Under the “what will they think of next” category here’s the newest, wackiest,
potentially useful little item we found today: Air Stockings. You don’t pull them on
and they don’t run — or so we’re told. Instead, spray them on. Like a tan mist,
but not necessarily aiming for tan. The idea is to mute or cover spider veins and
imperfections on your legs, much like pantyhose would, but without the
wrinkles, runs and discomfort of pantyhose. Does it rub off when you dance? We
don’t know, it’s news to us. But you can try it at a new store on our list Derma
Doctor, which also stocks a long list of spa-quality creams and blemish aides.

Tea Tree oil keeps expanding its presence in beauty care. The Body Shop offers an extensive line of Tea Tree skin products, a wash, a scrub, a moisturizing gel and a mask. Something must be worth working here. We’ve seen how Tea Tree oil can heal an injury, we’ve used it many times for cuts and insect bites. It makes sense that the same extract would sooth and smoothe your skin. So we’ll be trying the Tea Tree face wash and see what it does for a teen we know. Meanwhile, it’s good to know that these products help support the aboriginal tribe that harvests the oil.

GreatSkin® All In One Scalpel-less Face Lift Cream is recommended for dry or mature skin. How would you like to hold onto your youthful looks well into your later years without resorting to cosmetic or plastic surgery? Time isn’t as much of an enemy to our skin as the dangerous free radicals caused by sun exposure, cigarette smoking, excess alcohol, environmental toxins, stress, poor diet, and sleep deprivation. As we know these free radicals can break down our skin’s collagen and elastin causing lines, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin. We desperately need powerful anti oxidants to fight and prevent this damage. Vitamin C has long been my favorite antioxidant and still is, however there are a few new potent antioxidants and ingredients that can even optimize and boost the effects of Vitamin C.
