Reinvent the Look of Your Skin: Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex Review

Did you know you have a better chance of saving your skin if you start using anti-aging products in your 20s and early 30s instead of waiting until time ravishes your face with wrinkles? However, it is never too early or too late to begin taking better care of it. Thanks to iFabbo, I had the chance to see what I thought ofHydroxatone's AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex.

This luxurious cream is packed with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid for plumping and help in filling in wrinkles while also retaining moisture with argireline, an anti-aging peptide, Matrixyl3000 to stimulate collagen, and SPF 15 protection for sun defense against harmful UVA/UVB rays.  

Furthermore, this is a multi-tasking product that you can use on your face and safely on your eyes according to the company.  Saving money always appeals to me.  Therefore, it this cream could successful replace a few jars with one and help streamline my vanity, I was even more excited to see how well this cream worked.

Using mornings and nights, my sensitive skin reacted without any irritation problems and found the formula quite gentle.  Now that my normal dry skin changed due to warm weather into combination skin, the way this cream hydrates without bogging it down with heaviness or any greasy appearance was another plus.  

Although I haven't been using this silky, yellow-colored cream all that long, I did like the way my fine creases around my eyes were already looking somewhat smoother.  If this is any indication of what this product can do, I do look forward to further improvements over time.

I do recommend trying this product yourself and put it to your own test.  You can find Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex at ULTA for $69.95.

Natural Ways to Clear Acne

Acne can seem like a lifelong enemy. There are many pills, creams and cleansers that rid your skin of those awful bumps. But if you are looking for a simple routine that contains no chemicals and can be found in your kitchen, here is a six step natural routine to stay acne free.

1. In the morning, rinse your face with warm water and then massage your face with a ½ teaspoon of Manuka honey or raw honey into skin and rinse. Honey has great antibacterial properties. Manuka honey has extra antibacterial properties which makes it a great choice for your skin. 

2. In the mornings and evenings, spray your face with rose water toner. Rose water contains pH balancing properties and is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is also very refreshing and perfect for traveling.

3. If you need to use a moisturizer, use jojoba oil moisturizer. You can also add other essential oils to your homemade moisturizer such as lavender, tea tree, thyme, rosemary, chamomile or geranium. If you add an essential oil, use 10-12 drops for every 1 oz of jojoba oil. Tea tree essential oil is the best to use if you have a lot of acne.

4. Make your own spot treatments and scrubs using Manuka or raw honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix equal parts honey and cinnamon and add a pinch of ground nutmeg and mix into a paste that is neither too thick nor too runny. Store it in the fridge. When you use, put on trouble spots or your whole face twice a week to get rid of acne. Just don’t apply to any parts of your skin that might be broken or very irritated.

5. Use a clay mask once a week. You can buy clay from a health food or natural foods store. Let it sit until it dries and then rinse off. This helps get rid of any stubborn blackheads.

6. In the evening, remove makeup and dirt with oil. It might sound counteractive to cleanse with oil, since oil can contribute to acne, but it works. Try coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil and use 1 teaspoon on dry skin. Massage and then rinse with warm water.

Avoid these 4 common beauty faux pas

 

If using the wrong foundation color has you looking like a pasty mess, or tweezing your brows too much has you looking permanently surprised, you’re guilty of committing a beauty faux pas. Although these little beauty mishaps can be frustrating at the time, there are ways you can avoid them in the future.

Concealer/Foundation 

Whether you’ve picked the wrong color or simply used too much, making a mistake on your concealer/foundation application can affect your whole look. If you’re not sure what color you should choose, ask a professional at a cosmetic counter in the mall or where you purchase your makeup. Many women will need to buy two different shades — one for the winter and one for the summer. When it comes to application, less is often more. If you’ve purchased a quality product, it should offer good coverage. That means applying too much will make your skin look pasty. Cosmopolitan magazine recommends using a makeup brush and liquid foundation to get thin, even coverage that’s similar to airbrushing. Keep in mind that concealer is meant to conceal blemishes and other imperfections you want to hide. It’s not necessary to apply concealer all over your face.

Lip Liner 

When it comes to your mouth, there are few things more unsightly than a dark ring around your lips. Many women make the mistake of using a lip liner that’s darker than their lipstick to line their lips, when they should actually use one that’s lighter. You can also choose a lip liner that’s close to the natural color of your lips. Another way to avoid the dreaded dark ring is by applying lip liner all over your lips instead of just on the outline. Not only will the liner help your lipstick stay on longer, it will also keep it from smudging.

Eyeshadow 

If people are confusing your smokey eye for a black eye, you’re definitely doing something wrong. Instead of just slapping the darkest eye makeup you have on your eyes, make sure you use at least three shades of a similar hue. Although you can create a smokey eye with any colors, make sure you’re using a highlight/base color, a medium color, and a dark color. The most important part of creating a smokey eye is blending. For best results, use a fluffy blending brush and blend from the inside corner of the eye to the outside.

Tweezing 

 If you’ve ever butchered your eyebrows trying to create the perfect arch, you’re not alone. Fortunately, thicker, natural-shaped eyebrows are now in style. But just because you don’t have to do as much plucking, doesn’t mean you should abandon the tweezers completely. Before tweezing, use a brow pencil to create the desired shape of your brows. The brow pencil not only serves as a guide, it also gives you an idea of how your brow shape will fit your face. For best results, try tweezing your brows after showering, while using a regular mirror. Many women use a magnifying mirror to see better, but that type of mirror can be deceiving, making it appear that you have more hairs to pluck than you actually do. If you’ve made a mistake on your brows and plucked too many hairs, don’t panic. Use a brow pencil that matches your brow color to fill in any sparse areas. By the way, if tweezing your brows is just too painful to bare, dab a small amount of numbing gel on your brows before tweezing them.
