Which sunscreen is right for you?  Read our May post about the Myths of Sunscreen.

Remember these tips: 

The SPF of a sunscreen is “Sun Protection Factor”. 

SPF 15 will protect you 15X longer against sun damage if you wore no sunscreen at all.  Remember, depending on how the sun is shining, this could be as little as 3-5 minutes, therefore you will need to reapply throughout the day.  Re-apply after going swimming.

Discount Beauty Center to donate portion of Think Pink sales to breast cancer research

 

Berlin, NJ (August 14, 2009) - Each October brings a parade of pink products with a purpose – to promote National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) and its important message of education and action. Each year, DiscountBeautyCenter.com offers a selection of pink-emblazoned beauty products that help to promote and support NBCAM’s cause.

 

Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, affecting nearly 1 in 8 women at some point in their lifetime. Diagnosing and treating breast cancer while it is still in the localized stage leads to a 5-year survival rate of 98%. Education on the signs of breast cancer and the importance of routine exams and mammograms helps to save many thousands of lives each year. Death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1990. Along with improved treatment, the decreases can be attributed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness.

Babyliss Think Pink Set 

This year, DiscountBeautyCenter.com will be carrying the BabylissPro Diamond Titanium Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Set. The set includes the BabylissPro Pink Diamond Titanium Hair Dryer and Pink Diamond Titanium 1″ Hair Straightener. Adorned with Swarovski crystals, the Pink Diamond Titanium dryer and straightener add a little extra flair to BabylissPro’s industry-leading styling tools. If purchased separately, the Think Pink duo would retail for over $450. At DiscountBeautyCenter.com, the Think Pink set is available for just $129.99. For the entire month of October, DiscountBeautyCenter.com will be donating 10% of all proceeds from the purchase of the Think Pink set to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.


Nail Tek FileDiscountBeautyCenter.com is also offering Nail Tek’s Breast Cancer Awareness Crystal File. Nail Tek is known for its tough, durable glass files that never wear down.  The Crystal File seals the free edge of the nail to prevent snagging, breaking and peeling. Embossed with a delicate design on the handle, includes convenient carrying case. The Breast Cancer Awareness Crystal File sells for $19.99 with 25% of all proceeds going to breast cancer research.

 

The efforts of NBACM and the increased support and promotion of the cause on the part of the beauty industry and businesses in general have made significant contributions to sharing information on the disease, and encouraging early detection. DiscountBeautyCenter.com is proud to support NBACM by offering products that support and promote increased awareness of breast cancer and its prevention and treatment. By purchasing pink and purposeful products from DiscountBeautyCenter.com, the important message of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month becomes a daily reminder.

Discover The Secret To Healthy Hair

Macadamia Hair is the newest brand to include Natural Oils in their products.  Others that use Natural Oils include MoroccanOil, CHI Organics, DermOrganic and Enjoy

You might be wondering, why Macadamia Oil?  What sets them apart? 

Discover The Secret To Healthy Hair

For centuries, alchemists and healers worldwide have turned to nature’s rich resources for their medicinal powers.  With the oil from the macadamia nut found throughout the South Pacific and the uniquely rare argan seeds of North Africa’s Berber Region, nature has provided us with some of the most beneficial elements for healthful skin and hair.

Macadamia Natural Oil products combine the oils of these highly nutritional nuts with special blends of nature’s most nourishing botanicals to formulate the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance.

The Science Behind the Performance

Macadamia Oil: Very rich in essential fatty acids, Macadamia oil has the distinctive feature of resembling sebum. This replication of the natural oils our scalp produces for protection make it an ideal enriching & replenishing agent with rapid absorption.

Argan Oil: The oil is rich in Omega 9, Linoleic, Oleic, and unsaturated fatty acids – shown to be very beneficial in improving hair strength and health.

Why Macadamia?

Macadamia oil’s unique composition gives it an uncanny similarity and compatibility to your body’s own natural oils and allows for unbelievable absorption and rapid penetration into the hair and skin.

The Macadamia Natural Oil line of professional hair care products combines two of the world’s most valuable and beneficial oils, Macadamia and Argan, to provide the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance.

For thousands of years, Australian aborigines have consumed the macadamia nut for its high nutritional value and health-promoting benefits. Today, macadamia oil is widely revered for its incredible benefits to hair, skin and overall health by promoting shiny hair and radiant skin.

Argan Seed Oil, known as “liquid gold” to Moroccans, has been used by countless generations for its beneficial use in skin, hair, nail and therapeutic treatments. This rare and difficult to obtain oil restores shine and softness to dry, brittle hair while nourishing hair damaged by chemical services.

Together, macadamia oil and Argan oil replenish the hair’s natural emollients with the high content of essential fatty acids found naturally in both of these exceptional oils. The combined benefits help to nourish and protect the hair from harmful UV rays while repairing hair follicles for improved elasticity and shine.

The Benefits

  • Provides intense nourishment, smoothing and a long lasting, tangle-free, frizz-free finish. Hair is ultra-smooth, manageable and shiny.
  • Instant absorption and light-weight, non-greasy feel.
  • Shown to extend the life of color treatments by reducing fading.
  • Natural UV protection
  • Reduces drying time an amazing 40-50%
