Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Did you see the movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea? I did and though I think the movie was more about the people of Gloucester, it was a terrific movie and Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful town. My aunt was visiting with me over the holiday weekend, and today she helped me work on a floral display that my friend, …
I hope you’ve had as fun a weekend as I did. It seems like non-stop events and get-togethers since the middle of last week! And today my aunt is coming to visit for a day or two, so I’m dashing off this post. I hope I’ll be able to get one up for Thursday but …
This week has been anti-aging skincare week on Never Say Die Beauty. And I can’t end the week without focusing on of my favorite anti-aging skincare ingredients, Vitamin C. Why Vitamin C? Vitamin C, and especially the ascorbic acid form of the vitamin, has so many significant anti-aging benefits when applied topically to skin: fading …
When I look at my hands, I could cry. I should have started applying sunscreen to my hands years ago. They are covered with dark spots. Boo hoo, but totally my own fault. Warning to you younger gals, put sunscreen on your hands everyday so you won’t look like a leopard like I do! My …
Several weeks ago, I received a body care product to try out from a new-to-me brand, DerMend Mature Skin Solutions. DerMend makes several anti-aging products to protect and help reverse the signs of aging skin on the body. I remember years ago visiting my Aunt Dorothea in a nursing home at the end of her …
Months ago, Aveda sent me two new skincare products to try out, and I promptly misplaced them. Fortunately, I went through my PR boxes and found Aveda’s terrific skincare duo: Tulasara Wedding Masque Overnight for Face and for Eyes. Just a reminder, Aveda products are cruelty-free. They’re called “wedding masques” because they are recommended for …
A few weeks ago, I went for a long overdue facial. In spite of the fact that it had been over a year since my last facial, the esthetician told me that my skin was in really good condition. Taking care of my skin at home really does pay off! After she deep cleaned my …
Often I’m glad to be reminded of a skincare product that I really love but have forgotten about. Cleansing oil! This past winter, I definitely should have been using cleansing oil. Right now, my skin is nicely hydrated, but as I spend more time outdoors, it can get drier even in the summer. I’m glad …
I’ve been using Jan Marini skincare for several months now. When I went for a long overdue facial last week, the esthetician told me that my skin was looking good. Yay! My favorite among their skincare is the Marini BioGlycolic Cleanser. It’s a miracle worker as is their amazing Hyla3D hydrator serum. I’ve also been …

Oh, this month I used up a lot of big bottles. Happy day! Haircare StriVectin Hair All Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner for Frizz-Prone Hair: How usual is it to use up both shampoo and conditioner in the same month? Not very, right? But I did! StriVectin’s All Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner are one of …
I own a lot of different eye creams. In fact, I must have about 20 tubes or jars in my bathroom. But there are a very few that I actually use. As I’ve mentioned before, my eyes are sensitive, my eyelids are red from blepharitis, I have crow’s feet, occasional dark shadows under my eyes, …
A few months back, I wrote about a new-to-me natural body care brand from the Netherlands, Treets Traditions. Check out my review of Healing In Harmony Body Cream and their fab Nourishing Spirits Foaming Shower Gel here. I was delighted to get to try another of their products: Relaxing Chakra’s Body Oil, Rose and Rice Bran …
LATHER is a superlative natural and cruelty-free skincare brand that I’ve written about in the past (Tinted Lip Balm Trio and Lavender Soap Set). Whenever I go to the airport in Atlanta, I hope that I’m flying into or out of the terminal that has the LATHER store so I can run it and get …
When Ulta had its 20% off coupon last month, I went into the store to look around. On my list was a new sunscreen with SPF 50 from IT Cosmetics, Anti-aging Armour. I couldn’t find it at Ulta because it’s an exclusive at Sephora and on the IT Cosmetics website. Once I saw it, I …
