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...

If only I had a nickel for everytime somebody has asked me what's the best thing they can do to get rid of and prevent razor bumps or ingrown hairs...I'd be rich!! Well, I was never quite lucky enough to collect the nickels each time I was asked but I am thrilled to report that I do now have...

The only thing I love more than a skin care multi-tasker is a skincare multi-tasker with Emu oil! Emu oil’s benefits have long been known throughout the world for many ailments including skin conditions. It has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, moisturize and soften the skin. It is also used...

I was so excited a few years back when Prevage was coming out.

Lately, you've probably noticed how incredibly into aromatherapy I've been. I keep writing about it because I'm so impressed with it. I remember back when it was kind of poo-poo'd within the industry or at least within the population as a whole. But then I would think; there is indeed...

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...

Nothing can make your day quite like a SkinStore.com delivery! I always love when I hear this hard bang on my door followed by a door bell ring because I then know it’s a package delivered. And every time I hear that wonderful sound, I go open my door to no one standing there but know that when I look...

I told you I would reveal my incredible Elizabeth Arden regimen and here it is... Cleanser: Elizabeth Arden 2 in 1 Cleanser from the Basic Skincare Line . For those of you who know me…I like to find the best cleanser that doesn’t dry out my already dry skin and I refuse to pay a ridiculous amount of...
