BEWARE OF HEAVY METAL!

Image
Last year I had attended a fascinating symposium on antioxidants at the World Trade Center. The room was filled with doctors and scientists whom all agreed that our skin is in BIG trouble thanks to increased pollutants in the environment. What the scientists went on to reveal is that skin cancer rates for city dwellers is higher than those that live in rural areas. The reason there is such a high risk of skin cancer is because we are completely bombarded with the heavy metals in the air, water, costume jewelry, televisions and more on a daily basis. There's no escaping it. When heavy metal and sun combine it disrupts the function of the cell, which leads to skin cancer, acne, dry skin, rosacea, and all kinds of other health issues.  If you have acne, rosacea or other skin problems I first recommend a good shower head filter to help filter out heavy metals coming from out of your pipes.

THE CULT KOREAN BEAUTY SECRET 10X's BETTER THAN HYALURONIC ACID

SHOP KOREA Korean beauty is popping up in the press these days- A LOT. There's are lot of money being pumped into brands going into Sephora, Target, Urban Outfitters and The Face Shop.  Sadly Americans still don't have any idea that the best stuff still hasn't even hit our shores yet, but that's all soon about to change. ENTER the silkworm cocoon. South Korea has a booming silk trade business. The silkworm cocoon is the home to a little silkworm that feasts on mulberry leaves rich in amino acids. After the little guys have gorged themselves on mulberry leaves they spin a cocoon and go to sleep. After their metamorphosis they exit the cocoon leaving us behind a little present (after the silk has been removed). The area where the moth exits the cocoon is the part that is cut off by manufacturers leaving an opening big enough to put on our fingers. I can assure you no moth is harmed. The Koreans first introduced it to me as a blackhead exfoliator, but by accident I decided...

Who doesn't have an Evian spray in their beauty arsenal, but did you know you could be doing more harm to your skin than good if you misuse your beauty spray??? It's not your fault. We've been trained to whip out that spray to luxuriously "hydrate" our skin especially during long flights or in dry climates. NO! Have you ever noticed that the more you lick your lips (especially in winter) the faster they dry out? Guess what? The same thing happens when you spray a water mist directly on to bare skin! Beauty sprays are to: 1. Set Makeup 2. Assist in helping serums and moisturizers absorb. Do NOT look to sprays (even hydrosols) to hydrate your skin unless you are using a spray that contains beauty oils in them, BUT be careful as some sprays can throw off the skin's pH (protective barrier) making you more prone to acne and advanced aging. Using a beauty spray can even make you more prone to skin cancer. If your skin is dry it can't protect itself. If the spray...
