One of the main reasons I consider myself an expert in skincare is because I always want to know the “x” factor. I want to know why products work. And simply put the “x” factor is the active ingredient(s) within the product themselves. Think of back in the day when women simply lathered a thick coating...

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...

So today I decided to ask my good friend (who is a man) to sample some of the products I had here at my house and also take into consideration any that he’s already...

I’m always preaching about how it’s ok to choose products from different lines to design the perfect regimen. However, that’s because I rarely find a complete regimen that covers all one’s individual needs effectively and entirely. Additionally, I have favorites from certain lines that I had refused...

One of my favorite brands for Anti-Aging is RoC ! Roc products are affordable and have quality results-oriented ingredients and technology. Roc has been devoted to skincare and anti-aging since its founding in France in 1957. For tightening and firming aging skin I choose RoC Firming Complete Lifting...
