Often the best intentions of skincare companies are lost because a great number of consumers have sensitive skin. This can range from simple allergies to types of fragrances, lotions or ingredients to Rosacea.  Rosacea (rose-AY-sha) is a chronic (long-term) skin disease that causes redness and swelling, primarily on the face. Despite having a simple or more aggressive skin care issue, all skin types can benefit from skincare. 

How do I find a good skincare product that gives me the benefits of anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, elasticity, moisturizers, and a healthy glow, without the harmful reactions?  Well, Dermatologists do recommend even in the case of Rosacea skincare.  One of the key areas to research is; does the product undergo scientific research and development to cover all skin types?  Does the product have endorsements from Skincare Foundation, is your product endorsed by Dermatologists?  Does your product undergo extensive testing including compatibility to the latest skin treatment program; IPL treatments ? Has your product received patents on the formulas used? Does your product have the Good Housekeeping seal of approval?

Mary Kay^® TimeWise^® Miracle Set^TM  is safe and effective for people with super-sensitive skin and/or rosacea.  Stick to the facts and buy the products  that work!

Where is the best place to be during the summer?  Outside!  But we all know the risks of being outdoors during summertime.  Dehydration, sunburn, mosquitoes, and summer laziness can set in.  Fitnessmagazine.com, tackled some of the summer myths which are worth repeating here. 

Myth:  Self Tanners helps shield my skin from the sun.

Truth:  While have a bronze glow to your skin is achievable via many products, for the “safest” tan, try Mary Kay Subtle Tanning lotion.  This lightweight, nongreasy formula glides on evenly for a gradual bronze glow that’s natural enough to look real. It does not contain sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn.

Myth:  I shouldn’t put sunscreen too close to my eyes.

Truth:  According to Dr. Jordana Gilman, a dermatologist in New York, 5% – 10% of skin cancers appear on the eyelids.  If the thought of putting sunscreen on the eyelids makes your eyes water, try specially formulated products for sensitive skin and after the sun, treat your damaged skin with a refreshing product like; Mary Kay Replenishing Gel .

According to Mary Kays Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Beth Lange ;

• Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen like Mary Kay SPF 30 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays
• A good rule of thumb:  Adults should use about one ounce of sunscreen to liberally coat all exposed areas and reapply at least every two hours.
• Be wary of very high SPF’s.

Think the sun is good or bad for you.  Well you might be surprised to learn that the sun is good for you.  It helps produce much needed Vitamin D.  With the right amount of Vitamin D, studies have shown you can help lower your chances of getting cancer and heart disease by 25%.  According to Dr. Michael F. Roison, if you are going to be in the sun for longer than 15 minutes or at peak time during the day, you might want to protect your skin with an SPF25 .  Look for zinc and oxybenzoneas the main ingredients.  Also don’t forget your Vitamin D; at least 1000 iu a day.
