During the summer months I tend to get dark pigmentation or the “pregnancy mask” reveals its shading again. Is there a natural looking way to get coverage and avoid any more sun exposure to these areas? Cover FX Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer
Covering up the remnants of summer on skin can be tricky. Fine lines and dark pigmentation seem to bleed through conventional makeup and only expose a sheer veil rather than a camouflage. Use what the pro’s do when looking to hide spots and create skin that looks like yours and in an even tone. Cover FX Camouflage Concealer has always been a staple at covering tattoos in Hollywood- ask Angelina, she’s used the brand for years to hide her decorative art on screen. It works seamlessly and last longer than your day, plus it comes in every conceivable shade. So anyone who has something to hide can use it! Check out their primers too. The brightening foundation primer has SPF 50 to prevent further damage!
All this talk of anti-oxidants. Is this the way to go to avoid summer damage on skin and to start to repair what’s already been done? And is there a super anti-oxidant available without having to visit the doctor’s office? DDF Advanced Firming Cream
Anti-oxidants are definitely the buzz word around doctor’s offices and for good reason. Free-radical damage is happening right now to your skin and slowing breaking down the proteins that create the plump structure that keeps you looking young. DDF Advanced Firming Cream is one part of a system created by the acclaimed dermatologist Dr.Sobel. The ultra rich night cream utilizes the purest form of Turmeric (known for its incredible healing aspects all over the world) to restructure where damage has already started and ward off the radical damage that occurs while you sleep. Doctor created but available without having to visit the office.
What about permanently fading the sun damage and darkness? Lumixyl
Discoloration, sun spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation all add years to your complexion. Before, the only place to turn was hydroquinone, but this topical treatment has come under intense fire for potentially dangerous side effects. Because of its suspected toxicity, many women can not get proper treatment for their skin. Enter Lumixyl, a new topical treatment. Developed by dermatologists at Stanford University, the peptide solution restrains tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin, which causes uneven pigmentation and dark spots.
Let’s move on to the hottest trends right now for eyes, lips and hair. First off we saw very dramatic eyes on the run ways this season and complimenting these sultry peeps was a set of deep dark lips. Maybe not a combo you can pull off during the daytime, so skip the eyes and enjoy the new lip shades for fall. It’s been a while since we relished color on the lips and it can be tricky to find a deep shade that doesn’t look dry or migrate into fine lines. Hello L’Oreal Infallible Plumping Lipgloss. First off, it stays on forever, but doesn’t ever dry out your lips. We gave it a shower test, and our sparkle was still there after standing in the stream of water. Plus, the sponge tip applicator makes it super easy to apply even a dark shade like plum.
Now when you're wearing deeper shades one thing you’re going to notice is your teeth can look a bit grayish or yellow when pulling off a deep hue. Step up your brushing and bring in whitening toothpastes. Our pick is Crest's whitening with Scope Toothpaste. Why we like it is because the gentle silica brushes away surface stains which will get your smile ready for a plum lip pick, but it also keeps breath fresh longer- up to 5 times longer. It's made us more confident to pull off a trendy shade knowing our teeth were bright and fresh.
Now on to another hot trend this season -the loose waves or long rock star hair that every celebrity has donned on the red carpet and in the streets of Hollywood. What about the cutting edge bangs or sleek pony? Here's a secret ladies: most of those celebrities are wearing clip in pieces that allow fullness and to achieve that gorgeous rolled wave, bang or long layers you see.
