Enter to WIN: Genuine Health Healthy Skin Chocolate Soft Chews

4 May 2009

No argument: what we ingest shows up on skin. Drink lots of water, eat a low-sugar, low-fat diet of foods rich in antioxidants and omegas 3 and 6, and watch your skin glow with health.

F is for French: Thermal Spring Water from La Roche-Posay and Avène

27 February 2009

Thermal spring water is interesting stuff. Packed with nutrients and trace elements, certain types of thermal water can soothe stressed or traumatized skin the way regular water just can’t.

Holiday Prezzie Enter to WIN: CARGO blu_ray Polishing Cloths for Smoother Skin (and Gloss for Pretty Lips)

24 December 2008

I’ve been searching for an exfoliator suitable for sensitive skin that can’t handle abrasives. I found a few, but a friend had asked specifically for something with a price tag that allows her to maximize her carefully thought-out spending plan (heard that term on CNN; much nicer than “budget,” yes?).

Okay, so Mineral Powder Makeup: Susan Posnick ColorFlo Mineral Powder Foundation

4 September 2008

For weeks and weeks I’ve been testing mineral powder foundations. Frankly, I’ve not been mineral powder makeup’s biggest fan. But it’s such a trend and has such a support base that I’m determined to figure out what the fuss is about.
Here’s what I know:

Skin-Clearing Matte Moisture: Vichy Laboratoires Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

27 August 2008

According to Vichy Laboratoires research, breakout-prone skin has more nerve endings connected to its sebaceous glands than clear skin. The increased number of nerve endings over-stimulate and irritate those glands, which results in excess sebum, inflammation, and another dismayed gaze in the mirror.

10 June 2008

Okay, so I’m not the quickest person in the bathroom in the morning — or ever for that matter. Good thing I don’t have to share. (Clive-O has his own place across the pond. Keeps the romance alive.)

Super-Sensitive Skin + La Roche-Posay = :-)

14 May 2008

Having super-sensitive skin is a tough thing. From what I hear from friends in the know, at times it feels like you have to be vewy, vewy quiet lest you somehow trigger a sudden epidermal eruption or angry reaction. How frustrating.
La Roche-Posay is one of the few skincare lines that works for people with truly [...]

14 May 2008

So who’s a dumbass?
Here I am, enjoying a beautiful Spring day at Niagara Falls last weekend. Now’s a gorgeous time to visit the area, by the way.
