Tretinoin progress

Wanted to report to you the progress of the application of the Tretinoin that I wrote about the other day.  This is the classic incident where you understand why doctor’s prescribe things and you don’t self medicate.
I over-did it! Only 2 applications and a red burn and scaling appeared. It wasn’t a pretty site. If [...]

Tretinoin

What makes your skin look more beautiful that Tretinoin?  NOTHING!  You may know this miracle product by it’s common brand names such as Aberela, Renova, Retin-A, Avita.
Tretinoin is an acid form of Vitamin A which is akin to an extreme form of exfoliation. It can make your skin burn, itch, scale so if you’re [...]

Kate Winslet

Other than congratulating Kate Winslet on her win on Sunday, Boost Skincare also nominates her for having the best skin of any actress today! Her creamy complexion is smooth, spot free, lush and just gorgeous! Since we also like Kate Blanchett’s skin, we’re starting to wonder about Australian actresses and their beautiful complexions. Nicole Kidman included. [...]

Some people think blonde hair is beautiful while others love chestnut tresses, some like a plumper figure (I said some!!!) [...]

Sarah Palin has terrific skin…

How fitting it is that in this election year, and as the election itself draws near, that we at Boost Skincare comment on the candidates skin. Let’s face it, though we shouldn’t vote based on a candidates looks, we’re certainly  not immune from well, “their looks”. They call her “Sexy Sarah” for many reasons, but [...]

Dayle Haddon at Talbot’s

Last night we had the pleasure of going to an event sponsored by the Junior League and Talbot’s on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. This was a benefit event which was well attended by dozens of women all strolling through the store looking at clothes while sipping champagne and having good nibbles.
Dayle Haddon, current face of [...]

Be gentle with your skin…almost always

You should be gentle with your skin, almost always. We say almost always because when you’re exfoliating, you’re not exactly being gentle with it, are you now!
Don’t tug at your skin ever, not even when you’re applying moisturizer. One or two times won’t do anything, but repeated tugging could have undesireable effects. If you massage [...]
