In Love Again

I'm VERY picky when it comes to some things; then again, I'm pretty calm and relaxed about other things. I'm sure everyone can relate. I'm SO very tired of lipsticks that make my lips sticky, make my lips peel, or just are not worth the drugstore $14 price tag or the department store $40 price tag; especially ones with NO guarantee.

I thought I'd give Avon's new Shine Attract lipstick a try, right now it's on sale you buy one for $9 and get another color for $1.99. I saw the ad with Reese Whitherspoon and she claimed she wore the color Passionate Red. I'm a little scared of bright red lipsticks but this one really knocked my socks off!

The lipstick color is so pretty, it comes wrapped in it's own clear gloss. It went on smooth and the red was very compatible with my skin tone. Being in the beauty industry for 20 years, I've learned a lot about color and what colors compliment or don't work together. THIS red color will pretty much match just about ANY skin tone. The feel of the lipstick was like butter on my lips. It lasted for a long time and my lips didn't peel. It doesn't even FEEL like I'm wearing lipstick so I often forget I have it on my lips.

I definitely recommend it and at these prices, it's like buying two for less than $5 each.

What exactly is Retinol?

Let's get nerdy for a minute and find out what Retinol is...

Basically in a nutshell, retinol is a vitamin that comes from animals. So, if you're not a vegetarian, you may want to reconsider putting animal forms of retinol on your skin.

It is a form of vitamin A, needed for health and vision. We all pretty much realize that some vitamins are antioxidants; vitamins that stop the oxidation processes that can lead to cancers.

What retinol does to the skin is cause the cells to turnover at a faster rate. Thus, if your skin and brain are "talking" about "we need new skin" because this retinol is turning over cells "faster," then you're body and brain together are going to create new skin. This new skin forms, old skin cells fall off, and thus you have the "appearance" of less fine lines. Although, to get deeper into skin tissue where DEEPER wrinkles occur, retinol may have very little impact.

Your skin has several layers and the epidermis is what you see in the mirror, thinly covering the dermis layer.

Be careful: retinol can make your skin extra sensitive to other creams, makeups and especially the sun!

Have a beauty day!

Clinical Talk

So excited about Avon's new Clinical Pro Line Eraser.

Skin is hard to define in itself but as skin ages it starts to make it's own definition of fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, and loss of that youthful "bounce" we took for granted in our early teens and twenties.

Most dermatologists will prescribe a product that is retinol or alpha hydroxy acid based. However, Avon's new Clinical Pro Line Eraser works so differently. Instead of harsh products or chemicals that forced your skin to make new skin (retinol, etc.), the Pro Line Eraser works by turning OFF collagen BLOCKING.

Collagen is the stuff in between the layers of our skin and surrounding our muscles that gives our skin the "goo" or flexible appearance we love to show off. By turning off collagen blocking, with this new Avon product you are telling your skin to keep making collagen. Thus, there is no loss of the youthful glow we love so much.
