Coppertone Calling On Brooke Shields To Promote NutraShield

We like actress Brooke Shields. We find her glamorous and healthy, and looking great at almost 44. She is the happy mom to two little girls. And in the crazy world of Hollywood, Brooke Shields is a refreshing breath of air.

Brooke comes across as a sincere human being. And even sun care giant, Coppertone, decided that Brooke Shields would bring her own brand of integrity to the company's new NutraShield, a sunscreen containing antioxidants that promote natural skin repair.

Brooke Shields told People magazine at an LA launch for Coppertone's NutraShield, that she recently experienced a skin cancer wake-up call.

"I had a spot on my face. The doctor scraped it, and it turned out to be precancerous," Brooke Shields tells People. "I was scared."

Like many of us, Brooke took in the rays as a youth, slathering on the stuff we all used to baste ourselves with.

"Baby oil and tinfoil and lemon in your hair," she says "All my girlfriends and I would go up on the roof in New York; we didn't have to be at the beach."

And she told People, that she stopped actively tanning 10 years ago. And now she puts on the sunscreen when she heads outdoors, and is especially concerned for her two fair-skinned daughters.

That is why Brooke Shields is proud to be the face of Coppertone's new NutraShield.

The line includes an SPF 70+ Faces lotion ($10.99), as well as SPF70+ and SPF 30 lotions for the body. The product line is available online and at mass retailers across the country.

What's so great about this sunscreen?

Patricia Agin at the Coppertone Solar Research Center explains:

"Our legacy of continuous innovation led to the development of COPPERTONE NutraShield and its Dual Defense technology, providing women an affordable skin-care option that delivers a high level of sun protection as well as antioxidants to help nourish skin."

Sacha Cosmetics Perfect For Yellow Based Complexions

Are you wearing the perfect foundation shade for your skin tone?

We will be honest here. Unless you have a professional makeup artist at your side, picking the right foundation shade is very difficult. And if you have a yellow-based complexion, it's even tougher, because there aren't too many yellow-based foundations being offered these days.

Thank goodness for Sacha Cosmetics. The company has been chosen in the past, as the 'official cosmetics for the Miss Universe and Miss USA Pageants'. And those beautiful participants always look so gorgeous, their skin and makeup flawless.

So what does yellow-based foundation have to do with a woman's makeup? Plenty, if you realize that the majority of us do have yellow in our complexions. According to the Sacha Cosmetics website:

"Most Caucasian and all Asian, African and Latin women do have yellow skin undertones."



And the website offers a wide variety of makeup, including lip glosses and eye shadows. The Sacha Cosmetics people also give you valuable advice when it comes to choosing the perfect foundation:

"Apply foundation evenly along the jaw line and blend. The foundation should perfectly match the color of your neck without any silica residue. Testing our Sacha foundation on the back of the palm is also a quick substitute, though not as accurate as the jaw line test!"

Should every woman wear foundation?

Most makeup artists say, yes, even if your skin is almost flawless. First of all, foundation covers imperfections and also adds a bit of warmth to your complexion. And it also provides protection from the strong rays of the sun.

But you don't have to pile gobs of makeup on. There is a right foundation for all types of skin--oily, dry, mature, young, large pores, blemishes, scars, rosacea, etc:

"If you have fairly flawless skin, go right ahead and wear our liquid foundation. If you have normal to dry skin and require extra coverage, our Cream Foundation will be perfect for you. If you have normal to oily skin, then we recommend our Dual Activ Powder Foundation. If you have severely blemished skin, then we recommend our Kamaflage Foundation."

How To Quickly Tighten Sagging Neck With 3-Step Routine

The neck is a delicate area of skin. It receives its share of sun damage through the years. And it can show quite a bit of aging in the way of loose skin, neck creases, and general sagging.

The neck needs lots of tender loving care, and many of us ignore this region to concentrate on our faces. And that is where we lose the ball. In other words, we should all develop a neck skin care routine when we are young. Yes, in your 20s would be a good time to begin. And even if you are in your 70s, it is never too late to stop further damage from the sun, or just general aging.

So we are suggesting a simple and effective 3-step routine for the neck. Just 3 products, used daily, can help tighten this beautiful area of your body. And the experts at SkinBiology.com can help you get there.

Dr. Loren Pickart, a skin pioneer and biochemist, has developed these wonderful beauty products that are available at his website, http://www.skinbiology.com/. And he assures you, that you can smooth and tighten your neck.

1. Super GHK Copper Cream or Copper Peptide Serum ($33.95).

Apply a light amount to the neck skin in the morning.

2. Emu Oil S ($29.95).
Apply a thin layer on top of the copper peptides for moisture and a tightening effect

3. Exfol Cream ($14.95)

Apply the exfoliator at night.

As Dr. Pickart explains at his website, this small 3-step routine:

"Smooth and tighten neck skin while diminishing creases with the use of strong skin remodeling copper peptide products, such as CP Serum, TriReduction Cream, or Protect & Restore BND Cream.

It is also important to follow up with the consistent use of a reasonably strong hydroxy acid, such as Exfol Cream or LacSal Cream, for exfoliation.

Copper peptides help trigger the signal for repair in the skin which makes our products especially successful for reducing hyperpigmented neck lines or neck creases, tightening sagging neck skin, and improving overall elasticity in this very important, delicate skin area. Those with sensitive skin should always start off with Super GHK-Copper Cream first."
