Surprising advice from L'Oreal

"Over-moisturizing can train skin to think it doesn't need to produce its own moisture. Moisturize when needed, but don’t overdo it." From Twitter.

Amazing.  I would have thought that it's L'Oreal's business to push the use of moisturizer - kinda like the advice to shampoo, rinse, and repeat.

This is welcome news.  Some while ago, I posted an link on Facebook to a news item about Fashion Fair's plans to make over its brand.  One person said, "About time!"

I had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Fine for this blog: see Part 1 and Part 2 of my interview.

IMO The ladies recruiting for Mary Kay are abusing #beauty discussion forums

Distributors for Arbonne and Motives by Loren Ridinger are also abusing discussion forums for self-promotion.
