Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer = Flawless Skin

images-7

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control was the best product I ever used to fight those trouble acne and brown spots on my skin occurring over and over again in the same spot. I thought my days of breaking out were gone in my twenties, however, my forties brought me back several decades and a loss to find a good acne cream. My friends had plenty of great ideas for wonderful wrinkle creams, but I was alone for my search at forty- nine for a cream to wipe away those embarrassing blemishes.

This light-weight, oil-free formula controls shine and leaves a flawless finish as it hydrates,firms and calms skin.  My skin has literally been transformed at the right time, I was going to make an appointment to have an expensive laser treatment before finding this miracle product. The cream contains smart salicylic acid, anti-microbial peptides, marine extracts and vitamin B3 all working together to prevent breakouts forever that were continually appearing on my skin.  My tween daughter even commented on my skin and wanted the cream for herself, wondering why her mother was still in need of a cream to prevent acne.  I highly recommend this product for all ages and consider myself an expert on acne cream. Thanks to Sarah McNamara and her unbelievable product, I am no longer alone!

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control is available in 5 shades and can be purchased at miracleskintransformer.com

Relax and Laugh Your Day Away with Chocolate Chocolate Moons

7011103_9781621106104_cover-004

Reading is one of the great pleasures that I have now that I am retired. There is still always lots to do each day, but the schedule is so much more relaxed that I can spend time enjoying a good book.  “Chocolate Chocolate Moons” by Jackie Kingon is a unique, yet silly, futuristic mystery. You will laugh out loud as you read and even reread some of the humorous discriptions this author presents.  It is a fun task to keep up with everyone moving around from earth to the moon and Mars with their different weights changed by the gravity force. But I love a mystery and we are not without a mystery in this hilarious venture.  People end up in the hospital after eating Chocolate Moons and the bungling, candy eating detectives are called to do their investigations.  Meanwhile there are news shows and talk show interviews asking the questions about how this could have possibly happened.  But that isn’t all!  Relationships and past relationships are revisited; twin daughters are rehearsing for a contest; electronic devices listening in on suspects and hotels in space.  Such an imagination Jackie Kingon has!  There is so much more, but I don’t want to ruin it for you.  This is a book to read when you want to lay back, relax and laugh your day away.

Purchase you copy today at amazon.com/Chocolate-Moons

Worship the Sun With OBAGI on Your Skin

obagi-sun-shield-broad-spectrum-spf50-matte

Obagi Sunscreen

We are always hearing that we need to wear sunscreen every day and study’s prove that the benefits of daily sunscreen use are real and measurable. I am always looking for a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion that reduces the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. It is very important to me as I spend my summers living on the beach and exercising outdoors. Doing research on sunscreen, I learned that “Broad Spectrum” means UVA coverage which prevents and delays aging and reduces skin cancer. I came across OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 which is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, non-acnegenic, and dermatologist tested. It is PABA free and fragrance free for all skin types which is my number one priority. OBAGI Sun Shield is formulated with 10.5% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate which is a complete anti-aging sun protection with UVB absorption and UVA blockage and helps prevent sunburn.

OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is an award winning sunscreen which provides a high level of protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. I loved applying it to my skin, it was non greasy and completely sheer with an elegant matte finish that feels great on your skin. It dried without residue or shine. OBAGI Sun Shield did not feel like I had a sunscreen on. My skin felt rich. OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (3 oz.) suggested retail price is $46.00 and available for purchase in dermatology, plastic surgery, and other aesthetic physicians’ offices. OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is one of the best sunscreens I ever used….. healthy ingredients, no sunburns, reduces skin cancer, and prevents aging!  Worth every penny!

Feel Like a Glistening Godess with JERGENS natural GLOW

 

jergens-naturalglowfirmingdailymoisturizer-7.5ounce-1I was so excited to try this product, as in the past, I would lie in the sun for hours and damage my skin. The other self-tanner products usually had a bad odor, so I would not use them and put nice smelling lotion on and relaxed in the sun. Jergens Natural Glow does not have the terrible “self-tanner” scent, in fact, throughout the day, there is no smell at all and nobody would ever know you have on a self-tanner.  The Jergens Natural Glow application is fast and easy, and the best part is there is no streaking.  The color is a beautiful beige brown, not orange and I have a beautiful healthy glow within three applications.  I would definitely recommend the product it is easy to use, has a great glow and is very inexpensive.

My friend recently introduced me to Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer. I can’t believe I missed this one on the store shelf. Not only will this moisturizer give you added color after a few uses, but will also help reduce the appearance of cellulite in as little as 7 days. Remember, Jergens Firming Daily moisturizer will not eliminate cellulite but will lessen the appearance. Best of all, it really does work. In a world that can be quite hazardous being exposed to the sun, we definitely don’t want to tan that way.  When people ask you how you got your great looking color, tell them Jergens, it’s as simple as that.

Jergens Natural Glow also carries sunscreens and you can find Jergens products at retail stores nationwide. www.jergens.com

Pevonia Botanica Sunscreen My New Best Friend

 

Sunscreen-Banner

Pevonia

My face and body have been in desperate need of a sunscreen that will not cause blemishes and goes on smoothly. Many sunscreens have gone on greasy, producing shiny and dry skin which makes it difficult to apply makeup, so I usually just keep my gigantic sunglasses on for the day. A friend gave me Pevonia Botanica sunscreen spf 30 to try at the pool for eight long hours.  This product was my favorite for many reasons, it nourishes the skin with vitamins E, C and B while protecting against harmful UVA and UVB rays while also providing hydration at the same time. The beauty of this product is it does much more than shield you from the sun, it’s paraben free and good for all skin types. I realized this was the only sunscreen I could find with moisturizing lotion with the highest SPF so it’s serious sun protection while still being a beauty product. The lotion is a buttery texture which literally melts into my skin providing sunscreen and protection from premature skin aging.  I am so happy, I was finally able to take off my sunglasses and smile at the sun! pevonia.com

Taylor is Sweet and Fresh

spacer images-10

Part of completing a perfect outfit is not only looking like a million dollars, but smelling like it too! The new Taylor Swift perfume “Taylor” can do the trick. Taylor Swift’s newest fragrance is the perfect mixture of sweet and fresh. This exquisite fragrance comes in a beautifully designed clear bottle with a clear beveled glass knob wrapped with pearls, simply gorgeous. It’s  nice to take on those long weekends or an exotic vacation getaway. Recently I went to a sleepover at a friend’s house and it was awesome to just slip in my bag and it didn’t take up much room. Plus, everyone was asking me if I had used all my babysitting money to buy a new expensive perfume, but I told them I didn’t need to buy a really fancy over priced perfume because the new Taylor Swift perfume was exactly what I wanted and it came at a affordable price.  I’d say anyone at any age could pull this off. I am actually going to Europe in a few days and I know us girls tend to over-pack, so taking this new feasible perfume bottle in my luggage is easy because I know it wont take up a lot of space or weigh my suitcase down more then it already is! Overall, I loved “Taylor” and I am eager to try out Taylor Swift’s upcoming scents!
