DermaFreeze365

This product is AMAZING !

Immediately upon application, I can feel my skin tighten. It feels great! This really dimishes forehead lines & the 11's. I have never used a face product that felt so good to apply! Just apply, wait 10 minutes and your lines are gone ! The effects appear to be cumulative....after just one weeks use, there was a definite decrease in the fine lines around my eyes and mouth. This is by far one of the best products on the market.

The Ultimate Face-Slimming Makeup Trick

The Face-Slimming Makeup Trick Celebs Swear By. You probably wear just one color of foundation, right?




Well, models & celebs usually have two—and that’s the secret to their sleek, sculpted makeup looks! A lot of makeup artists, use one skin-tone-matching foundation color to create an even base and another shade that’s a teensy bit lighter or darker, to add contour to the face.




Many leading makeup artists say that when applied to the center of the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, the lighter hue acts as a “spotlight” to brighten the face. Meanwhile, the darker shade can be used along the jawline to make your cheekbones look higher and slim the face.



If all that color mixing and matching seems like something best left to the pros , try this easy tip: After applying your regular foundation, use a slightly darker foundation shade and add a little bit just under your cheekbones as you would a bronzer. This’ll make your cheekbones more pronounced, and since the hue is neutral , not bronze or pink, you can wear it with any kind of eye-makeup palette.


Favorite Foundations :











Lancome's Renergie Lift. I have been using this for years & always get compliments. A fanatasic foundation that is light while giving great coverage and a luminous glow.










Loreal True Match - Another every day favorite. Natural looking coverage & blendable colors.

Tanning Beds Are Number One

On July 29th, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), - the cancer division of the World Health Organization - classified tanning beds "carcinogenic to humans." This means that tanning beds that were previously classified as "probably carcinogenic" have jumped to the head of the class.


They are now in GROUP 1, which is the highest cancer risk group. To put this in perspective, other carcinogens listed in this group are plutonium, mustard gas and arsenic. Quite an impressive group!


These experts upgraded the level after analyzing about twenty studies. They concluded that the risk of melanoma increased by 75 per cent when people started using tanning beds before the age of 30. There is also a higher risk for people who are fair skinned, such as blondes with blue eyes or redheads with freckles, as well as young children.


Melanoma, the deadliest and least common of all skin cancers was once a disease of older white men. Doctors have seen an increase in the number of young people with skin cancer as the use of tanning beds has increased among those under 30. Previous studies found younger people who regularly use tanning beds are eight times more likely to get melanoma than people who have never used them.


The Tanning Association advertises that they only using the tanning rays and not the burning rays (UVB). Actually, UVA is just as bad if not worse than UVB. UVB rays stop at the skin surface and cause your skin to change color, while UVA rays penetrate deeper and destroy your DNA.


Also, the high intensity UVA rays found in tanning beds are 10 to 12 times more powerful than the UV rays from the sun. These rays harm your skin by damaging the DNA of the cell and release free radicals, the chemicals that cause cell mutations.


This not only causes skin aging, but also makes you more susceptible to skin cancer. And as if that wasn't enough, ultraviolet light also causes cataracts.


Many tanning salons offer sunless tans that can replace the tanning booth. The spray-on tan uses the chemcial DHA to tint the skin. It doesn't need exposure to ultraviolet ray to initiate the color change and is approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.


Sunless spray tans will last between four and ten days. They give you the look of having been in the sun, but don't use ultraviolet rays. This is a great sunless alternative!


So as you can see, being in the number one group is not always where you want to be.

M.D. Forte Skin Rejuvenation Eye Cream





This is a fantastic eye cream and reasonably priced at only $54.00. I saw results with this after only one use, after just one week, the lines around my eyes are just about gone and my under eye area is much smoother !

Update : A few weeks later... Yup, they're still gone ! I like it so much I should erase this post & keep this a secret !



Key ingredients : Soybean Oil provides rich, non-greasy hydration. Vitamin E boosts the skin’s protection against damaging free radicals. Hyaluronic & Glycolic Acids & Retinol stimulate cell-turnover and renewal for a more youthful appearance.




"Because the first and most visible signs of aging tend to appear around the sensitive eye area, this rich, hydrating cream softens, smooths, firms, and tones the skin to rid you of those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. It also provides a boost of Vitamin E to prevent future damage from free radicals and environmental stress. "

What I thought :


I purchased the kit for $61.50. A little pricey for an Olay product , but alot of creams sell for alot more. Olay is also offering a $25 rebate when you purchase $50 worth of product by March 8, 2009. You can download the rebate at Olay.com. The kit also included a $10 coupon off a future product purchase of $40 or more.




This is a stronger product and may take some time getting used to, especially if you have sensitive skin. I have only been using this for two weeks now & am seeing a BIG difference in my skin. It has reduced my forehead lines & the fine lines under my eyes. It has also reduced my undereye puffiness.





This product also has very strong exfoliation properties so for the first week or so you will see alot of sloughing. I also experienced alot of purging. My skin hasn't acted like this since I was in my twenties.


Conclusion: Olay Pro-X is most definitely not a product you would expect to pick up off of a drugstore shelf. Based on results I have gotten compared to some of the more pricier creams, I would call this one a winner !
