I feel Naked Without This

Let’s face it. We all love lipstick. It makes us feel pretty. When we were little girls, most of us looked forward to the day our mom’s would let us start wearing it.
Now, as adults, it’s the final step to our makeup routine. We feel naked without it.
So, let’s be realistic. Lipstick isn’t something we’re [...]

Top 5 Myths About Beauty

In recent months there’s been a lot of buzz about some of the trendy new cosmetic products on the market. It seems like every female who comes into the office for a skin treatment asks me about one of them or another… lip plumpers, eyelash lengtheners, Botox replacements… the list goes on.

The ads for these products sound great. After all, who wouldn’t want Angelina Jolie-worthy lips in a matter of minutes?

The creams would improve her condition a little bit for a couple of days. But the rash kept coming back and getting worse.

A New Way to Relax Those Stubborn Frown Lines

Just this year, a new product called Dysport has been approved for use in the United States. It’s been used in Europe since the early 90s with great success, so I’m excited to see it arrive…

Can Your Shower Give You Dry, Itchy Skin?

Merry Christmas! With the cold weather and snow this time of year, you may be suffering from dry, itchy, winter skin. And, you might think a hot, steamy bath or shower will have a hydrating effect.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Instead of adding moisture and easing the itch, those warm baths and showers just might be a big part of what caused the problem in the first place…
