Products to Help You Age with Grace
How much money have you spent on trying to look better and younger? I have 2 tips to help you spend less by finding products that really work at the BEST PRICE. Here are the top 2 things I've found recently:
1) I used to try every new skin care product that I thought would help, switching with every fad, and spending upwards of $500 per year on skincare. That was until I discovered Paula Begoun, the cosmetic cop. Her no-nonsense approach to skin care, researching books rated each line's product on efficacy and price and allowed me to cut way back on spending.
Eventually, frustrated by the cosmetic industry's exploitation of women, she formulated her own line of skin care and makeup. I now use a mixture of her products and the ones she recommends and my skin is healthy and looks great. AND, I now spend less than $200 per year on skin and body care. My absolute favorite products from her body care line include the shaving gel (which my husband and I both use) and skin relief treatment (helpful for rashes and redness after shaving or tweezing).
She recently released a new report on anti-aging products, "Anti-Aging Superstars" where she outlines the top ingredients that have a real impact on skin's functioning and appearance, along with the best products that contain them. I found this report to be very informative and useful in helping me choose the skin care regimen to keep my face in the best shape I can.
2) I also used to try lots of different makeup to find which one worked best for me. MAC, Bobby Brown, Clinique - I have used them all. But then my hair stylist Renee introduced me to Jane Iredale cosmetics and I was sold. These mineral-based cosmetics are of the highest quality and are excellent for covering wrinkles and skin imperfections. I wear the feathery mineral powder every time I teach Nia, and love how it stays in place even when I sweat. Now, in my opinion it's not cheap, but I use so little product that it lasts for up to a year for me. AND, Renee will do a FREE consultation on you if you call her.
Bonus tip: I recently tried Heel Tastic - the stick for dry, cracked heels - and WOW! My feet are completely different! No cracks, no dryness, and I love the smell! I purchased mine at Sally Beauty Supply for $6, but I think you can find it at most drugstores. I'll save you having to watch the truly gross videos of other people's feet - here's a link to more info on it.
