]]> As we get older, our skin begins to reflect its age. Yes, it’s a part of our life cycle, however there are ways to retain a more youthful looking skin and slow down the process. If you’re willing to take some time to choose the right ingredients in the best anti-aging cream you can afford, along with making healthy lifestyle choices, your skin will thank you for it when you get older.

Best Anti Aging Cream Products


For years, women have thrown a significant amount of their time and money into the fountain of youth. With promises of younger, healthier looking skin at any age, anti-aging cosmetics have found a market of their own down the makeup aisle. These (at one time) new fangled creams and liquids were like soft buttery gold for women looking to restore their youthful glow. However, though many of these creams and elixirs can no doubt improve the quality and elasticity of your skin, not all anti-aging formulas are created equal. There are several products out there that claim “anti-aging” and “rejuvenating” elements, that in reality are no different from your average store brand skin lotion. Before you head out to the cosmetics department to spend a huge wad of cash on any old skin rejuvenating formula, educate yourself on the elements of these products that make them effective. These three ingredients are the most important and effective elements of any anti-aging formula.

Aloe Vera


We all know aloe as the plant gel you put on your skin after a harsh sunburn, but many overlook how useful aloe vera extract is as a rejuvenating ingredient. Aloe vera is an all natural extract taken from the leaves of the aloe plant. For years and years, this clear, cool gel has been utilized as a healing remedy for skin abrasions and burns in the medical and herbal world. However, in more recent years, researchers have been exploring the plants’ remarkable potential as an anti-aging element. Aloe naturally rejuvenates skin in a way that in the past was only possible through harsh chemicals with undesired side effects. If you are interested in using an anti-aging skin cream that is all natural, one that contains aloe vera is a must. Some of the most effective anti-aging creams and elixirs out there do not simply feature aloe as a primary ingredient, but rather use the plant extract as a the base of the product.

Antioxidants


There’s no doubt that antioxidants are essential for the health and well-being of your skin. While many of the antioxidants our body needs we obtain through our daily diet, antioxidants improve skin quality best when applied topically. Antioxidants are essential for the skin and many excellent skin care products contain them in varying forms. Antioxidants come from vitamins A, C, and E. Some of the very best anti-aging and skin rejuvenating antioxidants come from green tea, soy extract, grape extract, pomegranate extract, and many other natural elements. When shopping for the most effective youth cream, find one full of antioxidants. They can help prevent daily damage to skin for the natural elements, boost the effectiveness of sunscreens, help skin heal more easily, and help produce healthy collagen for the skin. As a useful tip, when shopping for an anti-aging cream high in antioxidants, be sure to find one that is packaged in a sealable tube rather than a jar because air deteriorates antioxidants.

Fatty Acids, Amino Acids, and Collagen


These three ingredients are known as skin-identical elements. Healthy and youthful looking skin naturally contains elements that keep it smooth, help it retain water, protect it from the elements, and fight infection. Fatty acids, amino acids, collagen, and other skin-like ingredients help aid the skin in repairing its outer barrier. Skin that cannot retain moisture will eventually become creased and wrinkled. These ingredients help to lock in moisture within the actual cell walls of your skin, giving it that youthful moisture and smoothness it needs. Furthermore, these ingredients act as a reinforcement mechanism for your skin’s natural ability to fight environmental stressors throughout the day. By repairing the outer structure of the skin and helping it to retain moisture, these acids and other elements will dramatically improve your skins’ texture.

]]> Have you ever craved to switch your hairstyles every few months? It doesn’t mean there’s something haywire with you, not at all. Flirting with another hairstyle merely suggests that you’re a complex mortal comprised of umpteen different dimensions.

Variety is neat, but it’s even hotter when it takes only seconds to arrive at with virtual makeover hairstyles . If you’re cool with  your current hairstyle but think it’s seeming a little unfashionable, there isn’t any reason to agonize over creating a major change. Hairstyles for the years 2011 and 2012 follow a year where longer hairstyles dominated, shorter hairstyles still were cool, and everybody just loved a carefree, easy run-out-the-door, no fuss messy look. Some celebrities went for medium and shorter lengths and the fashion runaways brought in many unique trends. Instead of opting for an all-over hair reinvention, small varieties to your present-day look can overhaul your expressive style, without seeming too voguish. As luck would have it, some of today’s trendiest styles are easily flexible and need less dedication for those leery of a melodramatic switch.

Virtual Makeover


I found this really interesting website that will let you experiment by giving yourself a change with new haircolor, highlights, lowlights, lengths and celebrity hair styles before you run out the door to your favorite hair stylist and spa!

At Hairmixer, print out a photo and save the tears as it’ll give you an idea ahead of time before you spend your hard-earned cash!  For weddings or brides-to-be, this is a no-brainer!

You’ll be able to upload your own photo, and “try on” a hairstyle and see what you’d look like in real life!

Choosing the ideal hairstyle doesn’t have to be complex. Just take a bit of time to actually flirt with what your motives are and you should be capable of getting the style you daydream of easily.

I opted to get a little sexy instead of looking for hairstyles for mature women over 40 or mature women over 50.  I don’t feel my age, so why should I look my age?

So what do you think for Grandmom – longer or shorter, blonde or brunette?

Beauty Is In The Eyes Of  The Beholder


Old habits are hard to break.

As a teenager, whenever a group of us gals were going out for the night we’d get together over at someone’s house and gussy ourselves up for whatever was on the agenda that night.  Since there were no cell phones, we obviously already had a “plan.“  Nothing was spontaneous.

Now some gals are great with hair, while others were the make-up “go-to” specialists.

I fell into the “make-up” category.  My inspiration was “Barbra Streisand“ eyes and also Liz Taylor “Cleopatra” eyes.  Read: a LOT of makeup – eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara – the whole nine yards.  And I was good at it.

To this day, I still wear black eyeliner!

Lavera Naturekosmetic Logo

Recently I had the opportunity to review some new makeup from the Lavera Naturkosmetic line of cosmetics.

Lavera Volume Mascara No. 3 brownI tried the Volume Mascara No. 3 Brown – Lavera Volume Mascara with Advanced Shaping Brush.

I have pretty long eyelashes to begin with.  This mascara adds volume & length to your lashes and makes your eyes appear so much brighter.  What I like to do is brush on the mascara, add a little mineral makeup powder, and brush on again to thicken them.

The Volume Mascara No. 3 contains nourishing extracts of Organic Jojoba & Wild Rose Oils, which deeply hydrate, allowing flake-free volume throughout the whole day.

  • Paraben-free and
  • Heavy-metal-free formula
  • Rinses off with a mild cleanser
  • Ideal even for very sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearers

lipglossI also received the  Lip Gloss No. 4 Transparent – Lavera Organic Mineral Lip Gloss, which I gave to my youngest daughter, the new college graduate.  The 20-Something crowd just loves lip gloss, and this one add shimmer & an anti-aging Sun protection.

*Emollient and non-sticky oils of Vitamin E & Jojoba act as repairing moisturizers

    *Crushed Natural Minerals add shimmer & an anti-aging Sun protection

      *Natural Berry aromas

        Give yourself a “face” lift – try this affordable line of organic cosmetics!

        Available at CVS.com, Target.com and select Target stores nationwide.
