Pigmentation and the Reality

Pigmentation and the Reality

One of the many skin issues we deal with as we age is dreadful pigmentation. As men and women, it is the main route of aging and our number one biggest complaint.

As an Aesthetician and skin clinic owner of Virago Skin & Body Studio’s for the past 21 years, I have gone through extensive education and schooling to understand the knowledge behind the spots that start to drown out our youth.

What happens when you sleep in your makeup?

What happens when you sleep in your makeup?

You do not necessarily need a degree in dermatology to understand that sleeping with your makeup is a horrible idea. It’s not good for your skin and nor is it good for your sheets, so I think that you need to rethink this.

Does size really Matter, Pore Talk?

Does size really Matter, Pore Talk?

There’s nothing richer than clean, healthy pores — and like other elements of appearance, it’s common for people to stress over their size. The smaller the pores, the clearer your skin appears.

Clarisonic: Great Exfoliation or Skin Damage?

Let me start by saying that I normally don’t do reviews of other skin care products or device’s It is against me bashing any products. I generally facebook to share knowledge and a place to share my expert skin tips and advice that I’ve learned from being an esthetician for 20 years, but I leave product reviews for all of the great beauty and skin bloggers out there.
