Did you know May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month? (I know I’m over three weeks overdue but better late than never!) The Skin Cancer statistics are alarming:

In some parts of the world, melanoma is increasing at rates faster than any other cancer.
More than 1.2 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, kills one person every hour.

Before the warm summer days lull you into a sunning and tanning trance, keep in mind that the skin is the body’s largest organ and susceptible to cancer too.

Summer Makeup Bag Essentials

May 27th, 2009 by Crystal

Like clothes, makeup gets rotated in and out with the seasons and my makeup bag reflects that. So, what are the bare necessities needed for your summertime routine? While it varies from person to person, these are some of my basic makeup bag essentials.

Softlips Raspberry with SPF 20 ($3.69 US) is an absolute staple for me in the summer. Lips need to be protected with SPF just like skin so I make sure to reapply this often. Not that I mind, since it’s so yummy!

Fight Hot, Sticky Days with Korres Hydrating Face Water

May 26th, 2009 by Crystal

I love living in Southern California where the beaches and sunshine are plentiful. However, I dislike the hot, sticky, and humid weather. Washing my face 30 times a day isn’t an option because it dries out my skin.

To beat the heat I rely on my Korres Hydrating Face Water ($21 US). With two formulas: Orange and Hamamelis, I have Orange.

Similar to MAC Fix+ ($17 US) and Evian Facial Spray ($11 US), Korres Hydrating Face Water is a toner/refresher/moisturizer that lifts impurities from the skin. Korres’ version is mineral-oil free, silicone-free, fragrance-free, and does not affect makeup.
