     I'm new here.  I was just called out for sharing info that interests me.  I just realized I can share through my own blog, so I've learned how to create it. 

     I've been picky throughout my years and I believe it has worked for me in the antiaging department and thank God for it.  Since it doesn't hurt to share with those inquiring minds, I've been zealous about my products.  (Since not all my secrets are external remedies, I'm listing two external favoirites).  I use a great…

Hi fellow skincare professionals!!!! anyone using dermapen? I absolutely love it.....amazzing results not only for clients with acne scars, but also for wrinkles and just a step up for microdermabrasion, no down time... of course creating dermal damage, which will stimulate collagen production so clients will visibly see results, the porosity of skin make delivery of products superior........Of course for acne scarring, those clients will require a series of treatments, starting with…

Branding is about an attitude, and a feeling that is conveyed by the story you tell consumers about your business that elicits enough feelings of trust from the buyer that they happily open their…

I'm on a "QUEST" to find a new skincare line... I currently used Dermalogica which is a Good line BUT a little to harsh for most of my clients.

The majority of my clientele are cancer patients. The chemical treatment and medication has weakened their skin causing Chronic dryness, Irritation and Sensitization. The most important aspects of an skincare brand would be Natural, Healing, Soothing, Non-Irritating, Ingredients to help Restore and Protect their skin.

If anyone has any…
