Take Me Back

Time traveler's one and all, RoC's Retinol Correxion line has some fantastic anti-aging products,
'that will take the look of your skin back ten years.' Ten years off the face? I'm in.
RoC, the prestige skincare brand, developed strong ties with dermatologists, becoming a leader in French skincare. I remember the early years in Paris, stepping into the pristine Pharmacies, jaw dropping wide open. It was like entering into a magic, fairy tale land of beauty. Aisles and aisles filled with top end Cosmetics. The Pharmacies in Paris have everything, meds, innovative Cosmetic brands, and awesome skincare. I picked up a RoC moisturizer, mostly for the affordable price and fell instantly in love. My skin never looked gorge. It felt supple, smooth, clean, and had a healthy glow. Granted, I was twenty. RoC remained a skincare favorite. In 1999, RoC was introduced to the US. Now everyone could experience beautiful, radiant skin.

When asked to review RoC Retinol Correxion, I was thrilled.
It used to be that Retinols were only available by script through a dermatologist.
Not true anymore, thanks to RoC's advances in science & technology.

"What is Retinol?

Retinol is pure Vitamin A and the #1 dermatologist recommended cosmetic age-fighting ingredient. RoC scientists were the first to develop the methods needed to stabilize and package retinol in its pure and effective form. "

I love Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30, and UVA/UVB Sunscreen. It smells clean, has a not too light/ not too heavy feel, protects against the sun, and reduce wrinkles. Tread lightly when using  Retinol, especially if you have sensitive skin. Start by applying three times a week, and see how the skin reacts. Work your way up slowly to everyday use.

Deep Wrinkle Serum, can be applied once in the AM or PM on clean skin. The formula is light and absorbs quickly into the skin. Some tingling might happen, don't worry. It means the product is working and reversing the clock. In four weeks, you'll notice a healthy glow. In twelve weeks, visibly reduced lines. Mark my words, your girlfriends will say, "Your skin looks amazing. What are you using?'
RoC Retinol Correxion is the safest way to smoother skin. Harsh glycolics cost a fortune, sometimes burn and blister the face, taking weeks to heal.

Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream is oil- free, won't clog your pores and can be worn on top of daily moisturizer. Allure Editors' Beauty Pick, it begins working immediately, penetrating the skin while you sleep. Wrinkles, crows feet, see ya.


If you've tried Retinols and they are too harsh for your sensitive skin, RoC Correxion Sensitive has just the products for you. Retinol Correxion Sensitive's Eye and Night Creams, designed specifically for Retinol newbies. Gentler, lightweight formulas soothe the skin, while fighting anti-aging and wrinkles. Dark circles begone. 

RoC has kept their promise. Quality skincare at a reasonable price.
Bringing time travel chic en masse.

"Get up to 10 years back to the look of your skin with RoC^® RETINOL CORREXION^®.
It contains RoC^®RETINOL to penetrate deep within the skin’s surface to help stimulate skin’s natural process to improve the look of even deep wrinkles.

*On average, 10 years back to the look of your skin is based on diminished appearance of wrinkles after 12 weeks use in clinical testing. Tested on RoC^® RETINOL CORREXION^® Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, RoC^® RETINOL CORREXION^® Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, RoC^® RETINOL CORREXION^® Deep Wrinkle Serum, RoC^® Daily Resurfacing Disks. Results may vary."

Clean Skin Has Never Been So Much Fun

Clarisonic Mia

As a makeup artist, when a model or client climbs into my chair early morning, with leftover makeup on, I want to scream. I don't. I calmly remove the grime, sometimes needing heavy duty makeup remover, and get to work. There is nothing worse than an unwashed face, and dull, unhealthy looking skin. That's why, when I received Mia by Clarisonic, I want to shout from the rooftops. Woo-hoo, no more worries, The Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing is here!

Get polishing. On your way to more beautiful skin, in a mere sixty seconds.



Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser

Sonic Cleansing Benefits

Removes 6X more makeup than manual cleansing

Leaves skin feeling and looking smoother

Cleansing helps products work more effectively

Gentle enough to use twice a day

Reduces oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes

Minimizes the appearance of visible pores

"While cleansing is the first step in any skin care ritual, it is often overlooked. Typical manual cleansing can leave behind dirt and oil trapped in pores. This build-up can damage the appearance and health of your skin and keep your skin care products from working like they should.

Used and recommended by spas and dermatologists, Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems use a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. Cleaner skin is the first step toward healthier skin. And healthier skin is smoother, more radiant and more beautiful. "

Life in The Sun

I have been a fan of SkinCeuticals skincare for some time now. They make serious, kick your butt, stellar skincare. Whenever I've used CE Ferulic along with Retinol 0.5, I've been told, "my skin doesn't glow it glistens." I have raved on and on about their products before, but this post is dedicated to Skin Cancer awareness. It's no joke and a deadly disease. SkinCeuticals has joined forces with Melanoma Research Alliance, "One person in the US dies of Melanoma every hour." Those are horrifying statistics, when it's too easy to get yourself checked by a dermatologist, before you become that number. SkinCeuticals has dedicated a Facebook page where you can join the cause, share stories, find important, life saving information and educate yourself. 

Summer is coming quickly, by all means get out and have fun. Lord knows winter has been way too long. Soak up those rays, swim in the ocean, get outside for a run. Remember to apply your sunscreen generously before heading out. SkinCeuticals has a broad spectrum of Sunscreens, sure bets to satisfy everyone. What are you waiting for, click and support.

MJ Herbals

I have been dabbling in aromatherapy with makeup applications for years. I never leaving home without a few tried and true essential oils. A few drops of lavender on the temples, soothes even the most stressed out client, and says bye bye anxiety, hello peace and serenity. Even when I have the occasional, "high maintenance" celeb in the chair, they melt instantly, relaxing and softening the face. It's a great way to start an application, and makes the process more pleasant. A few drops of spearmint under the nose works wonders in sticky, smelly situations. Need an instant pick me up? Spearmint does the trick.
I stumbled upon MJ Herbals Salves in NYC at a vitamin shop in the West Village. They are all-natural, organic and beyond heavenly. The First Aid Salve cures minor bumps and cuts, leaving the skin velvety smooth. The Lavender E Salve with Vitamin E, (oh joy!) relieves burns, headaches, stress and anxiety. It's great for rashes and bumps on the body. I like to apply a tiny dab to the face before moisturizer, leaving the skin soft, radiant and dewy.

Let's not Forget the Face

I am no longer a young girl. I am a lady of a certain age and need a bit of help. While I am not a fan of the knife, or injecting poison into my face, I have been known to try a few dozen potions from time to time. Right now, I 'm digging SkinCeuticals. Their moisturizers, serums, gels and correction creams rock. The C E FERULIC Serum contains a knockout combination of powerful antioxidants. Allure magazine liked it enough to award it the Allure Best of Beauty Editors' Choice Award 3 times!!! Trust me, those editors know their stuff, they test drive every beauty product on the market.

I have also been known to bake in the sun, for hours. I love a sandy beach, the salt water on your skin, the way the sun makes you feel. Yes, I have done damage. I am using SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 to reduce some of the age spots and wrinkles on my face. I love it, it's ultra light, silky smooth and leaves me looking and feeling like a teenager. I'm smiling a lot more. I always say confidence and a smile are a women's best defense.

I Can't Take It Anymore

I've got the winter blues &

could really use a beauty fix today!

I don't know about you, but I can't take it anymore. This freezing north east weather has made me crazy. There is not one part of my skin that isn't cracked, peeling or itchy! All the scrubbing and moisturizing just isn't cutting it. My sister in law is an all natural EVERYTHING guru, she has made me more aware of what I put on and into my body. I still enjoy a burger and a beer now & then, I confess. Here are a couple natural healing products that are great for the skin and won't break the bank.

ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel helps promote natural healing. This product contains patented ASAP SilverSol Technology™ at a powerful level of 24 ppm of silver. That's right silver. It's a super potent, extremely powerful gel, creating an instant soothing feeling on the skin, healing wounds, rashes and itching. It's s

afe, non-toxic and patent approved.

If you are in need of a full immersion skin soak, pick up a bag of Dr. Teal's Therapeutic Epsom Salt Soaking Solution with healing Magensium and Sulfate. I like the Lavender essential oil formula. It soothes your fried senses, relaxes your frozen muscles and softens the skin. It smells good too. I got a huge 3 lbs. bag for $4.50 at Walmart. Sweet.

Now come on, aren't you and your skin worth it????
