Friday Fitness: Firmer Face with out the Knife (or Needle)
When you look in the mirror do you first notice the sagging or fatty areas? If so, there are some exercises that you can do tighten up your face without going under the knife or needle.

You got up this morning and as you pulled up your britches you felt something strange on the back of you thigh.

Product Review: Striking Skin Care with SmartPeptides
Striking Skin Care with SmartPeptides is marketed towards menopausal women, and while I’m not even perimenopausal yet I have noticed this year that I’m starting to get a little “jowly” (as my mother calls it) and that my crow’s feet are getting very prominent. Menopause brings about even more lovely changes like decreased collagen production and the breakdown of elastin fibers, so essentially, your face falls into your lap. Lovely. I’m all about preventative care, so I started out using Striking Multi-Peptide Serum. Within 2 weeks, I had an “aha!” moment in the mirror. The serum was just what I needed to perk up my tired looking skin. It supplied my skin with a lot of moisture and a big boost of collagen-building SmartPeptides.
Beauty on a Budget – Sunless Tanner
This time of year, when our legs don’t see the sun for months on end I recommend a little pick me up by using a sunless tanner. I am a big fan of the New Jergens Natural Glow Express. It will give you a summer tan in only 3 days, once you achieve the tan you want, maintain your look with the original Jergens Natural Glow and Jergens Natural Glow Face with SPF 20.
Sunscreen and Moms – It Is Not Just For Summer and Kids
Whether you have had a family member diagnosed with skin cancer or are concerned with premature aging caused by sun damage, the importance of sunscreen is popping up everywhere. Some of use live in areas where you would think that sunscreen is a seasonally skin care product and others know that it needs to be used daily. Well, I am here to say that all of us need sun protection daily all year round, not only in summer months. It can differ by region on how high the SPF in your sunscreen needs to be to protect your skin year round.
Mom Review – Belli Skin Care Solutions
Belli Specialty Skin Care Solutions uses the line “Embrace Life, Enhance Beauty” in their logo, now what busy mom does not strive for that? I know I do and I thought exactly that when I tried Belli products. These products are designed by a physician, Jason Rubin, MD while his wife was pregnant. His goal was to provide a skin care line that she could use that would be safe for her and their baby. By creating products that are free of artificial dyes, parabens, fragrances, phthalates, these products are safer for babies while in their mommy’s tummies, nursing and after baths.
Skin Care Products – Order of Application
There are so many products out there and it can be confusing once you get home and then line up all your products on your counter. Panic sets in and then products do not get used. As we try to find simpler things in life, we forget the reason why we bought them in the first place and then end up not using them.
