Skincare Break - YBF Skincare

As I've mentioned before on my blog, I have very sensitive skin, which makes me a little nervous to try new skincare products. I heard great things about YBF (Your Best Face) Skincare from other beauty blogs, so I decided to give it a try. I tried YBF's Control...and loved it. Control is used for rejuvenating, wrinkle management and antioxidant protection. After using Control twice a day, for about one month, I noticed my skin was a little less tired looking and brighter.

The featured ingredient in the YBF line is spin trap. I'll let YBF-skincare.com explain: "Spin trap functions as an antioxidant, but not in the traditional manner. Instead o f destroying free radicals, it restores balance to unstable molecules and does a better job of protecting our cells from damage."

YBF Skincare has a product for everything on your wish list, ranging from anti-aging, oil control, wrinkle correction and improving complexion products. The skincare items are on the expensive side, ranging from $120 - $160, so I would suggest trying out one product first, and if you're a fan, adding the rest to your birthday gift list.

You can purchase YBF products at TheSkinCareShop.com.

Hair Break - Face Shape Haircuts

I'm going for a haircut tomorrow (a much needed one). Realizing that it's time to ease into my summer look (the shorter the better) I'm trying to decide what type of style I want to go with. TotalBeauty.com has a great article on how to determine the right haircut with each type of face shape. Once you decide which face shape you have, they have examples of short, medium and long styles that flatter each shape. Check it out!
