Tame the frizz

If you suffer from frizzy hair your towel could be to blame. The texture of a regular towel can cause a lot of friction turning your hair into one super frizzball! Try first squeezing the excess water from your hair and then blot your hair with an absorbent PAPER towel (yes, I said paper towel, the more absorbent the better). This will help to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free. Follow this with styling products that work best for your hair type.

Toothpaste for pimples?

Dear Krissy,
I get the occasional pimple on my face and I have heard that toothpaste will help to get rid of it. Is that true?

Marissa, Cape Coral

Dear Marissa,
This is a great question because a lot of people ask me the same thing. Just like everything you apply to your skin it will depend on your skin type and the type of toothpaste you are using. You could try a test area to make sure it does not irritate your skin and if it doesn't then give it a try! The results are mixed and maybe this might be your new miracle treatment. If it does not work you might want to mix up a baking soda paste and apply it to the area. This is very effective because it draws everything to the surface. Good Luck!

Vitamin C To Fight Aging

Vitamin C is a wonderful product to fight signs of aging because it boosts your natural collagen levels which fight premature aging. I recommend putting it under your moisturizer daily.

Say Goodbye to Green Hair!

Just because you're in Florida, it doesn't mean that chlorine needs to get the best of you...or your hair! For a great "at home" remedy, add some baking soda to your shampoo should your hair be tinted green after swimming in a pool.

Make Your Polish Last Longer

To help make your polish last longer, try using a base coat. I love "Bonder" by Orly. It dries quickly and is perfect for women on the go!
