My favorite skin care brands that I’ve used (or still use) personally are typically ones that I used professionally in the past. This is usually because I was thoroughly trained via classes and seminars put on by the brands themselves, attended aesthetic conferences with workshops, or simply taught by...

Being a skincare expert for over 25 years I’m often asked what is the best skincare brand I’ve ever used both personally and professionally. The problem with that question is oftentimes there are too many variables to answer with just one brand. What I’ve found is that usually the person asking the question...

One of my favorite brands for Anti-Aging is RoC ! Roc products are affordable and have quality results-oriented ingredients and technology.

I thought I was done with my 5 star series but I keep finding myself wanting to find out more and more about top notch product types. For instance, I’ve pondered which eye creams and serums are 5 star and which self tanning products are best. I know what I consider the crème de la creme but its extra...

Last Friday night I was excited to be invited to an exclusive party with a great guy. I had the perfect dress and shoes but I felt my face looked tired. Any Botox or injectable fillers I had gotten a year and a half go were completely gone. I deliberately didn’t go back for more for three reasons. One...
