The good news is 40 is the new 20 and there is no time like the present to take that yoga class you have been wanting to try (we just loooove Bikram), going on that hike with your best pal, changing your hair color or hair style and yes ladies wearing a sexy, smoky eye just because you can.

Tips for Healthy Skin

Making the transition from summer to fall is always a little tricky when it comes to your skin. It is common for your face to feel especially dry as the weather begins to change. The best way to make the transition from summer skin to fall is to start by exfoliating the areas on your face that are the most dry. I like to use a soft cloth and gently rub in a circular motion to remove any dead or dry skin.

St Ives Elements Olive Scrub is perfect for this. It gently exfoliates leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturized. It is available at most drugstores along with a full line of skin care products.

Depending on how dry your skin is during the day you can go a little heavier when choosing a moisturizer. I prefer something thick that my skin can absorb and keep it looking dewy and fresh all day. Loreal has a fantastic line of skin care products that won’t break your bank account. They have more than one line to choose from and cater to women of any age who are as obsessed with their skin as I am.

Something New From Clarins

Instant Face Lift in A Tube


Clarins New Extra-Firming Tightening Lift Botanical Serum is a little pricey but a little goes along way. You will notice an instant firming feeling the first time you use and as you continue to use it will help facial features to look firmer and younger. Oat kernel sugars firm skin without pulling and making features look frozen, while Hibiscus provides skin-smoothing benefits.

We stopped by a Clarins counter to get a sample and to try it while we were shopping. Our skin felt so smooth and we noticed a tightening feeling that made our cheekbones look more prominent

The serum can be applied to the face and neck morning and night after cleansing and before your moisturizer.

You can purchase the entire Clarins line at their Official USA Site or click here to visit.
