Sunscreen, SPF, and Sunblock...ON SALE!!!

You all now know that I am a believer in DAILY SPF 30!   

I never leave my house without it on my face, neck, and chest...

It is the easiest thing to do to prevent further - 

sun damage, brown spots, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin,  texture issues, skin cancer, and pre-mature aging.

So be smart this summer and everyday throughout the year and use a DAILY SPF 30 - even if you are just walking the dog, going to the office, getting lunch with friends.....even if it is raining and cloudy!!

I have listed my favorites that are also ON SALE - just click on the one you want to purchase and buy from there!!

Perricone products added

I am usually not a huge fan of products that make really wild outrageous claims.

I do like a few of the Perricone products.  The Tinted moisturizer has a few nice colors and it has an SPF of 15 with a block ingredient which is great. (a good option for day time not a day at the beach)

I also like the cleansers as your "treatment" cleanser not a makeup remover.  Leave on for 15 seconds or so and then rinse.

The toners are also an option for you - containing salicylic and glycolic - nice formulas.

Just a few new options for you to choose from.  Click on photos to read more and purchase.

Thanks and enjoy!!

Hair - how to deal with fine and unruly hair like mine!!

Let's just say that I was not blessed with "good hair"!  

In fact, mine is or has been over-processed, thin, fine, tangly from exercising and running all the time, and pretty much a disaster due to too much drying and curling and flat ironing throughout the years....

I have several close girls friends that I am so envious of their locks - they are shiny, healthy,they don't really pay much attention to their hair at all and they have tons of it!  

So I have learned that I have to take extra care of my hair!!

I use extra moisturizing conditioners and leave in treatments before I blow dry or use a curling iron.  I only use shampoos designated for hi-lighted/colored hair. I use a leave in nightly treatment several times a week (it is expensive but WELL worth it) it is my secret product!! I also use an ionic blow dryer and only ceramic flat irons and curling irons.

This strategic plan has made a world of difference in my lovely locks - maybe not luscious but as good as they can be!!

Here's to good hair days allll summer long!

Sunblock -" the non breaking you out kind"!!!

Most of my clients and people that I know hate the feeling and are terrified that Sunscreen, SPF, and Sunblock will breakout their skin...

They remember the goopy feeling as their parents slathered it on them as a child and they don't want to feel that again!!  

They also don't want to risk an acne breakout - on their face or their chest and back.

Believe me I understand!!  

There are some wonderful choices out there now that will NOT feel slick, greasy, or thick and will not cause your skin to break out.  

Remember I am a vampire when it comes to the sun - I completely avoid it!!!!

So just remember to apply your SPF 15 minutes before you hit the beach, drive to your office, go for a run, or plant flowers.  

I prefer a SPF (sunblock of a 30 for daily use) and for a day at the beach a 30 or higher!!!  You must reapply SPF every 2 hours or more frequently if you are in the water/pool/lake/or ocean. 

There is absolutely no such thing as a safe tan!!!!  

So getting your "base" tan is quite ridiculous really - you are still causing damage to your skin.

If you want to be tan get it out of a bottle but even with this you still must apply  SPF - self-tanners do not protect you from the sun at all!!! 

I am tan all year round - but it is FAKE - from a bottle  - not from the damaging rays of the sun or tanning bed!!

Waxing Brows 101

I have waxed thousands of people's brows over my years in the beauty biz.  

Here are your waxing questions answered!!

1.  The wax is going to be warm, not necessarily hot when being put on the brow area.

2.  You should not wax your brows if you are on ACCUTANE.  Wait 3 months after getting off this drug before getting them waxed again.

3.  If you use Retin-A, Retinol, Tazorac, Retin-A micro, Tretinoin, or any other Vitamin A derivative - you MUST stop using for 1 week at least before getting your brows done.  Your skin can lift if you don't.

4.  Getting your brows done makes a HUGE difference in the way your face looks - I have been told that it is an instant facelift!!  

5.  You will be red - maybe for 5 minutes maybe for the rest of the day - this is normal...everyone's skin is different.

6.  Some aestheticians apply powder before putting the wax on some do not...(I don't).  Either way is fine.

7.   If you get tiny pimples on your brow area after being waxed - it is perfectly ok to use a benzoyl peroxide product to help alleviate this.  

8.  Tweezing brows to get that perfect appearance is what should be done after waxing.  By taking off a few hairs can make a beautiful brow.

9.  Brows should be done every 2-4 weeks.  

10.  Let a professional do your waxing - I do not recommend you waxing yourself - you can drip wax in your eye very easily.

Need your brows done??  I absolutely LOVE doing brows!!!
