I’ve always been incredibly pale, and I’ve never been able to retain a tan. I could lather on the taning lotion, bake in the sun for hours, burn and then peel and then turn straight back to pale like clockwork. For the longest time, tan was the fashion. These …

First of all, this cream is recommended specifically for face protection, so I …

For years I used to use really, really expensive creams and lotions bought from the department store. They were by and large all very good, but cost a huge amount of money. I kept seeing adverts and articles for Olay products with claims that they were just …

Neutrogena has finally jumped on the “naturals” wagon. It is actually interesting that they waited so long for this to happen as everyone else in the cosmetics industry has realized that labeling something as “natural” is a sure fire way to sell it in droves. Even knowing this, however, …

I purposely intended to buy a basic moisturizer without spf to freely allow me the flexibility of using it both day and night and for everything else, where moisturizing is primarily concerned. I find now that moisturizer formulas are so restricted to either spf-laden creams, which are of …
