From breakouts to dullness, here's how to finally put an end to the most frustrating skin issues

How to Fix Annoying Skin Problems
This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care tips article
Only a lucky few of us have a naturally flawless complexion. For the rest of us normal folk, dealing with skin issues like under-eye bags, acne, and wrinkles can be frustrating daily battles. But before you give up on perfect, glowing skin, check out our experts' 12 fast fixes for the biggest skin care woes.
Hello Gorgeous! I love when a company reaches out to help women in need. So many times a woman, especially moms will help heal everyone else around them, and have little left to help take care of themselves. Jafra is reaching out to women with chronic and terminal illnesses. Watch this short video.

GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR NEVER FELT SO BEAUTIFUL JAFRA Joins Beauty Bus Foundation to Deliver Dignity and Beauty to Chronically and Terminally Ill Women, Men, Children and their Caregivers JAFRA USA, a leader in empowering women personally and professionally through a career in direct selling, is partnering with Beauty Bus Foundation, a national non-profit organization that brings dignity, hope and respite through beauty and grooming services to those who need pampering the most – people with chronic and terminal illness and their caregivers.

 JAFRA USA has selected Beauty Bus Foundation, an organization founded by women entrepreneurs, as its national charity given its shared mission to impact lives through beauty. Beauty Bus Foundation reminds its clients that they are beautiful on the inside and out through In-Home Visits and Pop-Up Salons in which licensed professionals provide free services such as manicures, pedicures, hairstyling, facials, and make-up.

The organization also provides Bags of Beauty filled with complimentary beauty and grooming products to encourage clients to pamper themselves. “We’ve been in the business of transforming lives for more than 55 years,” said Leah Cadavona, Director of Marketing, JAFRA USA. “That mission has taken on an even deeper resonance with JAFRA’s alliance with the Beauty Bus Foundation.”

 Through the power of its wide network of Independent JAFRA Consultants throughout the U.S., JAFRA USA has embraced its partnership with Beauty Bus in a variety of ways including: Financial support to bring Beauty Bus services to even more people in need Special offers for a variety of JAFRA products with a portion of proceeds benefiting Beauty Bus Hands on volunteer opportunities for Independent JAFRA Consultants Support at Beauty Bus In-Home Visits and Pop-Up Salons throughout Southern California and across the nation Generous donation of JAFRA signature skin care, beauty and grooming products for the Bags of Beauty program.

Melissa loved a good day at the spa.

When her ability to leave the home became compromised, Founder Alicia Marantz Liotta, Melissa’s cousin, was able to schedule in-home beauty services through her connections within the beauty industry. Witnessing the hope, happiness and respite these services brought to Melissa, Alicia and Founder Wendy Marantz Levine, Melissa’s sister, were inspired to launch Beauty Bus Foundation. “The founding of Beauty Bus by two caring women is highly synergistic with JAFRA’s goal of inspiring women to take action to enhance their lives and the lives of others,” Cadavona said. “We’re thrilled at the infinite possibilities to touch lives through this partnership.”

Las Vegas Electric Daisy Carnival: simple temporary hair color for a weekend of fun

7 Healthy Tips for a Happier You

Sometimes we need a breather from life's stresses. So show yourself a little TLC with these tactics for a healthier, happier you


7 Healthy Tips for a Happier You

This is a TotalBeauty.com stress and women article

It's easy to get so bogged down by life's to-dos that you forget about your own health. But fitness and lifestyle expert Tanner Martty says it's never too late to take charge of your body and mind. See his seven secrets for refreshing yourself from the inside out now.

Get rejuvenated

Hello sweet Gorgeous! Las Vegas Motor Speedway will host the Electric Daisy Carnival. It's more than a electronic music festival-it's also an art installation and multi-sensory stimulating event!
If you don't have tickets-goodluck, it's sold out and also will be hosting a business conference for the genre at the same time. So, what are you going to wear? Will you be chalking you hair or would you like something a bit better lasting in the heat and humidity?
 

Try Streekers-especially if you have light colored hair. There are 8 shades to choose from, and it's easy to apply-will wear and not fade or transfer once set. Take my word-setting with a blast of heat from your hair dryer helps the color to "set" onto the hair and not rub off when sweaty.
I live in Arizona, I know a lot about sweat.



Now maybe you are not going to the Las Vegas Electric Daisy Carnival but want some simple temporary hair color to help hide the grays and roots in between colorings.

I use the TouchBack leave in conditioner to help stretch the time in between colorings so I am not processing my hair with chemicals as much as I am swimming in them! Remember, this product works best on dry hair and it too can benefit from a heat blast from the hair dryer to help it set up.

To get your Streekers-visit the website to find a retailer near you:
http://www.streekers.com

and to get some Touch Back Plus Leave In Conditioner visit

Lately, the hair care world has been clamoring for the L'Oreal Paris' EverCreme Sulfate-Free Moisture System Cleansing Conditioner, a revolutionary one-step hair care system that's sulfate-free, paraben-free, and 100 percent vegan. It also promises to nourish and transform your hair without the bubbles. So, we asked three reviewers to put it to the test. Does it live up to its claims?

Find out


Hello Gorgeous! Happy Memorial Day weekend! A special thank you to all the men and women of the armed forces past and present for their service and sacrifice.

I appreciate you and all that you do! God bless the USA!
Now let's talk about men: if you have need a Father's Day gift or to upgrade your hygiene routine, consider some L'Occitane to do it with.

The L'Occitane brand is made in France and free from parabens and petrochemicals.

These 3 body care products are great for staples in your daily routine: the Verdon Outdoor Moisturizer with spf 30 which is a non greasy, fast drying, fresh scent and most importantly-dries matte on the skin so your face isn't shiny, just protected.

The BAUX deoderant is alcohol free and fast drying on the skin, so no sticky armpit here!

And my personal favorite of the trio is the shower gel-it smells amazing, and is good for hair and body. The description below is from the website http://www.loccitane.com and is a great description of the scent and product. I liked it better than how I was going to describe it-so enjoy. Now go get some for you and your dad, grad, birthday or any day!
The rugged aroma of L'Occitane Eau de Toilette. Redolent with authentic A.O.C. lavender, blended with the peppery, nutmeg scent of burnt wood. Purifies the body, cleanses and shines hair.

Remember: you are beautiful! Or...handsome in this case!

Hello Gorgeous graduate! Before you set out on a Memorial day weekend of fun-consider your skin, and taking care of it so that when you get back from vacation you will be fresh faced and ready to interview. Meaning all blemishes are treated and healed! I've sampled the Murad 4 step acne treatment system which consists of: 1. Clarifying Cleanser containing 1.5% salicylic acid 2. Exfoliating acne treatment gel with 1.0% salicylic acid 3. Skin Perfecting lotion for oil free hydration 4. On the Spot salicylic acid treatment for blemishes The key to this system is using it consistently and the layering of salicylic acid to treat the bacteria on the skin that is causing the breakout. The 30 day system costs about $30-and for about a buck a day, who wouldn't want to put their best face forward? The Murad brand is a trusted source for high quality and results oriented skin care-if you are experiencing hormonal acne as an adult or teenager, try the Murad acne system to help you manage the acne and feel confident in your next interview!

Hello Graduate! Congratulations!

Now that you are out of high school or college and in full income interview mode-and you have had acne that left behind some red blotchy scars, consider incorporating into your skincare routine a skin lightener like the Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector.

It helps to fade the discoloration caused by a pimple. It does take consistent use to lighten the spots though I think you will be happy with the results as your complexion evens out in tone.

The Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector retails for about $30, and can be found in some of the skin sets as a gift with purchase.

It has a light scent and what you are smelling is the hydroquinone ingredient which lightens the skin. You will need to use an spf on your skin to help protect the skin that has been lightened.

For more information visit www.proactiv.com or visit your local retail kiosk which can be found in many malls-like the Superstitions Springs mall in Mesa.

Important-put that sunscreen on! Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!

Hello Gorgeous!

Wow-school is over and graduation ceremonies are happening all over the Phoenix valley tonight. Where did the time go? I suppose we could ask ourselves that questions about many things?

Well if ramping up your anti-aging routine for summer is on your to-do list, then try some Murad Age Reform Time Release Retinol Concentrate. I have been testing my sample for a few days and love the light texture, lack of scent, no sting and best of all the very Star Trek syringe looking tube-it says sci fi to me and I like it!


This product is a part of the skin care routine that comes between washing/toning and moisturizing. So be sure and use it before your moisturizer and sunscreen. Now-the challenge-where to buy: online I've seen it selling for about $34 though if you need it today like right now-then expect to pay $65 at Nordstroms. We all know convenience costs!

Here's a bit of info from the main Murad website: " Wrinkle-FreeReclaiming your youth just got easier. Murad's breakthrough Time Release Retinol Concentrate for Deep Wrinkles features a highly concentrated formula that resurfaces skin, minimizing the length and depth of wrinkles. The luxe multi-action formula also plumps skin to decrease wrinkle volume, while rebuilding damaged collagen to promote a smoother, more refined, younger-looking complexion. Think of it as your best defense against the aging process. " Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!

Hello Gorgeous
If you are graduating this week, CONGRATULATIONS!
You deserve a break and a beauty boost for all of your hard work!

For those of you who have recently got your hair blown out ( I love when the stylist does my hair and blows it out super straight!) or a professional brazillian blowout treatment, these products can help keep it smooth and shiny!

Acai shine & shield spray shine is a lightweight mist that you use to finish your hair look.
This pomade is my favorite product because it adds a piecey texture to create volume and movement without looking greasy.

It's easy to mold into the hair and re-mold and re-shape the hair later in the day if you are switching up your hairstyle.

In the Arizona intense heat, I have seen the two Acai Brazillian Blowout products hold up under the extreme heat.

So far so good! Maybe get some for yourself for your newly graduated self or to get a jump on the summer beach looks!

Hello Gorgeous!

I love products that are good and do good at the same time.

The Bead for Life Shea Butter products are amazing in rich texture and high quality shea butter but better yet, it is a life sustaining product for the women of Uganda.

In Uganda the shea nut is known as 'women's gold'. When you purchase a soap or peppermint lip balm, you are helping hundreds of impoverished women ear income and rise out of poverty.


The soap and lip balm are luxurious!Just think that as you are using a natural product on your children and self you are helping a mom on the other side of the world help hers!

The ladies of Uganda along with Bead For Life also make jewelery-I sampled soap, but the photos of the hand made beads that are formed into necklaces, earrings and bracelets are beautiful too!

Please visit the website http://www.beadforlife.org/ and learn about how you can help and there are several ways to get involved.

Dr. Murad's summer skin tips with Intensive-C Radiance Peel

TotalBeauty.com
Is Your Mani Destroying Your Nails?

The sad truth is ... yes. But here's what you can do about it


Is Your Mani Destroying Your Nails?

This is a TotalBeauty.com nails article

It's simple: If you polish your nails non-stop, then they're probably not going to be all that healthy. But with tons of nail art to try, who really wants to give up the paint? Not us! Here's how to solve your nail problems without ditching your lacquer.

Save your nails

Hello Gorgeous! I have been using the Murad Intensive-C Radiance Peel and it's so tingly and effective! After months of training in the sun, chlorine and extreme desert conditions-it was a real treat to have a facial with this Murad product.

 I'm looking mighty fresh faced for summer! Here's a short article from Dr. Murad on how to get your skin looking it's best for the summer travel season or your upcoming graduation ceremony!

Dr. Murad’s 10 Steps to Radiance Radiance is more than looking your best; it is feeling your best. Because the health of the whole body is reflected in the health and appearance of the skin, Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and founder of Murad, Inc recommends an Inclusive Health approach to skincare that aides the needs of the spirit, skin and body through internal care (proper nutrition and supplementation), topical care (appropriate skin care regimens and professional services) and focus on Sense of Self (managing stress and maintaining a healthy connection to yourself and your surroundings).

Dr. Murad shares his recommendations that can naturally help you and your skin look and feel more radiant than ever with a 10-step path to the new radiant you.

1. Get More Sleep Sleep enables the body to reverse everyday free radical damage by replenishing energy, building new cells and repairing connective tissue. Because sleep is an ideal time for cellular renewal and overall repair for the skin and other organs, poor sleep is quite apparent in the complexion.

2. Think of Facials as a Necessity, Not a Luxury Revitalizing skin, relaxing the mind, and improving your skin’s appearance are all benefits of a good facial. Facials feed the skin with nutrients that provide a boost to the complexion resulting in a radiant look.

3. Begin an Exercise Routine Take up an activity that you enjoy and will stick with. Exercising regularly nourishes the skin with oxygen while sweating flushes out toxins.

 4. You Are What You Eat Food fuels your body and mind and when eating poor foods, it appears on your skin. Try eating foods that are rich in anti-oxidants, like pomegranates, which help fight free-radical damage.

 5. Leave Work at Work Make time for family, meeting up with friends, or just doing what you enjoy; your mental, physical and emotional health will improve and be reflected on your skin.

6. Wash, Treat and Moisturize Day and Night Your face needs TLC too! Just like your dentist says to brush in the morning and night, you should also wash your face to rid your skin and pores from the dirt, oil and free radical damage that occurs whether awake or asleep. IntensiveC_Radiance_Peel HR.jpg

7. Use SPF Everyday Protect your skin and keep your complexion looking its best by using sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection every day to avoid damaging skin.

8. Include Supplements In Your Diet Take daily dietary supplements to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to function and provide radiance to your skin.

9. Don’t Stress! Participating in something you’re passionate about reduces stress, promotes positive self reflection and connects people based on similar interests. Engaging in these activities each day will help fight the feelings of isolation that are growing more prevalent in today’s fast-paced society.

10. Nurture Your Skin Take the time a couple times a week to nurture your skin with a mask or peel, such as our new Intensive-C Radiance Peel that launches today! Look for one that has plenty of antioxidants to combat free radicals. This is a great way to maintain the skin’s health in between facial treatments and boost your weekly skincare routine.
Intensive-C® Radiance Peel is available on Murad.com and at the Murad Inclusive Health Spa®. Is avialble at Sephora, Ulta and leading salon and spa locations nationwide. $49.50 for 1.7 FL. OZ.
