Did you know that using sun protection all year long is essential for healthy, hydrated skin?

Are you aware that the sun’s UV rays are around all year long?

If you answered “YES” to both of these questions, you’re right!

November was National Healthy Skin Month. It was originated by the American Academy of Dermatology to increase the awareness of the significance of year round care for your skin…even during fall and winter.

The following points for healthy skin, especially during the cooler weather seasons are quoted from ~ Dr. Elizabeth K. Hale, Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at NYU and practicing Dermatological surgeon:

· Cloudy Days Still Mean UVA rays. Those wrinkle and age-spot producing rays are present rain or shine and indoors or out. Whether you’re driving your car, inside near a window, or outside on an overcast day, sun protection is essential.

· Use Lightweight but Equal Protection. Although you may not need a heavy-duty sunscreen this winter, you should still use one that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Dr. Hale suggests Coppertone® Oil-Free Faces SPF 30, a lightweight product you can use.

· Don’t Forget About Your Lips. Lips are the most exposed to the sun throughout the winter months. Toss an SPF-containing chapstick into your bag for everyday use to keep your lips hydrated and protected.

If you have sensitive skin, including rosacea, COPPERTONE® Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotions provide an SPF 50 for your body and face that includes:

• A gentle, hypoallergenic formula
* Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
* Non-Greasy
* Fragrance-free
* Waterproof
* Won’t irritate skin or sting eyes
• Free of dyes, oils and alcohol

These COPPERTONE® Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotions are available nationwide at food, drug, mass and Internet retailers.

I really enjoy the feel of the COPPERTONE® Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotions. The SPF 50 is great, especially with the UVA/UVB protection. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that such a quick to apply, lightweight, easy to use product will provide you protection from the elements.

Your skin is going to be with you for quite some time… Don’t forget your sunscreen, whatever the season!

The first time I interviewed Today Show Style Editor, Bobbie Thomas, the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge  was just getting underway.

It was June, and Bobbie  explained how LATISSE^® was the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment available to grow eyelashes longer, fuller and darker, and how Make-A-Wish Foundation®, a well know organization  that  grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses, partnered with LATISSE® along  with three Challenge Team Ambassadors Kathy Ireland, Bobbie Thomas, and Chelsie Hightower to not only raise money for Make-A-Wish, but create a great opportunity for consumers  to try LATISSE®

As we concluded that interview, the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge was off and running. From the start, it was a win-win situation.

To participate all you had to do was choose your team, (Kathy, Bobbie, or Chelsie), and make a minimum donation of $20.00. Allergan, the makers of LATISSE®, would double your donation (with a maximum donation of $250.00) and send you a LATISSE^® free trial certificate valued at $120.00.

On Monday, September 27, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bobbie, once again, while in Chicago doing a LATISSE® educational seminar. There was such a great energy in her voice I knew she had some good news to share with me.

To date, the LATISE® Wishes Challenge had not only raised $377,998, but extended the campaign through November 30, 2010.

Not only do you still have time to get involved , but there are 3 addional seminar events coming up where you’ll have an opportunity to meet Bobbie Thomas  in person and get the scoop on the latest fashion trends!!  You’ll also “Get in the know” about LATISSE®  from a nationally known oculoplastic surgeon with expertise in facial aesthetics.

Check the list below, and come on “GLAM GALS”…. There is NO cost for this educational seminar, but seating is limited, so RSVP today!!  At the event, you’ll receive a free LATISSE^® trial certificate, and opportunity to schedule a complimentary appointment with a local doctor to find out if Latisse® is right for you.

This is one event you won’t want to miss!

Makeup artistry is an interesting topic since it’s very subjective. Of course, there are some rules to follow, but most often you have to adapt those rules to create a look on each individual’s face that you are applying makeup on. That’s where the creativity, and the artist’s individual style, comes into play.

There are also different venues, like theater, where makeup is not only utilized to create the various characters the actors portray, but to be seen in a defined manor from a well lit stage.

On television, and in film, makeup is used to achieve a finished look under different types of lighting that is being used for any given scene.

HDTV has now entered the arena, and though the techniques may remain the same ,there are a few new rules regarding product and application that have makeup artists experimenting with new textures and how the are applied .

My brother, Robb Fischer, is a national cinematographer and  has always said, “With HDTV, what you see is what you get.”   So now there is another issue for the makeup artist to contend with. Think about it! The reality of the large screen and high definition format is not very forgiving. As a result, a more natural approach to makeup application is more important than ever.

I believe we are in the right place at the right time! Most of us don’t have the stress of worrying about our  “on camera” close up shots, but with the new technoogy that is available, we are not only able to look better than ever, but allow “our” natural beauty to take center stage. That has always been my approach to makeup application and goal as a “camera ready” makeup artist.

I look forward to sharing with you what I’ve learned over the years.  I’ve been trying many wonderful new products that are great for your skin , with the newest ingredients, that are not only healthy but actually bring out that youthful beauty that is so desirable. Can’t wait to share them with you!

I hope to bring a confidence to your approach to makeup, and fads that come and go, by teaching you how to adapt them to your individual needs.

Oh yes…. I even have a few tried and true tricks that are easy, fun, quick and effective to look good and feel great about yourself when you “check” yourself in the mirror.

If you have a question you may contact me at :beauty@itsaglamthing.com , and  please be patient…I will answer questions as quickly as I am able. In fact, let me know what you’re interested in.  It may just be the topic of my next post 🙂  Remember, this is all about empowering  you!   After all!! It’s a GLAM thing!
