Get The Look: Jessica Biel at the Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit

John Frieda International Creative Consultant Harry Josh gave Jessica Biel super-sleek, shiny hair for the Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit last night benefitting Tilda Swinton. The simple, smooth hair, parted in the center, complimented the actress’ white gown, which was adorned with chains across the shoulders and neckline.

To soften the embellished dress, Harry prepped Jessica’s hair with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Serum ($9.99, drugstores nationwide) and blew out her hair with a boar-bristle brush. Harry then used his new Harry Josh Pro Tools Ceramic Styling Iron ($250, hairenvy.com) to flatiron section by section, sealing in sleek style for the evening.

Cornucopia of Beauty on Your Carolina TV

When the air turns cool and the trees are ablaze with color, it’s time to taste the autumn harvest. Fall’s crop of fruits and vegetables offers a range of intense flavors and great textures. In autumn grocery stores and farmers’ markets are full of fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, apples and pomegranates. Here are some beauty products that I presented today on Your Carolina featuring some of these popular Fall fruits in their formulations and why.

Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient- Rich Facial Mask- The enzymes ( a group of complex proteins) in pumpkin make it a safe and natural exfoliator which is alternative to chemical peels. Also, loaded with antioxidants pumpkin protects skin cells from free radicals such as pollution, poor diet etc. The oil from the pumpkin seeds is uniquely beneficial for skin. It is rich in essential fatty acids that regulate proper skin sebum (oil) production, which makes it useful for both oily/acne-prone skin and dry skin.

Michael Todd Pink Grapefruit Energizing Body Lotion – Grapefruit is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, when applied topically, the grapefruit extract can provide an array of anti-aging benefits like evening skin tone and fighting off free radicals and it promotes the production of collagen. Also, it’s great for oily and acne prone skin. Grapefruit increases the pH in the skin which will reduce acne.

Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Shampoo – Green apples are another great anti-aging ingredient that keeps the elasticity in your skin and youthful looking by preventing wrinkles and texture in the skin. Green apple is great for the hair by working wonders to fix dandruff. It is also a recognized remedy for strengthening the locks, enhancing hair growth and preventing hair loss.

Carmex Ultra Smooth Lip Balm Stick SPF 15, Pomegranate – Pomegranate makes for a great moisturizer. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin to give strength and support to the skin. It will slow down the formation of wrinkles and any age related “markings”.

Project FIG, Shave Gel- Figs are fully loaded with skin protecting and nourishing antioxidants to help soften the skin. Fig contains enzymes that help break down dead, flaky cells on the skin’s surface. Figs also have moisturizing properties similar to the skin’s own natural moisture, making it an excellent conditioning agent as well.

GUD from Burt’s Bees Pearanormal Activity Natural Body Wash – Pears are a natural treatment for blemishes and redness, and can help to reduce irritation and discomfort from sun or wind burns. Pears also aid in reducing excess oil in oily skin. Pear helps protect skin from the Earth’s daily assaults.

Get Your Hair Ready and Set with REDKEN!

Redkin
I recently received some Redken hair products for review and I couldn’t be happier because Redkin is one of my favorite hair care products. Redken Satinwear 02 Prepping Blow Dry Lotion actually left a “satiny” feel to my hair  after using it.  I have thought, at times, that the constant blow drying of my hair may not be good for it and have blamed the occasional coarseness I’ve felt on the drying process.  I normally have a soft, baby fine hair so when it feels coarse, it feels strange to me.  This product is easy to use and I didn’t have to use a lot to notice a big difference in the look and feel of my hair.  It was easy and fun to apply as with a few swipes it spread smoothly through my damp hair.    I proceeded to blow dry my hair in the usual way and found that it had a soft, non frizzy, smooth finish when I was done.  Styling was a cinch since It was more manageable with the feel of more body.  I like the way it applies, looks and feels.  Nice smell and it dries fast!  Good product!
220-2
Redken’s Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray has a wonderful new fragrance and IS quick drying.  There is no residue or flaking so you don’t have to worry about having that “dandruff look” with this spray.  Plus, your hair will still have a nice shine to it!  This spray is 24 hour humidity resistant and has an 8 hour control.  What more can we ask for when a product gives us all we need? If you want a nice, smooth finish, you should try Redken’s Quick Dry 18.  I think you will like it.
Redkin Hair Care products can be found in salons nationwide. To find a salon near you, please visit www.redken.com/

Precision M.D. Celfix DNA™ Youth Recovery Facial Serum makes a “groundbreaking” discovery that will help delay future signs of aging skin!

I’m really fascinated with all of the studies that are done with the new technology that’s available using the latest finds with ingredients and developing products that are keeping our skin healthy and looking younger at any age.

Celfix DNA™ is one of those products that I had an opportunity to try, really liked, and am looking forward to sharing it with you.

I knew with the Celfix study results, and with an earlier similar study that was done in Italy, that Celfix DNA™ was a product that would really get some attention when it became available in the marketplace.

Here is some of the interesting data:

Celfix DNA™ was actually part of a study that was published by Board Certified dermatologist James Spencer, MD.in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology.

Precision M.D. Celefix DNA™

Precision M.D.
Celefix DNA™

Dr.Spencer studied the “effects of sunscreen plus Celfix DNA Youth Recovery Serum”, and the results were quite noteworthy! Regarding anti-aging and the results of this study, Dr. Spencer said “This research makes a strong argument for daily use of Celfix DNA and sunscreen for patients who want to delay the signs of aging.”

Earlier, a similar “clinical study” comparable to Dr.Spencer’s was done by Dr. Enzo Berardseca, an eminent Italian dermatologist” using Photolyase , which happens to be a “key component” in Celfix DNA Youth Recovery Serum! This study revealed that “sunscreen alone is NOT enough to protect your skin!”

Photolyase is a “naturally occurring” enzyme, and when it was combined with a sunscreen, quoting the clinical study, “there was a major reduction in the appearance of the signs of aging caused by UV radiation (measured by pyrimidine dimers), almost as if the skin was never exposed in the first place.” Now, that’s quite a finding!!

Consider these “Facts” regarding the care of your skin:
• Did you know that 80% of “the visible signs of aging are the consequence of UV radiation”?
• Are you aware that your body tries it’s best to deal with UV radiation, but can handle about only 50% of the harm that it’s doing to your skin in 24 hours. That’s insufficient, and your skin needs some more help!

Well, here’s where Celfix DNA Youth Recovery™ comes into play! It’s the only product that “features Celzyme Technology™ “! Celzyme Technology™ happens to be a combination of three dominate enzymes including Photolyase that was mentioned above as the enzyme that was used in Dr.Berardseca’s very successful study!

Celfix DNA Youth Recovery™ is a light weight, non-greasy serum that will not only help you fight your “future signs of aging”, but any skin type can use it!

The other two enzymes in Celfix DNA Youth Recovery™ are endonuclease, and OGG1 that also focus on indications of aging skin. This potent Celfix DNA serum also contains “antioxydants” to protect your skin from free radicals that cause aging, and hyaluronic acid to help increase hydration levels in your skin.

Bottom line, Celfix DNA Youth Recovery™ will fit nicely into your treatment routine! As the above studies concurred, it does take more than an SPF to protect your skin from sun damage, and Celfix DNA™ serum has all the right components to compliment your SPF, provide the advantage of protecting your skin, and help resist aging.

You may purchase Celfix DNA™ Youth Recovery™ at physicians’ offices across the nation. Read more about this fine product and find a doctor near you to purchase your product at:

Celebrity Beauty Guru, Skyy Hadley Shares her DIY Beauty Secrets

image001-28

Pumpkins are more than just for carving on Halloween, they’re rich in vitamins and nutrients and can do wonders for the skin! Celebrity beauty guru, Skyy Hadley, shares some ways to incorporate pumpkins into your beauty routine this fall.

image002-18

DIY Face Mask
Pumpkins are rich in Vitamins A and C and contain various enzymes that help nourish and brighten the skin making them perfect to use in facials. Below is an easy recipe to create your own pumpkin face mask at home.
*Mix one can of pureed pumpkin in a bowl
*Stir in a cup of plain yogurt, 4-5 tablespoons of honey and a 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
*Wash face and while face is still moist apply the mask using your fingers in an upward motion
*Let sit for no more than 10 minutes and remove with warm water and washcloth
*There will be leftover mask so seal it in a closed Tupperware container or have a girls’ spa night!

Blemish Treatment
Pumpkin contains the acne fighting vitamins E and T (aka Torulitine) and can aid in reducing pore size and preventing the appearance of pimples, blackheads and blemishes. Cut open a fresh pumpkin and slice it you would a cantaloupe. Rub the fleshy side against your face after cleansing twice a day for healthier looking skin.

Moisturizer
Natural enzymes found in pumpkins are great for hydrating, soothing and softening dry, cracked hands and feet. Keep the fleshy/stringy pumpkin parts you pull out when carving and work a small amount into your hands (as if you’re washing your hands) and rinse with warm water. Your hands will instantly be smooth and soft.
*TIP: Mix 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of Vaseline and apply to extra dry heels and cover with socks overnight for an ultimate moisturizing treatment.
