Call this a great little anti-aging take along.  Compact enough to fit in any purse or pocket the LiftFusion Triple Intense Target Magic Wand (and yes that’s a mouthful!) is a serum rich treatment of wheat proteins, almond extract and peptides as well as a powerful blend of antioxidants that will diminish any signs of aging for immediate results as well as longterm when used on a consistent basis.  The proteins and other nutrients instantly fill in and tighten areas around the eyes, lips, forehead making your complexion look smooth, fresh and noticebly more youthful.

I just have to mention RoC Daily Microdermabrasion Cleansing Discs again.  I  started using them this past weekend and I cannot believe the difference in the dark spots on my skin, and after only a few days! The RoC skin care product says results are usually noticed within 1 to 4 weeks so I am extremely impressed after only using this manual microdermabrasion product for 4 days.  

With summer here and spending more time in the sun it’s inevitable that dark spots, also called sun spots or hyperpigmenation are going to rise to the surface and make their unwelcomed appearance.  I have tried alot of expensive brands which some have helped, but to pay only $10 and have these kinds of results??  Not only does it diminish signs of sun damage but fine lines are reduced and skin tone and texture is greatly improved.  

So easy to use.  The cleansing discs have a pocket that your fingers slide into and 2 sides: the exfoliating side with crystals which you use first and then flip over to the conditioning side which contains moisturizers.  Gentle enough to use morning and night.  I’ve also started using their Age Diminishing Facial Cleanser with soy extracts that balances out discolorations and the Age Diminishing SPF 15 Day Cream.  My overall skin tone looks amazing…I am definitely a fan and can’t wait to see results after 4 weeks of use! 

Available at your local drugstore!

From the makers of Lilash, the product that gives you longer, thicker, darker lashes, their new product LiBrow has just debuted.  Now you can have the same results for your brows.  With a thicker applicator brush your brows are sure to grow in nice and thick! 

Our lashes take a beating sometimes from the constant use of eyelash curlers, mascara, eyelash perming, fake strip lashes and of course my favorite eyelash extensions. All we want to achieve is long beautiful, thick lashes so chances are we are not giving up any of our lash gear.  What we can do, however, is condition our lashes to keep them strong and healthy with eyelash conditioners that will stimulate eyelash growth, make the lashes thicker as well as darker, like the newest lash product called LASHFOOD.

There are a few companies out there who offer similar products that will stimulate eyelash growth but what I like about LASHFOOD Eyelash Conditioner is that they only use 100% natural ingredients and herbal extracts. I’ve been testing this product to introduce to my clients who wear eyelash extensions and I have to say it’s been exactly two weeks and I can see new growth in my lashes and my brows. Best part is absolutely no irritation. LASHFOOD is water based and goes on clear.  You use it twice a day to start.  Just apply like a liquid liner to the base of the lashes and like i mentioned it works great for brows also.  Definitely a recommended buy for anyone wanting long, luscious, thick lashes with or without eyelash extensions or mascara.  LASHFOOD is not on the market yet but will be available in July for purchase at LASH OUT!

When I was in Esthetician school Biolements was the product line we used and I basically got a chance to learn about and test out alot of their product line on other esthetician students and clients we saw at the school.  I also had the opportunity to receive a facial almost everyday.. ahh…yes the perks of getting your esthetician license.  Anyhow, one of the Biolements products I absolutely loved was their oxygen-rich moisturizer.  It gives your skin a boost of fresh air that helps to stimulate skin cell renewal and it really worked. 

I was excited to see their Power of Oxygen Kit which contains an Oxygen Cocktail and Oxygenation, two high performing products that keeps skin looking young, fresh and glowing. Now anyone can get the oxygen their skin needs and deserves.

Skin discoloration such as hyperpigmentation, freckles and age spots can occur from many reasons such as years of spending time in the sun, hormones, pollution, stress and free radicals. Any one of these can cause an excessive amount of melanin to be produced which then causes those dreaded brown spots to show up. To reverse the appearance of these brown spots and reveal your healthier, younger skin DDF has created the Discoloration Reversal-POD. Their sponge like applicator exfoliates and hydrates your skin on the area where hyperpigmentation occurs and allows for deep skin penetration of the new Micro-Radiance Complex so maximum results for a more even-toned skin are achieved.  Available at SkinStore.com

I wrote about retinols previously but what I didn’t do was mention any specific products.  Now that I’ve had the opportunity to try one that I really like I want to pass it on to you.  It’s by a well known company named RoC that has been around for years and has been a leading French skincare brand.  They’ve always maintained a great reputation with their line of skin enhancing and result oriented products.  Their #1 anti-wrinkle moisturizer has been clinically proven to take years off your skin.   Retinol Correxion is a combination of retinols and the latest sunscreen technology containing an SPF 30.  This is a deep wrinkle daily moisturizer that offers broad protection from UVA and UVB rays. Clinical studies have also shown that after only 8 weeks of daily use deep set wrinkles begin to diminish leaving skin healthier and younger looking.  The perfect anti-aging moisturizer and for only 19.99.

With all the articles on skin cancer coming out now that summer is almost here, it’s better to use products that have the sun protection you need, but if they can offer an anti-aging benefit as well like RoC does I’m all over it!  Availabe in drugstores.

When it comes to your night time skin care routine there is one product you must not leave out, especially if you are prone to acne, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles.  This must have anti-aging wonder is Retin-A, also known as Retinoids, has been used for over 35 years as an acne treatment then eventually becoming FDA approved for use as a cosmetic product for skin rejuvenation.  Retinol, which is the protein in the cells of Retin-A plays a major role in the development of tissues and organs as well as the immune system.  Retin-A, when applied as a cream or gel produces a mild superficial peel of the top layer of the skin known as the “epidermis” which works to strengthen and thicken the outer layer of skin producing more collagen which is something our body loses as we age.  Retin-A also affects our deeper “dermis” layer causing skin cells to regenerate faster therefore ridding the skin of the old cells and replacing with healthy new cells.  The result is a smooth, glowing and more youthful looking complexion.

Retin-A is a key element in our anti-aging treatment that removes the effects of sun damage, hyperpigmentation and helps to soften wrinkles and improve acne.  There may be some irritation with use on sensitive skin such as redness, drying and flaking.  What’s recommended then is that you combine Retin-A with a moisturizer.  Use consistently to benefit from the results and wear sunscreen daily!

One such company AminoGenesis has introduced the power of Amino Acids into their revolutionary new skin care line.
