When is it rosacea?
I get calls all the time from people who have been diagnosed by a dermatologist as having rosacea. They ask about which products would be best for them, how to you use something, when to use it – basic questions that everyone should ask. Occasionally though, I’ll have people call me who have never been diagnosed. These people have surfed the web and decided that they have rosacea and that nothing else could be wrong.
The Natural Approach
A lot f experts today will try to lead you into thinking that the only way to get rid of acne is to treat it with the most modern, chemically based pharmaceuticals available. What does this actually mean in terms of a cure? It means that your skin may look great but your body and mind will have been subject to terrible side effects like depression, decreased sexual drive, and sometimes even death. It is important to realize that treating acne is a whole body experience and only treating one symptom can usually cause more harm than good.
Dealing with Stress
If you have rosacea, you know that it is often aggravated by stress. In all it’s forms, physical, psychological, environmental, stress can affect rosacea and learning tools to deal with stress will help you gain better control over your condition.

The Benefits of Toner
Washing your face everday: a routine that few people go without. It’s a cleansing ritual where you prepare your skin for the day -or night, depending on when you prefer to wash. It always amazes me how people are often more obsessive about washing their faces than they are their hands. The face has to be clean in order to be healthy is the old stand-by. Maybe a new regime should be created. One where the result of a cleansing isn’t just “clean” skin, but healthy, refreshed, constantly renewed skin.
Confused about so many choices?
Cutting edge beauty? Have you heard this term? It sounds a bit strange to me. I look at the words and wonder why anyone
would want to use something that had a cutting edge on their face ? or for any
beauty purpose. I mean, I realize that a
cutting edge would certainly be applicable to cosmetic procedures (done by
qualified medical professionals, of course) but it always makes me wonder about
the language used to describe beauty products and cosmetics.
Facial acne and you
Do you find that you have more acne on one side of your face than the other? Many people tell me about this common problem and there is a very simple solution for it: but you’ll have to read on to find out what it is!
heat and humidity
On the east coast (so they say) the temperature has turned decidedly summer-like. Many people are living in that sweaty, sticky, unpleasant air mass that kind of sits on your head. I remember living out on the east coast – the only escape from the terrible heat was a jump into my neighbour’s pool. I remember the water being like a thousand melted ice cubes and feeling so refreshed that I didn’t want to come up for air. Of course, the second my head came out of the water, that sticky heat was right back, making my hair go nuts and my sanity disappear. Suddenly, I feel very sorry for my mother…
Mineral Make-Up and You Part 1
Mineral make-up is the next generation of skin care – but is it? In this first of two parts, learn about the real ingredients behind mineral make-up and how they can affect your skin. Have you ever considered wearing a mineral make-up? Maybe your skin is sensitive, you have rosacea, or you just want a more natural approach to looking beautiful. Whatever the reasons, think carefully before you put anything on your face, and always do your research!
Mineral Make-Up and You Part 2
Mineral make-up is an important step forward in the cosmetics industry. Is this make-up safe? Is it good for your skin? Is it a marketing scheme?
Mineral Make-up has been around for literally thousands of years, in fact, modern make-ups have only been used in the last 30 years since synthetics have been developped. So, in a sense, using mineral make-up is like going back to the bascis of what make-up really is – imagine, using the same thing Cleopatra used to make yourself look great!
