How to Choose the Perfect Fragrance
(NewsUSA) - From finding a scent, choosing between a perfume or an eau de toilette, to learning whether you should layer, there are many choices to consider when shopping for a fragrance.
But choosing a signature scent doesn't have to be difficult. Jan Moran, the creator of the Sephora Fragrance Finder by Scentsa, a touch-screen technology that helps shoppers find and learn about perfume, offers the following tips:
- Know your scents. Scents are typically grouped into five categories -- floral, fresh, spicy and warm, woody and earthy, and brisk aromatics. Different scent groups appeal to different personalities.
For example, fresh scents, which include citrus, aquatic and fruit aromas, speak to a sunny personality, while woody and earthy fragrances can seem soothing and calm. Sephora's Scentsa offers a "Discover Your Signature Scent Style Quiz," which can help you determine what scents will best appeal to you.
- Try fragrance wardrobing. Once you know what scents you like, change your perfume for different occasions, moods and climates. Choose rich scents during the winter and lighter fragrances for summer. Relax with vanilla and lavender, energize with rose and tuberose.
- Choose a fragrance strength. Perfume is the most intense form of fragrance, followed by eau de parfum, eau de toilette and eau de cologne. Intensity, however, does not mean that the scent will be bold and strong, only that it will last longer on your skin.
- Apply fragrance at your pulse points. Your pulse points are behind your ears, at your throat and the nape of the neck, in the décolletage (collar), on your wrists, in the crook of your elbow, behind your knees and on your ankles. Spray fragrance for a more even application.
- Store your fragrance correctly. For maximum shelf life, store fragrances in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured. Keep fragrances away from direct sunlight.

Tips for Healthy, Youthful Skin
(NewsUSA) - With such a cluttered skin care market, it's pretty tough to figure out what would work best to keep your skin healthy and looking youthful. When it comes to skin, you really are as unique as a snowflake. No two people produce the same amount of oil, respond to heat in the same way or age identically
But some advice applies to everyone. Here are some skincare tips to keep you glowing, no matter your age or skin type:
- Stay hydrated. Scientists debunked the old recommendation to drink eight glass of water a day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't hydrate. Water aids every bodily system. It moisturizes your skin from the inside out, helping to flush away toxins and maintain a youthful appearance.
Try switching out alcoholic drinks, coffee and soda for water. If you find water hard to drink, take yours warm with lemon or lime juice. Green tea - the kind you make from a tea bag - is another good choice, because it hydrates skin while also providing antioxidants, compounds known to help prevent cell damage.
- Eat a healthy diet. A diet heavy on cooked and raw plant-based foods - think beans, tofu, fruits and vegetables - can help you manage your weight and enjoy clearer skin. Healthy oils, like those found in olive oil, seeds, nuts and avocados, can also help protect skin. But avoid full-fat dairy products and excess meat consumption, which can cause wrinkles, according to the Mayo Clinic.
- Adopt a healthy skin-care routine. Wash your face twice daily, and be sure to moisturize. Look for products that can help your skin repair itself. For example, Re-Juv by Caci's line of Anti-Wrinkle Essentials covers up wrinkles, while also applying youth-rejuvenating ingredients to the skin.
- Exercise. Walking around your neighborhood might not give you washboard abs, but exercise can benefit your skin. Walking, running, yoga, sports - whatever your activity of choice, it can help improve circulation to your skin, boosting elasticity and skin tone.

Extra Steps to Keep Your Skin Healthy This Winter
(NewsUSA) - Winter weather can rob your complexion of its healthy glow. Between the wind outside and the heat indoors, keeping skin in tip-top shape proves to be a seasonal challenge.
But winter doesn't have to mean dull skin and chapped lips. Here are some tips for women hoping to keep their skin looking and feeling healthy well into the spring.
- Use a humidifier. Heating your home means dry air, which can cause itchy or cracked skin. Humidifiers put moisture back into the air. Invest in several small humidifiers, and place them throughout your house or in your office.
- Drink water. You might not be sweating as much as you did in August, but that doesn't mean you can hydrate on hot cocoa alone. Water flushes away toxins and keeps skin cells elastic. If you need something warm, consider herbal teas or hot water with a squeeze of lemon.
- Boost your skin care routine. Women often wish they didn't "have" to wear make-up, so why not take the winter months to invest extra time in your skin?
Consider exfoliating your skin once or twice weekly with a scrub to help remove dead skin cells and help restore a fresher appearance.
After exfoliating, but before applying moisturizer, use a serum such as the Aveeno Positively Radiant Triple Boosting Serum to help brighten and even your skin tone. The serum contains the highest level of total soy complex to help visibly diminish skin discoloration and sun spots, as well as vitamins and anti-oxidants that can help prevent signs of aging.
- Use sunscreen. The sun can still cause skin damage, even with temperatures below freezing. Snow can reflect rays, giving off a double-dose of harmful exposure. Apply SPF 15 or higher to your face and any other exposed areas before stepping outside. The sunscreen will help protect skin from the sun's damaging rays and provide a moisturizing barrier between the wind and your skin.

Winterization Tips for Healthy Skin
(NewsUSA) - Winter's harsh winds and dry indoor heat can leave cheeks looking less than rosy.
But winter doesn't have to mean looking pallid and dull until spring. "You can take steps to keep your skin clear and healthy through the winter," says Dr. David Colbert, founder and head physician of NY Dermatology Group. "For example, moisturizing daily with a thick lotion, like one made from shea or white petrolatum, can help restore and protect dehydrated skin."
Some of Colbert's suggestions challenge conventional wisdom. Believe it or not, you don't need to wash your torso, arms and legs every day. In fact, soap can strip your skin of natural moisture.
"Wash your face, hands and feet with soap no more than once daily," said Colbert. "Rinse the rest of your body with warm, not hot, water -; sweat dissolves in water, so you don't need soap to come clean."
Harsh winter weather coupled with cold and flu season can trigger the flaring of chronic skin conditions. People who are prone to cold sores might see flare-ups during the winter months, so they should keep an over-the-counter product on-hand to relieve pain.

Colbert recommends his patients use a moisturizing product like Nexcare Cold Sore Treatment to relieve drying and cracking associated with outbreaks. This topical treatment combines Microvex, a non-greasy emollient derived from tropical oils, with benzocaine and allantoin for fast pain relief and lip protection.
Colbert also recommends that his patients reduce their outdoor exposure. "If you must go outdoors, use scarves, hats, masks and mittens or gloves to limit skin exposure," he adds. "For extra protection, apply a petroleum-based product to your lips. Using a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays also helps prevent skin damage."
Indoors, Americans should try running a humidifier when moisture levels in their homes drop below 60 percent. Humidifiers make rooms feel warmer than heat alone and prevent skin from drying out.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help skin stay youthful. People might not hydrate as readily in the winter months, but bodies need water to flush away toxins and stay moisturized. Drinking herbal tea or other hot fluids can fulfill daily water requirements.

Summer Skin Care: Avoiding Burns and Bites
(NewsUSA) - After being cooped up all winter with the cold and all spring with the rain, we look forward to those long, lazy, sun-filled summer days. But if you are not prepared to protect yourself from sunburn and insect bites, you may find the summer season something to avoid rather than enjoy.
Sunlight generates ultraviolet radiation that can lead to cancer and damage to the eyes. In fact, in 2002 the National Institutes of Health added UV radiation to the list of identified carcinogens in America. People who work outdoors, babies, senior citizens and those with fair skin and light-colored eyes are at higher risk for skin cancer.
Another summertime danger is insect bites. Mosquitoes, ants, spiders, bees and fleas are particularly obnoxious - and they are everywhere. Their bites can cause symptoms ranging from swelling, pain and itchiness to life-threatening allergic reactions.
To protect yourself from these dangers, follow the ABCs of summer skin care:
* Avoid the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is at its brightest. Take your daily walk in the morning or late afternoon. Many insects breed in water, so stay away from stagnant pools and soggy grass.
* Block sunlight, with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Apply sunblock half an hour before going out and reapply every couple of hours.
* Cover up. Wear loose-fitting, tightly woven clothes that reach your wrists and ankles; UV-protected sunglasses; and hats with 4-inch brims to cover eyes, ears, scalp and neck. Insects are attracted to bright colors and strong perfumes, so dress neutrally and go easy on scents.
* Defend yourself. Use a spray to repel bugs. One to try is Hamba Suka Natural Insect Repellent, from the Molo Africa line of products, an all-natural spray made with high-quality essential oils. This is a 100 percent natural product that repels insects such as ants, fleas, mosquitoes and flies. The spray contains no poisons or harmful chemicals.
