We all love the glow of bronzed sun-kissed skin, but tanning beds come with long-term side effects that you may not even be aware of. Let’s start with some obvious problems caused by tanning beds. Let’s Go to the Beach. It Will be Fun, They Said. Sunburn is the most obvious one. You think 8 minutes in the bed is the perfect amount of time to catch some faux rays, but you […]

Let’s take a timeout, no, not the kids… you! When is the last time you pampered yourself, felt amazing in your skin, or even had a hot shower with peace? If it took you longer than a few seconds to answer these questions, it’s been too long. As mothers, we are always putting our kids first, and our kids will only benefit from our relentless pursuit of being perfect for them. But… there is a ‘but’ in this case, we lose ourselves a little. We no longer make the time to feel and look amazing like we used to. We […]

If your wife, fiancée or girlfriend is anything like me, they love chocolate, but they also want something special, that lets them know how much you care. Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday, but in this world, taking a day to celebrate love for one another is needed. What Options Do I Have?

We all want that glowing, youthful and radiant look, naturally; but it’s not easy, as skincare in Woodbridge is a weather-intense struggle. We often start strong with skincare routines, and then slowly fade into the dark winter, using and doing just the minimum.

You’re spending your hard-earned money on chemical peels, facials, and high-quality face creams but are you taking care of this investment? With summer just around the corner, we feel obligated to mention the importance of sunscreen and just how critical it is. Sun protection has come a long way, and it’s no longer a greasy mess that never absorbs into your skin.

Everyone has a stubborn part of their body, and no matter how much working out, dieting or lotion you apply, it doesn’t seem to change – there’s simply no change (hint: laser skin tightening). For a lot of us, the issue is caused by cellulite. Cellulite doesn’t discriminate, and anyone can get it; young, old, thin or thick. Cellulite happens when your skin dimples, and it’s triggered by a layer of fat under the skin that’s pressing up against connective tissue and bulging. Cellulite 101: Before We Discuss Laser Skin Tightening Before we jump in, let’s review a few cellulite […]

While sunspots is the cute name for them, they are also known as age spots, but what exactly are they and what causes them?

If you want to avoid getting sick, it helps to be really good-looking. That’s one of the conclusions from a new study from researchers at the University of Cincinnati. The team studied men and women between the ages of 24 and 35 and then rated the attractiveness of each person on a scale. What they found was that more attractive people were less likely to suffer from a wide range of health problems – everything from diabetes and high cholesterol to depression. So, in theory, wouldn’t this mean that supermodels are healthier than other folks? Proof that Attractive People Are […]
