With spring and summer comes the time to decide on a product for daily sun protection with a broad spectrum and a higher SPF of at least 30. Just when I was dwelling on what to use this summer… La Mer happened to come out with their new high-tech SPF 30 UV Protecting Fluid. Girl must guard her skin from sun damage, right? She doesn’t have to spend so much money on it though… But I went for a

* Skin around your eyes is very thin and fragile. Stretching, rubbing, tagging at eye skin can cause it to stretch and subsequently develop lines and crow’s feet. It can also lead to breaking delicate blood vessels resulting in dark eye circles, dulling and thickening of the surrounding skin. Be especially careful not to tag or rub when applying makeup; removing makeup; after a long day staring

It was just another morning yesterday. I was blow-drying my hair, la di da, when POW! My blowdryer exploded in my hand! (I think I screamed loud enough for the whole building to hear). Oh yes, I was officially in the market for a new blowdryer. So I got the new Paul Mitchell Express Ion Dry and it’s been FANTASTIC! It’s super lightweight and, thanks to its ionic capabilites, my hair has been drying, like, 50% faster! Here’s hoping this blowdryer lasts a LONG time. Visit paulmitchell.com to find a salon near you that sells this miracle machine…

Every May, I make it a priority to go to the dermatologist to get a skin cancer screening. My dad’s had a brush with skin cancer (he’s fine now though, whew), so I know I have to be careful too! Now, if you don’t have a dermatologist, make sure to stop by The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin screening tour, sponsored by Aveeno. The mobile tour will be stopping by a location near you (visit their site to see exactly where!) for screenings with doctors as well as free samples of Aveeno’s new Positively Ageless SPF! Last year, the tour attracted almost 7,000 visitors and screened over 3,000 people. Of those screened, more than 3,200 suspicious markings were detected and 39 suspected cases of melanoma were discovered!

Could too many sweets really cause breakouts? Maybe! What has long been thought to be a myth–that sugar causes acne–is now being reconsidered. I read in The New York Times that a recent study links foods that have a high glycemic index to breakouts. Foods with a high glycemic index raise your blood glucose levels rapidly, which releases a flood of insulin and hormones that scientists think might stimulate oil production and inflame the skin. But it’s not just sweet treats like candy, sugary breakfast cereals and doughnuts that might cause zits; foods such as pretzels, pasta, white bread and potatoes are also high on the glycemic index. Worse still, all these tempting snacks also increase your risk for heart disease, sap energy levels and cause weight gain. Try a diet that’s rich in oats and whole grains with plenty of fruits and veggies to stay healthy and banish bumps!
