If you’re looking for a gentle scrub, this is a good option. I went to Target over the weekend and discovered Aveeno’s new POSITIVELY AGELESS Warming Scrub. It’s a gentle scrub that can be used daily. The warming effect is not a long lasting heat, but it’s noticeable and feels nice. The scrub contains shiitake mushrooms which benefits the skin with antioxidants that help prevent cell breakdown and exfoliates the skin and the natural skin lightener, kojic acid, which will aid in brightening the skin overall.
It’s …

Dermalogica’s Skin Purifying Wipes are a great “wipe” choice for combination or oily skin beauties who tend to breakout. Unlike most wipes, these contain salicylic acid, a great pimple fighter and exfoliator. These are especially great for those of you that workout before or after work.

It’s a gel-like cleanser, with aloe vera and jojoba oils, that melts in your hands…literally! Just slather some on dry hands and rinse. When you’re done, scratch your hands….NO ASH AT ALL!
Don’t just keep it near your bathroom sink, but your kitchen sink too. If you’re like me, you wash your hands 50 times when cooking a meal….why? I dunno, I just do. Also …

Dubbed The Ultimate Beauty tool, this egg-shaped makeup applicator was created by two hollywood makeup artists who were sick of using regular sponges. What makes it so great is that it has no hard edges, so makeup doesn’t streak as you blend it in. Using a stippling method ( bouncing the sponge lightly on your face as you apply your makeup) you can blend and soften your cosmetics application. And the pointed tip can be used for those hard to reach places like around the nose and mouth.

Skin Cancer is more common than we think yet it is easy to prevent. Limiting your sun exposure and using sunscreen is your best defense against the cancer. In addition to that, we need to “know” our bodies. Checking for moles and having an annual skin exam with your dermatologist are all key.
Whether you are fair skinned or dark skinned, we ALL need sunscreen every single day!! And don’t forget the often missed spots like your ears, the back of your hands, feet and in between your toes. Often times, …
