Gluten Free Skin Care Natural Skin CarePublished June 2, 2011 at 5:54 am Comments Off

Lately I keep seeing commercials promoting products designed to combat acne on the back and chest, something that a few years ago seemed pretty much taboo to discuss. Let’s face it, just the term “bacne” sounds pretty awful. But it’s nothing compared to dealing with all of the frustration and embarrassment that comes with actually

With Summer right around the corner, and temperatures rising, chances are your skin’s moisture content is also rising. But one of the biggest mistakes that people make in the Summer months is to use harsh, over-drying products that are formulated to absorb or combat excess oil. The problem is that the more you strip you

Since mineral makeups first began to appear, they’ve promised smooth, flawless skin, and some even claim to hydrate. But there are two issues that I have with most mineral makeups.

In the midst of another very cold Winter, my sinuses inevitably become irritated and a runny nose becomes a daily occurrence. Between the dry air outside and the even drier air created indoors by the heater, keeping the area just below the nose from becoming a flaky mess can be a bit of a Winter

Derma E Gluten Free Skin Care Natural Skin CarePublished October 6, 2009 at 6:57 am No Comments

I love a product that surpasses my expectations! I had only just received an inquiry about Derma E products, when I received a sample of their Microdermabrasion Scrub packaged neatly with my Skin Botanica order.  But there are so many scrubs on the market, and few actually perform as promised.

Well, I am continuing my use of four of the five Dr. Hauschka products that I have been trying, but one, is sadly, already out for the count. The Cleansing Cream is just not for me.  If you’re familiar with Jurlique’s Daily Exfoliating Cream, it is similar, though I actually prefer Jurlique’s.  The Cleansing Cream

I have learned by now that one product line is not always the best answer. But still, Holiday gift packs and discounted sets often do start reeling me in.
