Creme de la Mer 10th Anniversary

4everyoung — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 13:12:19 +0000

One of the frequent questions we get asked at this blog is, “Does Crème de la Mer really work?” This month as the luxury cream celebrates it’s 10^th Birthday, the answer is a resounding “YES!”

Launched a decade ago, the formula was founded by Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace scientist who had suffered deep facial scarring after an accident in his lab. After several years of research he created the Miracle Broth (from marine algae’s and minerals) that healed his disfigurement and found it to have a similarly smoothing effect on lines and wrinkles.

Since then the Crème de la Mer brand has expanded to award winning eye creams, body creams and even a concentrate for treatment of sensitive post surgical skin.

This month sees the launching of their Regenerating Serum – created over four years to target micro scars (the weakening wrinkles and lines in the underlying layer of the skin). Made from marine extracts, the new serum supports the natural production of youth proteins like collagen and elastin and contains tiny particles of gold which act as a hi-tech conductor to firm the skin.

4everyoung — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:49:07 +0000

Week 3

Dream Cream – The latest cult skincare cream that everyone’s coveting: Biotherm’s Skin Vivo. This cream has a very light gel-cream texture with the Skin Vivo baby powder scent. Due to it’s light texture, it feels comfortable and can be used both day and night.

Pretty Powder – To accentuate cheekbones, get your hands on Paul & Joe’s Highlighting Powder. The lovely motif in the compact highlighting powder disappears after use. The compacts (both are of the same colour – pale beige) are limited edition issues and are refillable with P & J’s regular pressed powders. Comes in a lovely clutch bag.

Lip Gloss Charm – YSL’s Your Lovely Palette for lips is the handbag accessory that’s almost too gorgeous to use. Directly inspired by the luggage tag of Yves Saint Laurent handbags, this limited-edition collector makeup palette contains one harmony of two eyeshadow shades: a deep purple and a silvery lavender. The palette contains an applicator for a precise makeup result. With matte and bright silver contrasts and an engraved cover, this fashion accessory can be attached to a handbag, belt or even a key ring. * Limited edition. * Featured in the Holiday Look 2009 collection

Hydration Saviour – Soothe skin with super natural Neal’s Yard Orange Flower Nourishing Decollete Gel. “Neal’s Yard Orange Flower Décolleté Gel is not really a gel, more of a balm, and a very nourishing one at that. It is made with 90 per cent organic ingredients, including neroli, pomegranate seed oil and horse chestnut, so it smells (and is) wonderfully uplifting. Being quite heavy, it’s good as an intensive night-time treatment.” ?The Times

Flirty Fragrances – La Praire’s three Life Thread scents smell delicious and sparkle on a dressing table, too. Simple and luxurious, each fragrance takes on the personality of it’s namesake precious metal.

The La Prairie Life Threads Fragrance Collection includes:

Platinum – an elegant and edgy chypre floral combination. Rare and unique blends of florals such as violet leaf, rose, jasmine and iris meld with woods and and leathery notes to convey luxury and power.
Gold – a seductive and spicy oriental fragrance. The complex scent of Gold seduces with the femininity of florals, sweetness of fruits such as plum and tangerine and spices of Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark and Coriander. The drydown infuses Imperial Incense with Golden Myrrh and warm woods.
Silver - a floral, woody fragrance that opens with a burst of citrus. My favorite of the three Life Threads, the heart of the Silver fragrance blooms with Tuberose, Indian Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and Orange Blossom. The drydown is a combination of woods and musk.

Perfume Power

4everyoung — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:12:51 +0000

Perfume is about pleasure; an art form created purely to stimulate the senses. In ancient Egypt it was used to gain favour with he gods. Louis XIV put precious aromatics in all the fountains of his gardens.

Today, however we use perfume to make our presence felt. It’s fragrance trigger hormones from the brain which in turn effects our mood. So the scent we use isn’t just a reflection of taste; it affects our image, the way we behave, the manner in which others respond to us and most importantly how we feel.

Coco Chanel understood the power of scent. “Perfume is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion,” she said. “It heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.” That is the message we all want to convey after all; to be memorable in all the right ways.

“A definite fragrance immediately gets our attention and makes a statement,” says Richard Hawkins, Guerlain’s director of education and development of fragrance. “If somebody wears a stronger fragrance it can be associated with power or a confident sensuality. A more androgynous fragrance – with earthy, woody notes – is indicative of influence and seriousness, unlike the messages of overly feminine scents.”

So what is the right fragrance? Perfume expert Roja Dove says: “If youwant to come across as the leader of the pack, you have to pick a scent from the Chypre family of perfumes (which have denser, woody base notes). Floral perfumes suggest a wispy girliness and will not convince people that you mean business. Oriental scents (heavy and musky) are by nature a little full-on and could come across like you’re trying too hard.”

The Chypre, when it was first created by Francois Coty, took very masculine materials like wood and moss to evoke the fawn – a Victorian symbol of masculinity. The fragrance is about tailoring, achieving the perfect balance between heady floral notes at the heart of the scent and a more robust base, to poise perfectly between male and female.

If we look at the social and political times when Coty’s Chypre perfume first came to the market, we can see it was at the same time that the suffragettes finally won the right to vote. This was followed shortly by Caron’s Tabac Blond, which was inspired by the flappers of the Twenties, who had taken up smoking and made it fashionable.

The most influential woman of our time has been Margret Thatcher. She was known to use Rochas’ Femme, and Guerlain’s Mitsouko – two heavy, archetypal masterpieces of the Chypre family. Both with a longer lasting cloud of maturity that you might associate with your mother.

“There is definitely an association between Chypres and strong, confident women,” says Lyn Harris, perfumer and founder of Miller Harris Fragrances. “These scents are characterized by being bold, impressive, sensual and enduring. They are statement fragrances, with stories and meaning behind them. Earthy, woody notes like vetiver and cedarwood suggest strength, as do certain spices like cinnamon and aromatic notes like rosemary and sage.”

So if you want to achieve the right balance and hint at the fact that you’re a power to be reckoned with then you may wish to look at the list below for inspiration. The first shows some of the influential women of today and their choice of perfume. The second is a list of some of today’s power perfumes.

Do You Have Acne Prone Skin? – Here’s How to Remove Blackheads

skinXpert — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:24:41 +0000

Are you someone who has been dealing with skin problems for years? When you are in a place where you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, you will find that there are a number of tips and tricks that you need to be aware of, so stay on top of things!

First of all, if you’re someone who needs to know how to remove blackheads, realize that you’re not alone. A lot of people have this problem, men and women alike. And because they can get worse during hormonal swings, they can strike at any time during your life.

Much like acne, you will find that taking care of blackheads can be something that you can work on easily and naturally, so take a moment to see what your options are. There are some interesting ways to remove skin blemishes in general, and when you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, there are a number of things to keep in mind.

The first thing you need to know when it comes to knowing how to remove blackheads is that basically, blackheads are made up of debris — that is, dirt and dead skin that has accumulated in your pores. The “blackhead” is the color it is because of the dirt that has gotten trapped in your pores, which can make you look dirty and grimy even though you’re really not. Therefore, fighting blackheads and making sure they don’t return is essential. To do this, you’ll need to have a routine that you stick to.

When you are looking to prevent blackheads, make sure that you take good care of your face. This means taking the time to gently wash it daily and it also means avoiding using heavy creams or lotions on it, which can clog your pores. Also remember that if you wear makeup, you should remove it every day before you sleep. This will stop it from settling in your pores and it will keep you from having issues with acne as well.

Perhaps one of the most effective ways to deal with blackheads is to squeeze them out. Before you do this, however, you need to remember that you should be gentle. Start by making sure that your face is clean and dry; ideally you should use a mild scrub to remove any dead cells.

Gently dry your face and then use a warm compress on your face for about 15 minutes. After you dry your skin again, take a piece of tissue and place it over the blackhead; using the fingernails of your thumb and forefinger, gently squeeze the blackhead out, from bottom up.

When you do this, make sure you don’t tear the skin or overly irritate it to cause scarring. Do this carefully, because if you don’t, you could make things worse rather than better. Remember that what you want to do is to get rid of blackheads. So if a blackhead does not come out on the first try, it’s perhaps best to leave it and let it go away on its own. At most, try once or twice to squeeze a blackhead out before you leave things to heal on their own.

Are you tired of all the attention those blackheads draw to your face? Do you think that you spend too much time trying to get rid of them just to have them return? Don’t drive yourself crazy and learn how to remove blackheads now! Expert: Peter Skonctue.

Acne Scar Treatments: Cheap Does not Mean Ineffective

skinXpert — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:40:00 +0000

Usually, in order to remove acne scar, an person has to deal with acne scar treatments that can be very expensive. Although acne scar treatments have been revolutionized with the advent of newer knowledge and better technology, someone who wants to remove acne scar will still have to shell out a considerable amount of money from his savings.

Moreover, a majority of acne scar treatments require multiple sessions and the recovery period usually lasts a couple of weeks. This means that a person who wants to remove acne scar by means of such acne scar treatments will have to get some good deal of time off from work, usually without pay. Acne scar treatments are not also covered under insurance plans so the expenses will come entirely from somebody’s savings.

Remove Acne Scar

Dermapasion and laser resurfacing are very effective acne scar treatments when dealing with lighter scarring. However, the cost of these acne scar treatments can amount to fifteen hundred dollars per treatment for dermapasion and three hundred dollars for each laser resurfacing session.Many individuals who want to get rid of acne scar cannot really afford these treatments, especially that both require multiple sessions in order to achieve best results, snowballing the costs up to ten thousand dollars only on efforts to remove acne scar.The recovery period for these acne scar treatments can extend up to two weeks, so the individual will have to take some time off from work, and from pay.

For individuals dealing with deep acne scars, the most effective acne scar treatments include surgeries such as punch techniques and subcision, and injections such as augmentation. These acne scar treatments also require a couple of weeks for the recovery period, the least healing time being that for augmentation.

Punch techniques and subcision are actually minor surgical procedures wherein the scar will either be cut out or loosened from the base tissue. This is done so that blood and other tissue can grow below it and fill in the depression, thereby leveling the surface of the skin.

Dermapasion and laser resurfacing are often used in conjunction with these acne scar treatments.The sessions usually try to remove acne scars that are deeper first, and then smoothen the milder scars.

Augmentation tries to remove acne scar by collagen injections, which will also trigger collagen growth beneath the skin, thus bringing the scar to the surface of the skin.Like most acne scar treatments, augmentation requires several repeated treatments, usually every three to six months.

The variety of acne scar treatments that one may avail of today indeed prove to be very effective, but aside from being very expensive, they can also be very painful.If you want to avoid going through all the expenses, pain, and hassles that come with trying to remove acne scar, then prevent acne scar from forming in the first place.

Why Prescription Drug Discount Cards Help Patients Save Money

skinXpert — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:33:14 +0000

Any person is entitled to get prescription drugs at a pre-determined price regardless of their pay, age or pre-existing conditions. There is a innovative prescription medication discount card offered to everybody that requests it, and it is free of charge! Access to medical care and rx access is available too. For too long, people lacking healthcare insurance have been paying full retail cost for their medicines but by way of this new plan they will now have someone by their side. Prescription help is available.

There are a number of organizations that have programs to lower the price tag of drugs to those individuals without medical insurance coverage. This has developed into quite an chance to save health care dollars with cardholders in all 50 states. Ordinarily, these prescription discount cards are accepted at over 65 ,000 community and countrywide pharmacies.

Several non-profit organizations and clinics hand out the cards as a way to fulfil a need and help their area throughout tough times. The discount cards have been mailed to regional United Way agencies, clinics, doctor offices and pharmacies in addition to area community health centers. These cards are not healthcare insurance, but they can ease the cost of your prescription drugs by up to 32 percent or more. The person simply presents their card to the pharmacy and they are sure that they will shell out either the pre-determined price or the pharmacy’s retail fee, whichever is less.

There are citizens that are saving $20 -$70 on a prescription as a consequence that is money they can utilize to get groceries, pay house payments or pay the utility statement. Americans are also able to obtain the prescription medication they desperately need. The cards are available at no fee to everyone and there is no maximum on how frequently they can be used.

A new manner that a number of companies are capable to help out uninsured citizens is through Prescription Assistance Programs. These plans are operated by all prescription drug company and every one is a little unusual. If a individual qualifies in spite of this, they will get their medication at no charge. To meet the criteria the patient needs to be without healthcare insurance and your household earnings can not go above selected guidelines.

There is a colossal need for prescription drugs aid at the present, in particular seeing as a bunch of persons continue to lose their jobs. A lot of citizens could do with aid at this instant more than ever.
