One of this summer’s trends is chain jewelry. Chains can be light and minimal on hot days, they can be layered, they can give edge to an outfit and they go with everything. Angie at Your True Self Blog explores how simple chains add instant flair to your outfits. And she includes a style tip, too!

This brush buffs and blends liquid, cream and powder products to perfection, and its cruelty-free synthetic bristles are densely packed and incredibly soft. This is an affordable and effective brush that is truly covet-worthy!

The cosmetic world is loaded with wonderful serums but sometimes one stands out above the rest. For Cindy of Prime Beauty that one is The A Method Vitamin C Serum Antioxidant Gel 20%. Even in a short time she’s seen the difference that this serum can make in brightening her skin.

Back To School, Pamper You, Beauty Tips For Moms By Barbie's Beauty Bits

You spent all summer running around with the kids, but summer is almost over, meaning they'll be back to school. And for you mommies, this means you can pee in peace and no more having to hide in the pantry for some alone time! It's time to spoil yourself with my back to school, pamper you beauty tips for moms. Girl, you earned it!

No More Guilt
I'm starting off with this first as I know that some of you will find it hard to justify treating yourself. But the truth is rewarding yourself every once in a while will improve your mood, motivate you, and help you to avoid burnout! Hence, making you a happier, better mommy, and person in the long fun!

Back To School, Pamper You With These Beauty Tips For Moms

Tips For Moms To Lose Weight
With Covid, many of us have gained some weight, and while we hoped running around with the kids would help us lose weight, it hasn't worked. Add that to eating some of those kiddie snacks high in carbs; it has left many mommies feeling self-conscious of the little roll of fat we have around the abdomen! Especially when you placed your old favorite jeans on, and you got that muffin top, making you feel like you look too big to wear your favorite jeans.

First and foremost, if you’re trying to lose weight, stay away from fad diets. Secondly, the goal of losing weight starts in the kitchen, not the gym. Thirdly, one of the best ways to losing weight is to change energy balance for weight loss. When you decide to use energy balance change for weight loss, the first clue is to have an energy balance equation to consider how much energy your body needs to perform all necessary functions. (energy input vs. energy output. Or calories in, calories out equation).

This equation is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which measures the number of calories your body needs to perfect all essential functions, including cell production and breathing. The BMR accounts for approximately 60% to 75% of the total number of calories the body burns in a day. The remaining depend on activities and the thermic effect of food. Knowing how much energy your body needs enables you to manage your caloric intake.

Don’t forget that you’re going to have to take up exercise as well, drink the right amount of water per day, and get enough sleep. This can be difficult, but it will be worth it.

Perfect Your Smile
Another thing that you might want to refresh is your smile. Many people are self-conscious about their smiles.  While oral hygiene is essential, how straight your teeth are also impacting your health and how confident you feel showing off your smile and a dentist can be the answer to helping you perfect that Hollywood smile you've been seeking.

From teeth whitening to clear braces (customized clear aligners), you can flash your smile or converse with others without feeling self-conscious or worried about how your teeth look. 

Kids and premature graying  By Barbies Beauty Bits

Going Gray Early? Blame Your Kids
Going gray comes with aging and genetics. On average, most people who carry the genes to go gray will do so on 50 percent of their head by the time they’re 50. Become a parent at 30? Well, you could be graying sooner. WHY? Because parenting — being sleep deprived and stressed can blame an early onset of gray hair. 

As the saying goes, we don’t deal with gray hair anymore: we dye it! If you are like many moms, you are not ready for excessive gray hair. There’s no denying that walking out of the salon with a new (or refreshed) hair color is one of the best feelings...As I say "Bye, bye grannies (grandma's hairs)." But trying to get an appointment working around the kids, finding a sitter, while combining that with limited stylists because of COVID, we need to be creative when covering those grays in between salon appointments.

One product that can help is Mayraki Anti-Gray Hair Color Restoring Treatment. The premise behind this treatment is the active ingredient that boosts the melanin production at the bulb and boosts the melanin transfer from our scalp to hair, reversing the graying. Can I here a hell, yeah???


A little more about Mayraki Anti-Gray Treatment

  • 100% Vegan – Made from sustainably sourced premium all-vegan ingredients. Excludes any harsh pigments or dyes.
  • Naturally Restores Color– Naturally restores the hair’s original color rather than cover up with artificial pigments.
  • Long-term Results – Visible and long-term results with recommended use. Works from the inside out to reverse and prevent gray hair.
  • No Sulfate | No Paraben | No Formaldehyde – Free of any harsh sulfates and parabens that may damage the hair.

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Treatments For Moms
Nobody wants to look old or be told they look older from those truthful kids' comments, and this goes for mommies too. But a lot of moms are hesitant to jump on the cosmetic bandwagon for the simple fact is that they do not want to go under the knife.

The fear of going under the knife steers many away from cosmetic procedures, but what if there were some non-cosmetic treatments you could get that will have you looking gorgeous and refreshed in no time.

As we get older, our collagen production slows downs, this reduction in collagen and elastin are the evil culprits that ages us. The key to getting that refreshed youthful look comes down to collagen production; hence, it’s critical to seek some non-invasive treatment options that encourage collagen production and strengthen the skin. See some of my favorite mommy cosmetic treatments below:

Non-invasive cosmetic treatments for moms By Barbie's Beauty Bits

Best Non-invasive Cosmetic Treatments For A Mommy Makeover

  • Chemical peels are great at deeply exfoliating the skin and promoting cellular turnover.
  • Botox For A Mommy Makeover-A lifetime of making facial expressions can lead to the formation of lines and creases. Guess mom was right when she said you better stop that your face will freeze that way.  Botox injections are the best preventative measure for those Dynamic light Wrinkles. The pesky wrinkles appear from facial expressions like smiling or squinting but fade when the expression stops.
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a type of light therapy used to treat a deeper layer of the skin while stimulating collagen growth, improving the skin’s texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
  • Carbon Facials AKA, the Hollywood Facial. The revolutionary laser treatment is a great way to get a quick skin refresher without the downtime associated with other laser procedures.
  • This treatment uses the conductive qualities of carbon to:
    • Exfoliate the skin
    • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
    • Clear and tighten pores
    • Stimulate collagen production
    • Brighten and even out skin tone
    • Activate a deeply rejuvenating skin reaction that produces skin that is smooth, plump, and radiant!

To sum it up, whether you’re a mom looking to lose some weight or a rejuvenated appearance as the kiddies head back to school, there’s a treatment for you!

How To Pick The Best Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon

How To Pick To The Best Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon By Barbies Beauty Bits

How To Pick The Best Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon, With San Antonio Plastic Surgeon Dr. Scott J Farber And Barbie's Beauty Bits

Plastic surgery has made enormous strides since it first gained popularity in the 1960s. Surgical techniques have advanced, so they’re safer and more sophisticated, and men and women are more at ease with enhancing how they look with cosmetic surgery.

If you consider cosmetic procedures because you need reconstructive surgery, you must choose an excellent surgeon. 

Let’s review how you can find the best reconstructive plastic surgeon to meet your needs and goals.

Check For Board Certification When Searching For A Plastic Surgeon
Suppose you need reconstructive surgery on your face after an accident or the breasts after mastectomy. In that case, it is essential when scheduling an appointment to choose a surgeon who has as much skill and experience as possible.

This means you want to find a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in reconstructive procedures that you need. You should verify that your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery or The American Society of Plastic Surgeons. 

Remember that the US government doesn’t require that a surgeon has training in the services they offer. So, it’s possible you could have a surgeon who usually works on the cardiovascular system doing a face reconstruction procedure! This may seem hard to believe, but it’s legal. 

So, when finding the right reconstructive plastic surgeon who is qualified to perform it is up to you to ensure that your surgeon is board-certified. 

How to find a good reconstructive plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty By Barbies Beauty Bits

Check That The Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon Is Skilled In Your Procedure
If need plastic and reconstructive surgery because you were in a car accident and suffered severe trauma to your cheek and nose. You want to find a board-certified plastic surgeon skilled in reconstructing that part of the face.

It’s essential to have a plastic surgeon who is familiar with reconstructive rhinoplasty so that you can breathe normally through your nose.

Some of the questions you should ask your surgeon are:
  • How much training have you had in the procedure I need?
  • How many years have you performed this procedure?
  • How many times have you done this procedure in the past three years?
  • Do you have before and after photos of past patients who have had this procedure? 

Select A Cosmetic And Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon Whose Style Attracts You
Everyone knows that what one person finds attractive, another person may not. That’s why you should not seek medical advice from a friend or trust their recommendation outright about a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. Instead, you should look at the results of each surgeon you see to determine if their aesthetic sense appeals to you.

San Antonio plastic surgeon Dr. Scott J Farber notes, “Remember that the surgeon you select will be reconstructing part of your body after trauma or surgery, so you want to have someone whose results speak to you.” 

To get a feel for the surgeon’s aesthetic sense, Dr. Farber says you should consider these points:

  • Check their credentials.
    • Contact the State Medical Board – Here patients can find out information on licensing, education, board certification.
    • Check their certification – Are they recognized by The American Board of Plastic Surgery? This is the board that is responsible for certifying accrediting plastic surgeons.
    • Find out if your surgeon’s facility is accredited – Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care or The American Association of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities  inspects the facility of surgery centers for patient safety and care.
    • Search for them – Many surgeons are listed on The American Society of Plastic Surgeons website which provides information on procedures and ASAPS member surgeons.
  • Review their before and after photos. A great place to look for before and after photos is on RealSelf, as the pictures shown here are unedited. Then, compare each surgeon’s results for the reconstructive procedure you seek. Which doctor’s results look the best to you? 
  • One size does not fit all and that is true here as well.  Hence it is essential to look closely at the before and after photos of patients who are your size and general appearance. For example, for face reconstruction, look for patients around your age with a similar facial structure, and have some of the same issues, such as broken cheekbones and nose.
  • Check for consistency in each surgeon’s results for every patient that has had that procedure. Do the results look how you would want to look after surgery.

Check How The Surgeon And Staff Communicate With You
Having reconstructive surgery is a big deal, and it’s essential that you feel completely comfortable with the surgeon and the staff when choosing a plastic surgeon. After all, you will have major surgery and communicate with them for months as you recover and come in for follow-up appointments.

Some questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I enjoy talking to this surgeon?
  • Does he make me feel at ease?
  • Does he mind when I ask questions?
  • Will I be comfortable asking the surgeon questions during the entire process?
  • Am I comfortable giving my medical history to this surgeon?

Review Customer Service When Selecting A Surgeon
You should be sure when you have reconstructive surgery that you feel comfortable with everyone on the staff. After all, you will probably have weeks or months of recovery and will need to interact with many people there.

Check if the staff is helpful and friendly and whether the materials you get prepare you for the surgery and recovery. Also, you should always get a quick answer when you contact the practice, whether it’s by phone, text, or email.

Remember that going through reconstructive plastic surgery of any kind can be overwhelming and stressful. But if you are working with a top-notch, board-certified surgeon, you will be in the best of hands.

Summer Skincare Guide For Dry Skin

 

Summer Skincare Guide For Dry Skin  By Barbie's Beauty Bits

Best neck cream sponsored post

Summer is in full force, and while we love Summertime, it doesn't always love us back, particularly when it comes to dry, parched skin. Not only can the climate be a cause, but other culprits are causing our skin to become scaly and dry as the Sahara Desert! So, if you want to see some of the dry skin culprits and how you can combat them, continue reading Barbie's Beauty Bits “Summer Skincare Guide For Dry Skin.” 

 

Koren Skincare For Dry Summer Skin
Korean moisturizers are all the rage right now, which is why I wanted to touch base on this first quickly.  Dry and sensitive skin can be a huge pain to deal with, and K-beauty products are popping up all over the place because of their natural ingredients and skin-friendly formulas.

If you're looking for relief this summer, Korean moisturizers for dry skin may just be the solution you are looking for!


Outdoor Climate Can Cause The Skin To Become Dry

The Summer climate can wreak havoc on the skin, especially if you live in an area with low humidity and is very dry, like the Southwest. You see, low humidity removes oils from your skin, and prevents it from absorbing moisture. With these vital skin functions being compromised, the skin is now less able to protect itself against the external factors that accelerate age-induced dryness.


Solution: While you cannot control the humidity levels outside, you can control them in your home, which is why we suggest using a humidifier. No matter what skincare products you are using, you will be in a losing battle if you are not doing something to add some moisture back into the air. 


Speaking of zapping the air of some much-needed moisture, this brings us to our next culprit…overexposure to AC.

 

Skincare tips for dry summer skin by barbies beauty bits

Air Conditioning Can Wreck Havoc On The Skin

If you think your skin is safe indoors, this is not entirely true. As if you are always running your air conditioner, not only will it suck the humidity out of the air, but also your skin. This lack of moisture leads to a dry, itchy, dehydrated complexion prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles. 


Another thing that most people do not think of is the constant temperature change. For example, you walk out of a nice cool air-conditioned environment into the scorching outdoor heat. The sudden change from one temperature to the next can also be incredibly stressful on the skin, leading to an undernourished, dehydrated complexion. 


Solution: In addition to keeping a quality humidifier running at a relative humidity level between 40-50%. To add some much-needed moisture back into your complexion, we suggest looking for skincare products with key hydrating ingredients. See some of our suggestions below.

 

Best active skincare ingredients By Barbie's Beauty Bits

Key Active Skincare Ingredients To Help With Dry Summer Skin


Prickly Pear-  This Mediterranean ingredient, also known as barbary fig, is exceptionally high in essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, and 9). Furthermore, prickly pear oil nourishes the skin as it contains a high linoleic acid content known to calm dehydrated skin.

 

Hyaluronic Acid- Is a star skincare ingredient naturally occurring in the human body and should be the centerpiece of any anti-aging routine. Hyaluronic acid attracts up to 1000 times its weight in moisture; for that reason, it is ultra-moisturizing and helps to keep skin hydrated, plump, and more radiant. It even visibly softens fine lines and wrinkles.

 

Cica- Cica or Tiger Grass. This fantastic plant has been used for thousands of years for its skin healing and calming properties. It soothes inflammation, redness and helps rebuild the skin barrier for firmer, healthier skin. 


CBD Oil- As you can see, there are a lot of skincare ingredients on the market. One buzz-worthy ingredient (no pun intended) is CBD, and no, it won't get you high. CBD is known for its healing properties and offers some serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, which is why it is CBD is impressive for anti-aging and hyper-reactive skin.


Growth Factors- Also called EGF, this molecule directly stimulates the proliferation of epidermal cells. The first Growth Factor that made its way into cosmetic products was Oligopeptide-1, known for its skin renewal properties. And no, this is not a growth hormone. They are natural substances produced by the skin cells that support the repair of damaged skin due to aging or environmental factors. They promote collagen and elastin formation to provide firmness and elasticity, making them great for treating aging areas like our neck, decolletage, and hands. 


Showering The Wrong Way

You mean there is a right and wrong way to bath? Yes, there is. Most adults commit to one big mistake, especially if they are hot, sweaty, and stinky from the summer temperatures, which is showering too often. The shower in the morning, after working out, before bedtime. Too much washing results in removing some much-needed oil from the skin, not only from the soaps used but also from showering too long, using the wrong temperature, even exposing the skin to excess chlorine.

Stop Slacking On Your Summer Skincare

A gorgeous Summer glow does not mean you can slack on your skincare routine, as it can quickly end up in the opposite direction from neglect. 


Solution: As with any season, it is important to transition your skincare routine to specifically address a skin care issue that may arise due to that specific time of year.  


Some Of Our Summer Skincare Favorites 

For Dry Skin


Double Cleanse Your Skin This Summer

The double cleanse involves washing your face in two steps. First, use an oil-based cleanser, followed by a cleanser. 


Get started on the double cleanse with these two unique products that I love!!

 

Double cleanse your dry skin in the summer by Barbies Beauty

Wash Your Face With A Cleansing Balm During The Summer

First Cleanse With A Cleansing Oil Or Face Balm. I've been so loving Kim True's Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm with Bilberry & Moringa Seed Extracts. This blam melts into the skin upon application and completely rids it of makeup, dirt, oil, and impurities.

 

Lighten Up Your Skincare In The Summer

For many, Summertime maybe their favorite time of year. However, hot dry weather, sticky humidity, and a high UV index can, unfortunately, create severe issues for your skin.


What kind of cleanser should you use when it’s 90 degrees outside? Just like your wardrobe, regardless of the temperature, you still need to wear a shirt in the summer. You wouldn't wear a sweater, though, right?? You would lighten it up by wearing a tank top. The same goes with your cleanser. One product I love is Gold Elements multi-task facial cleanser.

 

This is a mild and light cleanser that foams upon application to exfoliate, condition, and rebalance your skin, leaving it feeling fresh, renewed, and healthy-looking. While this is marketed as a cleanser, it is also an exfoliator, so two products in one. 

 

Best skincare product for your neck by Barbies Beauty bits


Don't Forget The Neck And Decolletage

Our faces shouldn't gobble all the skincare products. We need to show our necks and decolletage some TLC this summer. Unlike the winter, where you can hide those sagging jowls, tech neck, and neck wrinkles with a turtle neck. In the summer, those deep V's or low-cut tank tops will make emphasize those problem areas!


We've all heard of crow's feet caused by sun exposure. But when it comes to the battle against wrinkles, most of us are guilty of neglecting one part of our body that deserves equal TLC... Our neck! Stupid on us, this area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, especially with a constant downward movement from using our cell phones, laying in the sun, yard work, and of course, aging. 


Just like the skin on the face, collagen production, hyaluronic acid, and elastin slow down on the neck as we age. The constant production of these three elements within the body is key to youthful, plump-looking skin. But as we get older, the degradation of these elements can be impacted.


So what are you to do? Use a skincare product designed specifically for the neck skin and Décolleté. The key here is prevention before the deep wrinkles form. Why? Because this skin is more delegate than the skin on the face, and one product I love is "IMIM Skincare Firming & Sculpting Neck Cream," an anti-aging moisturizer for sagging neck & decollete. Not only is this pharmaceutical-grade skincare product enriched with Hyaluronic Acid to add moisture and balance the skin hydration giving it a supple, smooth look. This cream is packed full of complex peptides that aid in the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. It also contains key active ingredients essential for skin renewal, improving elasticity and firmness. Ingredients like...


Growth Factors 

We mentioned these earlier. But Epidermal Growth Factor or EGF like Oligopeptide-1, Oligopeptide-2, Oligopeptide-5 are the building blocks of protein in the skin for resilience. Our skin will gobble up these ingredients helping to prevent sagging jowls, tech neck, and neck wrinkles!

 

The Filler Fabric ™

Boosting collagen is a must. And one of the unique ingredients that blend hydrating actives and a genetically replicated salt soil active extract of Brittany coast, the Filler Fabric ™ (kind of collagen fabric), to soften and smooth dry lines around the neck while deserving hydration to skin’s surface. This advanced multi-task formula helps reveal a smoother and more plumped neck.

 

Best skincare to use at night by barbies beauty bits

 

Tone Me Baby

No, we are not talking about working out but rather a face toner. Toners work wonders to help unclog and tighten your pores, minimize acne, and balance your PH levels. They are also very refreshing, especially if you store them in a skincare fridge. The chilled toner helps to minimize puffiness and stimulate your face while reducing redness. A skincare fridge can help your toner last longer too.


One product that is a must-try is Meebak cleansing pads. A pad (80 Pre-soaked pads) that does it all! - one-step cleansing, no rinsing needed! Perfect for those hot, hellish days, to wipe away dirt and impurities while toning and soothing skin, all in one single step.


Pile On An Over Night Recovery Sleeping Skincare Mask

A hydrating mask is key to restoring moisture to your dry summer skin, alleviating dullness, and fighting under-eye circles the next day. And Elemis Over Night Recovery Sleeping Skincare Mask is here to the rescue. 


At night, our body temperature tends to rise as it goes into repair and recovery mode. As a result, your skin loses hydration while you sleep. This super-cooling gel mask works the night shift to help soothe, nourish, and restore hydration to the skin. Come morning, angsty skin is hydrated and beautifully balanced for a glowing, refreshed complexion.

The name fits, spend as little money as possible, and you can as they have tons of coupons working with over 87 companies, including top retailers like Ulta, Sephora, Beauty.com, and Dermastore, to help you with your Summer beauty needs. I found them when I searched for a Latisse coupon for longer lashes, so I wanted to share with you to fight dry, dehydrated skin this Summer!
