I have shared insights and useful tips on these topics in the past, helping others to make informed choices. This month, I am pleased to introduce you to websites I discovered that focus on sustainable clothing and makeup.

Makeup Remover – Guidelines

09/17/2025 autocreate740 Leave a comment

Wirecutter is one of my favorite places to get recommendations for various items. Their thorough reviews and user feedback help simplify the decision-making process, especially when it comes to products we use daily. In a recent article, they focused on the topic of Makeup Remover, which is something many of us consider essential for maintaining healthy skin. With the vast array of options available, choosing the right one can be quite overwhelming.

In the article, they shared their findings on several top-rated makeup removers, evaluating factors like effectiveness, skin compatibility, and price points. This kind of detailed analysis not only highlights the best products but also provides insight into what makes a makeup remover truly effective, such as its ability to break down stubborn makeup without harsh chemicals.

I couldn’t help but share the link with you because we are always looking for guidelines that are beneficial for our skin and pocketbook. Having reliable recommendations can lead to better skincare choices and ultimately save us from spending on products that do not meet our needs. I hope you find the article as informative and useful as I did!

News You Can Use 🙂

Age Spots are often paid attention to more in the summer months when our skin is exposed to the UV light, which can exacerbate their appearance. The Mayo Clinic has some essential guidelines for protecting your beautiful skin from sun damage that can lead to the formation of these spots. It’s crucial to invest in a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, applying it generously on all exposed skin, even on cloudy days, as UV rays can penetrate through the clouds. Additionally, wearing protective clothing, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing hats can further shield your skin. Take a look at the comprehensive recommendations from the Mayo Clinic when you have an opportunity to ensure you maintain a radiant, youthful complexion throughout the year.

By the way, younger people can get these spots if they spend time in the sun.

Bee Pollen FYI – Health & Haircare Benefits

11/19/2024 autocreate740 Leave a comment

I recently enjoyed a salad sprinkled with bee pollen and was amazed by the flavor. Consequently, I searched for it in the supermarket to use as a seasoning for my salads. And guess what? I discovered that it’s beneficial for various health issues, including arthritis, which I have, and boosting energy, which I could use. I found this information on WebMD, a source I often use for research. You might want to consider adding it to your diet too.

Even Awesome Women Suffer Hair Loss

As always, you can count on me to give you “news you can use”. In many cases, it will also “lift you, and your beauty to look UP“.

I posted about hair loss for the first time on HairBlues in March 2012!
You can imagine — that was 12 years ago — and there was “little talk”
about hair loss so candidly. I am happy to report — that the hair loss discussion has made much progress since then, allowing for women to choose a look that works for them whether it be bald and beautiful, or experimentation with various looks and styles.

Kudos to Rihanna for revealing her own struggle with hair loss including her creative nature to do some one thing – or many things about it.

Stay beautiful – because hair loss can also be made beautiful!

I saw Dr. Youn on the Tamara Hall show, and found out that he is a believer in using “natural” methods for long term beauty regimens. He does sell beauty products, which I am happy to inform you he
reports to be “cruelty-free”.

I share his website with you because at HairBlues we try to help you find good beauty products.
