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.

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…

At-Home Remedies For Removing Under Eye Bags & Reducing Puffiness
As I sat down to put my make-up on the other day, I noticed horrible bags under my eyes. I’m kind of hoping I caught myself at a bad angle, that the play of light and shadow from my bedroom window was accentuating my flaws and they’re not really that bad. Regardless, they were there, extra luggage on my face, baggage that says I’m overtired and getting old. Screw that! So I did a little research and was pleasantly surprised…

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.

It might be that the lemon and…

Why Using A Serum vs. A Lotion Matters
If you have problematic or slightly imperfect skin, this topic is something you probably don’t think about often, but could make the biggest difference in your skin. Serums are liquids that absorb into the skin. Lotions, sit ON the skin rather than penetrating it. Many drugstore lotions also tend to contain parabens. Parabens are essentially petroleum, and like many ingredients in drugstore lotions, they sit on the skin and when ingested, in the liver. Instead of lotions, I prefer to…
