Cellulite! Most women are haunted by it! Yes, even thin women!

It’s a skin condition that makes the skin dimpled or look like orange peels. It’s caused by large fat cells that pulls the skin thus creating the dimples. The usual problem areas are the stomach, thighs and buttocks.

Many products and medical procedures have been developed to address this problem. Since most women are afraid of undergoing painful and expensive medical treatments, they’d rather buy products that can aid in their problem areas. Slow results, cheap and safe!

L’Occitane Almond Delightful Shape is a cream gel formulated to both firm the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. From the very first application, the skin is softer and more supple. With continued use, the appearance of the skin improves—it’s noticeably smoother and firmer.

Rain or shine, we always need protection from the sun!

Our skin screams for moisture during summer. Here’s a great product from NARS that not only gives moisture but also makes the skin more radiant.

Summer is a great time to flaunt those sun-approved beauty products. Here’s one that should always be in your beauty or beach bags.

A vitamin enriched hydrating toner to refresh, rehydrate, and balance the skin. Use daily after cleansing and whenever a burst of energizing refreshment is desired. Pure, certified organic essential oils of Bulgarian rose super hydrate, while ylang ylang promotes a sense of euphoria.

Summer is here and the temperatures has increased and so are our chances of having dry and irritated skin. As much as we want to achieve that perfect tan, the sun can do a lot of damage to our skin causing it to be very irritated and sensitive. Once our skin is irritated, we are not allowed to use strong skin products, but L’Occitane has something gentle and very mild that anyone can use.

This is a delicate and silky facial cleanser for sensitive and irritated skin. This moisturizing cleanser gently cleans, dissolves makeup, and tones in one gesture thanks to the simplicity of a blend of shea butter and organic cotton extract. With no need to rinse, this delicate cleansing milk protects the skin from the irritations that hard water and heat can cause. With one gentle application it returns suppleness and brilliance to your skin.

Everyone of us has always been haunted by pimples, mild acne or even major acne. It is not only in puberty age does one encounter acne, but until adulthood. It is such a pain to have those pimples and blemishes. Once an area has been treated, another area will be infected. It’s like a vicious cycle.

Going to the dermatologist may be the best solution, but not everyone can afford laser treatments and dermatologist exclusive medicine. A lot still buy from cosmetic counters and drugstores. Even if the results from these are slow just as long as the product works.

Philosophy is actually a nice brand. I’ve always used their shower gels and lip gloss and now they offer a four-step approach to treating acne that is benzoyl peroxide free (I presume no stinging XD):

Step 1 - suppress excessive oil production, Step 2 - shed the pore wall (exfoliate), Step 3 - help sanitize the skin to protect against bacteria, and Step 4 - seal the skin to help keep the good treatments in and the bad elements out. The result? Clear, glowing skin that’s free from blemishes and impurities.

Set includes a 3.3 oz On A Clear Day Super Wash For Oily Skin, 1 oz On A Clear Day Blemish Serum for Adult Acne, 1 oz On A Clear Day Hydrogen Peroxide Cream, and a 1 oz On A Clear Day Protection Cream.

I went out of town a few days ago and has experienced ultra-chapped lips from the very moment I stepped in the Hongkong airport until I got home a few days after. It was really a bother, not only does chapped lips look terrible, it also hurts.

This little tube here that I found in my make-up kit was my lifesaver! It’s called Lip Silk from the Laura Mercier skincare collection. It retexturizes and removes dry, flaky skin. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth since it has a nourishing blend of vitamin E and essential fatty acids.

We’ve always wanted to go to the facialist and dermatologist to pamper our skin but didn’t have the time to do so. Eventually, we made our own beauty regimen based on what we have read in magazines, friend feedback and just plain impulse buy.

Before cluttering our vanity desks with beauty products we don’t even need, let’s see first what our skin needs. Basically, our problem is environmental exposure and aging.

I think this is just one of the beauty products that we should have and we can forget about some. It’s a weekly treatment for environmentally caused skin aging, reverses damage, provides instant hydration, and restores youthful clarity.

It increases skin clarity, brightness, and firmness thanks to a blend of pure vitamin C that infuses powerful antioxidant protection to rejuvenate and protect against free radical damage; retinyl palmitate that encourages rapid cell renewal to reveal a brighter complexion; and glycerin and beta carotene that condition instantly, leaving skin soft and smooth.

So simple to use, we can do our own facials at home. The set includes four Vitamin C Treatment Powder packettes, four Pure Vitamin C Treatment Gel packettes, .5 oz. Cellular Replenishing Serum, one mixing tray, and one fan brush.
