Affordable skin care. The shift from high price expensive skin care products to the same products with the same ingredients but at affordable prices. People are reading the ingredients and understanding what constitutes “natural” & “organic” on the label. Shopping at Nordstrom for $570 jar face cream the smart and savvy shopper is going online.

Skin care doesn’t only apply to women, men are savvy shoppers and Elicina Aftershave 100ml tube is available for $46.99, with free shipping worldwide.

Focus on the eyes. Nourish the eyelashes for bigger bolder lashes, and then apply mascara. False lashes are out! Focus on the beauty, color and the sparkle of the eyes. If you apply flawless make-up to the eyes but your eyes are red, bloodshot or yellow this defeats the purpose. A wonderful product French Blue Eye Drops at http://www.amazon.com/ is used by celebrities, models and is available to the public. Manufactured in France these eye drops have been around nearly 80 years. All natural and safe. The cost is approximately $15 a bottle which is less expensive than Collyre Blue Eye Drops at $35 for about 30 days.

Red lipstick is it. There has been misinformation circulating around lead in lipstick. Lipstick is safe. The best lipstick that stays on all day is Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor, for a bright red try Forever Scarlet or On-Going Flame. Available where Revlon products are sold.

Ditch the spa and do it yourself treatments. Light therapy has been proven medically for anti-aging, acne, mood enhancement and is used in hospitals for newborns with jaundice and healing wounds. Light therapy is affordable if you know what to buy. The Baby Quasar Power Pack sells for approximately $600 on http://www.amazon/ but looking at the unit it has a small radius with minimal led lights. The best value is Red & Blue LED Light Therapy, this repairs & softens your face and neck and has 225 super bright LEDS. This is sold on http://www.amazon.com/

All natural, all organic skin care products. The recommendations listed above are: Elicina snail cream, French Blue Eye Drops & Red & Blue LED Light Therapy are will enhance your skin naturally.

This one didn’t make it into the top 5 but it is trending higher. The use of skin primers. A skin primer or foundation primer is a barrier between your skin and your foundation. The benefits are it allows your foundation to look natural in all weather including hot weather, it prevents the absorption of foundation into your pores, it fills in and smoothes fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores and it refreshes the skin.
