What is Clean Beauty?
|
The saying goes, if you wouldn’t eat it, you shouldn't put it on your face. This phrase has become very popular in the beauty community because products often carry harsh chemicals and toxins that should not be put on the skin.

The United States isn’t as strict as other countries when it comes to what is put in beauty products, so consumers are spearheading the clean beauty revolution.
The Detox Market held a panel on clean beauty to discuss the industry and answer burning questions about what clean beauty is and the process behind it. Panelists were all working on clean beauty before it became a current trend and know the ins and outs...More... |

Are you SICK of hair tools that promise amazing results but end up being so complicated to use? Most of us love a good hair day, we try to replicate the way we look when we come out of a salon.

Natural & Organic Salon Care for your Hair
|
|
Are you worried about damaging your hair with the constant blow drying, straightening and products that "protect" your hair? Once the gray hair starts appearing, it gets even worse with the constant hair dyeing that is actually damaging your hair and body. Hair products have too many chemicals in them to count, much less know how to pronounce. If you go to a salon you are treated with chemical infused hair dyes that smell bad and cause an itchy scalp. With the amount of chemicals that we use in our hair from hair dyes, gels, hair spray and other products its a wonder that our hair hasn't fallen out completely. In order to resolve this issue we must figure out how to obtain the results we need without the harsh chemicals...More... |

Mess Free Grooming by Remington
|
We recently had the opportunity to review the new Remington Lithium Power Series 4-in-1 Vacuum Trimmer and found it to be amongst the best body grooming devices on the market today.
The major difference between this groomer and most others is the addition of a vacuum system to create a mess-free grooming experience. Typically using a body groomer creates a mess of trimmed hairs everywhere, and therefore limits the usable area to the shower if you don’t want a big mess on your hands. The Remington Lithium Power Series 4-in-1 Vacuum Trimmer uses a high velocity fan blade vacuuming system to create maximum power and suction to ensure trimmed hair lands in the removable chamber, not in your sink or on your floor. The plethora of included attachments enables you to trim, detail, or shave any unwanted hair...More... |
Get a Glow with Suave Visible Glow Self-Tanning Lotion
|
Tanning beds are one of the many favorite places to go for a girl in the winter. Not only to counteract pale skin, but to feel that nice warm heat and pretend to be at a nice warm beach. The UV light exposure is not good for the skin, so why not try an alternative?
There are several types of self tanners out there in the forms of aerosol sprays, lotions, and expensive spray paint treatments. One such self tanner is the Suave Visible Glow Self-Tanning Lotion. After only one use, there was already a subtle tint of a tan on my skin. The lotion is of medium thickness to where spreading is easy, and the bottle itself has tips regarding where to lather up and where to only apply a thin layer...More... |
Using Dial Acne Control Deep Cleansing Face Wash
|
Although I am in my 20's, I still suffer from daily mild to moderate acne. I have tried a multitude of products including several different face washes. When told that Dial had a new acne cleanser, I was skeptical to try it at first since I have only known Dial to have basic bar soap and body washes. I have been accustomed to Clearasil and products of the like; however I decided to try the Dial Acne Control Deep Cleansing Face Wash anyway, just to see what Dial had to offer. The face wash states that after only three days you will see a difference in how your face looks and feels. This is a false statement, because I saw results after only one wash..More... |

From Flawed to Flawless
|
Ever look at an actress and wonder with envy, “How do they have such flawless skin?” Yes, they have facials frequently and most likely use facial care products that cost as much as our rent. Along with skin care products they have individualized diets that are catered to them and all of their health needs.
The questions end here! This article will equip you with knowledge that you will make you look ‘Red Carpet’ ready. The saying “You are what you eat” does hold truth within it. When we indulge in the good but bad stuff like chips, chocolate and a cocktail here and there you most likely wake up with a new visitor on your face. Why? Simply because it is unhealthy and toxic and therefore releases out onto our skin. Changing the way you eat is a life commitment and has long term benefits..More... |
