Why Eye Area Skincare Isn’t Just For Beauty Lovers

Eyetitude products specifically focus on this most delicate area of your face with ingredients that repair and rejuvenate. Combining science with nature using cutting-edge formulas, the brand meets everyone’s eye needs.

There’s more to worry about than fine lines and wrinkles. Our everyday environment wreaks havoc on our skin to begin with, but especially around our eye area. 

For athletes and outdoor adventurers spending time in the sun, Eyetitude gives them extra care to combat sun damage. Even those constantly working on a computer aren’t safe as UV light from the computer affects skin.

Eyetitude creates biocompatible formulas that can also be used on problematic skin outside of the eye area, which is great news for busy moms and those on the go who only have time to use one product.

NoCrowZ Retinol Eye Cream – Don’t let the creamy texture fool you. Behind this advanced strength pro formula there’s cutting-edge technology that allows delivery of retinol and other supportive ingredients deep into the skin targeting fine lines and wrinkles.

EyeZ-luronic Serum – This formula containing key ingredients Hyaluronic Acid and Japanese tea extracts is perfect not only for your eyes, but for the anti-aging concerns of your face, neck and decollete. As the serum generates cell turnover for stronger firmer skin, you feel silky smooth.

Five Inexpensive Glamorous Costume Ideas for Halloween

Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the year, offering a chance to be whoever you want to for the day. It’s an opportunity to get creative and become your favorite glam character or role model. The best part is that you don’t need to invest in diamonds or designer dresses to feel like a classic beauty. Here are some glamorous costume ideas for your next Halloween event.

  • 1920s Flapper Girl

Nothing says glam like the roaring 20s. Channel Great Gatsby vibes and dress as a fun and flirty flapper girl for Halloween. The costume is simple, yet classic, with the fringed black dress, some pearls, fitted black gloves, and the iconic feather headband. You can mix it up based off your preference and inject some golden tones to make it extra glam. You can purchase the whole ensemble as a set online at Spirit Halloween, and use a Spirit Halloween coupon to get a nice discount!

  • Marilyn Monroe

The classic glamour queen herself, Marilyn Monroe, makes excellent inspiration for your next Halloween costume. Everyone will recognize this costume the second you walk in in the white dress, with some bombshell bouncy curls. It’s a stunning dress that will make you feel confident and glamourous, especially when paired with some flashy stilettos. You can add a platinum wig to top off the look.

  • Cruella deVil

While she is a character everyone loves to hate, there is no arguing her glamour. Cruella deVil, in her statement fur coat and red gloves, exudes luxury. You’ll likely want a wig with this costume to create her iconic black and white hairdo and add a fake cigarette holder to round off the ensemble. Her makeup is extreme, but an integral part of the look. Intense and overdraw eyebrows, bold green shadow, and a bright red lip make this costume glamourous in a twisted way.

  • Mermaid

Dressing as a mermaid gives you room to play around with your costume since you don’t need to replicate one specific look. You can choose colors that flatter your skin tone and add as much or as little glamour as you want. Colorful sequins will reflect light and ensure your costume makes at statement at whichever event attend. You can choose a mermaid style dress, that fans out like a tail at the bottom, or opt for two pieces, with a shell bra on top and a fitted mermaid skirt. The mermaid figure is exceptionally flattering and sexy on everybody. You can add an adorned headdress, or some pearls to up the glamour factor.

  • Belle – Beauty and the Beast

When it comes to Disney, Belle’s ballroom gown is just about as glamourous as it gets. The billowing yellow ball gown and classic updo are gorgeous. Try this look out yourself at your next Halloween event and WOW everyone that attends. You can purchase the dress online, from a store like Spirit Halloween, or keep an eye online for a vintage option. Pair the dress with fitted long yellow gloves and a pair of modest heels.

What to Check When Buying a Laser Hair Cap

Did you know that over 60 million people in the United States suffer from hair loss? That’s pretty much why the hair regrowth industry has been raving about laser therapy and its effectiveness in treating baldness. Moreover, medical practitioners recommend low-level light therapy (LLLT), a precision technology to regrow hair.

The low-level light therapy uses a hair growth cap, also known as laser hair cap, to treat hair loss individuals. With a plethora of options available in the market, you have to be careful while purchasing the right laser cap that cures your hair fall problem. Here’s a list of attributes you can check when buying a laser hair cap.

Price

The laser caps are relatively affordable, ranging between $575 to $1000. Compared to other expensive hair treatment procedures, like the hair transplant that costs over $5000, this is relatively cheaper. Some of the hair cap systems also offer you the option of interest-free payments.

Usage

Ensure you fully charge the battery pack while in the off position. Place the laser cap in the hat provided, and connect the battery pack to the laser cap. Finally, turn on the power switch. And now you are ready to use the laser cap.

The best part is that you can wear it on the go or while you are at home!

Thus, while buying a laser hair cap, ensure it is easy to use.

FDA Certified

LLLT is FDA cleared. Such certification is reassuring and convinces you to go ahead with the treatment.

While deciding the brand, check if it is FDA-certified. Every brand mentions its FDA clearance ID. Check this ID on the FDA website to confirm the manufacturer’s claims of FDA Clearance.

Laser Count

One of the primary attributes of a hair growth cap that needs your attention is the number of laser diodes used. Make sure you buy a laser cap that uses a sufficient number of diodes, not less than 148 or 272.

The LLLT therapy stimulates and enhances cell function, enabling hair growth by absorbing in the cell, and stimulating cellular activity. The laser lights penetrate through the skin and reach the hair follicles. They harmonize with a frequency between the range of 630nm–670nm in wavelength.

This frequency regenerates your hair follicles, giving them increased energy & blood flow. The number of diodes available in a laser cap determines its overall effectiveness. For instance, a laser hair cap with 148 diodes will be more effective than a laser cap with only eighty diodes.

Benefits

Check the benefits the product offers for considerable hair growth. See if it treats thinning and balding hair, reverses hair loss, and revitalizes damaged hair. Be sure that it promotes healthier and thicker hair follicles. Also, it has to be a safe product with no side effects. More important, ensure it is easy to use and portable.

Like men, women experience thinning hair, too. There are nearly 30 million women in the United States suffering from hereditary hair loss compared with 50 million men. Laser therapy is one of the proven science-backed hair regrowth treatments. Ensure you check and understand all aspects, before purchasing the best laser hair cap.
