Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Throughout my life, I have always thought that skincare was extremely important. Taking care of your skin from a young age can help slow (but not stop) the hands of time. And a good skincare routine with great products certainly has worked for me. I’ve tried a zillion skincare products over the years. And the …
End of summer means empty sunscreen. And I know there’ll be more in September. But I’ve also got a few other empties or things that are old and have to be tossed. Sunscreens The sunscreen empties are: MyChelle Sun Shield Coconut Broad Spectrum SPF 28: In June, I received 3 sunscreens from MyChelle, …
With at least one more big beach weekend coming up (and more if you live in the warm parts of the world), here’s a quick review of yet another sunscreen that I picked up a couple of weeks ago: Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen SPF 70. I have so many sunscreens. Why do I …
Do you use glycolic acid products as part of your skincare routine? For women who want to keep the hands of time from moving too fast or for women of a certain age who want to turn back the hands of time, glycolic acid is a must. What is glycolic acid? It’s a natural AHA …
With the sad end of beach season in my neck of the woods, at least there’s something good about to happen: Ulta Beauty is hosting their 21 Days of Beauty for Fall 2015! It starts on September 6 and goes through September 26. Every day there is a different product or products on sale at …
The summer is almost over, and the beach club I belong to closes for the season in 3 weeks. I’m very sad about it because I love the short New England summer. Nevertheless, the good weather – no longer hot but still sunny – usually lasts through October (though I remember a number of snow …
I’ve previously written about the skin condition, exfoliative keratolysis, that I get every summer on my thumbs. EK is a strange skin condition that is not eczema or psoriasis. It is its own thing. It usually comes about in the summer triggered by humid conditions. It tends to show up on thumbs, hands or the …
This entire year, I’ve gotten to try out an incredible array of skincare products and brands. Many have come from brands that were new to me. And I have lots of new favorites. The Peter Lamas Spa Sensuals line has definitely entered my pantheon of skincare favorites. I received three products from the Spa Sensuals …
I am a facial mask fanatic. I just love them. From time to time, I dabble in the single-use paper or fiber masks, but I really prefer the masks that I apply to my face straight out of the tube or jar. For one thing, if it’s a mask I love, I don’t want to …
A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to try an entire range of skincare products chosen for my particular skincare needs – aging dry skin with sun damage – by a skin consultant at Paula’s Choice.

This was another good month for empties. I guess you could say I finished up a bunch of random stuff. Skintimate Shave Gel This particular pink and floral scented shave gel from Skintimate was my favorite for many years. But the last time I stocked up at Costco, they had the Shick/Olay brand instead. So I …
So many body lotions and lip balms have been coming my way lately. Word must have gotten out about my dry skin, lol. Today, I have products from the Savannah Bee Company from Savannah, Georgia to talk to you about. As you may remember, I’m a big supporter of honeybees. In fact, I am delighted …
I have been obsessed with TATCHA, the Japanese luxury skincare brand, ever since I saw photos of the beautiful indigo blue moisturizer from their Indigo Collection. TATCHA has borrowed beauty secrets from modern day geishas and combined them with cutting edge science to create the most exquisite skincare products. Because Victoria Teal, the founder and CEO, suffered from …
A few months ago, I posted about my spring/summer Target Beauty Box. Recently, I found out that Target was offering two more beauty boxes for Fall 2015, each $5 including delivery. I chose the Honor Roll box. You have to act fast to score a Target Beauty Box because they sell out very fast. The box …
I’ve been trying all kinds of sunscreens. I am looking for that perfect combination of reliably blocking the sun’s UVA/UVB rays and being comfortable to wear.
