Beauty and Skincare Stories we’re working on for 2008

*** Embrace the NEW year ***

Christmas came early for me. Since October, I’ve been tracking down some really great beauty and skincare products that I cannot wait to share with you.

I’m not going to reveal it all … but I will give you a quick sneak peak of a few great stories to come:

1. New skincare products are still surfacing every single day and there are many new products to share with you.

2. A lot of acne suffers will be excited to find out that we might have found some really excellent products that can help control acne from the inside. This is the most common question I get. The minute people know that I’m a beauty editor, they immediately ask: What can I do about my blemishes? I’ve found a lot of new and exciting products.

3. We’ll be testing what is called “functional fast food” … this is an easy (if not the easiest) way of including powerful anti-oxidants in your diet.

4. Eyebrow shaping 101 for women over 35 … we’ll give you the details you need to know to ensure that you don’t allow your eyebrows to age you.

5. Detox, detox, detox! I’ve uncovered so many new products to help remove a lot of toxins from the body. Wonderful skin cannot happen in a body full of toxins.

6. Colours for makeup will be “berry” beautiful this coming spring and we’ll see how women in their mid-to-late 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s and beyond can wear these trends with style and panache.

I also have a list of experts that I’ll be interviewing during our Beauty Match Buzz podcast show:

* A doctor who will give us the 101 of laser resurfacing.

* A hairdresser from New York who has coiffed the tresses of Iman (and many other celebrity black beauties) and she will reveal the best hair care tips for black women.

* A personal trainer who will demystify many workout myths.

* Two models from a recent Dove ad campaign.

* Two women who were part of a special cosmetic rejuvenation test forum for Restylane injections.

* An expert who will talk about skincare for men.

* A doctor who will explain how a procedure can help with looser skin … without invasive surgery.

* The creator of a pill that protects your skin before you step out into the sun.
