Beating the Wedding Stress with New Products from Kiehl’s

by Julia DiNardo

kiehl_s skin rescuer stress-minimizing daily hydrator
At exactly 51 days from my wedding,  life is currently quite hectic.  I haven’t been discussing the upcoming nuptials much, mainly because everyone time I bring it up my heart starts to race, the adrenaline gets pumping, and most likely, my blood pressure elevates; it is an exciting, but EXTREMELY stressful time. Kiehl’s Since 1851 is clearly sympathetic and more than willing to troubleshoot the effects of this stress on my skin with two new products: Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator and Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream.

The Hydrator (pictured above, $40) works first to treat, calm, and hydrate the skin with chamomile extract, glycerin and shea butter, then works to limit inflammation which gives the look of obviously stressed skin, but using Rosa Gallica extract to minimize the flare ups. Last, the product reinforces the skin barrier with mannose (a sugar derivative), squalane (comes from olives)  to heal, and a mix of ceramides (lipids) to protect and strengthen that aforementioned, all-important skin barrier. Use it for several weeks to see results of improvement as the visual signs of stress on your skin begin to dissipate. Continue reading…

Summer Travel Bag Essentials

by Julia DiNardo

Quick weekend getaways are part of the summertime fun,  and I have a checklist and routine of the items that I generally include, sometimes keeping a pre-packed bag ready to roll for a last-minute trip! Here’s a break down of some reliable summertime go-tos when making a quick escape!

(From left to right): A sturdy bag that can accommodate as much or as little weight as you desire is a must (Liz Claiborne bag); a dress that can work in day and evening and won’t wrinkle is a must (dress by Persifor); a straw hat for the beach or mid-day strolls is important to protect the face and scalp from the sun (hat by Hat Attack); a chic, sleek one-piece bathing suit is easy to wear and pack (Norma Kamali one piece); and shorts with pockets that can be beachwear, workout wear, or sleepwear are extremely helpful (shorts by Puma).

Paraben-Free; a Natural Approach to Skin Care

by fashion pulse contributor

There’s been a lot of questions regarding what parabens are, and why they should be avoided, so we decided to pull together some definitions and products to help to shed light on the subject. When’s the last time you looked at the ingredients in your face soap or moisturizer? Maybe it’s time to start paying attention and deciding what you want and don’t want on your body.

What are parabens? A paraben is any of a group of compounds used as preservatives in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and the food industry (dictionary.com).

What products have parabens? Shampoos, moisturizers, lipstick, foundation, concealer, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving and cleansing gels to name a few. Without parabens, bacteria would begin to develop in the product, potentially harming users.

Why should we avoid parabens? Recently, health concerns are popping up as we are being told to steer clear of paraben products. They are being linked to cancer and/or hormonal disruptions. Whether or not they are incredibly harmful remains in question, but for those who wish to err on the side of safety, we’ve found plenty of products that do not contain parabens.

1. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion: A lightweight moisturizer designed to leave a balanced appearance, priced at $24.50.

2. Neutrogena Naturals is a line devoted to pure, natural skincare. Prices range from a $2.99 lip balm to a $7.49 cleanser.

3. Tarte 24.7 Natural Lip Sheer, SPF 15 gives lips a “treat-mint” with vitamin E and a breath freshening burst, all for $16. Available in 5 shades at Ulta.com.

4. bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, $25, gives flawless coverage without any harmful substances. Made from only pure, crushed minerals, this powder feels like a cream. Check out the entire Bare Escentuals line available at Sephora.com

5. Laura Geller Sugar Free Blush and Brighten Boysenberry, $29.50 The matte finish of this blush provides a warm, natural-looking flush to the skin, while the color palette is just exquisite to look at.

The preservatives may help shelf life, but these paraben-free products are more concerned with real life. If the results are real, why not take a natural approach to skincare? To find a range of products and brands specifically paraben free and/or made mainly of natural ingredients, most beauty e-tailers now offer sections dedicated just to that classification at places like Sephora, ULTA, and Drugstore.com.
