Sunscreen Q & A with Dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz from NYC {Beauty Interview}


Sunscreen.jpg

I had questions to put to Dr. Neal Schultz after I viewed his video on sunscreen on DermTV.com (check out episode #11 on How to Apply Sunscreen). Here are his answers.


  • Can adults use sunscreens for kids? (Kiehl's has a new one coming out) and why or why not? Of course yes....separation for adults and kids is marketing and has no medical basis.
  • Should kids use sunscreen when they live in the city in the spring and summer?    Yes, all year round.  The time to imprint daily sunscreen use is in children.  Then, as adults they are already optimally protecting themselves.  Everyone needs sunscreen every day...rain or shine...

La-tresse-Hair-brockhurst.jpg
La Tresse by Gerald Leslie Brockhurst, 1926


Someone was asking me what kind of tips one could use at home to get the kind of great glamorous hair that result from a hair-salon session. I promised that person to ask a hair expert to come share some insights on the blog. But then I remembered a really easy and effective tip that I actually tend to forget using for my own benefit. That's just for the shiny part of glamorous hair salon...

Eat Your Kiwi {Beauty Tip of the Day} {Eat for Beauty}

Kiwi-2.jpg
Did you know that the best way to integrate vitamin C into your beauty routine is by eating it and in kiwis in particular!

Topical application of C and fruit acids on skin pales in comparison with the advantages of just eating one kiwi a day, a fruit known for its anti-wrinkling properties thanks also to its content in vitamin E.

Eat it well ripened for maximum anti-oxydant benefits.

Gordon Brown's Glam Routine Revealed + Extra Grooming Tips {Beauty in the News}


Gordon-Brown-Flash.jpgFor queen and country.

An assistant of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown inadvertently left, amongst other things, a document describing Brown's embellishing routine in a taxi cab. The press now also want to help with his beauty needs and are adding a few more tips. See what he uses and what are recommended further.

"The make-up guide read:

  1. 'Transparent Brush. Foam all over.'
    This is believed to be an illuminating foam to make the Prime Minister's skin glow.
  2. 'Small pot under eyes, dimple, creases, blend in.'
    This is thought to refer to concealer to remove the appearance of bags and dark shadows.
  3. 'Clinique. Super balanced make-up. All over again, like painting a wall, and ears. Shut eyes over lids then with make-up pad smooth over liquid.'
    This is foundation designed to give Mr Brown an even skin tone and youthful appearance.
  4. 'Powder (dark brush) terracotta Guerlain, all over.'
    This is used to give a tanned and healthy look using a bronzer."
Sarah Vine critiques the PM's beauty bag and suggests better products for him here.
