Solar Gloves to Protect Your Hands & Arms for Summer

Solar Gloves Are an Optional Way to Protect Your Skin in the Summer

Summer is hard on your skin, and that's a fact. Photoaging causes most of the signs of aging to our skin. Dermatologists recommend liberal and regular application of sunscreen during the summer and early fall months to protect your skin from sun damage if you can't stay in the shade. 

Protective Clothing Is a Good Substitute for Sunscreen

However, if you can't stay indoors or under a tree and you don't want to keep up with sunscreen, protective clothing is another option to maintaining healthy skin. Hats, visors, long-sleeve shirts and long pants can protect your skin and so can solar gloves. 

Solar gloves come in many styles, fabrics and colors and provide various degrees of protection for the arms and hands. If you are wearing a t-shirt, long solar gloves will pull up all the way to the sleeve to protect the entire arm. So whether you are working in your garden or working out with a jog or a long hike, solar gloves are one way to keep your hands and arms out of the sun.

Read my review of solar gloves here:

Solar Gloves for Hands & Arms, a Review: While I can't say these solar gloves are fashionable, I can say they have a certain charm to them. More importantly, they cover your arms and...

FTC Goes After MLM Neora, Formerly Nerium, for Illegal Pyramid Scheme

Two Nerium containers back when I tried it circa 2014.

Nerium has always had a questionable reputation. I have to assume that was one reason--perhaps the main reason--the company changed its name to "Neora." Apparently, watchdog group Truth In Advertising shares that opinion.
NERIUM’S MOVE TO DISAPPEAR & REINVENT ITSELF AS NEORA

As someone who writes skincare articles and has written them for sites like Yahoo and Examiner, I was contacted during Nerium's early boom and offered a free trial. I tried it and it burned my skin. Not only that, but the product was held in small containers hidden inside much larger plastic containers.

This prompted me to do a great deal of research into the product and discover it was the brainchild of a serial MLM marketer Jeff Olson who used dubious claims and faulty science as well as fake endorsements to hawk his latest MLM product.

His early claims tried to tie the company's research into MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. The cancer center was forced to respond with this article: 
Setting the record straight about MD Anderson and Nerium

Actor Ray Liotta sued the company for using his images in a fake before and after photo for Nerium AKA Neora. 
Ray Liotta Claims Skincare Company Faked His Endorsement

A search for Nerium burn turns up page after page of people complaining and even suing the company over chemical burns caused by the product. I experienced a Nerium chemical burn first hand, and it was painful and disfiguring until it cleared up after I used a product called Soothe to heal the burn. 


In 2017, Nerium's Jeff Olson was accused of massive, multi-million dollar fraud by Nerium SkinCare (NSC) and Nerium Biotechnology (NBI), partners of Nerium International. The Nerium partners asked in the lawsuit for inspection of the books. 
Nerium Under Fire for Fraud 

Now Neora has moved beyond Nerium's bad skin care into dangerous new ground,  and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not pleased. The Federal Trade Commission has sued the multi-level marketer Neora, and its Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Olson, alleging that the company is basically an illegal pyramid scheme that falsely promises its recruits they will achieve financial independence if they join the scheme. 

That's bad enough, but the lawsuit also alleges that Neora and Olsen deceptively promote “EHT” supplements "as an antidote to concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy caused by repetitive brain trauma, as well as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease."

According to the FTC website, the FTC is seeking to permanently stop the Neora defendants’ deceptive practices and return money to consumers.

FTC Sues Multi-Level Marketer Neora, formerly known as Nerium, Alleging it Operates as an Illegal Pyramid Scheme

It pays to do your due diligence before trying skin care products or becoming a rep for any company. Never just read the company's literature. Google it. 

Many MLMs are run ethically and provide good products that benefit consumers like legacy companies Mary Kay, Avon and Rodan + Fields. The term MLM is not a bad word, but companies like Nerium/Neora give it a bad reputation.

Skin, Health & Beauty Japan on Facebook

A brand-new page has launched on Facebook to help Japanese men and women have healthier skin and creamier complexions and to introduce them to the best skincare products in the U.S. for Japanese skin.

Skin, Health & Beauty Japan will feature health tips as well as skincare and beauty tips that will be useful to anyone but will focus on Japanese skin.

Japanese women, like other Asians. have a thinner outer layer of the skin which is more susceptible to scarring and dryness because the weaker lipid barrier causes moisture to evaporate easily. Some of our tips will address the specific concerns of Japanese skin.

When I started using Lash Boost last year I had alopecia on one eyelid which my local dermatologist said she couldn't treat, even with the prescription drug, Latisse. Now thanks to Lash Boost I have my lashes back and they are longer, thicker and fuller looking... and I didn't have to pay for a trip to the dermatologist or a prescription!

Brighten Those Eyes & Lengthen Those Lashes!

RF has long made one of the most popular eye creams on the planet, the Multi-Function Eye Cream that treats wrinkles and crow's feet, but in the past year the company has outdone itself in the eyes department!

First known as the makers of Proactivfor acne, Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields have expanded their offerings with products that treat the most common signs of aging skin... and that includes the eyes!

At the end of 2016 the doctors unveiled the exclusive Lash Boost formulation which makes eyelashes thicker, longer and fuller-looking. In addition, the new lashes treatment is good for filling in thinning eyebrows! Lash Boost quickly dominated the eyelash market, outselling the top-selling mascara in the U.S.

My Eyes Over 3 Months with Lash Boost

Most recently the doctors revealed their New Bright Eye Complex to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Based on the same new molecule created for their Active Hydration Serum, Bright Eye Complex hydrates the eye area and nourishes the delicate skin to produce brighter, younger-looking, more rested-looking eyes.

Add in our Eye Cloths treatment and our Acute Care Patches for crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes and your eyes will look better than they have in years!

Naked and Not Afraid!

I went naked today. No, I wasn't on "Naked and Afraid" nor was I on a questionable PETA campaign.  Actually I was only naked from the neck up.

Today was the annual Rodan + Fields #RFGoNaked Day where the creators of Proactiv and the new Rodan + Fields Dermatologists line of anti-aging skincare donated $1 to help empower disadvantaged youth for every selfie posted on social without makeup on social media with the hashtag #RFGoNaked.

Makeup-Free Skin Is Healthier Skin

The doctors believe makeup-free skin is healthier and can be as attractive if not more so without foundation and cosmetics. To prove their point they encourage women to go makeup free for one day and share their selfies. And to top it off, they donate $1 to help educate young people for each one posted with the #RFGoNaked hashtag. Last year they donated several hundred thousands to help young people.

Go Without Foundation for a Good Cause

It's not too late! The RF team will be counting hashtags until midnight tonight Pacific time. So go ahead--go naked and make your selfie count!

Top Four Things to Know About Natural Beauty Products

The Natural beauty business is booming and has become a big industry with deep pockets and its own spin machine. Natural product pushers are quick to point the finger at the beauty industry by claiming it is unregulated and not FDA approved. Did you know this also means natural beauty products are not regulated nor are they FDA approved in most cases?

The fact is the beauty industry is self regulated with its own rules, watchdogs and organizations. And many beauty products ARE in fact FDA tested and approved. Any products that are classified as PREMIUM skincare have been approved by the FDA, so don't fall for the hype from the big all-natural industry.

And while  natural beauty products usually don't contain irritants, they often fall short in other ways.

 Here are 4 important things to know about Natural Beauty Products

1. Natural products are a good way to maintain healthy, young skin since they aren't supposed to use harsh chemicals. It is always best to read the labels because they do sometimes use ingredients that can irritate the skin. They won't do much for the skin since their molecules are usually too large to pass through the skin's protective barrier, but they typically shouldn't hurt the skin, either.

2. Many people are allergic to natural ingredients because people can be allergic to anything including aloe vera, chamomile, and other harmless-sounding ingredients

3. Natural ingredients can enhance and supplement a good skincare product but they rarely--if ever--can match the results and health benefits of using a well researched and tested clinical skincare product is always best to read the labels because they do sometimes us ingredients that can irritate skin.

4. Natural beauty products are not regulated and often get by with making claims there is no clinical proof for.

So if you have an all-natural skincare product you just love, by all means enjoy it. It probably won't hurt your skin but it probably won't change it much epithet. But a good question to ask yourself is this: when you you look at photos from a year ago, has your natural product made a big difference in your skin?

If you want to really change your skin and make it healthier, you might have to dig a little deeper.
