As an Esthetician, I specialize in skincare of the face - the first thing other people notice when they meet you. Want to know what gets noticed second?

You might have noticed that I'm on a rather organic/all-natural product kick right now. On my quest for some new personal care products that pass my standards, I discovered Aroma Artisan at Etsy, a company that sells exactly what I was looking for - cold process soaps and unique essential oils with custom fragrances.

Certainly, we have all heard about exfoliating, right? It's that process we should be incorporating into our skin care regime that keeps the skin on our faces, and our bodies, fresh and glowing. In my experience as a facialist, I found that most clients skipped this essential step.

Are You Dying To Be Beautiful? One of our goals at Women's Life Link is to help you understand the importance of obtaining and maintaining your health, and that through this process you will naturally begin to see a more beautiful you emerge. We have focused on some anti-aging topics, but this particular post is one that brings awareness of dangers that various cosmetics and skin care products pose to your body.

Ever wonder how you should be layering your skin care products? It is important as some products are water soluble and others contain oils and seal themselves into the skin. Some products penetrate the skin to a greater degree than others. Here's a quick run down on the best way to proceed:

Maybe you already have an idea about the secret, but for those of you who don't, it's pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result that this anti-aging secret does without shots, pain or invasive procedure.

Here I am again with more skin care info for you! Today, I want to talk about Elastin. And no, it's not the stuff that keeps your swimsuit snug on your hips!But it does have a similar property. Elastin has 'snap back' to it, like your swimsuit, or like a rubber band. Elastin keeps the skin tight. Elastin keeps the skin flexible. If there is enough elastin in your skin it will retain and return to it's shape after being pulled or stretched.

I have some news for you, ladies. The other day a friend showed me a new moisturizer she had just spent a fortune on. She was so happy about it and wanted my opinion....so I looked at the ingredient list. And, I am sorry to say, I had to tell her that this collagen boosting promise the product was claiming was completely false! The product contained nothing that would actually help her skin to regain lost collagen. She had merely purchased an expensive moisturizer with no real anti-aging benefits!

Ladies, here it is. I'm going to give you this information with a sincere hope that you believe it is real. Recently, I was told that there is technology coming as soon as early January 2010 that will change the anti-aging market as we know it. Part of it is already on the market through the 25-year-old company Nu Skin.

The search for the fountain of youth is never ending. Unfortunately, our flow of expendable cash for the quest is not...at least mine isn't. I do believe in quality, however. Skimping on skin care and anti-aging is not an option for me as I care a great deal about my body. Having said that, I don't mean that I will spend food money on products or services either. There is a balance that must come when investing in your health and beauty.

For the second part of our series on "no surgery face lifts," I want to share with you a completely natural way in which to get back a youthful, fit face. When I was little, my mother used do these facial exercises that made me laugh at her because of the funny expressions that she would make. I'd ask, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

Achieving good health is not as easily accomplished as we all would want. Though making true lifestyle change is the way to go to ensure lasting results, I've put together another list of instant health boosters to get you moving in the right direction. These are things that you can do that don't require a lot of thought or energy to be effective. Please pass this article on to other women who need it....who are we kidding? Everyone needs health!

When we look into the eyes of another, surely we are looking at the soul of the one standing directly in front of us – or are we? It is difficult for many to get past the physical to gaze any further. We have become a visual society, judging according to our cultural beliefs. We perceive the outside to be an extension of the inside, whether it is health or beauty.

With about a thousand different views (or more) on the way in which the six types of fats (good or bad) affect our bodies, most women don't truly understand how to balance their diets. Though it is important to know what each of the fats do and where they come from, I am going to focus primarily on Essential Fatty Acids for this post.
