Did you ever see those salon commercials where the woman’s hair is so shiny, you are just green with envy?  Well, I have and I was determined to find a product that gave my hair that incredible shine.  I might not be a salon model, but my hair was going to look as good as one!

I think I found that product with Beverly Hills Be Inspired Shine & Repair Serum with Argan Oil.
I wasn’t familiar with Argan oil so I looked it up.  Wikipedia defines Argan oil as an oil …

No matter what your skin type, exfoliation can be a good thing.  Exfoliation benefits dry skin by removing excess flakiness that can make skin look dull. It also benefits oily skin by clearing out the pores to prevent acne breakouts. And it benefits skin that is starting to show signs of aging by improving skin’s texture.
 
Well if you’re looking for younger looking skin, look no further than Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir.  This little exfoliation expert hydrates to resurface skin for tighter, smoother skin.

The formula contains glycolic acid (an alpha …

That is the philosophy of the skincare line, Kahina Giving Beauty. With the strong belief of creating rituals, founder Katharine L’Heureux discovered the effectiveness of Argan Oil when visiting Morocco. With the help of a chemist, Katharine worked to create a simple yet effective organic skincare line.
The oil is extracted from the nut of the Argan tree by the Berber Women in Morocco. “Our line is a reflection of these women: of their culture, their hard work, and their beauty, both inner and outer” states Katharine who donates 25% of …

Adult acne is one of the most common skincare problems that adults combat long after puberty. According to Acne.org, “50% of adult women at some time in their adult lives are affected by acne.” The good news; however, is that treatment for pesky breakouts is available, affordable and more accessible than ever.

World renowned dermatologist, Patricia Wexler, most noted for her innovative skincare consultations and tough-love approach to adult acne, has recently produced a complete daily acne system, ‘Acnescription’- a ground-breaking approach to treating, healing, and preventing future breakouts for mature …

Sometimes, you wake up and realize you’ve gone far too long between salon appointments, and worse, you don’t foresee making it there in the reasonable future either. You have weeks of frizzy, badly-behaved hair with no redeeming hope in sight. And by ‘you,’ I mean ‘I,’ of course. With this bad hair month in mind, I tested Redken’s Real Control Slim Supreme Slimming Serum (www.redken.com for salons).

The serum packs cationic conditioners, protein, ceramide, and shea butter to hydrate, then smooth the hair cuticle, temporarily reducing volume …

Last week, Lierac celebrated the 35th anniversary of its signature product, Phytolastil. A French physician created the gel and serum duo as a gift to his wife to remedy her post-pregnancy stretch marks, and lo and behold- Lierac was born.
