Sunscreen: stat! Try Aveeno spf 55

These tricks will make you look pretty in every shot, from every angle
How To Look Photogenic (Even If You're Not)
If your Facebook picture is of your bad side, your backside or is SO two years ago, it's time to put up a new one -- stat! Get the perfect profile pic using these expert tips.

The time for sunscreen is now! Just a quick lesson from the weekend, that even though the sun is out and it doesn't feel hot, you can still get burned. I was working this weekend outside and yes, I had on the Aveeno spf dual spectrum 55 spf. It's a lovely lightweight lotion, not greasy, dries dry, and wears well under makeup.

Even though I had that on with mineral makeup comprised of zinc oxide and other things, I still got burned by the second day in the direct sun. Here's the deal, it wasn't hot feeling, just sunny and breezy.

A bit of sun is good for the vitamin D, though too much leaves my skin dry, and leathery looking. Icky!
So onto super hydrating mask, lots of water and eating healthy to get my skin healed and back in shape for the busy week ahead!
Enjoy the beauty bubble today!

OBAGI rosaclear system: some for you & some for me!

TotalBeauty.com
Deep Clean Your Way To Perfect Skin

Say good bye to bad skin for good with these tips and tricks


Deep Clean Your Way To Perfect Skin

Whether we admit it or not, we all want flawless skin. But getting it can be quite the challenge for most of us. That's why we put together this guide, so you can finally get the skin you want.

See guide



Obagi rosaclear system!
Rosacea is a skin condition that usually shows up on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead and appears red, reddish, and splotchy even. It may include papules and pustules which are acne like pimples. It’s common to more than 14 million Americans and many of those with rosacea may not realize that they have it.
There really isn’t a “cure” for rosacea but there is a new and great way to treat it and help manage the symptoms.
Many times, rosacea flare ups can be triggered by emotional situations or stress filled episodes of life…just when you don’t want to appear red in the face, like a job interview!

Rosacea tends to affect those with fair skin most, and both men and women especially those over 30 years of age experience the skin condition.
Now, with the Obagi rosaclear system that was just launched in January 2009, there is a gentle dermatologist tested and allergy tested skin care for calming inflamed, irritated skin.
The Obagi rosaclear system is a prescription based treatment regimen than is non comedogenic ,so pore clogging and pimples will be in check if you are switching from another brand of skincare.
There are just 3 steps and it cleans, protects and moisturizes your skin while calming and soothing rosacea symptoms, while also treating acne like pimples.

Plus you can expect results that reduce the redness, blotchiness and a clearer complexion that is calm, clear and balanced as part of the Obagi rosaclear system.

On a special note: the moisturizer in this set does not have spf so I recommend you add your own or get the Obagi brand in spf 30 to compliment the system.
I received a sample set and tried it even though I don’t have rosacea. Here’s what I found:
The cleanser: lovely, light scent, smooth feeling, and washes clean while removing my mascara (though I did not have the usual ton on). My skin felt clean, but not tight.

The hydrating complexion corrector moisturizer did reduce some redness I had in my skin and left my face feeling soft and supple. What I like about this product is that it contains aloe, lavender and mica for calming the skin and protecting it too!

I did not try the Metronidazole Topical gel because it wasn’t in the box…but this is the Rx only treatment for the inflammatory papules and pustules that look like pimples associated with rosacea. I usually try everything, but honestly, even if this was in the box, I don’t have a true case scenario to test and base a result on. After a quick chat with the Obagi representative, the Metronidazole is not included because it’s the prescription part.

You should really stop by http://www.obagi.com/ and become an “inner circle” member, it’s free to sign up and you’ll be first to know about specials and trials.
On the website you can also locate a Obagi physician by simply entering your zip code. There are several close to me, and some are even in Med Spas. So, it’s easy!

I recommend the system because I love Obagi products and basically you can’t go wrong using their line of skincare.
I personally am more of a Nu-Derm client.
Enjoy!
Now…would you like my tester set? I can’t let it just sit on the shelf and rot! The two items have been opened and sampled, though for all intensive purposes are full!
So, please email me with your details if you would like it and answer the question:

Please name 3 other Obagi product lines found on their website : http://www.obagi.com/
First one emailed in with 3 correct Obagi product lines off the website gets my Rosaclear set!

How to take care of summer sun kissed skin

TotalBeauty.com
Summer Skin Rehab

Dermatologist Heidi Waldorf explains how to treat discoloration, breakouts and your last (hopefully!) sunburn of the summer


According to Waldorf, "pigmentation and acne" are the two most prominent skin issues women face at the end of the summer. Here she explains how you can erase these signs of summer and more with the help of over-the-counter products, prescription creams and in-office treatments. Follow this advice and you'll say hello to fall with gorgeous, glowing, spot-free skin.

See tips


Okay, so it's been a great summer! I know you have been keeping the sunscreen on and in Arizona, the sun is still beating strong and you still need to keep putting it on!
I like the clear sprays, though the lotions last longer. Remember to keep applying and re-applying!

Mole? Freckle? or Cancer? Check!

TotalBeauty.com
Quiz: Is That Mole Skin Cancer?

Answer these questions to find out if you have a suspect mole that should be checked out by a dermatologist, stat!


Quiz: Is That Mole Skin Cancer?

Have a funny looking mole that you've thought twice about? Worried that it might be cancerous? The following questions will help you determine if it's time to see a dermatologist.

Take the quiz


Skin cancer is no joke! And when you live in the sunbelt areas of the United States, checkin a funky spot, freckle or mole is a must do!

In Arizona, we get alot of "secondary" sun exposure just from going in and out of our homes, cars and air conditioned businesses, let alone hitting the Big Surf or rivers and lakes for water fun.

Try the UV SunSense bands that I profiled earlier in the week, or just reapply sunscreen constantly. When I say constantly, I mean on the hour and whenever you come in from the waterplay.

And as always, if you have a skin patch that looks funny, it may be worth a trip to the doctor. Enjoy!

12 Best & Worst Acne Products

Zits happen, so trust these unbiased reader reviews to tell you which acne products actually deliver


Sure, dealing with acne in your teens is cruel -- but in your 20s, 30s and 40s? That's just plain unfair. Here we uncover the top reader-tested acne-fighting products, as well as the products that did not deliver results, so you can save your time and money.

See products

The Best: No. 6: Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion, $13.50

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 8.7*


Even those who have "tried everything and nothing worked" claim this product is "like a miracle..."

No. 5: The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil, $9

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 8.8*


"Just a dab with a Q-tip is all it takes for my pimples to be drastically reduced overnight..."

Okay, if you are going on vacation, or are out in the sun with kids alot, you have got to try these!
Developed by a nuclear physicist, with the same technology to detect UV radiation just like what is used at nuclear power plants or in jobs that deal with nuclear medicine to detect gamma rays.
You put it on, then put on your sunscreen including covering the band, when you step into the sun it turns a blue-purple shade which is how you know it is activated.
Now, when the band begins to lose color it is time to reapply sunscreen or get out of the sun!
I think this is perfect for trips to theme parks, cruise ships, beaches or the soccer field and water park because now instead of just getting a sunburn and finding out that your sunscreen didn't work, you have an actual indicator other than red skin.
For more information visit, www.UVSunSense.com
and...to get your hands on my two free goodies...email me your next sunny vacation plans!
Please include your name, contact info and summer sun plans and a winner will be drawn at random on June 23rd and contacted by email.
Enjoy the daily beauty bubble and see you with your wristband of UV Sun Sense on at the water park!
