Are all women obsessed with cellulite? A few weeks ago, i was asked to join a panel of women to discuss that very subject. (The Episode Here) Of the three women interviewed, it seemed that I was far more concerned about cellulite then the other women interviewed. Btw, the other women just happened to be two clients of Faces Beautiful, Lisa Wexler, host of the Lisa Wexler radio show and Kathy McShane, CEO of Women Who Launch. After watching the segment, you’ll see that neither Kathy or Lisa seem to care that much about cellulite and just take it as part of our natural aging process. Well, I left that interview feeling like maybe I was a bit to obsessed with having thin, tight smooth legs.
Well, I’m over that feeling after a trip to Italy. Lol. No really, on the plane ride out I’m reading US Weekly, and the last page is a full page article explaining the science of cellulite and the new advances to reduce cellulite. I read through and thought, maybe there is a cure. But, I didn’t buy it. Btw, the product they had given me to try on Better TV helped to smooth my legs a bit, but didn’t really take away the cellulite. But, hey, smooth is still an improvement. Then as I’m in the airport in Rome, passing the duty free shop, I see a large advertisement for a cellulite product by Collistar. It was a two step serum and lotion treatment which promised to reduce cellulite. Well, I just couldn’t resist the temptation. One of these products may actually help. I figure I’m going to moisturize my legs every morning and night anyway, so I may as well keep looking for the one that will actually improve the texture too….! Right?

I recently was featured on a "Better TV" episode. I was one of three women who put three creams to the test for three weeks to see if it would make a difference on their cellulite problem areas. Below are the links to the coverage of the episode. Watch and leave your feedback.
Battling Cellulite: The Test
Battling Cellulite: The Results
Women have had a love for makeup since the beginning of time. Our fascination with makeup begins as early as our toddler years, and as we grow up we eagerly learn new techniques and anticipate the introduction of new and better products. Makeup enhances us. It can transform our beauty, at just the touch of a brush. So, is there such a thing as the perfect makeup product? Probably not. Every woman has her own preference and perspective as to what is best. In the last decade, one makeup category that has gotten a ton of attention is mineral makeup. Many women know exactly what mineral makeup is. But, it is still so new that even those of us who have heard of it, we still don't know exactly what it is.
In understanding what makes mineral makeup different or better, it's best to look at what traditional makeup is all about. So, yes traditional makeup continues to do externally what is was designed to do. That is to make us more beautiful. It does. Whether it's foundations, eye shadow, blushes, lipsticks and so forth, traditional makeup makes look better. But, it doesn't make all of us feel better.
Why is that? Well,traditional makeup is made from a mixture of ingredients derived from petrochemicals. That means makeup indirectly comes from petroleum, you know oil. That doesn't make if bad, but it can cause skin problems and irritations for many women. We all know that the ozone layer has thinned out over time, which leads to so many more skin sensitivities. And, there is a proliferation of the occurrences of skin cancer. More than ever. And, this is an area that mineral makeup truly excels.
The two main ingredients in mineral makeup are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Sound familiar? Sure. Those are the typical ingredients that you see in sun protection products. So, yes mineral makeup gives you automatic, natural protection from the harmful sun rays, which with the thinning of the ozone layers have only gotten more harmful over the years. Mineral makeup is a purer concentrate for makeup. That means it's better for your skin and less likely to cause skin irritations and rashes. Traditional makeup traditionally is chock full of fillers, synthetic materials, preservatives and various fragrances. Traditional makeup is also typically heavier on your skin and therefore a bit uncomfortable too. Mineral makeup is made from finely crushed titanium dioxide and firmly crushed zinc oxide. This mixture is light, airy and filled with natural protection for your skin.
You know what the best feature is for mineral makeup? No, it's not that it's good for you. It's that it makes you look better. Really mineral makeup makes your skin look prettier. It's all those finely ground titanium dioxide and ground zinc oxide. They fill up the tiny little nooks and crannies in your skin and give you a better finish than either traditional makeup, and as light as no makeup. So, if I had to choose one product that was the end all, be all, best product.... It would be something in the mineral makeup category. Something that was good for my skin, but more importantly, made me look better. That's a winner!!

In this month’s “Beauty Launchpad” Magazine on page 92, there is an article called “Refining Oil” and no it’s not about Exxon or Mobil Oil companies!!! It’s about what are the right products to use to condition your hair. A good hair oil should be able to penetrate your hair shaft and glossen its finish. It should be able to soften coarse hair and boost the luster, while at the same time still allowing for a light-weight finish and make styling easier. A good hair oil should be able to seriously boost the shine. Finally a good hair oil should also protect and prolong the color. It sounds like an awful lot to expect of any one product. True, it is. So, what are the choices? In this article, Tracy Morin covers nine various oils. One of the nine is the Moroccan Oil. Okay, we can stop right there. Once you try Moroccan Oil, you won’t need or want to try any other. http://www.facesbeautiful.com/ Available for summer on the go use in a smaller size of .85oz or 25ml for $15.
