Why Winter Sun Protection is a Must

February 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment

For most of us, the first time we had ever been exposed to sunscreen was by our mothers slathering it all over us while she fussed about the importance of its use. sunFrom adolescence to the teenage years we rebelled one time or another and found out the hard way that too little sunscreen could turn into a painful situation.  Sunburn is a common occurrence when we fail to either use sunscreen.  We only think about sunscreen in the summer but the thing is, sunscreen isn’t just for the beach. Sure our skin can get burned by the sun but, it also can receive the same damage from the cold as well especially in seriously cold weather. Winter sunburn is something everyone should worry about.

Wacky Beauty Through History: The Road to Pale Skin

September 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Today, women (and men) spend hundreds of dollars and risk the prevalent threat of cancer in order to achieve one thing; the perfect, golden tan. As MTV star Pauly D says, “I got a f—ing tanning bed in my place, that’s how serious I am.” It might be hard to believe that, for many centuries, Caucasian women thought paleness was the pinnacle of beauty. In much of Europe, skin that was untouched by the sun was treated as an indicator of affluence and wealth, as it was the low class workers who toiled outside and had their skin scorched. While individuals have used various versions of foundation since the time of Ancient Egypt, they have also historically engaged in less conventional methods to lighten their color.

Starting in the sixth century, European women truly proved that “beauty is pain” by bleeding themselves to achieve paler skin. While, the process was carried out through a variety of different techniques, one popular trick was to apply leeches to the ears. Surprisingly, this enduring practice could be considered one of the healthier ways women achieved milky appearances.

In the times of the Renaissance, women like Queen Elizabeth coated their faces with white paint that contained ingredients like lead and arsenic. Not only did this ruin the skin they wanted to protect, but it led to many scenarios of digestive problems, shaking and death. Because of the horrid effects of the makeup, women would increasingly apply thicker coats to hide the scarring, and consequently start a vicious cycle. Similarly, women used harmful substances to also lighten their locks; one particularly outrageous example is application of lye (used in soap making and biodiesel production), which would lead to the hair falling out. Not coincidentally, wigs grew in popularity during this time period.

 

After piecing together the deadly results of their own makeup, European women began to shy away from the predecessors’ cosmetics in favor of more natural ingredients to achieve a clean, white face; in the 1800s, women commonly used ingredients like egg whites, oatmeal, lemon juice and honey to alter their appearance. Also, the sun was avoided all together as skin remained consistently covered and parasols became all the rage. To use manufactured beauty products was seen as being crude and deceptive.

Today, there are a variety of different products that help women of all races to easily achieve the look of flawless skin without, you know, the risk of death or attracting bugs. To protect your complexion and battle the sun’s aging effects, we recommend finding a creamy foundation that incorporates SPF protection, as found in TIGI and Dermalogica cosmetic lines.

The Importance of Removing Your Makeup at Night

September 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Despite the multitude of advisories against it, a surprising amount of women do not wash away the day’s makeup before hitting the sheets. Admit it, at least once or twice, you perhaps left the party two hours later than intended, and wanted nothing more than to exhaustedly dive headfirst into the soft pillows of your bed. In such a moment, it’s hard to convince yourself to wipe away the day’s foundation and mascara. What’s the harm anyhow?

Trust me, the dermatologists (and your mother) have their reasons for lecturing about the nightly removal of  cosmetics.

A clean face allows your skin to be rejuvenated.  Pores produce oil called sebum, which provides the skin with a natural shield and helps clear away dead cells. When makeup clogs the pores, the sebum excessively builds up and can cause to acne. Furthermore, the makeup prevents the skin’s natural flushing habits, leading to dead skin and other grime (dirt, pollution and free radicals) to grow to create pimples, blackheads, etc.

However, acne is not the only reason your skin needs to be able to breathe. Just like a good night’s worth of sleep can do wonders for your mind and spirit, your skin benefits from relaxation as well. Nighttime is when your skin revives itself from the stress of the day; during this crucial time, makeup is heavy and strains the skin’s elasticity when it would otherwise be repairing itself. Additionally, makeup dries the skin out, especially the delicate area around the eyes. Both of these factors cause your skin to age prematurely.

Sleeping in makeup is unhealthy for your eyes. For starters, you can thin or lose your eyelashes! Mascaras and eyeliner contains wax that melts throughout the day; if not routinely removed, it can weigh on the lashes and block the follicles that would otherwise help them grow. More importantly though, the atmosphere’s unhealthy particles can cling to the sticky, waxy lashes and lead to serious eye infections.

For an extreme example of cosmetics’ effect on your face, we turn to the case of Bae Dal-mi; having formed an unhealthy emotional dependence on cosmetics, the 20-year-old South Korean hadn’t washed her face in two years and daily caked on more makeup. After finally being convinced by her mother and dermatologists to remove her mask-like makeup, doctors determined that her skin’s condition should belong to someone twice her age!

Washing away the makeup doesn’t have to involve scalding your skin and vigorous rubbing at your eyelids to be rid of the waterproof mascara. For products that gently clear the grime without drying the skin, we recommend Derma E Evenly Radiant Makeup Remover and Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover.

Hollywood Fashion Tape’s specially formulated adhesive is gentle on skin, hypoallergenic and leaves no residue on fabrics. The clear tape doesn’t cover up the skin’s natural color and is more discreet and fabric-friendly than safety pins.

How does it work? You get 36 pre-cut, 3-inch disposable strips (3” x ½” actual size) in each box. Each strip of tape contains a removable backing on each side. You simply peel the backing from one side of the tape, press the tape firmly to your skin or fabric, remove the other backing, and apply the item to be secured. It’s as easy as peel, stick and go!

Nothing says clothing has seen better days like a rash of “pills”—you know, those annoying little fiber balls that seem to grow on sweaters, fleece wear and even blankets, giving the appearance of permanent goose bumps.

The brilliance of the Hollywood Sweater Saver lies in its simplicity. Lightly skim the palm-size, practically weightless pumice stone across the pill-laden fabric and watch those vexing bumps disappear, revealing in mere moments your like-new sweater, coat or blanket.
