re pure and easy for your skin to absorb; and fabulous at fighting aging. The entire line is built upon peptides (also called amino acids/proteins) which are natural building-blocks for the skin. They draw moisture to the cells and help with repair. Vitamin C and peptides are the essential beginnings to any skin care routine. (Check out I’m…

Why You Need To Incorporate Masks & Peels Into Your Skin Care Routine

Much of young, beautiful skin is about exfoliating and moisturizing. Once you exfoliate, you reveal, younger, newer skin beneath – that is what gives your skin that “glow”. The best way to maximize the products you already use (and the results) is to incorporate masks or peels into your routine. Even if you use the best products, your skin needs to be exfoliated periodically so that fresh, new skin can surface. Use a facial scrub every other day to exfoliate,…

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….

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…
