Whenever I look for a new skin care product, it’s always a huge plus when it contains antioxidants. Topical antioxidants are supposed to help neutralize the assaults our skin takes on a daily basis - pollution, the sun, cigarette smoking, etc. Then, of course, there are the antioxidants we get from healthy foods (fruits and vegetables, […]

I went to the Dermatologist yesterday for the first time in three years. I picked yet another doctor at the same Dermatology clinic, because I like to see a different doctor every time, so that I can learn as much as possible about skin care. First I had him check my suspicious moles on my […]

I’ve never had a car with tinted windows, and have never even thought about tinting my own car. However, I live in Las Vegas, where just about everyone has their windows tinted, and I realized that not only does it cut down on the heat in the car, tinting blocks UV rays!!!

What beauty sins do you commit? When it comes to taking care of ourselves and our appearance, it’s hard to do everything we “should” do, and there are all sorts of somewhat dangerous or taboo treatments available to help us attain beauty perfection.

The line would show up when he was making facial expressions. Could this be a bunny line? Bunny […]

Nothing’s wrong with freckles - I like them and think they can be cute, endearing, and give you a youthful appearance. However, I personally don’t want freckles on my face. Due to heredity, some people freckle extremely easily, while others don’t get freckles at all. When I go in the sun without sun protection, I […]

What’s your view on cosmetic surgery? After reading the Beauty Junkies book, and catching a marathon of that reality show The Real Housewives of Orange County, I’ve been unintentionally thinking a lot about cosmetic surgery. I personally don’t want to get it, but I think about it a lot, since it’s omnipresent nowadays. Plus I […]

I just got back from a concert, wheezing, sneezing, and short of breath. I will jump on my soapbox and tell you that I HATE smoking and secondhand smoke! Smoking is probably my biggest pet peeve, because it effects me so negatively - I get bad allergies from it, and when I’m around it for […]

When it comes to exercise, I’m lazy, and will always look for an excuse to get out of doing it. I had pretty much resigned myself to never become a runner…because I had heard that it can cause the skin on your face to sag and lose elasticity. I never knew if this was true, […]
