We all know how hard it can be to choose that perfect foundation that suits your skin type and covers any blemishes or problems areas, whilst still being invisible to the eye.

I know all the rules about shopping with no foundation on so you can try a foundation on your jawline, testing it out in natural day light and of course not trying the foundation on your wrist or hand. However when ever I go shopping I seem to forget all the ideas and resort to testing the new foundation on the back of my hand!

This is probably the reason for my many foundation disasters including foundations too dark for your skin tone giving a lovely tide mark foundations that leave your skin looking oiler than when you started and worst of all the extra matte foundation that leaves you looking like you have covered your face in talcum powder.

I have just discovered Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse which of course I bought after trying it on the back of my hand! However much to my surprise when I got it home I found that it was indeed the perfect match for my skin tone.  The foundation feels very light on your skin and blends easily to give perfect coverage for those blemish prone areas. I found the formulation worked to control those oilier t-zone areas without caking on the drier patches. (more…)

Clinique Laboratories has launched a new anti-aging skin care cream. This natural moisturizer, called New Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturizer, helps to reduce negative effects of stress on the skin.

As Clinique’s researches show, there are two types of stresses on the skin – external and internal. As for external stresses, they are the usual suspects, like sun, air pollution, cold. These conditions may of course be reasons for skin’s premature aging. But it seems that internal stresses have the same negative effects on the skin. According to Clinique’s studies, when the body is under stress, it produces stress hormones, which cause a loss of the immune function of the skin, so that it can rapidly acquire visible signs of aging.

The new moisturizer, made with natural products, will reestablish your skin’s beauty. As 24-7 press release reports, it uses new patent skin care technology to defend the skin against emotional and psychological stress. This is Red Microalgea Extract, a sea extract which neutralizes stress’ effects: wrinkles, lines, unbalanced tone.

The New Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturizer also contains a sun protection formula and antioxidants against external aggressors such as pollution, cold etc. In addition to this, with Clinique’s unique Immune Protection Formula, your skin beauty won’t be threatened by a premature aging. With three formulas, the new anti-aging cream is conceived for every type of skin.
