Skin Biggest Organ, Treat it Right | September 6, 2010

Everyday more and more beauty companies are choosing to go green with their products, and why not?  So many of the best ingredients come from nature, so why pick up a product where you can barely read words like propilparabeno, or Laurent sulfate?  Your skin is your biggest organ, take care of it. I found and use a ton of fabulous products that have simple ingredients, but work amazing.  One of my ultimate indulgences is body scrubs.  I love them and seriously, cannot get enough.

Valley Green Natural makes this Wildflower Honey Scrub that smells … Read More »

Winter’s Rough Stuff | January 18, 2010

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves the whistling of an old radiator heater. It’s a comforting sound that’s reminds me of being a kid, settling into my cozy bed on a chilly New England night, feety PJs in full effect. That whistle meant toasty flow of warm air was on its way.

It’s also a sneaky siren. One that calls your moisture. And whisk! It’s gone.

Let’s face it. Literally. Winter temperatures went down and your skin dried up. Spring isn’t on the horizon for months and your face is a lackluster reminder of scraping ice off windshields and … Read More »

Applying Beauty Products After a Facial Procedure | December 11, 2009

*Skin is very delicate after a facial procedure.  By using a natural foundation on top of SPF, you are creating an inclusive barrier that will help protect your skin.  The foundation will also allow your skin to breathe, which aids in healing.

*Look for a natural concealer that has Shea Butter in it, which is known to help heal and calm the skin.  Apply a light layer where needed.  It also provides sun protection.

*It’s important to use natural-based skin products after a skin procedure.  Many chemicals that are in skincare and makeup are irritating to the skin and may cause redness, itching and … Read More »

Not Animal Tested? | December 10, 2009

For years now, there have been countless protests to scientists testing products for humans on animals. I mean after all – who on earth would want to harm some of the sweetest creatures?

Shoppers have become more savvy as the years go by, and are constantly on the hunt for products that haven’t been tested on animals. Many manufacturers have become aware of this trend – which is a fabulous thing!

But how smart are we as consumers?

The most troublesome fact is that manufacturers get away with A LOT just by playing with words in their campaigns or placing certain labels on … Read More »

Toxic | November 17, 2009

I don’t know about you – but my daily routine involves applying various “lotions and potions” to my face and body multiple times during the day.

There are the cleansers, toners and moisturizers to keep my skin clear; the SPF I apply after wards to protect it, and the makeup to enhance my features. Not only this, but, what also comes into contact with my skin is the soap I use in the shower, the shampoos and conditioners, the body lotion I use after wards, perfumes, deodorants, and the list goes on!

When you really think about it – how many products … Read More »

Beauty Tips for Teens | October 26, 2009

Here are my top 10 beauty tips for Teens (but they are great for adults too!)

Don’t over wash your face. Teens usually have oily/acne prone skin.  A knee-jerk reaction is usually to constantly wash and use toner to “dry up” the problem.  This only makes things worse.  You should wash 3 times a day at the most, and you shouldn’t strip your skin.  This seems counter intuitive, but you cannot dry out the skin and expect acne to go away.  This only makes it worse.

Use moisturizer. Once again, it seems to be the opposite of what you think.  If you … Read More »

White Lightening | October 15, 2009

The other day I was watching some re-runs of, “So You Think You Can Dance”. There was a dancer, Kayla Radomski, who is better known on the show as ‘White Lightening’. Every time that I see her on the show and hear the host call her ‘White Lightening’ something inside me gets inspired. Strange I know – but it’s because behind all of my fake tans and strange orange smears on my body…I’m ‘White Lightening’ too. I find it so thrilling to finally hear such mainstream media deliver a positive emphasis on the beauty of a fair complexion. Obviously I … Read More »

Extra-Rich Serum For Dry & Fragile Neck Lines | March 18, 2009

Extra-Rich Serum for Thinning, Dry & Fragile Neck Lines from Skinn by Demitri James.

As women age the first area to show the advanced signs of damage and time is the neck area. Skinn research shows that the neck area ages in one of two ways: Type A women experience thinning, collapsing brittle skin on the neck that becomes dry and sinks with diminished elasticity (“chicken neck”), or Type B women experience a heavier full neck (“double chin”). Both types of aging necks experience age spots and lines. Skinn responds with two custom formulas in serum strength creams for Type A … Read More »
