Tweet There is a famous woman who is very skinny. I won’t mention her name, but she is a very beautiful, rich and powerful woman. She is extremely, sometimes painfully thin, and I believe that she really tries at it, perhaps even resorting to diet pills or drinking caffeine or simply deprivation to achieve that level of thinness. No one is that thin without trying, and because of her previous more shapely body, I believe that her extreme thinness is due to her dieting habits. She also happens to have skin that can look bad at times. I’ve known...

Brighten Your Winter Complexion : Self Tanning and Snow
Tweet It seems sort of ludicrous to worry about self tanning when there is snow on the ground. At the moment I’m writing this, there is over a foot of snow on the ground where I live in the Cleveland/Akron area of Ohio. Oh yes, we get plenty of snow, and we have long, cold winters, but this winter hasn’t been too cold or too much snow for that matter. We just suddenly got walloped out of the blue with the white fluffy stuff, and it seems like it might continue for a few days, so it’s only natural...
Can Body Washes for Acne Help?
Tweet There are a lot of people who suffer not only acne on their face, which is bad enough, and I have to say, the worst place to have acne in my opinion, but I’m biased because that’s where I’ve always had the worst problem with my acne before, but they also have acne pretty badly on their body. It may be on their back or chest usually , the two most common areas besides the face to have acne because of where and how many oil glands there are in these areas and how they react and collect...
Skin Brightening Soy
Tweet I’m always on the lookout for new ingredients that can give my skin that natural luminescence that makes you look so young, fresh and energetic. I think that’s what we’re all looking for, after all, isn’t it!? There are a number of ingredients which help to keep the skin looking fresh and young, probably one of the more notable ones for helping you look bright and luminous is vitamin C in a very concentrated form. However, there are other ingredients that will also infuse your skin with that coveted natural dewiness that usually are an indicator of youth...
It’s Valentine’s Day – Have Some Chocolate!
Tweet I know we’ve talked a TON about how diet affects your complexion on this blog, and there is a good reason for that – diet really does have a huge impact on your complexion. But that does not mean that you are forced to live a life where you can never enjoy another sugar, fatty, deep fat fried, or chocolaty delicious morsel again. No, it really doesn’t. The trick is to not do it all the time, and just not to over do it when you decide you do want to indulge in some of the more “no”...
Herbs in Acne
Tweet Using herbs to treat acne is nothing new. In fact, in Chinese medicine, herbs and herbal acne remedies have been used for years as a means to help calm the inner turmoil in the body to help the acne heal and also to stop new acne lesions from forming. Acne is, after all, a form of inflammation and irritation, and Chinese medicine practice is to treat what they term as “internal heat” by using a “cooling” herb or natural remedy to counter the internal heat caused by raging hormones, free radicals that are roaming rampant, destroying healthy skin...
Be Sure to Look for Coupons on Your Fave Skin Care
Tweet With this recession, mine and my husband’s pay has dried up quite a bit. Not only are our jobs paying less now and giving us less of a raise, but we both have sidelines that rely on sales of goods to consumers, and a lot of that income, as a given, has really dried up as well. It’s not disastrous, but we’ve definitely had to tighten the household purse straps if you know what I mean. One of the areas that I’ve found I’ve become quite good at tightening is spending on extraneous items like skin care products,...
When You Can Feel a Pimple Forming…..
Tweet I’m writing about this fun phenomena, because I just experienced it last night, and am now seeing the result of this funny little pain that occurs on my face when I can feel a pimple forming on it. I swear, when I feel those cortisol (stress) hormones elevate in my body, my heart rate accelerate and my breathing become shallow when I’m under a lot of stress, I can almost feel a new hormonally fueled pimple forming under my skin. That’s exactly what happened to me yesterday when I was totally stressed out about these wedding reception invitations...
Why Does My Skin Look Clearer On My Off-Pill Days?
Tweet So, I understand that the birth control pill, or at least some variations of it with lower and more even dosed hormones supposedly, is supposed to help keep my hormones in check and help clear my skin up. One of them, the Yasmine pill, is even advertised as a pill that helps to clear the skin up. I know that I have had relative success over the years in using birth control pills to help keep my skin clear, but they are not an effective catch all, and you can still break out while on the pill. The...
