Ladies, you do not have to tweeze those pesky chin hairs one by one with tweezers anymore. I have come across a great devise for facial hair removal, the Epicare So Easy. So petite, this devise will fit in your purse, makeup bag, or even your pocket if you really feel the need to keep it with you. This facial hair remover is a small-coiled spring with a handle on each end. To use it, you simply bend it in the shape of an upside down U and twist away. More »

Interesting name, wouldn’t you say? Well, it is more than just a name; it is the philosophy behind Nude skin care. This company creates its products to be biocompatible by using high performance bioavailable ingredients. The focus is that it works with your body’s own biology, so it recognizes it and helps it deliver the intended results.

One question and answer I found particularly interesting on the Nude web site was:

Why do we feed our skin chemicals we would never consider eating?

Are you looking for something to get rid of that nasty scar? Well, while at the recent ASAPS convention, I found this great product called Mederma ®.

Mederma introduced a new cream this year called Mederma Cream + SPF 30. According to the company, this is a 2-in-1 product that answers the need for scar therapy and sun protection, all at the same time. Mederma Cream + SPF 30 works to soften, smooth, and reduce the appearance of old and new scars. It also protects scars from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can discolor and worsen the appearance of scars. It is safe for sensitive skin and the only scar-reducing product with SPF 30. More »

According to Onamia Chun, the Senior VP of Fuglylab.com: “The name, Fugly Lab, is the antithesis of the typical beauty company; this is exactly why I love the name so much. Fugly Lab is not like any other beauty company and it never will be.”

(Fugly Lab’s very own Onamia Chun.)

Chun also commonly uses this tagline: “Fighting Ugly One Sample at a Time.” Get it? With its catchy (and totally clever) company name, Fugly Lab offers sample-size sets of makeup, skincare, hair care, and bath and body products, while providing the huge benefit of trying before buying. Based in Los Angeles, Fugly Lab held their launch party early May this year, and although I wasn’t able to make it, the pictures from their event are available to the public. I always love that! It’s like a “See what you missed, and hope you can make it to our next event” sentiment. For sure.

Last week I indulged in a summer vacation full of fun, sun, and lots of water; a houseboat trip to Lake Powell to be exact. Located in Southern Utah, this large body of water is an ideal destination for those who love splashing around. However, the downside of such activities — the dreaded sunburn.

Luckily, I was covered…in Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. This stuff is amazing. I admit that I have always been ridiculously lazy when it comes to applying sun block. In fact, I usually don’t use any at all, even when I am at the lake where 120 degree temperature is the norm. I have always had the foolish approach that my burn turns into a tan, so why worry about it? Well, skin cancer is a good reason to worry about it!

I met Erin at the Total Beauty Summit…I know, how many fabulous people did I meet there? A lot. But Erin, and the company she works for, really stood out amongst the crowd. You see, Erin works for this AMAZING company called Belli. Belli is dedicated to specialty skin care focused on making sure that mom, baby, and unborn baby are safe and healthy.

How, you ask? Well, Belli products are specifically designed for expecting and new mothers. It is geared to help aid them in a time of uncertainty, when their bodies are changing and they are experiencing unique skin care issues — a time when their concern for safety is heightened. The brand supports the expectant mother and provides her with choices in skin care, for both herself and baby.

Belli specialty skin care comes in three lines: More »

(Angelina Jolie ~ before and after)

I think it’s pretty much safe to say yes, celebrities still heavily influence the growth and popularity of plastic surgery trends. In addition, Reality TV such as Dr. 90210 has played a major role in the public seeing firsthand the “reality” behind plastic surgery; and for many people, this has inspired them to go forward and undergo some sort of improvement.

I have been active in sports my entire life, so when I heard about MISSION Product ™, I was excited to try out their skincare products. Just released in May of this year, the line boasts a lineup of hard-hitting athletes involved with the innovation and development.

With supporters such as Steve Nash (two-time NBA MVP), Mia Hamm (Olympic gold medal soccer player), and Gretchen Bleiler (pro snowboarder, three-time X Games gold medalist), it’s hard to not to take notice.

According to Nash: “I’m really proud to be a founding athlete with MISSION Product. I use all of our first five products and they are outstanding.”

Let’s face it – aging is inevitable. But with today’s science and knowledge, we are able to prevent it and slow it down so we can look healthy and fabulous at any age.

One important tactic in slowing down the aging process is providing our body with antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins.The skin is the largest organ of the body, working 24/7 to protect us from environmental pollution and sun damage, removing toxins and acid waste.

Our skin is overworked, so we have to feed it not only topically but internally.
AdorageMD ( www.adoragemd.com) has the greatest Skin Formula supplement to attack aging and make your skin adorable at any age.

This formula includes:

DMAE – to tighten skin
MSM – “nature’s beauty mineral”
Acetyl L – carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid, which working together are slowing the cell’s aging process and have positive effect on brain.
Lycopene, Green Tea extract, Resveratol – as powerful antioxidants
N-acetyl cystein – as a neutralizer of free radicals
Hyaluronic Acid – to promote skin’s elasticity and hydration, fighting the formation of wrinkles

Skin Formula was engineered so that you have to take no more than 2 capsules per day to promote healthy skin.

Just leave us a comment with the answer to this question: “How often does a person have to take oral supplements to receive all of the potential benefits from them?”

As we learn more and more about the importance of keeping our skin healthy, many of the Beauty Chat ladies have started trying various facial products. There have been quite a few skin care reviews before this one, and there will certainly more to come.

This blog features Tyra Skin Care, a brand that’s all about moisturizing. The company’s Web site claims: “4 simple steps, twice a day is ALL it takes to have the beautiful healthy skin that you were meant to have.” The four steps that they speak of include a cleanser, normalizer, surface moisturizer, and deep moisturizer. And there is actually an additional phase, a hydrating skin mist. So really, think of it as a five part process.
