Save Face This Winter 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I don't know about you, but the weather in British Columbia turned ugly recently. The temperature went down significantly and the wind and rain is taking a toll on my skin.I have found that my skin which tends to be on the oily side is now feeling tight and is flaking a bit from a lack of moisture. It's time to battle the cold and save your skin! Here are some tips to maintain healthy skin this winter...Drink up!You know that you are supposed to drink approx 8 glasses of water a day. In the summer it's quite easy to stick to this but in the winter it tends to be forgotten or felt not as necessary. Skin tends to get dehydrated in the winter due to lack of water. Water will help you maintain a healthy, glowing skin.Winter Facial Start the new season with a facial. Starting with healthier, cleaner skin allows your winter skin-care routine to be more effective. See your aesthetician to disucss the best facial for you.MoisturizeIts time for your to change your moisturizer. What you wear

These hydrating glosses come in 10 fun flavors such as Vanilla Sundae, Cherry on Top and Candy Cane.I went and tried the Sugar Plum Lip Topping last week and found it to be very smooth and creamy when I applied it.

Cellulite Be Gone! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Cellulite must be one of the worst things that can happen to a woman - don't you agree? It is hard to know who will get it as it is not caused just by fat but primarily from a lack of collagen in the skin. When the collagen weakens that is when you see the dimples - I know because I am one of thousands that have cellulite. I hate wearing shorts or a swimsuit as I have many, many dimples!There are many products on the market that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but how many are scientifically proven to work? DermaFirm has recently been launched and is proven to increase the production of collagen, creating smoother, toned skin on your legs. It has also been seen to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.How does it work? There are two key ingredients:VCPMg which is a form of Vitamin C and is a strong anti-oxidant and booster of collagen production.Retinyl Palmitate is a version of Vitamin A and helps to keep skin stay soft and plump. Retinyl palmitat Read more:Cellulite

Your Skin Through the Decades 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today I thought that I'd get a little more serious and look at skinchanges we have over the decades (as sad as it might be). It is important for us to look after our skin and if we start early enough we can slow down the signs of aging. I personally wish that I'd looked after my skin better when I was in my 20s. Had I known what I know now, I may have been able to prevent the crinkles I have today!Your 20sThe hormonal teen years are behind you, and oil glands, which provide skin and moisture and plumpness, are at their peak production. The skin cells contain strong collagen and elastin bonds, giving both firmness and resilience.Tips- Start good habits early by hydrating your skin daily with a moisturizer containing SPF of at least 15- Washing your face with hot water will strip it of natural oils. Be sure to use a mild gentle cleanser and follow up with a light moisturizer.- It's never too early to start using a night cream. Apply before going to bed and wake up to a beautifully mo Read more:Decades

Kelly is our woman "in focus". Maureen Kelly is the CEO & creator of tarte. Maureen started her company in 1999 from a one bedroom apartment in New York and now it is one of the most well known cosmetics companies in North America.When you were a little girl, what did you want to be?I've always had a love for makeup. When I was probably no older than 5 years old, I decided to "make up" my younger sister's Holly Hobby doll. I snuck some of my mom's makeup and turned Holly into a real tarte (haha). Years later when I was in junior high, I was still very much into makeup. I'd have makeovers with both of my sisters and my best friend.Where did the idea for tarte cosmetics come from?To be honest, I was really frustrated that makeup lines were so focused on makeup artists rather than real women like me. While I mi
