Zap Your Zits Right at Home With TANDA

For the past few months I have been breaking out with severe acne all over my face  and no matter how much makeup I put on you could still tell I had it. I tried all acne treatments but still was not satisfied with the results. The acne on my face does not clear up as easily as the acne I sprout on my chest and my back (disgusting I know but hey it happens). It felt like my acne was getting worse and in the end I felt like giving up. But I am not one to give up easily on something that I feel very strongly about and I knew for a fact there was something out there that would treat my acne without drying or irritating my skin.

I have found something that actually works and is like stepping into the dermatologists office without the cost.  The TANDA Clear Acne Light Therapy Treatment has cleared my acne in less than a week.  Yes that’s right Light Therapy, the same technology that is used in a dermatologists office, is now available in the comfort of your own home.  The whole set comes complete with the light itself, the pre-treatment gel, charging station, and for those with very sensitive eyes a pair of goggles that will help with the brightness of the light.

The biggest question I had was “How does it work”?  Well, after some research I have found that the secret is in the LED light.  The clincal levels in the blue LED light is designed to kill acne-causing bacteria and will also help to prevent future breakouts.  Now before I had mentioned that it cured my acne in less than a week, I want everyone to know that just because that worked that way for me does not mean it will be the same for others.  Some may take longer, some not so long.  You really have to give the Tanda LED Light sometime to get into the pores and kill the bacteria that causes the acne.

Sleekr Lived-in Curls Hit the Red Carpet

 January, 2013 (New York, NY) – Los Angeles stylist Angel V. Prado www.angelvprado.com created “lived-in waves” with the Sam Villa Sleekr straightening iron for Quinn Shephard from CBS “Hostages” for the Peoples Choice Awards. “I love Sam Villa tools, they make working with hair so easy.  I especially like using Sleekr for creating lived-in waves and other texture,” says Prado.

Lived-in Waves

·       Starting with dry hair, take vertical sections around the head and spray Redken guts 10 root volumizing spray foam from root to mid shaft, comb through with a Sam Villa Detangling Comb using the wide teeth for even distribution of product.

·       Blow dry roots with a Sam Villa Paddle Brush, upwards and away from the face to create movement and lift at the base (until dry)

·       Separate hair into two stacked sections (top and bottom).

·       Starting at the bottom, use a Sam Villa Sleekr straightening iron and take vertical sections (place iron in vertically), spin hair once around the iron and pull iron down the hair as if using scissors to curl ribbon.

·       Repeat on different parts of the hair strand (ex. first section curl at the base going back, next section only curl the mid shaft going forward) and continue until the entire head is curled.  Have fun and keep it sporadic, to create more natural looking texture for the perfect lived-in waves.

·       Finish by spraying Redken wool shake 08 volumizing texturizer and lightly shake with your fingers to add separation and movement.

Kazumi Root Vanish is absolutely Amazing!

 

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi is an amazing beauty accessory that really helped me out of a jam this holiday season. I missed my badly needed hair coloring appointment and could not get another one until the following week. My grays were showing through and I had a few events coming up on the weekend, I needed to touch up my roots quickly. I didn’t want to color my whole head, after all, that wouldn’t make my hair colorist very happy, so I opted for temporary color with ROOT VANISH by Kazumi.

ROOT VANISH is not a marker, shampoo or spray but rather a gel that is brushed on the roots giving you total coverage. ROOT VANISH was designed and formulated by Beverly Hills celebrity colorist Kazumi. Kazumi partnered with the Japanese hair company KIWABI, Inc. and created this fabulous root color accessory featuring over 22 Asian ant-aging botanical extracts which will fortify, strengthen and energize your hair.

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi  is a gel based formula which is toxin free, fragrance free and 100% non transferable. This product truly is amazing. What I really liked about ROOT VANISH was that I was able to  treat my roots while my hair was dry, there was no need to shampoo. I was able to treat my roots quickly and did not have to deal with strong odors that some hair coloring products are famous for. ROOT VANISH is easy to use, simply press the button at the base of the wand until the color starts to dispense through the brush and apply the gel color to your roots. When you need more color, press the button, it’s so easy.  The brush applicator enables you to cover quite a bit of hair at a time. After you finish with your color, blow dry the color in so your hair will not stick. Brush your hair out and style as usual.

ROOT VANISH  can be used in layers and built up to achieve darker colors and the color remains until you shampoo your hair with warm water. Of course, you must always follow the directions on any hair coloring product and you will be amazed, as I was at how easy I found ROOT VANISH to touch up my graying roots.

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi is available in 4 colors, blonde, light brown, dark brown and black and can be purchased at  http://www.amazon.com

BEAUTY: TRUTH or MYTH?

On Studio 10 today, I explain some beauty myths & truths. Here they are: http://www.studio10.tv/video/default.aspx?bctid=3058153123001

1. Chocolate makes you break out.
MYTH – Chocolate won’t cause a breakout, but it is true that a poor diet can irritate your skin, so try to limit your chocolate cravings!

2. The best place to apply perfume is on pulse points.
TRUTH – Applying perfume to pulse points is the best way to make your scent last all day. Fragrances react with heat, so spritz your perfume on your wrists or the back of your neck and you won’t need to worry about re-applying.

3. Your cell phone can make you break out.
TRUTH – Apparently cell phones are premiere breeding grounds for germs. Some experts say the average cell phone has more germs than doorknobs and even toilet seats — yuck! Make sure you take a clean cloth to your cell phone screen every so often to help get rid of any breakout-causing germs!

4. Brushing your hair 100 times every night will increase its shine.
MYTH – Brushing your hair too much actually increases the potential for pulling out strands of hair. Instead, just brush your hair when drying or styling it and use a shine spray if you’re looking for more luster.

5. Ignoring a need for glasses can lead to wrinkles.
TRUTH – Ignoring the need for glasses means more squinting, right? And more squinting leads to…you guessed it — wrinkles. In fact, any repetitive facial movement can lead to wrinkles so wear your glasses and sunglasses!

6. Matching eye shadow with your eye color will make your eyes pop?

MYTH – Actually, contrasting your eye makeup with your eye color is what will really makes your eyes stand out. Here are a couple recommendations based on your eye color:
Green/Hazel: Plum, deep browns, and light golden hues
Blue: Smoky charcoals, chocolate, and bright berry tones
Brown: Soft pinks, natural beige, and shades of bronze

Crossing your legs causes varicose veins?

MYTH – There are plenty of ways to potentially develop varicose veins, but none of them are related to crossing your legs (sigh of relief). Some examples of what could causes varicose veins include genetics, obesity, trauma to the skin, etc.
