Not all acne cleansers are created equal. Some are too harsh and others don’t seem to make a dent in the appearance of skin.

Nature’s Miracle: Tamanu Oil

The Tamanu tree is typically found in the Pacific and Asian Tropical regions, and the oil produced by mechanically crushing the dried nuts has multiple uses—both medicinal and beauty-related—exhibiting amazing properties. Tamanu Oil is extremely healing because in addition to possessing many antioxidants, it is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory. Research shows that Tamanu Oil is a strong anti-inflammatory and for that reason, it is used for rheumatism, eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions. The oil also helps skin regenerate…

Toxic Cosmetic Ingredients to Avoid

Your skin is the largest organ of the body and some of its many functions include protecting, regulating heat and absorbing outside substances, which are then transported throughout the body. Absorption is a way in which even contaminants that are found in soil, air and water can enter the body. So, what you put on your skin is pretty important. The rate your body absorbs a substance is proportional to both the concentration of it and the surface area over…

Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream: Product Review

I’m an ocean girl, and by that, I mean, I love all things related to the sea. So, when I heard about Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream, of course I had to try it. Created to combat dryness while working as an anti-ager, Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream exfoliates, moisturizes and boosts the skin’s collagen production. It uses natural ingredients like glycolic acid, derived from sugar, and algae extracts to soften fine lines and wrinkles. The glycolic molecules are actually…

Clark’s Botanicals Nourishing Youth Serum: Product Review

Who would have thought my husband, the man who dubbed shaving cream as the only facial care needed, would become hooked on a skincare product? It began when he privately complained about the ever deepening lines around his eyes. Note: I actually love those lines because they emerged from years of smiling, laughing and enjoying life. I encouraged him to use sunscreen, and he agreed mainly because his skin is fair and we live in a sunny part of the…

Ahhh…summer is around the corner: vacations are being booked, patios are getting a makeover and shorts, tank tops and sandals are making their way to the front of the closet. So, what’s the best approach to skin protection this summer? As always, stay out of the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., wear protective clothing and liberally apply your choice of sunscreen: Anti-Aging Sunscreens By nature, all sunscreens are anti-aging since they help keep damaging UV rays at bay….

How to Get Great Straight Hair, Naturally

For many of us beauty junkies, searching and discovering the most innovative hair styling techniques are a challenge (or obsession) that we eagerly embrace. But, what happens when the latest and greatest damages our hair and causes long-term effects that are not red-carpet-ready? The latest buzz about keratin straightening treatments has caused quite a stir. Aldehyde chemicals in keratin treatments, even those claiming to be “formaldehyde-free,” not only cause irritation of the eyes, nose and skin, because many women are…

How Does Self-Tanner Work & Does It Harm the Skin?

Looking for that perfect glow and healthy tan? With everything from spray on tans to the standard lotions, how do they work and are they safe to use? Your skin has essentially two layers, the top one is the epidermis. When you use a self-tanner, you are literally coloring that top layer of skin. Most self-tanners on the market are comprised of dihydroxyacetone, DHA. DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells on your outer-most layer of…

Large Pores? How Pore Minimizers Work

Pores are a fact of life, in fact, without them, our skin wouldn’t be skin at all. If you suffer from large pores you are probably always looking for makeup that covers and a solution that works. Numerous factors could be causing large pores, including genetics, but even genetics can be fought with the right product and ingredients. Large pores and blackheads can be caused by oily skin, sun damage and consistent care of your face. Essentially, large pores are…

My New Best Friend, Pharmagel Beta-C: Product Review

Pharmagel Beta-C is a “dual action” moisturizing facial treatment: dual action because the combination of Beta Hydroxy Acid and vitamin C allows this moisturizer to work in two ways. It removes dead tissue and renews the skin beneath. Beta Hydroxy Acid, also known as salicylic acid, is the newest addition to the Hydroxy Acid family. It is considered the next generation in skin care because: It’s a superior exfoliant. It may be less irritating than the more oft-used Alpha HydroxyAcids…

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…

If you’re tight on cash or just want a way to go green, this is a perfect way to do it.

Top Ingredients to Avoid in Personal Care Products

1. Formaldehyde – OSHA regulates formaldehyde as a cancer-causing substance. These two chemicals are just two of many preservatives that release formaldehyde. They are called formaldehyde-donors. Formaldehyde is used in so many beauty products, that the expression, “well preserved” isn’t too far-fetched. Research has revealed that even low levels of formaldehyde can have health effects. Low levels of contact may irritate the eyes, nose and throat; cause skin problems and severe breathing problems. Formaldehyde is a specialist in masquerading with…

The Power of Peptides

A peptide is a chain of two or more amino acids. When a peptide is applied to your skin, your skin says, “Now we have what we need to make collagen. LET’S DO IT!!!” As you age, the blood flow to the dermis is reduced and therefore fewer amino acids and peptides are delivered to the skin. If the nutrients to the skin are reduced, then the amount of new cells made is reduced. Many peptides linked together form a…

The Use Of Alpha Hydroxy Acids & Skin Cancer

Is there a link between the use of Alpha Hydroxy Acids and higher instances of skin cancer? It’s worth checking out. I recently had a basel cell carcinoma removed from my chest and I THINK it was from doing peels. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) were derived from the professional peels of plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Products with a lower concentration of AHA’s started showing up in non-professional skin care products in 1989. The most common acids used are glycolic acid,…

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…

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…

Credentials Daily Mineral Guard SPF 25: Product Review

I absolutely love this sunscreen for one reason – it’s a sunscreen and an anti-ager in one. You don’t get that often and you certainly don’t often get it at this price. It is $23 for a large tube that will last you for almost a year with daily use. Credentials Daily Mineral Guard SPF 25contains peptides. Peptides are amino acids that occur naturally in the skin and attract moisture to your cells. For this reason, this sunscreen is a…

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…
