At the ripe old age of 17 while in Los Angeles with my father on a work related visit, I met an actress who told me that I needed to wear sunscreen every day no matter what and to never ever go into the sun without at big hat!  She told me it was one of the best ways to preserve my skin.

Just starting out as a model/actress in New York, I never forgot her words, and from that point on have always worn a big hat, sunscreen, and sun glasses when I am in the sun.  I was lucky to have met her…but unfortunately, a lot of my friends were not.  Hence the leather looking skin at 35 years old…Maybe nice on a jacket but not your face!

Welcome girls to a new way of defying the aging process.  Gone are the days of thinking that anti-aging only applies to the 30 plus category.  Now we must be on the defense daily, and ready to attack our attacker in our youth.  In the end we will defeat the aging process and avoid skin cancer and OMG…those horrible facial lines known as…wrinkles…! Studies have shown that the earlier women start using anti-aging and advanced skincare products, the better their skin will look when they are much older.  Introducing…FemmeScience.

FemmeScience New Skincare Line

In 2010, FemmeScience launched a line of 7 products for younger gals including: an anti-aging treatment, face cleanser, under eye cream, night time moisturizer, face mask, body polish, and body cream. All of these products were created to help girls in between their teens and their 30’s to combat the early signs of aging like sun spots, fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity.  FemmeScience is one of the only skincare lines that focuses on skin preservation for youthful skin.  Products retail between $27-$54.

If you have young girls or are a young girl, I urge you to start preserving your youthful skin now!  Visit FemmeScience today and be on your way to younger looking skin:)

This summer I have been test driving the new Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion SPF 30 on myself and my family.  I’ve used a variety of SPF in the past and gotta say this advanced formula from Lubriderm is the tops!  As you already know, Lubriderm is known for repairing dry skin to it’s natural state of perfection.  Now you can get that and protection from the harsh rays of the sun.

It’s a non-greasy formula loaded with vitamin e and b5 as well as skin essential lipids naturally found in healthy skin to help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier .  Lubriderm Lotion SPF 30, also contains a superior broad-spectrum sunscreen technology to give you long lasting time in the sun, blocking out those naughty rays that feel so good!

New Advanced Therapy SPF 30 by Lubriderm

Goes on smoothly and my kids don’t struggle when I put it all over their young bodies…It’s so important that your kids understand the urgency of good skincare now.  It can save their lives…When we were kids, we used baby oil to “bring on those rays.” Now with all the research and advanced skin technology at hand, the way we view sun bathing is completely different.

Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion is available at major drug, grocery, and general merchandise stores across the country.

Reozone 40 From Arcona

Meet my favorite new beauty product, Reozone by Arcona. This product offers an SPF 40 to protect you from the harsh rays of the sun.

I do hope you are wearing a sunscreen all the time! With all the products out there in the world its easy to get overwhelmed with an elaborate beauty routine. And I’ve been known to apply about seven different products before my foundation.

You don’t  need an extra serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, primer and foundation- simply apply Reozone. Since I tend to have oily skin, I skip a morning moisturizer and only apply the Reozone. If I’m going to an event, I apply a primer on top of the Reozone, but in my daily life, its Reozone, a dab of eye cream and  mineral powder. And lots of lip gloss, of course!

It not only gives you the sun protection you need  but it gives a subtle glow and is very light on the skin. If I could give it five stars, two thumbs up and a parade, I would.

Here’s the nitty gritty on the key ingredients:

Titanium Dioxide – a naturally occurring oxide known for its powerful UVA/UVB protection

Zinc Oxide – a naturally occurring oxide known for its UVA/UVB protection and soothing properties

Sodium Hyaluronate – Powerful naturally occurring moisturizing factor (NMF) found in the skin

Sodium Selenite – offers natural pre-mature aging benefits for the skin

Arcona products are amazing- I have yet to try one that I don’t absolutely love. Another fave of mine is the Magic White Ice hydrator which can be used under the Reozone.

You can find Arcona online here.

The summer sun tends to evaporate all the moisture in our skin leaving it dry and scaly looking…not exactly pretty and certainly not age defying!  So, let me introduce you to one of the best body butter’s out on the market today…

Clean Ultra Rich Body Butter Moisturizer

Clean Shower Fresh Moisture Rich Body Butter, will smooth away scales without any greasy residue.  Enriched with cotton extracts, illipe & shea butter to deliver intense moisturization to even the driest skin.  It’s light fragrance has notes of Lily of the Valley, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine that will relax and rejuvenate your senses.

Cotton Vantage™ is a smart technology based on cotton seeds, extracts and proteins that self-adjusts to help soothe, smooth and moisturize skin.  A 5 oz. jar, retails for $26. Worth every penny and goes a long way!  Clean Perfume products are available on line and at select stores nation and world wide.

This body butter gets the Bender Sisters puckered lip approval!!!

After reading so much about health and trying to eat better, it only makes sense to consider what I’m putting on my body as well as in it. Did you know that metals like mercury (used in dental fillings) and aluminum are toxic?

Deodorant is where you will find aluminum, its a fact. Aluminum in deodorant has been used for years and years but recently I discovered the little known fact that its been linked to Alzheimer’s and brain disorders and is a potential risk factor in breast cancer.

Knowing this, I’ve been on the lookout for an aluminum free deodorant that works. I’ve been using this one from Lavanila,it smells amazing and it works well.  There are no harmful ingredients in this product which makes me love it even more. If its a particularly hot day or I’m doing a lot, I may reapply once in the afternoon. Not a bad trade off considering there are no mineral oils, sulfates, or any of the bad chemicals you want to steer clear of.

Another Lavanila product I’ve been using daily is the Body Butter. You won’t find mineral oils, sulfates or parabens. Nothing but pure shea and cocoa butters blended together into a luscious scent, imparting loads of moisture. You can read through the list of ingredients and understand each one, no chemicals or toxins to be found.

I want to test and review each product that Lavanila offers and they offer a lot. Lavanila make  everything from baby care to sunscreens and candles, lip butter and more. For those people with  sensitive skin or allergies, I suggest you try this luxurious brand. For more information, please click here.

It’s so hard to find an eye cream that actually delivers everything it claims…At first application, your eyes may seem smoother and younger.  But look closer girls…They really don’t look much different at all!  Sigh   I have personally tried many eye cream enhancers only to find myself back to where I started a week later…not happy!

Darphin Paris Stimulskin Plus Eye Contour Cream

However, I was sent a sample of Darphin Stimulskin Plus Eye Contour Cream and let me tell you, finally an eye cream that does what it promises!!!  Key ingredients include:  Deepsane, MDI-Complex, Centella Asiatica, Mango and Chamomile Extracts, Wheat Proteins. All I can say is this combo rocks!  As soon as I gently applied it under my eyes I could see my fine lines gradually fading to the point of no return…YAY!

If you are looking for a quality eye cream with the right ingredients, then look no further.  The entire Darphin skincare line excellent.  Check it out…
