Although the months are slowly getting cooler, it’s still important to protect your skin from the sun. Here at the Beauty Chat headquarters in Southern California, it’s actually still hot; therefore, it’s easy to remember to use sun block. But for those other regions of the world where it’s getting colder, it’s still vital to use precaution against the harmful affects of the sun.

My latest skin care choice has been DDF (Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula) Protect and Correct. It’s a UV moisturizer with SPF 15 that’s ideal for keeping skin healthy and beautiful. Not only does this UV moisturizer work to protect the skin, it is also designed to minimize existing sun damage. In fact, since the line was developed by a dermatologist, it is designed to “deliver effective results backed by professional knowledge.” More »

I have always had bothersome blemishes; although it has improved over the years, there were many trips to the dermatologist back in the day.

I know it is “darkest before the dawn,” but I hate that when I try to adopt a skin care routine, the problem increases. Honestly, it makes me want to avoid washing my face altogether. To tell you the truth, I usually just remove my makeup and call it a night.

Living and working in Southern California during the summer months means lots of sun, lots of heat, and lots of sweating. None of which I’m fond of in the least bit, yet having been here my entire life I’ve learned to cope. However, there’s one thing that I can’t seem to get over, the sweating.

Every year, I run to my local drug store in search of a new deodorant to help combat any smelliness. Luckily, I don’t have much to combat, but I do want to make sure I’m dry and fresh at all times.

I have found a new facial product that I absolutely love! Now, before I fill you in on the details of this wonderful find, I have to warn you… it is extremely addictive. You will want to use it every night once you try it; however, the bottle does say you should only use it about three times a week. But does anyone really follow directions?  I know I usually don’t.

The product I’m talking about is called Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask.

A few weeks ago, I was telling a friend that my current skin care products just weren’t doing anything for me. I had been using them for well over a year and didn’t really see any results. That’s when she mentioned the Clinique 3-Step skin care system. I wasn’t sure if it would do anything since I was already on a “3-step system” and wasn’t pleased, but after only four days, I was convinced!
