Celebrity Obsessions: Flawless Skin

DuWop Revolotion
Celebs like Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson, and Hillary Duff may have great gams, but they still rely on the extra confidence boost of DuWop's Revolotion. The fast-drying tinted body cream conceals imperfections and evens skin tone -- a must-have for shorts season. The product is in demand on the sets of "ER," "Bride Wars," Dancing with the Stars," and "True Blood." And brand new this summer is the Clear Revolotion -- the line's first self-tanner with a clear-blue tint (it helps counteract any orange tones as the tan develops).

Koh Gen Do
As if we didn't already have enough things to covet from Japan, this professional cosmetics brand is moving stateside (to Barney's, specifically). Think high-pigment formulas, artist-friendly palettes, and innovative textures. The Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation is already huge hit with makeup artists for its HD camera-ready finish. It's been used on the casts of "Entourage," "Glee," and on stars from Christina Applegate to Katherine Heigl. The concealer palette is another winner -- mix the two shades together right inside the convenient compact, which includes a grooved mixing area and tiny brush.

Payot Leg Gel
Brooke Shields uses Payot Cooling Relaxing Light Leg Gel to re-energize between Broadway shows. (The actress is currently appearing in Love, Loss, and What I Wore). The soothing gel from one of France's most luxe skincare brands relieves tension and soreness with it's tingly, cooling hematite (a mineral form of iron) formula.

I think the commentors above work for the companies whose products they are talking about. I tried both Lifecell & Dermitage and neither one did anything. Lifecell is especially expensive and just turned my skin darker. Dermintage products stung. Save your money and buy products from reputable stores like Sephora and Ulta.

are you talking about Lifecell by south beach skin care? because i've tried every cream and this is the only one where i've actually noticed a huge difference. my husband brought home a sample tube and after a month i was hooked- had to hunt them down and now it's delivered once every 45 days...how it could make your skin darker doesn't make any sense? it has reflectors in it that actually diffuse the light hitting your skin so that it looks flawless...i'm 46 and people noticed a change in my skin after that first tube. i'm definitely a believer!

Aol just ran a piece called: The Absolute Best Cars For Older Drivers. 'OLDER' ??? Everyone at Aol who OK's these articles can take anything they recommend for faces and push it into one of the oldest places on THEIR bodies. Maybe things will begin to run well from there for the rest of us as we curiously browse, and are fatally hoodwinked, into what they consider to be good writing as well as opinions.

Do yourselves a favor and just stay with the old true brands. Oil of Olay and Pond's cold cream. And always tie your hair back when you sleep to keep it away from your face.

Damn that feels good. ;)

Use a Clarisonic and Olay. The clarisonic is fairly expensive, but pays for itself in the long run (read the reviews), it really does work.
Movie stars can afford to pay 100's for creams, I can't!

I paid $124.00 por a cream at Shideido to help me with my skin tone and didn't help a bit. I don't see the benefit of expensive skin cream. I wouldn't mind if it helped.

A friend introduced me to her grandmother, who I thought was in her mid to late 60's. She was 84 and had been using Pond's Cold Cream since she was a teen......

There you go again AOL........running an advertisement and making it look like something news-worthy. Giving us catchy phrase words like "tea trea" and "arnica" - but not a complete list of what goes into this product. Is there more than 20 ingredients? Is there any water or alcohol? Did they pay for this "news" item????

Avon's cashmere finish magix and Anew foundation does the same thing for a LOT less money. Selecting the right shade and how you apply it helps. Try it on my website:
youravon.com/jcaruana and get free shipping on $30 or more! Read the real reviews of these products, the Glazewear lipglosses and Anew age renewing skin products. Then try them!

I avoid ANY moisturizer or make-up with MINERAL OIL or a form of MINERAL OIL like PETROLEM JELLY in it.

ALL this information was obtained by an article I read after researching Mineral Oil. After I read all of this about Mineral Oil I threw away close to $200.00 worth of moisturizers, make-up foundations, tanning oils and lotions and I try to find products that use Safflower oil or Sunflower oil or Olive Oil INSTEAD of Mineral Oil.

Mineral oil is clear, liquid oil with no scent and will not spoil. It is produced as a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil, the same stuff they make gasoline from . Mineral oil is leftover liquid, and because it is abundant, it is very inexpensive. It is CHEAPER for manufacturers to purchase these byproducts as a filler than it is for the industry to dispose of it.In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil, than to purchase it. Mineral oil is the main ingredient in many baby care items as well. Baby oil, Vaseline (petroleum jelly), baby wash liquid soap, and baby lotions all contain mineral oil as a key ingredient. In fact close to 95% of all cosmetics use mineral oil, including your eye shadow, blush, lipstick, shaving cream and your everyday moisturizer and lotion you use at home. It is also used in most tanning oils and lotions and SPF sunscreen products.

Mineral oil acts as a thin layer on the skin. Mineral oil is not absorbed into your skin because the molecules are too large. it just sits on top of your skin and clogs your pores, which doesn't allow your skin to absorb water (moisture) which slows the skins ability to eliminate toxins. Remember, the skin in the body's largest organ and plays an important role in maintaining overall health! Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins found there. It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Mineral Oil increases the photo-aging of the skin...and we wonder why we keep looking older, why our skin continues to dry out, even with all the products we use?
Studies have also shown forms of pneumonia caused by mineral oil decreasing lung function, know as lipoid pneumonia. Because of these dangers, the medical community has condemned the use of mineral oil taken orally or as an ingredient in medications.

It IS difficult to find products without Mineral Oil in them BUT LOOK at the product ingredient list. the very first ingredient is the ingredient that is used MOST in the product, so IF Mineral Oil is in the product list in the middle or even better, towards the end of the ingredient list that means there is very llitle of Mineral Oil in the product.
