Baby Quasar for Light Therapy at Home

Have you heard about light therapy? This must be fairly new, but all of a sudden I am seeing it advertised everywhere and I am intrigued. The Baby Quasar is a brand name and I also have heard of a product by Tanda.

In this video produced by the DermStore, I learned that light therapy is also called Photo Rejuvenation, and is painless, and is FDA appproved. It is used to treat sundamage, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.





I have a lot more questions I will investigate, before I would purchase one. But it is a treatment of interest!

Here are some links I found for more you tube videos, the Baby Quasar website, a review by a blogger at Mythbuster Beauty who has used the baby Quasar, another review on the Truth in Aging Blog, and a skin care site, http://www.facialskincaretreatmentguide.com/ where there are several brands of light therapy systems to compare.

Have you heard about light therapy at home? Have you tried it yet? Are you interested? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Solve Your Skin Care Problems!

Summer is so rough on your hair and skin. I am still working on the frizzy hair problem myself, but I have finally solved my skin care problem!

Get yourself a Clarisonic Skin Care Brush. I cannot recommend it enough! It is made by the same folks who make the Sonicare Toothbrush, so you know it is great right there!

It will help control and diminish any breakouts you are having with it's gentle deep cleansing action, and it softens and massages the skin. You'll notice your pores are getting smaller and your skin is more radiant, because it is cleaner than ever. Your serums and creams will work better as they can really sink into your clean skin. Your complexion will really brighten up with continued use.

Here is a link to a great article by Lynn Lopez about the Clarisonic Skin Care System.

Or you can click here to go directly to eBay and buy it brand new. Get it for yourself or for a gift, and get some savings too! Click here to Buy It Now on eBay!

Project Runway's Back with More Drama

Project Runway's back, and now on the Lifetime channel, starting August 20th at 10 pm! I've missed watching Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn challenging the contestants into designing and constucting fabulous outfits, showing them on the runway and then facing the judges where one designer is eliminated each week. You see all the drama in the sewing room and the bedrooms. The show culminates in the final competition, where the three most talented designers have their own showing during New York's Fashion Week to vie for the grand prize.

The evening starts at 8 pm with "Project Runway: All-Star Challenge," a two-hour contest pitting eight previous contestants in a competition to win $100,000. Chris March, Sweet P, and Korto Momolu will be there and are three that I look forward to seeing again.

Project Runway is like "Survivor" for those of us who don't like watching people get sweaty or dirty and made to eat disgusting things.
