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, [...]

Do you wake up with lines etched in your face from your pillow creating creases in your skin? While the creases eventually go away after an hour or so, I’ve heard that these constant creases night after night can permanently break down your skin’s collagen and elastin, and make wrinkles appear faster. Now I have [...]

I went to the dentist today and now I feel like a hypocrite. I go on and on about how to protect your skin so that it can be as healthy as possible, but then I neglect other parts of my body! I have been forgetting to floss, so my hygeinist today was unhappy and [...]

You may blame bad genes for the reason you aren’t aging well, but there are several proactive steps you can take to reverse the physical signs of aging, and to help you look as good as possible as the years go by.

As if flying isn’t stressful enough, do you take the time to prepare your skin before you fly?
Airplanes dehydrate your skin
You probably all know how the dry air in airplanes just sucks out all of the moisture in your skin within minutes. I absolutely hate how dry the air is on planes, but since I [...]

For the past week I was in Minnesota visiting my mom’s side of the family. Since I grew up in Hawaii and have been living in California and Nevada for the past 15 years, I rarely see my relatives, so it was good to see everyone again. Now that I have my skin care blog [...]

Darnit, I was out of town for the past few weeks and haven’t been getting my daily Oprah fix. Guess it’s time for me to get Tivo or a DVR! I caught the end of Oprah today, and it appears Dr. Oz is now on every Monday! Woohoo! Here’s a funny picture of him talking about [...]

Prevage MD
When I worked at the Medical Spa, we sold Prevage MD, the 1% Idebenone cream that is made by Allergan, the makers of Botox. This normally retails for about $150 (although we were selling it for $100 for some reason), so I was excited that we had a tester to use since I was [...]
