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...

I was so excited a few years back when Prevage was coming out. I’d heard all about the new cutting edge science with regards to the active ingredient “idebenone.” However, when it finally hit the market and I bought some I soon found out I was allergic (or at least sensitive) to it. So I gave the brand...

Last week I reported on my favorite sunscreen for the face, so today I thought I’d share with you another one of my top picks for great sun protection products for the face AND body. La Roche Posay kicks radiation butt with its Anthelios 60 Melt In Sunscreen Milk . Priced in the mid thirty dollars it...

More great deals! The other day I wrote about great inexpensive products that are comparable to expensive ones.

Yesterday Gina wrote about DDF and how it and some of the long time favorite brands diffuse stronger more aggressive cutting edge technology into some of their anti-aging (and many other issues for that matter) products. It reminded me of Peter Thomas Roth another all time favorite brand of mine. PTR...

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...

I had such a nice response from our readers about yesterday’s aromatherapy article that I thought I’d write a little more today about it. I thought I’d share with you all what type of reaction is provoked by certain essential and precious oils’ individual scents. Additionally I will list my favorite...
