I might not use as much body cream during the summer months as I do during the winter, but I never leave my skin with moisturizer … regardless of the season.
If you are looking for a lighter alternative to a daily body moisturizer during summer months, you might want to consider a mousse.
Olay Quench is a mousse so it’s not as heavy as a cream and an excellent alternative for the summer. The best is to apply the Olay Quench Mousse is after your shower and it will disappear in a few seconds per body part.

Fighting fine lines in your 40s, 50s and 60s
I’m a big magazine junkie and I have to admit that Harper’s Bazaar might be my favourite. I equally like the British and the American edition.
Bazaar was the first one to break down style and beauty tips for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and YES - 70s! I know for me it was very inspiring to see that such a prestigious magazine would recognize that women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and YES 70s do still want to look attractive and they are still very much open to tips and tricks.
A few editions ago, Bazaar featured some products they considered to be essentials for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s.

I don’t agree with Paula Begoun author of Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me
I was watching Marilyn Denis’ CityLine show on City TV (on Wednesday, Mars 19) when I noticed Paula Begoun as the guest expert promoting the newest edition of her book “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me”.
One thing that I quite like about Paula Begoun is the fact that she features lower priced products that are comparable to higher priced skincare or makeup products. Not everyone can afford higher priced products and let’s face … we all have months where our beauty budget is smaller than others.
Did you know you could buy loads of beauty products on ebay?
Seriously, have you noticed how many products are under the eBay beauty category?
A few weeks ago, I was doing a search for an anti-aging product and I noticed that eBay pages kept popping up everywhere. At first, I discounted them because I really couldn’t figure out why eBay was coming up so often, but then I started clicking on the links and noticed that these were actual beauty and anti-aging products.

It’s time to detox your body and your skin!
I’m a firm believer in detoxification because it’s something I do on a regular basis and it’s also something I feel to be essential in ensuring that my body works at it’s best and that my skin glows radiantly. A few years ago, I did a 15-day juice fast and my skin had never looked that good and my body was functioning perfectly. Just to be clear, during those two weeks, I didn’t eat any solid foods and only had vegetable juices, fruit juices, herbal teas and water. The first few days of not eating felt like cruelty and I often dreamt about food at night. By the end of week one, my body and mind had gotten used to the fact that I would not be eating food.

Do you suffer from severely dry skin in the winter?
It’s officially winter (and most likely it’s going to be a very long one)!
Alas, we undoubtedly deal with dry and even severely dry skin in the winter. If you’ve not been able to find a cream that helps you through the year’s harshest months, you might want to consider Atopalm. This concentrated formula has been specifically formulated for sensitive and dry skin. A scientific combination of ingredients including pseudo-ceramide, fatty acids and cholesterol relieves the discomfort of dry skin and strengthen the skin’s own barrier function while providing essential moisture.
Since I had never heard of the effectiveness of pseudo-ceramides before, I asked one of the distributors of Atopalm to explain the benefits in further detail.

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.
