As a skin care therapist, I’m constantly reading labels. I read product descriptions and ingredient lists like they were novels. My eyes scan over the often difficult to pronounce ingredients and my brain processes through each one of them in a “This does this, that does that… Oh what’s this?!” sort of fashion, and when I find something I’m unfamiliar with – I research it. Today I’m going to discuss an ingredient that I wasn’t very familiar with until I began working with…

This is a tough time for high-end beauty brands of all sorts. Sales of luxury beauty products have fallen in the U.S. since the recession started, as Americans have traded down to drugstore products or simply bought fewer cosmetics. (Sad.)
Also, American and Japanese women still take sharply different approaches to skin care. Though skin-care…

Some foods are compatible with your DNA. Other foods aren't. We know from scientific research that our present-day DNA is virtually identical to that of the caveman and cavewoman's. Over seven million years, the foods they ate become compatible with their DNA, which is our DNA today. These foods are called Paleo…

It is now known through direct clinical examination that the key to longevity, youth and health is found at the cellular level. Cellular research has demonstrated that aging is more than skin deep, it involves internal, external, and emotional factors.
So, eat well, live well, and be well.

Great looking skin is smooth, radiant, glowing, firm, unlined and "poreless". The key to achieving this is prevention and early intervention. Skin aging can begin as early as age 25. By 60 skin has thinnned and can no longer fight the effects of gravity. Not only does genetic aging affect the skin, so does sun exposure. Sun exposure can account for as much as 90% of…

You wouldn’t take a shower with your clothes on would you? No, you have to remove your clothes first before you can wash your body. It’s the same with your face, first you have to remove your makeup and the day’s grime before you can get to the business of deeply cleansing your skin and pores. Double cleansing every evening has been a staple in Asian skincare for years and…

Don't forget about your hands. They are always exposed to the environment and are abused by our actions. They are one of the first places aging is seen, along with the neck and décolletage (chest).
In the winter handcream is a must, and so are gloves. Gloves are not just meant for warmth, but also for protection from the elements. You may not get cold hands when…

It is very affordable and you don't have to pay monthly. You can upgrade as you grow.…

In the last couple of years there has been a lot of talk about personal care products needing to be "paraben" free. There is some controversy out there regarding this, but I believe in staying away from anything harmful to our cells and our bodies. Since everything we put on our skin gets absorbed into our bodies, I want to use only the healthiest ingredients out there but yet you something that actually works. If there are not parabens, there is usually other ingredients for preserving…

I have the honor of having been invited to speak and give a demo of acne extractions at the general session of the LNE show at Long Beach. It will be September 11, 2011; but I'm not sure of the time yet.
I'm very excited to share my knowledge and experience here. Being an acne clinic owner, I have done thousands of extractions and trained many employees how to do them all day long without hurting themselves or the client. Hope to see you there!
