Since my experience with laser hair removal has still left me with quite a bit of hair, I’m back to shaving as my form of hair removal. When I was younger, I loved those pink Daisy razors, but then one day they changed them, and they would catch on my skin whenever I used them! [...]

One of my favorite skin care websites is DERMAdoctor.
It was started by Dr. Audrey Kunin, who is a board-certified Dermatologist. The reason I like the site is because it’s an online store, featuring tons of popular skin care and beauty brands (in all price ranges) like Afirm, Cellex-C, Bliss, Burt’s Bees, Dr. Brandt, Kinerase, Murad, Neutrogena, and tons [...]

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.

Even though I’ve been vigilant about sunscreen and staying out of the sun lately, I am developing sun spots! For the past few years I have had no tan whatsoever on my face, thanks to wearing a good sunscreen daily, and staying out of the sun for the most part. I’ve done everything “right” but am [...]

I have a confession to make…Even though I started my blog a few months ago, I’ve been researching skin care for years. However, I’ve been self-centered in my research and in the past have only looked for information about what pertains to me. So I’ve focused on skin care for light skin, spending most of my [...]

Skin cancer is so common nowadays, and it’s important to get regular screenings for it because if you do have a cancerous mole, early detection is key to possibly saving your life! There are many types of skin cancer - Basal Cell, Squamous Cell, and Melanoma are the most common, with Melanoma being the deadliest. But [...]

For the last year, I’ve been noticing my eyebrows seem different than before - they seem skimpier. The edges of my eyebrows are pretty much gone (the edges by my outer eye), and I have been noticing some areas of my eyebrows that seem really thin - like there’s just not enough hair growing there.

At the Medical Spa I worked at, the Herbal Green Peel was one of the most popular treatments we offered. We touted it as an all natural skin peel, and we mostly marketed it to clients with darker skin types that had hyperpigmentation problems, but who were not a candidate for Photo Facials due to their [...]
