What does "Paraben Free" mean?

November 18, 2014

I'm sure you noticed that most of the makeup we love and use says it's "Paraben free". Which is probably why one of my lovely readers asked me a good question.....

 Q: When makeup is "paraben free" what exactly does that mean?

 A: Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives by cosmetic and pharmaceutical  industries. Parabens are effective preservatives primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They can be found in shampoos, moisturizers, shaving gels, pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, makeup and much more. 

 When looking for a good quality makeup it should be "paraben free" because parabens have been found in breast cancer tumors (an average of 20 nanograms/g of tissue). Parabens have also displayed the ability to slightly mimic estrogen (a hormone known to play a role in the development of breast cancer). No effective direct links between parabens and cancer have been established, however. Another concern is that the estrogen-mimic aspect of parabens may be a factor in the increasing prevalence of early puberty in girls. 

 So the next time you walk up to a sales representative for makeup be sure to ask them if the product is Paraben free. The good news it that most cosmetics are jumping on the paraben free bandwagon!

This is for all my fresh faced beauties who rock their real nails and need that nail polish to last!!! 

 Always bear in mind that to touch hair when it has been fixed in place with hair spray or other hair fixatives disturbs the finish of your manicure. Many of these products contain alcohol or other solvents which will remove the gloss and damage the color appearance of the nail polish

Avocado

Going GREEN could be a GOOD idea!!!

February 21, 2013


Truth be told, Avocados are not really liked by me but things can change soooo fast! Avocados are  really good for you. Why you ask??, Well, Avocados have antibacterial properties that can help you skin when applied to your face. It helps clean the pore and if you skin is acnagenic and could help with inflammation as well. Avocados has been known to stimulate the growth of collagen and can keep you skin looking young!


Try Freeman Clay Facial Mask with Avocado and Oatmeal which I absolutely love or if you want you could Mash together one avocado (cut into pieces), the juice from half a fresh orange, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil. Spread evenly on your face and neck, leave on for 30 minutes, and then wash off with cold water. Please apply an oil free moisturizer once your done.

Well as always I hope this helps... Oh and don't forget to please "LIKE" me on facebook!

Do you love your phone as much as I do??!! I take my phone with me EVERYWHERE, sad to say but hey I do! Oh and I'm sure you do too. But DID YOU KNOW your phone can cause you to have breakouts on your face? Think about it, our phones get really dirty because we lay them just about anywhere. 

 David Bank, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center explains that "When we talk on the phone, the warmth and moisture create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. By constantly being on the phone, you cause acne mechanica. This is caused by not letting the pores breathe and the friction from your phone onto your face. It begins with rough and bumpy skin, and with continued irritation, it develops into inflamed pimples." 

 So I suggest you clean your phone with a little rubbing alcohol or Lysol disinfecting wipes at least once a day.

Nail polish repels water, therefore the chlorine can’t get inside to affect the color. So swim away honey!

Do you have a pimple or two? Well don't worry jus dab some toothpaste on it....YES, I said toothpaste!

Toothpaste does wonders for your acne because it kills germs meant for teeth. When u put toothpaste on a pimple it drys it out and kills the germs.

Apply the toothpaste on your zit, for 15-20 minutes and wash it off. Or you can leave it on overnight, let a small piece of tissue cover the area you applied toothpaste too before going to sleep. Leaving the toothpaste on overnight seems to be most effective.

Well if ya ain't know, now ya do! As always I good this helps you!

Mmmmmnnn I love me some GRAPES!! The are nice and juicy and can be a really nice treat served cold in the summer...but wait this is a beauty blog so let me stick to the topic....


Grapes, found in abundance in Italy, contain resveratrol in their skin. The disease-fighting benefits of resveratrol are vast, but when used topically, it can also do wonders for your skin. Crush up grapes to make a skin-rejuvenating scrub. The grapes help to pull out toxins in the skin while the seeds scrub away dry, dull skin. It’s a quick way to help your skin glow
