AlphaDerma CE - Product Review

AlphaDerma CE Product Test and Review

Advertised as "Facelift in a jar" or "Botox without needles".

The manufacture Janson Beckett states:

• Quickly Removes Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles
  
• Repairs & Prevents Damaged Skin
  
• Immediately Tightens & Firms Aged Skin
  
• Achieve Visible Results After Just One Treatment

We have been testing this product for the past 3 months, using once daily. We also stopped using for a couple of weeks to see if we noticed a difference.

Results:
Our testers were women between the ages of 35-40 with the early signs of aging, fine lines around eyes and forehead, and some sun damage.

All testers noted a "noticeable difference" within just a few days of using this product. The appearance of fine lines was reduced by all testers. When the product was stopped for a period of a week or more, the fine lines etc. returned. When the product was used regularly again, results were seen within a few days of use.

The manufacture also claims that this is a great stretchmarks eraser. We did not test for this purpose.

Our recommendation: This one is a keeper! It actually does what it says and makes a difference very quickly.

Product Review-Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster

Finding a great facial sunscreen that works with moisturizer and make-up can be a challenge. From the greasy, to the sticky, to the white and sticky!

We have found your dream sunscreen!

Dermalogica-Solar Defense Booster or Super Sensitive Faceblock

Both are very similar, very light, meant to be used alone or mixed with daily moisturizer or fo undation. The Super Sensitive Sunscreen is chemical free and made from Mineral UV Blockers.

We tested both and found similar results. Tested on sensitive skin, either worked equally well for our testers. We also mixed both with moisturizer and foundation and used alone under moisturizer. All worked equally well.

Why is this product so special? It is immediately absorbed into your skin, so there is no hint of it at all! No color, not sticky and no greasy. A dream come true.

This product is a daily requirement for anyone looking to protect their skin, male or female. It is permanently in our bag!

Has Burke Williams Spa Fallen From Grace?

Has anyone else noticed the changed in Burke Williams Spa's over the recent few years??

Prices keep going up, up, up and quality is down, down, down. For many of us Burke Williams was the quintessential spa experience and was a great way to have a spa getaway. For the past year or so just booking an appointment has been more than I can handle.

I am someone who is very busy, and when I want to go to in for a treat do not want to book 2 weeks in advance! To me, the point of the giant "corporate" spa like Burke was that they were easy to get into and reasonably priced. I have been trying to book something called a "Feet Treat" for over A YEAR!!!! The Sherman Oaks location tells me they have one person who does this treatment and it is always 3-4 weeks booked out.

Seems to me that this treatment is a favorite so maybe they should train more than one person to do it??

This treatment is not alone, I have noticed that the days of calling up for an appointment today (no matter what time) are gone. Maybe I got spoiled? I have even called before and said I will take anything at anytime today or tomorrow, they tell me sorry booked.

This is what I would expect from a small day spa but not Burke. The prices too have gotten a bit absurd, I keep getting gift certificates for the spa from friends so this is why I even deal with this aggravation.

I have started to search out smaller independent spa's and have had a much better experience and with much better prices. I can get several treatments at some of this blogs fav's for what Burke charges for one.

Want a self tanner that actually works??

We have tried self tanner after tanner and most are a nightmare to deal with and give you streaky orange results.

Well give Aveeno Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion a try! This self tanner is sold mostly at drug stores like CVS, Target, Walgreens and Longs Drugs. What makes it so great is that the tanner and the moisturizing lotion are in two separate chambers. You adjust the amount of each chamber by turning the top of the dispenser.

This is great, because no matter what your skin tone, you can get a natural looking color. You can start light and just put it on in the morning before you get dressed and it builds on yesterdays color.

We use this as our daily moisturizing lotion and get the tan a a bonus. It dries super fast and gives the best color we have seen. Also, you don't need to do all that hardcore exfoliating with this one. Just a little scrub with a body puff and rub in the lotion evenly and you are ready to go. We do it straight from the shower.

If you are new to self tanners do remember to spread the lotion evenly and just make sure it is all absorbed so you don't have thicker patches than others, you can still get the darker spots if you don't apply it evenly.

Always remember to wash your hands too, with soap! This avoids those lovely tanned palms!
Love,
Your L.A. Hotties
