If you’re diligent enough to wear sunscreen, you probably want to make sure your sunscreen contains the most effective ingredients, don’t you? I wrote about my experiences to find the best sunscreen and sunblock - one that works best to not only protect against burning, but wrinkles and cancer as well. From my testing, I concluded [...]

Women (including myself) spend so much time worrying about their face and how it’s aging that they sometimes neglect the rest of their body. While your face ages quickly, so do your neck and hands. There are all sorts of treatments to turn back the clock on your face, but your options are much more limited [...]

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 [...]
