Fresh Ideas
March 2010

Hormonal Aging?
Depletion of hormones associated with menopause can result in much drier skin, lines & wrinkles and cellular water loss. Look for products containing phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogens) to naturally improve elasticity and deliver essential moisture.

Splotchy?
To calm red flushes to the face, neck or chest try a cream with hydrocortisone as an anti-inflammatory. Works quickly to soothe as well as replenish the skin.

Forehead breakout?
Breakout on the forehead and along the hairline can be caused by hair conditioners and styling products. When applying product use sparingly around the face - if at all.

That gross secondhand smoke!
Secondhand smoke is made of sticky oils and waxes and more than 4,000 thousand chemicals that appear to constrict blood vessels and prevent cells from turning over. What that means for skin is dryness, wrinkles and maybe skin cancer. Stay away!

Dry skin?
Make the most of your body moisturizer. Apply moisturizer straight onto clean, damp skin - after a bath or shower is the ideal time. This helps seal extra moisture into the upper layers of the skin, making it softer than ever!

Coffee time?
Coffee is a popular exfoliant for the body. It's rough texture makes it effective for smoothing rough spots on the skin.

Tweeze control!
Whether thick or thin, arched or straight, brows take shape with tweezer control. The esthetician's favorite is the pointed tweezers. Uproot tiny hairs easily, remove stubborn ingrowns effortlessly, and great for super-short hairs. The best!

Chapped Lips?
Wind and chilly weather really zap the moisture from your lips. Use a thick, waxy lip balm to soothe and protect them from drying out.

Chipped Nail Polish?
To extend the life of that manicure use this trick! After each coat of polish bring the brush along the edge of the nail. Then when applying the topcoat bring the brush under the tip of the nail as well. This provides extra protection that will prevent the chip before it even happens!
