Believe it or not, you can have very oily skin but still have dehydrated skin.  Similarly, if you have a lot of acne or even extremely oily skin, your skin actually can improve with the application of oils. It is incorrect to think that because your skin is oily that you need to avoid oils […]

When I first opened shop and began to use social media to advertise my services, I recall someone replying to an ad that my services were “too rich for my blood.” Now, it must be understood that every negative comment or reaction hurts a businessperson, whether new or seasoned.

It stands to reason that the very same botanicals used in the best skin care, should also taken internally. This is true for many ingredients….but not all.

Well most people believe that if you get a permanent makeup treatment, as in a cosmetic tattoo, you get the permanent brows, permanent eyeliner or permanent lip colour of your dreams and you wake up and go.

If you research 10 permanent makeup artist sites, probably five will term what they do as permanent makeup and the other five will term it semi-permanent makeup.
