Don't anger your skin


We all have bad skin days. Red, itchy, patchy, splotchy or blotchy, whichever way your skins rebels, the search for something soothing is also universal.

Most people make the mistake of treating irritated skin by putting more stuff on their skin. Ironically, this usually makes things worse instead of better!

Bleach for where the sun don't reach

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care

south beach lightening gellI...I'm not quite sure...uh...what they mean by "sensitive areas."

Okay, I do know what they mean, and I was a little more than amused when I realized that South Beach Lightening Gel for Sensitive Areas was for bleaching that little twinkling star that never sees the sunshine. I'm not exactly sure why anyone would feel the need to bleach that particular area, but apparently, there are enough people out there that the company makes a product.

In all fairness, the product description says that the Lightening Gel is perfect for "Breasts, Nipples, Underarms, Faces, Age Spots, Other Skin Discolorations" so if you're worried about any of those things, try it out. And if you happen to dab a little "down there," no one will know the better.

Do you have sensitive skin?

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care

If the explosion of cosmetics geared towards skin type tells us anything, it's that a one-size fits all approach no longer flies when it comes to what you put on your face.

But how do you know what your skin type is?

To figure out if you have sensitive skin, all you need is water and an hour of free time. The next time your face is make-up free and you don't have anywhere to be for an hour, you can try this at home skin test.

Start by splashing your face with tepid water ten times (no soap!). Using a dry towel, carefully pat away the excess moisture so your skin can air dry. Wait 30 minutes before returning to your bathroom mirror. Looking at your face in the mirror, furrow your brow and smile widely. If your face feels tight and you know that you frequently break-out, you have sensitive skin.

Knowing whether or not you have sensitive skin puts you one step closer to taming that confounding complexion of yours. So for those of you with sensitive skin, you should check out Aveeno, Eucerin and Neutrogena. All three companies have great product lines geared towards folks with fickle faces.
