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).

LOL Even though I was miserable not sleeping on my Tempurapedic bed I was in heaven using her vast assortment of quality products. We both have curly...

My sister and her best friend live up at Lake Tahoe. It’s gorgeous up there obviously and a great place to live…however, it seems to wreak havoc on your skin. It’s cold, dry, and very high in elevation which stresses the skin in a number of ways. Two that I recognized right off the bat when assessing...

Just when I thought something couldn’t be better than it already is; Clarisonic proved me wrong! I’ve always loved my Clarisonic Skin Care System as does anyone I’ve ever told about it. I was always amazed at how many of my girlfriends actually bought the system, after either watching me use it at my...

OK…that was weird! I just had the most bizarre beauty encounter (for lack of a better word) I think I’ve ever had!
