I’m forty-three, and last year I had one of the best times of my life attending the Fab Over 50 (FOF) event! I met the founder, Geri Brin, who welcomed me to this exciting beauty bash. New product launches, mini make-overs and hair trims were all part of the event and well known/celebrity makeup artists such as Sandy Linter, Sue Devitt and Paula Dorf, among others, were on hand giving clients tips on how to look their best.
I remember watching Mark Garrison cut attendees hair in amazement as he was fast and oh-so-good as …

April is Rosacea Awareness Month, and with the excitement of all of those beautiful, spring cosmetic collections, we can lose sight of what is most important for making our makeup application look good: taking care of our skin first. BeautyStat was able to get in touch with Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Mt Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, to tell us some important facts about rosacea. Dr. Zeichner has been quoted in various media outlets including Women’s …

As National Acne Awareness Month kicks off, there are some statistics, reported by The Wall Street Journal that strike me as interesting: acne is not just a teen and kids problem anymore.
According to the article, dermatologists are seeing more and more 20-40 year old women. It also showed that in a 2008 survey of 1,013 people, 51% of women reported having acne in their 20’s, while 35% had it in their 30’s.

We’re excited about the Skinceuticals new Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50, which is a brand new first-to-market mattifying fluid that provides a sheer protection for all skin types (even the …

“Great,” I grumbled to myself as I twisted open the lid to SkinCeuticals’ new A.G.E. Eye Complex ($85 at skinceuticals.com.) The thick, creamy balm mocked me from its little jar. It promised a host of positive benefits for my dark circles and nascent crows’ feet, but things were not looking so good for my mascara. What, may I ask, is the point of having beauteous under-eyes if they only end up smeared raccoon circles? But, being a brave and true tester, I patted the white eye …
