Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil VS. Bio Oil??

I heard about the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil on the radio, and hearing their advertisings I am expecting to give it a try! This oil features many purposes, and both my boyfriend and I can use this!!
It is said to be a multi-purpose perfection product that can be used all over the body, including the face. This preservative free, lightweight formula contains an exclusive blend of key ingredients for scars, stretch marks, dry , damaged skin, uneven skin tone, aging skin and fine lines and wrinkles.

Rapid Absorption Systeme®
Scars
Stretch Marks
Dry, Damaged Skin
Uneven Skin Tone
Aging Skin
Dermatologically Tested

My boyfriend is always troubled about his acne scars. Even though it's just a minor one on his right face, it's hard to get rid of it. I've saw some pretty good reviews about this product saying it's good in diminishing scars and moisturizing dry skin. I have pretty dry skin, I hope it would done well on correcting my skin and get rid of the minor bumps on my leg! I heard people have gain results in diminishing their stretch marks, too!



It is a non-greasy and non-staining formula!




Bio Oil is now very famous, and we know it's also targets
Scars,
Strech Marks,
Uneven tone,
Aging skin and dehydrated skin.

Bio- Oil contains the breakthrough ingredient Pur-Cellin Oil™ which reduces the thickness of formulation and makes Bio-Oil® easily absorbed.

Vitamins A & E
Calendula, Lavender Rosemary chamomile oils
Face & Body
Non-greasy
Rapidly absorbed
Hypo- allergenic
Suitable for all skin types
No preservatives


Bio- Oil is recommended for:

Scars - Helps reduce the appearance of both new and old scars.

Stretch Marks - Formulated to help reduce the possibility of stretch marks forming during pregnancy, teenage growth spurts and rapid weight gain. Helps reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks.

Uneven Skin Tone - Helps improve the appearance of pigmentation marks and blemishes caused by hormonal fluctuations, skin lighteners or excessive sun exposure.

Aging Skin - Helps smooth and tone aging, sagging and wrinkled skin on both the face and body.

Dehydrated Skin - Helps protect against the drying effects of water and climate; lubricates and soothes dry or chapped skin.

Daily Skincare - Specialist intensive moisturizer.

Soothing after- sun treatment

Ideal as a bath oil.

With a 4 fl oz. Bio oil costs about $20, so it's more expensive comparing to Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil 5.1 fl oz. which only costs about $10. But both of them are pretty good products. Bio oil is more famous than Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil, so with good reviews you will also hear bad reviews from it. Well, different people have different bodies, and not everyone's bodies react the same to medicine or skincare products. You will just have to try it for yourself! Some people say Bio Oil works for their scars within weeks, but some take longer to achieve. Some say Bio Oil works great to moisturize their skin, but some say it's too greasy and causes them to have blackheads. My choice? I think I would try Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil first! Simply because I've heard very good reviews about it and not much bad reviews~

Johnson and Johnson Gentle Cleansing Wash *Recommended

Hair Loss Treatments & Products

My dad was experiencing hair loss during the recent few years. Yes, he's getting old, but it mostly comes from the stress and pressures. I've bought some hair loss products for him, and they do work! Now he's getting some hair back, and my mom is pretty happy about it, too. ^^

Hair loss doesn't only affect men; it can even affect women and children. Surgeries can cause you to have hair loss. And many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. Besides, some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine.

There many many kinds of pills and vitamins that can treat hair loss. You can find many old recipes online, too. I am not sure if they will work. but hair loss products do work for my dad. I heard Shisheido is launching hair loss treatment, too. I believe that having a healthy body and a good spirit are the most important in treating hair loss. So you should always eat and sleep right and be positive!

Got bumps on your skin? Try KP duty!

$36

What does KP means?
Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a common skin disorder, typified by "chicken skin" bumps on upper arms, thighs, torso, buttocks and occasionally the cheeks. Excess skin forms around individual hair follicles, creating the characteristic minute, rough, grater-like bumps.


KP Duty incorporates medically proven technology including ingredients for hydrated and healthy skin. Medically potent levels of Glycolic Acid blends with Urea, the dermatologist recommended humectant, to soften and smooth away the driest roughest skin.

Keratosis Pilaris affects almost 50% of the world's population and is particularly likely to affect anyone prone to eczema, asthma or hayfever.

It's never a chore to attain flawless, smooth skin. KP Duty effectively eliminates crustiness, flaking, and dry, rough chicken skin - no prep work or scrubbing required.

KP Duty is a concentrated treatment with:
Glycolic Acid - Powerful skin smoothing AHA
Sodium Glycolate - Glycolic Acid salt, buffered to prevent irritation
Green Tea - Botanical antioxidant powerhouse contains EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) to soothe and calm the skin
Urea - Dermatologist recommended humectant
Sodium Hyaluronic - Potent hydrating agent
Dimethicone - Barrier/occlusive agent - reduces moisture evaporation

I used to have alot of bumps on my arms, but they slowly disappear as I grow older. I still have some on my thigh, they do annoy me sometimes. The bumps on my legs have disappeared before when I was using Skirt 2B. Since my legs started to slim down, I felt it's unnecessary to use it anymore. I guess for this product, if you're not having a severe KP, you can give it a try.

My original look

Volumize your hair! Say goodbye to flat hair!

I have friends that are troubling about their flat hair, and they're not sure what products they should use. I also have a friend that used to have flat hair, but since she has changed to another shampoo brand, her hair texture totally changed. Now even after three days not washing her hair, her hair still has volumes. I am the kind of person that born to have hair volume; maybe it's because my hair is quite dry. People who's hair are oily tend to have flat hair because oil will weigh hair down.

These are some of the products that are good for volumizing your hair


Kerastase Volumorphose, an in-salon hair treatment ($35; visit kerastase-usa.com for salon locations).
THE PROMISE: Instant body and thickness that lasts a few days and prolongs a professional blowout.
THE EXPERT SAYS: "This could potentially be very effective," says chemist Jim Hammer. "It has a molecule that bonds to the hair's surface, and when moisture is applied--whammo! The molecules link to form a three-dimensional polymer, which has thickening effects and promotes volume."
WE SAY: Our hair definitely had more oomph, and the blowout lasted an extra day.
Fr: Instyle


This new shampoo from Kérastase Paris coats the hair to create air pockets and instant volume without weighing it down.


Hair has added strength and substance, with flexible hold and blow-dry protection. Hair is left with full, long-lasting volume. Style is protected with an anti-static effect. $34
