Best Lotion

Tanning safely enables you to bask in the sun without concern of skin damage or sunburn.  Exposure to the sun can cause moisture depletion and dries the skin. So, it’s necessary to increase moisturization, once you’ve been outdoors for extended periods of time. 

SmartShield SPF30 Sunscreen Lotion is eco-friendly and the perfect sunscreen that you’ve been looking for!

There’s still plenty of time left for summer fun at the shore, lake or mountains!

Contrary to designer skin tanning lotion that are oil-based sunscreens, clog pores and capture heat, SmartShield SPF30 Sunscreen Lotion is rapidly soaked up and adheres with the top layers of the skin.

I received this tan lotion and used it on on vacation a few weeks ago while I was at the Cape Cod National Seashore.  I applied it every hour or so and it felt so nice on my skin. Unlike last summer, I didn’t burn this year!

SmartShield spf sunscreen protection products protect against UVA and UVB rays and are:

• SPF30

• hypoallergenic
• PABA Free
• DEET Free
• safe for all skin types
• dermatologist-recommended
• Aloe based with vitamins A, C and E

Aloe Vera helps to hold in moisture loss, and like sandalwood, also aids to comfort and heal the skin.

Additionally, Smartshield spf sunscreen protection products are:

• Honored by the American Academy of Dermatology with the Gold Triangle Award for Excellence

• Official sunscreen of the NIKE World Masters Games and Pro Golfers Association

• Tested and voted partner in the PGA Tour Partners Club.

• Tested and approved for use on US Coast Guard boats

• Marine and Fisherman friendly

Dodging and avoiding the sun, particularly at high noon as well as in the afternoon when ultraviolet radiation is at its peak, can help to cut back the adverse effects. It’s also necessary to realize that ultraviolet radiation is greater close to any body of water, such as the beach or even where there’s snow. Snow, water and even sand reflect the UV rays and therefore increase their effect.

Whether  you’re swimming in the ocean or in an open-air pool, be mindful to put on sunscreen before and after your swim.

Protect yourself with a sunshade if you’re out in the sun.

Remember, you’re exposed to ultraviolet radiation still on a cloudy day.

Apply your spf sunscreen protection tanning lotion  the right way for a gorgeous tan this summertime, or pick some up for skiing or cruise season!

Other perfect Smartshield products available are sunscreen gel, lip balm,  sunscreen for faces, self tanner,  industrial sunscreen and insect repellent.

Ultimate Spa Treatment

I live in New England, and in winter, our furnace is constantly going.  We have gas, forced hot-air heat, which is really drying to your skin.

As much as I say I’m going to try, I don’t seem to be able to get to a spa for a pedicure, massage or facial.  Thus, I’m left to my own devices.  Keeping my skin moisturized is a constant battle, especially now that I’m a Baby Boomer.

Recently I had the opportunity to try some fantastic sugar scrubs from Sweetly You.

After using these scrubs several times in the shower, I feel like a new woman!

Kari and Justin Hoopes, the founders of Sweetly You, live in Cache Valley, Utah and have two toddlers ages 2 and 4.

Sweetly You offers an Essential Sugar Scrub that uses the natural power of Avocado Oil, Bees Wax, JoJoba Beads and raw cane sugar to leave rough, flaky skin touchably soft! Perfect to use during the harsh winter months. A great companion to our luxurious Foaming Bath Butter. Buff some life into your tired skin today!

I tried the Coconut Lime Verbena Essential Sugar Scrub, and matching Premium Body Lotion.  I also tried the Hawaiian Breeze Essential Sugar Scrub.  Talk about aromatherapy!

After locking myself in the shower for a respite, I used a loofah sponge and slathered on the sugar scrub.  Since I wear socks quite frequently (have to keep my tootsies warm!) sometimes it causes my skin to flake around the ankles and leg area.

This sweet-smelling sugar scrub exfoliated all that flaky skin away, and I applied the lotion on over moist skin afterwards!

Sweetly You has Scented Bath and Body products like Premium Lotion, Foaming Bath Butter, Sugar Scrub, Solid Perfume,and Dead Sea Bath Salts. Their unique Scents include Signature scents that are quite similar to those of Bath & Body Works, Victoria®s Secret any other divine scents you can imagine! You can also custom design your own bath and body gift packages.

Sweetly You’s shipping department goals are to keep shipping costs as low as possible for the customer.

Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day is coming up soon – or pick up a gift package for a Mom-to-Be!

Hand and Body Care

The older we get, the more our skin starts to show its age. However, there are ways to combat this. If you’re willing to take a few healthy lifestyle steps now, you’ll look a lot better when you get older. Let’s take a look at some of the things we can do to prevent our skin from sagging and looking unhealthy as we get older.

We need to keep in mind that aging is a normal process, and that skin will sag to some degree as we get older. This is because it loses elasticity over time, and gravity begins to take its toll. The areas around the eyes and mouth begin to develop deeper lines, and over time the entire face can begin to sag. More blemishes are also a common experience for many people as they get older. This can cause many people to resort to cosmetic surgery, creams, as well as trying other types of methods to try to get rid of the appearance of age. Some of these methods work and some don’t, but it’s better to prevent the problem in the first place.

Look for natural moisturizing methods when you can. Something as simple as vitamin E oil or coconut oil can be just as effective as expensive moisturizing products. Avoid excessive use of cosmetics which contain all kinds of ingredients that can eventually cause problems with your skin. To stay looking fresh and natural, it’s a good idea to spend as much time that way as you can. That doesn’t mean you have to go without makeup entirely, of course. Just take the time to learn about cosmetic ingredients on your own, and know what you’re putting on your skin.

I recently had the opportunity to try All Natural Organic Anti-Aging Green Tea Aloe Lotion, as well as Women’s Aromatherapy Hormone Balance Synergy Body Spray by Southern Magnolia Minerals.

The All Natural Organic Anti-Aging Green Tea Aloe Lotion is available in a 4 fl oz in a treatment pump.  I use it right after the shower as well as throughout the day in order to retain moisture.  It has a very light, pleasant Green Tea fragrance.  I especially like that it also contains Aloe.

It’s nice to give yourself some at-home spa treatment on occasion!  After all, even as a Baby Boomer, it seems I’m still on-call it seems to helping my family out, even though they’re launched!

At night, I like to apply the New Women’s Aromatherapy Hormone Balance Synergy Body Spray.  It comes in a 10 ml spray bottle with overcap.  The scents of Jasmine, Rose, and Neroli are just a few of the essential oils in this balancing spray that trigger the brain to help activate positive changes to emotional well being and transform the female cycle and moods of any AND every age group of women.

Southern Magnolia Mineral Makeup products contains NO oils, perfumes, dyes, talc, bismuth so they are gentle and non-irritating even for sensitive skin. Its like no other makeup on earth! You can spend more money, but you can’t get better makeup than Southern Magnolia Minerals.

By paying attention to these factors and your overall health,  you’ll be sure that you’ll look your best, even as you get older. No matter who you are or what your age may be, by keeping yourself in good health and away from environmental factors that accelerate aging, you’ll be taking steps that will help you look better.

Why resort to gimmicks, when simple healthy living and a few quality skin care products are all you really need to look younger, longer?

This holiday season, put products from Southern Magnolia Minerals on your Wish List for yourself, or someone you care about!

Anti Aging With SmartPeptides

I’ve always maintained a  beauty regime for my face since I was a teenager.  I’m fortunate to say that I’ve really never had acne, and have inherited good genes.  My grandmom lived to be 101, and hardly had any wrinkles, and really looked at least 20 years younger than she was!

Over the years I’ve had many compliments about my skin.

Starting in my teens, I always removed my makeup at night and used an astringent-based facial cleanser.  As I got older, I made sure I always applied moisturizer.  In the evening I would also use a night cream and under-eye cream.

Recently I had the opportunity to review products from Striking Skin Care.  It’s  a product line for women over 40 that helps restore radiance and firmness to skin by using SmartPeptide technology.

SmartPeptides target areas that need improvement in the appearance of aging skin such as age-related skin characteristics: lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, loss of firmness and definition, appearance of darkened areas or general unevenness of skin tone, rough texture, and thinning of the skin.

I started out by using the facial cleanser, Striking Multi-Vitamin Creme Cleanser.  First you rub into a dry face, and rinse off.  Afterwards I applied Rejuvenating Eye Crème and Restorative Moisture Crème.  During the day I’ll apply my mineral makeup over it.  At night, I just apply as instructed.

Since I’ve been using the product for approximately one month, I’ve noticed that my skin has a firmer appearance, and the area underneath my eyes doesn’t seem as baggy.  The product is a rich consistency, yet isn’t greasy feeling.

The Striking Skin Care line can also help target the effects that peri-menopause and menopause have on women’s skin.   Approximately 45 million women are going through the menopausal transition in the US at any one time.  With an average life expectancy for US women today of 84 years, many women spend around 50% of their adult life as a menopausal or post-menopausal female.   During this phase, a woman can experience increased dryness, loss of firmness and an increase in fine lines and wrinkles on her face and neck.

Striking Skin Care products are free of parabens, fragrance, artificial colors,
pore-clogging ingredients and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients and are Dermatologist tested.

As a Baby Boomer, I can honestly say that I like how my skin looks and feels after using the Striking Skin Care line and will continue to use their products.

Luxurious, Affordable,  All-Natural

Recently I had another opportunity to review Southern Magnolia Minerals Makeup. The holiday season is fast approaching and if you’re like me, you might be already window shopping and checking out what’s in style for all those holiday and New Years parties!  Of course, new outfits means I have to coordinate the colors of my makeup to go with any new purchases. :present:

I’m excited to let you know that my friend Barbara Huffman, a true Southern Belle, who owns Southern Magnolia Minerals was kind enough to send me another wonderful assorted collection of makeup to try!

I received the Mineral Concealer and Corrector 4 pc set with Brush.
Now, you must understand that I’m a night owl and probably get far less sleep than I need or require.  Seriously, you can find me on Twitter and forums at all hours of the night, so I really need this stuff.

The Mineral Concealer and Corrector 4-Piece Set by Southern Magnolia Minerals will brighten your complexion, hide minor skin flaws, hide redness, dark circles, blemishes and even-out skin tones!

It arrived so beautifully wrapped!

Yellow Corrector – is a pale matte yellow powder – I use this all the time to cover up all of my dark under-eye circles.  It so versatile it can also be used as a finisher to brighten up your face too!

Green Corrector – Counteracts redness from rosacea, acne, or irritated skin.  It can be  used to hide blemishes, scars, minor pimples, birthmarks, and broken capillaries.  If anyone has ever cried those capillaries can appear, and I actually use it for the capillaries which can appear after I’ve had a cold – Plus it can be used for a stunning shade of eyeshadow!

Bisque Multi-Task Concealer/Foundation is what I brush on when I want to have a light-makeup day on a Saturday, or rush out the door without makeup! It still covers any imperfections while providing necessary sun protection while you are out!  This too can be used as a neutral eyeshadow or eyeshadow base to make other colors go on smoothly and evenly.

Summer Bisque Concealer again is wonderful for under-eye circles or acne scars.  It can help in toning down red spots, dark acne spots and is multi-functional as a  soft eye shadow base.

Our Summer Bisque Multi-task concealer compares to Bare Escentuals Summer Bisque.  This golden tone perfectly conceals redness on all skin tones and is perfect as a general concealer for medium tan to dark skintones.

Southern Magnolia Minerals is a family owned and operated Mineral Makeup Company located in the gorgeous foothills of North Carolina. Their minerals are 100% pure bare all-natural minerals and are free of preservatives, chemicals, dyes, oils, perfumes & Bismuth.

Make Your Own Beauty Products

Ever dream of creating your own line of beauty products? Or maybe you just haven’t found the right line of products for you. Well it may be easier than you think to create your own because most of the ingredients that you’ll need can be found right in your own kitchen. Some are even ready to use with no preparation.

Intrigued? Read on to find out more about making your own beauty products.

Let’s start with the easy stuff.

Four readily available ingredients are:

• baking soda
• honey
• lemons and
• coffee

Baking Soda: You can use baking soda as a hair rinse to rid the hair of build-up from other styling products. It also leaves the hair super clean. Honey has two great uses, to condition dry or damaged hair and a facial mask. It works especially well for skin that is apt to breakout.

Lemons: Lemons can be used to lighten or add highlights to already light-colored hair (just rinse in before going out in the sun). They also work wonders in softening rough, dry skin. While lemons work to make light hair more beautiful, coffee is the ingredient of choice for those with darker hair.

Coffee: Pour one cup of cooled, strong espresso onto dry hair, working it in as completely as possible. Leave on for about twenty minutes, then rinse and dry for shiny, glowing hair.

Mayonnaise: Another item found in the refrigerator that can be used to help manage your hair is mayo. Mayonnaise can be rubbed into the hair as a conditioner. Use just enough to coat the hair, leave for about an hour and wash out. Your hair will be amazingly soft and shiny. You can also rinse your hair with condensed milk in place of your normal conditioner. The protein in the condensed milk will leave your hair extra shiny too.

Tomatoes: Unfortunately, certain things can affect the smell and tone of your tresses. (Think swimming pool chlorine.) To get rid of unpleasant odors in your hair, or that slightly greenish tinge that comes from well water or coloring, use tomatoes. You read that right! Whether sauce, paste, or juice, the acidity in tomatoes works wonders to balance ph levels in your hair, bringing back it’s natural smell and color.

Now that we’ve got your locks looking gorgeous, here are a few other items to help with other areas. Some of the easiest products to prepare at home are scrubs, masks and conditioners.

Avocados: Avocados make a wonderful natural beauty treatment. Simply scoop the avocado out of it’s peel, mash, and gently apply to your face or around fingernails to soften and nourish skin.

Oatmeal: Make your own facial scrub by mixing together 1 cup of uncooked oatmeal and a teaspoon of sugar. To make a mask which works for any skin type, mash up half of the pulp from a peeled avocado along with 1 teaspoon of salt. When you apply the mask, let it stay on your face for about 20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

Aloe Vera: To make a really luxuriant conditioner, mix together 2 ounces of Aloe Vera gel, 2 ounces of olive oil, and 6 drops each of rosemary and sandalwood essential oils.

So there you have it. See how easy it can be to make your own beauty products at home? You’ll be so impressed with the results that you may just find yourself making fewer visits to the beauty supply counter in future. Who knows, you might even be able to turn your talents into a work-at-home business!

Belli Calm Me Hair and Body Walsh

Calm Me Hair and Body Wash

Today was my grandson’s First Birthday!

It’s hard to believe how quickly the year went by.  Slugger is now a “little man” and it’s fun to see how his personality is developing.  He’s starting to say a few words and talk,  and masters a few baby steps on his own.

But he’s still a baby and has special needs and care that all infants and toddlers do.

I’m please to have had the opportunity to review Calm Me Hair and Body Wash by Belli.

At Belli, we support expectant and new mothers through this changing time by providing soothing, balanced skin products that pamper and protect. Our collections – Belli Pregnancy, Belli Motherhood and Belli Baby – address the specific needs of each stage, with thoughtful attention to the safest formulations.

What my daughter and I liked about Belli’s Calm Me Hair and Body Wash was that it is an all-in-one product that both cleanses and moisturizes baby. It’s also 100% Phthalate Free.

When used to bathe Slugger, the fragrance of the essential oil of marigold and chamomile smelled so clean and refreshing.  We simply bathed Slugger as usual, using a wet washcloth or by hand.

An added benefit was that we smelled nice after Sugger’s bath was over!

Belli products are sold at national retailers including Pottery Barn Kids, Mother Works, baby/maternity boutiques, fine spas, and a growing number of physician offices. The entire line can be found on belliskincare.com, along with helpful educational articles that teach women about the skin care concerns of pregnancy, motherhood, and infancy.

The last two weeks of August are always bittersweet to me.  When I was dating my hubby, his family always took the last two weeks as a vacation at the seashore cottage they owned, and I was always invited to tag along.

Here in New England where we have 4 seasons, I can sense that fall will soon be upon us ~ I can feel and smell it in the cool night air.  The approaching fall season then means that winter’s not too far behind.

Along with winter come all the associated skin problems that occur when the heating season begins.  Fortunately, there’s good news for the millions who suffer with dry skin each year.

I recently had the opportunity to review Gloves In a Bottle, a revolutionary Shielding Lotion that works like an invisible pair of gloves.  I received a full-size 8-fl. oz./240ml bottle of the lotion.

If you’re not familiar with a shielding lotion, the product  provides the following benefits ~

“Shielding Lotions form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. They are light and go on without a greasy mess.”

Shielding Lotion can prevent a costly trip to your dermatologist and keep your skin silky smooth all winter.

My brother is a professional photographer and spent many years working for Kodak in Rochester, New York.  I’ve seen first-hand what the effects of photography chemicals and the brutal winters of Rochester can do to one’s skin.

The chilling cold of the winter months can take a heavy toll on your skin. According to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) figures, 81 million Americans all across the country will be looking for relief from dry, itchy skin this winter.

The traditional prescription for treating dry skin has been a cream or lotion with moisturizers in it, in an attempt to replace the lost moisture and oils in the skin.

The features and benefits of Gloves in a Bottle include:

*  Non-greasy, non-sticky lotion; rapidly absorbs into outer layer of skin.
* Works like an invisible pair of gloves.
* Prevents dirt and grime from penetrating the skin.
* Allows skin to breathe and retain its natural moisture and oils.
* Does not wash off, lasts 4 hours or more, and comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells.
* Greaseless, non-sticky, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, completely safe, non-toxic and used daily by a   wide range of healthcare professionals.
* Prevents dry, cracked skin.
* Absorbs quickly, undetectable once absorbed.

Gloves In A Bottle lasts for up to 4 hours or more. After about 4 hours enough skin cells have sloughed off to cause the barrier to break down; for continued protection just reapply. Wash and dry your hands before re-applying.

When I applied the lotion for the first time, I immediately noticed that it was fragrance free, and glided on like silk.  Only a small amount was needed.

What further impressed me was that after applying it, I felt as if I had a spa experience!  If you’ve ever had your hands dipped in the parafin hot-bath after having a manicure, it forms a ‘glove’ on your hands that is then peeled off.  You’re skin is then baby-smooth!  This same feeling was achieved after I applied Gloves in a Bottle ~ without having to go to the spa!  It was simply amazing!

I’m a convert for sure!  If you’re a Baby Boomer, or someone who works with their hands, or just in need of a little tender loving care, give this product a try!  Gloves in a Bottle is available at CVS and Brooks.

If you’d like to try a sample of Gloves in a Bottle and are willing to post a review on your blog, send a request to petegrimaldi@earthlink.net along with your blog URL and mailing address.
