How to treat your dark spots - voice from experts
2007-05-04 16:17:00
Remember at the beggining of this year, we had an article named: "What cosmetic product does dermatologist use?" , after I wrote the article, I started to pay more attention to Dr. Baumman. She started blogging on Yahoo which received more than 300,000 unique and growing; she added a forum on her Skin Type Solution; and she has been featured on some popular women magazine's like O' magazine, instyle magazine talking about botox and some of the solutions for problem skins. I was browsing around today and found another one of her article about how to fight with dark spots. (which is the perfect timing for some of us who care less for sun protection in summer.) One of the questions I have about is skin-lightening pack: hydroquinone She says: I consider hydroquinone an invaluable tool for treating dark spots. It decreases the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that stimulates melanin-production, by up to 90 percent - with dramatic results. Hydroquinone is available in both prescript...

Review - Maybelline superstay silky foundation
2007-05-03 17:25:00
A while ago, my friend Amy recommended Maybelline superstay skily foundation to me when I was complain about another liquid foundation I was using. Few weeks later, I love the product so much that I have to share it with all of you. First is first, my skin condition: (I am Asian so my skin tone is more yellowish.) sensitive, breakout, oily in summer and super dry in winter. (The worst you could imagine. )I don't even wearing makeup too much simply because it is hard for me to find the right product. It's extremely frustrating when it comes to foundation. I have few problems with most foundations: 1. They make my face shine in summer and they show my dry skin in winter. 2. Most of them worsen the break outs. 3. They usually need to reapply every 6 hours. (esp. in summer) 4. Some of them make my skin irritating. I was brave enough to buy Maybelline's new superstay without even trying it consider I've never been a fan of their brand. (I've only owned their eyelash condition...

Introduce of Remedy - a health magazine
2007-05-02 16:05:00
I found it's weird that as important as health to us, we actually care less about it. We spend less time and money on health education than almost anything else. Not until when I was talking to one of my friends earlier this week about health magazines, it suddenly dunned on me that I don't even own one! Not even one! And how many fashion magazines do I have? Tons. (enough to open up a magazine store, seriously) :. You know what I did next was trying to do as much catch ups as I can. (Isn't that the way it has always been. Better late then never, right?) Someone recommended Remedy . Not only it is free, it also has many free samples available for our household needs without any additional subscription.(Provided by their advertisers of course.) But I thought, why not? It's a win win situation for consumers. Don't get me wrong, some of the health blog owners online are better than professional these day. But I am a "out of sigh out of mind" person so sometimes I need a little re...

4 simple ways to rescue your pores
2007-05-01 18:35:00
Is your pores getting bigger and bigger everyday? Is your skin look like orange surface? Foundations and powders might be able to cover it up, but they won't be able to improve your situation. Some of them will clog your pores and make them even bigger! Your pores need rescue. FACT: Your skin needs more water If your body is dry, your skin will be dry.
