By TheGlamtastic · July 30, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

The damage is done! You've tanned your life away and now, although you may not see much of it on the surface, your're left with massive sun damage. Now with the help of your favorite skin care brand, there is no need to hide behind your big David Yurman aviator shades any longer!

 

The Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Antiwrinkle Eye Cream uses a powerful combination of the following ingredients: Quercetin and Oak extracts help to improve skin cell function, Baobab Pulp helps to keep the lift alive , Yeast works to keep the circulation hot and heavy - reducing dark circles below the eye - and sugar-derived Betaine and Rhodiola Rosea extracts fight those puffy sleeping bags that can arrive under the eye area.

 

You only have a few more weeks where it's acceptable to where your shades inside and out! Perhaps it's time to look for a year-round solution?

 

Another reason to love - this anti-aging eye saver is all natural, paraben, sulfate and phalate free! I've been eating a ton of Lucky Charms lately - I think that's enough chemicals for me!

Complextion Perfection! Origins Perfect World SPF 25

By TheGlamtastic · May 10, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

Freckles - check. Redness - check. Sensativity - check.


My skin can always use a little complextion pick me-up, especially with all of the harmful effects of pollutants, environmental and sun damage (even at 27)!

 

I refuse to start seeing wrinkles at 27! That is just not happening. To prevent the premature signs of aging, I'm required to bathe in anti-aging creams, reapply SPF every hour or two, stay under a wide brim hat and away from raw sunlight whenever possible.

 

Now, Origins is trying to help women fight back against the early signs of aging with the new Origins A Perfect World SPF 25 Age-Defense Moisturizer. This healing moisturizer utilizes white tea, to help us protect our skin from enviremental stressors such as UVA/UVB rays and pollution,toxins, as well as the early signs of aging.


OMG, did I just see a wrinkle?

 

Dying to try this new Origins A Perfect World SPF 25 moisturizer and report back? This lightweight spring moisturizer is available in April 2010 at Origins locations nationwide and of course at  origins.com.

Win the Battle Against Your First Wrinkle: Clarins Multi-Active Day Wrinkle Correction Cream

By TheGlamtastic · September 9, 2009 · 1 Comment ·
Today is the day I fight back againt my very first wrinkle! This is war and I'm armed with some of the best beauty tips in the biz to keep my skin healthy and wrinkle-free. 

Skin Care Tip #1: Always use a white wash cloth when cleansing your face so that you can see that all of the makeup, dirt, oil & residue from your day has been removed.

After a serous cleansing, go for an active moisturizer that nourishes while working to shield your skin from the elements (a.k.a. environmental pollutants, free radicals, sun damage...the list goes on).

Skin Care Tip #2: Scoop a small amount of product and warm it in the hands, before applying it to the skin. 

Skin Care Tip #3: Never pull or tug at the skin when applying product. Gently cup the hands and lightly press them against the skin. 

This Fall, defend your skin against the first signs of wrinkles, crow's feet, marionettes lines, you know what I'm talking about...

Arm your skin with Clarins Multi-Active Day. This luxuriously rich cream helps to keep skin tight and toned with the power of Ambiaty, a healing plant from Madagascar which works to reduce the appearance of early wrinkles, Hesperidin (extracted from the orange peel) that works to protect the skin from free radical damage. Light-reflecting pigments keep skin looking young, refreshed and radiant! This day cream melts into the skin and leaves the surface layer smooth and hydrated. Love that!

You only need about a dime size amount of product to hydrate the entire face. I have a feeling just one bottle could last me quite a while...

What's your go-to daytime moisturizer?

* Please note: All skin care tips included in this post came from Clarins skin care experts, dispensed at a recent Clarins education session.

PerriconeMD No Foundation Foundation $50 - http://www.sephora.com
Take a Vacation from Heavy Foundations 
My cubicle is a sauna! I was on safari in Tanzania last summer and it was definitely cooler in the wild  than it is in my cute office cube! 

When the heat and humidity take over, your makeup can end up looking like a hot mess! It melts, it runs, it smears...But, this summer there's a new skin-saver from everyone's favorite dermatologist, Dr. Nicholas Perricone. 

PerriconeMD No Foundation Foundation provides natural coverage, combined with non-chemical SPF protection, for the ultimate super light tinted moisturizer. This anti-aging makeup offers a light layer of color, improving the look of your skin instead of trying to cover it up with heavy foundations. This extra light color can be used to replace foundation in the stifling summer months. 

This translucent formula corrects minor skin imperfections (slight sun damage, a pimple or two, etc.), while providing all day moisture and protection against future sun damage. PerriconeMD No Foundation Foundation employs treated pigments with light-diffusing mica to reduce the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores. 

This feathery formula is also free of parabens - love it! 

Take a vacation from heavy foundation and live life on the lighter side with No Foundation Foundation.
