Being as pale as I am, tanning can be a trying pastime. Between choosing the wrong color and the usual awful self-tanner smell, I rather get my teeth pulled (I might be embellishing on that comparison). But Jergens, however, has changed the rules of the self-tanning game.
Jergens Natural Glow +Protect Daily Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 20 ($8.69) gives you exactly that: a natural glow. My skintone doesn’t tan easily, and most self-tanners have to be layered for me to get a good shade. Natural Glow in Medium to Tan gave me …

AmLactin body lotion has been used in my home for many years. My mother suffers from severe eczema and dry skin — so much so, she does not grow hair on her legs. I recall her going to the dermatologist and being prescribed a medicated lotion called Lac-Hydrin. Lac-Hydrin (also known as Ammonium Lactate) definitely healed, exfoliated the dead skin and moisturized my mother’s skin.
Old Look
She began looking for an over-the-counter, lotion-type product that was comparable to the Lac-Hydrin prescribed to her. Her dermatologist recommended AmLactin. This was over 10 years …

First things first: I love using the Glo Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device, yet, it was given to me and costs nearly $200.00 at Sephora – and I buy my refills for $45.00 when needed.
It works. It’s won awards and is incredibly efficient. With that being said, I agreed to sample the Prime Time Smile Active Blue Teeth Whitening Kit ($44.00) because it was more affordable and was said to whiten teeth in less than 30-minutes!
It’s an easy enough product to use. You first apply the whitening gel via a pen …

In recent beauty news, it appears that some of your personal care products could be affecting your health. But, after reviewing the UFC-Que Choisir’s (the Western European nonprofit consumer association) article online, I believe their concerns are valid and their analysis of 66 products is accurate.
The “endocrine disrupters” (which affect hormone production) found in the products were preservatives, anti-bacterial agents, sunscreens and emollients. Levels of these disrupters were also determined.
Que Choisir wrote that they compared the level of propylparaben in Nivea Water Lily & Oil Shower Gel (0.00268%) to the Scientific Committee on …

For as long as I have been getting my nails done, I can remember seeing CND (Creative Nail Design) products on my glamorous technician’s desk. They always smell good, look pretty and most importantly, get the job done.
Two of their best-selling products I have the pleasure of reviewing is their coveted Solar Oil ($7.50) and Cucumber Heel Therapy ($15.00). Solar Oil is one of my all-time favorite products. What is Solar Oil, you might ask? Its a synergistic blend of naturally light oils, which deliver INTENSE therapy for dry and …

Although Spring and Summer bring warmer temperatures, we still need to hydrate our skin. But you don’t have to use rich, heavy body creams and butters to deeply moisturize your skin. Last year, we were impressed with the lightweight Vaseline Total Moisture Body Lotion. But this year, the Dial 7-Day Moisturizing might be the best new body moisturizer.
The Brand Says: The Dial 7-Day Moisturizing Lotion penetrates deeply to keep your skin soft and hydrated for up to seven days! Each day, your skin loses vital moisture and nutrients. Replenish your skin …
