Truth #6 Light Reflecting Particles = Glitter On the market today are dozens upon dozens of beauty brands that tout the use of “light reflecting particles” or “luminizers” in their products.  Simply put, those words are a clever disguise to say, there’s glitter in your makeup.   Most often you’ll find them in products aimed at eliminating dark under eye circles, though I’ve seen it in foundation, blush and even mascara! Take a look for yourself.  Put a swipe of the product in question on the... Read Full Story

Having had such a  good experience with Macadamia Natural Oil Reviving Curl Cream , which  gives a lovely light bounce to curly tresses imparting mostly (certainly not entirely, but definitely mostly) nourishing natural ingredients, I was looking forward to trying Macadamia Natural Oil’s shampoo and conditioner. Sadly, the experience hasn’t quite lived up to my expectations. Like the leave-in styling cream, the Macadamia Natural Oil Moisturizing Rinse ($16) and the Rejuvenating Shampoo ($12...

Reviewed by Michele I’ve been using SKIN by Nulastin Rejuvenating Formula for six weeks. I have been using it both morning and evening on my entire face. I use it over Cellbone Hyper-Peptides Serum , which has been a part of my regimen for two years now. I took a photo of my skin prior to starting. I was hoping that SKIN would help to diminish lines above my lips and/or help to firm my skin a bit. At 62, my skin is in remarkably good shape, but the firmness is not what it used to be. My skin...

Telangiectasia (a.k.a. spider veins and broken capillaries) are dilated small vessels near the surface of the skin. Typically they are caused by sun exposure, inflammatory conditions (such as acne or rosacea), alcohol and aging. Mine (confined to a small patch on each cheek) are likely the result of all of the above and I am always on the look out for ways of treating them . I’ve had some success and feel, for the first time, confident enough to select the best. The quest, like all others... Read Full Story

Back in May, Sunil wrote a rather skeptical article about Infotone Face Mist . After it was posted, an AquaLiv representative sent us a sample of the product, urging us to test Infotone before passing judgment. To recap part of Sunil’s article, Infotone Face Mist ($35) is exactly what it sounds like: a face spray. But it’s not just any spray; it’s “the first cosmetic to utilize BioT™ Bioinformation Technology.” What is bioinformation, you ask? It is the information signature of a substance... Read Full Story

Reviewed by Jelena TIA note: This review pertains to a new, enhanced version of Chella Lash-Full Fillment Conditioning Treatment It has been about a month since I started using Chella Lash Full-Fillment Conditioning Treatment. I have to say that I have been on Latisse for about 2.5 months prior to starting Chella, so my lashes were at a certain length already. I like the applicator that comes with the product; it helps to spread the right amount of product precisely where it needs to go.  I... Read Full Story

Thanks to Sarah’s sleuthing , I’ve just become acquainted with a makeup that uses organic ingredients called Vapour Organic Beauty and I’ve trying out the 3-in-1 moisturizer, primer and no-color foundation called Stratus Instant Skin Perfector ($44). This multitasker performs well, is full of good things and puts most so-called BB creams to shame. Stratus comes in stick form and the idea is to rub it on the back of your hand to warm it up, then apply the stick over the face and finish by... Read Full Story

Many members of the Truth In Aging community have been asking me about what I’m doing to get toned (but not bulky arms). First of all, thank you for noticing. So here’s the secret – and a wonderful one it is too. Really! My workout routine is incredibly efficient – you can have arms like mine with a five minute a day workout – and it can completely change your entire body at any age. In this past year, at the age of 51, I have very significantly changed the shape of my body. It isn’t just... Read Full Story

By Claudia First off the scent of Creo Care’s Nano Pro-Tec Body Wash ($17), Grapefruit Ginger is marvelous. Both the grapefruit and ginger are evident but neither is over-powering. I prefer to use products with energizing scents in the morning and relaxing ones at night. This body wash is perfect to use anytime. Its scent evokes a perk-me-up yet is also calming. The product itself is an opaque liquid with medium viscosity. It also produces a light lather which rinses away easily.  After its... Read Full Story

Reviewed by Tina I just completed a 4-week treatment trial using Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer ( $65 in the TIA shop ) twice a day (morning & night) after cleansing and toning and the overall results were OK, but nothing significantly better than what I have experienced with other anti-aging creams. The jar’s air pump dispensing technology is slick and I loved being able to dispense just the right amount of product very easily without the possibility of any bacterial... Read Full Story
