Take a skin diet

I’ve heard many women complaining that products that used to work well for them have stopped being effective after two bottles.  Or women who find that nothing seems to be working for their skin anymore or that their skin condition have suddenly worsened overnight.   

If you’ve encountered such a problem, stop trying to slap on more concentrated creams and lotions on your face or experiment with new products that promises to improve your specific problem.  Instead, switch to natural and water-based products and take a skin diet to reset your skin to its natural state. 

Toners: Is there a difference?

While I’ve been using toners on my face since I started out using skincare, I’ve never actually thought much about it.  I just use it because it’s supposed to be part of the cleansing process to clear out the impurities.  And over the years, I didn’t really see a lot of difference on days when I’ve forgotten to swipe on the toner.

This is too funny!  Novelist Jane Austen is considered ugly and has been given a makeover for the cover of a book about her life, a new edition of a memoir by Austen’s nephew.  Instead of using the usual traditional portrait of Austen painted by her sister, Wordsworth Edition have added make-up, hair extensions and removed her night-cap.  Talk about being disrespectful!

According a news report in BBC News, the publisher has said that even book covers need to look more attractive to stand out more.

If you haven’t already heard, using mineral makeup is one of the newest trends and many dermatologists,  skincare experts and leading esthetician schools have been recommending such natural cosmetics from foundations, eye shadows to lipsticks.  

Jane Iredale and Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals are two of the more well-known mineral makeups out there. But there are many others, including some established brand names like Urban Decay and L’Oreal that have added mineral makeup to their product lists.
