Aging sucks. Sometimes, we get desperate in our attempts to avoid it. There are lots of fancy-schmancy organic black algae and eagle spit-type ingredients floating around in skincare these days.
What your mug needs is good ol’ fashioned science. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been skin’s best friend for a long time – check out why in my video, plus find out about a great product that uses it: Continue reading Back to (Skincare) Basics: Anaiti Advanced Age Defying Serum [VIDEO]
I know what you’re thinking: “Serum? Where’s the eyedropper and the little brown bottle? Isn’t this just a moisturizer?” But Amarte Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum isn’t your everyday skincare product. Continue reading Amarte Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum Review

Dear Vitamin C: have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there’s no antioxidant up above you?
You fill my skin with gladness; take away all its sag-ness;
Ease my wrinkles, that’s whatcha do.
Seriously, if you’re not using Vitamin C/ascorbic acid for your skin, you’re missing out on the opportunity to banish free radical production and maintain your youth so ladies in your later years will say “You’re HOW old? Who’s your doctor?”
There are lots of Vitamin C-packed skincare goodies out there, but Valentia Skin Care’s Even Glow Serum Antioxidant Skin Treatment is one of the best I’ve tried. The high 20% concentration of Vitamin C makes it powerful enough for my stubborn forehead lines to have relented a bit in the few weeks I’ve been using it.

As we all age, it becomes more and more important to protect our skin from free radicals – the evil little sources of skin damage that come from sun exposure, drinking, smoking, age and all kinds of other environmental factors. That’s why you’ve heard so much about antioxidants – they help fight the oxidizing effect of free radicals, which – not to get too scientific – is when they steal from your existing healthy cells to try to make themselves “complete”, causing a breakdown of your skin cells.
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants out there, and that’s why I recommend you use it daily in your skincare regimen. (Note: many products have Vitamin C present as ascorbic acid, so if you’re using ascorbic acid, you’re getting the benefits of Vitamin C. That’s only one of the things I love about Nature’s Best Vitamin C Serum.
Hello dolls! I got the opportunity to try a FAB new product from skincare giant Dermalogica: their Skin Hydrating Booster. Spoiler alert: my skin is LOVING it!
The Skin Hydrating Booster is a super hydrating fluid that intensely moisturizes thirsty skin as it smooths and minimizes fine lines. As you may know, I’m obsessed with skincare science. This water-based, non-greasy formula contains hyaluronic acid, which holds one thousand times its weight in water for powerful hydration. If you haven’t tried hyaluronic acid, you really should. I even take oral supplements of it daily. Kind of like collagen, it helps the skin hold its links together smoothly – and also like collagen, it degrades as you age. So adding some back in CAN’T hurt!
