    How to Avoid Common Skin Hazards of Swimming

    June 20, 2019 /

    In the summer, we spend a lot of time at the pool. It’s our happy place and honestly also the focal point of my summer workout routine. Being able to jump in the pool after dinner, or on a scorching hot long weekend afternoon makes June, July and August worth looking forward to all year long. But, that said, swimming and sunny days take a toll on your skin. We all know that firsthand. But what can you do about it? Learning how to avoid common skin hazards of swimming can help swimmers manage water-related skin diseases and irritations while enjoying the pool again. Be a Bathing Beauty Constant contact…

    How to Find Makeup for Sensitive Skin

    October 1, 2018 /

    Do you have sensitive skin? Me too sometimes. My younger daughter is the same actually but she’s prone to itching and feeling the impact of harsh fragrance first. Recently I bought a night cream that seemed excellent and was super moisturizing. But it actually made my skin break out. So I stopped using it and gave my skin a break. Then I tried it again. Sure enough I broke out immediately again. When you are an entrepreneur running your own business and brand that’s completely not cool. And together with my daughter we have many stories like that. Sometimes I absorb the loss and don’t use a product again but…

    How Your Period Affects Your Skin

I mean it’s a symbol of fertility and you either welcome it or dread it monthly for decades. Between mood swings, cramping, and sometimes pregnancy scares, your period has probably given you headaches – both figuratively and literally – for years. Did you know there’s another thing affected by menstruation? I know, I know – that isn’t enough. It’s true, though. Periods affect the look and health of our skin.

    Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Others

    December 13, 2017 /

    From the moment they arrive, your kids become your number-one priority. We all know it, and there’s nothing wrong with that — but it sometimes causes you to neglect yourself. Here’s the thing: Taking a break and treating yourself is absolutely necessary for a healthy body and mind. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves — and yes, sometimes even spoil themselves — so they can properly take care of their children. BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments here in London, Ontario (or another treatment at the medical spa) are sometimes all the R&R you need to look and feel rejuvenated. And by the way, you deserve it. Why Your Skin…

    Protecting Skin in a New Way with Skindinavia

    March 16, 2017 /

    Protecting skin is generally associated with blocking UV rays and moisturizing, but there’s one thing many women do almost every day that is hard on our skin. We wear makeup. To me makeup is a part of most days, but it’s also not the best for your skin. Now Skindinavia has a product that is great at protecting skin and helping it recover from makeup use. Protecting Skin from the Daily Routine If makeup suddenly fell out of fashion tomorrow would you care? I might actually. I tend to be pale without it and that’s not a great look for me. This year I have less and less time for makeup. It’s a total…

    Sunburn Treatment – Soothing A Burn

    July 22, 2016 /

    Sunburn treatment is something everyone needs at some point. We’ve all been there and then we’ve all felt the miserable sting of a sunburn afterwards. Many of us are old enough to recall a time when sunburns happened and we didn’t really pay too much heed. Now, we know better. As parents, we try to teach our kids that burning their skin now is setting them up for possible cancer later, but sunburns happen even when trying to be careful. Here are a few ideas for how to maximize relief with sunburn treatment. Sunburn Treatment – A Little Old School. A Little New School There’s no end to how people approach treating sunburns.

    Banish the Eczema Itch Now

    January 21, 2014 /

    I haven’t itched all week. Why should you care? Well, if you are like me, you either have some experience with mild eczema, or you have a family member with that persistent itchy skin that won’t seem to go away. Did you know 20 % of the population will experience eczema? Did you know there are several different types of this skin condition which can be red scaly patches on your skin that end up cracking, rashing, or even oozing liquid? One common type is cradle cap. Another is contact dermatitis, which is often brought on by excessive handwashing. But ever since we started using Polysporin Eczema Essentials we have…
