Rimmel London’s super perfecting BB cream worn by Georgia May Jagger

A 9-1 formula from Rimmel London, a perfecting cream that will treat the skin while you wear it, Rimmel London’s skin care hero will prime, moisturize, minimize pores, conceal, cover, smooth, mattify, brightens and helps protect.   BB creams are now working their way through the market offering a skin finish that is light but has that all important flawless finish.
I like to wear a light cream in the day time when I just want exactly that, a light cream. Here is a cream that offers 9 power packed properties that work well in today’s environment. Speaking with beauty industry experts when BB creams first appeared we assumed they must be only for an oily skin, but they are not.




BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, or beblesh balm (apparently because of a copyright in Korea on the word "blemish"), and in Western markets, beauty balm.  So for us beauty balm is what we require. BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sun protection.  It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage.




Rimmel’s BB Cream is creamy so it does not drag across the skin that is due in part to the moisturizing factor added, so more is less, it will help with covering light marks and blemished, but don’t use this product as a sole concealer. If you have serious blemishes, treat those with your concealer and then apply Rimmel’s BB Cream lightly over the skin.


You will get good mileage out of this BB Cream for the day, the primer will make sure of that, but you must prepare your skin properly before you use it. In the morning don’t forget to clean your skin, a lot of users think that if they are in the shower,  that  just water on their face is good enough but it is not. Clean your skin with your chosen skin cleanser, before you apply the Rimmel London BB Cream whether that ‘s in the morning or evening.
There is a lovely mattifing finish with this BB Cream, is not dry looking and has a soft powdered feel and finish. Some oily skins will feel the need to powder over the finish, but try to resist . You may end up changing your initial color choice as an oily skin has the possibility of becoming  more orange throughout the day. There are a few possibilities causing any foundation/cream/tint to become darker or turn orange, 1) the skin becomes a more acidic skin, 2) a pink foundation over a yellow undertone skin color, 3)foundation/cream/tint components reacting to the sebum in the skin, 4) oils in the skin or moisturizer can possibly intensify the color of the pigments.
Plus with an SPF 25 and a choice of three skin tones: Light, Medium and Medium/Dark. You can’t go past Rimmel’s BB Cream SPF 25 RRP $12.95and available from November 2012 at Kmart, Target, Big W, Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Woolworths and selected pharmacies.

Ancient Chinese practice acupuncture alternative to the facelift

Ancient Chinese practice acupuncture alternative to the facelift

Acupuncture seems to be favored in  Hollywood although this is an ancient practice, celebrities like Cameron Diaz uses this treatment. The Chinese have said it since ancient times: acupuncture is good for the skin, it makes it more elastic and toned, stimulating the synthesis of collagen. It’s considered  an option instead of a face-lift, equal to fillers, botox and biostimulants. The effect is softer that when a filler substance is injected, and it has the advantage of being a complete treatment of general strengthening of the organism and not a superficial correction. This is  a medical therapy that tones the up the organs, helping their physiological activity get better. The whole body benefits from it, including the cellular activity of the skin itself, the connective tissue and the muscle fibers. The face and the skin thus appear more relaxed.


Every patient reacts in a different way, because it depends on one’s general health. The treatments are done following the rules of Chinese medicine, along the meridian channels in the precise points that match the organ one wants to stimulate.  Another valuable method is the bio face-lift, based on homeopathic collagen applied on the acupuncture knots on the face, neck and neckline. The technique is based on small injections of substances with free anti radicals and stimulate the cells' turn-over. It’s important to follow a healthy diet and a balanced lifestyle, seen as the body and mind, according to the holistic vision of all Eastern medicines, are strictly tied to one another.
