Imagine freedom that comes from knowing you’re naturally preventing the signs of aging. St. Ives Timeless Skin products are dedicated to reducing the appearance of fine lines and maintaining your youthful appearance by using natural time-fighters that tone and firm your skin.

Cocoa butter and vitamin E were the best ingredients to heal sore lips.I carry this Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E swivel stick tube in my purse at all times.

Vitamin C applied topically used daily will firm, smooth, protect and repair skin areas from sun, UV and environmental damage.

Even plastic surgeons agree that vitamin C is the secret to reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating skin, it is also good for sun spots. Vitamin C helps protect against UV rays, but it is best applied topically in a cream.

Look for a Vitamin C cream that has amoebic acid that contains 3 - 10 % Vitamin C and is in an air tight container.

Best Electric Toothbrush

Oral B 5000
Choosing the right toothbrush can make a difference for the health of your mouth, here is the best electric toothbrush, the Oral B.It is important to care for your teeth and gums to prevent issues like gum disease and promote overall oral health.

Each Oral-B brush head’s unique design is inspired by the round shape of professional dental cleaning tools. The shape allows the toothbrush head to surround each tooth for individual cleaning, resulting in an amazing, tooth-by-tooth clean.

The Oral-B Professional 5000 features 40,000 pulsating movements per minute and superior plaque removal.* It has a waterproof, ergonomic rechargeable handle, an easy-to-read charge level display, and features 5 brushing modes: Daily Clean, Deep Clean, Sensitive, Massage, Polish.


When I was making the decision to buy this model, I went back and forth as to whether to go with the SmartSeries 5000 with its separate "Smart Guide," (as opposed to the only slightly-cheaper 4000) but I'm glad I opted to pay the extra money for this additional gizmo. Aside from the fact that it doubles as an unobtrusive bathroom clock, I actually find that the visual guidance on brushing times, brushing mode, and brushing pressure help me to use this product to its full potential.
