How modest are your fashion choices?

I was so amused when I first heard this news about miniskirts being banned by an Italian resort in the south of Naples over BBC. Apparently, Italian police can how hand out fines of up to €300 to women wearing skirts too short, or tops that display too much cleavage. It’s really funny considering this is Italy we’re talking about and I can see why the women are furious! Even Korea, an Asian country, had already lifted their ban against miniskirts under their indecency law.

Share: can you use your eye cream on your face?

I received an interesting question from a reader, Sandy, who wanted to know if we use eye cream as a face cream. Her reasons being that she does not want her eye cream to go to waste her.

Can we use eye cream as a face cream? I recently purchased a set of skin care. I ran out of my moisturizer but I still have half a bottle of eye cream. I don’t want it to go to waste and I don’t like to mix with other skin care products either. Please advise.

Petroleum-free multi-purpose paw paw ointments

Since the review on Lucas Papaw Ointment, I’ve gotten slightly paw paw crazy and went in hunt for other petrochemical free paw paw ointments. And I found not one, but three! The Simmons Paw Paw Salve, the Healthy Care Paw Paw Balm and Pure Nutraceuticals Paw Paw Ointment. I use them interchangeably on my lips, cuticles and dry spots and all three have managed to perform effectively. I also found them great for healing minor skin abrasions.

All-in-one complete health & beauty supplement

If you’ve been reading Viva Woman long enough, you know I’m quite a sucker for supplements. I was joking to my mom that I find myself spending more time at the supplement section than the beauty section these recent years and that’s a sure sign of aging. In fact, I was trying to hunt down the alkalinizing cocktail, which is a supplement mentioned by Dr Jeanette Graf in “Stop Aging, Start Living”; it’s available in the States all right but it’s too expensive to ship it here. So I started looking for alternatives in the local market but nothing caught my eye until I was introduced to Fit Solution, an all-in-one supplement containing 140 trace minerals to nourish our cells.

Kelly Edwards natural skin care range from UK

A couple of weeks ago, I met Kelly, the founder of Kelly Edwards Skincare, when she was visiting in Singapore. Kelly is an Aromatherapist and a Biology Graduate. Looking at her flawless complexion, one can never imagine that she used to have bad skin as a student. In fact, it was her skin problems that led her to create her own line of products using mostly natural plant botanical ingredients.
