Glycolic Acid's Smallest Molecule Benefits Skin Better Than Rest Of AHAs

Beautiful skin is NOT a given, at least for the vast majority of us.

Repairing and rejuvenating our complexions takes a lot of smart thinking, proper skin care products and a routine you stick by.

There are proven prescription fixers like retin-A, hydroquinone and others. But there are also great over-the-counter choices like Vitamin C serum, chemical peels, retinol and tons of other products.

Today, we are looking at the KING of the AHAs or alpha hydroxy acids, because these little guys mean serious business.

Glycolic acid happens to contain the smallest molecular structure of ALL the AHAs, which means that it can penetrate the greatest into the skin and do the most valuable complexion repair.

Glycolic acid is most commonly known for use as a popular chemical peel but it can also be made into a strong cream base for nightly application.

You wake up to a SMOOTHER, BRIGHTER, CLEARER, MORE EVEN COMPLEXION.

At first, this acid can cause redness and irritation, but if you proceed SLOWLY, you will REAP all these incredible benefits.

Here's a powerful glycolic acid cream at 20% by Glycolix Elite Facial Cream ($32.40).

Here's to BETTER skin while you SLEEP.

Christie Brinkley Almost 62: Believes In Conservative "Filling" + Other Cosmetic Things

Yup.....The golden beauty turns 62 in February.

Yup.....Just want to HATE her, but Christie Brinkley appears so likable that we adore her, too.

Here's the iconic model at a book signing in Long Island Friday peddling her new beauty tome, Timeless Beauty.

Wow!

Has Christie Brinkley had ANY cosmetic enhancements?

DUH.....Of course, but in her defense there is ZERO over-done here, like the silly, huge fake lips we often see today on celebrities.

She has hit the gene pool as they say, but in her new book, the famous model believes in dermal stuff like fillers + Botox  as long as you have it done with a light hand:

"I have used fillers in super-tiny doses, and just like make-up, the best ones are imperceptible.....

"Used well, they can give the overall face a lift and also diminish fine lines. I’ve used them on an indentation on my forehead – the legacy of a playground accident – and also on marionette lines around my mouth. But you must use a very small amount because over-filling removes contours and gives you a flat face."

We admire her honesty + intelligence on the topic.  Looks like a good beauty read.

Looking For Beauty Self-Expression? Try Lime Crime Makeup!

Iconic makeup artist Sandy Linter has seen a lot of famous faces in her time as a celebrity makeup artist. She has worked on iconic model Christie Brinkley and many others.

We're not sure what Sandy would say about the wild, crazy makeup colors that have worked their way into the mainstream lately, like bright blue lipstick.

But Sandy did say this about makeup + age:

In your 20's:

1. Do experiment with color

"Crazy yellow eyeshadow? You can pull it off!" at this age, Sandy told People mag. "Break all the rules."

2. Play up your lips

Sandy advises to go with the dark lipstick and super shiny glosses now, because when you get older, lips lose volume, and a deeper tone can be aging.

So then........ when you're YOUNG, go for it!

And there's a cool makeup line by founder Doe Deere that encourages young women to find their voice + empowerment with her crazy-colored palettes.

You can purchase her wild, boldly-pigmented lipstick + glitter eyeshadows online here at LimeCrime.

Don't be shy........Take a look at her HOT trendy makeup:

Lime Crime equals happy, modern makeup, and young women around the world are breaking the beauty rules. They are REALLY coloring OUTSIDE the lines.

Lime Crime lipsticks range from $17 - $20 and the glitter eye shadows cost $10.

Would you boldly go out in public wearing Lime Crime makeup?
