Phyto for Beautiful and Healthy Hair and Scalp!

2010-03-10T23:41:00Z

Anytime I hear the word phyto as it relates to beauty I get really excited because most of the skin and body care I’ve ever used that incorporates that technology has been extremely effective and results oriented. So today when I was perusing SkinStore.com I got particularly happy to find a new brand they now offer. The brand is literally called Phyto ! What was even more intriguing was it was a line of products specifically formulated for the hair and scalp. Needless to say I had to try Phyto products...(read more)

Best Product in a Supporting Role

2010-03-09T18:58:00Z

With all of the hype surrounding the Oscars this week, I got to thinking about actors/actresses in a supporting role and how they frequently allow the lead actors and actresses to shine. In some cases, they are crucial and even more important that the leading roles. The same could be said for beauty products. Some are used to make other products work better. You might not use them on their own but combined with a “leading product”, they make everything work much better. That said, I have put together...(read more)

Green Tea – Pure Inventions Concentrated Formulas

2010-03-08T18:19:00Z

We’ve talked about Green Tea before but usually as it pertains to topical products. There are creams and serums that contain green tea. Many of you know by now that green tea is an excellent antioxidant that can protect our cells against environmental damage. But let’s not forget that originally people only consumed green tea internally, usually in the form of a brewed beverage. I must say that I became a tea nut years ago and really enjoy several daily cups of tea, frequently the green variety....(read more)

Say Bye-Bye to Body Acne with Murad, MD Formulations and Glytone Body Sprays!

2010-03-05T21:11:00Z

Everyone is always writing about acne treatments for the face but rarely does anyone concentrate on specific treatments for the body (including me). But today I thought I’d share with you three great products specifically formulated for the treatment of body acne. Acne sprays are great because they are quick and easy to use and also reach places that you normally can’t reach when applying topical gels or creams. The incredible Murad brand offers Murad Clarifying Body Spray within its Murad Acne line...(read more)

Dynamic Duo's for Gorgeous Hair by Neil George, June Jacobs and Frederic Fekkai!

2010-03-05T00:47:00Z

My whole family used to always tease me about my “hair care” gift sets I used to give to my girls and my niece. I’d always get them great shampoo and conditioner sets. I always considered how much I’d love that gift so I just assumed they would too. And they did! High quality professional hair care products are expensive and I figured they would like to get really great products without having to pay for them. So one day after years of everyone (but them) saying things like, “oh gee, did your mom...(read more)

Great Legs with CelluliteRX!

2010-03-03T04:21:00Z

I remember using a professional strength cellulite cream in a body wrap treatment I used to offer back when I worked as an aesthetician. Out of all the cellulite creams and serums I’ve come across over the years I had never found one quite as strong as the one I had used on my clients. Having said that, I was also fairly happy with the results of the one’s I had tried…feeling as if many people are wrong who are skeptical about the creams indicated for slimming, toning and cellulite. I knew I could...(read more)

True and Amazing Repair with M2 Skin Technologies!

2010-03-01T21:23:00Z

Have you ever noticed how oftentimes we find the best product for a specific indication by simply stumbling onto it? By that I mean we may have had a product for discoloration (for instance) only to find out it worked amazingly well for fine lines and wrinkles. Or another example might be a product specifically formulated for cracked heels but when we applied it to our elbows or neck we found that it had incredible healing and moisturizing properties for those areas as well. I recently had such a...(read more)

Get Your Skin's Daily Dose of Vitamin C with Cellex C, Jan Marini and Obagi!

2010-02-27T01:11:00Z

I’m always writing about some newfangled, “cutting edge science” type ingredient which is good and valid because there are indeed many new ingredients out there that are absolutely amazing. But today I was thinking about my all time favorite skin care ingredient and how this one amazing ingredient completely changed and improved my skin. And that was some 12 years ago…and it still continues to be one of my all time favorites. Vitamin C serums are in my opinion one of the most tried and true skincare...(read more)

HydroPeptide Moisturize Anti-Wrinkle Skin Firming Hydrator Does it All!!

2010-02-25T16:41:00Z

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a moisturizer/(you’re supposed to enunciate each slash…lol) anti-aging/stretch mark/scarring/discoloration/ treatment in one convenient bottle or jar? How about adding the science of peptides and antioxidants and infusing it with an amazing refreshing scent? If that’s not enough what if they made it a larger size as opposed to the typical ounce or two or even better yet it was indicated for the whole body but targeted specifically for the face, neck, décolleté and hands...(read more)

Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo - Keep Your Hair Fresh Between Shampoos

2010-02-24T17:02:00Z

Not everyone has the time to shampoo every day and those with a drier scalp may find daily shampooing to be too drying. Finally there’s a solution that’s much more practical than the baby powder my friends used to use. Dry shampoo has become quite popular and one of the best is Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo . Rene Furterer uses natural clays to absorb dirt and impurities. This freshens the hair and scalp, making it easy to skip a day. I’m actually one of those people who has such an oily scalp...(read more)

2010-02-23T01:25:00Z

Have any of you heard about DermaQuest Skin Therapy ? It’s a brand that’s been around since 1999 but I only recently discovered it. DermaQuest products are absolutely amazing.

Missing Something? Don’t Forget that Touch of Fragrance!

2010-02-19T16:52:00Z

Have you ever gotten all dressed up with the fancy dress, the makeup and the hair only to feel like something was missing? It might be fragrance. While visuals are important, people really hold onto scent. Scents can make a lasting impression and really cement memories. Scent is very personal and of course, a fragrance that’s perfect for one woman may not appeal to another. I will say that some fragrances encompass so much of what most women feel and that’s the case with Elizabeth Arden Pretty Eau...(read more)

Philip B for the Most Amazing Hair You've Ever Dreamed Of!

2010-02-18T20:28:00Z

Ever consider spending $140 bucks for a shampoo? Words like “heck no,” “that’s insane,” or “ridiculous” come to mind. However, think again…because it can be and is indeed worth it! At least the one I’m going to tell you about is! I never in a million years thought I’d say that. Heck, I even buy 99 cent bottles of Suave every now and then. But the bottom line is…in the long run (if you’re into gorgeous locks of hair) it’s well worth it and then some! Philip B has an incredible line of products all...(read more)
