Key Skin Care Products Every Woman Should Own

May 20th, 2012 at 12:10pm Under Personal Care+ Products+ Skin Care

A trip to the skin care aisle can be a dizzying experience, but it doesn’t have to be so complicated. And while it’s obviously important to make sunscreen a part of your daily routine, there are a few key items every woman should include on her must-have list, explains Suki Kramer, founder and president of Suki skin care . They are . . . A great exfoliator : “From jump-starting collagen to purifying pores to removing dryness and blemishing to making us feel great because of the immediate way an exfoliator takes care of business, this product is a can’t-live-without product,” Kramer explains. The right moisturizer : “Even if your skin type tends to be normal to oily, using a high-quality moisturizer with good oils on a regular basis can be the key to improving the way your skin functions, looks, and feels,” she adds. A great lip balm : Everybody gets dry, chapped lips at some point or has problems with flaking and/or dryness. A lip repair product will help keep the lips smooth, supple, and kissable. Bonus? It also provides an excellent base for your lipsticks, glosses, and liners, keeping them fresher- and purer-looking all day (or night) long.

What We’re Sweet On: A Brush For the Blemished

May 17th, 2012 at 10:30am Under Personal Care+ Products+ Skin Care

Countless praises have been sung for Clarisonic , the cult-favorite sonic skin cleansing brush. But until now, the acne-addled haven’t had a version that targets their complexion condition. Enter the newest incarnation of the Mia 2 brush and salicylic acid-infused cleanser ($169), which aims to keep blemishes at bay. We gave the brush a spin (courtesy of public relations), and like the original, it removes the dirt and makeup that doesn’t always come off through washing by hands alone. The new brush head ($25) is softer than the original, though, and it’s especially gentle for anyone who’s experiencing stubborn blackheads or painful nodules. While no product will produce flawless skin overnight, with consistent use, having clearer skin may only be a matter of time.

What We’re Sweet On: The Cedar Soap That Makes You Stronger

May 14th, 2012 at 10:30am Under Personal Care+ Skin Care

If you love rich, woodsy scents, here’s your new shower buddy: Indigo Wild Cedar Zum Bar ($4). Don’t let its tough-guy exterior fool you, though. Behind the swirls of the black and white bar exist skin-softening olive, palm, and coconut oils. There’s also goat’s milk in the formulation, which is neither too alkaline or acidic, playing nicely with the natural pH balance of skin. And speaking of skin, what’s left behind (besides a clean body, of course) is the lingering scent of subtly smoky cedarwood. Known for its relaxing properties, cedar is even said to bring you emotional strength. Can your regular bar soap do all that? Bonus: after you use it, your house/apartment will have a nice, fresh, balsamic scent permeating throughout.

Algenist’s Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50 ($38) packs all the punch of a heavy-duty sunscreen, but without the tacky texture or the telltale scent.

What to Expect When You’re Getting a Skin Cancer Screening

May 3rd, 2012 at 10:25am Under Personal Care+ Skin Care

We’re happy to present this story from our friends at Allure : Nonmelanoma skin cancers may be slowly decreasing, but melanoma is on the rise – and it’s the most common cancer for my age group (25- to 29-year-olds). Since this is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I asked dermatologist Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, to demystify this important annual appointment. “Patients fear the unknown, or they cancel their appointment because they’ve been on vacation and they feel guilty about their tan. But before they know it, six months have gone by.” Graf says there’s nothing to fear. The appointment will be quick and painless – at least this time. Learn what really happens at a screening when you read more .
