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...

I don’t know about you guys but I think my foremost dreaded and worst skin aging issues are my jowls and my sagging eyelids. Injectible fillers and Botox work, but unfortunately I don’t like those options for a number of reasons. However, the good news for those of us who don’t opt for the cosmetic surgeon...

I sure love SkinCare-News.com . Has anyone read that web magazine lately?

My girlfriend Debbie obsesses over eye cream and it always makes me laugh because she has the best eyes ever! Her brows are lifted and her eyelids are not saggy and the bottoms of her eyes have no bags or dark circles. And then it hit me that maybe the fact that she obsesses over eye products is exactly...

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...

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...
