Rita Hazan: 10 Rules for Being a Redhead

Red hair Debra Messing Marcia Cross

1. Never pick a color that looks or sounds fake, like “Cherry Bomb.” Pick colors that are soft and natural.

2. Make sure you change your makeup; going red means making the necessary adjustments to your makeup!

3. As a redhead, it is also important to wear clothes that compliment your hair color. Fiery hair requires less details on clothing, your already making a bold statement with that color!

4. In the Fall & Winter, I suggest taking your red to a deeper, richer shade.

5. In the Spring & Summer go lighter, more of a golden coppery color.

6. Don’t put a lot of highlights, I recommend none at all or very few. When they start to wash out of red hair, they tend to look funny and not as flattering.

7. Get glosses to prolong your color; red fades quickly.

8. Stay away from color depositing shampoos as they change your color overtime.

9. Don’t forget - Redheads are sexy, so get a haircut that compliments the color. I don’t like long, straight red hair - add some body or curls to it!

10. Make sure that the tone of your hair matches your skin and eye color, and work it! Redheads are sassy and have sex appeal – they’re noticed as soon as they step into a room!

xx, Rita Hazan

How to Look Fresh-Faced and Fabulous

Ashely Olsen is incredibly inspiring to me. While she definitely takes risks in the fashion arena, her beauty look tends to more or less remain the same. I ran across this photo of her at the 2006 Independent Spirit Awards that sums up her preferred look perfectly:

Ashley Olsen Fresh-Faced

Her smooth glistening skin + lush upper lashes = PERFECTION.

Here’s everything you need to recreate her utterly flawless look:

foundation-mascara.jpg

For a seamlessly even, glowing complexion, brush-on L’Oreal Bare Naturale General Mineral Foundation. It’ll feel incredibly light on your skin, plus it’s infused with SPF & nurturing vitamins. BONUS: It’s perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin since it won’t clog your pores. Can’t beat that.

For come-hither eyes, long lush lashes are key. Create standout eyes with Maybelline’s Define-a-Lash Volume Mascara; simply pull the brush from lash root-to-tip a couple of times, and you’re done.

Could achieving Ashely Olsen’s look be any easier? BTW - head over to your local Wal-Mart to pick both of these up must-have goodies up.

According to People Magazine…

Mark Indelicato

Mark Indelicato, the young actor that plays the hilarious character of Justin on the hit show Ugly Betty, revealed his must-have beauty buys in this week’s issue of People.

Though he gets $50 per week for allowance, most young boys would spend their hard earned cash on video games & clothes, which Incelicato does… but he also splurges on - wait for it - Kiehl’s and Clarins, because their products help him avoid breakouts.

Talk about interesting indulgences! Maybe art does imitate life… Justin is pretty serious about his appearance!

Debunking Skin Cancer Myths

bikini skin cancer

Looks like fun, huh?

Maybe not.

According to the American Cancer Society, every hour an American dies from skin cancer. THAT’S INCREDIBLY SAD, since research has shown with the proper precautionary measures, skin cancer is one of the most preventable diseases. Yet, many Americans continue to use sunscreen products with minimal protection and spend endless hours exposing themselves to dangerous ultra violet rays from the sun and indoor tanning facilities. With so many different messages surrounding skin cancer, it becomes difficult to decipher myth from fact and, unfortunately for many, the results can be life threatening.

“I see many patients who have misconceptions about skin cancer and the severity of the disease,” says Darrell Rigel, M.D., president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS). “Myths surrounding skin cancer also affect the amount of misdiagnoses and mistreatments of the disease because more people visit walk-in-clinics and spas instead of seeing a board certified dermasurgeon when they have questions about a spot or a mole on their skin.”

According to a recent ASDS survey, 90 percent of its members have seen patients who’ve had skin cancer misdiagnosed or overlooked.

Just in time for baking-all-day-long-in-the-sun-season, Dr. Rigel addresses the most common skin cancer myths and sets the record straight.

Myth: Getting a suntan instead of sunburn will prevent skin cancer.

Fact: A suntan and sunburn are both signs that the skin has been damaged by Ultraviolet (UV) rays. Any skin color that you weren’t born with is a sign that skin cells have been damaged.

Myth: High Sun Protection Factor (SPF) means high protection.

Fact: Some of the highest SPF numbers only protect against Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays and not harmful Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays. Unlike UVB rays, UVA rays can pass through windows and are able to penetrate deeper into the skin, potentially leading to skin cancer.

Myth: Skin cancer only affects older adults.

Fact: Young people are at as much risk of skin cancer as older adults. Due to overexposure to the sun and the use of tanning beds in their teenage years, melanoma is the second most common cancer in women ages 20 through 29.

Myth: Skin cancer isn’t as dangerous as other cancers.

Fact: Melanoma, the deadliest for of skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States and accounts for approximately 8,420 deaths each year. It’s important to monitor all freckles, moles and marks on the skin and to visit a dermasurgeon immediately if you notice a change.

Myth: People with dark skin are safe from skin cancer.

Fact: Although people with fairer complexions are at higher risk, people with medium to darker complexions can still get skin cancer. It’s important to protect yourself from UV exposure, no matter what your skin tone.

Three Tips to Help You Get Your Beauty Sleep

Beauty Sleep

Have trouble sleeping? Don’t rely on dangerous sleeping pills - try a safer, non-prescription approach. “Most people who have trouble sleeping do not need sleeping pills,” says sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus. “The scents in Aromatherapy Sleep products are scientifically proven to help provide a better night’s sleep. I recommend that those who have trouble falling and staying asleep try the formulas before turning to more drastic measures like sleeping aides.”

Dr. Breus shares his top tips for falling deep into slumber the old-fashioned way:

1) Take a hot bath: “Taking a hot bath before bed heats up our body’s core, then cools it down just like the process when we sleep,” says Dr. Breus. “Therefore a hot bath can trigger a biological function that our bodies associate with being at rest.”

2) Get a relaxing massage: “A relaxing massage is a great way to de-stress and help us get ready for bed,” says Dr. Breus. “Ask your partner to give you a massage using Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep Body Lotion to help relax or apply the formula yourself very slowly, taking deep breaths along the way.”

3) Be aware of surroundings: “Our surroundings play a huge role in the quality of our sleep,” says Dr. Breus. “By using the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep Pillow Mist on your bedding you are creating a calm environment that is conducive to sleep.”
