May 2009: Real Beauty 101/NBC – Innovation in Skin Care and Beauty

Beauty Buzz with Jennifer Walsh

Great video featuring Jennifer Walsh, noted beauty expert, speaking about some of the hottest new skin care products.  Featured products include:

Best of Skintentions by Bliss – super vitamin enriched moisturizer
Freeze and Go by Freeze 24/7 – Botox-like topical moisturizer for face
Brazilian Peel – First medical strength glycolic peel (30%) available OTC
Morpho Slim by Lierac – topical slimming solution

The skinny: Topical solutions have temporary effects so if you choose to purchase these products, expect to keep using them to achieve and maintain desired results. But I have to say that I am VERY curious about the Brazilian peel.  It appears to contain a neutralizer that “shuts it off” so that home users will not get burned.  However, users should expect the same recovery conditions associated with glycolic peels such as the potential for redness, flakiness/shedding of skin, and increased sensitivity until skin has fully healed.  Also, if you choose to use this product, remember to slather on the sunscreen!!  As is the case with all peels, your skin will especially susceptible and vulnerable to penetration of UVA/UVB rays which will increase chances of sun damage.
